What’s wrong with the dream world!

As the first government in the world to propose and restrict the various rights and benefits of destiny holders through written laws and regulations, the Federation has sufficient experience in managing destiny holders, has considered many possibilities, and has made improvements based on many special cases.

For example, there was once a person with a "secret" realm destiny who was awakened later because he resigned and stayed at home for a whole week without anyone calling to sell or sending messages, and no one even spent a second to remember anything about him. Because he could not control his ability, he went to the local Supervisory Office to register, but no one paid any attention to him.

If there hadn't been a person passing by who had the "omniscience" field and the ability priority to detect that something was wrong, he would have probably gone down the path of crime because of the transparent world.

Similarly, when faced with people like No. 13 who have lost trust in the authorities due to their special experience of persecution in childhood, the Federation will humanely give them a chance.

Of course, these are all internal procedures that are little known to the public, and they are not deep rules that can be found in the federal civil and criminal law books in the library.

There are some things that you can only know by experiencing them personally or by joining the system that makes the rules.

After reading the words on the document, No. 13 did not start writing immediately. Instead, he looked gloomily at the woman behind the two-way transparent isolation window. She was well-dressed, kept a polite smile, and looked very strong.

That is Xu Yuanjie.

“This is an opportunity that few people have.”

Xu Yuanjie leaned back slightly, assuming a relaxed posture, and said in her usual relaxed tone:

"Although this is also related to the fact that you haven't caused too much trouble to society, you are still unwilling to register with the Federation even though you know that the Federation will accept you..."

Xu Yuanjie deliberately paused, raised her hand slightly, and made a small gesture towards the surveillance camera.

The people outside immediately understood.

The next moment, the interrogation room recorders, audio recorders, and cameras, whether visible or hidden, all stopped working, even more decisively than when they first faced the request of the [Federal Girl].

"I spent a lot of effort to keep you as a free man, not as the property of the Federation."

As Xu Yuanjie spoke, several silver chains dropped from the ceiling and hung on No. 13's head, neck, shoulders, and legs.

"If you don't know how to cherish the opportunity before you and waste my kindness towards you, then let your cheap life play a greater role in my hands."

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 113: Care

"..."

The coolness of the silver chain seeped into No. 13's skin through the bandages wrapped around him.

The bandages, endowed by the Sailor with the property of stabilizing some aspects of reality, serve as one of the preventive measures within the prison. In order to prevent the holder of the fate who can manipulate and influence others from using the prison staff as hostages, the scope of its effect naturally includes multiple areas such as "mind", "soul", and "power".

But not enough.

The power given is not strong enough and the influence exerted is not deep enough.

The bandage easily sealed No. 13's "induction", but was powerless to resist Xu Yuanjie's simple and rough "domination".

The silver chain was slow only because Xu Yuanjie deliberately exerted pressure on him. Compared to a person with the "Faith" fate who would become depressed and die immediately after being captured, the [Ruler] valued the other values of No. 13 more.

For example, a gift to improve your lover's favor, and a channel to get to know your lover's information.

Number Thirteen's expression remained unchanged, as if the increasing number of chains that were wrapped around him were not worth mentioning at all.

But in fact, No. 13, who had a gloomy expression at this time, was actually sweating profusely.

Although he had been obsessed with missionary work, he did not recognize this "pillar" who occasionally appeared in newspaper news when they first met.

But while imprisoned in the Obsidian Prison, he heard from other people's gossip their awe for the woman who had arrested him, as well as ridicule for his own bad luck. They described himself as "an unlucky priest who was just about to officially begin his journey of salvation but was captured and enslaved by a passing devil."

Number Thirteen also understood what kind of person this person, whom he initially thought was just an ordinary federal wanted person, was, and how naive his original thoughts were.

But he can choose to remain silent in the face of a powerful force that he cannot resist, just as he will not succumb to Zero's threat of violence.

Seeing that her body had obviously begun to tremble unnaturally, but she was too stubborn to say anything, Xu Yuanjie pinched her chin with her slender fingers, frowning slightly.

In fact, she rarely met someone like No. 13 who could neither be tortured nor "dominated".

The owners of the destiny in the field of "Faith" are like fungi that grow wildly in the wild but are very easy to die in a laboratory with a more suitable environment. After being dominated by the owners of the destiny in the field of "Power", they are extremely likely to fall into an extreme state of self-destruction.

And it was impossible for Xu Yuanjie to really hurt or torture him.

After all, although he was not his lover's pet dog, but just a clinging stray dog, his lover had teased and fed him after all.

Even if you don't have the heart to raise it, as long as you have fed it, it would still be a pity to see it die on the street. And if it died at the hands of someone else, you would even feel disgusted with that person...Xu Yuanjie also considered this aspect.

[Nightmare]'s memory of [The Priest] only stopped when [The Priest] fell into the hands of [The Ruler].

And based on Xu Yuanjie's understanding of Yu Xiude and himself, he believed that the [Ruler] would definitely try to control the [Priest], even if the realms of "faith" and "power" did not match, because...

"If you can't get it, destroy it completely."

This is Yu Xiude’s impression of Xu Yuanjie when she was a child.

This is also what Xu Yuanjie once said to Yu Xiude.

Even after many years, when the two met again, Xu Yuanjie, who had grown and changed a lot, expressed very obvious kindness, even almost explicitly admitting that his imperfect lurking was because a tangible big hand helped him to clean up the traces...

But there was still a chance that Yu Xiude would judge him as "the [Ruler] was determined to get him, so he helped him clean up his tracks and wanted to use him as a secret weapon."

This is not okay.

The [Ruler]'s determination to obtain [Nightmare] was in another sense, and Yu Xiu De was also wrong. Xu Yuan Jie had never used the lover she unilaterally recognized as a chip on the gambling table for the future.

A beautiful crown and a necklace hanging around your neck only need to be worn by yourself to show their brilliance. The scepter and sword in your hand should be responsible for defending power and status.

Xu Yuanjie knew the importance of changing her current image in Nightmare's mind.

So she stopped exerting pressure, retracted the chain, and deliberately spoke in a nonchalant tone:

"What a shame. Even for his sake..."

Before he could finish his words, Number Thirteen could no longer sit still.

For the current No. 13, he can tolerate oppression and violence. Although he is panicked and afraid, he will never blaspheme his own beliefs again like he did in the past and cause trouble for Yu Xiu De.

But if I become trouble again...

"What is your relationship with him?"

Number Thirteen spoke in a hoarse voice, his eyes fixed on Xu Yuanjie in front of him.

The other party is not the research institute's experimental subject.

Xu Yuanjie still had a smile on her face, as if everything was under control.

"What is my relationship with him?"

Her expression was gentle, and her strong aura subsided slightly. She did not directly answer the question, but hinted at it indirectly:

"Why do you think he's been able to stay undetected for all these years? And why do you think I went to so much trouble to rescue you?"

Although Xu Yuanjie really wanted to say that Yu Xiu De was her lover, since she had decided to release Palu, who was difficult to tame, Xu Yuanjie would not show it too much.

As expected, after hearing Xu Yuanjie's answer, a hint of confusion and disbelief appeared on No. 13's gloomy face.

He did not know about the conversation between Xu Yuanjie and Yu Xiu De in his dying dream. He only knew that the other party was a big shot in the federal system, and claimed to be his former umbrella. He also knew No. 6 and knew the identity of No. 6 [Nightmare] but did not report him.

Number Thirteen murmured softly:

"Could it be that……"

Keeping a smile on her face, Xu Yuanjie nodded secretly in her heart.

That's right, that's right...

At this moment, No. 13's originally gloomy expression disappeared, and he said excitedly:

"Could it be that you are his subordinate?"

Number Thirteen's originally tense mood relaxed a little, he felt that he had found his own people.

Xu Yuanjie's smile disappeared.

Noticing the obvious strange expressions on the faces of the people around him, Thirteen thought there was something wrong with his wording and hesitantly changed his tone:

"...Or perhaps one of his followers, like me?"

Xu Yuanjie sighed helplessly.

She raised her right hand and made a loose grip.

!!!

The next moment, No. 13, who was originally sitting in his seat, covered his chest with his hands, his face showing pain.

[The Ruler] "ruled" his heart.

Power cannot touch faith, but it can control the body.

"Think again."

Xu Yuanjie's face showed a "nuclear-kind" smile again. There was no doubt that No. 13's words touched the sore spot of the [Ruler].

No one can make the [Ruler] his subordinate, no one is worthy of the [Ruler] following, not even the six supreme permanent members of the Federation.

Neither your past first love, your current lover, nor your future spouse is acceptable.

"I'll give you one more chance."

Number Thirteen got up from the ground and sat in his seat with a gloomy face. He put on an attitude of "As expected, you and I are not in the same group" again and stared at Xu Yuanjie viciously.

But it seemed that Number Thirteen was also very curious about the relationship between this woman who held a high position in the federal system and Number Six, whom he admired and believed in. So he stopped remaining silent and said tentatively:

"Could it be that you want to control him without the Federation's knowledge? Do you want to become his [ruler]?"

Number Thirteen said in a deep voice:

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more for us to talk about. You'd better kill me..."

Before No. 13 finished speaking, Xu Yuanjie, who was behind the isolation window, slowly lowered her crossed legs, stood up from the chair, and raised her hand to touch the isolation window.

A silver-black chain spreading from the void quickly inserted into Xu Yuanjie's back.

That is the [Ruler] using the ability of the person whose fate she is "ruling".

[Terrorists] 'Explosion'!

Bang!

In an instant, the isolation window that could withstand the heavy blow of a hammer shattered instantly, and glass fragments flew into the isolation room, many of which fell on No. 13.

Fortunately, the bandage on his body was made of special material with excellent toughness and was not cut.

But No. 13 still instinctively raised his hands to cover his face.

"A defective person like you only thinks about superiors and inferiors? Even if you say you're friends, I'll take it as your effort."

The sound was clearly audible in No. 13's ears, as if it was very close!

Bang!

Xu Yuanjie overturned the table with agility and strength that was completely disproportionate to her body. She threw a beautiful kick and the heel of her high heels landed heavily on No. 13's abdomen.

A strong stinging sensation mixed with a dull pain came from No. 13's abdomen. The powerful impact caused No. 13 to fly towards the wall with the chair and then fall to the floor.

No. 13, like a mummy, held his stomach and retched continuously, looking as miserable as when he faced the [Federal Girl].

"Don't compare me with someone like you who possesses a lower fate, and don't deliberately distort the relationship between me and him."

Xu Yuanjie put away her smile, and obvious impatience appeared on her face.

"And I really shouldn't have any expectations for you guys, the scraps collected by ordinary people for research."

Xu Yuanjie walked slowly to No. 13.

As if she had thought of something, she added seriously:

"Of course, not all the experimental subjects in your research institute are defective."

"[Fate] can bring power, but it also actually affects thinking and perception of the world, and can even bring extraordinary wisdom and experience beyond reality."

"But the last category, capable of 'coming from ignorance' and almost being born with knowledge, is only possessed by a very small number of people, such as the Federation's [Prophet], such as me, such as..."

"Your institute's experimental subjects number one and six."

Number Thirteen, who had finally recovered from the pain, felt a chill in his heart.

This woman who looked neither friend nor foe knew about the research institute, which made him feel extremely uneasy. He was familiar with the concept of 'from ignorance' and knew that No. 6 was probably the one with that type of fate.

This type of destiny is most common in the field of "omniscience", but it also exists in other fields.

But Number One was someone that even his own experimental subject didn't fully understand. It was even possible that Number Six was the only one in the institute who knew about the unknown Number One. Number Thirteen couldn't understand why Xu Yuanjie could be so sure. Could it be...

This federal high-level official has information about all the experimental subjects in the institute.

This terrifying thought made No. 13 tremble in his heart, and Xu Yuanjie's contemptuous tone also made him feel uncomfortable... It might also be related to the actual physical pain in his abdomen.
