It's the age of cyber, and you're still a traditional villain?

Chapter 7 already... can't go back...

"Master, are you sure you want to hand over the escort task to her?"

The atmosphere in the restaurant returned to calm, and Su Lin, who had lifted her guard, asked softly.

"What's wrong with giving it to her?"

Xu Shi smiled and asked back, "There is no more suitable candidate than her."

In fact, when he caught Xia Wuyou's inner turmoil, he knew he was on the safe side.

Not to mention that the other party couldn't refuse the conditions he offered, the most important thing is that Xia Wuyou's only weakness has been firmly grasped by him.

Under such circumstances, how could she not be obedient?
But having said that, Xia Wuyou's psychological quality is indeed very strong. Even after being pulled for so long, his first reaction is still not to give in, but to fight himself to the death.

This was also within Xu Shi's expectations - a tragic accident happened when he was young, and he watched his relatives die before his eyes, and then he had to learn to use his immature shoulders to bear the burden of life alone.

After joining the "Snake Ring", she has also been engaged in dangerous work on the front line of life and death in the field service department... Such an experience is really not something that a kid like Gu Yi can compare.

Fortunately, he was well prepared, and easily defeated her last defensive defense with "Entropy Increase of Evil Thoughts", completely controlling the situation.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome... Xu Shi glanced at the restaurant thoughtfully, all the people who were still dining were silent, none at all, and they didn't dare to have any opinion on the turmoil just now.

Hey, this is how a normal person should react when facing a villain like himself.

Su Lin didn't think about it. From her point of view, the ability has too many uncertainties, and there is no such thing as "because I know what my ability is, so I am in a hurry to awaken it".

Mostly it was a coincidence, which happened to be the icing on the cake.

But she was still very surprised, because she had no idea when Xu Shi knew the details of Xia Wuyou like the back of his hand.

It was the same with Gu Yi last time... I have never seen him say this before!
Is this still the young master who only knew how to spend time, drink, and party?
If she still had doubts before, after going through this incident, she can be sure that she was hiding her clumsiness before Xu Shi.

"Master, how do you know Xia Wuyou's true identity?"

Still unable to restrain herself, she asked cautiously.

"As a group director, isn't it normal to know the situation of your employees?"

Of course Xu Shi would not answer directly, but calmly drank the tea in front of him.

"...It's because the subordinates missed it."

Su Lin paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes in fear, "Please punish me, Master."

It could be seen that although she thought it was a good thing in her heart, Xu Shi's sudden display of wrist still made her a little uneasy.

The words used to perfunctory her were also taken by her as a blow to herself, the HR director.

After all, this was supposed to be her job... If it really caused a catastrophe, she wouldn't be able to escape the responsibility either.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Shi was a little surprised by her reaction, "I'm not blaming you, there's no need to be so...uh..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt dizzy.

The heart rate rose instantly, a sense of tearing spread in the mind, and the surrounding sounds fell into the ears, becoming distorted and blurred.

When he looked at Su Lin again, he suddenly had a strange thought.

Speaking of which, although it was not mentioned in the original book, is she really that trustworthy?
He couldn't be more clear about his original virtues. Is there really someone who will follow him wholeheartedly?

Does she have other thoughts, should I also investigate...

Thinking of this, Xu Shi suddenly felt that his thoughts were a little confused, and his breathing unconsciously became rapid.

"Master?"

Seeing this, Su Lin panicked, but soon she knew what had happened, and hurriedly took out a medicine bottle, and fed him the capsules in it.

The medicine took effect very quickly, and he woke up in less than a minute, and the distracting thoughts in his mind faded away like a tide.

"call……"

After calming down for a while, he still had lingering fears, "I just..."

"I'm sorry, young master, I didn't think carefully."

Su Lin said with concern, "It should be a complication caused by the ability, because it's your first time, and the reaction should be stronger."

"I should have warned you earlier, but fortunately I have been wearing inhibitors..."

"...It's okay, you have a heart."

After a while, it turned out to be this.

Knowing the plot, besides his own abilities, of course he also knows what the complications are.

Hypochondria.

A more technical term is persecution paranoia.

But the original body didn't care about this at all, coupled with his hot eye operation that constantly refreshed the lower limit, this complication eventually made his subordinates no one available, and the whole person fell into a severe madness.

It was one of the key factors leading to his failure.

The blocker that Su Lin gave herself was a targeted drug used to alleviate the symptoms.

Of course, this thing is only effective for mental illness, physical illness cannot be relieved by it.

"...If I remember correctly, Su Linyi should also have a mental complication?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly became curious, "Besides, you are an A-level upgrader, so the symptoms should be more serious... But I don't seem to have seen you take medicine?"

"Yes, after using the ability, I will fall into a state of extreme mania."

Su Lin nodded, and did not hide her weakness from him, "But I have been trained, and now I can restrain myself without drugs."

Xu Shi became even more curious, "On your own? How do you restrain yourself?"

“…listening to songs, soothing songs can help calm the mood.”

Su Lin pointed to the earphone worn on her left ear, "If the young master is willing, I can also share my experience with you...but it will take time. Now, you'd better take the blocker in time after using the ability, so that Avoid unnecessary intrusion."

"Okay, got it."

Xu Wen took the medicine bottle, smiled and sighed.

There is really no need to doubt her... The fact is that Su Lin has been in Xu's family since she was seven years old, and has been conscientiously following her all these years.

From a servant to a bodyguard, to now the right-hand man in the group... Even in the original book, no matter how much Shen He wins him over, she still firmly follows her until she sacrifices her life.

There is no doubt about her loyalty. It can be said that if even she cannot be trusted, there will be no one in this world worthy of his trust.

But having said that, I really didn't get to know her well before, and I was just being a servant.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi secretly rolled his eyes, no wonder the original body was veiled by others, can it all be blamed on others...

"Have you finished eating? Would you like to order another cup of black coffee for you?"

Thinking of this, he shook his head lightly, then smiled and looked at his childhood sweetheart.

Hey?
Hearing this, Su Lin looked a little surprised.

Does the young master actually know what he likes?

He'd never said anything like that before... which flattered her a little.

After a brief silence, Su Lin smiled unconsciously.

"Ah."

"Snake Ring" Heavy Industry, 18:00 pm
Xia Wuyou has always stepped on the clock to get off work, without delaying a minute or a second, like a precision machine.

Naturally, today was no exception, but she seemed to be in a hurry than usual, as if she was about to escape from here.

However, she always walked alone on weekdays, so the colleagues in the Field Service Department did not notice anything unusual.

Anxiously taking the subway back to his residence, Xia Wuyou followed the instructions of "Xinghuo", turned on the computer, downloaded and started a game.

"God's presence"

The high pressure in Night City has made many migrant workers rely on video games as a cheap and effective way to relax.

"Shenlin" is the most popular large-scale MMORPG game nowadays. Whenever you log in, you can see tens of 10 people online at the same time.

However, Xia Wuyou was not very interested in it, so she simply created a character, and then controlled the character to the agreed place.

In the dark alley, there were already people waiting for her arrival.

[Yinhe: You are here, have you brought what I need? 】

[ahsiaoshd: Well, the staffing for tomorrow's operation is...]

In the middle of typing, Xia Wuyou inevitably got stuck.

She still hesitated in her heart... But after a moment of silence, she finally forcibly moved her gaze away from the inhibitor on the table, and then picked up the note that Xu Shi gave her.

[ahsiaoshd: Three Type IV combat teams, forty TC-II tactical drones, and four heavy trucks for cargo, I lead the team myself. 】

When typing these words, Xia Wuyou felt like her fingers were filled with lead, and every keystroke took all the strength out of her whole body.

However, the person who connected with her would naturally not know this.

【Galaxy: (▽`) Great!As I expected, the "Snake Ring" really strengthened the defense... Thank you so much, otherwise we would definitely suffer a lot. 】

[Ahsiaoshd: ...um. 】

[Yinhe: I will greet the operatives, and you have to be careful yourself, otherwise I'm afraid you will be in danger... By the way, speaking of it, after the event is over, can I treat you to a meal?
In fact, I kind of miss it. When I was a child, Uncle Xia always sent you to play in "Tianhe". At that time, we didn't have to think about anything, and you would always grab snacks with me...]

【ahsiaoshd: Hmm, let's talk about it when the time comes, I'm going to take a shower, and you too... have a rest early. 】

After sending this sentence, Xia Wuyou hurriedly logged out and turned off the screen.

Her haste did not arouse Shen He's suspicion. Immediately after logging out of the game, he hurriedly found the man in the sweater.

"The "Snake Ring" has strengthened its staffing, old Chen, is there any problem with you?Do you want me to call Lei Song back to be with you..."

"No, I can handle this situation."

The man in sweater named Chen Fang patted his chest and shook his head, "Trust me, Chief Shen, I will fight the first battle to overthrow the consortium!"

"...Okay, let's go!"

Shen He paused, and then punched him hard.

It can be seen that he is very happy now.

However, what he didn't know was that in the rental house, Xia Wuyou fell powerlessly on the chair, closed his eyes in despair, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

Why, why bring up those past events...

sorry……

But I... can't go back...
