There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

After hearing the Tin Man's question, Holhaiya did not answer. She just raised her head and looked at the sky.

It was already late at night, with two moons hanging in the sky, and a few stars scattered here and there.

"In places where there aren't any tall buildings yet, you can really see the starry sky more clearly~"

"Do you think Luke has hidden on the star-like mountain? If that's the dream, there's no way any of us can find her, right?"

"Horhaiya..."

Hearing the other party's words which were almost nonsense, the Tin Man's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"You entered the library two months ago."

"I'm a historian. Isn't it my job to go to the library?"

"But you entered Melander's 'library', and I don't remember approving this operation."

The Tin Man raised his head, and his face, hidden in the shadow of his hat brim, gradually emerged.

If he hadn't had the urge to look through the library's "borrowing records", he wouldn't even have noticed that Holhaiya had actually been in there once.

It seems... Colombia and the Ministry of Defense are not the only ones who are corrupt...

"You know, I can't help but be curious."

Even though his "secret" was revealed to his face, Horhaiya did not feel embarrassed at all.

She stood there, the smile on her face becoming increasingly strange.

"Like now?"

Feeling the strange feeling in his chest, Tin Man Weekend said.

"Boss...Sir, please allow me to ask the question I've been most curious about."

"what is the problem?"

"Apart from the smoke you exhale, where does the smoke that enters your body go?"

"Is that why you're pressing your tail against my chest?"

Listening to the crackling sound coming from his ears, the Tin Man understood that it was the sound of his body's protective spell gradually breaking.

With Holhaiya's current movements, it would probably take decades to break his body's defense.

So he didn't care much.

"Do you know? On you, I smell my favorite scent, and it's called history~"

The corners of his lips widened, and Holhaiya's smile gradually became perverted.

Likewise, her tail was also constantly exerting force.

"If I could, I really want to take you apart and carefully examine every part of your body. Hmm, let me think, where should I start?"

"Your head? Your chest? Your limbs?"

The spell's protection was constantly wailing. Obviously, Holhaiya's power had been exerted to a terrifying level.

If the protection is removed, his chest will be pierced in an instant.

The Tin Man had no doubt of this fact.

But...Holhaiya is his old subordinate after all, so...

"Holhaiya, do you really think betraying the Melander Foundation... is the right choice?"

"Of course... no~"

With a playful smile, Holhaiya said: "Melande holds the most secrets in this country, and in Colombia, secrets can be exchanged for wealth."

"But secrets are also weapons that kill."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

The breeze passed by her ears, playfully lifting a few strands of hair on Hor Haiya's temples.

Quetzalcoatl reached out and tucked them behind his ears.

"It took me three years to qualify for the Historical Society, and another three years to gain your trust."

"Do you know what six years means to me?"

"What does it mean?"

"My identity as Agent Melander is... equivalent to one-seventh of my life."

"Then you shouldn't waste your time in jail or on the run."

The dead souls broke free from the fetters of the feathered serpent, and the most ancient power from the Sarkaz began to emerge.

The Tin Man stretched his body and repaired the wound on his chest, but he did not take action immediately.

After all, he was his subordinate, so he could still afford to give him time to say his last words.

"I know, I know..."

"But what's the point of living another ten years or just one second if the time left isn't enough for me to embrace the secrets I've always dreamed of?"

"Meilander will not allow anyone, especially a defected agent, to touch secrets that should not be touched."

The hem of his coat moved without wind, and a lavender spell began to surround the Tin Man.

"It's a pity that in the last minute of your life, you only saw me."

Volume 9: Chapter 72: Capsize in the Ditch

The most primitive spell fluctuations began to surge.

This is not a new life brought by Originium, but the most ancient power on this land, its name is - Tikaz!

With a slight raise of his right hand, the surging source of magic followed the guidance of the Tin Man and rushed towards Holhaiya. The lavender light gathered, bringing a brand new experience to the feathered serpent.

"What a strange spell... As expected, you have a lot of knowledge in your head that I'm curious about..."

The hurricane roared and blocked the Tin Man's attack. Holhaiya took a few steps back and distanced himself from the Tin Man.

Just as she stood firm, the wind wall that blocked the spell was instantly shattered, and the lavender spell flow continued to hit Holhaiya with its power undiminished.

So cool...

Xiren's personal ability far exceeded Horhaiya's expectations. She didn't expect that her old boss was usually low-key and looked like a lazy fish, usually helping people find cats and dogs.

So he's actually so powerful in private?

It seems... the original plan is no longer viable. Trying to take him down by myself is nothing but a pipe dream...

Fortunately, I have a plan B.

Listening to the roar of machinery beside his ears, Holhaiya smiled implicitly.

She naturally wouldn't come alone. Her limited lifespan had made her cautious. If she dared to come and take off the Tin Man's head, then she would have to let me complete this "mission".

The noise of the surrounding machinery seemed extremely harsh, and the confrontation between the two men continued. Gradually, the whistling sound of the wind gradually replaced the mechanical noise in the Tin Man's ears.

At the same time, a unique melody quietly blended into the noise.

Just like a drop of ink dipping into the ocean, it is so inconspicuous, but its color has indeed entered the ocean.

The Tin Man who was entangled by Holhaiya did not notice this special rhythm. He just wanted to quickly get rid of his treacherous subordinate and then apologize.

But the difficulty of Holhaiya's ability was beyond his imagination, and the battle between the two was prolonged.

Gradually, the Tin Man felt a sense of powerlessness in his body.

It's like rust is starting to form in the joints, and every movement requires more strength.

The Tin Man immediately noticed something was wrong with his body, but...

It's too late.

"Your control of air currents shouldn't affect me... No, this isn't Quetzalcoatl's power."

His body gradually stiffened, and the Tin Man was forced to stand still. Now, even moving was a luxury for him.

"Oh my~ It seems you know me very well~"

Covering his mouth and laughing, Holhaiya seemed a little surprised that the tin man could call out his name.

But then she felt relieved.

Although I concealed my race, if the Tin People couldn't even investigate this, I probably would have no reason to "hunt" him, right?

"But fortunately, I'm not completely ignorant of you. Ordinary Originium techniques obviously can't affect your actions, but..."

"Spell."

He interrupted Holhaiya's words and the Tin Man recognized the spell that imprisoned him.

This is the power of the most ancient Sarkaz witchcraft, the banshee's curse, the spell that imprisons the soul.

His existence was imprisoned from the soul up.

Now it's not his body that is bound, but... his soul!

"Has it been a long time since you last tasted something like this?"

Walking up to the Tin Man, Holhaiya's tail once again touched the Tin Man's chest.

Without the supply from its master, the spell's protection naturally lost its effect, and Holhaiya's tail easily pierced the Tin Man's chest.

"Back when we were deep in the Bone Wasteland investigating the remains of the Sarkaz Royal Court, our Melander Foundation's most outstanding agent suffered an unprecedented life-threatening injury."

"Ahem... I didn't expect... Melander left these files behind."

The Tin Man gave a bitter laugh, his pierced chest crackling with electric sparks.

He had thought of many ways to die, but never thought it would be so funny.

Having my weaknesses exposed by my own people is really...

No one else.

"You don't think I risked my life by sneaking into Melander's top-secret database just for Christen, do you?"

Holding the power of life and death over the Tin people, Horhaiya seemed extremely relaxed and even started chatting with the Tin people.

Just like Xiren’s previous idea, the two of them had been colleagues for six years after all, so she could still give Xiren some time to talk.

"I reminded him that keeping detailed records is not necessarily a good thing."

"Tsk... Look at what you said. Only immortals can have such a long memory. If others want to master more knowledge like you, they naturally have to rely on books."

"Otherwise, how can a short-lived race like ours resist the control of people like you?"

The long tail almost emptied the tin man's chest, and the electronic components inside fell to the ground like garbage.

As Horhaiya spoke from the bottom of his heart, the light in the Tin Man's eyes grew dimmer.

But he still had enough energy to receive news from the outside world. The pain similar to slow slicing could not shake his will. Compared with the raging fire in the furnace, it was nothing.

"Ha... I'm afraid it will take you some time to destroy this body."

Looking at Holhaiya who was attacking his limbs, the Tin Man made a teasing remark.

"I still have these two minutes."

With a smile on his face, Holhaiya concentrated on dismantling the parts of the tin man's body and observing his body structure.

Seeing this, the Tin Man realized that he might not be able to save this body, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to chat.

Moreover, he wanted to talk to the person who trapped him more than to Holhaiya.

"So, you're not going to come out and see me now?"

"Banshee..."

The sound came out from the stiff mouth, penetrated the harsh noise around, and clearly reached her ears hiding in the dark.

The faint whistling sound of a bone flute rang in her heart, and the sorrow from deep in her blood made her take a step forward involuntarily.

When she came to her senses, she was standing in front of the Tin Man.

"I thought you said you didn't want to show up, or am I mistaken?"

Holhaiya, who was busy taking apart the figurine, looked up at the banshee, asked a question, and then lowered his head to continue his work.

"I told you I had no interest in watching you murder your superior, but he..."
