"Agreent?" Li Zheng was puzzled. He had signed nurous agreents with others; just with Prel’s Eye, he had signed four confidentiality agreents.
Seeing Li Zheng hesitating to co down, the man assud it was because of the knife in his hand, so he sheathed it back into the scabbard at his waist. "The agreent you signed today."
The agreent signed today was rely an agreent with Liu Qi not to participate in the activities any longer.
But... besides a few team mbers and Liu Qi, not many people should know about this, right?
Who is this person?
Why does he seem so concerned about this matter?
Could it be a competitor of Kunlun wanting to return to participate in the activities, to compete with Kunlun for points?
Li Zheng hesitated and asked, "Who are you?"
"?" The man raised his head, without making any extra movents, an invisible aura exploded from him, overwhelming like an ancient fierce beast awakening from slumber, roaring at the sky, choosing soone to devour.
"You can call : Butcher."
Such a strong presence!
Li Zheng’s eyes narrowed, the Butcher’s power was beyond his imagination, perhaps only the two cloaked individuals he t before could compare to him.
Is there really such a powerful existence among the players?
Moreover, the Terminal allows him to walk around the Matrix unquestioned?
"Aww~"
Little Sakura also sensed the terrifying presence, tilted its head back, and fell straight from the air, stirring up dust with a thud.
The little fellow, just like the first ti encountering Luo Aiman, chose to play dead.
The pink Poli lifted its head, dazed for two seconds before understanding Little Sakura’s intent, and lay on top of it, playing dead together.
"You’re not a player," Li Zheng said, trying to remain calm.
Butcher: "To be precise, I’m not a current player."
This statent could be interpreted as he was once a player, but is not one anymore.
This also validated Li Zheng’s earlier speculation that Earth humans weren’t the first creatures to enter the Matrix.
"You’ve co to find just to confirm why I signed that agreent?" Li Zheng was puzzled. He had just signed a trivial agreent, so why had such a formidable person been disturbed?
The Butcher shook his head: "To be precise, I am here to help you nullify the agreent. Your actions this ti have displeased a certain important person. After all, he quite values you, and this event, in a way, was specifically set up for you."
An event set up specifically for ?
Isn’t this a bit absurd?
Could it be that the important person who values is the Matrix Terminal?
Hiss...
Damn!
It’s not impossible though!
Li Zheng thought of the Treasure Chest System; every ti he took sothing from a treasure chest, the Terminal would give a collection prompt.
It’s reasonable that the Terminal would notice him.
Moreover, who else but the Matrix Terminal can command the Butcher and people of such calibre to run errands?
This also explained why, last ti when taking a sample for the doctor, the cloaked person helped out instead of standing by idly.
At that ti, Li Zheng thought it was because the person respected the doctor.
Thinking back now, it should have been the Terminal instructing from the shadows, right?
But why?
Why does the Terminal take special care of ?
Just because I have a Treasure Chest System?
Or perhaps...
The Treasure Chest System is also sothing the Terminal gave ?
No reason!
I am just an ordinary Earth player, what virtue or ability do I have to receive such care?
In terms of strength, when Zhan Zhouzhou entered the Matrix, aside from the monsters on Fudao Island, she could definitely rank among the top in the world!
In terms of responsibility, Xiao Siyuan could surpass him by miles.
Even in terms of luck, Phoenix Mountain could look down on him.
Why does soone as ordinary as he receive such treatnt?
Almost instantly, countless thoughts flashed through Li Zheng’s mind.
"After the agreent is signed, can anyone else besides the Terminal also undo it?" Li Zheng asked calmly.
Clang!
The Butcher unsheathed the Bone-Cutting Knife at his waist slightly: "In this area, there is nothing that cannot be cut!"
This statent was a bit boastful, and Li Zheng automatically replaced it with another explanation: In the Newbie Village, can I, a Full Level character, not open things as I please?
But the key is, this damn thing is a system binding!
I’ve never heard of a Full Level character being able to change bindings at will!
Even if you’re a Supre Platinum VVVVVVVIP, you wouldn’t have that privilege, right!?
That’s the GM’s job, right?
How do you expect the Terminal to stand out like this!?
"Hurry down, I’m in a rush to complete the task and then go back to find soone to cook little Turtle Turtle," urged the Butcher.
"Oh, wait a minute."
Li Zheng retracted his wings and landed not far from the Butcher. Out of caution, he didn’t get too close and asked, "What should I do?"
An agreent is an intangible thing; he was completely ignorant of the steps to dissolve it.
Butcher: "Give the teleportation device you used to enter the event."
Li Zheng complied, took out the event ticket, and tossed it over.
The Butcher casually beckoned, and the event ticket fell into his palm. Then, with a flash of his knife, a cracking sound echoed in the air.
"Here, catch this."
The ticket flew back, and Li Zheng caught it in his hand, discovering that the agreent locking the ticket had indeed disappeared.
The next mont, he received several private ssages.
With the Butcher still in front, he didn’t have ti to check them.
"All done." The Butcher completed the task, feeling quite pleased, and turned to look at the two blood-drained armored Dragon Turtles.
Li Zheng tried to approach by a few more steps; he found that the Butcher didn’t seem to plan to use conventional decomposition thods, sparking his curiosity.
At the sa ti, he also got a clear look at the Butcher’s appearance.
From the side, the Butcher looked slender and weak, with a gentle and ordinary appearance, upper body bare, wearing a leather apron, lower body in dirty casual pants, the pants cuff rolled up to the calves, a short and wide knife sheath tied with a thin thread at his lower back, and wearing green flip-flops on his feet.
If it weren’t for Li Zheng witnessing the thods of the opposite side not too long ago, he wouldn’t have imagined this to be a terrifying figure at all.
"No! Or rather... this is indeed how a big shot should dress! Casual, unrestrained!"
The Butcher seed to know that Li Zheng was observing him, and said without turning around, "Stop looking, this is not my real appearance, I specifically asked the doctor to change it to one you’re more comfortable with for this task."
As he spoke, Li Zheng saw the Butcher’s skin beside his ear suddenly disappear, turning into a few tufts of ssy hair, among which was a familiar item to him—a Translator.
Regarding the Butcher’s true appearance, Li Zheng wasn’t curious at all; he was more curious about why the Terminal was so insistent on his participation in the event.
After all, the minor rewards for winning the event were of little value to him.
Tomorrow he could open an Extraordinary Treasure Chest, and with good luck, he might directly obtain a finished item, grasping an item of the sa level as the event’s winning prize.
Li Zheng directly asked the Butcher this question.
The Butcher chuckled, "So of the rewards for this event have been hidden and not announced."
"If you ultimately win, each mber of your team will receive a ticket to directly access the Outer City."
