Chapter 409: Waiting in the Rose, the responsibility of being the leader

"Let's just end it all with battle."

Although I had known that the final result would be like this, Huo Zhengqing did not draw his sword immediately, but asked unwillingly, "Do you really want to make a decision? I can promise that as long as I hand over Huo Zhihuo to me, I will not touch others, and everyone can leave safely. Even Ziwei's daughter, Zuo Xinlan."

Feeling that Chu Yu's injuries had recovered almost, Chen Xiaoming did not continue to talk, "I have to say that your concessions are really big, but do you think I will agree?"

"Of course you won't." Huo Zhengqing was not angry when he heard Chen Xiaoming's words directly refused. He stroked the sword body and turned his head to look at Huo Zhihuo disdainfully, "But Huo Zhihuo, at this point, are you still going to continue watching the fun next to you? You are the employer.

Or, you don't really think you can beat me by yourself.

I admit that everyone has some special abilities in the helpers you have found. This violent girl is very powerful, and the leader’s “machine armor” is also very strong.

But not, it is far from enough.

In front of the crimson rose, your strength is not worth mentioning!

Huo Zhihuo, I'm not afraid to tell you that this crimson rose is a star prop! And it's not those ambiguous one-star props that only have some special abilities.

It is two-star! It has more than just special abilities, but also infinite power.

Under the infinite power of the crimson rose, the flower corpse man is invincible.

Don’t think you can defeat my flower corpse just because you were lucky enough to escape from the pursuit of the flower corpse and escaped a disaster.

That's just because I have some other things to do and have not taken care of for a while. Although I am unwilling to admit the result of letting them act freely, the flower corpse man's self-action ability is indeed a bit poor.

But now it is different. I can tell you that since I am back, under my control, the combat power of the Flower Corpse Man will be a hundred times higher!

If you really continue to be obsessed with it, the possibility of survival is zero.

How about it, Senior Brother Huo Zhihuo, although I have always hated you, I think you are still a person who dares to act and behave. Don’t let me look down on you.

Now, it's time for you to make a choice.

It is to continue to be the same as before, for the sake of your own selfish desires, and to implicate others to accompany you to hell.

It’s still like a man, taking on all this with his own shoulders. He exchanged his life for these people and Ziwei’s daughter’s name.

I think I don’t need to say more about how to choose.

Brother Huo Zhihuo, now you can choose, I can wait for you for one minute in the last time..."

After Huo Zhengqing finished speaking, suddenly, six rose flowers flew into the sky like their hands. The rose flowers shook in the air and scattered into rose petals. Each of them had 10 pieces, a total of sixty crimson petals floating quietly in the air.

Then, one piece after another, the petals slowly fell, and they fell one after another in a second.

In the blink of an eye, seven seconds passed, and seven rose petals also fell.

After doing all this, Huo Zhengqing didn't even look at it, so she narrowed her eyes and just hugged Huo Ziwei's shoulder and stopped talking.

Looking at the rose petals that were still falling slowly in the sky, Chen Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Huo Zhengqing was really not an ordinary person and deserved the reputation of a genius.

There is no doubt that this is a trick to attack the heart!

The seemingly casual chat between Chen Xiaoming and Huo Zhengqing actually has their own goals. Chen Xiaoming was to buy Chu Yu some short time to recover from his injuries and to deal with the subsequent battle. However, Huo Zhengqing was just the opposite. His goal from the beginning was Huo Zhihuo, and he planned to defeat others without fighting.

In Huo Zhengqing's casual chat, he repeatedly reminded Huo Zhihuo either openly or secretly, or irresponsibly. All of this is your fault.

Huo Zhengqing has never concealed his disgust towards Huo Zhihuo, and at the same time it has constantly hit Huo Zhihuo's psychology, making him feel guilty and even began to feel disgusted by himself.

What he said and his actions were all about laying the groundwork for his final words.

Finally, in the most clever way, Huo Zhihuo was left with a path to atonement, leaving Huo Zhihuo nowhere to choose.

At this time, Huo Zhengqing seemed to be no longer the cruel murderous devil, but instead became a missionary who guided the light!

But just as missionaries are often madmen and hypocrites who do everything they want to do, these two paths that seem to be available are actually dead ends.

One of them is that according to Huo Zhengqing's hint, he finally chose to choose "like a man, exchange his own life for others' lives." If so, regardless of whether Huo Zhengqing decides to let others go, Huo Zhihuo's life can at least be easily taken.

Even if Huo Zhihuo is determined and he refuses to choose this path, Huo Zhengqing will not suffer any loss. Instead, it will cause a crack in the relationship between Huo Zhihuo and several others.

In this way, he has more late moves to use, and Huo Zhihuo's final outcome is much worse than now.

If it is an ordinary person, no, if Huo Zhihuo is still the fool who is addicted to dreams in Huo Zhengqing's memory, he will definitely be fooled.

Yes, Huo Zhengqing still underestimates Huo Zhihuo too much, and Chen Xiaoming too much.

There was no problem with Huo Zhengqing's approach, and it could even be said to be quite insidious, but he was too naive. Although Chen Xiaoming thought so in his heart, he was eager to tell Huo Zhengqing immediately, "You don't have to use this trick. Huo Zhihuo is my friend, I will help him." He was unable to take any action.

It's too early to make a statement now.

Although when Yu was injured by Huo Ziwei, for Ye Die Thief, the fight had to be fought. The reason why he even said so much to Huo Zhengqing was not for Huo Zhihuo, but for other reasons.

But at this time, Chen Xiaoming could not stand up and support Huo Zhihuo.

They are just hired people and will only do things according to Huo Zhihuo's requirements. They will never do such extra things as being stronger and making a name for themselves.

Therefore, Chen Xiaoming could only wait and wait for Huo Zhihuo's answer.

As Huo Zhengqing said, it is time to have an answer.

The relationship between Ye Die Thief and Huo Zhihuo is actually very subtle. Huo Zhihuo can be said to have saved Ye Die Thief's life, but the relationship between the two is a mission relationship.

In the new world, task relationships can be said to be the most common and safest relationship, because the perfect task center system allows such relationships to be established, modified and ended very easily. At the same time, a complete hierarchical system based on [protection level] almost gives people no chance of default.

But no matter how perfect it is, after all, in the astral world, this relationship is still just a cooperative relationship, not a friendship relationship.

But when this relationship gets mixed in with friendship, things get more complicated.

Obviously, the relationship between Ye Die Tuo and Huo Zhihuo is not so simple.

Back to the employment mission of Ye Die Thieves and Huo Zhihuo, since Huo Zhihuo saved Ye Die Thieves' life and could be said to be the benefactor of Ye Die Thieves, Chen Xiaoming and Huo Zhihuo still trust each other, so they did not set up mission protection measures.

But this trust should not be infinite, especially after replacing the escort mission with a more dangerous trip to Xianwu Ridge, this task without protection measures becomes even more fragile.

In other words, if emotional reasons are excluded, both parties can terminate the task at any time.

Of course, it is not completely free. This termination must be based on the premise of recognition by the task center. Otherwise, the party who terminates the task early will be punished by implicit points or credit within the task center.

But now it is different. Due to the occurrence of a series of situations, the risk and complexity of the task have long exceeded Chen Xiaoming and Huo Zhihuo's original expectations. For such a situation, according to the general rules of the task center, no party will be punished with points for termination of the task.

In other words, now, Chen Xiaoming can terminate the mission relationship between Ye Die Thief and Huo Zhihuo at any time. In contrast, Huo Zhihuo can also do it.

They had to make choices at the same time and make their own decisions in these scattered petals.

Half of the petals fell, Chen Xiaoming was extremely anxious.

Not long ago, Chen Xiaoming said this as the leader of the group, "We Yedie Thieves are only on his side because they are hired by Huo Zhihuo."

He cannot break his promise, which will cause the team's credibility to be damaged.

Although he would not voluntarily terminate the task relationship out of love, if Huo Zhihuo finally chose to give up, he could not insist on saving him. Even if he was unwilling, he could only watch Huo Zhihuo choose to die.

At most, it is to avenge Huo Zhihuo after his death.

Therefore, we have to admit that Huo Zhengqing is brilliant. On the one hand, he wins over Chen Xiaoming, and on the other hand, he only points the finger at Huo Zhihuo, which will continue to intensify this contradiction and may even break the task relationship that was already fragile.

This is an open conspiracy, Huo Zhihuo can see it, and Chen Xiaoming can see that as long as others have a little understanding of the rules of the mission center, they can probably find a little problem.

However, that's the truth.

Just like a trap in a thread of sky, you can't go around, you can only cross it!

The key to this debate is completely grasped in Huo Zhihuo's hands. Ye Dieth cannot make a choice on his own initiative unless Chen Xiaoming ignores these and helps him unilaterally at all costs.

But Chen Xiaoming knew that he could not do this, so he had to hesitate and weighed, because he is now the leader of Ye Dieth, and two friends (Dongfang Jing and Zi Lanna) were innocently involved in this incident.

The huge burden Chen Xiaoming carries prevents him from making irresponsible choices at will. Yes, like Huo Zhihuo, when Huo Zhengqing gave the conditions to ensure everyone's safety, Chen Xiaoming was also forced to the dead end.

Maybe it's not considered ungrateful, but whether it's cold-blooded or ruthless, at this moment, although Chen Xiaoming was extremely anxious, he was still standing there expressionlessly, waiting for Huo Zhihuo's answer.
