After celebrating his unremarkable twenty-fifth birthday, Xu Shi went to work full of energy the next morning.
This surprised Su Lin... Has the young master completely changed his gender?
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 was obvious that she was very disapproving of Xu Shi's sudden request to awaken his powers.
There are two categories of "upgraded ones".
Some people are born with special abilities, while others need a little help.
Today, the technology for awakening acquired superpowers is quite mature, and "Snake Ring" is the leader in this field. Even the Inspection Bureau needs their support.
So Su Lin's worries don't lie there.
What she cares about are the complications caused by the awakening of powers.
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, even if she can't awaken her powers for a while, it's still a good thing.
The most terrible situation is to awaken useless garbage powers, but still be tortured to death.
(╯•﹏•╰)What if that’s really the case?
And whether she should say it or not, she hasn't done anything about Gu Yi yet... Are you a little too hasty when you say this suddenly?
"What nonsense."
Xu Shi interrupted her, "Just do it if I ask you to do it."
This is not a whim, but because the matter of "Starfire" has not yet been settled.
Hacking is just foreplay, it alone won't lead to victory.
The more critical reason is that there is a mole in the "Snake Ring".
Xia Wuyou, the youngest operations team leader of the "Snake Ring" field department, is also the person in charge of this escort operation.
And she also has an even more fucked up identity - the protagonist Shen He's childhood sweetheart.
With 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 without Xia Wuyou's release, with the number of people and equipment at a disadvantage, the success rate of "Spark"'s operation of pulling out teeth from the tiger's mouth would have been less than 10%.
Not to mention after that... The friendship between former friends rekindled, and Erwuzi finally made up his mind to defect and became the sharpest sword in "Spark".
Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure soar.
And now that the plot has changed, who can ensure that the protagonist will have more than one mind and let Xia Wuyou confirm the authenticity of the list again?
In short, such unsettling factors must be dealt with heavily!
Awakening abilities in advance is also based on this consideration.
Xu Shi knew in his heart that compared to Gu Yi, Xia Wuyou was purer and had a stronger psychological quality... I am afraid that the method of hanging a bomb would have little effect. If not, it would be counterproductive and encourage her to fall into the protagonist's arms early.
We have to rely on the protection of superpowers... To say the least, even if they are not used, the protagonists all have superpowers, so how can he, the villain, be absent?
"……I see."
Seeing Xu Shi's resolute attitude, Su Lin had no choice but to get a small instrument.
"Sundial", developed by Snake Ring, is an instrument that assists in awakening supernatural powers.
"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 suffocation the moment the machine started was beyond Xu Shi's imagination.
It was like falling suddenly into the deep sea, the boundless darkness oppressing my chest, and all I could feel was despair.
However, after a brief moment of panic, Xu Shi quickly calmed down.
It's just a normal reaction to awakening the power... Find the anchor point and everything will be done.
The process was not protracted, and soon he saw the hanging rope.
This is it!
He reached out with all his strength to grab it, and the darkness around him suddenly shattered.
"Hoo!"
The next second, Xu Shi gasped and woke up.
"Master, are you okay?"
Su Lin handed over a glass of water at the right moment and asked with concern.
"Fortunately, it's quite exciting."
After taking the water glass and drinking it in one gulp, Xu Shi took a breath and asked, "Did you succeed?"
"Yes."
Su Lin took the analysis data printed out by "Sundial" in real time, "The results show that the power you awakened is..."
"The entropy of evil thoughts increases"
Xu Shi already had a name in his mind.
Or to put it another way, it can be called "amplification of negative emotions."
No one is perfect, and people will always have different negative emotions in different situations.
Greed, jealousy, sadism, lust...
"The entropy of evil thoughts increases" is the catalyst, allowing the seeds of evil thoughts to blossom and bear fruit, thereby forcing others to fall into one's own rhythm step by step.
According to the setting of the original work, if one is affected by the "entropy of evil thoughts" for too long, the mentality of the affected person will also undergo irreversible changes, and eventually surrender completely at his feet.
(｡・ω・｡) To put it simply, it is evil that falls...
How could he be such a villain even if he has super powers... Even though he had known it would be this, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh to himself.
It won’t turn white even if you wash it thoroughly (doge).
Fortunately, he didn't have any such plans. He just wanted to be a villain, and why did he do all the bells and whistles?
Su Lin didn't know what Xu Shi was thinking, but she was also very pleased.
The rating given by "Sundial" is B, so there is no need to worry at all now...not to mention that the young master has awakened the spiritual power with the greatest potential.
Every time he was upgraded, it brought about qualitative changes.
"Congratulations, young master, but please don't get carried away."
However, she didn't show it, she just calmly narrated, "I will do my best to help you further develop your abilities."
"OK."
Xu Shi ignored her complaints. He really needed to learn from Su Lin in this regard.
"As for now, go have lunch with me."
How come the whole morning has passed... When I awakened my powers, I clearly felt that only a short while had passed.
However, after calculating the time, it was time to go and meet Miss Xia.
----------------------------------------
Eaton Tea Restaurant.
The lunch break at "Snake Ring" is only half an hour.
Because time was so tight, this restaurant, which was close to the company, served quickly, and had cheap prices, became the favorite of those employees who had not yet modified their 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 is really beautiful, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, fair skin, her hair combed into a neat high ponytail, and her uniform without a trace of wrinkles... The elegance in her movements is even more pleasing to the eye.
But the person sitting opposite her was a bit sloppy, wearing a large sports sweatshirt, and deliberately lowered the brim of his hat.
It was obvious that everyone else in the restaurant didn't like this slovenly customer.
But Xia Wuyou didn't care. He just asked in a low voice while eating, "Is this what your leader Shen meant?"
"Yes, Leader Shen said that we would like to ask Miss Xia to cooperate with us as much as possible for the actions the day after tomorrow."
The man in the sweatshirt nodded, "Also, we encountered a situation before, so I have to trouble Miss Xia to confirm the specific personnel configuration of the escort operation."
As he spoke, he handed over a note and a key from under the table, "On the note are the contact information and the key to locker 404 at Metro Station C... The things I promised to Miss Xia earlier are... I put it over there."
"Will you pay me first?"
Xia Wuyou took the things quietly, but his tone was slightly agitated.
"Yes, Chief Shen said, you have been friends for many years, and you still have this bit of trust... He also asked me to bring you a message, wishing your sister-in-law a speedy recovery."
"Okay, say thank you to him for me." Xia Wuyou nodded in greeting.
"You can express your gratitude in person."
The man in the sweatshirt stood up jokingly, "Then I'll leave first. I won't be here long... Have a nice meal, Miss Xia."
Within ten seconds, he disappeared.
Xia Wuyou was still sitting where he was, but his breathing became a little heavy unconsciously.
That was a bottle of SS-level inhibitor, enough to keep my sister-in-law on the sky-high price medicine for another half a year.
If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have taken the risk and reached such a deal with "Xinghuo".
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, this joy disappeared.
I saw a man with gold-rimmed glasses walking into the restaurant, bypassing the crowd, and finally stopped in front of his table.
"There are a lot of people... Do you mind sharing a table, Team Leader Xia?"
