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

Chapter 104 I will torture her severely if you die
The topic was changed quietly by Xia Ke'an.

Or in other words, this is what she wanted to talk to Xu Shi alone.

"...you secretly supported the "Long Knife Party", supported their excess weapons and equipment, and took advantage of the chaos to wipe out "Disg" and annexed the sixth district... This can be regarded as breaking the city of night crime, or Talk about the balance between the six major consortiums. "

The white-haired Lolita cleared her throat, and said seriously, "Dragon City won't let it go... Don't tell me that you haven't considered this issue at all. "

Xu Shi didn't answer, just quietly listening to her continue.

The truth is that of course he was wary of this, and he had already considered this situation from the moment he approached Ding Jun.

He still has some understanding of the so-called balance between consortiums - he heard from his father a long time ago that after the destruction of the two super-complexes "Tianhe" and "Refraction", there was a period of time in the City of Night Sins. It is in a state of top chaos.

Not to mention that the second-tier enterprises below were beaten to death, and the ordinary residents suffered even more. It was like purgatory on earth... In the end, everyone found that no one could dominate the whole family, so they gave up and gradually divided the territory. .

At least for now, each consortium has its own system, which is divided into courts like a secular practice, and there is a city hall in the middle as a lubricant. The situation is gradually stabilizing, and they will not be more reluctant to have any major friction with each other.

But his own behavior has actually broken this balance, at least hurting the interests of "Dragon City".

As one of the top forces in the City of Night Sins, "Dragon City" is actually the most special one among the six consortiums.

On the one hand, "Dragon City" is based in Sin City rather than Night City, which is more like a big gang in a sense.

At the same time, they are also the only consortium that did not say that they were promoted to the first-class consortium because of the downfall of "Tianhe" and "Refraction". They have always existed, and they can be regarded as the uncrowned kings of Sin City.

This has also established their model - controlling gangs, operating side businesses, seven of the eleven districts of Sin City are directly under their jurisdiction, and the rest are regional-level organizations such as the "Long Knife Party" and "Disg". The gangs are also supported by "Dragon City", and he is the only one who follows the lead.

This is a bit like the feeling of a mercenary leader. If the Night City Consortium wants to do some shady things, they will often entrust gangs to take action, and the rewards are credits and various weapons.

And for these rewards, "Dragon City" will take part of it, and while making profits, it will also expand its strength in a disguised form.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for me to subsidize the advanced weapons of the "Long Saber Party" to attack "Disger", but I must first pass through "Dragon City". Omitting this step seems harmless, but the consequences are still It's serious.

First of all, this is equivalent to bypassing the middleman, and this will inevitably arouse the vigilance of "Dragon City" - what is the intention of "Snake Ring" to dig into the wall like this, and even help one to destroy the other?Bury a nail first and replace me later?
This is a clear sign. If you think about it in another way, you can't bear this kind of behavior for a while, so don't expect others to swallow it.

There has been no movement until now, and I think it's just being held back by the value of "twin life", and I'm hesitant.

"...Ha, anyway, as long as you are prepared."

Seeing him so calm, Xia Ke'an immediately understood, obviously he knew it, and he might have thought more about it than himself.

This made her feel relieved, the little boy really doesn't have to worry about it... But the white-haired Lolita couldn't help but feel a little bit like complaining, since she knows you nod anyway, it's very tiring to talk so much...

She didn't even notice that she took the initiative to worry about him.

So she started to think about the school again, and tentatively asked, "Besides that, has Director Xu thought about the later things, such as..."

"Like ten years ago?"

Xu Shi spoke leisurely, as if he had already expected what she was going to say.

"...Why did you even think of this?"

The white-haired loli paused for a moment, then mumbled weakly, "Dong Xu really has the ability to read minds, right?"

"It's surprising that you can't think of it, okay?"

Looking at Xia Ke'an, who looked like a little adult, with a frustrated face, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh.

What was it ten years ago?Naturally, it was the tragedy of "Refraction" and "Tianhe" being destroyed overnight.

In the original book, this is an inescapable plot line. According to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Xia Ke'an tells himself this.

Moreover, even without her factor, this is something he has to consider.

In other words, this is something that every top consortium is afraid of, because it is indeed too weird.

A mysterious power hiding in the dark, but it has the power to overturn the entire night crime city. Ten years later, it is still an unsolved case. If one comes out, can everyone add up to this level?I'm afraid not necessarily.

And this is like the sword of Damocles, you don't know when and under what circumstances he will come again—maybe when giants like "Refraction" and "Tianhe" appear again?Then shouldn't we be more stable and stop thinking about being the first bird again?
Thinking about it this way, the delicate balance among consortiums may also have this factor.

"Too."

Xia Ke'an felt relieved after thinking about it, and simply continued on the topic, "Then I'll cut to the chase, how much do you know about these?"

"Just pretend I don't know anything."

Xu Shi shook his head, this is not a lie.

In fact, after awakening the memory of his previous life, he realized the seriousness of this matter—in terms of influence and dominance, the "Refraction" and "Tianhe" back then were better than other financial groups now, and they couldn't resist Things, then you must plan ahead.

To rectify the group, to subdue capable subordinates, to carry out the "over-limit plan"... There is one thing to say, and it is not entirely for dealing with Shen He that he does these things.

But only in this matter itself, he has not gained much.

Dude went offline too early in the original book, so I couldn't see the later version...

So if he really wanted to talk, he still wanted to use Xia Ke'an to learn about this information. She was one of the parties involved.

"Looks like we're about the same?"

Hearing what he said, the white-haired Loli couldn't help teasing, "I was in a coma the night of the incident, and I didn't know anything about the whole story... The same goes for Wuyou, but we were the only ones who survived."

However, although it seemed, the sadness and frustration in her eyes had grown heavier since the topic began.

For Xia Ke'an, this is her nightmare obstacle-everything she cherishes is instantly wiped out, but she can't do anything about it.

What can a helpless cripple do?It looks like sitting on the hospital bed and pointing out Jiangshan is very powerful, but in fact it is very difficult to live without someone to take care of her... It can be seen that the sense of powerlessness that has been haunting her heart for ten years is definitely not a light torture for her.

Seeing this, Xu Shi didn't say anything, but just handed her a glass of water.

"...In that case, shall we...cooperate?"

Xia Ke'an took it but didn't drink it, she just lowered her eyes and stared at her small reflection in the cup, "This is our common goal... I know you are very ambitious, let alone "Snake Ring" Or "Dragon City", maybe the entire Night Sin City is your target. "

"If that's the case, then you'll have to face all of this sooner or later... right?"

She suppressed her unconsciously trembling voice, and babbled about her pros and cons, as if she wanted to persuade Xu Shi as much as possible.

"How does Miss Ke'an want to cooperate?"

Xu Shi asked calmly.

"How else can we cooperate?"

Xia Ke'an laughed at herself, "Don't you want my ability...Then I'm recovering well now, can I help you with this?"

"Oh?"

Does she mean that she can activate her ability?Hearing what she said, Xu Shi couldn't help asking, "Then how many times can you use your ability?"

"According to the current situation... once?"

The white-haired Lolita thought for a while and said, "Don't think that one time is too small. It is definitely enough to spy on who the opponent is, but I can't help you with the rest."

"how about you?"

Xu Shi paused, "Don't tell me you will die when you run out."

"Anyway, you will take care of me worry-free."

Xia Ke'an smiled, "I've dragged her down for so many years, it's okay to let her live a little easier in the future...I'm quite relieved to hand her over to you, will you treat her well?"

She didn't answer Xu Shi's question directly, but she actually acquiesced.

Only then did it dawn on Xu Shi, no wonder the old aunt had to avoid Xia Wuyou and talk to herself alone.

If it's those things before, then Xia Wuyou just listened to it, what's the relationship... Is it in consideration of the possibility of talking about this topic?It was obvious that she didn't want her niece to know that she had such thoughts.

But her current mood is indeed quite different from usual—self-abandonment, self-blame and guilt, and the stubbornness of desperately trying to find the truth... To be honest, the white-haired Lolita hides well enough, even if she has the ability to assist her , I couldn't see all of these before Xu Shi.

This appearance is distressing, and Xu Shi's eyes are quite moved.

So, after much thought.

He shook his head seriously.

"No. If you die, I will torture her hard every day."

"……Hey?"

Xia Ke'an was stunned.

"Xu, Mr. Xu is joking with me, right?"

She didn't expect this answer, and after a while, she stammered, "You, you won't really do this... right?"

"Yes, because I'm not a loser."

Xu Shi's tone became cold, "So my suggestion is, don't take chances."

"Miss Ke'an should know that you are also one of the 'values' that Team Leader Xia and I traded."

"My investment in you is not too small. If I can't get the expected return, then I can only ask Team Leader Xia to be accountable and get more from her."

Are you kidding me, buddy paid such a big price, a small [-] treatment fee per day was handed over to that bitch Xie Qingyan, and in the end they only got a one-time experience card for an SS level ability?

This is no longer a loss, it is enough to turn him into a weeping cat and Maotou, and be nailed to the pillar of shame.

"Well……"

Xia Ke'an was speechless for a while, and lowered his head to listen to him continue.

"And you also said that we have a common goal."

Xu Shi said with a straight face, "Since that's the case, why are you moving yourself there? You don't really think such behavior is cool, do you?"

"Why did you teach me a lesson..."

The white-haired loli flattened her mouth, a little unconvinced, and said with a heavy ballistic, "I'm better than your mother..."

"It's almost done. Saying this makes you look like an idiot."

Xu Shi poked her on the forehead twice angrily, "In my opinion, it is the most stupid behavior to punish yourself for other people's mistakes by exchanging your life with the enemy."

"Not to mention that you are not fully sure, what would you do if you don't succeed?"

It is a fallacy that although the body is getting smaller, the mind is still flexible. Anyway, he thinks the gadget in front of him is a good counterexample.

"Don't poke, it hurts..."

Xia Ke'an covered his forehead and said weakly, "Then, what do you think should be done..."

"I'm in a hurry, believe it or not, I'll take it down and poke it?"

Xu Shi didn't give her a good face, "Anyway, don't worry, I really want to use your bad ability so much, there will be opportunities in the future for me to squeeze you well."

"..."

After being reprimanded by him, Xia Ke'an raised the corners of his drooping mouth when he came back to his senses, "Isn't it good to use the word 'squeeze' for a weak little girl like me?"

"Will this know that she is a weak little girl?"

Xu Shi didn't like her.

"It's worse than you."

The white-haired loli felt aggrieved, but the smile on her face grew stronger, "I know I was wrong, Mr. Xu, please forgive me?"

"...You just take good care of your illness and don't be stupid again."

The atmosphere in the ward eased up a lot, and seeing her like this made me want to laugh a little, so I didn't say anything, got up and walked outside.

"But the words that squeezed you... I won't take it back."

Slightly slightly.

Xia Ke'an made a face at his back, wouldn't he say something nice?

But while complaining, she blushed a little uncontrollably.

Because it doesn't matter if you talk nonsense or scold yourself with a straight face, in the end Xu Shi is caring about her, and seeing her give up on herself makes her angry.

So, he is true to himself...

The fact is that the white-haired loli was also a little confused about this before, and she didn't make it clear when she came back... Do you just want ability or be together?In fact, what he said just now has elements of temptation in it.

Well now, she can fully confirm that this is a greedy guy.

Then, what about her to Xu Shi?
There is one thing to say, Xia Ke'an is not some young and ignorant little girl, based on her previous status, are there still few people who pursue her?

It's just that those people were either mediocre, or their starting point was too impure, flattery and flattery were concealed, and none of them caught her eyes.

But Xu Shi was different. After thinking about it, this guy has been playing straight balls all the time, and he is very domineering. Take the poke?How do you poke...

But he is just like this, he is bold but thoughtful, and he is decisive in doing things, even a little cruel... It's not that this is a bad thing, on the contrary, for Xia Ke'an, who used to be the daughter of a consortium, it is a good thing Bonus points, indecisive people die fast.

It's no wonder that the niece fell for her. Thinking about the change that Xia Wuyou complained about Xu Shi at the beginning, but now she stops her from complaining, Xia Ke'an inexplicably finds it funny.

Pretty charming, boy.

The white-haired loli pursed her lips, saying that she was not moved would be a lie.

It's just... Does this mean grabbing a man with your niece?

And also...

"How can someone really like small ones..."

Xia Ke'an looked at herself in the mirror, blushing and muttering, her heart was in a mess.

While thinking, Xia Wuyou opened the door and walked in, "Auntie."

"what……"

Xia Ke'an patted his cheek lightly to calm down, "When did he leave?"

"Ang, he said he has something to do."

Xia Wuyou didn't know what they were talking about, but she just nodded when she heard the words, with a hint of reluctance in her tone.

I haven't hugged enough yet...

But she was also a little curious about the private conversation between the two, "Speaking of which, aunt, what did you say to Xu Shi? You kept me secretive."

"us……"

The white-haired loli blinked, and briefly shortened what happened just now into one sentence.

"Xu Shi said that he will torture you severely."

Xia Wuyou: "?"
