Barry's simple and honest appearance gave Jack an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
There had been people like this around him in the past.
Not good at socializing and growing up in an average environment, so my personality had always been somewhat insecure since childhood.
After growing up, due to poor communication skills, I cannot make many friends.
So when someone treated him a little better, he can pour out his heart and soul.
As a result, after being deceived by a friend he thought he was, he began to doubt the reality, and then immersed himself in the anime world. On Barry's body, this characteristic was extremely obvious.
Especially his excessive empathy, he was able to consider the issue from the perspective of Jack, who killed hundreds of people in X Village.
Seeing Barry like this, Jack's killing intent towards him eased a lot.
However, he didn't completely rest assured and deliberately said, "You're quite magnanimous! Among the people I killed this time, there must be your relatives, right? Don't you want to avenge them?"
Jack stared fixedly at Barry's face.
As long as there was any strange expression on his face, he might take action. Let's get rid of him first!
However, the sudden change of face he had been waiting for did not appear.
Barry just lowered his eyelids and said with a slight sadness, "My parents... both died shortly after the snowstorm."
"My dad had a heart attack on the first day of the sudden drop in temperature. As a result, the snow was too heavy and we couldn't take him to the hospital or find an ambulance, so he died at home."
"And my mother's body was relatively weak, and she died of illness in bed a week later."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to tell you these things. "Barry's face showed a hint of apology.
"After all, there's nothing to be happy about about these things. I'm sorry if it affected your mood."
He smiled naively, his expression somewhat awkward.
After a moment of silence, Jack asked again, "What about the rest of your family? Aren't all the people in X village from the same family?"
"A member of a family? Hmm, I guess so."
Barry's expression was somewhat bewildered, as if he thought there was nothing wrong with this statement, but also had a somewhat puzzled look.
"Although we are of the same clan, no one in our family has ever looked up to me. Perhaps in their eyes, I am just a useless person who only knows how to play computer games at home."
Barry scratched his head with a smile and said, "Look, they've all treated me this way. How much more emotion can I have for them?"
"So, I didn't have any hatred towards you because you killed the people of X village. On the contrary, I quite admire you."
"When you were driving a car and chasing us with a sniper rifle, you were really handsome."
At this point, Barry's eyes lit up as he looked at Jack.
He dreams of being such a handsome hero again!
Let everyone in the village worship him and no longer treat him as a dead and useless house.
Jack stared at Barry for a long time.
And Barry was also particularly nervous in his heart.
Because from beginning to end, he did not have much knowledge about Jack's abilities and could only roughly guess that it was spatial.
But one thing was certain, Jack's ability completely restrained him.
So with the current distance between the two, if they really started a fight, he had no chance of winning!
After a full minute, Jack spoke slowly and said, "Okay, since you came here voluntarily to make peace, then I'll give you a chance."
"I have no interest in your village, and those Muggles can't have much impact on me. But you're a very interesting person, and for the sake of your face, I can give X village a break."
Jack knew very well how to deal with people like Barry.
He was timid, cowardly, and sensitive inside. As long as you gave him some affirmation, he would wholeheartedly treat you.
So we need to be gentle, not coercive.
Sure enough, when Barry heard these words, his heart immediately became excited.
For the sake of his face?
Didn't this mean that he had gained Jack's approval?
It was a great honor for someone as strong as Jack to recognize him!
"Thank you."
Barry said with emotion.
"Don't worry for now! I have other requirements."
"From now on, I need you to obey my orders! You must not resist any of my requests. "Jack continued
Jack still hoped to obtain a subordinate with powerful ice and snow abilities.
Since killing him and the people of X Village wouldn't directly benefit Jack, it's better to sell personal affection to Barry and then recruit him into his army.
Barry hesitated slightly upon hearing this request.
"Any requests?"
This vague concept clearly worried him a bit.
What if Jack set his sights on his butt one day?
Jack also noticed his concern and pursed his lips.
"I won't let you die!"
Keeping Barry was to make him a useful helper when encountering difficult enemies in the future.
Seeing Barry's hesitant expression, Jack pondered for a moment and pulled out his trump card.
The fat house of the two spined ape probably had no resistance to this thing
Jack reached out and took out something from the huge warehouse in the other space, then handed it over.
"Follow me, I won't mistreat you."
Upon hearing this, Barry lifted his head and his eyes couldn't move any further, causing his entire body to tremble with excitement.
"Ayanami Rei!!!"
What Jack took out was an unopened Ayanami Rei figurine.
The 2024 limited edition, with only 50 copies available worldwide, had been hyped up online to 25000 dollars, and had no market value!
For someone as old as Barry, this was simply the most coveted treasure!
Barry looked at Jack in disbelief and pointed to himself, "Is this... is this for me?"
Jack nodded and said, "I have a lot of things like this in my hand. And there are also some rare and entertaining things of a generational level."
"As long as you follow me in the future, I promise to take care of things like figurines, pillows, and game cartridges."
Treat the kind of person with the appropriate means.
For example, Barry, giving him something else might not work, but this thing would definitely make him unable to walk!
Barry rushed over with an "ahu" sound, holding the precious Ayanami Rei figurine in his arms and staring at it with a fiery gaze.
"Jack, so you're also a prickly monkey! Do you like Ellie?"
Barry looked at Jack with an expectant expression.
Jack fell silent for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"I am no longer a child."
Barry's face stiffened, and he lowered his head with a gloomy expression.
"That's right... oh."
Jack sneered and said, "Only a low-level otaku like you would like her! In my heart, Nanase Ren Love is eternal God."
The dim light in Barry's eyes had once again shone brightly.
That's finding the scent of organization.
