Chapter 521: Contract with Shi Wanyun (5400 words)

Views:

"You three, go down first. It's better if you don't hear or see what happens next."

Xu Xin said to Li Yajun, Le Youfang and Niu Fugui: "You don't need to worry about the confrontation. Our strength is not comparable to that of other areas. Just let the people below relax. After a while, when the temperature outside drops completely to normal, you can return to your tree house."

“Oh oh…” Niu Fugui nodded blankly and walked downstairs.

"Oh my god... I'm running away." Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Le Youfang ran downstairs directly.

"Okay, but about Wen Xi..." Li Yajun was still worried.

"Don't worry, Wen Xi must have chosen to leave on her own, and I also believe in my sister." Xu Xin said, "Yingying... won't do anything to hurt Wen Xi."

Although he was also worried, he could only think positively now.

"... Yeah." Li Yajun could only nod and walk downstairs.

The people downstairs were quickly pacified.

After all, the strength demonstrated by Xu Xin in the past few days, whether it was blowing up giants or shooting through giant insects, is indeed reassuring.

At this time, Xu Xin was staring at Shi Wanyun, thinking about everything.

The contract method she mentioned is indeed a very good method.

But... why does she feel so positive

In fact, he has always had this idea, but he felt that it might be difficult, and he might have to take coercive measures to subdue her first and then control her.

Unexpectedly, she actually brought it up herself.

Would an average survivor rush to hand over his or her life to someone else

If she were an ordinary survivor or an ordinary woman, it would be understandable.

After all, one person would definitely not be able to survive, so it seems that there is nothing wrong in entrusting one's life to the strongest survivor belonging to the strongest organization.

But... she is the strongest survivor in Area 1, and Area 1 is also the strongest area except Area 188.

Xu Xin found it hard to believe that a woman like this would give up her life and freedom so easily.

Could it be that she wanted to retreat in order to advance, and show her loyalty first, thinking that this would make her pity her, trust her, and give up the idea of controlling her with the contract

No... She shouldn't be so naive.

This is a world where people can die at any time. No one would place a time bomb next to them. If it can be controlled, it must be controlled.

Zeng Tao and Qin Fu, who had done nothing wrong at the beginning, were under his control because of their strong strength. It was impossible for him to show mercy to Shi Wanyun, who made him feel that there was something wrong.

…If she wasn’t attracted to me and fell in love with me at first sight and insisted on following me, then… she had other purposes.

Since even Xu Xin himself doesn’t believe the former, it can only be the latter.

She did have another purpose, it was obvious.

but…

What is the purpose that is worth her sacrificing her freedom and life for

Xu Xin looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shi Wanyun felt a little flustered when he looked at her.

She had realized that she had been too proactive and had aroused suspicion.

At the side, Lou Fei'er also looked at her with suspicion: "You can't be controlled by the contract, right?"

Can’t be controlled…

Xu Xin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Her words made Shi Wanyun's eyes tremble slightly, and then she looked at her puzzledly and asked: "What do you mean? Why do you think so?"

"Hmm..." Lou Feier touched her smooth chin and continued to look at her with suspicion, "I think... you are playing us, and your acting is a bit poor."

"I..." Shi Wanyun frowned slightly, a little unhappy, "Does everyone around Xu Xin talk like this?"

"Huh? Did Xu Xin say something like that?" Lou Feier glanced at Xu Xin with some surprise.

"Ah?" Zeng Tao was very confused, twisting her head to look at the people on the field, "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"

Jin Yue was standing behind Shi Wanyun. Although she was leaning against the wall and looked relaxed, one of her feet was against the wall, ready to attack at any time.

"But she's giving it away for free, right?" Lou Feier turned around and looked at Shi Wanyun, "Is this how the District 1 boss operates? Do you know how long I struggled? You're too..."

Hearing Lou Feier say this, Xu Xin couldn't help but want to laugh.

Lou Feier was indeed very difficult to deal with at first. Even after being contracted, she was still disobedient at first, and was only conquered slowly later.

It was also because of Lou Feier's transformation that he had great trust in this contract, and he didn't even think that there would be any problems with the contract.

But for Shi Wanyun, this is indeed possible.

After all, she had been to the back of the planet and climbed that towering tree, so maybe she had encountered those alien invaders.

That being said…

Those alien invaders, perhaps they have already controlled her? !

"When you applied the medicine earlier, were there any blood streaks on her body?" Xu Xin immediately asked Lou Fei'er and the others.

"No blood streaks." Lou Feier shook her head. "I have observed her carefully. After all, she is different from the three of us. Her body is very clean. There are no blood streaks anywhere."

"... You guys, talking about other people's bodies in front of each other, isn't that a bit too rude?" Shi Wanyun said with a little embarrassment.

No

“… What do you mean? What on earth are you talking about? I’m going to make a scene!” Zeng Tao didn’t understand and was about to throw a tantrum, but Jin Yue patted her on the shoulder.

"If you don't understand, then wait for action. We just need to keep an eye on her and don't let her run away." Jin Yue stared at Shi Wanyun and said.

"Ah? Oh oh..." Zeng Tao didn't quite understand, "Well... is there really something wrong with her? Then..."

Zeng Tao walked to Shi Wanyun's side, stretched out her little hands, firmly grasped Shi Wanyun's wrists, clamped her behind her back, and then said to Xu Xin: "Okay, she can't run away now."

"You..." Shi Wanyun was helpless.

She twisted her body and tried to break free, but Zeng Tao's strength to restrain a person was so great that even she couldn't shake him at all.

So strong...

Xu Xin walked forward and looked her in the face: "Do you really want me to sign the contract?"

"If you don't believe me, you can do it anytime." Shi Wanyun stopped struggling and looked at him calmly, "If you don't even believe in your own methods, then I have nothing to say."

"Hmm..." Lou Feier glanced at her again, then said to Xu Xin, "Maybe. She didn't mean to deceive us, but was just eager to become a member of District 188, so she took the initiative. Otherwise, her acting skills are too bad, terrible."

"… What do you mean it's so bad?" Shi Wanyun, who was standing by, was a little impatient after being told this several times, but she couldn't show it, so she could only hold back her temper and asked softly.

Lou Feier tapped her chin and said, "Well... If I were you, even if I would not be controlled by the contract, I would definitely pretend to be controlled by the contract, and then unconsciously bring up the matter of the contract, but I would very, very refuse to be signed."

"If you want to contract me, I will definitely curse loudly, and then attack Xu Xin in the most emotional state and run away. This will immediately be regarded as an unstable factor, and I will definitely be subdued by force."

"But because I am strong and useful, Xu Xin will not kill me on the spot. Instead, he will control me by forcing me to take pills and sign a mutation contract."

She continued to touch her chin, thinking as she said, "Well, at this time, you must really resist, even fight with all your might, causing some harm to the people around you, and getting hurt yourself, even if the injuries are serious."

"After the contract is completed and everything is settled, I will pretend to be well-behaved and pitiful, struggling with my inner struggle despite hating it. In this way, can't I stay by Xu Xin's side easily and rely on his guilt towards me to gain his trust?"

She clapped her hands and her eyes lit up: "That's right! A perfect plan! This will definitely fool Xu Xin!"

Xu Xin: “…”

If he really did that, he really wouldn't be able to see anything unusual.

It is even possible that he might feel a little guilty about forcing himself to control her, and thus take care of her in everything.

… absolutely amazing.

She is worthy of being Lou Feier, who almost killed herself with her acting skills.

Shi Wanyun: "... What on earth are you talking about?"

"Oh, it's okay. I'm speaking for you." Lou Feier showed an embarrassed expression. "I just thought that if you will not be controlled by the contract and want to use it to stay with Xu Xin and have other intentions, then you should do as I say."

"Since you didn't do that, it means you are sincere. Otherwise, it would be a bit too stupid. The big sister of District 1 shouldn't be so stupid." Lou Feier looked at Xu Xin, "So now I think she is sincere."

Shi Wanyun had a lot to say, but in the end it was just four words: "... You are right."

She tried to control her voice and make it sound very calm: "I don't know why you think there is something wrong with me. I was just forced to come here. I did this just because I felt that if it was a regional confrontation, the people from other regions combined would not be able to match your 188th region.

"Instead of fighting you, it's better to surrender directly. The chance of survival is greater. There may be a possibility of returning to the original world in the future. That is my ultimate goal."

"And... in this world, even if I am not under your contract, can I be said to be in control of my life? Can I be said to be free?"

Although Shi Wanyun's tone was still gentle, she seemed to be slightly agitated: "You said I gave up my life and freedom? My life and freedom are no longer under my control."

"If you don't believe in me as a refugee, just sign the contract, that's all." As she said this, her eyes turned slightly red and she turned her head away slightly, feeling quite a bit of grievance as if she had been wronged.

Of course, she was gritting her teeth in her heart.

She didn't know whether Lou Fei'er was sincere in what she said or was just trying to piss her off. But she had no choice but to go along with what Lou Fei'er said.

If she showed even a hint of anger, wouldn't that mean Lou Feier was right

Moreover, what Lou Feier said... is indeed right and makes a lot of sense.

She even feels a little regretful now.

Why didn’t I think of such a good idea just now

In fact, she might have thought of this method, but the mysterious voice came too suddenly, disrupting her plans and making her thoughts very confused.

At this time, it was already good enough that she could think of using a contract to make Xu Xin trust her within a few minutes.

Not everyone is a super actor like Lou Fei'er who can carry his own script.

At this moment, Jin Yue looked at Lou Feier with a hint of astonishment in her eyes because of Lou Feier's thoughts.

Only Zeng Tao was still confused and didn't know what to say. All she could do was continue to hold Shi Wanyun and prevent her from moving.

“… Can you be a little gentler?” Shi Wanyun felt like her wrist was about to break, so she had no choice but to whisper to Zeng Tao behind her.

“Ah? Oh oh…” Zeng Tao relaxed the strength in her hands slightly.

Xu Xin no longer hesitated.

Regardless of whether Shi Wanyun can be controlled or not, this step must be taken.

If there is really nothing wrong with her, Xu Xin now has a potion that can turn the mutated bloodline into her own power, so he can just give her a dose when the time comes.

He took out a mutant pill: "Open your mouth."

Shi Wanyun showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but still opened her mouth slightly, allowing Xu Xin to stuff the pill into her mouth, and then swallowed it in front of everyone.

"You guys, pay attention. Shi Wanyun, you can enter the explosive state now." Xu Xin said to Shi Wanyun.

She must enter an outbreak mode once before she can truly possess the blood pattern mutation and then she can make a contract.

Now comes the key.

The people around them also tensed up, and Zeng Tao's hands became even stronger.

"I won't resist." Shi Wanyun frowned slightly because of the pain in her wrist, and then, without any warning, two red lines appeared on her face, and her pores also began to turn red.

Xu Xin directly took out the contract and crushed it in front of her: "Don't resist, otherwise the contract will not succeed and I will have no choice but to kill you."

“… I said, I won’t resist.”

Shi Wanyun let the fragments of the contract merge into her body, and then, a voice came into Xu Xin's ears.

Contract mutant human. The points system is wrong and points cannot be obtained.

This sound should be the mechanical sound made by the chip in his mind.

Was the contract successful

So easy…

But what does it mean that the points system is wrong

Is there really something wrong with Shi Wanyun

etc…

The Points Mall, should it be something that the mysterious voice prepared? Since the mysterious voice turned the table over with them, now...

Xu Xin immediately opened the watch, but...

He could no longer find the option for the points mall.

… It is indeed so!

The points mall... was directly closed!

This mysterious voice is really... a little stingy.

"You are..." Shi Wanyun frowned and looked at him with slightly dissatisfied eyes.

He had just been contracted and he was already looking at his watch. What did that mean

Am I so unimportant

Xu Xin glanced at her and a map appeared in his mind.

Shi Wanyun is now indeed the green light that represents her own people.

Success

"Zeng Tao, stop it." Xu Xin said to Zeng Tao who was still holding her.

"Oh, okay." Zeng Tao loosened her hands upon hearing that. Shi Wanyun was able to pull her hands back from her back and rub her wrists that had turned purple from being pinched.

Zeng Tao's strength is really great.

Xu Xin glanced at her wrist which was pinched badly, his eyes moved slightly, and then asked: "What is your ability?"

"... Speed." Shi Wanyun said softly, "My current speed is very fast."

"Oh, so it's the same as me?" Lou Fei'er was a little surprised, and then said casually, "But your current speed can't match mine. I'm about to upgrade to a high-level mutation, and you're just a low-level mutation."

"I'll give you a small tree house. Since you can't go back, you can stay here first." Xu Xin manipulated the watch and changed the name of the owner of the empty small tree house around the tree house to her. "Okay, I'll take you down."

"You... don't have anything you want to ask me?" Shi Wanyun looked at him and said.

"I need to take care of other things now. I will ask you about your matter later. You should stay in the tree house now. When the burst mode is over, you will be in a weak state, so don't go out."

"... I understand." Shi Wanyun was silent for a moment, then nodded obediently.

After sending Shi Wanyun down, Xu Xin watched her obey his instructions and enter the tree house he designated, and narrowed his eyes.

Is she really under contract again now

… Whether she was indentured or not, she had problems.

The problem was with her wrist just now.

After entering the burst mode, wouldn't all the injuries on the body be healed

Lou Feier was able to recover easily from her fatal injury, so why was there still purple swelling on her wrist from being clamped for so long

… She didn’t go into breakout mode

But she didn't enter the explosive mode, how did her appearance change? How was the contract signed

Or is it that her outbreak pattern is rather special

… That’s really strange.

In short, this woman still cannot be taken lightly.

But now it seems that she really wants to stay here and has no plans to do anything else, so he will just wait and see the situation.

Although this woman is a hidden danger, she cannot be killed directly.

The secrets in her must be uncovered.

If she was really contracted, she would tell him everything when he asked her after he was done with his work.

If not... then, we'll take a long-term view and use force if necessary to force her to speak out.

He sighed and sent another voice message to Li Wenxi, but the call still did not connect.

"Well, she should be fine, right?" At this time, Lou Feier also came over and looked out the window, "Like I said just now, if that's the case, then she is indeed a little... stupid."

"Speaking of this," Xu Xin turned around and looked at Lou Fei'er with some suspicion: "Why do I feel that what you just said is so similar to your experience? Aren't you treating me like this now? In fact, you have already gotten rid of control? You are not pretending to be me all the time, are you?"

"I..." Lou Feier was choked for a moment, then she stared at him with wide eyes, gritting her teeth, "If I get rid of your control, I will run away without looking back at night! You bastard, you still don't trust me!"

"Oh?" Xu Xin said with a smile, "Among the resources you just got, there is a potion that can make you no longer under control. As long as you inject that potion, you can get rid of my control now and run away without looking back."

"Ah?" Lou Feier was startled, then her eyes widened again, "Huh? You said... really possible?!"

Zeng Tao turned around suddenly and looked over: "Wait... that potion can also invalidate your contract?!"

Jin Yue was just a little surprised, but didn't say anything. She was not controlled by the contract.

Xu Xin nodded.

That potion should be able to remove all mental control related to blood pattern mutation.

Including mutant biological contracts made from advanced mutant biological materials.

"Take out all the treasures you got from that room." Xu Xin said to the three people.

He wanted to see what his hundreds-year-old self had left for his future self.
