Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

Liu Yan frowned slightly and voiced his guess.

"So, you're afraid I'll agree?"

This sudden frown made Ivan's heart skip a beat.

After confirming that Liu Yan would not suddenly attack or hurt anyone, Ivan nodded seriously.

I don't know what others think.

"But in my heart, I can die a glorious death in battle, even if I ultimately perish."

"I will never become a slave to a world of illusion and uncertainty."

"I believe that most people think this way."

Liu Yan suddenly looked at Ivan in surprise.

Liu Yan's expression then became somewhat strange.

Ivan's words just now resonated with Liu Yan.

Even if he were to die, he would never agree to join Hafk.

However, this doesn't sound like something Ivan would say.

When you were being chased and hacked at, you seemed to be begging for mercy, right?

I've never seen anyone speak so confidently before...

Ivan, oblivious to Liu Yan's strange expression, continued speaking to himself:

"I originally wanted to observe your character first."

"Turns out I've discovered you're a bit too masculine."

"In addition, you suddenly flew into the sky during the battle. I thought you had run away, which is why I decided to kill you."

Liu Yan raised his hand to interrupt.

"Wait a minute, didn't you shoot me with a smoothbore musket before we even met?"

Liu Yan thought of the sudden gunshot wound he had received.

Ivan blushed and gave an awkward laugh.

"That smoothbore gun was the first one I ever used."

"Really, you believe me."

“I was fiddling with it at the time, and I was thinking to myself, if Liu Yan might agree to join Hafk, then I'll kill him.”

"As soon as the idea came to mind, the smoothbore musket suddenly went off by accident."

Liu Yan couldn't detect any lying in Ivan's micro-expressions.

It was probably like the first time I used a smoothbore gun.

I muttered to myself that I would kill Chen Yu later, but at the time I thought it was an accidental discharge.

"But I must say, your soldiers really impressed me."

"From the moment they appeared, I dispelled my doubts about you."

"Their equipment was all top-of-the-line, and they even had special items."

"This shows that you've put a lot of effort into them."

"Moreover, I don't believe they can learn this thing on their own."

Ivan raised his hand and pointed to the devices on the waists of the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers were looking at Liu Yan, their eyes conveying a thousand unspoken words.

This further convinced Ivan.

He continued:

"When I first saw those six thousand soldiers, I knew you wouldn't agree to Jacob's invitation."

"After all, these soldiers will be your weakness."

"I wanted to have a proper talk with you back then."

"Who would have thought that as soon as I said you should know me, you would attack me."

At this point, Ivan glanced at Liu Yan and sighed helplessly.

My first impression of you...

"It's really a bit too much."

Chapter 235 The Stench from Underground

Liu Yan rolled his eyes, speechless.

Has no one ever told you you're mentally ill?

"Or has anyone from the Xia Kingdom ever called you an idiot?"

Ivan just rambled on and on.

Liu Yan understood what was going on.

Jacob invited himself as well as him.

And she said almost the same thing to him.

Knowing that their choice might lead to others wearing brain-computer interfaces.

That's why he wanted to kill himself.

If Liu Yan were him, he would have done the same thing.

The best way to resolve most issues is always to address the concerns of the individuals involved.

Ivan shook his head.

"Of course not, they all call me the War Magician."

Liu Yan put away the ceremonial dagger.

The sudden movement caused Ivan to instinctively take a step back.

The image of being slashed was still lingering in his mind.

"Is your way of getting people to talk to you to kidnap them first?"

"I told you, I want to see what kind of person you are."

Ivan straightened his stained bartender uniform and continued:

“I didn’t know you had so many soldiers at first.”

"Think about kidnapping them and seeing your reaction."

"After seeing the other soldiers, I decided to confront you."

"But you're so outstanding, what can I do?"

Ivan spread his hands, his expression one of utter helplessness.

"What's with that ability of yours? Did you make a wish from the Heart of Africa?" Liu Yan suddenly asked.

Ivan nodded and replied truthfully:

"It's a kind of escape technique in magic. I used to know it too, but it's not as powerful as the improved version of the Heart of Africa."

"How did you make that promise?" Liu Yan asked.

Ivan thought for a while before saying:

"I can't say it word for word, but I'll give you a general idea."

"However, this is still important intelligence. Could it buy my life?"

Ivan was fully aware of his current predicament; without Xiao's soul providing the Golden Tear Crown, he was doomed.

It might take Liu Yan some effort to kill him, but that doesn't mean he can't.

"Go ahead," Liu Yan nodded.

"That's roughly what I said at the time."

Ivan coughed twice to clear his throat before recounting his wish at the time:

"I wish to become the greatest magician, to upgrade all the magic tricks I know. For example, the original card-hiding trick can be changed to hiding other items in my hand. And the escape trick is the most important. It must really save my life. If it is too unbelievable, I can add some price, such as some low-value items. The quantity does not matter, but it must have the visual appeal of a top magician."

Ivan rattled off his wish in one breath, without even taking a moment to catch his breath.

By the end, his face was flushed red, and he almost suffocated.

Liu Yan's mouth slowly opened wide.

"So...specific?"

Having made two wishes, Liu Yan knew that the Heart of Africa was actually quite intelligent.

For example, the wish I made in my MP3 player while collecting figurines.

When Cai Ning was mentioned, he said, "The Heart of Africa will know which one is Cai Ning."

This shows that the heart of Africa is not rigid.

"Of course, what if my wish comes true, but it's not what I want?"

Ivan casually produced a bottle of cola and started drinking it himself.

He had just said so much that his mouth was dry.

But in the end, there are only two main things he wants to make.

One is an upgrade to his magic skills, and the other is the price to pay.

Liu Yan pondered for a moment.

Ivan's thought process is truly remarkable.

Essentially, it's about trading resources for lives.

But if we really talk about it, the garbage that Ivan's ability consumes is actually worth more.

Although it can be recycled, it appears more than 300 meters away, so it cannot be recycled again in a short time.

Upon hearing the two mention the Heart of Africa, a soldier, with a mysterious expression, placed a hand on Liu Yan's shoulder.

"Boss, look what I brought you."

As he spoke, a soldier held up an African heart and waved it in front of Liu Yan.

Liu Yan and Ivan's pupils shrank simultaneously as they looked at the soldier in disbelief.

"Well done, number 88888, you've kept it well hidden. Luckily, I also prepared one for the boss."

As he spoke, the soldier also took out an African heart.

"No, where did you guys put them? Boss, I'm not as lucky as them. I only have one resuscitation ventilator."

The soldier took a resuscitation ventilator out of his bag and handed it to Liu Yan.

The other soldiers also began searching their backpacks.

They pulled out a dazzling array of unusual items from their bags.

These were all gifts they prepared for Liu Yan when they first met him.

Liu Yan was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Ivan, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

what is this?

For the past three years, while other countries were clearing out their soldiers, he had gone to the operational area to search everywhere.

After three years, they only managed to find two African hearts.

As a result, Liu Yan didn't even need to look for it himself; the soldiers handed it over without hesitation.
