From star abyss

Chapter 620 324. Howling of the Stars

bass!

A bloody streak spread on Nefes' neck, and then the collar that pierced the skin fell off and fell to the ground.

Snap.

Li Ozi stepped on his toes and said calmly:

"you're free."

Nefes raised her head. Li Ozi lifted the forbidden treatment effect on her body. The scars on her neck healed quickly, and the flesh and blood on her body began to regenerate. Her retina gradually regained focus. She looked at Li Ozi, hesitated for a moment, and still Choose to ask aloud:

"...Why didn't you kill me?"

"Why should I kill? As far as I am concerned, you and I have no hatred."

Li Ozi put away the crimson sword blade and asked with a strange look on his face.

"As Gabros, I killed countless people and destroyed several planets..."

Nefes thought for a while and said:

"In fact, I am guilty..."

"As you said, the one who killed was Gabros as a commodity." Li Ozi shrugged: "Besides, have you ever felt guilty?"

Nefes raised his hand, looked at the bloody palm, and murmured:

"No."

"I have used this hand to take countless lives. As the company's war machine, I bear the sins of destruction and slaughter... But now, I still want to live."

"It's good that you are aware of your sins. It means you still have some conscience and know that 'killing' is wrong." Li Ozi said calmly: "If you don't realize your sins, I will crush you immediately. Turn it into flesh, and then seal it into a two-dimensional space, between the superposition of life and death, forever."

"...You decided to forgive me?" Nefes frowned, expressing confusion.

"Of course. I have the capital. Anyway, I can kill you at any time."

Li Ozi said calmly:

"In pursuit of my goals, I may not have killed fewer innocent civilians than you. But the reason why I forgive you is not because I forgive your crimes, but because: you are already afraid, uneasy, and guilty of conscience—— This shows that you already have personality. This means that you will no longer be controlled by the company in the future."

"……Another point."

Nefes stared at Li Ozi's gray eyes, and the other person's eyes were very calm.

Not the kind of aloof calm, but treating ordinary mortals who do not pose a threat.

She opened her mouth and asked her final question:

"Leoz, I don't understand, why do you want to grant me freedom?"

"I used to be Gabros, with outstanding fighting ability. With your current situation, you also need a Zeta-level (6) strong man to join you."

"From the perspective of maximizing benefits, you should enslave me and turn me into a subordinate or a fighting machine."

"I'm not a capitalist. I don't need others to support me to survive."

Li Ozi put his hands in his pockets with a matter-of-fact expression:

"I have no intention of imprisoning others' personal freedom. As you can see - with my power, even a narrative-level civilization can't do anything to me now."

"But, your planet..."

"That's not my home base, I don't care that much."

Li Ozi glanced in the direction of Bai Zhuxing and said casually:

"A place like White Candle Star is not worth mentioning to me. It doesn't matter even if it is destroyed."

[You have performed an act of lying and are currently judging the [Charm] attribute...]

[Specialty·"Arbitrary" is activated! 】

[Charisma test passed, the other party believed your lie]

"I see."

Nefes nodded. Li Ozi's lofty and plain attitude didn't look like he was pretending. The divinity he naturally revealed showed that he had already deeply explored the divine personality.

——The group should not touch Leos...

Nefes thought.

——Leoz has no weakness. He is a godly person with a weak personality. There is no point in trying to threaten him with hostages.

But...there is no need to report this information to the group now.

Nefes stood under the starlight, but his mood did not change.

Even after killing Naliya, she didn't feel any relief, because she didn't have these emotions in the first place, and her body's hormone organs had been processed long ago.

It looks like she is still a humanoid creature, but inside, she is already a biochemical monster.

"free……"

Nefes murmured:

"I've never, ever felt anything like this."

She lowered her head and spread her hands. She didn't know what to do. She just stood there blankly and confided to Li Aozi:

"...When I was very young, maybe 4 or 3 years old, I was taken out of the tribe. The elders took the money from the company, then gave me a stick and asked me to fight."

"I seemed to be thrown into a dark cave, and then, in order to fight for a piece of bread, I had to fight the Tomac man-eating insect, the prong-horned spirit deer, the electric bird, my younger brother, my older brother... …At the end of the day, my sister and I survived.”

Li Ozi was a little surprised. Nepheus in his previous life had no story background. It was entirely because of the excessive strength and template that it became a hot topic among players.

As soon as the version was updated, her limelight was immediately overshadowed by the new BOSS and levels, and no one dug out her identity and background.

Now, Nefes tells her origins from her own words.

"...My sister and I have been fighting. In order to survive, we have to learn various skills, such as climbing roads, piloting spaceships, grabbing weapons, assassinating, blasting, interrogating, counter-interrogating, and lurking."

"We live in a large cage, like a beehive, densely packed with children selected from remote planets. The company arranges us like an assembly line, and leisurely batches screen, train, and transform us into Soldiers, and then send us to participate in various battles and kill civilians..."

"For a long time, we wouldn't be called by our first names, they would call us 'Gabros.'"

"In Draconic, this word means 'executioner'."

Naifes said without emotion:

"Our bodies are modified, glands are removed, making us lose vitals and emotions, and then nanomachines are implanted to control our thoughts. If we disobey or develop autonomous consciousness, we will be electrocuted - all the cells in our body It will instantly release electric current, making every muscle lose control."

"I once saw with my own eyes that a Gabros was given continuous electric shocks for dozens of hours because of his treason. The muscles in his body were completely relaxed and necrotic. He finally drowned in his own excrement."

"My sister and I...actually I can't remember her image or her name. I only remember that during a loyalty training transformation, in order to test my loyalty, I was ordered to fight her."

"She didn't beg me for mercy. In her eyes, I could see that I had the same cold expression as hers - then I raised my hand and broke her neck. The inspecting leader next to me laughed, clapped and applauded. Order me to dispose of the body, let me sink her into the pool of dissociation liquid with my own hands, and then peel off the silver armor from her body."

"etc--"

Li Ozi was stunned and immediately realized something:

"...Have you been wearing her armor since then?"

"Yes." Nefes said calmly: "In order to show my loyalty, the administrator made me wear the armor of the sister I killed with my own hands, and gave me a nickname."

"——Armor of Silver."
