Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1107 Confession (Part 1)

"Is this a threat?" The Divine Man then let out a cold laugh, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became tense.

Unbeknownst to them, the people at the scene split into two factions: one side decided to back down and bear the losses, while the other side wanted to eliminate the root cause and restore order as soon as possible.

Xia Shou looked at the people standing in such a precarious position and held his breath.

He personally hoped that these people would join him in dealing with the abnormal entities that had not yet been completely eradicated, but at the same time he knew that this was not something that could be done by mere words; the current situation was a delicate game of strategy.

Admittedly, those who want to go to the back mountain seem to be stronger, but they also have to consider that if those who want to leave actually make a move, they will inevitably lose some of their fighting strength. Even if they win, it will reduce their chances of defeating Angang Heiyue.

Those who want to leave have taken this into account, which is why they dare to confront each other like this.

The competition between the two sides boils down to their ability to withstand psychological pressure.

Xia Shou can decide the outcome of this game at any time, because as long as he takes a side, the balance of power will overwhelmingly tilt in his favor. The reason he hasn't made a statement yet is that he hopes the person leaving can make their own decision and go to the back mountain.

Because even the smallest act of solidarity can enhance overall combat effectiveness.

If we can achieve the desired result with less coercion, that would be ideal.

Since that's the case... let's impose a slight risk of loss on it.

Xia Shou walked to the middle of the two sides and addressed the few who wanted to leave, saying, "If I wanted to, probably none of you could leave. However... I also know that forced relationships are never happy, and if you're not of one mind, things will go wrong on the battlefield."

And the idea of ​​simply wanting to live a little longer is not wrong in itself, so I can completely understand it. But since you have chosen to back down, then lend me your power.

I will not force you to stay as long as you lend me your superpowers.

Hey, you, Iori Yagami, yes, you, your special ability is the distribution of cursed power. Lend it to me first, and then lend all the cursed power you currently possess to other people.

Then, I'd like to ask the others who want to leave to leave their abilities behind as well. That way, you can go, and our fighting strength won't be reduced too much... In fact, your abilities will be even stronger in my hands."

When Xia Shou made this suggestion, everyone immediately fell silent.

Seeing this, Xia Shou snorted: "Unwilling? You could live a safe life simply by lending out your superpower, but you won't even lend out your superpower? So can I assume you're trying to reap the benefits without doing anything?"

“Forget it, I’m still not comfortable entrusting my superpower to someone else, so I’ll go along.” The God-Man was the first to compromise. “Besides, my superpower is useless to others.”

The hypnotist thought for a moment, then silently joined in.

For Xia Shou, her better option would be to lend him her superpower, because hypnosis, a mental influence ability, is truly useless if the superpower level is not high enough.

But clearly, this woman was very reluctant to part with her superpowers, and was unwilling to even lend them to others.

Therefore, it may not be as simple as being unwilling to lend, but rather that once the money is lent out, some of the hypnotic effects that have already been generated may be broken.

Xia Shou glanced around at everyone, took a deep breath, and said, "In that case, let's set off."

……

... "Otake Maru...

Did you know...?

My life is a tragedy.

This tragedy was perhaps destined from the very beginning.

However, as a young boy at the time, I didn't have the chance to realize any of this.

That mistake may have been made from birth, but I didn't have the courage my grandson had back then.

Before Xiongwu left, I always thought my tragedy was inevitable, but now I understand that it was all my own doing.

I still remember the day my father broke Linna's leg. She lay on the ground, unable to get up, but she still screamed that she would rather die than marry me.

Watching my sister, with her broken leg, angrily confront our father, I thought to myself, "Why bother? This is how the Angang family has always been. After you marry me, as long as you give birth to a child who can inherit the Angang family fortune, you can go and be with the person you love."

It's just a matter of sooner or later, why can't we even wait for that? My father was the same way; he married my mother and had us before he married the woman he loved before.

Just like I also have someone I like, I like Zhenling, but I am even clearer that my primary mission as the eldest son of Angang is to continue the bloodline of Angang and maintain the seal against demons, and only then can I have my own happiness.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t pursue my happiness. After Linna and I have completed our mission of having children, I can still be with Makoto, so what’s there to be so attached to?

No one in the world can be absolutely free, Linna.

Although I don't understand why Linna is so stubborn, I love her. I've watched her grow up since she was little, how could I not love her?

Since she is unwilling to marry me, I will try my best to persuade my father. After all, I have heard that there are some methods in the world that do not require physical contact, but only require the combination of the key reproductive substances of the man and woman to allow a second woman to carry the pregnancy.

I thought that this reason would bring happiness to Linna, but my father said that the risk was too great. He also said that if Linna still disagreed, he would forcibly imprison her. He said that as long as Linna got pregnant, he would find a way to keep her alive even if she went on a hunger strike.

He'd knock out her teeth or break her jaw, but he'd force-feed her; he had ways to keep Linna alive.

When I heard these words, I was shocked and my hair stood on end. I couldn't believe that my kind father would do such a thing. He had never laid a hand on us in all these years, except for breaking Linna's legs a few days ago.

But my father's bloodshot eyes, tight lips, and furrowed brows made me feel that he might really have made that decision in his heart.

So when my father made another suggestion, I agreed.

Although impersonating someone else is difficult, it may be the only feasible way, and the only way to not hurt Linna and let everyone get what they want. However... I need to have a good talk with my future brother-in-law.

I know he's just an ordinary person, unaware of the situation in our Angang family, and unaware of the predicament Linnai is facing.

But I believe that as long as he truly loves Linna, he will definitely agree. This is the only way to make Linna happy without going against the family's wishes.

"As long as everyone works together, we can definitely do it!"
