Chapter 1075: Chapter 1074: Why Did You Choose Death?
The truck kept going until it crashed into the warehouse on the side and finally stopped. Fang Zheng quickly led the other girls to the front of the truck. At this moment, the truck’s cab was completely destroyed, and even the cargo box behind had scattered open, revealing its contents.
Was it a large container?
"How is it, Kurumi?"
"Unfortunately, it seems he’s already dead."
Upon hearing Fang Zheng’s inquiry, Kurumi glanced into the driver’s seat, only to see a long-haired man dressed in worker’s attire leaning against the driver’s seat, his face and head covered in blood. Judging by his appearance, he was clearly gone.
"What a tragedy, but nothing can be done. Unsafe driving leads to tears for loved ones... Anyway, let’s leave this to the police and go."
As Fang Zheng spoke, he gestured to everyone, but at this moment, Black Cat turned her gaze to the large container inside the cargo box.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, that thing... seems a bit odd?"
"Yes, it doesn’t look like ordinary cargo. I wonder what it is..."
Eiriri moved forward curiously to examine the strange container closely.
Just then, the devices around the sealed container suddenly started moving, followed by a ’pop’ as the top of the cylindrical container opened!
"Whoa!"
Seeing this, everyone stepped back a few paces, and then they saw a figure slowly emerge from inside, suddenly straightening up and ’thump’ falling to the ground like a fish jumping out of water.
"Wait, this is a person!"
Seeing the girl before her, Asuna exclaimed and hurried to check, but Eiriri quickly grabbed her.
"Wait, why are you rushing? We don’t even know who she is... Look at her, she’s still wearing a restraint suit and was inside such a strange container. Don’t you think this woman is odd?"
"Eiriri is right."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded and then walked to the girl’s side to observe her carefully. From her appearance, she seemed to be an ordinary girl with a good-looking face and long green hair, dressed in a white restraint suit like those used for psychiatric patients.
Her hands and feet were restrained, her mouth and nose covered, seeming tightly secured.
Fang Zheng picked up a personal terminal and scanned the girl.
"Hmm... No threat, at least for now. She doesn’t appear to carry any viruses or seem particularly dangerous."
With that, Fang Zheng squatted down and untied the restraining straps on the girl.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Surprisingly, the girl didn’t respond to Fang Zheng’s question, just stared at him blankly. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Fang Zheng’s wrist.
"?"
Seeing the girl’s action, Fang Zheng was startled, but at that moment, a completely different scene and voice appeared in his mind.
"Finally found..."
"This voice..."
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the girl in front of him.
"Is it you?"
"Yes, this is a contract... I will grant you power. In exchange, you need to fulfill one of my wishes..."
"Power? That’s interesting."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng smirked a little. He didn’t expect to come to check out the commotion and encounter such good fortune; it seemed his luck was holding out well recently, maybe time for a ten-draw?
I have a feeling this time I’ll draw something good!
"Forget the power; why don’t you tell me your wish? If I can, I’d certainly help you fulfill it."
"......"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s reply, the girl widened her eyes in surprise, unable to speak for a moment. She apparently hadn’t grasped Fang Zheng’s mindset—he wasn’t concerned about power; instead, he cared about her wish?
"... I want to die."
"What? That simple?"
Hearing the girl’s response, Fang Zheng nodded.
"Don’t worry. I can help you fulfill your wish."
"So, it’s settled."
Listening to Fang Zheng’s reply, a sly smile appeared at the corner of the girl’s mouth.
"Since that’s the case, the contract... is established..."
With the girl’s words, suddenly a completely different vision appeared in Fang Zheng’s mind, as if two entirely separate worlds interwove, sharing similarities, and... encompassing all of the cosmos and life.
"What are you doing?!"
Just as Fang Zheng came to his senses, a loud shout suddenly rang out. He turned, noticing several fully armed soldiers had appeared outside the warehouse, led by someone who seemed like an officer, pointing a gun at them.
"Ah, soldiers, great."
Seeing the soldiers, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and Asuna hurriedly stepped forward.
"We found an injured person in this truck..."
"Don’t move!"
Before Asuna could finish, the soldier yelled, raising his gun at her.
"Are you terrorists?"
"Huh?"
Faced with this sudden turn, everyone froze.
Terrorists?
"What are you talking about? We’re not terrorists! Are your eyes blind?"
Eiriri shouted angrily.
"We just came to help after seeing the crash! Do you have any sense at all?"
"Silence! You bunch of monkeys!"
Hearing Eiriri’s retort, the officer shouted loudly.
"In front of us sacred Britannians, there’s no space for your excuses. Since you are with this vehicle driven by terrorists, it shows you are accomplices! Men, shoot them on site and take the target back!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the officer’s order, other soldiers raised their guns, aiming at the girls.
However, at that moment, a voice echoed.
"Who are you calling monkeys...?"
As the voice sounded, an invisible pressure exploded, causing the soldiers and officer to feel as if their heads had been hit hard, making them dizzy and involuntarily kneel down. Fang Zheng stood up and coldly stared at the officer, stepping towards them.
"You Anglo-Saxon white pigs, an incomplete Barbarian race, dare call us monkeys?"
Fang Zheng stepped forward, and with each step, those men felt as if their bodies were being forcefully pressed down by huge stones. The officer especially trembled, as though his body was being squeezed by an invisible hand, beginning to shrink, emitting cracking sounds.
"W-who are you?"
"You don’t need to know."
Standing before the officer, Fang Zheng coldly stared at him.
"Such barbaric and vile creatures aren’t worthy of knowing my name, nor of questioning me, lesser beings. The crime of daring to offend me..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out, and the officer let out a shrill scream with his action.
"You will repay with your lives."
With this, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"Ahh-aaah!"
The next moment, unparalleled Dragon Might fully erupted, and the officer and the soldiers by his side screamed in terror, their brains exploding under the tremendous pressure, blood mixed with cerebral fluid flowing from their mouths and noses. They collapsed limply to the ground with no further response.
"Hmm, such a killjoy."
Fang Zheng withdrew the Dragon Might, coldly sweeping a glance at the incapacitated fools before him—from a physiological perspective, they were still alive. But as humans, their only remaining contribution might be organ donation.
"Let’s go, leave this place first."
After withdrawing his gaze, Fang Zheng gestured to the girls and nodded towards the green-haired girl.
"Take her along too; it seems we’ve gotten involved in troublesome affairs again."
