Delta is Coming, Big Red Has Special Effects

235: The stench of decay undergroundLiu Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly.

”Has no one ever told you that you’re a psychopath?”

”Or have any Xia Country people ever called you an ’idiot’?”

Ivan had just babbled on and on.

Liu Yan understood what was going on.

Jacob had invited him at the same time he invited Liu Yan.

And he had said almost the same things to him.

After learning that his choice might cause others to wear brain-machine interfaces.

That’s why he wanted to kill Liu Yan.

If Liu Yan were him, he would do the same.

For most problems, the best way to solve them is always to eliminate the person involved.

Ivan shook his head.

”Of course not, they all call me the War Magician.”

Liu Yan put away the ceremonial dagger.

That sudden movement made Ivan instinctively take a step back.

The image of being slashed was still vivid in his mind.

”Is your way of talking to people to kidnap them first?”

”I told you, I wanted to see your character.”

Ivan tidied his stained bartender’s uniform, then continued:

”At first, I didn’t know you had so many Soldiers.”

”I thought about kidnapping them and seeing your reaction.”

”Later, when I saw the other Soldiers, I planned to come clean with you.”

”But you were so overbearing, what could I do?”

Ivan spread his hands, his expression full of helplessness.

”What’s with that ability of yours? Did you wish for it with the heart of africa?” Liu Yan suddenly asked.

Ivan nodded, replying truthfully:

”It’s a form of escape magic, which I originally knew, but it wasn’t as powerful as it became after the heart of africa improved it.”

”How did you make the wish?” Liu Yan asked.

Ivan recalled for a while before saying:

”I can’t tell you word for word, but I can give you a general idea.”

”However, this is also important intelligence, it can buy my life, right?”

Ivan was very clear about his current situation; without Xiao Soul providing the ten thousand gold tear crown, he couldn’t escape.

It might take some effort for Liu Yan to kill him, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be killed.

”Tell me.” Liu Yan nodded.

”I probably wished like this at the time.”

Ivan coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then recounted his wish at the time:

”I wish to become the greatest magician, to have all the magic I know upgraded. For example, my original palm card trick can become a palm trick for other items, and the most important one, the escape trick, must truly save my life. If it’s too incredible, some cost can be added, such as some low-value items, any quantity is fine, but it must have the visual impact a top magician should have.”

Ivan finished his wish in one breath, without even time to breathe in between.

By the end, his face was even flushed, and he almost choked.

Liu Yan’s mouth slowly opened wide.

”Is it...that specific?”

Having made two wishes before, Liu Yan knew that the heart of africa was actually very intelligent.

Just like the wish he made in his MP3 in the figurine at the time.

When mentioning Cai Ning, he said a sentence, and the heart of africa would know which one was Cai Ning.

This indicated that the heart of africa was not rigid.

”Of course, what if the wish comes true, but it’s not what I want?”

Ivan conjured a bottle of cola and drank it by himself.

Saying so much in one breath had made him a bit parched.

But ultimately, his wish only had two key points.

One was the upgrade of the magic he knew, and the other was the cost.

Liu Yan pondered slightly.

It had to be said, Ivan’s thought process was excellent.

Essentially, it was exchanging resources for life.

But to be fair, the value of the trash consumed by Ivan’s ability, when added up, was higher.

Although it could be recycled, appearing 300 meters away meant it couldn’t be recycled a second time anytime soon.

Hearing the two mention the heart of africa, a Soldier, with a mysterious expression, placed a hand on Liu Yan’s shoulder.

”Boss, look what I brought you.”

Saying that, a Soldier held a heart of africa and dangled it in front of Liu Yan.

Liu Yan and Ivan’s pupils simultaneously constricted, looking at the Soldier in disbelief.

”Well, you No. 88888, you’ve hidden it well, haven’t you? Good thing I also prepared one for the boss.”

Saying that, this Soldier also took out a heart of africa.

”No, where did you all get these? Boss, I wasn’t as lucky as them, I only have a resuscitation ventilator.”

This Soldier took out a resuscitation ventilator from his bag and presented it to Liu Yan.

The other Soldiers also began to rummage through their backpacks.

A dazzling array of special items was pulled out of their bags.

These were all their welcome gifts for Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

And Ivan, on the side, was utterly stunned.

What was this?

For three years, while other countries cleared out Soldiers, he ran around the operational areas, searching everywhere.

In three years, he only managed to find two Hearts of Africa.

Yet, Liu Yan didn’t even need to search himself; the Soldiers directly presented them with both hands?

A Soldier nudged Soldier No. 66666 with his elbow, then he gestured with his chin towards Soldier No. 88888.

”Tsk, Brother Six, someone here is even more competitive than you.”

No. 66666 snorted.

”He gave a heart of africa because he was lucky and found a heart of africa.”

”I didn’t give a heart of africa because Sakura Country was unlucky and had no heart of africa.”

All these words fell into Liu Yan’s ears.

Liu Yan exclaimed inwardly, ”Good heavens.”

No wonder bosses always hoped employees would be competitive.

”Everyone, no need to be so polite, line up one by one.”

Liu Yan raised his hands and shouted at the Soldiers.

At the same time, he continuously placed the items they gave him into quantum storage.

”I’ll keep them for you for now, and I’ll return them when you need them.”

Ivan, on the side, had his eyebrows furrowed into an M shape, looking at Liu Yan with disdain.

Was he too lazy to even pretend?

No matter how loyal these Soldiers were to him, he shouldn’t treat them like fools, right?

”I say, your behavior...”

”Thank you, Boss!”

A Soldier solemnly handed a military shell to Liu Yan, his face full of gratitude.

”It’s nothing.” Liu Yan took the military shell and turned to look at Ivan.

”What were you just going to say?”

”Uh...” Ivan scratched his temple.

”You go ahead.”

It took a while for Liu Yan to put all the Soldiers’ welcome gifts into quantum storage.

”Oh my, why does it smell so bad? Who the hell took a dump here?”

Not far away, Cai Ning frowned, a cigarette still dangling from his mouth, as he slowly walked towards Liu Yan.

”You didn’t even call me when you finished.”

Walking up to Liu Yan, Cai Ning’s tone was a bit resentful.

”What’s with this stench?”

Liu Yan shrugged.

”I don’t know either, it wasn’t smelly here at first, but after the fight, it stank to high heaven.”

Hearing this, Ivan suddenly spoke up:

”I know where the smell is coming from.”

”Just now, when I was about to run, I smelled it on the ground over there.”

Ivan pointed to the area he had just smelled.

It was the ground that had been blown open by the Soldiers’ final explosives.

Liu Yan and Cai Ning walked in the direction Ivan was pointing.

”Ugh—!” Cai Ning instantly gagged.

Liu Yan had been smelling it for a while and had somewhat adapted, so he didn’t vomit.

But he still couldn’t help but frown and cover his nose.

”The smell is coming from underground...”

Liu Yan’s eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly took out his portable military radar.

Even before Ivan kidnapped the Soldiers, he had wanted to use the portable military radar to look underground.

Liu Yan placed the portable military radar on the ground and activated it.

The scanning ripples of the portable military radar instantly spread out, covering a radius of five kilometers.

However, after the scan, everyone present, including the Soldiers, gasped in unison.
