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

After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and there were some feelings that even he himself could not describe. Even when he was hiding outside the city, he would often comfort himself that the other party was just temporarily bewitched by Xu Shi, and when the day came when he would strike back, there might be a possibility of reconciliation between them.

But this was just self-consolation. Whether it was Xia Wuyou's personal act of arresting his sister, or her obedient attitude towards Xu Shi, it was like a blow to the head, shattering the last fantasy in his heart.

It was obvious that the current Xia Wuyou was no longer the same as he remembered him, but had completely turned into Xu Shi's appearance.

More importantly, he no longer has any chance of making a comeback.

The last time he was able to escape was because of the "beacon", but this time it won't work - the moment he surrendered for his sister, his greatest reliance had fallen into Xu Shi's hands.

It seemed that he had only just now realized that he had reached the end of his rope, and once he realized this, he would never be able to remain calm no matter what.

Even just seeing Xu Shi and Xia Wuyou being so close, he felt like he was going crazy. Aggrieved, angry, jealous...all kinds of emotions intertwined together, and cursing was the only way he could vent his emotions.

Unfortunately, this bastard Xu Shi was unwilling to give him even this little right. Before he could finish his words, he raised his cane and hit him hard in the chest, causing him to spit out blood uncontrollably.

"You're so noisy."

Xu Shi glanced at him with contempt, "If she doesn't follow you, she's a bitch? You take yourself too seriously, don't you? If she follows you, you'd be the biggest fool."

Xia Wuyou just sighed helplessly when she heard that. How should she put it? She was not angry at what Shen He said. She just felt that it was the same as last time. This person's every move made her feel very disappointed.

But in the final analysis, any girl would be unhappy if she was told this. Fortunately, Xu Shi did not ignore her feelings. In her opinion, he was just helping her vent her anger.

This made Xia Wuyou a little touched, and her heart was sweet - although the experiences of these years made her heart quite strong, it did not mean that she did not want to be cared for, especially from the person she liked.

Well, how about rewarding him tonight? It’s still not too late to buy him new clothes now…

"Asshole, I'm going to kill you..."

Shen He's condition was not very good to begin with, and he felt a little dizzy after taking this blow, but he still gritted his teeth and stared at the two of them with all his strength.

“It would be ridiculous to say something that you can’t do.”

Xu Shi didn't care about it. He just looked at him and smiled, "Actually, you know what? What you did reminded me of a story."

"There was an old man who wanted to invent a tool to drink tea directly. He spent many years trying to invent one, but he spat it out at the first sip because the water was too hot."

He told the story like a storyteller, "Then he was not satisfied, so he made some improvements and made a second version, but found that it was still not good enough."

"Then he kept trying again and again, adjusting this and that. If it didn't work once, he would try it again and again. He didn't give up even after more than ten years."

"This spirit is admirable, but he overlooked the most critical issue - drinking boiling water directly is something that humans cannot do."

"Tell me, do you look like this old man?"

Anyway, this is the feeling Shen He's mental journey gave him - the first failure was still okay, but his subsequent behavior was definitely stubborn, completely ignoring the fact that he was fighting against a powerful enemy, which no amount of planning could change.

It was no surprise that this was the outcome.

In fact, he had to admit that Shen He did have some ability. If he didn't insist on fighting him to the death, and just stayed calm and developed well in Sin City, he might have achieved something.

Or if he had chosen to surrender to me, the outcome would definitely be different now.

It’s a pity that he was so stubborn that he could have become a great inventor, but in the end he could only become a comedian.

"Heath Ledger observed your life in order to play the role of the Joker well.jpg"

It was indeed quite funny. At least Xia Wuyou couldn't help laughing at Xu Shi's wonderful analogy. Even Su Lin, who was usually serious, couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of the scene of scalding the old man with boiling water.

What could Shen He do in the face of such humiliation? He could only selectively block out these words so that he could feel a little better.

"Okay, it's time to get going, Shen Bao."

Xu Shi cleared his throat and loaded his cane. "If you keep talking, I'll become a villain who dies because of his talkativeness."

"...Xu Shi, stop it!"

Just then, an angry shout was heard.

Perhaps it was because he saw his brother being humiliated, Shen Qin who was standing by regained his senses at some point and rushed towards him desperately.

With her abilities limited, she naturally couldn't do anything and just fell to the ground in a cute manner.

"Don't be anxious, Nan Qian, no, Miss Shen Qin."

Xu Shi smiled faintly and sighed, "After he's done, it's your turn. Don't cut in line."

"You...you let my brother go!"

Shen Qin struggled to get up, looked at him and gritted his teeth, "If you want to kill me, just kill me. I will bear any guilt!"

"Xiaoqin!"

Of course Shen He was unwilling to hear this. He was naturally touched by his sister's words, but he would not do this just to save his life.

"Hey, what a picture of brother and sister love."

Xu Shi couldn't help but clap his hands, and didn't forget to pat Xia Wuyou's buttocks, "Learn from this."

“…I don’t know who made me like this.”

Xia Wuyou trembled and subconsciously let out a coquettish sound.

She really wanted to bite Xu Shi to death. She had just said she would reward him in the evening, but what a reward.

"To be honest, I am deeply moved by Miss Shen Qin's selflessness."

Xu Shi chose to ignore her and looked at Shen Qin, who was barely standing. "But you two were going to die anyway. What you said won't change anything."

"After all, negotiations are based on equality. You have nothing to talk about now... Or, do you have anything else?"

He seemed to change his mind, put away his cane, and looked at her with interest.

Shen Qin really wished that there were millions of troops outside, waiting for her order to raze this place to the ground, but unfortunately, the facts were the same as Xu Shi said, and no matter what she said or did, it was in vain.

but.

From the other party's tone, she seemed to hear a hint of room for maneuver.

"As long as you can let my brother go, I...I can do whatever you want."

Shen Qin couldn't figure out Xu Shi's attitude, and after thinking about it, she could only say, "Even if, even if it's my body, you can..."

"Xiaoqin! No!"

Shen He shouted desperately that Xia Wuyou was enough, and if his sister was also killed, there would be no point in him surviving.

"As you are now, can't I still do whatever I want with your body?"

Xu Shi spread his hands and said, "But I do have a small question for you. If you answer it well, I might give you a chance."

"……go ahead."

Shen Qin's throat rolled and he said seriously.

"You, do have two superpowers, right?"

Xu Shi said slowly, "The apparent physical enhancement and the hidden super self-healing... I'm curious how you can bear it? Is it a mutation during awakening, or do you have some special skills?"

!

Shen Qin was shocked and wondered if he had noticed it.

I thought he hadn't noticed it before... It seems nothing can escape his eyes.

Ugh.

This was her biggest secret, but she couldn't care less about the current situation. After thinking for a while, she said in a frustrated tone, "...As you think, my self-healing is transplanted."

"Be specific."

Xu Shi's eyes lit up. It was exactly as he thought.

From the other party's reluctant narration, he finally knew the whole story.

Just like the routine of old-fashioned cool novels, not only is the protagonist lucky, but she, a "long-lost relative", also has her own opportunities - the technology of superpower transplantation is a project that an old senior who took her in when she was stranded among the "Forgotten" has been researching all his life.

A few years later, the old man passed away and the related things came into her hands.

After awakening her superpowers, the aftereffects of "Burning Blood Liberation" almost completely disabled her. As a last resort, she took a risk and found a suitable superpower owner, and found a way to transplant the other person's abilities to herself, thus solving the complications once and for all.

The reason why it was a desperate move was that the project was not perfect and the chance of success was less than one percent...but no matter what, she succeeded.

She didn't tell even Shen He about this matter, let alone her former subordinates - the main reason was that the technology of the "Forgotten" was not capable of further improving it. Her original idea was that if she could counterattack and defeat Xu Shi, it would not be too late to take it out then.

Who would have thought that in the end they would have to do this to gain that tiny possibility of survival.

"interesting."

Xu Shi nodded, "What about the relevant information? Miss Shen Qin should still have it, right?"

"I have a necklace that should be in your hands. Everything is stored in it."

Shen Qin said helplessly, even if she insisted on not telling anyone, the other party would probably be able to find it.

"Go and look for it quickly."

Xu Shi gestured to Su Lin, and the other party immediately left to look for it.

"That's what happened. Now... can you let my brother live?"

Shen Qin gritted her teeth and placed her hope on Xu Shi's ambiguous promise just now.

"Don't worry, if I say there is a chance, then there must be one."

Xu Shi did not answer her question. He crossed his arms and glanced at her. "But do you really not care about your own life or death? I think given your brother's character, he probably wouldn't abandon you to live, right?"

Of course Shen He would not do that, or after saying this, he would not have the face to do so.

"It's none of her business. Let her go if you want."

He stood in front of Shen Qin and said, "Let us settle our grudge. It has nothing to do with her!"

"See, that's what I said."

Xu Shi held his forehead helplessly, took out the "beacon" from the inner pocket of his shirt, and waved it in front of the Shen brothers and sisters.

"Anyway, only one of you can leave here. Let me know after you've discussed it. How about that?"

Guess who will be let go, open bet 1 to 1
