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

"There can only be one He Yuxia in this world, right?"

Miss He Er smiled again, "If the old doesn't go, how can the new come?"

Everyone understood the subtext of this statement. The original He Yuxia was probably, no, definitely dead, and from that moment on, the He Yuxia in front of them took her place.

This also made everyone's expressions become somewhat solemn.

If the change of dynasties overnight is a macro-horror, then this is a micro-horror - God knows how many "righteous" people are hiding in the City of Night Sins, and they may very well be anyone around you, even your relatives and friends who live with you day and night, or even your bedmate?

All of this was extremely difficult to detect. To be honest, if it weren't for Xia Ke'an's help, even Xu Shi might not be able to be completely sure that there was something fishy going on behind He Yuxia's back. She disguised herself so well, hadn't she been doing this for so many years?

This situation is not an isolated case... For a moment, no one can remain at peace.

"I can't get anything out of her for now... Let's take her away first."

After a long silence, Xu Shi finally let out a sigh.

Ning Wei nodded in understanding.

"Is it true that you can't ask any more questions? Or... you don't want to continue asking?"

Seeing that she was about to be placed under house arrest, He Yuxia suddenly raised her voice, "Then why don't I tell you a few more things?"

"For example... there may be many people who are "Tianli", but I know that there will only be one "Supervisor". "

"so?"

The little curly-haired boy was unable to turn around for a moment.

"I came to Night Sin City only ten years ago, and before that, this position had been vacant for about fourteen or fifteen years."

He Yuxia's expression became a little distorted, "Then aren't you curious about who the "Supervisor" before me was?"

"Do not want to."

Xu Shi waved his hand in an uncharacteristic manner, "Looking at you is disgusting enough, it doesn't matter who that person is."

"I have to say it even if I don't want to!"

He Yuxia yelled out of control, "That person is your mother, and your biological daughter, Wen Rujin!"

!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expression and turned to look at Xu Shi.

Everyone knows Wen Rujin's name. She was once a rising star in the City of Night Sin. When she got married, she broke many young people's hearts. Later, she fell ill and died shortly after giving birth to Xu Shi. Her beautiful but short life was also a pity.

But this is not the point. The point is that she is also a "righteous person"? I don't deny that this is He Yuxia's random accusation, but it will inevitably make people suspicious.

If Wen Rujin is really the "Supervisor" of the previous generation, then what is Xu Shi?

The only one who didn't look at him was Wen Shengkui. His face was filled with unprecedented shock. He wanted to say something for a moment, but it seemed as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything.

Deep down, the old man definitely didn't want this to be true - in a sense, He Yuxia was his spiritual sustenance after his daughter's early death. The innocence and beauty she displayed were very similar to Wen Rujin of the past. Now that the truth has been revealed and it turned out to be just a scam, how could he feel good about it?

Now that this student has revealed such shocking news, the situation is even worse. When did my daughter become an "observer"? Or was she the same as He Yuxia? Was she switched at some point? Does that mean that the real Wen Rujin has long been dead, and the latter one is just a fake...

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly covered his chest and held on for a long time but was still a little shaky.

"Director Wen!"

Ning Wei acted quickly and supported him, fed him medicine, and helped him adjust his wheelchair to make him more comfortable.

"...I'm fine."

Wen Shengkui took a few deep breaths and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry.

"It's just a heart-breaking attack, who would believe it?"

Xu Shi was even calmer than him and laughed sarcastically, "How dare you destroy my faith?"

"You know better than me whether this is true or not! I'm afraid you already have the answer in your mind!"

He Yuxia laughed loudly and was dragged away with an unprecedented crazy look.

This farce came to an end just like that.

After something like this happened, it was difficult for everyone to calm down, so the three parties only had a brief discussion, determined some future matters, and then dispersed.

The development of Night Crime City cannot stop, but the search for "Heavenly Law" cannot be relaxed either.

"Xu Shi, Xu Shi, are you...really okay?"

As soon as he got home, Xia Ke'an took the initiative to go into Xu Shi's room and expressed his concern tentatively.

"How do you know I'm in trouble?"

Xu Shi held her in his arms as usual, "You might as well care about yourself instead of me. Look at you just now, you were like crazy."

"But I'm fine now."

The white-haired girl pouted her lips. "It's you... You look calm, but I know you feel bad. Don't argue. Don't think you're the only one who can read people's expressions."

"Alright alright."

Xu Shi did not argue with her and acquiesced. "Although I really don't have much impression of my mother, she is the one who gave birth to me after all... It would be difficult for anyone to remain calm when hearing such a thing, right?"

"So if you want to cry, just cry. You can cry in my arms."

Xia Ke'an understood this very well. In this respect, they really shared the same suffering.

"…Forget it. I feel uncomfortable."

Xu Shi looked down at the old aunt's flat front and shook his head with disgust.

"You want to die, don't you?"

Xia Ke'an was so angry that he reached out to grab his face.

Xu Shi didn't indulge her, and the two of them soon had a quarrel.

"…But I think He Yuxia is lying to you."

After playing around for a while, the two seemed to be in a much better mood and could think about things more rationally. "Actually, Jin and I are quite familiar with each other. We grew up together playing together... I didn't notice anything abnormal about her. I'm afraid she just wants to anger you and hurt your heart, just as you said."

"Not necessarily."

Xu Shi had a different opinion on this. "From He Yuxia's performance, the degree of disguise of these "supervisors" is far beyond our imagination. Hasn't she never been discovered by anyone in all these years? This alone doesn't prove anything."

"In fact, the possibility that my mother is an "Overseer" is very high, because she meets the requirements to become an "Overseer". "

"What conditions?"

The white-haired loli blinked her eyes.

"First, the 'Supervisor' needs to have a certain amount of energy, otherwise it will be very troublesome to help with micromanagement and allow the deduction of 'Heavenly Principle' to proceed smoothly."

Xu Shi analyzed seriously, "Secondly, this person cannot be too conspicuous. Keeping a low profile will help them act in secret. If something goes wrong, no one will suspect them first."

At least that was the case with He Yuxia. At the beginning, Xu Shi's suspicion of her was "Is this guy trying to play the pig and eat the tiger, planning "Shark Tooth" or "Feather Pen"?", not what happened between her and Shen He.

In fact, she is quite low-key, and not many people would pay attention to this marginal figure in the consortium.

In short, it is like those characters in novels who "seem unimportant but can be of great use at critical moments."

Xia Ke'an nodded thoughtfully. She would never deny the first point. Wen Rujin's status and position could definitely be described as prominent. She herself was also an S-level "upgrader" and possessed a very incredible mind-reading ability. Until now, she believed that Xu Shi's abilities were partly inherited from this old friend.

but.

"But Jin doesn't meet your second point."

She still had some doubts about this. "You may not know this because you are young, but your mother was just as popular as me in the upper class circles of Night City."

"But she is not at the core of the consortium like you, right?"

Xu Shi tapped her forehead. "Not only did she fail to inherit the "Quill Pen" as the only daughter, but she also broke up with her grandfather under pressure and married my dad... It's like a movie star retiring at the peak of his career. No matter how glorious he was before, he will gradually fade out of people's sight."

"It seems to make sense."

The old lady thought about it carefully and found that it was really hard to refute. "So what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter what I think."

Xu Shi smiled, "If my mother is not, then everyone will be happy. He Yuxia is at the end of her strength and just said a few words casually. What effect can it have?"

"What if she really is?"

"If she really is... then have you ever considered a question?"

Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "He Yuxia took over my mother's position more than ten years later. This shows that the duties of the "Supervisor" were not important during that period. They were still laying the groundwork for Shen He's affairs... If that's the case, why did she suddenly die inexplicably?"

He hadn't dug too deeply into this before, but based on the premise that "his mother was the previous generation of "Supervisor"," he actually couldn't accept the statement that "her health was poor after giving birth to him and she died suddenly in the end."

The more likely possibility is that there is a disagreement between Wen Rujin and "Heavenly Principle", and the reason for this disagreement...is most likely himself.

Because if he followed the original script, he would be the rubbish villain who was stepped on the head and slapped in the face by Shen He, and as the "Supervisor", Wen Ruijin's next task would be to guide himself and grow step by step into the expected person.

So, as her biological mother, would she accept such an arrangement? To raise her own flesh and blood to waste, and then give it to the protagonist as an experience pack?

Most likely she couldn't accept it, so she rebelled against "natural law", and then...for the "supervisor" who was out of control, "natural law" naturally would not let her stay.

“…Shouldn’t it be like this?”

Xia Ke'an pursed her lips. If that was true, it would be too upsetting. She felt it was too much.

"This is just a guess."

Xu Shi smiled and said, "If that's the case, I suddenly feel very touched... You know, I have never experienced any maternal love. If my mother really did that because of me... then I owe her."

"And you said it doesn't matter what you think."

The old lady curled her lips. She had never seen the little boy with such an expression.

"It doesn't matter, because neither situation will affect my decision."

"What decision?"

"Find out the 'principle of heaven', then cut it, slice it, and chop it into pieces."
