Chapter 98 The Truth of the Beginning
Fang Senyan smiled, not at all surprised, after hearing Zi's words. He looked at Zi with a subtle gaze and said, "You are truly a proud and arrogant fellow, actually waiting until the very end to bring this matter up."
Zi rolled her eyes at him but said nothing.
Fang Senyan calculated for a moment and said, "In the last world, we accepted Yao Meng's commission to come and save you, so we saved you twice. You don't owe us any favors for that, and with your help, we also gained a lot of benefits. Both sides are basically even, and strictly speaking, we were the ones who benefited more."
Zi snorted coldly but didn't speak.
Fang Senyan continued, "It's just that in the end, you took two pieces of green-grade equipment from me, but you also merged the Lightbringer Society, this large team, into ours. Are two pieces of green-grade equipment worth a large team? This question is difficult to answer clearly, it's a matter of opinion, and it depends on the buyer's needs. In critical moments, the value of even a single bottle of honor potion can be worth ten pieces of dark gold equipment! Hmm, but in your opinion, you still owed me a big favor, so you gave me the secret to becoming the strongest MT. And only after feeling that neither side owed the other anything, did you bring up the matter of leaving the team?"
Zi, having sat down, inadvertently outlined the curves of her waist and hips, as her slightly snug dress emphasized her figure. Fang Senyan's gaze lingered on Zi's Gucci shoes, the exquisite craftsmanship perfectly presenting the shape of her slender feet, and then the smooth, dense black stockings highlighted her long, straight thighs, making them quite alluring.
Zi clearly noticed Fang Senyan's aggressive gaze and immediately pulled her legs back uncomfortably, angrily saying, "What are you looking at?"
Fang Senyan laughed heartily, thinking to himself, *You dare to show it off, but I can't dare to look?* He changed the subject, saying, "Leaving the team, is it? Fine, I can't cancel the contract yet. We can do it when we get back to the space."
Zi visibly paused, saying, "You agreed?"
Fang Senyan said very seriously, "Of course."
This time, it was Zi who became less calm. A look of surprise and suspicion appeared in her phoenix eyes. "You didn't even ask for the reason?"
Fang Senyan laughed loudly and said, "Since I already know the reason, then why should I ask?"
Zi curled her lip, obviously unconvinced, and said, "That's good then."
Fang Senyan crossed his arms in front of his chest and said lazily on the reclining chair, "Then, it seems we can talk about the contents of your soul equipment? Hmm, based on the power you've shown, it must be a mission that you can't handle, so I'm guessing it limits the number of completions and the number of people involved, hmm… Could it be that the completion process requires someone to charge through a machine gun array?"
Zi looked at Fang Senyan with some surprise, picked up the phone next to her, and said a few words. After a while, Miss Annette brought over a file bag, curiously stared at Fang Senyan a few times, and then left.
Zi picked up the file bag. "The mission given by this soul equipment is very simple, but quite a headache. It requires me to inject the power of memory into this pen. We found some clues from this pen, and after a series of investigations, we determined that the most likely former owner of this pen is: Mr. Sean Haim of Devon. He first served in the Royal Navy, then went to India, and was wounded in the spine by a stray bullet, so he received a high pension of eighty-seven thousand pounds and retired. Although it's very ordinary and mundane, that's his story. But, here's the key point, he's alive and still very happy."
Fang Senyan said in surprise, "How is that possible?"
Soul equipment is the owner's relic, and the meaning of a relic is of course that the owner is already dead. Otherwise, what resentment and obsession would there be? Once someone dies in the Nightmare Space, then in the real world, the body will immediately die in a normal way... this is the iron law of the Space.
But now Fang Senyan was hearing an unbelievable thing: the owner of a living soul equipment!
"Could it be!" Fang Senyan suddenly thought of an incredibly shocking fact, and this idea immediately stunned him! He had picked up a cup of coffee to drink, but because of the shock of this idea, he forgot to drink it. The expensive and scalding hand-ground coffee was all spilled on him, but Fang Senyan... was completely unaware.
You must know that Fang Senyan is definitely a very calm person, even when facing the teams led by two major MTs, he could always maintain composure and calmness, but who knew what kind of idea would cause him to lose his composure so much!
Zi saw Fang Senyan's gaffe and finally smiled. It seemed that being able to make Fang Senyan look bad once was quite happy for her. Her smile was very rare, but when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were a little curved, with an indescribable charm, as if she could stir people's hearts.
Miss Annette in the distance was even more surprised, she had never seen Zi smile so happily before.
Fang Senyan, ignoring the coffee dripping down his body, frowned and said, "The significance behind this matter is too great. No, tell me the address, I must personally confirm it."
There was even more smugness in Zi's smile. "No need, I have another piece of news to tell you."
Fang Senyan looked at Zi's smile, feeling a kind of itchy hatred, but he could only calm down and say, "Speak."
"That was when I first met Zeus and Cybelle. When I was chatting with them, I inadvertently heard them discussing the winners of that year's Academy Awards, and it turned out to be a film I had never heard of. I felt very curious and asked them some questions, and immediately realized that the real world they lived in was roughly the same as the world we live in, but there were many differences."
A look of recollection appeared in Zi's eyes.
"In their world, the victors of World War II were the Americans and the Allied forces. In their world, the United States actually had its first black president. In their world, China had completely incorporated Hong Kong into its territory. In their world, the Olympic Games were held every four years. In their world, the most famous bestselling author was not juan tu..."
Fang Senyan was silent for a while and said, "Anything else?"
Zi continued, "And Yao Meng told me that the history of her world was also similar. The world she lived in was different from the history of our world, and also different from the history of Zeus's world..."
After a long silence, Fang Senyan's eyes finally narrowed. "I understand, Zi, in that case, many things can be connected together. I have to carefully analyze the impact of this information on me. So, shall we continue to talk about the Memory Pen?"
Zi smiled and said, "Of course, you should understand now, right? The Memory Pen should have been left behind by someone from another parallel world. This Mr. Sean Haim successfully became a Contractor in that parallel world, but unfortunately died inside. So the Sean Haim in our world can be safe and sound, but he is also destined to be a mediocre person."
At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly thought of another thing: "That is to say, there is also a me in the other parallel spaces?"
Zi shook her head and said, "No, according to my investigation, anyone with relatively strong talents is unique. Or do you think your talent ability is very weak?"
Fang Senyan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Okay, then let's continue to return to the task of the soul equipment?"
Zi nodded and said, "According to my investigation and analysis, since we can't find the original owner Sean Haim in reality, then we can only use the blood of Mr. Sean Haim in this world to activate the resentment on the equipment. Don't look at me with that stupid look in your eyes, it only needs a little blood, not a person's life. Then, I am likely to experience a trial, a trial that only allows me to bring one helper. Hmm, because you are the only MT I can find now, although you are very weak, but I can't help it, I can only make do."
"Hey, hey, hey." Fang Senyan said very depressedly, "Your last few words are not pleasing to the ear, is this the attitude of someone asking for help?"
Zi said innocently, "Aren't you a Tier 1 Contractor?"
These words immediately touched the sore spot in Fang Senyan's heart. He said unhappily, "If you mention this matter again, then I swear that even if I accompany you to the mission, I will definitely only be a hindrance."
Zi smiled, waved her hand, and the servants standing in the distance naturally stepped forward in an orderly manner and began to set up a sumptuous dinner...
There is no need to say more about what happened next. After Fang Senyan and Zi entered the illusion created by the soul equipment, they passed the test without spending too much effort. At this time, Fang Senyan also roughly understood some of Zi's information, knowing that she was a director of the world-renowned E.S. Group, and her financial resources and power were astonishingly strong.
Next, he stayed in the villa built by Zi for cultivation, and found that the effect of training intelligence and mental strength here was almost comparable to that of the Space. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return to Taiwan, and decided to strengthen these two weaker attributes of his first.
When the notification came and he entered the Nightmare Space again. Fang Senyan and the other three met in the Space. Just as Fang Senyan was preparing to pass Zi's application to leave the team, Hei Ge walked over and said to Fang Senyan and the other two in a deliberately relaxed manner, "Boss, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight alongside you in this world."
