Chapter 449: The Gaze Before Death
Rumor?
Is Fan Lu's death really a rumor?
This matter, inside the Zero Point Tavern, is indeed characterized as a rumor, and it is not allowed to spread indiscriminately, and no member is allowed to talk about it in private, everything is sealed to death.
However, in this information age, network information spreads rapidly, and there is no impermeable wall.
The more this kind of news is blocked, the easier it is to arouse people's curiosity.
"Rumors, these two words are really wonderful, and they can explain many things." Su Xia smiled slightly and said to Kunkun.
For the rest of the people, whether it is a rumor or not.
But Su Xia himself was an experiencer, and he personally killed Fan Lu, so he was the most qualified to refute this rumor.
"This kind of rumor, no member is allowed to spread it in private, warn you once, if you dare to say this again in the future, I will immediately take coercive measures against you!" Kun Kun snorted coldly.
"What if it's not a rumor?" Su Xia laughed.
"Hmph, I've already warned once, since you don't know what to do, then don't blame me!"
Kun Kun's face was cold, and his whole body erupted with terrifying spiritual energy fluctuations, and he was about to do it without saying a word!
Behind him, there were more than a dozen members of the tavern headquarters dressed in black.
They moved in unison, blocking the left and right sides of the corridor to ensure that no one could escape.
Seeing this scene, the faces of many members of the North Wind Story Club changed in unison, and they immediately rushed forward, trying to protect Su Xia behind.
"Protect Master Su!"
In the consciousness of most people, although Su Xia has outstanding potion ability, his body is weak, and he is not much stronger than ordinary people.
However, among the crowd, Zhu Lu looked strange and did not do anything like the rest of the story club members.
Yi Yi also clasped his hands, and a sneer flashed on his face, as if he was watching a clown, watching Kunkun's actions.
"No...... right"
Kun Kun is a smart man, and after realizing that something is not quite right between the two, he immediately put away the spiritual energy fluctuations.
The three words "Master Su" in everyone's mouths made him think of something.
His eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Su Xia carefully, and then asked gloomily, "Who is you?" You're not from the Zero Tavern! ”
"Seongnam Apothecary, Susha." Su Xia said calmly.
"Hmph, no wonder you were able to save that living dead, it turned out to be you, a traitor seeking glory! It is said that you are a genius, but now it seems that you have not lost the name of genius. Kun Kun said coldly.
"It's over." Su Xia smiled faintly.
"It's none of your business here, get out of here, get back to your pharmacy!" With a wave of Kunkun's hand, the black-clothed people in the corridor moved one after another, making way for Su Xia.
Now, Susha is a member of the mechanical faction, and is an extremely well-known figure in the faction.
Kun Kun had no reason to arrest him, even if he scratched his skin a little, it would easily cause confrontation between the Cymbtons and the Zero Tavern again.
The situation is tense, and no one wants to escalate it.
Therefore, Kun Kun can only let him go, out of sight and out of mind.
However, Su Xia didn't plan to leave.
His face did not change, and he said calmly: "Mr. Kun is not right, my patient is here, how can he say that it has nothing to do with me?" ”
"Didn't you already cure her?" Kun Kun asked impatiently.
"It's not enough to just look at the surface."
Su Xia smiled and said, "My treatment is divided into six courses in total, each course has nine steps, and each step needs to be observed more than ten times, but now it is only observed twice. ”
He said this lightly, but Kunkun was furious when he heard it.
Although Kun Kun is not a pharmacist, he is a person from the headquarters of the Zero Tavern after all, and there are not a few high-level pharmacists who have come into contact with the headquarters, and there are countless high-level potions he has taken.
The treatment process of the rest of the pharmacists, how could it be so troublesome as Su Xia?
"Do you have to go against me?" Kun Kun stared at Su Xia.
"Taking care of the sick, why is it against Mr. Kun?" Su Xia was slightly surprised, "Doesn't Mr. Kun want someone to treat the patients in your Zero Tavern?" Maybe it's because I'm lonely, but my friends don't know that there is such a rule in the Zero Tavern, and I'll talk to them about it when I get back. ”
"You ......"
Kun Kun's expression was fierce, his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to be about to eat Su Xia, his fists were clenched, and his knuckles were clenched.
If this kind of thing is publicized by Su Xia, what will outsiders think of the Zero Tavern?
How can you explain that your own members need to be treated, but the people at headquarters are doing everything they can to prevent the pharmacists from approaching?
When the time comes, it will be passed on to ten, ten to hundred, and it won't be long before this kind of thing will reach everyone's ears.
The rest of the large organizations will not let go of this opportunity and will do everything they can to pour dirty water on the Zero Point Tavern.
"You're a very articulate person, no wonder you can win the trust of Yu Tuo and Mercer!" Kun Kun said coldly.
"It's over!" Susha smiled.
"In that case, you can treat her well here!" Kun Kun's voice was cold, "I'll come back tomorrow, and then she still has to go with me and accept normal interrogation!" ”
"Mr. Kun, I may be going to disappoint you." Su Xia spoke again.
"What do you mean?"
Kun Kun suppressed the anger and killing intent in his heart and stared at Su Xia coldly.
The matter of interrogation is an internal matter of the Zero Tavern, which has nothing to do with Su Xia, a pharmacist.
He can't interfere in Su Xia's treatment, but Su Xia can't interfere in his interrogation, this is a two-way tacit understanding, and no one should break this rule.
Su Xia explained with a smile: "My patient has just woken up, her body is very weak, and her psychology is also fragile, she can't continue to live in this dark underground world, I will take her to the pharmacy to recuperate, maybe it will take a few years to recuperate...... In the meantime, if Mr. Kun wants to be interrogated, he will come to my pharmacy. ”
"A few years...... Time? ”
Kun Kun stared at Su Xia in disbelief, gritted his teeth, and popped out these words from between his teeth.
What kind of recuperation takes several years?
How long is a person's life?
Kun Kun took a deep breath, his chest rose and fell, and the anger and killing intent in his heart were almost uncontrollable.
If he were to be a member of the Zero Tavern and talk to him like this in front of him, now that he had already done it, where would he need any nonsense?
What he didn't know was that if this was not a Zero Point Tavern, but some wilderness, Su Xia wouldn't talk nonsense with him!
What can be done is naturally the best to do it directly!
"No, she can't go! Gotta stay here! Kun Kun's face was ugly, and he vetoed Su Xia's request.
"Why is that?" Su Xia asked pretending to be surprised.
"You don't need to know why, anyway she can't go!"
"Is the Zero Tavern going to restrict the freedom of its members?"
Su Xia was surprised again, and said: "This is not the same as the publicity of the Zero Point Tavern, maybe there are some hidden rules that I don't know?" Looks like I'll have to ask my friends when I get back, and they should know. ”
"You ......"
Kun Kun was furious, and his angry eyes were about to erupt with fire.
Zero Tavern restricts member freedom?
If this is spread by Su Xia, it will definitely cause an uproar, and the impact on the reputation of the tavern can be imagined.
The most important thing is that Su Xia is a pharmacist, not an ordinary person, and what he says carries some authority in itself.
Moreover, every pharmacist has a wide range of connections, and there will be countless people who are willing to be a loudspeaker for Su Xia and help him spread these words.
"The tavern has always respected the freedom of its members, and you don't have to be surprised!" Kun Kun took a few more deep breaths and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
suppressed it three times and twice, and his whole person was not good, and he always felt that something was blocked in his chest.
"So, my patients can be taken by me?" Susha asked.
"A few years is impossible, it's too long!" Kun Kun gritted his teeth and reluctantly took a step back.
"No problem, I'll let them come back as long as their illness is completely gone." Su Xia laughed.
"No, you have to give an accurate time!"
"I can't say for sure."
Su Xia spread his hands and said: "Illness comes like a mountain, illness goes like a thread, such a simple truth, Mr. Kun should understand, right?" I don't know how long it's going to take. ”
"A month! Up to a month! ”
Kun Kun gave his psychological bottom line, which is already the longest he can give.
"Huh? Is the tavern free for only one month? ”
Su Xia didn't seem to be satisfied, touched her chin, frowned and shook her head.
He said unhurriedly: "Now it seems that those rumors about the 'freedom' of the tavern are indeed true, and after I go back, I have to talk to my friends and let them choose carefully which force to join." ”
"What rumors?" Kun Kun asked coldly.
He didn't think there were any other rumors, most of them were Su Xia's nonsense.
Recently, the only rumor that can make the tavern go down is the death of Fan Lu.
However, next, Su Xia said something that made his scalp tingle.
"Mr. Kun knows about the dead, right?" Su Xia asked with a smile, "I heard that the Zero Point Tavern secretly cultivated many dead soldiers, and that night in Seahorse City, ten powerful dead soldiers appeared and fought against the masked monsters, causing a lot of trouble to the masked monsters. ”
"What do you want to say?" Kun Kun suddenly felt bad and immediately questioned.
The battle that night was not secret, many of the organizational forces stationed in the town witnessed the whole process, and even many photos and videos were circulated.
"I've heard that many of those dead men didn't want to become dead soldiers, but just signed a contract to sell their souls." Su Xia smiled slightly and continued.
"That's the rumor?" Kun Kun asked.
"Of course not." Su Xia shook her head.
"What else?"
"I've also heard that the reason why those dead people sign the kind of contract that sells their souls is because they were all in a state of dying before signing the contract, and if they don't sign it, they will definitely die."
"Hmph, what's this? Isn't it okay to exchange freedom for life? ”
Kunkun's face became more and more ugly, staring at Su Xia, but his mouth was still tough, and his tone did not change in the slightest.
Su Xia smiled indifferently and said, "There are also rumors that the reason why those people are in a near-death state is because their mission information was betrayed, causing them to be hunted down and seriously injured, and finally had to choose that way. ”
"Nonsense!"
Kun Kun's face was hard to see, and he seemed to know what Su Xia was going to say next.
"In a place like the Zero Tavern, where information is highly confidential, why are the mission information of those members betrayed?" Su Xia asked with a look of surprise, "What kind of person has enough power to probe the mission information of each member?" ”
"The heads of the various branches?" Yi Yi suddenly spoke, frowning and said.
"Yes, it's a possibility." Su Xia nodded slightly.
"People at headquarters also have the right to look at it directly." Another person spoke, and it turned out to be a member of the headquarters dressed in black, and there seemed to be doubt in his eyes, and he subconsciously said this.
"Shut up!"
Kun Kun turned his head to look at the member, his face was ugly, and he snorted coldly.
The member shuddered, and immediately lowered his head, realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
The smile on Su Xia's face did not change, and he continued: "You probably understand what this rumor I am talking about, it is said that the Zero Tavern will select some potential members, and then deliberately leak their mission information, causing their identities to be exposed, and they will be hunted down by the enemy to the brink of death, and then ...... The people of the tavern will show up at a critical moment and demand that these potential members trade their freedom for their lives. ”
"Nonsense! Nonsense! Who told you this rumor? Kun Kun shouted, his voice was much louder than before, and it looked like he was a little out of control.
"I forgot!"
Su Xia shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and said, "As a pharmacist, I come into contact with many people every day, I forgot who told me, why is Mr. Kun so excited?" Such an exaggerated rumor can't be true, right? ”
"You ......"
Kun Kun clenched his fists and stared at Su Xia, his face changed several times, as if he was making a decision.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became much more depressed, and everyone could clearly feel the killing intent in this depression.
Yiyi's face changed slightly, and he slowly moved forward, ready to make a move.
Once Kun Kun makes a move on Su Xia, then Yi Yi will do whatever it takes to send Su Xia out of the confines of the tavern.
"Mr. Kun, what's wrong?"
Su Xia smiled, without the slightest fear on his face, and calmly met Kunkun's fierce eyes.
He didn't intend to say anything about it, because he was just guessing.
But, at that moment, he suddenly changed his mind.
Because he suddenly thought of Qi Yu, the man codenamed "Shadow of Death".
Qi Yu, a proud son of the sky, became a fifth-level creature at a young age, and is one of the most promising members of the tavern, and everyone thinks that he will surely shine in the future and become a legend of a generation.
But one night two years ago, when he was on a mission, the information was exposed for some reason, and he was besieged by the other party, and finally he was seriously injured and fell into the valley, and he should have died at the bottom of the valley, but he was found by the people at the tavern headquarters before he died.
In order to live to investigate the reason for the revelation of his information, he signed the contract to sell his soul.
But, since then, he has completely lost his freedom and has become a walking corpse.
After that, the outside world thought he was dead, and even the tavern held a funeral for him.
It wasn't until not long ago, on the night in Seahorse City, that the moment he tore off the human skin mask on his face, the name Qi Yu appeared in front of the world again.
"He can't find the truth with his own hands, maybe he already knew......"
Susha reminisced about that night in Seahorse City.
In the small town of Seahorse City, in the drifting rain that night, Qi Yu, as one of the ten dead soldiers, did not use all his strength at all, he seemed to be bent on death, and he didn't even open the shield.
At the time, many onlookers on both sides of the town were surprised and didn't understand why he had chosen that way.
If he used his true strength, Su Xia would definitely not win so easily.
At the moment when he was covered in blood and knelt down in the rain, Su Xia saw the unwillingness in his eyes.
"Maybe he has long wanted to end that kind of life of no people and no ghosts, but he can't die too casually, he must die at the hands of someone strong enough to make his death worthwhile."
Su Xia recalled Qi Yu's gaze before he died, and it didn't take long after that for him to understand what Qi Yu meant.
That's a commission!
He wants to use his death to ask Susha to investigate the truth!
