"Yuan Shiyi, you are so slanderous!"
Shi Tiexin said angrily: "I, Shi Tiexin, have always been aboveboard in doing things. How have I ever done the dirty things you said? You are framing me!"
At the same time, he glanced around and looked at the Iron Guard members behind him, as if seeking support.
"Captain, I can prove that Tie Xin is definitely not the kind of person Yuan Shiyi said. This guy just wants to step on Tie Xin and get into power. You must not believe his slander!"
"Yes, Shi Tiexin has never even touched a woman's hand. He once said that he has dedicated his life to His Majesty the Sea Wolf King. How could he do such immoral things?"
"Master Captain, this corpse demon has ulterior motives. He might become a time bomb at any time. I suggest that he be eliminated immediately!"
After all, I am a newcomer, and Shi Tiexin and other Iron Guard members have been working together for a long time. Soon, some members stood up to speak for him.
Under the support of the Iron Guard members, Shi Tiexin gradually calmed down, and looked at me with a provocative look, as if to say, this is my territory, what can you do to me?
During this period, the Captain of the Iron Guard remained calm. It was not until the shouts of the Iron Guard members stopped that he turned his attention to me.
"Yuan Shiyi, can you take responsibility for what you said?"
I smiled lightly: "Of course, if what I just said is half-truth, let the leader do whatever he wants!"
The captain of the Iron Guard nodded, then closed his eyes slightly and said nothing, seemingly lost in thought.
The sound of needle dropping could be heard throughout the underground space, and all the members of the Iron Guard looked nervous, waiting for the leader's final judgment.
After more than ten seconds, the captain of the Iron Guard slowly opened his eyes and smiled at me.
"Yuan Shiyi, congratulations, you successfully passed the test!"
I had expected the words of the Captain of the Iron Guard, so I was not surprised at all. However, the other members of the Iron Guard were all in extreme shock.
No one seemed to have expected that the group leader would actually be on my side. Could it be that what I just said was true?
Especially Tie Shixin, after being shocked, he pointed at me and said loudly: "Master, you must not believe this person's words. He is slandering me..."
"Tie Shixin, do you really think that this captain knows nothing about what you are doing?"
The captain of the Iron Guard's eyes were like lightning, like a sharp knife thrust into Iron Heart's body. He was so frightened that he trembled all over and couldn't even speak clearly.
"Master Captain, I, I..."
The captain of the Iron Guard waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say more, my captain naturally knows it in his heart."
"Anyone who can join the Iron Guard will naturally undergo a careful background investigation. The past experience of each of you is clearly known to the leader of the regiment."
"You can deceive others, but do you really think that this captain knows nothing?"
What the leader of the Iron Guard said was equivalent to a public admission that what I just said was completely correct, and that Iron Heart deliberately concealed his past.
Upon seeing this, Tie Shixin knew that he could no longer quibble, so he knelt down with a bang, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy from the leader of the Iron Guard.
"Captain, yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"
"The things I did in the past were indeed not honorable, so I deliberately concealed them, but I was loyal to His Majesty the Sea Wolf King and never dared to have second thoughts!"
The captain of the Iron Guard said nonchalantly: "Okay, okay, when did my commander say that I would punish you?"
"This regiment leader once said that as long as you have enough ability and the desire to serve His Majesty, that is enough. As for what you have done, that is not within the scope of my regiment leader's consideration."
"Since you have joined the Iron Guard, you are one of us. Naturally, my leader will not pursue anything against you."
When Tie Shixin heard this, he took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you, Captain, for your kindness. Shi Xin will definitely live up to everyone's expectations and swear to the death to repay the kindness of Lord Captain!"
Iron Heart said with gratitude on his face.
The leader of the Iron Guard smiled and nodded, then waved his hand, and Iron Stone Heart stood up and stepped aside.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. I originally thought that the leader of the Iron Guard would severely punish Iron Heart, which would change my view of the Sea Wolf clan.
Now it seems that I still think too much.
For the captain of the Iron Guard and even the Sea Wolf King, no matter whether these subordinates are good or bad or what their character is, as long as they can serve them and help consolidate their rule, they don't care who they recruit.
At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little worried about the methods of the Iron Guard leader.
These members of the Iron Guard deliberately concealed their past, thinking that the cover-up was perfect. Unexpectedly, everything was already under the control of the Iron Guard leader.
So has he also figured out my true identity?
It shouldn't be possible.
I shook my head secretly and quickly abandoned the idea that just came up.
Strictly speaking, my current identity as a zombie demon is not a cover-up, but a true identity that I already possess.
It's just that now, I can switch freely between a living person, a corpse demon, and an unsinkable corpse. Each identity is just one side of me, and it is impossible for the Iron Guard leader to see it.
Besides, most of the other members of the Iron Guard are nearby sirens, so detailed background checks can be conducted.
And I come from the distant Chinese continent. As long as I don’t tell myself, it’s impossible for people in Siren City to know about my past.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Yuan Shiyi, follow me now."
While I was immersed in my thoughts, the captain of the Iron Guard gave me an order and walked towards a dark corner alone.
"yes!"
I responded and hurried over.
After walking to the corner of the underground space, the captain of the Iron Guard found a raised rock and pressed it hard.
Rumble—
With a loud noise, the rock formations in front of me split to two sides, and a dim passage appeared in my sight.
The passage is narrow and long, extending to unknown depths, and looks extremely eerie.
"go in."
The captain of the Iron Guard pointed at the dark passage and said to me.
I nodded and took a step forward.
Unexpectedly, when I stepped on it, I stepped directly into a pool of deep water!
The water in the pool was freezing cold and soon reached my knees. I turned around in a hurry to exit, but saw the captain of the Iron Guard behind me, staring at me.
"Don't look back, keep moving forward."
Under the gaze of the captain of the Iron Guard, I had no choice but to take a deep breath, continue to swim in the waist-deep pool, and walk forward slowly.
Because there was darkness in the passage, I couldn't see clearly what was going on under the water. I could only hold on to the cave wall and carefully waded through the pool, moving forward slowly.
