Chapter 639 Communication
He completed the commission given to him by Gilbert and let the new butler see the big scene.
Zheng Shu casually opened a space crack, threw the glass container containing Reinol's brain into it and left it alone.
On the other side of the space crack, outside the balcony of the lobby of the Libra headquarters, Leo, who had just received Zheng Shu's message, was waiting here with a thick blanket.
After the space crack was opened, the glassware that fell out of it fell into the blanket in his hand.
"Hey, why didn't Mr. Zheng Shu come back with us? Is there something urgent?"
After thinking about it, Leo didn't dwell too much on this issue.
In his opinion, it was understandable that a strong man like Zheng Shu would suddenly have something important to do.
On the other side, after throwing Reinol's brain over, the smile on Zheng Shu's face quickly disappeared, and he turned to look into the depths of the thick fog not far away.
He was now very close to the city center, which was sparsely populated and the fog was much thicker than outside.
This is the base carefully selected by the aliens. Only places like this are the hardest to find.
"What? After seeing so much, you're not going to come out? If you don't come out, I'm going to go back."
"Ah!"
As Zheng Shu said this, a sneer seemed to come from the depths of the thick fog.
Then, the thick fog slowly dissipated around as if guided, revealing a figure with golden hair and red eyes hidden behind.
"It looks like you're having a lot of fun with these little people."
The King of Despair still had his hands in his pockets in a cool and relaxed manner and walked straight to Zheng Shu.
Looking at the marks on the road left by the power of his punch just now, King Despair's tone did not change much.
"It's okay. After all, I usually don't fail when I find someone to play with."
Zheng Shu folded his arms and calmly stabbed the King of Despair with his words.
The King of Despair is just like his title. Since he does not have an actual body, he will actively seek out people who are in despair and merge with them to share their bodies.
Although Zheng Shu didn't know what this guy's purpose was, according to the original book, he had never succeeded once from ancient times to the present.
Although each time he searches for people who are in extreme despair, in the end he will still be defeated by the hope in the hearts of human beings.
Judging from his battle record, he is the kind of villain who is defeated over and over again in classic fairy tales.
"Tsk!"
Facts have proved that Zheng Shu's verbal attack is extremely effective. The King of Despair's originally calm face immediately became angry at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But as if he had thought of something, his expression quickly calmed down again.
"Is your best skill just your mouth? I don't think you can be a safe bet with just that. I don't understand why Feimuto would recommend you."
"To be honest, I can't understand it either. This bastard hasn't told me about this yet, even though I did know about it through some means."
Zheng Shu was not angry at his words. Instead, he touched his chin in confusion.
When Zheng Shu was secretly following him before, he knew that Feimto wanted him to act as insurance for this guy, but up to now, Feimto had been staying in seclusion in the laboratory, and no one knew what he was working on.
This made Zheng Shu think for a moment that he had given up on this idea, but now that the King of Despair had come to him, it seemed that Feimto must have been very sure when he told him that.
But if that's the case, then this is very strange.
Zheng Shu had no doubt that Feimto already knew that he knew his thoughts, but even if he agreed for the sake of the relationship between them, as a basic courtesy, he should come and say it to him in person.
Although the Thirteen Kings usually look unruly, as people who have climbed to such a level, it is impossible for them to ignore such things.
To put it bluntly, since everyone has endless life, although you can be shameless in most cases, you still have to give "face" when you are consuming favors.
"To be honest, I feel really bad right now. I always feel like that bastard Feimuto has schemed against me."
When Zheng Shu said this, the originally aggressive King of Despair nodded in agreement:
"To be honest, I feel the same way."
The two of them suddenly smiled at each other, and the originally tense atmosphere was reduced a lot.
"So let's talk business first. What exactly are you doing here this time? You're not just here to watch the fun, are you?"
As Zheng Shu spoke, he looked at the King of Despair. Of course, he was not looking at his body, but searching for something deeper hidden inside the body he was currently living in.
"Actually, I almost know what Fimto is thinking. After all, we have known each other for so many years, so I came here this time to test your strength." King Despair expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
"Oh? There's nothing wrong with wanting to test my strength. Everyone else has this idea anyway. But I'm wondering why you look like I will definitely help you?" Zheng Shu narrowed his eyes.
"Haha, maybe it's because my purpose is different from what most people imagine."
King Despair didn't seem to want to say anything more, he just raised his hand towards Zheng Shu.
call!
The clothes on Zheng Shu's body suddenly changed in nature, transforming from artificial fibers into blue energy flames.
"what?!"
Even Zheng Shu was unable to react to such a sudden attack. Although he quickly put out the fire, he could still clearly feel the burning sensation on his body.
"You mean... can it transform matter into flames? No, it's not just a simple mass-energy conversion. In addition to containing a large amount of energy, these flames also have special powers."
"It's more than that."
The voice of the King of Despair came from behind, and Zheng Shu turned his head to avoid the incoming fire bomb.
Turning his head, he saw that the metal ruins made up of containers behind him were gradually transforming into balls of blue flames, and the figure of the King of Despair was emerging from these flames.
"Can you use the fire you create to travel through space at will? It's a simple ability, but it's very difficult to fight you."
Although he said the above, Zheng Shu's tone did not change much.
"But these powers are still a little weak for you, right?"
He tried to use his ability on the substance on Zheng Shu's body again, but found that a strange magic circle blocked his power.
Looking at Zheng Shu's expressionless face and calm tone, as if he felt he was being looked down upon, veins bulged on the King of Despair's forehead and he opened his arms in a hugging gesture.
"Well, how about you try to face this move?!"
boom!
Like a volcanic eruption, large amounts of matter were transformed into blue flames by King Despair.
Not only the surrounding ruins and debris, but even the ground and air were affected by the power of the King of Despair and transformed into flames.
"Ah, it seems like you won't stop unless you get beaten up. What a nuisance."
Although surrounded by flames, Zheng Shu still looked calm and composed.
Looking at the sea of fire around him that was powerful enough to melt gold and iron in an instant, Zheng Shu sighed helplessly, rolled up his sleeves that had several holes burned on them, moved his wrists, and assumed a fighting stance.
"Come on, I'm in a hurry, don't die."
"watch out!"
The King of Despair, whose body even began to turn into energy, didn't say much. He waved to Zheng Shu, and the surging sea of fire set off a tsunami of flames, pressing towards the seemingly tiny figure.
"Hey!"
Zheng Shu grinned and swung his fist at the overwhelming tsunami of fire.
……
……
In a secret ward of a comprehensive underground hospital in Hersharemz.
Reinol, who had finally regained his consciousness, was talking to Gilbert, who was also lying on the hospital bed.
Reinol was lying here because he had just undergone a rough brain removal operation. Even though the highly skilled doctors here had put his brain back, it would still take some time for his body to heal from the injuries.
The reason why Gilbert appeared here was because his back pain was aggravated when he tried to knock Reinol out.
Touching the metal mask that the doctor had put on his left cheek, Reinol fell into deep thought.
"After this incident, I learned a lot. I deeply realized that there is not only one kind of strength. It turns out that I am still far from being a perfect butler..."
Looking at the reflective Renoir, Gilbert smiled with relief.
"Renoir."
"Yes?"
"The look in your eyes right now proves that you are well suited to staying in this city. What do you think? Would you like to consider officially joining Lebra?"
If it was the previous Renoir who heard this, he might happily agree loudly, but after experiencing so many big scenes, when he heard Gilbert's invitation, Renoir was shocked and his face changed with fear:
“No no no no no no! I don’t want it!!!”
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Zheng Shu used a little too much force." Leo, who came to visit nearby, saw Renol's reaction and sighed helplessly.
"Is he sure he won't stay? It's a shame. I feel like Reinol is doing a better job than Mr. Gilbert."
Zapp, who came to the hospital to change the dressing, said this heartlessly, but before he could finish his words, he was hit back by Leo.
"Don't say that in front of me, you bastard!"
Then he thought of what he had seen through Reinol's eyes before, and nodded with some understanding:
"But it's normal. Seeing such an exaggerated scene, any normal person would be scared."
Zapp glanced at Leo, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face, making Leo feel uncomfortable all over: "What does that expression mean?"
"Nothing, I just remembered when you first joined Libra. At that time, you were considered a 'normal person'. Now you have become a freak in the eyes of others."
"Is that so? Maybe I'm just used to it."
After a brief recollection, Leo felt a little moved by his own changes. Unknowingly, he had actually become a lot stronger.
……
……
When Zheng Shu returned to Libra again, it was seven days after Reinol was rescued.
Thanks to Hersharemz's superb medical skills, Reinol has fully recovered and hastily "escaped" from the city.
Likewise, Mr. Gilbert finally healed his back.
It was early morning when Zheng Shu came to Libra again. There were not many people in the entire building except the staff on duty, and there was no one in the headquarters lobby.
…That’s how it should be.
"Leo? I didn't expect you to be here so early, but why do you look so run down?"
Sitting down on the sofa, Zheng Shu looked at Leo, who was slumped on the sofa like a puddle of mud, with some curiosity.
"Ah...it's Mr. Zheng Shu...long time no see." Leo's voice sounded as if he was about to die.
"Wow! You look really scary. Do you need me to find a hospital for you?"
"No, I'm just a little tired."
Leo climbed up from the sofa with difficulty, leaned against the back of the sofa, and stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing Zheng Shu's question, Leo seemed to have found someone to talk to. He spoke incessantly, even though he was half dead before:
"The day before yesterday, Miss K.K.'s son was having a birthday, so I accompanied her to Landis Supermarket to buy a birthday card for 'Adventurous Boy Blimmon'..."
"Brimmon..." Zheng Shu's head gradually tilted.
“I’m not sure, it seems to be a very unpopular cartoon.
Anyway, although we finally found the last birthday card of Brimon in the supermarket, we were inexplicably ambushed and attacked by gangsters. "
"Injured?" Zheng Shu looked Leo up and down and found no injuries on his body.
When it comes to this, Leo's expression becomes tearful:
“No, Miss K.K. was very strong and protected me well. But the problem was that they smashed the entire store to pieces during the exchange of fire.
Miss K.K. started to ride away early, but I was caught by the mobile police and followed him to the police station, where I stayed for a full 26 hours. "
"Wow... that sounds like it's going to be tough."
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zheng Shu, are you okay?! I haven't heard from you for such a long time, and your clothes don't look good either!"
After Leo came to his senses, he found that Zheng Shu's condition seemed not much better than his own. His clothes were tattered and he looked like he had just escaped from a fire.
Come to think of it, this is the first time Leo has seen Zheng Shu in such a miserable state since they met.
"Ah, you mean this?"
Zheng Shu glanced at his clothes that had been burned to tatters and waved his hand indifferently:
"Nothing. I just met a guy who refused to give in. Since he was quite durable, it took me a while to beat him up, and I beat him up pretty hard."
"That was a pretty harsh beating..." Leo broke out in a cold sweat as he recalled how Zheng Shu had knocked away the controls of an entire road with one punch. "Then I can only wish him rest in peace."
"Ah? Not really. I told you. I just beat him up a little too hard, but I didn't kill him."
