Section 59 Invitation
Chapter 59 Invitation
The man has a bald head and his back is turned to the bloody eyes. His face cannot be seen clearly.
But for some reason, the moment she saw his back, Xue Tong's mind recalled the scene he saw before he fell into coma. The meteor that fell from the sky and crashed into the mountain, and the steel figure as strong as a tiger that stood on the top of the mountain.
.
He stopped and stood quietly at the door.
No more steps forward.
"Since you're here, come in." A hoarse voice sounded in the room. The bald man touched his bald head and waved his hand casually.
He turned his back to Xue Tong and had no intention of standing up from the sofa, but Xue Tong did not feel ignored at all. Because there was a special power in the other party's words, which was an absolute control that could not be violated.
The power makes people obey involuntarily.
Entering the room, Xue Tong discovered that opposite the bald man was a very spacious floor-to-ceiling window with velvet curtains hanging on both sides. At this moment, the curtains were opened, and through the floor-to-ceiling window, Xue Tong immediately saw an endless starry sky...
I am actually in the universe! This is a spaceship!
Xue Tong was immediately stunned. Although he had dreamed of leaving Planet X35 many times and leaving this disaster-like apocalypse, when he really stood here, he found that it was so unreal. For a moment, he forgot everything.
, the whole person just stood there blankly.
"Does it look good?"
The voice of the bald man came to his ears, and Xue Tong nodded involuntarily. This was the first time he saw the universe, a universe not covered by dark clouds at all. The deep starry sky, the charming halo and the endless vastness
It shocked him. Looking at the starry sky in front of him, Xue Tong even forgot to speak.
"I also think it's very charming. You know? Although I can see it every day, I just can't see enough. Every time I finish a mission, I have to sit here quietly and watch it for a while." The bald man
He didn't care about Xue Tong's silence and continued to talk to himself.
"Look, how beautiful it is. Those starlights are like the most gorgeous gems in the universe, and these naked planets, each one seems to carry countless years. If they can, I really hope they can
It will become my collection. But unfortunately I can’t do that. I can only open a floor-to-ceiling window on this ship to make me think that I have collected it.”
Having said this, the bald man raised his head and finally turned his gaze from the floor-to-ceiling window to Xue Tong...
"Your name is Xue Tong? I heard Ling and Heng mention you."
"Yes." Xue Tong nodded, and then saw the appearance of the bald man.
This is a man who exudes an infinitely tough aura just by sitting there. He is very strong, and the muscles on his body are as hard as steel. There are huge scars all over his upper body. There is a scorpion on his bald head.
The tattoo looks very scary. His appearance is ugly, but he has a pair of shining eyes. When you are stared at by him, you will have a solid sense of oppression. It can even make people forget to breathe.
While Xue Tong was observing the bald man, the bald man was also observing Xue Tong. When he saw Xue Tong's expression quickly changed from surprise at the beginning to calmness, he couldn't help but nodded and showed a very scary smile.
"You're very nice. Sit down."
"...Thank you." Xue Tong was silent for a while, then sat diagonally opposite the bald man.
The velvet sofa is very soft, just like the skin of a lover. Xue Tong has never experienced such enjoyment in his life. For him, who has always been struggling between life and death, the luxurious room in front of him is like a dream. Even Lord Custer's
The living room is far inferior.
"What would you like to drink?" The bald man reached out and pressed a control panel next to him, and a waiter immediately walked in. He lowered his hand respectfully.
"I... want a rum bar." In front of the bald man, Xue Tong felt that all politeness was hypocrisy.
"Oh, Rum. It's a very good spirit. But it's too sweet. Men should drink strong wine. I advise you to try whiskey. You will like it." The bald man said domineeringly, and then hit the waiter.
Snapping his fingers, the waiter immediately withdrew respectfully and quickly brought two glasses of brown whiskey.
I've only seen people drink this kind of wine, but it does taste good. The smell of whiskey is very fragrant, filling the whole room with a light aroma.
The two of them drank in silence and watched the starry sky. No one spoke first. After this brief contact, Xue Tong gradually adapted to the pressure on the bald man and no longer felt so nervous.
After a while, the bald man put down the wine glass in his hand and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"I guess you have guessed my identity. My name is Hansel, some people also call me Scorpion. I am a space mercenary."
Xue Tong's fingers holding the wine glass trembled, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Sure enough... this man was just as he had guessed. Was he the cause of the meteor that destroyed half of the mountain that day? When he thought of the devastation,
The scene made Xue Tong shudder from the bottom of his heart. That was no longer a power that humans could achieve. It was simply a disaster! And such a terrifying disaster was actually caused by the man in front of him?
Powerful is no longer enough to describe him...
Taking a deep breath, Xue Tong suppressed the shock in his heart and asked indifferently.
"Yes, I guessed it. What about Li'er?"
"Li'er? That girl who fought with you?" Hansel thought for a moment and patted his bald head. "I didn't expect you to have such a relationship. But don't worry, she ran away. I'm not interested in little girls.
What's more, she is the mission of Ling and Heng. I don't have time to mind their business. I'm not their nanny. I went down because they were dying. These two guys are my vassals after all.
We can’t watch them die.”
"But that little girl is pretty good...she can beat Zero and Heng so badly. She is also a good mercenary prospect. It's a pity that she is a mutant." Hansel muttered a few words and then waved his hand.
"I hate long-winded words. Let's be direct. I'm attracted to you... How about being my vassal?"
"!"
Xue Tong's eyes widened suddenly. Although he had already guessed Hansel's intention, when he pointed it out directly, he still couldn't believe his ears. This is the most direct way to become a cosmic mercenary.
! It is the hope of leaving the seventh world and entering the advanced world. How many hunters fight desperately every year, just hoping to be recommended by the hunter guild and be favored by a cosmic mercenary? And such a hope is actually placed in front of him at this moment.
.Xue Tong almost thought he was dreaming.
After a brief shock, there was a long silence. Xue Tong sat quietly on the sofa, his head lowered. Hansel did not rush him, because he could understand Xue Tong's feelings. This was the same as what he had encountered before.
The inheritance of space mercenaries is a bit weird. Except for the occasional large-scale recruitment by the mercenary headquarters, most of the space mercenaries came from vassals step by step. Only after experiencing the baptism of blood and fire can they become a true mercenary.
The space mercenary.
Space mercenaries are well treated and have a high status in most worlds. But this is just the surface. In fact, this profession is very cruel. Countless newcomers die every year while performing tasks. Because they are doing the most cruel thing in the universe.
Dangerous work, never-ending battles! Those who can accept these and endure them without going crazy...are definitely not ordinary people!
Hansel is very optimistic about Xue Tong, because he feels a smell in Xue Tong's body. A smell of killing and blood. Only this kind of person is the most suitable to become a space mercenary. Become the strongest one among millions of people.
.
The silence... would eventually be broken. After an unknown amount of time, Xue Tong finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "I... still have a slave on planet x35. I don't know what happened to him now."
"This is not a problem. Someone will take care of it for you." Hansel smiled slightly. "You may not know that behind each cosmic mercenary there are thousands of people serving him. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters at all.
They will professionally help you deal with all your worries.”
"In this case..." Xue Tong raised his head with a firm look in his eyes. "Then I have nothing to think about. Should I call you master now?"
"Ha, it depends on you. I guess you are influenced by those two guys Zero and Heng. I prefer others to call me by my name, or call me Sir." Hansel waved his hand. "Actually, the mercenaries are vassals.
They are not as lowly as you think. From a certain perspective, they are also space mercenaries. They have their own tasks and can act alone. However, according to the rules, they must fight a certain number of times and follow the clan leader for three years.
Obtain the qualifications for the probationary mercenary examination. You will know this when you follow me back to the branch. If you want to become a vassal, I think you still need to learn some things."
"Yes, I understand." Xue Tong nodded seriously and took note of Hansel's words.
From now on, he is regarded as Hansel's vassal. Although he has lost his precious freedom, he has gained a rare opportunity. This is a bloody road, and Xue Tong does not intend to make any mistakes.
At this point in the conversation, the two of them had made a good start. Hansel then called an attendant up and asked him to take the blood pupil to collect equipment and rest. They were on a pocket spaceship. The distance to the servant was
There will still be a period of time in the military branch. During this period, Xue Tong needs to get familiar with the change of identity.
After putting on a vassal-specific combat uniform and receiving his certificate, Xue Tong became a real vassal. Looking at the vast starry sky outside the spaceship window, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
