Chapter 10: The Zhuxian Sword is hidden in the dream of Mount Meru
"You don't need to know much."
Li Xingyuan said.
"You just need to know that someone wants to see you."
That's right, Li Xingyuan himself doesn't care what kind of grievance this is, he and the old man are just a simple employment relationship, and if he hands over Christopher on his side, the old man will prepare a set of artificial meridians for him, as for why the old man wants to arrest Christopher, Li Xingyuan doesn't care.
Christopher stared at Li Xingyuan, a slight thoughtful look in his glassy blue eyes.
"I see, you're the kind of mercenary who only takes on tasks and doesn't sell your life, right?" "I don't know who the client is or what they're trying to do...... Just doing things for the money. ”
Christopher, after coming to such a conclusion, seems to have settled down a lot in an instant.
"Since you're doing things for money, why don't you listen to my offer?"
Li Xingyuan didn't speak, he cautiously observed the changes in the network and electricity in the room through the mask, and slowly walked towards Christopher.
"300,000, 500,000, or 1 million?"
Christopher looked at Li Xingyuan, increasing his offer step by step, and his tone became a little flustered.
He didn't look like a man who was used to seeing life and death.
"As soon as you get out of here, I'll give you a million credits right away, how about it?"
One million credits, if it were used to buy the 'Bai Lian' level artificial meridians that Li Xingyuan wanted to buy at the beginning, it would be enough to buy four sets.
But Li Xingyuan didn't mean to be moved by Christopher.
It's not that Christopher's price is not tempting, but the threat that the old man brought to Li Xingyuan last night was too strong, and the sword intent that seemed to be everywhere really made Li Xingyuan unwilling to be an enemy of such a guy for money.
Seeing that Li Xingyuan was unmoved, Christopher's face showed a slightly helpless look.
Li Xingyuan tilted his head suddenly.
In that moment, Christopher raised his hand, his knuckles bent at an angle that was naturally impossible, and something shot out of it almost hit Li Xingyuan's head, and Li Xingyuan's head movement just dodged the blow.
The tacit understanding of the actions between the two is almost like a rehearsal in advance.
The thing nailed through the wall panel behind it, making a burst of electricity, and Christopher sighed.
"You monks who have strengthened the speed of nerve reactions are really unreasonable......
Li Xingyuan is naturally not a monk, and the reason why he was able to dodge Christopher's attack in an instant was because he had been carefully staring at Christopher's movements - before people launched an attack, they often unconsciously made a nervous reaction, and before the arm was raised, the shoulder would be prepared for a few tenths of a second earlier, as long as the nervous preparatory action could be read, he could detect the launch of the attack in advance without strengthening the nerve reaction speed, and then react.
Of course, Li Xingyuan didn't mean to explain to Christopher, he waved the black knife, and before Christopher put down his palm, his palm was split into two pieces from the middle, accompanied by the sound of electricity, and the prosthetic body made of machinery fell to the ground, and Christopher didn't have any expression on his face - the prosthetic body did not have the ability to perceive pain.
After making sure that it was impossible for this hand to launch anything to yin himself, Li Xingyuan held the black knife in his hand and pierced the shoulder blade of Christopher's other arm, this time Christopher let out a miserable scream, Li Xingyuan pulled out the black knife, looked at the bone chips on it, and confirmed that this arm had not been transformed, and should not have the strength to lift it again.
"Alright, alright! I give up. ”
Christopher gritted his teeth.
"Damn, take me to your client, I'd still prefer to communicate with civilized people."
Li Xingyuan pressed Christopher to the ground, and then was about to take out the rope in the kit to tie him up, but he noticed that the cone-shaped object in Christopher's spine that protruded out of his body suddenly began to slowly drill, and then one by one it rotated deep into Christopher's body, Christopher's body slammed into a bow, so strong that Li Xingyuan could barely suppress him.
"Be honest!"
Li Xingyuan scolded.
But Christopher's body suddenly loosened, as if it were a broken string, and he stopped talking, his face pressed against the ground, and his body lost its reaction.
He's dead?
Li Xingyuan felt bad, and turned Christopher's entire body over, but saw Christopher staring at the ceiling sluggishly, and his glass-bead-like blue eyes had been dilated, spreading out in the whites of his eyes.
"The Zhuxian Sword is hidden in the dream of Mount Meru."
Suddenly, from Christopher's mouth, where he had stopped breathing, there was a sound like a repeater.
"The Zhuxian Sword is hidden in the dream of Mount Meru."
He repeated the message over and over again, as if it were a radio wave running through the empty universe.
Can the immortal sword be hidden in the dream of Mount Meru?
Zhu Xian Sword Li Xingyuan naturally knows that it is a legendary treasure, how precious it is, you can imagine when you hear the name of the ominous 'Zhu Xian', now that the immortals have soared, what kind of treasure can be named Zhu Xian?
Li Xingyuan didn't have time to think too much, looking at Christopher, who had lost signs of life, his eyes flashed, as if he was thinking about something, and then he slashed it, and a blood mark appeared in the middle of Christopher's face, but after the scalp was split, his skull was a silver light.
Li Xingyuan took a deep breath, and then began to swing the Spell-Breaking Black Knife again.
In a few knives, Christopher's face had been completely cut off, Li Xingyuan sat down, groped his hand to the back of Christopher's head, and then untied the buckles one by one, the electronic brain made a soft click, and the life support system sprayed a pale white mist for its translucent shell, covering up the pink and purple things inside.
Li Xingyuan dismantled the electronic brain from the semi-natural spine connected to Christopher's body with an expressionless face, and when Li Xingyuan completely took out the electronic brain, its artificial neural notochord was still writhing, just like a silver metal centipede, a scorpion, or a face-hugging worm, and the cone-shaped object pierced from Christopher's spine was connected to the electronic brain, which seemed to be some kind of detachable accessory, and now it flashed with green light.
Really.
Christopher's body is dead, but his electronic brain is still alive.
In this era, life is not only in flesh and blood, but also in steel and code.
