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

"Oh."

Hearing her say that, Xu Shi simply responded calmly, but a hint of mockery flashed across his face.

Director Su's instigation certainly played a part in this, but Xia Wuyou herself probably didn't realize that "imitating her behavior" was itself a manifestation of sinking deeper and deeper into depravity.

Because Su Lin is your number one loyal dog, isn't she...? Why are you so eager to emulate her? Right?

Of course, she certainly didn't have Su Lin's peculiar sense of humor—Director Su would probably be a black dog if she were cut open, while Xia Wuyou's actions seemed more like a way of hoping to gain recognition... to curry favor?

Anyway, Xu Shi's current feeling is that the grumpy little cat caught a fish, then scaled and removed its bones, and presented it to its owner.

Her reluctance to speak up made her seem rather cute.

"I really have to thank Team Leader Xia for protecting my safety."

He was very satisfied with Xia Wuyou's performance, took her hand and bowed slightly, "It's just time for dinner, how about we have a meal together as my way of thanking you?"

This kind of behavior is definitely worth rewarding.

"...Chairman Xu, there's no need for thanks. This is just my job."

Xia Wuyou hesitated for a moment before shaking her head, her half-step back a beat slower than usual. "I still have to go to the hospital... I'm sorry I can't accept your kindness."

"Alright, then let's do it another day."

Xu Shi didn't stop her, watching her hurriedly flee in panic.

Why go to the hospital? It's just an excuse. He just came back from the hospital. How could he not know that Xia Ke'an has closed treatment today? No one else is allowed to visit her.

Still not honest enough, girl... He smiled helplessly, but for Xia Wuyou, this action was actually quite amusing.

However, what he didn't know was that Xia Wuyou had another reason for refusing—he always felt there was something strange about the office.

The gym was located within the office building, and it had a hidden door, so Team Leader Xia had no idea what was happening there; at most, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

I have no idea what they're doing... I'd better not get involved.

Faced with the unknown, Xia Wuyou chose the clumsy and ineffective act of escapism.

"The murder of a conglomerate director is enough to convict Lin Wenhua."

Su Lin, however, didn't think much of it and said in a serious and earnest tone, "Team Leader Xia has indeed sent a very generous gift. Young Master, would you like to...?"

"Not in a hurry."

Xu Shi waved his hand and said, "This fire isn't burning bright enough."

The six-pointed star assassin is not the same as the outsourced assassin that Lin Wenhua sent to deal with Gu Yi before, who would cower at the slightest intimidation.

This six-pointed star is not only a tattoo, but also a means of mind control that integrates nanoscale circuitry, making them obedient to Lin Wenhua.

The assassin himself had already undergone semi-mechanization, including the removal of his limbs, brain, and even his vocal cords, all so that the old man could leave safely.

Everyone probably knows that this is his person, but there is no substantial evidence.

Of course, this isn't really a problem.

Lin Wenhua doesn't follow the rules, so he's too lazy to follow them either. If you're tired of living, then I'll give you a hand... But before that, we can let this assassin who failed in his assassination attempt play a more significant role.

"Have Chengcheng come over; she needs to work overtime."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 61 I'm fed up, you can leave.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yue slowly woke up from her coma once again.

Thinking about what she had experienced before, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

In less than a day, she had witnessed all of Xu Shi's despicable methods.

It seemed that only then did she realize what kind of opponent "Spark" had provoked.

It can only be said that Chief Shen underestimated him... Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but feel a chill of fear, but at the same time, she also felt a bit of relief.

The fact that I didn't feel any resistance beforehand doesn't seem to be a bad thing—although I know it must be some kind of trick of his, at least it didn't cause me as much pain as I had expected.

Otherwise, she would probably have completely collapsed even without Xu Shi pointing it out.

But the aftereffects are also obvious. She doesn't know what he did to her, but now she actually feels a little longing for his previous actions.

How could I have such thoughts... But when Lin Yue saw the Miao Miao tools scattered on the table, images inevitably came to mind.

The restlessness within her body also compelled her to shift unnaturally.

She tried to turn her head to one side—Xu had previously removed the restraints from her forehead to make it easier to play with her, which allowed her to better observe her surroundings.

At least she didn't have to stare at those bastards anymore... The girl endured the soreness in her neck and looked to the other side, where she unexpectedly discovered a small window.

The window isn't big, but from here you can get a perfect view of what's happening outside.

But what Lin Yue saw shocked her even more.

A makeshift operating table was set up there, with a girl strapped to it.

Xu Shi sat to the side, with Su Lin standing behind him. There was also a woman in a surgical suit with magnifying glasses on her eyes, who was precisely operating the instruments on her body.

What...what is going on?!

Lin Yue didn't understand it, but she was deeply shocked.

After a long moment of stunned silence, she finally came to her senses.

Could this be some kind of sex puppet modification?!

Due to her tragic early experiences, the girl knew more about this than most people and was well aware of the various methods involved.

In fact, the technology related to sex puppet modification was initially used on combat personnel.

Initially, they were given injections of drugs to keep them more alert and focused during combat, such as "Erex" from "Prism".

Later, more efficient brain-computer interface chips were developed, which can be activated directly when needed to switch to combat mode.

Nowadays, brain-computer interfaces are somewhat outdated. Implanting nanoscale programs under the skin can better unleash the body's potential.

However, the people of Sin City cannot replicate this technology. If it is about modifying dolls, the first two methods are more common and cheaper.

Of course, "Erex" will be replaced by various addictive drugs, and the brain-computer chip will not be implanted with combat commands, but will be replaced by various means to please the big spenders.

It was undeniably cruel... and this was something Lin Yue couldn't bear to see.

Whenever she discovers something like this, the tragedy of her mother spreads through her mind like a nightmare, causing her even more pain than the physical torture.

"...Stop! I told you to stop!"

She tried to stop them in a hoarse voice, but it was obviously in vain—not to mention that she herself was also tied up tightly, the room was very soundproof, and no one outside could hear anything.

All Lin Yue could do was close her eyes, but once the door was opened, it wasn't so easy to close it again.

A devil...this guy is a devil!

We absolutely must... kill him!

……

"Is it easy to modify?"

Inside the office, Xu Shi, an outsider, watched Jiang Chengcheng's actions with great interest and asked a question.

"Please wait a moment, Chairman Xu."

Jiang Chengcheng didn't look up, focusing entirely on completing the task he had assigned to her.

About an hour later, she put down her tools and removed the magnifying glass from her eyes.

"That's no problem."

She respectfully handed over a makeshift remote control, "I've made some additional modifications... Mr. Xu, you can use this directly to give her any operating instructions."

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Xu Shi nodded, took the remote control, unlocked the restraints, and tried inputting commands.

The next second, the woman on the operating table mechanically turned over and sat up, then without the slightest hesitation, prostrated herself at his feet, assuming a perfect dogeza (a traditional Japanese kowtow).

Then, she stood up in a strange posture, made cute cat paw shapes with her hands, stuck out her tongue, and her throat kept trembling.

Finally, when Xu Shi stopped giving the order, the other party lowered its head as if its engine had been extinguished.

Oh, I forgot her vocal cords were removed, so she couldn't bark like a dog... but the effect was obvious, which made him very satisfied.

"awesome."

He praised Jiang Chengcheng.

"Mr. Xu, you flatter me."

The other person scratched their head sheepishly, revealing a simple and shy smile.

This is so different from her focused and even somewhat fanatical demeanor during the modification process; she's practically a shy young girl now.

Jiang Chengcheng didn't care about any of that. She was happy just to be able to help Xu Shi. What she did was completely unimportant.

Xu Shi's praise made her even happier.

"So, young master, are you trying to use this to turn the tables on Lin Wenhua?"

Seeing her best friend acting like a little fool, Su Lin changed the subject with a hint of helplessness.

"more or less."

Xu Shi remained noncommittal.

To be fair, although the fact that everyone was being sent here today gave him the feeling that they were secretly having a party, this six-pointed star assassin wasn't one of them.

Not to mention she doesn't even have a name, what need is there for a suicide squad... and she's also undergone significant cybernetic modifications, making her completely uninteresting.

You wouldn't even get a turn... But he wouldn't refuse something offered to him, so he simply went with the flow and let Jiang Chengcheng transform her into a half-machine who was only loyal to him.

As for the effect?

No one else would know that the person she was loyal to had changed, and that she was probably very useful for doing bad things.

But it's not just that... Thinking this, Xu Shi pushed open the hidden door of the gym again.
