Chapter 935 Sprite, Unable to Cope

A few hours later, Xia Shou walked out of the hotel feeling refreshed. After taking a shower and putting on his clothes, he felt completely refreshed, both physically and mentally. All the distracting thoughts and anxieties he had before checking into the hotel were swept away.

My mind is blank. Now, when I think of Wei Yu and Xiao Yue, all I feel is pure affection, stripped of the greedy desires that were controlled by my body.

This feeling of being controlled by his own will and spirit made Xia Shou feel at ease and confident. In addition to the pacification of his desires and physical satisfaction, he also collected two bottles of desire materials to unlock the seal of the Ghost Bridegroom.

Soon, Su Yue also came out of the hotel. The soaking wet McDonald's paper bag clung to her high nose bridge, and her hair, sticking out from under the bag, was dripping wet.

She exuded the fragrance of shower gel and natural body odor, and if you sniffed closely, you could also smell the lingering scent of heather flowers that clung to her clothes.

Xia Shou admitted that Su Yue was still very aroused, but it no longer affected him, because he was truly completely devoid of desire. He was now purer than a eunuch.

"Then... I'll go back?" Su Yue pointed in another direction.

"Goodbye." Xia Shou said calmly. The two of them stood facing each other, and at this moment they were as polite as strangers on a blind date for the first time, as if neither of them had said those vulgar words.

After Su Yue turned around, Xia Shou, holding his broken eye, saw what Su Yue would look like ten years later, and the price that would be paid to replace the Su Yue of ten years later with the present.

While in the underworld, Xia Shou had already observed with his remaining eye, but this time, Xia Shou was shocked to find that the cost of the replacement had been greatly reduced!
What was once an almost impossible distance to cover has now become a hundred meters! Just a hundred meters is enough to bring Su Yue from ten years in the future to the present.

How is this going?

Is it because Xiao Gao came back ten years later and changed the most likely future? So the difference between Xiao Yue ten years later and Xiao Yue now is smaller?

Xia Shou immediately thought of a possibility: in the near future, he would tell the other party about the plan to disable his eyes, so that the other party could maintain a lifestyle with minimal changes for ten years, in order to reduce the cost.

However, the original purpose of summoning Su Yue was to kill the Heart of the Rift King, so it would be unreasonable to suppress Su Yue's growth. Therefore, this speculation is unlikely to be true.

If that's the case, then... Xia Shou suddenly realized the key point.

Body!

It's about physical condition!
Although Su Yue's power has not yet reached the level of ten years later, her physical body has naturally grown to the level of ten years later. The reason for the reduced cost is not due to any other reason, but the necklace that Su Yue is wearing!
Xia Shou's eyes lit up instantly.

This teamwork is absolutely fantastic!
If that necklace could be given to someone else, he could save a lot of cost every time he used the Withered Eye, because at least physically, the distance between ten years later and now has been greatly reduced.

Unfortunately, the necklace nominally belongs to Yun Xiao, so he can't possibly borrow it. If he does, it would be like breaking the unspoken agreement, and the situation would descend into chaos.

Once the truth is revealed, it will be impossible for him and Xiaoyue to maintain their current relationship, and once they take things further, it will be impossible to hide it from Weiyu.

It wouldn't be surprising if Wei Yu did anything after learning that her sister, whom she had protected for so many years, had been robbed. This matter is quite troublesome to handle, and she can only think about it later. The Heart of the Rending King must be dealt with after Sprite; right now, the most important thing is to kill Sprite.

Having been away from the control center for so long, I wonder if Xiao Gao has woken up yet. If he has, he should be able to issue new orders.

Xia Shou returned to the Control Bureau and pushed open the conference room door. Everyone turned to look at him. No one spoke, but everyone's eyes were asking, "Where did you go?"

"My thoughts were a bit jumbled, so I went outside for a walk to clear my head," Xia Shou said guiltily, then immediately changed the subject, "Where's Xiao Gao? Has he woken up?"

"He went to the medical department for an IV drip. His sleep quality is very poor. Although he is said to be asleep, he is not really asleep. The metabolic impurities accumulated in his brain cannot be removed, so he went to the medical department for an IV drip to give him some medicine to help him wake up properly," Shangguan Yan replied casually, then slid a new document from the other end of the long table to Xia Shou.

"Most of the strategic arrangements have been made, but no one can stop Sprite. They can stop him if they really want to, but that would only be for winning, not for maximizing profits."

"So you can win?" Xia Shou asked rhetorically.

"Eleven plans have been listed to kill Sprite: releasing a few properly controlled EX-level anomalies, or cultivating a few anomalies with exponential growth potential. Both would have a high probability of defeating Sprite, but the cost of winning in this way would be too high, with endless troubles in the future."

There's absolutely no point in raising an uncontrollable monster or calamity that's more dangerous than Sprite. It would be better to let Sprite ascend, at least the ruins of the world she left behind after her ascension would be clean and easy to rebuild.

If those options were adopted, the world would likely face a nuclear apocalypse. Oh, nuclear radiation is just a metaphor; it refers to the intractable, extraordinary pollution.

"Even the pillars of humanity can't stop Sprite?" Xia Shou said.

"You still believe in the pillars of humanity?" Shiana asked, somewhat surprised.

Charles smiled and took out a cigarette, but just as he put it to his lips, he realized the occasion was inappropriate and took it away: "When I was young, I also believed in the pillars of humanity."

"You all think that the pillars of humanity don't exist?" Xia Shou actually believed in the existence of the pillars of humanity, although he had no evidence to prove it except for the mysterious man's claim.

"If you're talking about the thirteen strongest people in the Control Bureau, then they definitely exist. The existence of the thirteen strongest people is an unchangeable objective fact, just like having a first, second, third, and fourth place in an exam."

"But the idea of ​​a pillar of humanity should never have existed in the first place; it's just a widely circulated rumor," Shiana explained.

Charles continued, "Of course, the pillars of humanity are inherently unfalsifiable. If a disaster is not averted, it can be said that the pillars of humanity are dealing with an even more difficult and dangerous disaster. As long as this excuse is used, no one can deny the pillars of humanity; at most, they can only laugh at them."

It was obvious that neither Charles nor Xianna, the two Level 5 finishers, believed that the pillars of humanity existed, so Xia Shou could only look to Shangguan Yan to probe his opinion.

Shangguan Yan noticed Xia Shou's gaze and smiled, "Just think of them as all the pillars of humanity, solving tasks that are even more difficult than those of the Scar Era."
