It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Eliminate all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how impossible it is, is the truth.

That's the situation now.

In any case, in Xu Shi's opinion, Shen Qin's actions were completely consistent with his guess.

If she hadn't been harboring such a secret, her previous reaction would definitely not have been so resistant.

After all, showing a too fast self-healing speed is equivalent to direct exposure.

And under her own strong request, she could only use the method of "taking medicine" to cover up the problem and make it seem that there was no problem.

The fact is, if I really knew nothing about her and hadn't maintained this suspicion, I would probably have let her pass me by.

As for why the previous physical examinations failed to detect this, it is actually easy to understand.

Because this ability is most likely passive, it will not show up unless you are injured.

In addition, no one has the concept of "dual superpowers" at all, so as long as she shows the obvious upgraded ability of "Burning Blood Liberation", it will be enough to deal with it.

It is very easy to write about things that others don't know about. Even when facing a machine, the accuracy of the "sundial" is not 100%.

"But if she really had such ability, she wouldn't be so weak and sickly like she is now, right?"

Su Lin still remained skeptical, after all, such a thing had a great impact on her.

"Not necessarily."

Xu Shi shook his head.

At this point we have to mention a game.

That’s right, it’s the card game that was thriving in my previous life.

There are two different concepts there, deduction of physical strength and loss of physical strength.

The former can be regarded as injury and blood loss, which can trigger her passive self-healing ability, while the latter will not trigger any effect.

Although this metaphor may not be appropriate, in Xu Shi's opinion, it is probably true.

Of course, there is another possibility.

The loss of vitality caused by "Blood Burning Release" is far more serious than it seems. It is precisely because of the self-healing function that she only looks sick.

Perhaps without the latter's assistance, Shen Qin would be the second Xia Ke'an now.

"..."

Su Lin nodded silently. Although she still couldn't believe it 100%, all the evidence pointed to this result, so she could only look at the matter from this perspective.

Even so she still thought it was a little far fetched.

Xu Shi understood this very well. If it were him, it would not be easy to accept this unprecedented situation.

But if you think about it from another angle, it does make sense.

After all, in the original novel, Shen Qin is the younger sister of the protagonist Shen He. Especially since she is a heroine who only appears in the middle part of the novel, it is reasonable for some special circumstances to occur.

Maybe with her help, the protagonists will be able to gain more powerful strength in future developments... It's also a familiar old routine.

Xu Shi sighed lightly. If this was true, then Shen Qin's importance would be much greater than a little bit.

If she, a "double upgrader", appeared naturally, then maybe there will be a second one, and a third one in the future, just like a version upgrade and patch, and the situation of Night Sin City will change again.

But there is another situation that deserves more attention, that is, her ability is not awakened innately.

What does that mean?

This means that the "Forgotten" have the technical means of "superpower implantation"!

If this is true, it would be a big deal - after all, even if we put aside the issue of complications, many people's ability to upgrade still has loopholes and defects.

But if we can use such means to make up for it, we can fill this gap without any burden.

For example, Xia Wuyou's weakness is that she cannot deal well with gaseous attacks. Without the help of a tactical mask, her combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced if she were to be hit by a hypnotic gas bomb.

But if she could be given the ability to restrain gaseous things, then she would no longer have any shortcomings in this regard, and it would be a significant improvement to the overall situation.

"... Anyway, just keep an eye on it, and don't make it public. Investigate from the side and make sure everything is clear before making any decisions."

Thinking of this, Xu Shi said slowly.

The fact is that he couldn't be completely sure that his guess was correct. It was because he didn't know this sister Shen He completely. If he really knew everything, it would be much easier for him. Why would he need to rack his brains to analyze it here?

However, since such a thing has happened, it should not be underestimated. Since there is no way to tie her to the operating table and cut her into pieces for anatomical analysis, we have to stay put and wait for the right opportunity to take her down with one move.

Fortunately, Shen Qin is now under his control, so it is convenient to control her. He has even thought about what position to assign her - let her stay with Xia Wuyou as an adjutant. In this way, the little sister's every move will be basically under his surveillance.

"I understand."

Su Lin knew this very well and nodded quickly.

"And Master, I'm sorry about what happened just now."

After discussing the serious matters, Director Su felt a little embarrassed and said, "I know I was wrong."

What she was talking about was, of course, the incident when she accidentally caught Xu Shi and Xia Wuyou.

To be honest, she was actually a little indignant. She couldn't be happy when she came back from being out for a few hours and saw this kind of thing.

But she didn't want to just get away with it, so after thinking it over, she took the initiative to bring it up.

"Oh? Wrong?"

Xu Shi blinked when he heard this, "Tell me what you did wrong?"

"My mistake was...my mistake was coming in without knocking."

Su Lin knew that the young master was deliberately not giving her a way out, but since she had started the topic, she could only continue talking, "Please punish me, young master."

Actually Xu Shi didn’t care too much. He was interrupted in the middle of something. It would be a lie to say he wasn’t angry.

But this accusation against Su Lin didn't seem appropriate, as she came here on serious business and didn't do it on purpose.

So he didn't have any intention of pursuing the matter. Su Lin was different from others.

But since she was the one who brought it up, it’s a different matter.

He also wanted to play a trick on her, so he pulled Su Lin in front of him, got close to her, hugged her waist and said with a smirk, "Then... use you to compensate me?"

"I……"

Su Lin never expected Xu Shi to do this. She was suddenly at a loss and couldn't speak.

What does the young master mean by this? Is he going to... is he serious?

Anyway, just looking at Xu Shi's expression, she didn't think the other party was joking.

She didn't seem to reject this idea subconsciously, but, if it was really like this... wasn't it a bit too hasty?

This made her cheeks turn red instantly, and she didn't know what to do.

But that's it.

There was a knock on the door outside the office.

...Again?!

It’s endless, right?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 129 Transferring Conflicts

Say something.

If the person knocking on the door at this moment was Xia Wuyou, it would be a fatal blow, just like that moment.

But unfortunately the person who came was not him, but Jiang Chengcheng.

"...Come in, come in, come in."

Xu Shi smiled unhappily, but it seemed like he was pretending and he was not really angry.

If the good thing with Xia Wuyou just now was really disrupted, then what he did to Su Lin now was just a deliberate teasing.

This actually shows that in his heart, Su Lin is different from others.

The main reason is that Director Su has served him for too long, from childhood to adulthood, for more than 20 years... There is nothing new about her, but in other aspects, she is far ahead of others and is more like a close family member.

This may be the reason why "childhood sweethearts" often lose to the "sky-drop" type. If they are too familiar with each other, it will not be the right feeling. What's more, Su Lin is not a childhood sweetheart in the general sense. Whether she is an elder sister or a nanny, she has always played the role of "taking care of yourself in every detail".

It's fun to tease her.

But real guns and swords are just... well.

Xu Shi was a little confused about what to say.

Su Lin also felt as if she had been pardoned. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly withdrew herself from the situation.

She was also confused.

She was Xu Shi's childhood sweetheart, and so was Xu Shi to her? In the past, she treated him as her master, but to Director Su, Xu Shi was more like an ignorant younger brother.

But now my younger brother has suddenly grown up. Not only is he no longer naughty, but he also shows a capable aura and can do everything well.

This kind of personal charm is enough to impress people, especially women. Who doesn’t want the person they love to be a hero?

The fact is, none of the girls who have been conquered fell just because of Xu Shi’s ability, whether it is Gu Yi, Xia Wuyou, or even Jiang Chengcheng.

Even people like Xie Qingyan admire Xu Shi in their hearts.

Not to mention Su Lin, she was so relieved that she dared to say that she didn't have such thoughts? If she really didn't get jealous when she saw him laughing and being intimate with others, no one would believe it.

What's more, Xu Shi had done her a favor, which undoubtedly made this emotion more important. She didn't need to use her ability to influence her, but in terms of favorability, she was probably higher than anyone else.

So when Xu Shi teased her, Su Lin would not have any resistance at all. In fact, for her, if the young master really wanted her, he would give her to him without any hesitation.

But honestly speaking, she doesn't want to be inferior to others in this regard, especially she doesn't want to be in a situation where she really needs to "use you as compensation", because that would be a completely different matter.

After all, she usually regards herself as a subordinate, and essentially she does have a bit of inferiority complex due to her unequal status, which is the root cause of her feeling depressed and at a loss.

Therefore, no matter whether Xu Shi was sincere to her or not, Jiang Chengcheng's appearance at this time undoubtedly helped her out.

As expected of a good bestie!
