48 Hours a Day - Chapter 1261
Chapter 1261 An Irresistible Proposal
“Why are you so kind as to tell me all these things?”Zhang Heng asked in a deep voice.
“Because since you haven’t fallen into my trap, and neither of us is confident that we can take down the other, negotiation will be our only option to resolve our differences, “Nyala Totipp said, “And before we start our conversation, I need to help you understand your current situation.”
The monster in the black fog paused and continued, “All these years, those fanatics and spawns have never given up looking for you. However, that Old Fox Kronos is not a pushover either. He has always hidden you well and placed you in the desert of faith in China. Because of some well-known reasons, it is not friendly to all the gods there. The conversion rate of faith obtained is so low that it makes one’s hair stand on end. Until the start of this game, very few of the gods turned their eyes to that place.
“However, about a year ago, Chronos took the initiative to find one of the masters of the city under the ice. He told them about you and promised to help them turn you into a perfect vessel for the master of the city under the ice to escape in exchange for their friendship. From then on, news of you began to spread among the fanatics and spawns. I believe you’ve already met some of them.”
Zhang Heng thought of the small seaside town, the half-man, half-fish, and half-frog monsters in the town, as well as the people he had met on the island. Every one of them looked at him with longing in their eyes, only then did Zhang Heng realize that the desire was not directed at him. What they really wanted was the thing that used him as a container.
“They have already found you. Once they realize that you have completely lost your feelings, they will happily embrace you to accept the arrival, whether you like it or not. On the other side, that old man Kronos is obviously plotting something of his own. Friendship is just a bunch of lies. Kronos is not a fool. He knows that the Master of the city under ice will not have any good feelings for him just because of his help. Therefore, he must have other intentions toward you. As for the other gods.. “No one would welcome the arrival of a madman, let alone someone as powerful as that madman. He has to bring fear and destruction to the world. They might not have any ill feelings towards you, but since killing you is the easiest way to stop that guy from escaping the seal, if you were one of them, what do you think they would choose?”
The monster in the black fog chuckled and continued to analyze Zhang Heng’s situation, “After all that I’ve said, I’m sure you can understand how bad things are for you right now. Even though I’ve always felt that the term ‘enemies with the world’is a little silly, I have to admit that it’s the most appropriate term to describe the current you. Even though you might feel a little resentful, you still unknowingly walked into this desperate situation.”
“What About You?”Zhang Heng asked. “What do you want from me?”
“You’re a smart person, and I like to be frank with smart people. Of course, I don’t have any good intentions toward you,”Nara totip admitted readily, but then he continued, “But as I said before, our interests in certain things… are the same. You Don’t want the descent to happen, and I don’t want that guy from underice city to come out and completely steal my boss’s position. On this point, we have the same goal.”
“What will happen to me if the descent happens?”
“That’s a good question. Of course, your body won’t be in any trouble, because it was originally raised as a container. As for your soul, it might be considered powerful among ordinary people, but when faced with the powerful spirit of the Master of the city under the ice, it will still be mercilessly crushed, devoured clean, and disappear from this world forever. “And right now, I’m probably the only one who’s willing and able to protect
you.”
Zhang Heng raised an eyebrow. “How are you going to protect me?”
However, the room fell into silence again. After a moment, Nara Totipp’s voice rang out again. “Don’t shoot yet.”
After he said that, a claw slowly reached out from behind the door. That Claw still held a bloody bone, “This is my second vertebra. As long as this vertebra is placed in your body, it will be able to help you resist the spiritual attack of that guy after the arrival ceremony begins. I Can’t guarantee that it will succeed. After all, that guy is too strong now, stronger than all of US combined. But this time, I have a preconceived idea, so the success rate… is about 50-50, but it’s still worth a gamble, isn’t it.
“Actually, I was busy with the same thing when you pretended to be unconscious. If you hadn’t interrupted me, I would have finished it by now. “Don’t worry. Even though I’ll have to cut your neck open during the process, I’ll still sew it up for you later. I’ll make sure it’s as good as new. Even Kronos won’t be able to tell. Speaking of which, I’ve put in a lot of effort for you this time. In theory, my body can be regenerated, and the parts that were hit by your sniper rifle can heal themselves. However, there are some critical parts that can’t be easily replicated. For example, my second vertebra. Losing it means losing it.”
Zhang Heng stood in the courtyard, silently listening to Nara Totipp’s words, but he did not answer immediately.
The monster in the Black Fog was not in a hurry either. It seemed that he was certain that Zhang Heng would not refuse, because just as he had said, from the moment this young man was born into this world, he did not have many choices.
Zhang Heng’s life had already been arranged by someone. Whether it was the fanatics, Kronos, Hydra, or him, everyone who approached this young man had their own ulterior motives. For different reasons.., wanton manipulation changed Zhang Heng’s life.
Each of them was not an ordinary person. They had different goals, and at the same time, they all regarded Zhang Heng as a tool to achieve this goal.
And tools had no right to resist.
Just like the current Nyala Totipp, although it seemed to provide Zhang Heng with the right to choose, he knew the young man before him
There was no way he could reject Zhang Heng’s proposal, because as long as the latter did not want to be completed by the Master of underice city, he would have no choice but to cooperate with Zhang Heng. Even though he knew that this was a poison in the guise of honey.., he could only swallow it with a frown.
