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

After an ordinary 25th birthday, Xu Shi threw himself into work with full energy the next morning.

This surprised Su Lin a little... Has the young master completely changed his character?

However, Xu Shi's next request surprised her even more. "Well, are you sure you want it now? Right here?"

"This kind of thing can be done at any time, you don't have to be so anxious..."

It can be seen that she strongly disapproved of Xu Shi's sudden request to awaken his supernatural powers.

There are two categories of "promoters".

Some people are born with natural abilities, while others need a little help.

Today, the technology for awakening acquired superpowers has become quite mature, and the "Snake Ring" is the leader in this area. Even the Inspection Bureau needs their support.

So Su Lin’s worry is not here.

What she cares about is the complications caused by the awakening of her superpowers.

Superpowers are not a gift to everyone - the "upgrade" caused by the moderately corrosive "rust mist" is far from perfect.

Physical illness, mental devastation...complications vary from person to person, but there are never exceptions.

In her opinion, it would be good even if Xu Shi could not awaken his superpowers.

The worst situation is that after awakening useless and crappy superpowers, one is tortured to the point of excruciating pain.

(╯﹏╰)If that is the case, what can we do?

Besides, she hasn’t dealt with Gu Yi’s matter yet... Isn’t it a bit too hasty for you to say this suddenly?

"What nonsense."

Xu Shi interrupted her, "Just do it if I tell you to."

This was not a whim on his part, but because the matter of "Starfire" had not yet been resolved.

Hacking is just foreplay, it won't lead to a complete victory.

The more crucial reason is that there is a traitor in the "Snake Ring".

Xia Wuyou is the youngest operations team leader of the Snake Ring Field Department and is also the person in charge of this escort operation.

And she has an even more fucked-up identity—the childhood sweetheart of the protagonist Shen He.

Relying on this relationship, Shen He contacted her on the eve of the operation and successfully persuaded her to open a back door for his plan.

It can be said that if Xia Wuyou had not let up, with the team at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and equipment, the success rate of "Xinghuo"'s operation to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth would probably be less than 10%.

Not to mention what happened after that... The old friendship between the old friends rekindled, and the traitor finally made up his mind to defect and became the sharpest sword in "Spark".

Just thinking about it, Xu Shi felt his blood pressure soar.

And now that the plot has changed, who can guarantee that the protagonist will be more careful and ask Xia Wuyou to confirm the authenticity of the list again?

In short, such restless factors must be dealt with severely!

The early awakening of superpowers is based on such considerations. The protagonists all have unique skills, so he, the villain, certainly cannot be absent... With superpowers, there will be an extra layer of means and protection.

And Xia Wuyou was her first experimental subject.

"……I see."

Seeing Xu Shi's firm attitude, Su Lin had no choice but to take out a small instrument.

"Sundial", developed by Snake Ring, is an instrument that assists in awakening superpowers.

"You may feel a little uncomfortable later, so please don't be nervous."

"Well, let's get started."

Although he was mentally prepared in advance, the feeling of suffocation brought by the moment the machine started was still beyond Xu Shi's imagination.

It was like suddenly falling into the deep sea, the boundless darkness pressed on the chest, and all I could feel was despair.

But after a brief panic, Xu Shi quickly calmed down.

It's just a normal reaction to awakening superpowers... Once we find that anchor point, everything will be accomplished.

The process was not slow, and soon he saw the hanging rope.

This is it!

He stretched out his hand with all his strength to grab it, and the darkness around him was instantly shattered.

"Hooah!"

The next second, Xu Shi woke up gasping for breath.

"Master, are you okay?"

Su Lin handed over a glass of water at the right time and asked with concern.

"It's okay. It's exciting."

After taking the cup and drinking it all, Xu Shi took a breath and asked, "Did it work?"

"Yes."

Su Lin took the analysis data printed out in real time by the Sundial and said, "The results show that your awakened ability is..."

"Evil thoughts increase entropy"

Xu Shi already had a name in his mind.

Or to put it another way, you can call it "magnification of negative emotions."

No one is perfect, and people will always have different negative emotions in different situations.

Greed, jealousy, sadism, lust...

"Entropy increase of evil thoughts" is the catalyst that allows the seeds of evil thoughts to blossom and bear fruit, thus forcing others to fall into one's own rhythm step by step.

According to the setting of the original work, if the person is affected by the "entropy increase of evil thoughts" for too long, the mentality of the affected person will undergo irreversible changes, and eventually he will completely succumb to himself.

(ω) Simply put, it is the evil that falls...

How come even superpowers are so villainous... Although he knew it would be this, Xu Shi still couldn't help but smile at himself.

It can't be completely washed away (doge).

Fortunately, he didn't have such an intention. If he wanted to be a villain, he should just do it well. Why bother with all those fancy things?

Su Lin didn’t know what Xu Shi was thinking, but she was also very relieved.

The rating given by "Sundial" is B, so there is no need to worry at all... Not to mention that the young master has awakened the most potential psychic ability.

Every upgrade brings about qualitative changes.

"Congratulations, young master, but please don't get carried away."

But she didn't show it, and just narrated calmly, "I will do my best to help you further develop your superpowers in the future."

"Okay."

Xu Shi ignored her complaints. He really needed to learn from Su Lin in this regard.

"For now, please accompany me to have lunch."

How come an entire morning has already passed... It only felt like a short while had passed when I awakened my superpowers.

However, considering the time, it is time to go meet Miss Xia.

-

Eton Tea House.

The lunch break at the Snake Ring is only half an hour.

Due to the tight schedule, this restaurant, which is close to the company, serves food quickly and has cheap prices, has become the favorite of those employees who have not yet been equipped with mechanical stomachs.

Xia Wuyou was also one of them. At this moment, she was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, enjoying her lunch leisurely.

She was really beautiful, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, fair skin, her hair combed into a neat high ponytail, and her uniform without a single wrinkle... Her elegance in every move was even more pleasing to the eye.

But the guy sitting opposite her was a little sloppy, wearing a loose sports sweatshirt and his hat brim was deliberately pulled down.

It was obvious that other people in the restaurant didn't like this unkempt customer.

However, Xia Wuyou didn't care. He just ate and asked in a low voice, "Is this also what your leader Shen meant?"

"Yes, Chief Shen said that for the operation the day after tomorrow, we hope Miss Xia can cooperate with us as much as possible."

The man in the hoodie nodded. "Also, we encountered a problem before, so we'd like to trouble Miss Xia to confirm the specific personnel deployment for the escort operation."

As he spoke, he passed a note and a key from under the table. "The note contains the contact information and the key to the locker 404 at Subway Station C... The things I promised to give to Miss Xia are placed there."

"Will you pay me first?"

Xia Wuyou took the things silently, but his tone was slightly excited.

"Yes, Chief Shen said that you have been friends for many years, and there is still some trust... He also asked me to bring you a message, wishing your aunt a speedy recovery."

"Okay, thank him for me." Xia Wuyou nodded.

"You can thank me in person."

The man in the hoodie stood up and said jokingly, "I'll be leaving first, I can't stay here for long... Have a nice meal, Miss Xia."

In ten seconds, he was gone.

Xia Wuyou still sat there, but his breathing unconsciously became heavy.

That was a bottle of SS-grade inhibitor, a sky-high-priced medicine that was enough to keep my aunt going for another half a year.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have taken the risk to make such a deal with "Starfire".

Just get it after get off work, and then go to the hospital... Thinking of this, a smile gradually appeared on the girl's face.

But the next second, the joy disappeared.

I saw a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walk into the restaurant, walk around the crowd, and finally stop in front of his table.

"There are a lot of people here... Do you mind sharing a table, Team Leader Xia?"
