Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

"Mr. Lin Wei is the one who really surprised me. Please forgive my impoliteness just now. After all, the content of today's transaction is indeed beyond my expectations."

Gray Snake calmly retracted the pistol with smoke still coming out of the muzzle and slowly put it under the cover of his coat. His tone was still calm and muffled, without any surprise in his voice.

In fact, Gray Snake himself was very confused. But his super fast calculation speed allowed him to instantly determine that what he should do now is to prevent Raven from rescuing him.

He was a connoisseur and knew that the box in Lin Wei's hand was exactly the mechanism used to imprison the Ruler of Corrosion 50,000 years ago. Mei wanted to use it to forge a divine key.

But for fifty thousand years, it had never been successful, until the new era, when it was excavated from the dust and put away by fate along with all the treasures of the void, until five hundred years later, when it disappeared because of an impulsive girl.

Now, it appeared before his eyes again, but the information revealed in it was so complex that even the gray snake could not fully calculate it in a short time.

Is this person in front of me the resurrected Herrscher?

But he doesn't look like one at all. He looks like an ordinary human being, like an ant, everywhere, and worthless at first glance.

If it was the Herrscher who was resurrected using this body, he definitely wouldn't be so weak.

Even the Herrscher of Corrosion has an energy reaction that is unique to a Herrscher.

And he...

The gray snake glanced at Lin Wei calmly.

not at all……

"Pandora is a beautiful woman in Greek mythology. The king of gods ordered her to be made in the image of a god. The goddess of love and beauty dressed her up and gave her fragrance. The goddess of wisdom dressed her up and opened her wisdom. She is a gift from the gods to all mankind..."

Lin Wei looked at the small black box in his hand with blurry eyes, and sighed,

"But she has a magic box hidden in her body, which is full of disaster, destruction and death; this is the curse sent by the gods to mankind."

Lin Wei put away his emotion, raised his head again and looked directly at the gray snake with a smile,

“Fifty thousand years ago, humans opened Pandora’s box with their own hands, and then paid a heavy price to close it; five hundred years ago, a crack was opened again.”

"And now, I have completely locked it up for you, so that this gift can return to her most beautiful appearance."

"How is it? Does this story satisfy you? It also comes from 50,000 years ago, Mr. Gray Snake?"

“What a wonderful story!”

The gray snake clapped loudly, as if cheering for Lin Wei's heroic feat.

"That's easy for you to say. He's the Herrscher! You think you can defeat the Herrscher? Oh, it's just a matter of touching your lips. Who can't brag?"

When the leader is on the stage to support his opponent, his followers will jump out from the audience to sabotage his opponent.

The raven took on the role of "mouth substitute" at a very appropriate time.

Besides, she had been annoyed with Lin Wei for a long time, how dare she play tricks on her like this!

You're the one who offered your face to me to show off, don't blame me for being rude!

Lin Wei turned his head to look at the sarcastic Raven, suddenly smiled, stretched out his legs and tapped the ground, and his body and the seat under his buttocks retreated a distance under the reaction force, bringing both Gray Snake and Raven into his sight at the same time.

"Indeed, I am just a mortal. I am vulnerable in front of the Herrscher and Miss Raven. But that is the level of body and strength."

"Only in terms of willpower, the gap between her and me is not that big. So it's not surprising that I was able to defeat the Herrscher, right?"

After saying that, Lin Wei looked at Raven strangely.

"What, you can't do it?"

Then Lin Wei raised a finger, and an ominous black smoke appeared, quietly circling around the finger. Then Lin Wei slowly lowered his finger, and the black smoke obediently floated into the black box in the direction Lin Wei pointed. Lin Wei finally closed it with a "click", and then with a flash of black light, he took the box back into his body.

End of pretending.

Raven was so angry that he couldn't speak. What on earth was this?

"How is it, Mr. Gray Snake? Is the deal established or canceled?"

Lin Wei smiled again, showing his fangs, and threatened again.

"I have closed Pandora's box for you. But whether it is really closed forever or will be reopened depends on the choices you, the parties involved, make."

Don't force me to be the judge, because I am really qualified.

I am just an alien and lost traveler, not a human being of the new era of this world. I have never received the favor of the pioneers, so I don’t need to be tolerant of you.

Everything, just talk about the facts!

Gray Snake fell silent. He understood Lin Wei's threat. He could now fully unleash the power of the Corrosion Ruler and completely corrode the entire Gray Snake network, either destroying it or taking it for himself.

This time it was truly a threat of death, even more terrifying.

He began to understand that Lin Wei's previous behavior of interrupting his lines was really a mockery of him.

Then, Gray Snake also understood why Lin Wei knew him so well.

It is understandable that he would know some confidential information after being entangled with a Herrscher of the previous civilization, who is a relative of a member of the Poison Pupa and has survived to the end.

"Why, Mr. Gray Snake would hesitate? I'm just helping an old friend get through to Kevin on the phone. Is it so difficult for you?"

It allowed Gray Snake to have a more reasonable guess about the source of his information and put on a vest for himself. Lin Wei was very satisfied with the harvest of raking grass to catch rabbits.

He was 100% sure that even if Kevin was now sinking in the quantum sea and unable to return, the World Serpent, or the Gray Serpent, must have a way to communicate with him.

Not to mention that after the Eye of the Abyss was opened, Kevin successfully returned to the original world through another channel; if it was just communication, there would be too many means available.

Even Kevin himself can communicate with Siegfried through the quantum entanglement of Kaslana's stigmata!

Even the armed puppet based on Kevin, who is now guarding the Second God's Key, is quite suspicious.

It turned out that Kevin had realized Su's thoughts long ago and had made all the preparations in advance, leaving behind a hand to protect his only remaining old friend before self-exile;

Or after all this happened, contact the World Serpent in the Quantum Sea to prepare the materials, and then make it under your own command?

It’s hard to say, both are possible.

But no matter what, in the original plot, Gray Snake was too well prepared for Kevin's return, and the way they talked when they first met was too familiar.

This information is enough for him to blackmail Gray Snake.

At the beginning, Lin Wei also hesitated whether to make such a big move and directly confront Kevin?

Isn't it the same thing to control the gray snake and make him allow himself to enter the paradise of the afterlife?

But after weighing the pros and cons, Lin Wei decided to go big.

First of all, the gray snake is too gloomy and too dangerous.

Even if he abides by the spirit of the contract and will not break his promise easily, he is making a deal with the devil after all. Without Kevin to form a higher level of checks and balances on him, his situation will be very dangerous.

Secondly, the Gray Snake would never allow itself to bring the "Herringer of Corrosion" into the pure data space of the Paradise of the Past.

That's a rat entering the granary, pure luck.

The most important point is that Gray Snake does not understand the meaning of "the herr with humanity" itself.

Lin Wei analyzed the plot and he believed that Gray Snake knew about the existence of Alicia. After all, he himself was born in that era.

But the Gray Snake will not know the true identity of Alicia and what she represents.

Otherwise, the World Snake before Kevin's return would not have been so indifferent to the Herrscher.

Especially for Kiana who came to Sky City on her own initiative, it would be impossible to post her information on the Internet so casually, and it would be even more impossible to send the Herrscher of the Sky into the Jackal's laboratory so lightly.

Now, only Kevin, Sue and Grace who is far away know the significance of this.

As for Fu Hua, I had completely forgotten about her!

Even the Herrscher of Consciousness, who had recovered most of his memories, was still unaware of this.

Otherwise, with the great Lady of the Herrscher of Knowledge's outspoken way of speaking, she would have spread the news all over the world so that everyone would know!

Is it necessary to let Mei go to the paradise of the afterlife to compete with a bunch of riddlers?

Therefore, it is right to find Kevin, he is the universal solution.

"Convey a few words to Mr. Kevin for me: 1. Ling is still alive, and her consciousness is still alive. 2. Ling wants to enter the paradise of the afterlife to reunite with her sister. 3. Ling is with me now, so you can ask him to make a decision after the interview. Mr. Gray Snake only needs to accurately convey these words to Mr. Kevin, and our transaction will be successfully completed. As for whether to approve it or not, your Lord will make the decision after he sees me."

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, but decided to put aside the matter of Xier for the time being.

Don't add unnecessary details. Just wait a little longer. When Kevin shows up, you can naturally make a request to him.

Lin Wei believed that, considering Kevin's state of mind where he would sink into the sea and dream of Sakura and Ling, her conditions were enough to impress him.

What's more, there is such a big news as "Ling's consciousness", which is even more significant.

That was the Herrscher who was born before Alicia sacrificed herself!

I just need to find the right way to get the message to him smoothly, and then I will win this game.

"In that case, the deal is done."

Gray Snake weighed the pros and cons and made his decision in a muffled voice.

There was not even the slightest hesitation in Gray Snake's heart. He firmly believed that no one in the world could stop the Lord's will.

Since Lin Wei insists on having a dialogue with the Lord, everything should be left to the Lord to decide personally.

The mechanical prosthetic eye under the mask flashed red, and then fell into silent waiting.

Feeling the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lin Wei turned to look at Raven, who had just finished wiping his wine glass and was doing nothing.

"Miss Raven, can you do me a favor?"

Raven glanced at Lin Wei playfully and asked, "How dare you ask me for help?"

"Private commission? Extra charge."

The official tone was quite cold, even a little disgusted.

"Just a little thing..."

Lin Wei smiled helplessly, this woman is too narrow-minded.

If Raven hadn't kidnapped me in such a brutal way that I was unprepared, there would be no need for me to be so humble.

Lin Wei complained in his heart, then told the hooded girl who folded her arms and prepared to laugh at him what he needed.

When the raven heard this, he curled his lips and said, "How boring! It's really a trivial matter."

If I use this to get angry with him, wouldn't it seem like I'm too petty?

This guy……

Raven glared at him, memorized his appearance, then bent down, opened the cabinet and began to search.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the gray snake. At the same time, the raven beside him dropped the work at hand and stood behind the counter seriously.

The gray snake slowly stood up, left the sofa, and bowed towards the empty hall. Surprisingly, he did not utter any words of flattery. He just raised his head, and his artificial eye emitted a red light, shining on the open space not far away.

A holographic projection appeared there, and the image was the back of a white-haired man. The back was as cold as ice and as heavy as Mount Tai. Just standing there quietly, it shocked the people who saw it.

Is this Kevin?

Out of politeness, Lin Wei also stood up, just looking at the figure in front of him with curiosity and shock.

Knock on the wall behind you.

"Wife, come out and see the Savior!"

The inner drama begins again.

The man didn't do it on purpose, he was just used to it.

Realizing that the communication had been established, he slowly turned around, completely passing over the gray snake and the raven, and his eagle-like sharp eyes fell directly on Lin Wei. That gaze that came from across dimensions seemed to carry a thousand pounds of power, and Lin Wei couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

Kevin glanced at Lin Wei and shook his head.

"You are not a Herrscher."

The tone was cold and indifferent, sounding a little disappointed, but also a little emotional.

Then he gathered his thoughts and stared at Lin Wei, his voice was cold, calm, yet powerful.

"Tell me the purpose of your visit, visitor."

"Then tell me, are you a friend or an enemy."

Chapter 42: Friend or Foe

"Tell me, are you a friend or an enemy?"

God knows what an honor it is to be asked such a question by Kevin!
