Chapter 1653: Lex, master of psychological torture
Lex, sitting comfortably upon Little Blue’s back, looked down at the knight. He was not ignorant of the knights’ existence, naturally. He also knew that the knight claimed to have died once, and to have originated from Earth. But even disregarding whether such things were true or not, Lex knew that getting the knight to cooperatively reveal what he knew would be far from easy.
Of course, just because it was difficult did not mean that Lex would disregard it entirely, which is one of the reasons why he finally stepped forward right now. Well, technically speaking, he was sitting, not stepping forward, but it was all the same.
"I’ve heard you’ve been looking for me. I don’t suppose you’d subscribe to the philosophy of walking and talking, would you? We’re in a bit of a rush to leave."
The army and mech stepped out of the jungle and moved aside. As long as they were outside the jungle, they didn’t mind waiting a bit. After all, their subsequent series of actions had already been decided long ago.
"A funny one," the knight said, his voice sounding not in the least excited at the proposition. "How marvelous. Let me guess, you’re sarcastic too."
Lex raised an eyebrow. He was sensing an awful lot of sass for someone who was hiding his face behind a mask. Or maybe he just felt a little upset at Lex talking down at him. In his defense, Little Blue was the one flying in the air. It wasn’t like Little Blue had legs and could stand on the ground or something.
"Alright, I don’t mind having a little chat here. I can admit I’m a little curious about you, too. We can have a little quid pro quo. As a gesture of good faith, I’ll let you go first. What do you want to talk about?"
"I have a few essential questions to ask about. You see, I died before the end of a few shows I was watching. If you could… if you happen to know how they ended, it would scratch an itch that I’ve had for practical eons."
Lex raised an eyebrow. Eons? Well, considering the strange flow of time here, it was possible.
"Why didn’t you just ask Z? He’s seen Earth shows. But whatever, go ahead. Ask. That’s a simple enough question."
