"Why are you so kind to tell me these things?" Zhang Heng said in a deep voice.

"Because since you haven't stepped into my trap, and we are not sure that we can win each other now, then negotiation will become the only option for us to resolve our differences." "And before we talk, it's necessary for me to help you understand where you stand. ”

The monster in the black fog paused, and then said, "Over the years, those fanatical believers and clans have never given up looking for you, but that old fox of Chronos is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has always hidden you very well, and put you in China, the desert of faith, for some well-known reasons, where all gods are not friendly, and the conversion rate of faith obtained is outrageously low, until the start of this round of the game, few of the gods turned their eyes there.

But just over a year ago, Chronos took the initiative to find one of the owners of the city under the ice...... The Servant, who revealed your situation to the other party, and promised to help them raise you to be a perfect vessel for the master of the frozen city to get out of trouble, in exchange for friendship, and since then the news of you has spread rapidly among the fanatics and their families, and I am sure you have met some of them. ”

Zhang Heng thought of the seaside town full of haze, as well as the half-human, half-fish and frog monsters in the town, and the guys he met on Yonaguni Island, and each of them looked at him with a look full of longing, but it was only at this time that Zhang Heng understood that the desire was not aimed at him, what they really longed for was actually the thing that used him as a container.

"They've found you, and once they realize that you've completely lost your feelings, they'll happily flock to you to accept the coming, whether you like it or not, and on the other side, the old guy Chronos is obviously also planning his own calculations, friendship or something is just a lie, Chronos is not a fool, he doesn't know that the owner of the city under the ice doesn't have any affection for him because he helps, so he must have other intentions for you, as for the other gods......

"No one would welcome a madman, let alone a madman who is incredibly powerful and will bring fear and destruction to the world, and they may not have any special ill feelings towards you, but given that killing you is the easiest way to stop that guy from breaking the seal, if you were one of them, what do you think they would choose?"

The monster in the black mist chuckled, and continued to break his fingers to help Zhang Heng analyze, "I've said so much, I believe you can understand you now...... How bad the situation is, although I have always felt that the word enemy of the world is a bit of a middle two, but I have to admit that it is very appropriate to use this word to describe you now, although you may feel a little unwilling, but unconsciously, you still walked into this desperate situation. ”

"What about you?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically, "What do you want from me?" ”

"You're a smart man, and I've always liked to talk to smart people, and of course I don't have any good intentions toward you," Nayarathotep admitted happily, but then he continued, "but as I said before, we have a stake in certain matters...... But it's the same, you don't want it to happen, and I don't want that guy in the city under the ice to come out and completely steal my boss's position, and we have the same goal at this point. ”

"What will happen to me if the Advent happens?"

"Good question, of course your body will not have any trouble, because it is originally cultivated as a container, as for your soul, it may be quite strong among ordinary people, but in the face of the powerful spirit of the owner of that ice city, it will still be mercilessly crushed, devoured clean, and thus disappear from this world forever. And now I'm probably the only one who is willing and able to keep you. ”

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "How are you going to protect me?" ”

Then there was silence in the room, and after a few moments Nayarathotep's voice rang out again, "Don't rush to shoot just yet. ”

After he finished speaking, a claw slowly stretched out from behind the door, and that claw still grasped a bloody bone in it, "This is my second spine, as long as this spine is put into your body, it can help you resist that guy's mental invasion after the advent ritual begins, I can't guarantee that I will succeed, after all, that guy is too strong now, stronger than all of us combined, but this time I am preconceived, so the success rate is ...... It's about half and half, but it's worth the gamble, isn't it?

"Actually, I was busy with this when you pretended to be unconscious, and if it wasn't for your interruption, I would have done it. You don't have to worry, although you need to cut your neck in the process, but then I will help you sew it up, to ensure that it is as good as ever, even Chronos can't see it, speaking of which, this time I have also made a lot of money for you, although theoretically my body can be reborn, and those parts that you hit with a sniper rifle can repair themselves, but some key places cannot be copied casually, such as my second spine now, lost is lost. ”

Zhang Heng stood in the courtyard, silently listening to Naiyaratotep's words, but did not answer immediately.

And the monster in the black fog was not in a hurry, he seemed to have been sure that Zhang Heng would not be able to refuse, because as he said, the young man in front of him did not have much choice from the moment he was born into the world.

Zhang Heng's life has already been arranged, whether it is those fanatical believers, or Chronos, Hydra, or him, everyone who approaches this teenager has their own ghosts, and for various reasons, wanton manipulation rewrites Zhang Heng's life.

Each of them is not an idle person, they have different goals, and at the same time, they all regard Zhang Heng as a tool to achieve this goal.

And the tools have no right to resist.

It's like the current Nyara Totip, who seems to provide Zhang Heng with the right to choose, but he knows the young man in front of him

There was no way to refuse his proposal, because as long as the latter didn't want to be completed by the master of the city under the ice, he had no choice but to choose to cooperate with him, even if he knew that it was a poison in the cloak of honey, he could only frown and swallow it.
