What Xu Shi wanted to ask was also what everyone else present wanted to ask.
"Tianli" is an organization, and of course it is impossible for He Yuxia to be the only one. Even her status in it is insignificant. She was abandoned immediately when something went wrong, which is the best proof.
Then this matter is horrifying to think about - there are probably many people like her hidden in the City of Night Sin, each performing their own duties in the "Tianli" organization... The key is that they still have enough power to survive day and night. The ability to destroy two major financial groups in a short time, no, even to change the dynasty here, how can this not scare people?
As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief but not a thousand days to prevent a thief. It is still necessary to conduct a careful screening. Even if you cannot catch them all, it is still good to follow the clues and find some - especially from He Yuxia, you can see that "the law of heaven" It's not invulnerable, it's just that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the light, and it's not that easy to defeat.
only.
After hearing Xu Shi's question, He Yuxia just smiled bitterly and shook her head, "...I don't know."
"Are you talking back?"
Ye Shanshan had a bad temper. Hearing this, he rushed over and punched her, "Have you really never seen Prism's methods? If you keep being tough, I'll make you fly! "
No wonder she couldn't restrain herself. Everyone present was not very calm right now - whoever it was would have a hard time staying absolutely calm knowing that she was just being manipulated like a pawn.
"Of course I know. Let alone you two, even if anyone tortures me to extract a confession, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it."
He Yuxia received a punch, but did not change her words, "But if you don't know, you don't know. Even if you beat me to death or make me into a sex doll, it won't change this fact."
"...Forget it, stop it, I guess she really doesn't know."
Xu Shi was the best at discerning people's hearts, and could sense that she was not resisting, so he spoke to stop Little Curly Hair.
If you think about it carefully, you will actually know that these people are probably working in their own way, and they are not aware of the existence of their colleagues, in order to prevent the current situation from happening one day, where they pull out the carrots and bring up the mud.
but.
"You should at least know the person you're interacting with, right?"
He looked at Miss He Er meaningfully, "Don't tell me that you were born as a "natural person". "
"...You are right, I was born as a "natural" person. "
He Yuxia's answer was beyond everyone's expectations, "Or maybe I'm not really He Yuxia, I just need to be her to hide my identity as a "supervisor." "
"We have been living in a sealed warehouse since birth. We are trained as backup "supervisors" and will be dispatched when needed. As soon as our eyes are closed and opened, it is a new world and a new life. "
"Then the original He Yuxia..."
Xu Shi frowned when he heard this.
"There can only be one He Yuxia in this world, right?"
Miss He Er in front of her smiled again, "If the old one doesn't go away, how can the new one come?"
Everyone knows the subtext of these words. The original He Yuxia is probably, no, definitely dead, and from that moment on, the He Yuxia in front of her has taken her place.
This also made everyone's expressions become a little solemn.
If the change of dynasties overnight is a macroscopic horror, then this is a microscopic horror - God knows how many "Tianli" people are hidden in the City of Night Sin, and they are likely to be anyone around them, even Are they the relatives, friends, or even the person next to you who you spend time with so and so day and night?
And all of this is extremely difficult to detect. To be honest, if it weren't for Xia Keyan's help, even Xu Shi might not be completely sure that there is something behind He Yuxia. She pretends to be so good, hasn't she been like this for many years?
This situation is not unique... No one can maintain peace of mind for a while.
"I can't ask anything for the moment... Let's take her down first."
After being speechless for a while, he sighed softly.
Ning Wei nodded understandingly.
"Is it true that you can't ask? Or... you don't want to continue asking?"
Seeing that she was about to be placed under house arrest, He Yuxia suddenly raised her voice, "Then I might as well tell you a few more things, right?"
"For example... there may be many people with "Tianli", but I know that there will only be one "Supervisor". "
"so?"
Curly Hair didn't turn around for a while.
"I only came to the City of Night Sin ten years ago, and before that, this position was vacant for about fourteen or five years."
He Yuxia's expression became a little distorted, "Then aren't you curious about who the "supervisor" before me was? "
"In no mood."
Xu Shi waved his hand uncharacteristically, "Looking at you is disgusting enough, it doesn't matter who that person is."
"I'll say it even if I don't want to!"
He Yuxia yelled out of control, "That person is your mother and your biological daughter, Wen Rujin!"
!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present changed their expressions and turned to look at Xu Shi.
We all know Wen Rujin's name. She was once a rising star in the City of Night Sin. She broke the hearts of countless young people when she got married. Later, she fell ill and died shortly after giving birth to Xu Shi. It was beautiful but short-lived. His life is also disappointing.
But that's not the point. The point is that she is also a "natural person"? There is no denying that this is He Yuxia's heart-wrenching words, but it will inevitably make people a little suspicious.
If Wen Rujin is really the "supervisor" of the previous generation, then what does Xu Shi mean?
The only one who didn't look at him was Wen Shengkui. His face was filled with unprecedented shock. He wanted to say something for a moment, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't say anything.
The old man never hoped that this was true - in a sense, He Yuxia was his spiritual sustenance after his daughter's early death. The simple beauty shown by her was very similar to that of Wen Rujin in the past. Now, How can I feel better when the truth is revealed and it's just a scam?
Now this student has revealed such shocking information, and the situation is even worse. When did the daughter develop into a "supervisor"? Or is it the same as He Yuxia? I don’t know when the package was transferred? Does that mean that the real Wen Rujin has died a long time ago, and the one behind is just a fake...
Thinking of this, the old man suddenly covered his heart and held on for a while but was still a little shaky.
"Director Wen!"
Ning Wei, who had quick eyes and quick hands, supported him, fed him medicine, and helped him adjust his wheelchair to make him more comfortable.
"...I'm fine."
Wen Shengkui took a few deep breaths and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry.
"It's just heart-breaking, who believes it?"
Xu Shi was calmer than him and smiled sarcastically, "How dare you break my Taoist heart?"
"You know better than me whether it's true or not! I'm afraid you already have the answer in your heart!"
He Yuxia laughed loudly and was forcibly dragged down with an unprecedented crazy look.
This farce ended like this.
It was difficult for everyone to calm down when something like this happened, so the three parties only briefly discussed it, decided on some future matters, and then dispersed.
The development of Night Sin City cannot be stopped, but the search for "Tianli" cannot be relaxed either.
"Are you...really okay?"
As soon as he returned home, Xia Keyan took the initiative to get into Xu Shi's room and expressed tentative concern.
"How could you tell that something was wrong with me?"
Xu Shi held her in his arms as usual, "It's better to care about yourself than to care about me. You looked like you were crazy just now."
"But I'm fine now."
The white-haired loli pouted, "On the contrary, you... look calm, but I know you feel uncomfortable inside. Don't refute, don't think you are the only one who understands what is happening."
"Alright alright."
Xu Shi did not argue with her, and acquiesced, "Although I really have no impression of my mother, she is the one who gave birth to me... It would be difficult for anyone to hear such a thing. No trouble, right?"
"So if you want to cry, just cry. You can lie in my arms and cry."
Xia Keyan understands this very well. On this point, the two of them really have the same problem.
"...It's better to forget it, I feel so embarrassed."
Xu Shi lowered his head and looked at the old aunt Yi Ma Pingchuan's front, and shook her head with disgust.
"Are you going to die?"
Xia Keyan was furious and reached out to grab his face.
Xu Shi didn't let her get used to it, and the two soon got into trouble.
"...But I think He Yuxia is lying to you."
After playing around for a while, the two of them seemed to be in a much better mood and were able to think more rationally, "I'm actually quite familiar with Ah Jin. We grew up playing together since we were little... I didn't realize it." There's something unusual about her, I'm afraid she just wants to anger you and kill you just like you said."
"Not necessarily."
Xu Shi had a different view on this, "Judging from He Yuxia's performance, the degree of disguise of these "supervisors" is far beyond our imagination. Hasn't she been seen through by anyone in so many years? This alone doesn't mean anything. "
"In fact, it is very possible that my mother is a "supervisor" because she meets the conditions for becoming a "supervisor". "
"What conditions?"
The white-haired loli blinked her eyes.
"First, the "Supervisor" needs to have a certain amount of energy, otherwise it will be very troublesome to ask for micro-management help to make the deduction of "Tianli" proceed smoothly. "
Xu Shi analyzed seriously, "Secondly, this person should not attract too much attention. Keeping a low profile helps them act in secret. If something happens, no one will immediately suspect them."
At least that's the case for He Yuxia. At the beginning, Xu Shi's doubts about her were "Is this guy trying to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger, planning "shark teeth" or "quills"?" rather than what was going on between her and Shen He. .
And she is actually very low-key, and not many people usually notice this marginalized figure in the consortium.
In short, it is like those characters in the game that "seem not very important, but can be of great use at critical moments."
Xia Keyan nodded thoughtfully. The first point she would never deny was that Wen Rujin's status could definitely be described as prominent, and she herself was also an S-class "upgraded person" and had quite a lot. The incredible mind-reading ability, until now, she believed that part of Xu Shi's ability was inherited from this former friend.
But.
"But Ah Jin doesn't meet the second point you mentioned."
She still had doubts about this, "You may not know at such a young age that your mother was no less popular than me in the upper class circles of Night City."
"But she is not at the core of the consortium like you, right?"
Xu Shi knocked on her forehead, "Not only did she not inherit the "quill pen" as an only daughter, but she also broke up with my grandfather under pressure and married my father... This is like a movie star retiring at its peak. No matter how beautiful it was before, it will gradually fade out of people's sight. "
"It seems to make sense."
The old aunt thought about it carefully and found that it was really difficult to refute, "Then what do you think?"
"It doesn't matter what I think."
Xu Shi smiled, "If my mother is not my mother, then everyone will be happy. He Yuxia just said a few words at the end of the day. What effect can it have?"
"What if she is real?"
"If she is really...have you ever considered this?"
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "He Yuxia took over my mother's position more than ten years after her. This shows that the duties of the "supervisor" were not important during that time. They were still preparing for Shenhe... In this case, she Why did he die suddenly and inexplicably? "
He hadn't delved into this very deeply before, but based on the premise that "my mother is the "supervisor" of the previous generation", he actually couldn't accept the statement that "after giving birth to myself, my health was worrying and I died suddenly." .
The greater possibility is that there is a disagreement between Wen Rujin and "Tianli", and the cause of this disagreement... is most likely himself.
Because if the original script was followed, he would be a trash villain who was stepped on and slapped in the face by Shen He. As a "supervisor", Wen Rujin's next task is to guide herself to grow into what she expected step by step. .
So, as her biological mother, will she accept such an arrangement? Raise your own flesh and blood to waste and then give them to the protagonist as an experience pack?
Most likely she couldn't accept it, so she rebelled against "the law of heaven", and then...for the "supervisor" who was out of control, "the law of heaven" would naturally not leave her alone.
"...It shouldn't be like this, right?"
Xia Keyan pursed her lips. It was really too disturbing. She felt it was too much.
"This is just a guess."
Xu Shi smiled, "If that's the case, I suddenly felt quite touched... You know, I haven't experienced any maternal love. If my mother is really because of me... then I owe her a debt. .”
"You said it doesn't matter what you think."
The old aunt curled her lips. She had never seen the little boy show such an expression.
"It doesn't matter, because neither situation will affect my decision."
"What decision?"
"Find out the "natural principles", then chop them, cut them open, and chop them into pieces. "
