Chapter 516 Herzog: I have been wandering for half my life, and I have never met my master. If I never give up...
Herzog had already lost all hope.
Dragon King Odin abandoned him, and the cards he had accumulated over the years were not enough to protect him. Now he had fallen into the hands of his enemies. Looking at Ling's eyes, he knew that this little girl would never let him go.
However, the moment he saw Su Mo, a bold idea came to his mind.
His strong desire to survive made him keenly aware that even if he fell into the hands of the enemy, the person who could really determine his fate was not Ling, but Ling's immediate boss, Dragon King Su Mo.
Since he is not Zero who has an enmity with him, there is still room for negotiation.
Dragon King Odin doesn't care about his value, but Dragon King Su Mo might care!
It doesn't matter who you work for. Compared with Odin who completely uses himself as a tool, Su Mo, the Dragon King who may not know the details of the plan, may be easier to deceive.
And just when he was thinking about it and was about to speak a word to transform himself from a prisoner to a guest of Dragon King Su Mo, Su Mo spoke.
"How come this guy isn't dead yet?"
He glanced at Herzog casually, and almost scared him to death as soon as he spoke.
Damn it, is this Dragon King so murderous?!
When she saw Su Mo coming back, Zero's eyes brightened slightly, but she didn't do anything. She just put aside her biggest enemy and answered Su Mo's questions in her usual calm tone.
"For the sins he committed, the punishment of death is too light."
Not to mention the nurses and children who were burned alive in Black Swan Port, nor the ordinary people and mixed-races who have been harmed by him in the past twenty years, let's just discuss the serial disappearance of girls that she and Su Mo investigated before.
There is no chance of letting go of this evil heretic easily.
Villains also need style. Compared with this real scumbag, Lu Mingze, a little devil, can be considered a good person.
"indeed."
Su Mo nodded with sympathy. For him who knew the development of the original work, Herzog was especially unforgivable.
Seeing that the two of them had such unanimous opinions, Herzog was completely panicked. If he allowed the two of them to discuss it any longer, he felt like he was going to be chopped into pieces.
So he hurriedly spoke.
"Your Majesty Su Mo, please wait a moment! I can help you. I have many secrets about the White King. Both the Fierce Ghosts and I can be used by you!"
At a critical moment of life and death, he didn't dare to show off any more and directly showed his value.
He believed that no matter how much Ling wanted to kill him, as long as Su Mo, as the Dragon King, was moved by his interests, he could survive safely.
This world is, after all, a world where interests come first, and mere hatred is not worth mentioning in the face of interests.
And Zero is just a chess piece, and there is no way he can disobey Su Mo, who is the Dragon King.
"Oh? What's the secret? Tell me!"
Su Mo said casually.
Sure enough, this trick works!
Although his tone sounded cold and he was just asking casually, since he was willing to ask casually, it meant that he was still very interested in King Bai's secret.
Otherwise, it’s impossible to just play cat and mouse with yourself, right?
While he was so excited, Herzog didn't bother to think about why Ling beside him was not anxious at all, as if he was sure that he would never survive. His mind was entirely focused on Su Mo, and his brain was also alive.
"Excuse me, what does Your Majesty Su Mo know about King Bai?"
He asked boldly.
Although he shouldn't say this at this time, it is very important for his greed.
After hearing Herzog's words, Su Mo showed an unhappy expression.
"That's all you want to say?"
Obviously, he didn't have the patience to listen to himself.
Noticing this, Herzog's heart sank and he quickly wanted to make amends. At this time, Su Mo added casually.
"King Bai died before the four great monarchs were born. If I knew his information, would I still need you?"
After hearing this, Herzog knelt down quickly to apologize, but a burst of ecstasy broke out in his heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he immediately spoke.
"You should know that Odin regards me as a chess piece. I know the core of his plan and how to resurrect the White King. However, an existence of the White King's level is not so easy to surrender. If you need his power, I am willing to
The fierce ghosts are offered as sacrifices to provide you with the strongest power. As long as you can block the Dragon King Odin, I will give you the remaining power of the White King, the Yamata no Orochi!"
This down-and-out careerist lowered his head deeply, with a faint golden light shining in his eyes.
It seems that he is expressing his obedience, but in fact he is hiding his ambition.
After telling him his plan, he waited anxiously for Su Mo's answer. Even for a person like him who was accustomed to taking risks, this gamble was a bit too exciting.
But he had arranged it for twenty years and asked him to stop here and kneel down to be the Dragon King's dog, but he couldn't do it.
After a few seconds of silence, Dragon King Su Mo's voice came.
"Sounds pretty good."
is the affirmative answer.
Herzog was immediately overjoyed. Sure enough, his idea was right. As long as he was still valuable, no one would be willing to kill him.
Depending on King Bai, maybe he can still gain a higher status than zero in Su Mo's heart.
"Thank you so much for your trust, Su Mo Mian! I have been wandering for half my life, and finally met a wise master like you! In order to repay your kindness, I am willing to become the sacrifice of King Bai to help you gain strength!"
He lowered his head into the dust, grinning almost to the base of his ears.
He believed it, he believed it!
While he was in ecstasy, Su Mo's voice came again.
"Use me to stop Odin, and then you will control the fierce ghosts to complete your plan. Finally, in the name of sacrifice, you will pour King White's golden holy liquid into your body and become the third dragon king at the level of the divine domain... You must not
Needless to say, you have made a good calculation and have not forgotten your ambition at this time!"
Su Mo looked at Herzog in front of him with strange eyes, and there was some amazement in his tone.
There are not many people who can interpret the word greed so vividly.
Herzog can be said to be the first person on this path.
"What——?! Your Majesty Su Mo! You?!"
After hearing Su Mo's words, Herzog didn't bother to hide himself. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Mo with a frightened expression. His body trembled completely, as if he was sifting through chaff.
He made a wrong bet! This recently resurrected Dragon King actually knows everything!
"With your IQ, you can't even fool Odin. How do you think you can hide it from me?"
Su Mo shook his head and sighed casually.
Although Herzog was able to lay out such a shocking conspiracy, it was all the inspiration provided by Odin. He was only very strong in execution and had a non-stop desire. His main focus was on first-hand information.
After hearing Su Mo's evaluation, Herzog was completely disappointed.
He only knew that Su Mo understood that he was a puppet, but he didn't expect that Su Mo even knew his script clearly. In this case, he had no room to resist.
What's going on? Could it be that what he thought was a brilliant plan was just a clown performance on the stage in the eyes of these dragon kings?
No matter how hard he dances, he is just an actor in the eyes of the gods?
Suddenly, he realized that he didn't seem to understand what a real dragon was. In front of the real dragon king, humans could only fail miserably.
However, he still did not give up trying to survive.
"Your Majesty Su Mo, I also know the location of Odin! I also know the location of the White King's remains! I also know the role of Uesugoshi! I can perform meritorious service for you, and I can also help you deal with Odin. Don't kill me, I will also
it works!"
His biggest trump card has lost its effect, and even he can only list out the things he thinks are valuable in a panic.
However, Su Mo was not interested in this information about him.
"Odin won't tell you the true location. The White King's remains are in the Akari River. Uesugoshi is a sacrifice to replace Eriki, and you are a waste... What else can you say?"
A series of smooth answers left Herzog completely speechless.
How come you know everything?
No matter how strong his desire for survival is, no matter how much he thinks that profit is the eternal value, he has to admit that to Su Mo, he is really a complete waste, and his so-called value is nothing to Su Mo.
significance.
Seeing Herzog's speechless expression, the girl beside her couldn't help but feel shocked and relieved.
In Fengjian Liuli's memory, he had never seen Herzog look like this. Wasn't he always very talkative? How could he be so dumb when facing Su Mo?
Even Zero's always cold eyes showed a little smile.
She knew that Herzog was no match for Su Mo in terms of eloquence. One was the Dragon King's puppet, and the other almost turned the Dragon King into a puppet. The two were not in the same rank at all.
"Dr. Herzog, you have nothing to say now?"
She followed Su Mo expressionlessly in pursuit.
Hearing Zero's sarcasm, Herzog became unhappy.
Dragon King Su Mo had the right to laugh at himself, who are you, a cold-faced lolita? You won't survive anyway, so he had no scruples and sneered.
"Even if I die, it's just because the benefits are not enough. The world is like this. Only by eating everyone's corpses can you climb to the highest level. You are alive now only because you are still valuable. When will you eat it?
You gain the most, do you think you can escape?"
Hearing this ghoul theory, Zero showed disgust.
Herzog does believe in this theory, and he has indeed devoured the value of many people over the years, so he can reach his current status.
Zero was not interested in his disgusting theory, but she still had something to refute.
"As long as I am useful, I will not be abandoned, so I just need to stay useful!"
When she said this, she glanced at Su Mo subconsciously.
These words are what Lu Mingze once taught her, and they are also the creed of her actions over the years.
If you have no use value and will be abandoned, then just try to maintain the use value. That's why she used to have a life-threatening style of play. That's why she easily accepted the Nibelungen plan and became an emperor-level hybrid.
kind.
——She doesn’t want to be abandoned.
"..."
These words also made Herzog lose his mind.
His original intention was to let her know that she was no different from him and that she was just food for Dragon King Su Mo before he died.
But who knew that Zero would actually say such a thing.
It was as if he was saying, "The oxen have to be killed for meat after plowing the fields. They are no different from pigs. Don't you hate your master?" Zero retorted, "Then I will work hard to exercise.
I can cultivate the land so that my master will not abandon me too soon."
What kind of motherly thinking are you thinking? You look like you are going to devote your whole life to Dragon King Su Mo... Where is your bloody nature? Is being abandoned more worthy of fear than death?
Naturally, Herzog couldn't understand Zero's feelings.
Su Mo came directly behind her, pressed his hands on both sides of Ling's shoulders, and then mercilessly stretched out his hands to knead her ice-like face.
"To correct you, we welcome even useless zero mothers. Even if you lose all your strength, we will never abandon you. The worst treatment is three meals a day plus patting, feeding and love. How about it, do you want to become one?
My child?”
Rarely, Su Mo also extended an olive branch to Ling.
Although poaching is indeed not a good thing, Ling seems to have something on her mind recently. She can't find out if she doesn't tell Su Mo, so she can only solve the problem at the root.
If you dig her here, wouldn't it mean that you have to answer whatever you want to ask?
After hearing Su Mo's words, Zero was silent for a few seconds with complicated eyes.
"How are you? Are you excited? As long as you are willing, I will solve the rest of the problems."
Su Mo said this.
In response to this, Zero shook his head silently, and then complained sharply.
"Three meals a day plus patting and loving care... This is the treatment of pets, right?"
Did this guy think she didn't see it?
How could she almost forget that Su Mo seemed to have no less bad taste than Xia Mi, but he was usually more restrained.
Faced with Ling's complaints, Su Mo nodded in acknowledgment.
"Yes! What a great pet. You don't have to do anything, just be cute! By the way, you can also work part-time as a mascot and a maid. Except for the occasional use by Xia Mi as a doll, there is basically no big problem.
.”
"..."
No, no, no, this alone is a big problem!
Ling was speechless for a moment.
Not everyone can control Xia Mi, a female dragon.
"And when you are unhappy, you can tell me and I will ask Xia Mi to restrain himself."
Su Mo casually added something that was not very convincing. If Xia Mi could restrain himself, would he still be called Xia Mi?
On the side, after listening to what the two said, although he didn't understand much, Herzog still mocked.
"Look, worthless people can only be treated as pets!"
"——!"
Hearing this, Su Mo didn't react at all, but Ling glared at him with very fierce eyes.
What's wrong with you?
As long as they are not abandoned, what about pets?
With this thought in her mind, she just said coldly.
"Shut up!"
"Snapped!"
The girl on the side stepped on his head with a look, and accidentally broke his teeth with too much force, causing Herzog to stop talking with his mouth bleeding.
Listening to Herzog's wailing, Su Mo and Ling both had very calm expressions.
"Killing him like this is indeed cheaper for him, but wouldn't it be cheaper for him not to kill him?"
Su Mo opened his mouth and said.
"After settling your account, Eriyi's account and other people's accounts, send him on his way, and dig up some information that we may not know...but I'm not good at torture. Do you have any recommendations?
?”
It was not advisable to let Herzog go easily, and it was also not advisable to torture him all the time, or not to eradicate the root cause. Su Mo decided to do both.
Let him feel the pain before ending his life.
After hearing Su Mo's question, Ling thought for a while and said.
"Su Enxi knows a lot of torture techniques. She can break bones without harming lives. She also has enough professional people under her command."
Although this Black Gold Swan appears to them as a good girl and a literary young woman, in fact, her combat power is not much weaker than that of an ordinary A-level. The word "black" of the Black Gold Swan is not a name for nothing.
Although Zero has a grudge against Herzog, he has no interest in torturing people.
"Su Enxi..."
Su Mo nodded, and when he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, wouldn't it be better if he handed it over directly to Lu Mingze? With his hatred for Herzog, it is estimated that killing him a thousand times would not be enough."
If it were left to Su Enxi, she would only complete the task step by step. At most, she would have the idea of revengeing Zero. After all, she would be separated by a layer.
But Lu Mingze was different. After being manipulated by Herzog as a test subject for so long, the little devil's hatred could be said to be the deepest among all the people.
Handing Herzog to him is tantamount to sending him to the eighteenth level of purgatory, and this is the ending that is most suitable for Herzog.
By the way, I can also take this opportunity to ask Lu Mingze about Zero.
"good."
After thinking about it, Ling agreed to Su Mo's proposal.
When it comes to revenge, Lu Mingze is better at it.
Switching positions, for Herzog, there is probably nothing more terrifying than becoming Lu Mingze's experimental subject.
If Herzog knew what he missed back then, I'm afraid Lu Mingze wouldn't need to be tortured, and he would regret it so much that he would want to strangle himself.
For him, there was probably nothing more despairing than missing the throne of God.
However, when Lu Mingze was plotting against Su Mo behind his back, Su Mo actually wanted to help him take revenge... Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but feel even more partial.
In a few words, they decided Herzog's fate, but Herzog did not say any effective objection.
Subsequently, Su Mo opened the space channel and sent the young girl back to Genji Heavy Industries.
After closing the passage to Genji Heavy Industries, he opened two more space passages, one leading to the Blackstone Mansion and the other leading to Zero's room in the Hybrid Alliance.
This time is the time when she will inspect the alliance as the leader of the mixed-race alliance.
But before the two of them split up.
"Su Mo——"
"And one more thing--"
They both spoke at the same time, both having something to say.
"You go first!"
Su Mo opened his mouth and said.
"Um!"
Zero was not polite to Su Mo. He took out the SD card he had saved before from his pocket and put it into Su Mo's palm.
After hesitating for a moment, she said.
"Keep it secret. Don't let anyone know. It can only be used at critical times."
She was not betraying Lu Mingze, she just didn't want Su Mo to be attacked by Lu Mingze unprepared... She originally wanted to deceive herself like this, but she failed. She knew exactly what she was doing.
"Um!"
Su Mo nodded and took it seriously.
Although he didn't know what was inside, since Zero was so serious, he should take it seriously.
After seeing him put it away, Ling looked at him quietly, waiting for Su Mo's words.
The next second, Su Mo's palm pressed on her head, and her light golden hair was as smooth as satin.
Zero had no reaction to this action, and just let Su Mo touch her head. After a few seconds, she tilted her head, as if asking Su Mo what he wanted to say.
Seeing how cute she looked, Su Mo stopped what he was doing and spoke slowly.
"You know, people can't truly understand each other. What each of us sees in the other person's eyes is actually a reflection of ourselves."
People can only empathize with their own feelings to infer the feelings of others, and can never know the true thoughts of others.
Others are hell.
Ling nodded, then shook her head. She understood what Su Mo meant, but she didn't understand why he suddenly said this.
"So, if you have a good relationship with a person, it is equivalent to projecting yourself on him, and abandoning him is equivalent to killing a part of yourself."
Su Mo continued.
The reason why a middle-aged man who has lost his parents feels at a loss is not only because he has lost his father's love and mother's love, but also because he has lost that part of himself as a child.
Human beings are the sum of all social relationships. Human inner self and external social relationships are inseparable.
Hearing this, the light in Ling's pupils flashed slightly, and she knew what Su Mo wanted to say.
"I won't kill myself."
Su Mo lowered his head seriously and looked into the eyes of the Sanwu girl.
"So, I won't abandon anyone, you don't have to worry."
He was keenly aware of what Zero was concerned about and recalled her previous state, so he went out of his way to comfort her.
After a long silence, Zero lowered his head and nodded.
"……Um!"
She believed in Su Mo and always wanted to believe in Su Mo.
But, is she really worthy of Su Mo's trust?
Thinking of Lu Mingze's mission, she clenched her hands involuntarily and made deep marks in her palms.
