Chapter 744: Zhengtai Strategy Complete!
Shu Si had never been so angry as he was now.
As a market ranger, he has long been accustomed to being deceived and used. People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be stabbed, Shu Si is not unable to lose, in fact, he has long lost to numbness.
In the market, he is a young man with no background background, and he doesn't have much talent and luck to speak of, most of the time he takes advantage of a small advantage, and then suffers some big losses. Sometimes he was robbed by powerful gangsters, and sometimes he was exploited by some profiteers, but Shu Si always made himself smile.
Because where there is no hope, there will be no disappointment. Shu Si will not expect too much, he will be content and happy, no matter how betrayed or deceived by anyone, he will not hurt his heart.
However, at this moment, Shu Si was in pain.
"Dead face, did you do this qiΔ on purpose?"
Before waking up this time, Shu Si didn't have time to think too much, at that time he only knew that the dead face might be calculated by Luo Xiao, and he was bent on helping him get out of trouble. But after another deep sleep, he suddenly felt much lighter, and many questions were strung together.
For example, forcing himself to seek cooperation with Luo Xiao was not deliberately sent to death? For example, how many secrets are hidden in the Jade Bone Gong? For example, now, he can speak directly in his head, is it also in the calculation?
In Shu Si's heart, he already had an answer to this, but he still had to listen to the other party's personal confirmation before he could truly believe it.
At this moment, I can't tell what the mood is. Shu Si even wondered what would happen if the dead face said that it was just a coincidence? Do you feel relieved? Will you take a qiΔ seriously and change your peace of mind?
It's a pity that the dead man's face didn't give him room to continue struggling.
"Yes, I calculated this qiΔ from the beginning."
"Including...... Let me die? β
"Of course I considered the possibility of your death, but according to the calculations, you will not really die."
"But I've become what life is worse than death!" Shu Si roared angrily in his heart, "Dead face, why!?" β
"Because it's more beneficial." The dead face explained lightly, "Now that you have gained Luo Xiao's initial trust, and I have been able to hide my existence intact. In my vision, this is the most favorable situation. β
"The most advantageous? Which one is the most advantageous?! What do you think of me!? β
The dead face was silent for a moment and said, "I thought you could understand this qiΔ. β
ββ¦β¦β
"The opponent is a fallen immortal, and it is not easy to win this situation. You are now a nail planted by Luo Xiao's side, and if you flip it at a critical moment, you can make your opponent's head bleed. And if the same thing is fought head-on, I am afraid that it may not be possible to pay a hundred times the price. β
Shu Si shook his head, but the sorrow in his heart was even deeper. He hadn't really figured out the layout of the dead man's face, but he didn't have to.
Now, he fell into the hands of Luo Xiao but did not die, and he has indeed become a nail hidden by the other party's side. And to bury nails around fallen immortals, the cost can be imagined.
"So, from the beginning...... You're going to treat me like a pawn? β
The dead face said calmly: "That's right, from the beginning, you are the best chess piece in my hand." β
"......" Shu Si's heart was like ashes, and after a while, he was sour and sour, and he couldn't even say half a sentence.
The dead man's face was a little strange: "You feel wronged? Strange, why do you feel wronged? β
Shu Si only felt ridiculous, you hurt me like this, don't you allow me to feel wronged?
"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 to develop and grow Qingfeng Commercial Bank, and it was I who promoted you from an unknown pawn to a pivotal business giant, you ...... What qualifications do you have? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Or do you think dying young is too much of a loss for you? It is true that you have not lived in the Immortal City for a long time, and you have only been a business giant for a few months, but in this short time, you have already experienced the luxurious life that ordinary people cannot experience even if they are reincarnated ten times, and your daily consumption is enough for the market rangers to squander for a hundred years. The woman you slept with a few days ago is a fairy that mortals can't look up to. In such a life, it is right for you to die without regrets, not to mention that you are not dead. β
Shu Si heard these words, but he felt even colder.
Of course, he knew how good the dead face was to him, so he once swore in his heart that he would repay his kindness even if he was a cow and a horse in the future...... Even when I was excited, I thought about repaying the favor.
That's right, a young man with a slippery temperament and born in the market actually moved the idea of dying for the face of a dead man as a confidant. Shu Si had already given his life to the dead face. But at this moment, he felt that the ice was piercing to his bones, and his heart was heartbroken.
After a long time, he asked, "Dead face, am I just a pawn to you?" All the while, you're just using me, nothing else...... Ideas? β
The dead man said lightly, "What do you want me to think?" β
"I ......" Shu Si wanted to say something, but he felt tightness in his chest and couldn't say anything.
He had thought that the dead face would say no so that he could let go of the last bit of luck, but ...... The rhetorical question, which was more hurtful than a blunt rejection, brought him to the brink of collapse.
"That's right, that's right, what should I want you to think? I'm just a market ranger, most of the prodigal who won't live to be twenty years old, what can I hope the famous Xuanyin Zi thinks of me? For me, the fate of a chess piece is already very good......" Shu Si's voice trembled more and more, "Dead face, don't you have any human feelings?!" You and I have been together for so long in Immortal City, even if it's a cat or a dog, we should have some feelings, right? I, I've always treated you as my ...... How can you ......"
However, just when Shu Si's relationship was on the verge of collapse, the dead face suddenly said: "Cats and dogs are not qualified to be my pawns." This move is the most important part of my whole plan, and if it weren't for you and I getting along for nearly a year, I would never have believed you. β
Shu Si was a little amused when he heard it, but more of it was a strange warm current that suddenly swelled in his heart, and he laughed and said: "According to what you say, it is still something to be proud of being a chess piece?" β
"I'm not good at chess, I only play one game of chess in my life, and I only hold one piece."
"So, I should be glad to be the only pawn in your hands?"
"You should be glad that I will do my best for the only piece."
The voice of the dead man's face was still so plain, but the resentment in Shu Si's heart almost disappeared.
Yes, the face of a dead man has always been like this, cold and indifferent, and he expects him to express his feelings like a normal person, isn't that difficult for a strong man? And, although the dead face is not said, but in fact...... He was indeed cultivated by him as a successor. Moreover, as a pawn, he is used by him to live better than death, but the dead face himself is not much better. In this game of chess, he is actually a chess piece himself.
Thinking about this, there was only one pimple left in Shu Si's heart.
"You tell me in advance about these things......"
"Tell you in advance, and your appearance will not be natural. After all, you've only been a pawn for less than a year, I can't believe it. β
Although the dead face said that he couldn't believe it, Shu Si felt more at ease when he heard it.
It's not because he doesn't value himself, on the contrary, because he attaches too much importance to it, so he can't believe it...... And that feeling is not bad.
"So...... Dead face, what the hell is going on now? Are you really dead or fake your death? What do you want me to do when you put me next to Luo Xiao? β
After recovering his state of mind, Shu Si's problems suddenly increased. But before the dead face could reply, he heard footsteps outside.
Shu Si immediately calmed down, and he didn't dare to talk to the voice in his head. At this time, he was clever, and naturally wanted to get a cunning that could not expose the face of a dead person.
A moment later, the door opened, and it was Luo Xiao, unsurprisingly.
"Looks like you're pretty good with this puppet's body." Luo Xiao smiled a little sarcastically, "I just woke up and knew how to cry." β
Shu Si's heart sank, and when he guessed that when Fang Cai was excited, it was likely that he did not control his physical body...... But it's not a big deal.
Almost alive and near, especially when you find that although you are not dead, you are better off than dead, and it is human nature to cry twice. If it weren't for Shu Si's rush to confront the dead man's face, I'm afraid he would have to cry first before he had time to think about other things.
So he didn't panic and dealt with Luo Xiao with just the right attitude: "...... What do you want? β
Luo Xiao smiled: "What do I want to do?" Now there are too many people in the Immortal City who want to know what I am doing, and I'm afraid that half of the elders of the Tongtian Holy Hall alone are crazy thinking about this question, why should I sue you? β
But after a while, Luo Xiao smiled again: "However, if you are idle and bored, I can say a few words to you." For example, do you want to know who is behind my back to instigate this qiΔ? β
Shu Si's heart was shocked, and he didn't deliberately hide the shock.
"Behind you, aren't you a fallen immortal?"
"Fallen Immortals?" Luo Xiao smiled disappreδΈι¨ly, "If there is a genuine fallen immortal, where will it be my turn to be a dog for others." Any Fallen Immortal who has descended in its entirety can sweep through today's Immortal City...... Don't worry, the real fallen immortals are coming, it's still very early. β
"Grunt."
Shu Si only heard it in shock, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"However, it was not so easy for the fallen immortals to descend on Kyushu completely, and now they only stretched out a hand at most. That's why you need a helper...... Or loyal dogs. Luo Xiao smiled and pointed at himself, and then stretched out his hand to Shu Si.
"Shu Si, are you interested in joining me as a dog of fallen immortals?"
