"The anesthetic injected into you should only make your body immobile, not even able to speak!" John walked up to the other person, squatted down, and looked at her with a smile.
"I can speak, I just don't know what to say!" Shizuku blinked and opened her mouth.
"Well, let me ask you now, are you willing to leave the Phantom Troupe and join our team? Also, let me remind you that except for you, everyone else in the Phantom Troupe has been killed by us. If you refuse, then we have no choice but to kill you too!"
John had a smile on his face, but his words were very straightforward.
[End Phantom Troupe] 11/12.
This is the progress of this main achievement.
The display of 11/12 not only means that Shizuku is now the only one left to complete this main line achievement, but the number 12 on the right also represents the true nature of the Phantom Troupe.
The full complement of the Phantom Troupe is thirteen, but obviously, because Hisoka only pretended to join, the system did not include him in the Phantom Troupe.
Similarly, John did not kill Shizuku directly, but gave her a choice to exit the Phantom Troupe, which was also an attempt based on Hisoka's situation.
If Shizuku chooses to quit the Phantom Troupe, and the system's main line achievement is reduced by one more person, then everyone will be happy, and it will be the best outcome.
But if Shizuku is unwilling to quit, or the system does not accept it after quitting, then John can only deal with her.
He will try, naturally because he cherishes talents.
Shizuku's ability has great potential. If she can be included, it will undoubtedly strengthen the team.
Of course, it does not rule out that Shizuku's appearance and figure play a certain role in this.
John never denied that he was a very superficial man.
Individuals like Shizuku are very appealing to him, and her abilities are not bad, so naturally, he doesn't mind keeping them in his own group.
When John gave his choice, Steve and Mia, as well as Delilah standing on John's shoulders, stared at Shizuku closely.
It seems that as long as Shizuku answers incorrectly, three people, no, it should be two people and one beast, will immediately act, creating a strong sense of oppression.
"Ah? Are the captain and the others dead?"
When Shizuku heard that the others had been killed, some changes finally appeared on her face, with a surprised expression on her delicate and pure face.
Then she sighed again and said helplessly: "There's nothing we can do about it. Since others have already done this, well, I agree to your request and am willing to join your team!"
Seeing Shizuku's reaction, both Steve and Mia's eyes flickered.
"This woman's character is indeed very weird. She reacted like this when her companion died. Is it because she hides it too deeply, or is she born with weak emotions, or is she used to this kind of life and death..." Steve thought secretly in his heart.
Needless to say, the first two speculations go without saying. As for the last one, Steve knew that the people in the Phantom Troupe were all from Meteor City, and it was not surprising that the phantoms from Meteor City would behave like this.
Mia also speculated silently, looking at Shizuku.
If you're just used to life and death, it's actually okay, but if you are the first two, you have to be more prepared.
If you hide it too deeply, you may be pretending to give in, and it is very likely that something will happen later.
It is not good to be weak in nature. If a team has no emotional connection, it will be like an attic in the sky, which will collapse with the slightest push from an external force.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the [End Phantom Troupe] achievement. Rewards: [Crystal Contract], [Sun and Moon Body Refining Technique], and [Fairy Bean].
While Steve and Mia were each thinking, on John's side, when Shizuku gave a reply, the system notification sounded in his mind.
"Successful!" The expression on John's face remained unchanged, but he was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that his attempt was successful.
"Let me see how the rewards are this time." With anticipation, John focused his attention on the system to check the rewards he received this time.
[Crystal Contract]: A special contract born from a mysterious place. The contract is in the form of one master and multiple slaves. The male is the master and the female is the slave. Signing the contract can produce four effects.
1: The slave will not be able to betray the master, otherwise the soul will be eroded by the contract!
2: Both the master and the slave can obtain a 100% increase in cultivation talents!
3: The master can sense the position and status of the slave and summon them to his side!
4: The master can acquire a characteristic from the slave!
[Sun-Moon Unity Body Training Method]: A powerful body-training method inherited from a certain world.
It is divided into a daily chapter, a monthly chapter, and a unified chapter.
The two chapters of the sun and moon are for men and women to practice separately.
The daily chapter can make the practitioner's body shape.
While masculine and strong, the moon chapter can make the practitioner's figure feminine and slender, and the combined chapter is a chapter for both men and women to practice together.
[Fairy Bean]: This magical bean can instantly restore your body to its best condition after eating it!
~The reward this time is quite generous!" After checking the reward status, John was startled, and then he was filled with surprise, or surprise.
The three rewards, starting with the [Fairy Beans] whose source can be determined, are definitely not an exaggeration to describe as a second life, and their value is unquestionably high.
Then there is [Crystal Contract].
"Crystal Contract... This name is very distinctive, and the information introduced is also very detailed. In addition to the second effect, both the master and the slave can benefit, the other three are basically beneficial to the master. However, this is also in my interests!"
[Crystal Contract] has four effects. Starting from the first effect, the slave cannot betray the master after signing the contract.
John is naturally in the position of the master.
Like Shizuku right now.
As Steve and Mia could think of, John naturally also thought of being cautious.
Unlike Steve and Mia, who have grown up together with him since childhood and have a deep enough relationship, or the Delilah that is rewarded by the system, after absorbing Shizuku, loyalty undoubtedly needs to be paid attention to.
But with the first effect of [Crystal Contract], there is no need to worry about loyalty anymore. As long as he signs the contract, he doesn't have to worry about Shizuku betraying him.
