Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 944 The Real Drama

"Brother Shou, let me lend you my superpower." Jiang Wengao stretched out his hand.

Xia Shou did not extend his hand.

"Need not."

Jiang Wen lowered his hand slightly, as if to retract it, but then stopped in mid-air: "This is also part of my plan. Brother Shou, you need my special ability to win."

"Kehen told me you were planning to commit suicide, right?" Xia Shou stared into Jiang Wengao's eyes, his scrutinizing gaze almost piercing through him.

Jiang Wengao frowned, lowered his hand, and seemed not at all surprised by the result, as if he had known all along that Ke Hen would inform Xia Shou about this.

"Only in this way can we win," Jiang Wen said in a low voice.

"why?"

"There's no reason why. It's just that Sprite is too strong. We have no way to defeat that monster. This is the only way I can think of. Only by giving you my powers can we win."

"So why do I need your superpower to win? Can't you be more specific? Or is this the most you can explain? If this is all you can say, it means you're not ready to bear the consequences of the game. You haven't even thought about taking that risk, yet you're already thinking about sacrificing yourself. You've taken too big a step."

"No, that's not it. This plan can be discussed. It's what I came up with, mainly because Sister Ke gave me the inspiration. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to come up with this plan." Jiang Wengao recalled the key steps and observed the expressions of Shangguan Yan and Xia Shou.

Xia Shou stared at him with the expression of a leader inspecting the details of work, his face showing no anxiety or urgency in the face of the apocalypse.

Shangguan Yan sat to one side, glancing at them every now and then, doing Sudoku with a pen in his hand, looking completely at ease.

He couldn't understand either of them.

They should also know the seriousness of this matter, and therefore should understand that there is no other choice but to try anything, to fight with all their might.

But if he knew that, why was he still so calm? Jiang Wengao didn't know whether the problem lay with him or with them.

Perhaps it was herself, or perhaps the minister still had a trump card up her sleeve? After all, in the game, Blood Maria, who would become a pillar of humanity in the future, gave this Shattered Star Witch extremely high praise.

The minister's composure may stem from the hidden strength she possesses.

But if you have hidden strength, why did you still lose?
They've lost in the future.

"Minister, what are you doing?" Jiang Wengao finally couldn't help but ask.

“Let’s do Sudoku,” Shangguan Yan said.

"why?"

“Because it’s so boring.” As she spoke, Shangguan Yan finished filling in another line. Before Jiang Wengao could reply, she waved her hand to interrupt, “Don’t mind me, you two can talk.”

Jiang Wengao frowned, his chest swelling.

Shangguan Yan then said, "Let me say a few more words, otherwise someone might get angry. But it's not entirely incomprehensible. After all, holding such incredible power, it's normal for him to see himself as some kind of chosen one, a key figure in changing history." These words were like a needle piercing Jiang Wengao's body. He immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, and the inexplicable anger in his heart turned into a feeling of being misunderstood.

While solving a Sudoku puzzle, Shangguan Yan said, "Those who never think outside the box and treat acquired power as supreme dogma to be trusted and followed are the lowest of the low in our three departments."

You don't need to tell us about your game. Ten years later, you've already revealed the key. No matter how you look at it, your game should be the work of the "Horse in the Woods" school of thought. What it's obsessed with is possibility, observation, and drama.

I initially thought Xiao Gao, you should at least have some understanding, but it turns out you actually used this special ability as a guide for navigating real-world situations? You're being ridiculously stupid.

"Minister, you have no idea about that..."

"Stop. People who can't break free from the framework of power itself are not qualified to participate in debates. We asked you to play games to think about the intentions of the game designers, but you've become addicted to them."

"You're so stupid, there's basically no hope for you. If it weren't for the fact that you're still somewhat agreeable ten years from now, I would definitely have kicked you to another department after this," Shangguan Yan said calmly.

Jiang Wengao was stunned. He felt like he understood something, but he also felt like he didn't. But at that moment, he suddenly realized that he might not be the supreme commander.

He subconsciously looked at Xia Shou, who reminded him expressionlessly, "If you were making a game, would you create a complete guide and then give it to the players so they could play by referring to it?"

"No, wouldn't that ruin the gameplay?"

"So, someone gave you that power, but why? To make you think, 'Damn, this game is so hard, I can't possibly beat it'... Is that it?" Xia Shou continued to enlighten him.

Jiang Wengao's eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, oh, oh! I know, the drama! The drama is actually here! A game that was impossible to beat could actually be beaten!"

"Actually, that's not accurate, but you can understand it that way if you want," Xia Shou said.

Shangguan Yan glanced at Jiang Wengao, then lowered his head again to ponder Sudoku: "You should learn more from your brother Shou in the future. Your current way of thinking is completely incapable of standing on your own."

Xia Shou remained silent, secretly glad that his mind worked quickly. In fact, he hadn't even thought of this aspect. It was only when the minister mentioned it that he suddenly realized that this was another way to analyze the matter.

"So we will actually win?" Jiang Wengao looked at the other party with surprise.

Shangguan Yan: "It's hard to say. Let me tell you about your previous plan."

This time, Jiang Wengao was very cooperative and gave a complete account of his proposed plan.

"Brother Shou, I learned about your Superpower Bank from Sister Ke, but besides your superpower, there's actually something special in the future, and that's Rosa's evaluation of you!"

"What does Rosa think of me?"

"Yes, Grand Duke Rosa said it's a pity about you. If you had the same conditions as him, you would definitely have mastered the forbidden knowledge of blood and fire."

"So that's why you want to lend me your superpower?"
No, it's not that simple. You should know the borrowing period for the [Superpower Bank], right?
The probability of comprehending forbidden knowledge in such a short time is too low. Rosa didn't say I was a prodigy who understood it instantly, did he? I don't think Rosa would say that.”

“That’s right, but I think ten years is definitely enough time for you to understand that forbidden knowledge, Brother Shou,” Jiang Wengao said. “The biggest hurdle of the forbidden knowledge of blood and fire lies in the understanding of one’s own blood. But if a person can survive when their entire body turns into flames and when their body is entirely blood, then it’s as if there is no hurdle at all.”
