What does "predicting the future" look like?
No one knows the answer to this question. The fact is that since the destruction of "Refraction", the number of people who have personally witnessed Xia Kean's ability has disappeared - not even Xia Wuyou, who was still young at that time.
Xu Shi has never seen it before, but he has always wanted to see it with his own eyes.
And now is the best opportunity. As he said, he doesn't want to let go of any point that may cause changes. Bad men are terrifyingly steady.
"Ha, I knew that Brother Xu Shi would be up to no good if he came to me at night."
Hearing this, Xia Keyan joked, "It's very hard."
"Wait a minute, aren't you looking for me?"
"...That's not important. Aren't we going to work for you now?"
The old aunt moved her butt and leaned into his arms again, then raised her head and looked at him and said, "What matters is whether I want to help you or not."
"You have to be more conscientious."
Xu Shi slashed his hand with a knife and said in anger, "Isn't this what we agreed on at the beginning?"
"Breaking a contract is a girl's prerogative."
"Fuck you, you are a ghost girl. It's disgusting for the old aunt to pretend to be young."
"...Tsk, boys who don't understand amorous feelings are the worst."
The white-haired loli rubbed her head, curled her lips and pretended to be angry, "I'm just kidding, I see you're anxious... I didn't say I wouldn't help you, but I do have conditions."
"You tell me."
Looking at her like a child rolling on the ground to buy toys, Xu Shi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Just...after you finish your work for a while, come hang out with me."
Xia Keyan burst into tears and smiled, "I want to go to the amusement park!"
"It's that simple?"
Xu Shi wasn't too surprised. From the tone of his voice, he knew that the old aunt was just joking.
"It's that simple."
The white-haired loli nodded, "But it's just the two of us, no one else is allowed."
"Okay, okay, okay."
This was indeed not an excessive request, and Xu Shi certainly had no reason to refuse.
"Humph, that's pretty much it."
Xia Keyan smiled even happier, "Then help me clear out my things and make some room?"
"Are you sure you can do it? There won't be any problems, right?"
This was the preparation before activating the ability, but Xu Shi suddenly stopped her and made an additional confirmation.
"If there is a problem, won't the time and energy that some people spend on me be in vain?"
The old aunt suppressed her smile, but her tone seemed more cheerful.
What Xu Shi said "will there be any problems" was of course not a question about her ability, but a concern about her physical condition.
It can be seen that even after being treated for so long, he still can't feel completely relieved.
You are so indecisive, little boy... Xia Keyan smiled subconsciously, but in the final analysis, she was more happy to be cared about so much.
The fact is that she knows exactly what Xu Shi is thinking, and the other party has never concealed it. "I want both people and abilities" is not just words, he also does it.
So she is happy to be intimate with the other person, otherwise she would call you brother stupidly and go to the amusement park? Go fuck yourself.
They talk about each other, the two of them talk to each other, and they get along with each other in a playful and bickering way. In a sense, they really look like an old married couple...
Hearing what she said, Xu Shi finally felt confident, and stepped aside wisely, quietly watching her activate her abilities.
I saw Xia Keyan closing his eyes and showing off his life, ah no, praying, and instantly felt an indescribable sense of oppression.
Anyway, at first glance, this scene was quite shocking - he saw the things around him moving on their own without any wind, and gradually floating in the air little by little. The old aunt didn't even open her mouth, but an indescribable syllable suddenly sounded in his mind. .
Even the body is a little light... Good guy Xia Wuyou's gravity control is inherited from you, right? He finally understood why the white-haired loli had to clear the area before activating her abilities. What if she hit flowers and plants?
NND, you told me earlier, wouldn't it be better to find a place specifically for you to perform?
Of course, this is just a joke. It is obvious that this is the aftermath of predicting the future, and it definitely cannot be used for fighting. But even so, such a large battle is scary enough.
In a daze, Xia Keyan himself gradually became suspended in the air. His closed eyes slowly opened, but his pupils had long since dissipated, replaced by only a deep white light, which made him unable to look directly.
Not long after, the syllables in her mind reached a climax, and the white light in the old aunt's eyes exploded instantly.
For a while, I just felt a pain in my brain. When I came back to my senses, everything just happened was already over. All the objects hanging in the air fell down, making a clanging sound.
Xia Keyan himself was on the verge of falling, Xu Shi had quick eyesight and caught her before she fell to the ground.
"Is this the end?"
He just felt a bit like he was dreaming and asked subconsciously.
"……Yes."
After a while, Xia Keyan answered, the color in his eyes regained little by little.
Even his tone was full of weakness and exhaustion, and his skin color became a little pale.
It can be seen that the activation of her ability in just ten minutes took a lot of energy on her. No wonder she had been injured before. It was a miracle that she didn't die.
However, she didn't seem to have this kind of self-awareness. She even asked proudly, "How is it? Isn't it... quite handsome?"
"Is handsome used to describe girls? Especially when you are an old aunt."
Xu Shi refused to admit it, but he nodded after thinking about it.
Birds eat crickets.
The majestic and ethereal feeling made him even wonder for a moment whether he had gone to the wrong set, and he was so excited that this was almost becoming a fantasy...
But then I think about it, it seems that upgrading the superpower is quite abnormal, right? Teleportation, anti-gravity, manipulating people's hearts, etc. have nothing to do with science... In a sense, everyone is a super silver ner.
The difference was simply about who was more capable - anyway, he had never seen anyone else do it as gaudy as Xia Keyan, and this special effect set the others apart.
Or maybe they are at the SS level. Now he is really looking forward to what it will be like if he can reach this level.
What's more, the white-haired loli only has auxiliary powers. If I remember correctly, grandpa has SS-level combat powers? No, I have to find an opportunity to observe it later...
But now was naturally not the time, so he collected his thoughts and asked, "Did you see anything?"
"...I saw a lot."
Xia Keyan was held in his arms and replied weakly.
From her narration, Xu Shi also gained a better understanding of her abilities.
The ability to "predict the future" is more terrifying than he thought - it is not simply "observing what will happen at a certain time in the future", but a more accurate description is, "If the status quo is maintained, what will happen at a certain time in the future What kind of ending will it become?"
In other words, it is to select and find each if line, which feels a bit like Doctor Strange.
And she can also choose the scope and candidates by herself. For example, if Xu Shi now asks her to predict the future of the struggle between herself and Shen He, she can throw out other unnecessary parts and only start from this angle, saving a lot. trouble.
After all, she had been a pro at it before, so she shouldn't take it easy when doing this kind of thing.
As for the observed results…
"It's similar to your premonition. There are indeed things we haven't considered."
Xia Keyan sighed and said, "And it's an angle that is hard for us to think of."
"Who would have thought that Shen He was trying to exert a large-scale spiritual influence on the ordinary people of the entire Night Sin City through the medium of "divine presence"? "
"really."
Xu Shi was unconvinced. This was indeed one of the few things that he did not expect.
In the original work, Shen He just used this game to transmit information more secretly to a certain extent. He really didn't consider that there was such a way to play.
But this is actually a very feasible method - because the ability of "united as one" is essentially used to win over people's hearts, and similar to the media, or "God's presence" and similar social applications, these are It is a means of influencing other people's thoughts before the superpower appears.
In addition, "God's Arrival" is very popular. Looking at the entire Night Sin City, it seems that there is no other social platform with such energy. The "Forgotten" are all playing... let alone various online reports. The media, under the jurisdiction of "Imaginary Numbers", the news information released by the Qi family and his son are sometimes not as influential as the random news on the public screen of "God's Coming".
"But having said that, can Shen He really do this?"
Xu Shi asked, always feeling that it sounded quite magical.
"At least in the future I can see, he can."
Xia Keyan nodded seriously, "I tried to ignore this matter for future deductions. The result is that when the majority of the player group is incited and voluntarily mobilized to resist the "Snake Ring", your previous deployment will indeed be affected. A big obstacle. "
"In the future that can be observed, only about 50% of the future will be successful in quelling it, 40% of the future will involve both parties being harmed and letting him escape, and 10% of the future will involve him taking advantage of the chaos and succeeding, shooting you in the head."
Damn it?
Hearing this result, Xu Shi's expression became a little strange.
You have already done this, but little friend Shen He still has a 10% chance of winning? Or in other words, there is only a 50% chance that I can drive him away?
It even has an ending that completely follows the direction of the original work... I can only say that it belongs, it belongs.
However, it can be understood from another perspective. Among the millions of people in Night Sin City, there are only a handful of people standing at the top of the pyramid, and the majority are ordinary people.
If they were really able to work together, they would indeed be a force that should not be underestimated.
As for Shen He’s ability to use social platforms as a medium, it does sound outrageous at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, it is actually true. What age is it? This can also be regarded as a manifestation of the combination of technology and superpowers, a sequence of ability evolution. Here, maybe we should take such factors into consideration, such as hitting people through the network cable, but it has been said for a long time, isn't it?
But this was higher than the level he showed during the last confrontation with Shen He. It was obvious that the opponent had developed a lot in secret during the period when he disappeared.
"Also, there is another thing we thought wrong."
Xia Keyan cleared his throat and added, "It's not that 'those people' didn't participate, but the methods are different from what we imagined."
"Oh? Who is it?" Xu Shi raised his eyebrows.
Xia Keyan leaned into his ear and whispered softly.
"...Is it really her?"
Xu Shi was not particularly surprised when he heard the name, and his reaction was not as big as after hearing Shen He's plan.
This was obviously expected.
"Well, it seems that maintaining a sense of crisis is not a bad thing."
Thinking of this, he also breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't know, this matter would be really fatal. The 99% probability was too small for him. The 50% success rate was not as good as purple clay on the spot.
But if you know it, you will naturally have a way to deal with it.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh to himself, no wonder "Refraction" could develop so quickly back then. Isn't it pure cheating to have this ability? There is a problem if you cannot rise...
Fortunately, the old aunt is on his side now. If nothing else is true, if the Xia family's aunt and nephew join the "Spark" side as in the original work, it will definitely be a dimensionality reduction blow. This kind of wealth battle cannot be won, so why not Just open the window and jump headfirst down to mess with him.
This is really only for her. Like Gu Yixia Wuyou, there are others who can deal with it. Only Xia Ke'an is really irreplaceable in terms of ability, and it can't be suppressed. How can this be suppressed?
Of course, if you look at the white-haired lolita from her own point of view, she ultimately chose Xu Shi because of his behavior and personal charm. Even now, she can say that this is sincerity without any burden.
It can only be said that it is a two-way journey.
"Who says it isn't?"
Xia Keyan also smiled. It was obvious that being able to help Xu Shi made her very happy and fulfilled. At least she could return a little favor to him...
"So what does brother Xu Shi want to do now?"
She blinked and asked slyly.
"Brother Xu Shi wants you to take a good rest first."
Xu Shi changed the subject. The fact was that he had to spend some time to think about it...but Xia Keyan was really consumed with it, and he couldn't even talk anymore.
Lifting up the sofa beside him, he temporarily placed the old aunt on it, "I remember Xie Qingyan gave you some medicine before leaving the hospital? Let me get it for you... Do you want something to eat or drink by the way?"
"Whatever you want, please trouble Brother Xu Shi."
The white-haired loli replied unceremoniously, and at the same time teased, "This is the first time you have taken care of me so carefully."
"As you say, it is an honor to serve our great hero."
Xu Shi didn't care about this with her and waved his hand to help her get the medicine.
But when he came back with the potion and food, a very strange thing happened.
Xia Keyan disappeared.
No, it’s not appropriate to say he’s gone. There’s still someone lying peacefully on the sofa, about to fall asleep...
But that was no longer a white-haired little lolita, but an adult woman with a slim figure and a beautiful face. Just one look at her was enough to make people fascinated.
Seeing this scene, the dinner plate in Xu Shi's hand almost fell to the ground.
He also knows this person.
Isn't this the original appearance of Miss Xia Keyan, who was the goddess of her childhood?
This...has changed back?
