  Yard, Caucasian, 30 years old. He didn't have a fixed career, but he had been a craftsman, a driver, a clerk, and so on. In these jobs, the one who did the most was actually a thief. This guy was a thief.

  Less than twenty-eight days after her last release, Jane saw him again. Jane could only leave her desk and walk over with the intelligence brain.

  When he saw Jane, Yard revealed a smile that he thought was a handsome man: "Hey, nice to meet you, beautiful Mr. Prosecutor."

  Jane frowned. "I don't like to see you at all. Speak, what did you do this time? "

  The Two Soldiers who caught Yard answered for him: "While this guy was wandering around on the streets, he stole the purse of his neighbor Laon, taking everyone here with him! "Lady."

  "Is that so? It looks like you have to go back and stay in your memories for a period of time, Yard. " Jane shook her head. "Perhaps you should have a long memory. This is not a good thing for you to pay me back, is it?"

  "I will work hard, beautiful woman." After examining the prosecutor from head to toe, Yard said, "It's been a while since we last met, and your figure looks plump again. Amazing."

  "Thanks for your concern. Take him to room 28." Jane said snappily.

  One of the soldiers hesitated, "Your Honor Prosecutor, room 28 holds a warrior with the Doomhammer in custody. "Look …"

  "Dammit, I remember that. But, sir, we don't remember enough. "You want to throw this guy into that group of hooligans' room? I bet that after a quarter of an hour, this guy will be beaten to the point of vomiting blood. That way, we'll have to treat him for free." Jane stressed, "Budget, we don't have that much budget, let alone waste medical expenses on a thief, understand? "Sir!"

  The soldier said, sweating, "Yes, I see."

  Saying that, he and his companion carried Yard and left. Jane looked at them, shaking her head. However, he suddenly thought of a handsome but silent face. Speaking of that, Berrien had already been thrown in here for many days. It was unknown what the higher-ups were thinking. They neither punished him nor released him, as if they had forgotten about him.

  Jane thought she might have to give her head a call. City Guard did not have the budget to provide free medical treatment to thieves like Yard in the first place, so he did not provide free accommodation to the Destroyer Hammer soldiers either. You have to understand that this guy supplies good food every day, and everything is done according to Doomhammer's standards.

  But we are only City Guard, Jane insisted in her heart.

  The beautiful prosecutor frowned in distress, and she decided to focus on the task at hand. However, a moment later, the sound of someone knocking on the table disturbed their attention. Annoyed, she looked up and was surprised to see a handsome face.

  The man in front of her was Asian, with a pair of strange eyes beneath his soft black hair. The black eyes reminded Jane of the most recent legendary man.

  The warrior named Zero, who was also from the Hammer of Destruction, had risen to Holy Spirit not long ago. To Jane, that was a big deal, and even her boss was a class lower than she was.

  Jane quickly stood up and said anxiously, "Is there anything I can do for you? "Sir!"

  He did not expect the woman to have such a huge reaction, and immediately replied: "Nothing much, I just want to ask, if you guys have a person called Berrien locked in here?"

  Jane immediately replied: Berrien? That soldier, he's in room 28. "

  In room 28 of the temporary detention cell, Yard was pushed in by two soldiers. He was small and skinny, almost falling on the ground to eat his food. When Yard stood up, the moment the door closed, it was as if Yard's freedom was also locked outside the door.

  "What are you guys so arrogant for? Wait till this old man comes out to see how I'll teach you guys a lesson. We'll see." After Yard said these harsh words, he felt bored and patted his butt before returning to his room.

  He was already familiar with the dungeon in the City Guard. On average, he would stay there for a few months a year. It could be said that every cell had been used before. It was extremely familiar. Yard was also happy to stay there. After eating, sleep and sleep every day, and after that, eat. This was a treatment only noble masters had, even though Yard had always had some complaints about City Guard's food.

  He turned around and saw that there was someone else in the room. The man he was with was sitting on the edge of his bed, looking rather ostentatious. Even his eyes were lifeless, and there was a lot of stubble on his chin. He looked lifeless, like a living corpse.

  Yard sat on the other bed, feeling bored, he said to the man: "Hey, brother. My name is Yard, how did you get in? "

  It was dead silent across from him. Not only did that person not answer his question, he did not even raise his head. Yard rubbed his nose, but did not believe it. He looked up and down, and finally said: "Your looks are not bad, the clothes you're wearing are normal but not bad. If my guess is right, you should have some status, either a noble or a warrior. "

  "No, no, no. You look lifeless and you have no intention to fight. You shouldn't be a soldier. Are you a noble?" Yard was very confident in his reasoning, and nodded his head: "Let me think, it's enough for a noble to go to this City Guard's dungeon. "You …"

  Yard's face suddenly changed, and said: "You didn't kill anyone right?"

  "You talk a lot." The person finally had a response. He raised his head to look at Yard, and his eyes flashed with a cold light that made Yard's scalp go numb: "But your guess is correct, I did kill someone. Do you want to know who I killed? "

  Yard shook his head fiercely.

  That person ignored him and said bluntly, "I killed my brother. Do you know how he died? I turned him into charcoal, just like this. "

  He raised his hand. There was a large amount of electrical sparks pulsing in his hand, illuminating the room. At the same time, it also caused Yard's face to change greatly, and in the constantly changing light, the person's smile seemed to be extremely crazy.

  Yard suddenly felt that he had offended an incredible person.

  Just then, the room's door opened, and someone outside spoke out: "Enough, Berrien, do you think that your crimes are not enough?"

  Yard turned his head to look, only to see the female prosecutor accompanied by a young military officer walking in. The officer had black hair, and the Asian face had a pair of strange black and gold eyes. When he looked at Yard, all the hair on his body stood up. He shrank deeper into the bed, instinctively wanting to stay away from the officer.

  Yard's intuition told him that this person was a true warrior, his hands were stained with blood!

  "If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving first."

  "Well, please, Your Honor."

  After a simple reply, Jane took her leave. Her heart was still pounding when she left Detention No. 28. Jane even regretted that she had gone too fast on the way here. Otherwise, she would have been able to talk to this handsome young officer for a while longer. You could even set up a date or two, which might be a beautiful encounter.

  "Her heartbeat quickened, and the speed at which her blood flowed was more than two times faster than usual. Su had been stimulated to the brim by her kidney, and all the pores on her body expanded. I can tell she's in love with you. Zero, aren't you going to put her to bed? That would be a waste. " Berrien said coldly: "It's such a waste."

  He took a glance at the skinny man on the bed across from Berrien and asked politely, "Can I sit down?"

  The pressure from before disappeared, but Yard's tongue still remained as flexible as before, and he only stuttered: "Please, please sit."

  He sat down and said to Berrien while looking at him, "You actually have the heart to say such words. It seems like you're in a pretty good mood."

  Berrien shrank back into his bed and hid in the shadows in the corner: "You guessed wrong, right now I'm in a very bad mood. It's bad enough that you want to kill people. If you don't want to get hurt, then get the hell out of here. "

&n
bsp; "Is that so? Speaking of which, I haven't hit anyone in a long time. " Then, he looked at Yard: "The main door isn't locked. If you don't mind, can you stay outside for a while?"

  Yard looked at Su Ling and Berrien, and without saying a word, she rushed out of the detention cell. After he closed the door, a muffled sound came out one after another from the house, causing Yard's heart to tremble.

  Without using any special abilities, with just his physical body and abilities, Zero and Berrien were fighting in the room like kids.

  The punch had landed on Berrien's chin, almost dislocating his jaw. Berrien spat out a mouthful of blood, extended his leg to support his, and directly kicked his onto the bed. The two crawled up, touched their sore spots, and then simultaneously threw themselves at each other. Their fists rained down like rain, and they didn't pay attention to defensive or offensive techniques at all. All they cared about was brute force.

  Only half an hour later, Zero pantingly touched Berrien with his fist in a symbolic manner before rolling to the ground and staring at the ceiling with its large type of word. Gasps could be heard in the room as neither of them had the strength to move.

  After a long while, he rubbed his swollen face and asked, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

  Berrien's face darkened, but after a moment, he laughed bitterly: "You didn't come here specifically to beat me up right?"

  Zero nodded seriously and said, "You're right, I came to beat you up. I know what you did. That Arendt guy, I know what he has done to you. Honestly, if it was me, I would have killed him too. But I'm not going to throw myself in a cell and sulk like you. Berrien, don't you think you're being too willful? "

  "Humph, you don't need to worry about me." Berrien said coldly.

  "Of course I don't want to be involved in your affairs. It's just that I think it's a waste for you to stay in your cell." Zero extended his hand out and said: "Come and help me, Berrien. Think about it, there's a lot of work out there for you to do. Do you want to waste your ability in a cell? Also, I heard your father wanted to bail you out, but you didn't want to. You see, your father still loves you, don't you? Even though you killed your brother. "

  Berrien sneered: "What do you know! That old man only wanted to bail me out because he didn't want his bloodline to be destroyed. The more he thinks this way, the less I want to go out. "

  Looking at him, he sighed, "What are you doing? Warrior? "No, I saw that he was just a willful kid with a bad temper." "… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

  Zero took back his hand and stood up, saying, "Do whatever you want. If you want to continue staying here, I won't stop you." However, Berrien, you should be clear about this yourself. Seeing you like this, does Anna know that he will be happy? "

  Berrien suddenly went silent.

  "Do you think you're the only one who has ties? We all do, but this shitty era cuts these ties off without mercy. Whether we want to or not, so if we don't want a tragedy like your sister's to happen again. All we can do is try to change the world. And for the world to hear us, we have to be strong. But right now, we are far from being enough. If you want to continue to stay, then see you later, Berrien. "

  Zero pushed the door open, causing Yard who was behind to jump in fright. Yard had never thought of taking the chance to slip away, the sudden arrival of Zero seemed to have disrupted his mood. Just as Zero was about to leave, Yard called out to him.

  "No, sir. Sir. You see, the man in the room didn't want to be bailed out, but I did, sir. " Yard patted his chest and said, "As long as you can make me leave this damn place, sir. I'm willing to do anything for you. "

  Su Yun sized Yard up and felt the faint aura of a capable person from his body. Therefore, he shook her head and said: "My job is very dangerous, it's not suitable for you."

  "No, no." Yard pointed to himself and said: "Although I am not good at fighting, but I have the ability to gather information."

  "You?" Zero looked at the man. Honestly, he had no confidence.

  "Listen, sir, big shots like you must have servants. Although I am unable to get close to people like you, even if I can get close to people like you, your mouths are very tight, and I am unable to dig anything out. " Yard said confidently: "But their servants are different, as long as it takes a few spills, they will be willing to tell you what color their master's undergarments are. Of course, they wouldn't know much either. "However, if you have some clues and the right imagination, you will be able to get a lot of useful information, right?"

  After he finished listening to Yard's words, Su Ling looked at this man and asked, "What's your name?"

  "My name is Yard, sir."

  "Alright, Yard." Zero gave his name, then said, "After you leave here, you can come find me, if you are not afraid of death. Of course, all the work I ask of you will be paid, even above it. "

  At first, Yard was overjoyed, but afterwards, he said with a bitter face: "But Sir, why don't you get me out of here right now?"

  "You must have your own reasons for being here. I don't like a man who owes a lot of money to do things for me, so before that, you should pay off your debts here. " Zero smiled.

  "Very well, I'll do as you say, sir." Yard said helplessly, but he was still very excited. From the look on Jane's face when she brought Zero along, Zero, who had caught the attention of the female prosecutor, had other advantages besides his handsome appearance.

  He had also heard some of what he had said to Berrien when they were in the room. In fact, the soundproofing effect of the detention house was far from satisfactory. Judging from the conversation, what Zero was trying to do could be considered a big deal. Even if it wasn't to conquer a country, it was at least a big goal. Doing business with such a person would naturally involve risks, but the risks were always accompanied by the benefits. Yard clearly understood this point.

  Just as he was about to walk back to the holding cell, he was suddenly caught by someone in the back. He looked back and saw Zero reaching out to grab him. Yard was just thinking whether or not Zero had changed his mind and wanted to get him out of here. However, he was not as happy as he was before he was pulled away by Zero.

  The next moment, the entire door of the detention cell flew up, and along with the screws and other sundries that jumped into the air, they slammed heavily onto the opposite wall.

  Yard opened his mouth wide, cold sweat flowing down his back. If it wasn't for Zero, he would have smashed the door. When he looked at the door again, he saw the man who had been fighting with Zero walking out with a menacing look on his face.

  At this time, three guards ran over. Berrien looked at them and said, "Your doors should be changing.

  The guards looked at Berrien, hesitating as to whether they should go up and subdue him. But Berrien had already been here for many days, so the guards more or less knew who he was. For an official member of the Doomhammer, this meant that they had the abilities of at least the sixth step. A person like this was not someone that ordinary soldiers of the second or third step could deal with.

  Fortunately, Zero now pointed at Berrien and said to the guards, "I want to bail him out. As for the items he destroyed, send me the bill."

  Then, he turned to Berrien and said: "I'll help you deposit the money first, in the future, deduct it from your salary."

  Berrien snorted through his nose and said, "How much is my monthly salary?"

  Zero pushed Yard and then turned around to leave, but he still raised a finger.

  "A thousand?" Zero, this is a bit low. Although I don't mind lowering my price for the sake of ideals. But no matter what, I am still a member of the Doomhammer, so I think 2000 is more appropriate. " Berrien said as he followed him.

  Zero stopped and corrected, "Before the company is on track, you can only cut back on all the unnecessary expenses. Since you said the ideal, then you must have the will to sacrifice your life f
or it. So you misunderstood my meaning just now, Berrien. It's not a thousand, it's a hundred, that's all I can pay for now. "

  Berrien's face flushed red, and after a moment he roared: A hundred? What do you think I am, Zero? A handyman? I am a warrior, a powerhouse of the seventh step! I am the Hand of Thunder, zero! "You'll just send me off with a hundred?"

  Zero put his hands in his pockets and said, "Let's go. The bail procedure is so long. I still have other things to do."

  Seeing that Zero completely ignored his anger, Berrien clenched his fists. Only when Zero had turned the corner of the corridor did he let go and let out a final roar, "If it's a hundred, then it's a hundred. The rest will be my investment in labour. Zero, I want a bonus! A dividend! "

  Hearing Berrien's angry voice, Zero smiled slightly.

  The first principle of capitalism is to exploit as much of one's employees as possible.

  In his mind, Zero thought of Ben's old face, smiling like a fox.

  Chapter 368 - Borrowing species

  Inside the five meter tall culture tank, the rear of the glass was filled with a dark green liquid. From time to time, a series of bubbles would rise and die, as if demonstrating the ephemeral trajectory of life.

  Life was indeed short. Even though the lifespan of humans was already high at the top of the gene chain, a life of seven to eight hundred years or even hundreds of years could still be described as' dying like the morning dew 'in the eyes of nature. And with the advent of the Cataclysm, the lifespan of a special species which was not very longevity in the first place was directly shortened by nearly half.

  However, this was only true for ordinary people. As for this shackle, it had no effect on those who had the ability to use it. The lifespan of a capable person was usually around two times that of an ordinary person, while a high-ranked person could have five times or more life expectancy. At the very least, when Agladis helped him unravel the mystery of the universe and found out that energy was the source of the universe, the lifespan of zero could no longer be measured using instruments.
