Yang Shuo's mind was now blank. He vaguely remembered using the healing technique to exhaust his physical strength and then fainting directly on the ground.
It would not be long before Yang Shuo was discovered. At that time, he would be discovered and executed directly.
It was just a pity...
There was no one to take care of Nono anymore.
With these complicated emotions, Yang Shuo had a dream in a daze. He dreamed of the person who signed the contract with him that day, whose face could not be seen clearly. He could only vaguely see that there were many terrifying and ferocious existences around the other party.
Those monsters looked different, but their aura was very terrifying. It was like the sea, and there was no way to determine their depth.
Yang Shuo swore that he was not dreaming because he could still remember everything he had experienced. After that, the other party opened his mouth and said something that made Yang Shuo's pupils shrink. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
The other party only said one sentence, and that was, "Do you want to become the master of this land?"
Yang Shuo's dream in the past was to live a good life, eat a full meal, and then accompany Nono by his side and not let him suffer any humiliation.
It would be a lie to say that Yang Shuo had no ambition. In this land, who did not want to be stronger? After all, only by being strong could one protect the people and things one wanted to protect.
However, at that time, Yang Shuo wanted to become a professional at best. After obtaining the healing technique and having the ability of a professional, his mind slowly began to change.
Even Yang Shuo did not know why he came here to attack the two kings. Perhaps it was because he had the foundation after the healing technique, or perhaps it was because the long-term suppression finally broke out, allowing him to temporarily forget his fear and come to this completely unfamiliar land.
Yang Shuo found that his thoughts had changed. Originally, he thought that as long as there was food, everything would be fine. As he was constantly bullied, he felt that it was safer to become a professional.
But now...
The two kings who used to dominate the slums were killed by him because of a sneak attack. One must know that the other party had bragged that they had once worked together to kill a professional.
Professionals were different from ordinary people. Even so, they were still killed by thugs like the two kings.
Did the black-clothed man in the dream ask him if he wanted to become stronger? At that time, in order to save Nono, Yang Shuo was naturally willing to speak loudly in order to obtain power.
The other party hadn't lied to him. After that, he had indeed gained unimaginable power and became a true professional in one fell swoop. He even had the ability to cure the zombie poison. Now, the other party had appeared again and asked him if he wanted to become the ruler of Devil Town.
What did this mean?
As long as he agreed, he could really become the leader of this place. At that time, no one would be able to bully him anymore. Everyone, even those who were superior to the upper echelons of this area, would have to live under his nose.
More importantly, Nono no longer had to worry about being afraid. He no longer had to eat moldy and smelly food. He could also live happily here like a little princess like the children in the city.
With that thought in mind, Yang Shuo no longer hesitated. He mustered his courage and stared at the blurry shadow before him. "I'm willing, but … what can I give you? I've given you everything, including my soul."
"Haha …"
The shadow suddenly laughed coldly. His voice seemed to be full of mockery towards Yang Shuo's fear. "What are you thinking? That's right, just like you said, you have nothing now. Even your soul belongs to me. Why are you still acting like you're in a difficult position? "
"You have to know that I'm the one who gave you everything. Everything you have now, even if you succeed in your revenge, is half of the effect of the healing spell. If it weren't for the healing spell that couldn't heal the injury to your ribs, you would be lying on the ground right now, slowly dying with your enemies."
Yang Shuo tried to think of a way to get some information out of the other party. However, it was obvious that the powerful existence didn't take Yang Shuo seriously. He just exposed the other party's idea in an instant.
Thinking of this, Yang Shuo hurriedly lowered his head and blamed himself for being too rash. This was an opportunity that he had obtained with great difficulty. If he let it slip away from his hands because of his big mouth, he would really cry without tears. He wouldn't have any chance to become stronger.
The shadow continued, "However, since you've asked, I can tell you some of my ultimate goals. You only have one goal, and that is to help me kill the Great Commander of Devil Town!"
"Great Commander …"
Yang Shuo seemed to have heard something out of a fantasy story. He quickly shook his head out of instinct. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
The other party actually wanted him to kill the Great Commander. How was that possible?
Who was the Great Commander? The other party had single-handedly established Devil Town. It could be said that in this town, the Great Commander was the most respected existence. Even the people in the slums, who lived very hard lives, were endlessly grateful to the Great Commander.
If the Great Commander hadn't been fighting at the frontlines against the enemy and established this stronghold in such a terrifying wasteland, people like Yang Shuo who lived in the slums would have long been drowned by zombies or insects.
Even if they weren't killed immediately, they would still be targeted by terrifying creatures if they escaped to the outside world. When that time came, death might be a luxury.
Although the Great Commander didn't care too much about the people at the bottom of society, every once in a while, he would still send them things of concern. For example, the pair of blankets that Nuo Nuo used to keep out the cold was personally given to each household by the Great Commander.
Yang Shuo still didn't know much about the Great Commander, but his various experiences were closely related to the other party.
Whether it was for public or personal reasons, Yang Shuo couldn't betray the Great Commander so easily. However, just as Yang Shuo was hesitating, a series of familiar voices appeared beside him.
"What? You don't want to? You have to know that you're lucky to have met me. If you relied on your own strength, even if you could get a bite to eat in Devil Town, it would be a very small portion. "
"Without me … you're nothing. What this world lacks the most is kind people. Those who have lost their humanity make up 60% of the human population."
"If you reject me, I won't disturb you in the future. As for the healing technique you learned, I'll give it to you as a reward."
"If you accept it, then it means that we've reached a preliminary consensus. My goal is to become the leader of this place, which is also the Great Commander you all call. This place is finished, and there's no hope left."
"As the Great Commander, the other party's plan is good, but their methods are not strong enough. If you become the master of this place, how will you punish those monsters that wreak havoc outside the city walls, or those criminals that roam the slums? You can only watch as those people destroy everything around you. As a man, as a man who is now called a Professional, right now … do you really not know what you want?"
