Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1148 Acting Together
Su Yue's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, analyzing the current situation.

Should we ambush Xia Shou directly and take off his childish mask?
Well, although I can try to do that, it might not be successful. Although my movement is faster than Xia Shou's, Scorpion Spine's reaction speed is also impressive, and it will most likely be dodged.

If she manages to evade the attack, she can either increase the intensity of the confrontation, but that would lead to a very intense conflict and could easily affect her mood when checking into the hotel later... After all, her ultimate goal was not to expose the other party's disguise.

Moreover, if we don't consider the reality, exposing the pretense can easily make the situation awkward, and might even make Xia Shou feel guilty.
If that happens, it will be even worse, making things more complicated afterward, and most importantly, it's highly unlikely that the time spent in the hotel will be enjoyable.

Moreover, choosing to do this would easily expose a flaw, because in Xia Shou's eyes, she should not know the specific rules of the Crazy Love Hotel.

As an employee of the control bureau, being involved in an unknown anomaly with a stranger, instead of immediately uniting with the stranger, he directly launched a sneak attack on the person who was also involved in the accident. This seems very incongruous.

Considering all these factors, it would be more natural and reasonable to approach things as if we knew nothing about the hotel rules and were investigating with strangers.

But... but there's a very serious problem here!

If we were to do *that* kind of thing later, and I were too cooperative, wouldn't he see me as a very promiscuous girl?

It seems I'll have to pretend to be completely unyielding later on, but will I really be able to hold out halfway through? I'll definitely end up pretending to enjoy it, right? Because it's already so enjoyable!
My head is so big, it feels like my brain cells are on strike.

You blockhead, get moving!

As Su Yue processed the situation with the same intensity of thinking she used when participating in the Mathematical Olympiad, Xia Shou's brain was also racing.

This situation was just as complicated for him as a ball of yarn being tangled up by a bicycle chain, with various sensitive conditions combining to create countless possibilities.

First of all, he definitely couldn't approach Su Yue as a complete stranger, because given Xiao Yue's personality, she would probably just explode at him, and once she did, there would be no turning back, and he would definitely be forced to take off his mask and show himself.

But once he takes off his mask and reveals his identity, he's doomed. He'll have to confess his feelings, and his previously secretive underground romance will be brought into the open like roots sprouting from the ground, which will definitely be noticed by Wei Yu.

Although this is what Wei Yu wanted to see, according to Xiao Yue ten years later, Wei Yu's desires continued to expand due to the thirsty teeth, which would eventually affect her life. If her desires were satisfied too frequently, their lives would eventually become tiring and chaotic.

In order to delay Wei Yu's thirst symptoms, his relationship with Xiao Yue must not progress to the point she wants to see. He must keep her in the mindset that "her sister may be taken away by a strange man who has not yet appeared at any time."

Combined with this fundamental purpose, his goal became clearer: to disguise his identity without causing a violent conflict, just like Yun Xiao and he did, he also wanted to wear the same disguise as Yun Xiao.

Of course, given Su Yue's personality, if she didn't know that the person wearing the mask was him, she would only end up taking one of two paths.

One possibility is that a conflict will be forced, and the outcome will be a life-or-death struggle outside the hotel. The other possibility is that Su Yue will likely negotiate with the manager as a VIP, exploiting loopholes in the hotel's rules, which will ultimately lead to his identity being exposed!

In conclusion, he only has one tactic left: to make Su Yue realize that it is he who is wearing a mask! Yes, this strategy seems incredibly foolish at first glance, but it is the conclusion that Xia Shou has reached after careful consideration!

First of all, once Su Yue realizes that he is Xia Shou, then from Su Yue's perspective, there will be a problem.

That means she can't show any particular familiarity with the hotel, otherwise it will reveal that she has been there before.

Xiaoyue was unaware that he already knew she was Yunxiao.

In her heart, his view of her was: a pure, kind, gentle girl who was clueless about love.

Therefore, she must have subconsciously wanted to maintain her pure and innocent image, so she would definitely pretend to be a first-time visitor, not to mention that she would never use something like a gold card.

Because for her, once the topic of VIPs comes up, Yun Xiao's disguise will be exposed!
In this way, the pressure that was originally on him was transferred to Su Yue. This was his open scheme!
Therefore, he did not rely on willpower to hide his everyday habits as he traveled.

He wanted to make Su Yue too embarrassed to expose his identity, yet he also had no choice but to continue playing the part.

Of course, this doesn't mean he has no difficulties at all, because once he enters the room, there is still a possibility that his mask will be removed at any time. In that case, having his mask removed means he has lost.

She could have easily pretended to be utterly shocked, then taken the opportunity to confess her feelings, achieving a happy ending where she openly and honestly revealed her true thoughts.

But if that happens, Wei Yu's condition will be incurable in the future, so he must prevent this from happening.

We must find a way to put Su Yue in a situation where she has the opportunity to remove her mask, but she chooses not to!
And the way to achieve this—

He hasn't decided yet!
Damn it, you're so dense, get your brain working!
Also, is there something wrong with my spine? I always feel like the blood in my body isn't flowing to my head, but instead flows down to my body? Can't I even control such a simple advanced reflex?
"It seems we've been caught up in an anomaly." Su Yue pushed up her glasses, her expression serious, her gaze cautiously sweeping around, as if this were truly her first time encountering such an anomaly.

Seeing her reaction, even Xia Shou couldn't help but marvel at her professional acting skills. Her reaction was exactly what a professional wrapper would do in the face of an unexpected situation.

Even the details are very well done. The stance with one foot in front of the other is for using the Instant Step at any time, ensuring that you can dodge and attack in any unexpected situation.

She knew perfectly well that there wouldn't be a fight, but in order to perfect her image, she even considered such details. No wonder she is the strongest idol actress of the new generation.

The thought of acting opposite an actor of this caliber made Xia Shou nervous, and his palms started to sweat.

"Hmm, are you also a superhuman? Do you have any clue what's going on? I was walking down the street and suddenly there was no one there." Xia Shou also tried to get into character.
