Chapter II

Anne is a person who likes to do things and don't like to talk, she turned around with a sneer, and she said proudly: "What if you can't beat it?" Even if it doesn't matter, I'll never give it to the enemy. You don't need to be on my side, if you want to go with him, you can. ”

As she spoke, she turned to John, "What about you?" Will you be with me? Despite the usual indifference on her face, there was a hint of anticipation in Anne's eyes as she said this.

John was silent for a moment, and he shook his head at Anne's surprised gaze.

From surprise to disbelief, then to anger, Anne's face turned pale in an instant. Nodding her head slowly, she sneered: "Very good, you get out immediately, I never want to see you again." ”

"Listen to me, Annieβ€”" John stepped closer.

Utterly disappointed and angry, Anne could no longer hear any words, and she turned to Lever like a whirlwind, her five fingers smeared with the bowstring and the three black arrows were fastened: "Do it." ”

Seeing that the two were about to make a move, John shouted violently: "Annie! ”

This sound resounded through the valley, and countless birds and finches were startled, and Anne couldn't help but stop after being stunned. John had stopped in front of her with an expression of extreme anger: "Why can't you just listen to other people's opinions? Zhang Lie is very right, is it really worth sacrificing his life for an inconsequential thing? ”

"Hmph... Humans are human beings after all, and you can do anything to stay alive. Anne sneered: "If you are afraid of death, just get out, I don't need you to talk nonsense here." ”

His face turned red, and John tore open his shirt violently: "Look here!" ”

Not understanding what he meant, a hint of confusion flashed in Anne's eyes, and John had already said loudly, "There was originally a necklace here to represent my status as a Templar. But just now, I threw it away, along with my pride and dignity as a Templar, and you know why? ”

Without waiting for Anne to speak, he continued, "It's you! As a Templar, I shouldn't have anything to do with the non-humans, but I'm still with you these days, do you think this is the behavior of someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death? And just now, I have abandoned my last retreat, and from now on I will make a complete break with the Holy See, and will be cursed and spurned by everyone, do you think that those who are greedy for life and afraid of death can have such a decision? ”

In the face of John's anger, Anne surprisingly did not refute or speak, but it was obvious that the disappointment and anger in her eyes had gradually subsided.

Gasping for breath twice, John looked deep into Anne's fiery eyes with sad eyes: "Listen, Anne, I am not afraid of death, when you have saved me five times, my life has been one with you." But that's why I don't want you to do it, whether you think I'm cowardly or afraid of death, it doesn't matter, I just want you to live well. ”

Annie's expression did not change at all, and she seemed to be unmoved, but the careful Zhang Lie had already seen that the sniper bow in her hand had been lowered slightly, and the arrow was pointing to the ground.

Knowing that this was the best opportunity, Zhang Lie lost no time in saying: "Annie, think about it, you are no longer alone, but the current patriarch of the Harpy Clan, and any action you take will be responsible for your people, do you understand what it means for them to die here?" ”

The fire in Anne's eyes had been completely extinguished, her delicate eyebrows were furrowed, and the painful struggle in her heart was completely reflected on her face, there had never been a moment when it would be so difficult for her to make a decision decisively.

Zhang Lie and John both looked at her nervously, and although Lever looked indifferent, he could find that his gaze never left Anne for a moment.

Finally, under the gaze of the three of them, Anne nodded slowly, although unwillingly, but firmly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Call... Coincidentally, several people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Looking at Anne, Zhang Lie didn't know what to do for a while. Anne's compromise was pleasing to him, but at the same time he had mixed feelings. At the moment when John's words moved Anne just now, Zhang Lie knew that although Anne was still that Anne, she could no longer be the original Anne in her bones.

Not for anything else, just because she has one more John in her vitality.

John of Humanity.

Looking at the two of them with complicated expressions, Zhang Lie sighed: "Annie, I hope this choice will not eventually push you into a state of no return..."

At this time, Anne had turned the sniper bow upside down, and pierced her two fingers into the cyan eyeball in the middle of the bow, and little by little. Soon, countless bloodshots appeared in her eyeballs, and at the same time, Anne pulled her hand and pulled out the shining thunder crystal between her fingers.

With both crystals in front of him, Lever's breathing became heavy. He took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and then reached out and pinched Zhang Lie's lower abdomen.

Hearing a crisp snap, Zhang Lie felt as if something in his body had been cut off, and Lever said in a deep voice: "I have killed the worm for you, and now you can fulfill the agreement, right?" ”

After silently inspecting for a moment to make sure that there was nothing abnormal in his body, Zhang Lie took Lei Jing from Annie's hand and handed it to Lever along with Dark Crystal. Grabbed it impatiently, and Lever's face was irrepressibly ecstatic.

Zhang Lie said suddenly: "What are you going to do after the contract is terminated?" ”

Lever smiled grimly, "I'll surprise Konstantin and make him understand the price of trying to control the demons." Rest assured, I'm not a fanatical killer, and now I have no interest in you, and I don't want to provoke senseless enemies, so I go my separate ways, and it's better never to see each other again. ”

With a sigh, Zhang Lie nodded in understanding. On the side, John heard Lever mention the name of Constantine, and instinctively wanted to do something, but thought of his current identity, and he forcibly stopped.

Grabbing the two crystals in his hands, Lever quickly uttered a series of incomprehensible strange words from his mouth, and at the same time, the two crystals burned like a fire, and two rays of light, one black and one blue, intertwined, like a spiral, wrapped around Lever's wrist and wrapped around his arm.

However, just as the glow was about to reach his heart, the two crystals suddenly let out a slight snort, and the shining surface quickly dimmed.

Slightly stunned, Lever looked incredulous. He clutched the crystal tightly and began to chant loudly again. However, this time, except for a slight flash, the two crystals did not move at all.

"No, how is this possible, how is it possible?" Lever was shocked and angry, and his mouth couldn't help but whisper.

With a move in his heart, Zhang Lie had already guessed what was going on. It seems that the energy inside these two crystals is consumed so much that it is no longer enough for Lever to break the Ageras contract. With all the effort to get them, the opportunity to be free was just around the corner, but with such a result, no wonder he was so out of shape.

"Damn it!" With a roar, Lever's face contorted, and he raised his hand as if to throw the two crystals off the cliff, but hesitated for a moment to retract them into his arms.

His utter disappointment and resentment caused him to raise his head and let out a low roar, which thundered far away, weaving together into a deafening wave among the mountains below. His back bulged slightly, and with a thud, two huge fleshy wings stretched out, and Lever soared into the sky, quickly flying away.

Dumbfounded by the astonishing changes in the field, John exclaimed, "W-What's that?" ”

Zhang Lie turned around and showed him a strange smile: "Demon." ”

"Demons?" John was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "Impossible..."

Zhang Lie glanced at him meaningfully: "There are more surprising things than this." ”

Ignoring the stunned John, he said to Anne, "Your injuries are not healed, I will treat you first." ”

Anne shook her head: "No need, let's break up here." I'm going to find my people, and I don't want to pay any more attention to what's going on outside. ”

Knowing that everything that happened during this time had made Anne disheartened, Zhang Lie no longer persuaded her, only nodded and said: "Then you should be careful, the situation is very chaotic now, in addition to humans, the elder group may also be unfavorable to you." ”

Nodding slightly, Anne turned and walked towards the forest, and John hurried to catch up. When he walked past Zhang Lie, he hesitated and stopped: "Just now you said that there was something more amazing, what is it?" ”

Zhang Lie shrugged: "Want to know?" This demon was sent by the Holy See to deal with us. ”

His eyes widened in surprise, and it took him a long time before John stammered, "This is impossible, how could the Holy See..."

With a deep smile, Zhang Lie patted him on the shoulder: "The truth is always surprising, isn't it?" ”

John opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, and Anne's call was already heard in the woods. He gritted his teeth: "I never believe that the Holy See would do such a thing. Then he hurried into the forest.

*********************************************************************

In a moment, Zhang Lie was the only one left on the edge of the cliff.

Xiao Yu appeared at this time: "Brother Zhang Lie, that disgusting bug is gone, but there are still a few eggs left in your heart, I have never seen this kind of thing, I dare not touch them." ”

Zhang Lie sneered: "As I expected, that guy really did something in secret. ”

Although the worms were removed, Lever hid the eggs in Zhang Lie's body, like a backdoor left by hackers, and if something happened in the future, as long as these eggs hatched, Zhang Lie would have to be controlled by him again. However, Lever didn't expect that Zhang Lie was still raising a ghost Xiaoyu, and any abnormal movement in her body couldn't hide from her.

"Brother Zhang Lie, what should I do? These eggs are attached to the center of your heart, and I can't do anything about them. Xiaoyu said guiltily.

Zhang Lie didn't care much: "It's okay, nothing will happen for a while, there will always be a way to solve it." As he spoke, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Xuanzhong! ”

There was silence all around, and there was no reaction. Zhang Lie raised his voice again: "Xuanzhong! ”

Finally, the ground on the edge of the dense forest on the left shook for a while, and with a creaking sound, several large trees were knocked to the ground by the uplifted earth and rocks, and a man jumped out with a loud bang.

It could be seen that Xuan Zhong was still angry about Zhuo Lingyu's matter, he puffed out his cheeks and deliberately looked to the side, ignoring Zhang Lie. Such an expression appeared on the face of a strong man like him, like a child.

Zhang Lie beckoned to him: "Let's go, let's go back to the secluded mountain." ”

"Don't go!" Xuanzhong said angrily: "You are very bad, Xuanzhong doesn't want to go with you." ”

Xiao Yu was surprised: "Brother Zhang Lie, are you going to go to the secluded mountain?" But Jude is dead. ”

Zhang Lie nodded: "No way, I have to go anyway, after so many days, it is time to relax their surveillance of the secluded mountain, and if Xuanzhong leads the way, they should be able to enter smoothly." ”

"Hmph, Xuanzhong said that he wouldn't go with you." Xuan Zhong snorted again, and simply sat on the ground.

Knowing that he was a child's temper, Zhang Lie and Xiaoyu didn't care. Xiaoyu asked, "But what are you going to do when you go back?" ”

Zhang Lie touched his chin: "Although I didn't meet the conditions of the Corpse King, I still decided to try to see if I could move him." And I should also go and meet Jian Xian, see what he is doing these days, and let him solve these eggs for me by the way. ”

Saying that, he walked towards Xuan Chong: "Don't make a fuss, forget that I promised you to let Jian Xian let you go free?" If you don't come with me, how can I help you? ”

"Really?" Xuanzhong jumped up in surprise: "You didn't lie to Xuanzhong, right?" ”

Zhang Lie nodded with a serious face: "Of course it's true, I promised you." ”

"Hahahaha, Xuanzhong is free, I want to go back to find the little benefactor, and then snatch back my home, Xuanzhong no longer has to be scolded by Jian Xian..."

Looking at the smiling Xuanzhong, Zhang Lie suddenly had an idea: when he is angry, he will be angry, and when he is happy, he will be happy, without any concealment, in a sense, the simple Xuanzhong lives happier than any of them...

Xiaoyu whispered to Zhang Lie: "Brother Zhang Lie, do you really want Jian Xian to let him go?" ”

With a sinister smile, Zhang Lie also replied in a low voice: "I only promised to intercede for Jian Xian on his behalf, as for whether to agree or not, that's Jian Xian's business, isn't it?" ”

Staring at him for a long time, and then looking at Xuanzhong, who was still so happy and carried away, Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Zhang Lie, you are really good or bad..."
