The corners of Shu Yun's mouth raised slightly, and she walked happily towards the end of the corridor with a proud look.
This is the job she enjoys most.
"Under inspection, please be careful when communicating with the subject." A cold mechanical voice came from directly above the corridor, warning everyone who entered what kind of monster they were about to see.
But Shu Yun felt that fearing the monster in the cage was stupid and cowardly. If the monster still had to be wary of it after being reduced to this situation, then she should not have been caught in the cage in the first place.
Now that the monster's neck has been shackled, the horrific deeds of the past will only be distant legends. She has been reduced from a terrifying and dangerous monster to a plaything for the upper class to watch, just like the fire dragon that the Rama Empire once enslaved. Same.
Looking at this once terrifying creature at close range gave Shu Yun the pleasure of defeating her.
Shu Yun pushed open the last door.
Qin Luan was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
She was looking at the chessboard in front of her with concentration. It seemed that because she was completely immersed in the chess game in front of her, she didn't even realize that Shu Yun had appeared at the door. It wasn't until she walked to the table that Shenxiao slowly raised her head. .
Shen Xiao looked at Shu Yun calmly and said:
"You're here, sit down."
Shu Yun was a little surprised by Shen Xiao's attitude. Before her head could react, her body naturally sat on the sofa opposite her, and then she suddenly realized what was going on.
She wanted to plead with herself.
This made Shu Yun look proud:
"Have you ever imagined that today would happen?"
Shen Xiao looked at her with a smile, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her body and see directly into her soul:
"No, I actually had some misunderstandings about you when I first met you. In fact, I only realized this after I came here. It's like I didn't learn to play chess until I came here. How do you understand this? Do you know anything about sports?”
Shu Yun said proudly:
"It's too late to reminisce. You should have come to me with such humility a few years ago."
Shen Xiao shrugged, then looked at the chessboard on the table:
"Actually, there are some similarities between playing chess and prediction. The main difference lies in your decision to look at things. There are not so many uncertainties in the macro world, which cannot be ignored when predicting.
"But it seems you're not very interested in this."
Shu Yun suddenly became alert:
"What's the meaning."
Shenxiao said:
“Some ancient people like to use playing chess as a metaphor for speculation about the future.
"In fact, we can indeed 'predict' the future based on experience and judgment alone. As long as you know what information is important and what information is completely useless, this is also a way of predicting."
Shu Yun glanced at her twice, then sneered:
"When you were little, you liked to talk like this, pretending how unique you were.
"But in fact, you are just an ordinary person like us. Without that power, you are nothing at all. I really hope there is some way to deprive you of your power, so that I can see you fall to the mortal world. .
"That way you won't continue to act pretentious."
How wonderful it would be if this power were in her body.
Shen Xiao smiled gently:
"Unfortunately, only people with good nature can control this power. As far as I know, it is almost impossible for you to find qualified candidates in the Federation."
Shu Yun curled her lips:
"You are so self-righteous that it is impossible to defeat the prophet without her knowledge, right?"
What she hates the most is Shen Xiao's arrogance in his bones, and no one else can detect this condescending attitude. In their eyes, Shen Xiao can even be said to be humble and gentle, but Shu Yun can feel it.
That is arrogant moderation.
It's just that she couldn't say anything about this in the past, because Shenxiao at that time did match her arrogance, but now Shenxiao still maintains this condescending vision, and this makes Shu Yun hate her even more.
Shen Xiao said calmly:
"I know why you came here, but you just want to seek my answer, but you can put away your comfortable thoughts. No matter how good your current situation seems, it is still shaky.
“You have to fight for what you want, and I guarantee you, it’s a difficult process.
"It's also the only road in front of you."
Shu Yun looked at her coldly:
"You underestimate me a little bit.
"They put me in charge of this matter not because of my father, nor because of my relatively high status now. The federation comprehensively evaluated the proposal I gave them, and the reason they finally agreed was that they believed in me.
"They believe that I know you well enough and that you are a man of some integrity."
Shen Xiao smiled peacefully:
"But I'm not a fool. I don't think it's wise for you to do this. This is angering your enemies. I can see what you are about to do from your point of view, and in my opinion... …
"Your enemy is the pinnacle of Level V abnormal entities. She is still shackled even now, but if you ignore the fatal danger contained in it, you are seeking your own death.
"Whenever you look at what she's done, you realize she always wins."
Shu Yun laughed happily:
"Are you starting to improve on your previous results?"
"You're right, but I know exactly why you said that, because you wanted me to give up the idea of dealing with you further, and this proves that I should do it. It's so funny, I don't know if you noticed.
"Now you actually no longer want to win, you just want to lose decently.
"Why, where did your arrogance go?"
Shen Xiao looked at her and said:
"You have to do it because you won't.
"It's not just you, many people will die. Being able to trap the most dangerous abnormal entity is indeed a great achievement that I admire greatly, but they have not really solved the most fundamental problem, and the flaws left behind will eventually It resulted in a global disaster.
"The world is going to change."
Shu Yun smiled confidently:
"Yes, that's why they also support me. You will retaliate against us. Unless we put smart handcuffs on you, we will definitely kill those of us who led the plan after you leave here.
"Even if this possibility is not that obvious, even if some people in the Federation regard this as an acceptable price, and your revenge will definitely have a limit, no matter how low the probability of death is, they still Can't accept it happening.
"And obviously, this plan is destined to involve several big shots. After all, only they can approve our proposal, and these big shots who are involved will not want to see you have the opportunity to do anything to them in the next few decades. level of revenge.
"This is the beauty of the Federation. It is a sophisticated machine. No part can operate alone. They will always interact with other parts, eventually leading to a result that may not be in the best interest.
"This is why I can continue to restrict you. Human beings with a desire to survive cannot choose the best decision. The final result is that the situation has reached the ending that makes me happiest. You will become our slave."
Shu Yun looked down at Shen Xiao slightly, looking at these words with arrogant eyes.
Although the last sentence was a bit exaggerated, Shu Yun still said it because it made her feel extremely happy, and even gave her the illusion that she had conquered Shenxiao.
Shenxiao sighed:
"My relationship with you is really unique. It seems that I have an intractable hatred with you, but we are much closer than usual. How we ended up like this will never be answered."
Shu Yun sneered contemptuously:
"Yes, you can predict the future, but why didn't you try to make me like you when you were in front of me? You looked at me as if you had completely seen through me. Why do you think it is?"
She answered by herself without waiting for Shen Xiao to speak:
"Because you don't care at all, you don't take me seriously at all.
"Why, didn't you predict at that time that I would stand in front of you now and be able to control your future destiny?
"To be honest, you should have killed me, but you didn't.
"So I win."
Shu Yun's body was constantly leaning forward as she spoke, looking at Shen Xiao as if her old enemy had finally fallen into a trap. After so many years, she finally realized her wish and was able to have the upper hand on Shen Xiao during the conversation. .
Even mortals can outwit hypocritical demigods.
Shen Xiao raised his head and looked at the ceiling:
"If it hadn't been for isolating us in advance, the situation would have been much worse."
Shu Yun looked at Shen Xiao with cold eyes and raised her tone:
"But it's here. You're in the prison we built. There's no what if. We brought you here. I put the shackles on you. You didn't fall in by walking on your own.
"But I can also understand that you would say that. After all, for you, there is only 'if'."
Shu Yun looked at her sympathetically, as if forgiving Shen Xiao's threat.
Shen Xiao looked sideways at the wall and said:
"I'm curious what you can do, that's still a question for me."
Shu Yun suddenly smiled extremely happily:
"You finally asked this. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Then she turned to the wall and waved.
Two screens slowly emerged. The scenes on them seemed to be captured by surveillance equipment. They were two prisoners sitting in restraint chairs. It could be seen on the same screen that there was a man and a woman among them, and they were both young.
The male prisoner looked to be in his twenties, with a childlike look on his face that had not faded.
But now he has no expression on his face, and can't reveal any emotion. He is just holding the armrest tightly with both hands, as if he is waiting for something to arrive in a state of calm and tension.
If the female prisoner puts aside her restraints and the scene, she looks like a white-collar worker who has just come into contact with the job. However, it is obvious that what she does is completely inconsistent with her appearance, and this has brought her to her current situation.
But at this moment, her face was full of determination, and even a bit proud.
Shu Yun looked at the two screens with a smile on her face and said to Shen Xiao in high spirits:
"There are currently a total of twenty-nine level IV ability users among the known remaining rebels in the entire federation. They have not attempted to carry out such dangerous activities with even lower-level ability users. These twenty-nine ability users are all fighting against The Federation in their area retaliated.
“There was no sense of revenge, and they did it just because of the specific circumstances of their stupidity against you.
"During this process, we captured two members of the Salvation Alliance, and a more dangerous ability user was forcibly killed by us on the spot. By the way, let me tell you, they also caused considerable losses to the Federation. There are also some politicians who are giving us trouble for this.
"And we finally made them realize that it was worth it. They would bring us enough benefits. Although the remaining rebels are large in number, they are distributed all over the world. Among them, only the Northern Federation is more difficult to deal with. , others can be found in a short time.”
Shen Xiao said:
"I don't think so.
"I feel like they're going to eventually find each other and end up being a threat to you."
Shu Yun showed a funny expression and looked at Shen Xiao as if she were looking at a fool:
"If it weren't for your existence, they would be just ordinary abnormal criminals to us. We would eventually kill these idiots who dare to resist the will of the Federation easily, and their deaths would not cause any waves.
“But you can change that, look at them.
"They are all young people who should have a good life, that is, only young people would do such stupid things. They have not yet figured out the facts. If they have a chance to live in the future, they will definitely realize that this is not the best for them. Decide.
“They do this out of passion and trust in you, but what do they get in return?
"Did you know that these two young people are both only children, and their parents are still waiting..."
Shen Xiao suddenly interrupted her:
"Okay, that's it."
Shu Yun looked at her in surprise.
Shenxiao said:
"Pard and Ranxia."
"This is their name. Their parents miss their children very much. I have advised children like them several times to temporarily put aside their work and go back to accompany their parents, but they always say that there is still time in the future, and they also say that they What I am doing is also for my family.
"They feel that they still have opportunities and time. They feel that they have responsibilities on their shoulders. They have a bright future. I did not refuse their persistence because I have seen it before."
"And you ruined it all."
Shu Yun continued:
“No, you ruined them.
"You can refuse the safety rope plan at the cost of their lives, and after that other good people will continue to show up where they are sitting now and continue to die because of your stubbornness.
"I know where your bottom line is, it's better to surrender as soon as possible."
Shen Xiao looked directly at the screen and said:
"The reason why they choose to continue fighting is not to make me give in. If I put the choice in their hands now, they will choose to die on their own. Of course, this is not a natural choice, and they do not want to die.
“But they don’t want me to compromise, and they have already answered my questions with actions.
“No, I won’t let them down.
"We're all ready."
Shen Xiao turned his face sideways
Shu Yun waved her hand somewhat boredly.
Two corpses appeared on the screen.
"You will compromise." Shu Yun said, "I understand you."
Shen Xiao looked at her again, with a strange expression that made Shu Yun a little scared:
“No, I’ll do what they want me to do.
"I will avenge them."
