This guy is indeed a little interesting.
"Alright, let's not talk about these meaningless things," Xiu Nuo said with a smile, "Come on, tell me what you all know. Don't even think about lying, I can tell."
"I've figured that out too," Jonas sighed, "You must be a spy. I can't think of any other identity for you. Don't worry Mr. Spy, I'm a criminal myself, I won't report you. Perhaps there's a chance for us to cooperate."
Seeing Xiu Nuo's hand on the trigger, Jonas quickly said, "Hey, calm down, I mean, I will definitely tell you everything I know, and by the way, I have no grudge against you!"
Saying this, Jonas recounted everything he knew.
The expression on Xiu Nuo's face turned quite spectacular after listening.
He realized something—that the people in this world seem to be quite educated.
Damn these fragments of memory, why is it that there's never any recollection of such issues.
In Xiu Nuo's understanding, mortals, apart from forensic doctors and constables, how could they know so much about corpses?
"So, was it you who messed up my plans?" Xiu Nuo looked at Jonas.
Jonas immediately said, "Believe me, sir! At first, we just wanted to find you guys and figure out what exactly happened there! I didn't know the people were killed by you! If I had known, I would have bought a plane ticket and flown back home overnight! I would never have gotten involved in this!"
Xiu Nuo found this guy a bit interesting.
He had intended to just ask and then kill him, but now, he suddenly felt that this guy could be useful.
"So," Jonas said helplessly, "if I must die, could you at least tell me why those people turned into mummies? This totally overturns everything I've learned in the past thirty years! I feel like I went to college for nothing!"
Xiu Nuo laughed, "How about this—I'll give you a chance. Tell me a few reasons why I shouldn't kill you."
Jonas's eyes immediately lit up, "A wise choice sir, first off, I can help you out of this crisis."
"I can handle it myself."
"You're planning to go to America, right? Trust me, with my help, life in America will be much simpler for you."
"Without your help, I should be fine too."
"I can be that guide. My skills and connections are way above those people! That guy taking you to America, even if everything goes smoothly, you'll still have to spend at least a month in Border Prison! No offense, sir, but with your looks, you're definitely going to be those Mexicans' cream puff in there!"
"You think I'd be afraid of that?"
Hearing this, Jonas's face changed colour, and after thinking carefully, he said cautiously, "If you're into that, I can help you find some, have you heard of the American booty, sir?"
Xiu Nuo immediately felt a headache building, "I'm starting to think you're worthless."
"I can prevent you from being deported!" Jonas quickly blurted out, "Trust me, that's something those damned snakeheads and middlemen definitely can't ensure!"
"Deported?"
"Yes, deported! If America doesn't want you, they will send you back to your country."
Sent back to that mysterious Eastern great nation?
Damn it! There's no memory of this either!
Good thing he asked.
Xiu Nuo put away the gun and looked at Jonas, "You want to know how they turned into mummies, right?"
"It seems you've already made up your mind," Jonas took a deep breath, "Please enlighten my ignorance."
Xiu Nuo pulled him out of the car and then looked at the corpse in front of them before placing his hand on the guy's forehead.
At the next moment, under Jonas's astonished gaze, the corpse began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he truly saw the fresh blood converge in Xiu Nuo's palm and get absorbed by him!
However, Xiu Nuo only did it halfway before he looked at Jonas, "Do you understand now?"
"Black... black magic!" Jonas's voice changed, "There really is black magic in this world!"
"What else did you expect?" Xiu Nuo clapped Jonas on the shoulder, and a strand of Ghostly Vicious Energy along with a drop of black blood burrowed into his body.
"You can squat down and take a look," Xiu Nuo said.
Jonas certainly didn't want to pass up this opportunity. As he tried to squat down, he found himself completely unable to move.
After several attempts, he realized he couldn't control his own body at all. He looked at Xiu Nuo in shock, "What did you do?"
"What do you think?" Xiu Nuo spoke faintly, "Now you can squat down."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jonas felt his body relax, and he found control over it had returned to him.
Xiu Nuo continued, "If I wanted to, I could make you kill yourself. Do you believe that?"
"I believe!!" The supernatural force before his eyes made Jonas sober up instantly, "I definitely believe you, sir! Please don't do that!"
Xiu Nuo looked at the complex expression on Jonas's face, a bit puzzled, "You seem very reluctant."
"Not towards you, sir." Jonas's tone carried deep despair, "My reluctance is because... the Diego I've always looked down on, that idiot... what he said turned out to be true! It's a bit hard for me to accept!"
Having said that, Jonas added resentfully, "I swear I will never mess with an Easterner again in my life!"
After speaking, he looked at Xiu Nuo, "So, sir, does the devil really exist in this world?"
"Maybe," Xiu Nuo replied.
Jonas's face turned white, "Then there is also God, right?"
"Who knows."
Upon hearing this, Jonas hastily made the sign of the cross over his chest and muttered, "Please forgive my ignorance, I sincerely ask for Your forgiveness for what I've said earlier..."
Xiu Nuo was somewhat helpless.
In his own world, after he showed off he was a Cultivator, these mortals should be kneeling down and begging for mercy from an immortal by now.
And this fellow in front of him... who was he confessing to again?
Once Jonas finished his confession, he looked at Xiu Nuo, took a deep breath, and asked earnestly, "If I follow you, sir, what can I gain? Please give me an offer I can't refuse, to make up my mind to cooperate with a devil. Forgive me for addressing you that way, as I really can't imagine an angel... sucking a person dry like a husk."
At these words, Xiu Nuo laughed even more cheerfully. He liked people with desires.
Even more so, he liked smart people with desires, because such people knew what they wanted.
Xiu Nuo reached out and grabbed the car door, then applied force with his hand.
With a clang, the car door was directly pulled off by Xiu Nuo, followed by a powerful fling, embedding the door into the nearby brick wall.
"If you're willing, you could do this too. Do you know why I want to go to America? Because there, I am the true Hunter."
"Superhero?" Jonas raised an eyebrow, then burst out laughing, "No, I quite like the idea of a super criminal. Besides, there definitely aren't any superheroes there, now I understand why you want to go to America."
"So?"
Jonas took a deep breath, then surprisingly knelt on one knee, "Jonas offers you the utmost respect and loyalty. I will dedicate my utmost efforts to your cause, boss!"
