In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

It seems that the "implantation of victimhood intent" is more effective than I imagined.

Perhaps, as Su Lin said, training an innocent girl is more interesting than opening an Impart... but he has kept Lin Yue around until now, mostly to test the new effects of his superpowers.

He might not need Lin Yue's loyalty, nor did he expect to learn any secrets about Shen He from her... To be honest, she probably knew less than he did.

For Xu Shi, Lin Yue was just a guinea pig.

And the effect was obvious—even after being manipulated by herself for so long, she felt no anger or hatred at being harmed.

If I hadn't reminded her, she probably wouldn't even have the most basic awareness.

Goodness, this thing is amazing... At least in terms of immediacy, "malicious entropy increase" is far superior to "victim intention implantation".

Not to mention that Lin Yue herself harbored immense hatred for him. If she was like this in her situation, he dared not even imagine what would have happened to someone else.

But the next second, he saw Lin Yue's struggles become even more intense, as she shook her head violently and painfully, "No, this shouldn't be... no..."

...It seems the time has come.

"Injection of victimhood intent" has a time limit; even if you don't remind her, she will inevitably break free.

I checked the time; about an hour had passed.

The woman's mouth.

Xu Shi nodded slightly, straightened his clothes, and stood up.

Seeing this, Su Lin behind her sighed.

To be honest, compared to his own young master, Director Su's conscience is definitely a bit better.

Although she had initially held high hopes, seeing Lin Yue in this state still evoked some pity in her.

She was even a little relieved that she had always been with Xu Shi. She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of what would have happened to her if she had really become an opponent of someone like the young master.

This unconsciously deepened her loyalty to Xu Shi.

However, she could also guess Xu Shi's thoughts. This wasn't just about torturing someone for fun... So now it seems that the young master has fully practiced his new ability and is ready to stop?

Just then, she heard Xu Shi give an order.

"Let's find something even more exciting."

"..."

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have had such unrealistic thoughts. No one can match the young master's wickedness.

However, to be fair, this is also part of the experiment—because there is still one aspect that has not yet been put into practice.

That is the limit of "implanting victimhood intent" and the victim's dependence on the act of "victimization".

"Shall we continue, Miss Lin Yue?"

Thinking this, he walked up to the little assassin and placed his hand on her again.

……

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He'd basically tried everything he needed, even the vernier calipers, and honestly, he was starting to get a little tired of it.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, looked somewhat lost, her eyes already vacant.

Xu blinked, took a bottle of mentholatum and let her smell it, thus waking her up.

"Why not... No! You, you can't even think about it..."

The assassin girl said weakly, "Don't even think about... making me submit like this..."

But even though she said that, she wasn't really that confident, and she almost blurted out, "Why don't you continue?"

Xu Shi had already seen through all of this, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"Don't fool yourself, little sister. I know you better than you know yourself..." But he didn't expose her, he just smiled and asked her a question.

"Miss Lin Yue, do you remember how long you've been here?"

"I……"

Lin Yue opened her mouth, but then stammered.

She hadn't actually calculated it, but it must have been a long time.

"Let me tell you, only four hours have passed."

However, Xu Shi's words struck her like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned for a long time.

Only... four hours?

This undoubtedly dealt her a heavy blow, because she was well aware of the subtle changes in her thinking.

If it's only this short... then is it that his methods are too terrifying, or that my willpower is too weak?

"I know you're looking forward to it, but let's take a break first."

Xu Shi helplessly shrugged. The child has lost all sense of time; if this continues, he might go mad.

Everything that needed to be verified has been verified, and Lin Yue is still useful to him, so that's about enough.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ok?

Who could this be?

Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find Xia Wuyou standing there.

And she was carrying a... unconscious girl?

Xu Shi paused, a clear look of confusion in his eyes.

Wow, is today some special holiday?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 60 The Cute Yet Awkward Kitten

Xu Shi tilted his head as he saw Xia Wuyou appear at the door.

He needs to figure out two things first.

First, what is Xia Wuyou doing here?

Second, who is the woman she's holding like a chick in her hand?

"Well, I was just about to leave work when I noticed some unfamiliar people acting suspiciously near the company, so I went over to investigate..."

Xia Wuyou didn't meet his gaze and explained in a low voice, "Then... she lost her temper and attacked me first, but she couldn't beat me, and in the end... it turned out like this."

"Some jammers, poison, and micro-bombs were also found on her, but they have all been disposed of."

"..."

Xu Shi was speechless, but at the same time felt the deep malice emanating from this world.

It's obvious he's another assassin.

When he realized what was happening, Chairman Xu was so angry that he was trembling all over. Even though the temperature control system in the office was working properly, he was still sweating profusely and his hands and feet were ice cold.

Can this ever get any better? How am I supposed to live to satisfy you all? Tears are streaming down my face uncontrollably... cough cough, that's about it.

Did you all plan this?!

I'm impressed.

However, he also knew that this second assassin should not have much to do with Lin Yue. Lin Yue was obviously acting on her own, and there seemed to be no such person in "Spark".

Upon seeing the six-pointed star tattoo on the other person's neck, he realized who this person came from.

—He is one of Lin Wenhua's people.

The original novel mentions that the old man keeps some assassins under his command, and they occasionally send them out to cause trouble, whether it's targeting Shen He or himself.

In this respect, they seem to share a similar plight.

Well, I knew Lin Wenhua wouldn't sit still either... When he asked about it before, and then heard Su Lin say that the old man had been calm lately, Xu Shi knew something was wrong.

After all, he knew perfectly well that Lin Wenhua was not the kind of person who would die in silence, given his personality.

Having suffered two losses in a row, especially the huge loss of Jiang Fengshan, the old man certainly wouldn't be willing to accept it.

And this was his counterattack.

In fact, this is a common tactic used by conglomerates—you can't always rely on those ambitious Sin City gangs.

When laws have little effect, rules seem insignificant.

This six-pointed star assassin was clearly more composed than Lin Yue. Xu Shi could tell that the other party might not make a move today, otherwise the two of them would probably have bumped into each other at the hospital... For this kind of person, the flaws he had created were obviously not big enough; what they were looking for was an opportunity to kill in one blow.

And it's common for people to wait for such an opportunity for another ten days or half a month.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky and ran into Xia Wuyou, which led to her being caught in the act and the assassination attempt being aborted.

But, speaking of it...

"Why didn't you just kill her, instead of bringing her here?"

Xu Shi led Xia Wuyou into his office, then looked her over with interest and asked her a question.

"Uh……"

Xia Wuyou was taken aback by the question and hesitated for a while before giving an explanation, "She definitely didn't want to assassinate me, but you... I just helped you solve the problem, you can decide how to deal with it yourself."

This can be considered the truth.

Actually, Xu Shi hadn't considered it beforehand; she just did it subconsciously... But now that she thinks about it, it's definitely not in line with her usual style.

Perhaps it's because of his recent deliberate imitation of Su Lin's behavioral patterns?

She felt that this was the reason—the pleasure she felt from wholeheartedly obeying orders to harm He Yuzhao last time made her feel incredibly happy.

Let him make the decisions; I'll just play my role as the sharp blade... I have to admit, this more straightforward way of doing things has indeed saved me a lot of trouble.
