Chapter 152: Zhengtai Raiders is over!
Shu Si has never been so angry as now.
As a knight-errant in the market, he was actually used to being deceived and used by others. How could a person wander in the world without getting stabbed? It was not that Shu Si could not afford to lose. In fact, he had long been numb to the point of losing.
He was a gangster in the market. He was a young man with no backstage background, nor much talent or luck. Most of the time, he took advantage of small things and suffered big losses. Sometimes he was robbed by strong gangsters, and some
Sometimes he was exploited by some profiteers, but Shu Si could always make himself smile.
Because if there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. Shu Si will not expect too much and will always be content. No matter he is betrayed or deceived by anyone, his heart will not be hurt.
However, at this moment, Shu Si felt heartbroken.
"Dead Face, did you do all this on purpose?"
Before waking up this time, Shu Si didn't have time to think too much. At that time, he only knew that Dead Face might be plotted by Luo Xiao, and he wholeheartedly wanted to help him get out of trouble. But after experiencing another deep sleep, he suddenly felt that his mind was much lighter.
, many issues are connected together.
For example, when you force yourself to seek cooperation with Luo Xiao, are you deliberately letting him die? For example, how many secrets are hidden in the Jade Bone Skill? Or now, he can speak directly in his mind, is he also included in the calculation?
Shu Si already had an answer to this in his mind, but he still had to hear the other person's own confirmation before he could truly believe it.
At this moment, he couldn't tell how he was feeling. Shu Si even thought, what would happen if Dead Face said everything was just a coincidence? Would he feel relieved? Would he accept everything seriously and gain peace of mind?
Unfortunately, Dead Face didn't give him any room to continue to struggle.
"Yes, I planned all of this from the beginning."
"Including...letting me die?"
"Of course I have considered the possibility of your death, but according to calculations, you will not really die."
"But I have become like this, a person worse off than dead." Shu Si roared in his heart, "Dead face, why?"
"Because it's more advantageous." Dead Man's Face explained calmly, "Now you have gained Luo Xiao's initial trust, and I have been able to hide my existence completely. In my expectation, this is the most advantageous situation.
."
"The most advantageous? Which one is the most advantageous? What do you think I am?"
Dead Face was silent for a while and said, "I thought you could understand all this."
"The opponent is a fallen immortal, and it is not easy to win this situation. You are now a nail planted beside Luo Xiao. If you turn it over at the critical moment, you can make the opponent's head and blood bleed. And if the same thing is done head-on,
If you fight hard, I’m afraid you may not be able to do it even if you pay a hundred times the price.”
Shu Si shook his head, but the sadness in his heart deepened. He actually didn't fully understand the layout of the dead man's face, but he didn't have to think so clearly.
Now, he fell into Luo Xiao's hands but did not die. He has indeed become a nail hidden next to him. And to bury a nail next to the fallen immortal, one can imagine the price.
"So, from the very beginning... you regarded me as a pawn?"
Dead Face said calmly: "Yes, from the beginning, you have been the most useful chess piece in my hand."
"..." Shu Si's heart was ashen, and after a moment sourness surged, and he couldn't even say a word.
But the dead face was a little strange: "You feel wronged? Strange, why do you feel wronged?"
Shu Si felt that it was extremely ridiculous. You have caused me to be like this, why don't you allow me to feel aggrieved?
"Before you met me, you were just a precarious ordinary person in the market. It was I who brought you into the world of cultivating immortals. It was I who taught you how to develop Qingfeng Trading Company. It was I who elevated you from a penniless pawn to someone important.
A business tycoon, what qualifications do you have to feel aggrieved?"
"Or do you think that dying young is too much of a loss for you? It is true that you have not lived in Qunxian City for a long time, and you have only been a business tycoon for a few months, but in this short period of time, you have already experienced
Ordinary people have been reincarnated ten times and have no way of understanding it.
You have experienced a luxurious life, and your daily expenses are enough to support the wanderers in the market for a hundred years. The woman you slept with a few days ago is a fairy that mortals cannot look up to. Such a life, for you, you should die without regrets.
That’s right, what’s more, you’re not dead.”
After hearing these words, Shu Si felt even colder.
Of course he knew how good Dead Face was to him, so he once swore in his heart that he would repay his kindness even if he worked as a cow or a horse in the future... Even when he was excited, he even thought about repaying his kindness even if he was shattered to pieces.
That's right, a young man with a naughty temperament who came from a busy life actually had the idea of dying for his confidant because of Dead Man's Face. Shu Si had already given his life to Dead Man's Face. But at this moment, he felt cold.
Deep to the bone, my heart aches.
After a long time, he asked: "Dead Face, to you, am I just a chess piece? From the beginning to the end, you are just using me, don't you have any other... thoughts?"
Dead Face said calmly: "What do you want me to think?"
"I" Shu Si wanted to say something, but felt his chest was tight and couldn't say anything.
He originally thought that Dead Face would say no bluntly, so that he could let go of his last bit of luck, but... that rhetorical question, which was more hurtful than the blunt refusal, brought him to the edge of collapse.
"Yes, you are right to ask. What should I hope you think? I am just a wanderer in the market. I will probably not live to be twenty years old. What can I hope that the famous Xuan Yinzi thinks of me? To me
In other words, the fate of a chess piece is already pretty good.
..." Shu Si's voice became more and more trembling, "Dead face, don't you have any human feelings? You and I have been together in the Immortal City for so long, even a cat or a dog should have some feelings, right? I, I
I have always regarded you as mine...how could you..."
However, just when Shu Si's relationship was on the verge of collapse, Dead Face suddenly said: "Cats and dogs are not qualified to be my chess pieces. This move is the most important part of my whole plan. If it weren't for you and me, we would get along day and night."
In the past year, I have never trusted you."
Shu Si was a little amused when he heard this, but what was more, he felt a strange warmth suddenly surged in his heart. He laughed and said, "According to what you say, being able to become a chess piece is still something to be proud of?"
"I'm not good at chess. I only play one game of chess in my life and only hold one piece."
"So, I should feel lucky to be the only chess piece in your hand?"
"You should really feel lucky. I will do my best for the only chess piece."
Dead Face's voice was still so calm, but the resentment in Shu Si's heart almost disappeared.
Yes, Dead Face has always been like this, cold and indifferent. I expect him to express his emotions like a normal person. Isn't that forcing others to do something difficult? And, although Dead Face doesn't say it, in fact... I am indeed regarded as his successor.
The same training. Moreover, as a chess piece, being used by him would be worse than death, but Dead Face himself is not much better. In this chess game, he himself is actually a chess piece.
After thinking about this, Shu Si only had a knot in his heart.
"You tell me these things in advance..."
"If I tell you in advance, your performance will not be natural. After all, you have only been a chess piece for less than a year. I can't believe it."
Although what Dead Man Face said was unbelievable, Shu Si felt even more at ease after hearing it.
It's not because he doesn't value himself, on the contrary, because he values himself too much, that's why he can't believe it... And this feeling is not bad.
"So... Dead Face, what's going on now? Are you really dead or fake? What do you want me to do by placing me next to Luo Xiao?"
After regaining his mood, Shu Si suddenly had more questions. But before Dead Face could answer, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Shu Si immediately calmed down and did not dare to talk to the voice in his head. Now that he had regained his intelligence, he naturally thought of an existence that could not reveal the dead face.
After a while, the door opened, and as expected, it was Luo Xiao.
"It seems that you are getting along well with this puppet body." Luo Xiao showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, "You just woke up and you know how to cry."
Shu Si's heart trembled, and he guessed that when he was emotionally excited just now, he probably didn't control his physical body well... But it's not a big deal.
It is human nature to cry twice when you are close to death, especially when you find that although you are not dead, you are worse off than dead. If Shu Si had not been in a hurry to confront the dead man, he would have had to cry first before he had time to think about other things.
something.
So he took his time and faced Luo Xiao with just the right attitude: "What are you thinking about?"
Luo Xiao smiled: "What do I want to do? There are too many people in Immortal City now who want to know what I am doing. I am afraid that half of the elders of Tongtian Holy Church alone are going crazy thinking about this question. Why should I do this?
Tell you?"
But after a while, Luo Xiao smiled again and said: "However, I am bored, so I can have a few words with you. For example, do you want to know who is instigating all this behind my back?"
Shu Si was greatly shocked, and he did not deliberately conceal this shock.
"Isn't there a fallen immortal behind you?"
"Fallen Immortal?" Luo Xiao smiled disapprovingly, "If there were genuine Fallen Immortals, it would be my turn to be a dog for others. Any fallen Immortal who has fully arrived can sweep through today's Immortal City... Don't worry,
It’s still very early for the real fallen immortal to arrive.”
"Mumble."
Shu Si was frightened when he heard this, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"However, it is not that easy for the fallen immortals to come to Kyushu completely. Now they can only extend a hand. That's why they need helpers...or loyal dogs." Luo Xiao pointed at himself with a smile, and then
Pointing at Shu Si.
