Chapter 45 The Emperor’s Probe

Xi Zhitong fell to the ground, lost all vital signs, and turned into a perfect body without a soul. The lifeless him was like the model Shan Weiyi intended to build on the system panel that had materialized. But, lying on the ground, it was just a model.

This was no longer Xi Zhitong.

Without a soul, this body can no longer be called “perfect”.

For the first time since entering the Small World, Shan Weiyi felt real emotional fluctuations—this was very unprofessional. No matter what happens, he should keep the dissociation of an outsider. As a quick transmigrator who came with a mission, freedom was very important to him. He needed to get rid of his own emotions, so that he could make every decision in the calmest way, ensure the smooth completion of the task, and ensure that he would not suffer any harm.

Even with a knife on his neck, he must not be afraid.

Even if he was forced to drill someone’s crotch, he should not feel ashamed or resentful.

All along, he had done well.

Until this moment—

Shan Weiyi suddenly stood up from the soft feather sofa, his posture was like a feline whose territory had been violated, and his soft and beautiful muscle lines were ready to burst out, becoming deadly at any time.

This was also inappropriate.

This was not him…

Perhaps, this was not the reaction “Young Master Shan” should have had.

In comparison, the emperor was calm and peaceful, as if Shan Weiyi’s sudden anger was just a breeze blowing across the river.

But Shan Weiyi’s chest was ignited with flames, and the flames licked every inch of his body, making him feel like he was being burned. The flames scorched his heart, and there was pain everywhere.

This kind of pain made him become a flesh-and-blood person who loved and hated, rather than a quick transmigrator who stood on the sidelines. This was very bad for him, and his clever mind could clearly figure it out, but he didn’t seem to think of it, or didn’t care, or maybe he didn’t have time to take care of it.

His fur stood up like a cat, and his sharp claws pierced out of his soft and cute flesh, beautiful lethal.

However, if the paw goes out, the situation he had planned for so long might completely collapse, but he didn’t seem to think of it, or didn’t care, or maybe he had no time to take care of it—

He was going to make an impulsive decision that may make him regret at any time.

And the emperor was clearly happy to see it happen.

Every muscle of his was on standby at any time, and his eyes revealed Shan Weiyi’s own determination…

At this second, his anger was full-

But it was also at this second that there was a sound in his head, a familiar voice: Master, I’m back.

This voice – every parameter was carefully adjusted by Shan Weiyi, so that every sentence was the most touching melody for him. Even the slightly mechanical tone of voice can become a clumsy yet cute decoration.

His tone was everywhere and pitiful.

Therefore, he only needed to say such a simple sentence to recall Shan Weiyi’s calmness and rationality.

Xi Zhitong’s body declared death, so he automatically returned to Shan Weiyi consciousness.

Because this body was a “possession prop”, it was originally for Shan Weiyi’s possession. Even if the body dies, the soul can be protected and return to the body. The system was naturally the same.

Shan Weiyi could figure this out, but when Xi Zhitong was murdered in front of him, he still couldn’t control his emotions.

Xi Zhitong’s voice was very soothing: “It has been detected that your adrenaline secretion is too strong, do you need physical and mental balance assistance?”

Shan Weiyi smiled: It is already balanced.

Xi Zhitong was quite puzzled, but judging from the data flow, Shan Weiyi’s adrenaline had indeed gradually returned to normal.

However, at the last second, Shan Weiyi jumped up from the sofa angrily, clenched his fists and was ready to shake it at the emperor’s face at any time.

At this time, if he suddenly calmed down, it would seem a bit abrupt.

During this 0.01 second, Shan Weiyi’s calm mind was enough for him to make the most appropriate expression. He didn’t change his movement, he swung his fist in the air, and his face remained angry, like an angry drunk: “How could you kill him!”

The emperor raised his eyebrows: “Why not?”

Shan Weiyi said angrily: ” Without him, I can’t do anything.”

The emperor smiled lightly and said, “With your intelligence, even without him, you can accomplish many things.”

Shan Weiyi sneered: “Your Majesty praises me too much.”

The emperor said: “Besides, what he can do for you, I can also do.”

This sentence was very interesting, after Shan Weiyi heard it, he just remained silent for a while. He still pretended to be angry, after all, he was so angry that he jumped up just now, if he calmed down in a few words, it would be too fake, and the emperor would definitely be suspicious.

He paced around the room, looking like a raging beast, his eyes showed a fierce light from time to time, occasionally staring at the emperor, but he quickly restrained himself.

He very faithfully played the role of a ruthless young master who was very angry when his companion was killed, but calmed down and began to weigh the pros and cons.

The emperor stood aside, as if waiting for Shan Weiyi to digest his anger and become shrewd again.

It took a while for Shan Weiyi to express that he had digested his anger and became aware of current affairs again. He said: “I don’t know what capital crime Xi Zhitong committed?”

The emperor said: “He committed all the serious crimes.”

Shan Weiyi laughed: “Speaking like that, then it seems like I also committed death crimes.”

He appeared not afraid, it seems that the emperor will not kill him.

In fact, he wasn’t entirely sure. The emperor was so different from the character he had read in the script that he was a little caught off guard, and he was really not sure what card the emperor would play.

But Shan Weiyi still looked confident. He was used to such scenes, and he knew that people who are at the gambling table must know how to bluff, even if they know that the opponent has a pair of king bombs.

The emperor said: “You have indeed committed a capital crime.”

Shan Weiyi’s mind changed: If he thought that the emperor smiled at him before because he wanted to kill him when he first came here, now he didn’t think so. If the emperor really wanted to kill himself, he could have done it directly. But the emperor killed Xi Zhitong first, and pretended to be very elegant and considerate. In other words, the emperor’s killing of Xi Zhitong was nothing more than the killing of a chicken or monkey.

Judging from the emperor’s attitude towards him, it seemed more like he was showing friendship, maybe he wanted to win him over.

With some certainty, Shan Weiyi looked calmer.

Shan Weiyi sat down on the feather sofa, without any fear: “But since your majesty spared my life and gave me a seat, I think there is something I can do for you.”

The emperor did not respond directly, but said: “What do you think?”

Shan Weiyi rolled his eyes and said, “Freedom Federation.”

The emperor seemed satisfied with the answer, but he didn’t immediately give him full marks: “What does that mean?”

“Your Majesty’s gaze on the broad universe, of course, not only focused on the Emperor star system, but the Freedom Federation must also be in your vision.”

The emperor smiled: “Then what can you do for me?”

Shan Weiyi said smoothly: “Your Majesty’s information network is well-informed, you should know that I have become friends with Jun Gengjin, and he is waiting for me at the exit of the wormhole at the end of the Freedom Federation.”

“Yes, you traitor.” The strange thing was that the emperor said “traitor” in a tone that seemed like saying “bad boy”, terribly intimate.

Shan Weiyi could get goosebumps for this. He blinked, suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said: “Your Majesty has clairvoyant eyes and good ears, and is omniscient and omnipotent. I cannot and dare not be a traitor.”

The emperor laughed and said: “I haven’t heard such a direct speech from a person for a long time. I’m flattered.”

Shan Weiyi: If you don’t like direct flattery, then it’s better to give you direct sarcasm.

Although Shan Weiyi criticized him in his heart, he still had a smile on his face: “I have little talent and learning, and I really can’t shoot fresh and moving flattery. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

The emperor said lightly: “This kind of unrealistic words can be avoided, it is better for you to tell me directly, what can you do for me?”

Shan Weiyi replied: “Jun Gengjin is the master of the Freedom Federation, if I let you get everything that Jun Gengjin has, then the Freedom Federation will naturally be in your pocket.”

“Everything is not necessary.” The emperor said very casually, “I only need one thing.”

Hearing “one thing”, Shan Weiyi’s curious ears almost pricked up.

The emperor had a super brain that can control the Emperor Star Network, so it shouldn’t be very difficult to conquer the Freedom Federation. But he didn’t do that, proving that the Freedom Federation also has a card that can resist the emperor’s super brain.

Shan Weiyi thought that Jun Gengjin seemed to know that the emperor had a super brain… Come to think of it, Jun Gengjin, a capitalist, still must have something.

But what this thing was, Shan Weiyi still didn’t know.

Judging from the words of the emperor, he was afraid that the emperor also wanted to get this thing.

Shan Weiyi asked: “What is it?”

The emperor said: “A door.”

Shan Weiyi was surprised: “A door?”

The emperor kept it a secret: “I don’t know much about it.”

Shan Weiyi was even more surprised: “Your Majesty possesses the highest wisdom, why don’t you know much?”

The emperor smiled: “If I really have the highest wisdom, how do you know that I have the highest wisdom?”

It’s still a bit illogical, but it pricked Shan Weiyi like a needle.

Shan Weiyi immediately felt something was wrong. When he looked at the emperor’s golden pupils, he felt as if he was being seen through, and he felt quite insecure. But he remained calm and said with a smile: “I’m just flattering you.”

The emperor also smiled: “There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people. I never dare to boast that I am the ‘highest’. Can you do it? “

Shan Weiyi’s heart tightened, and he felt that the emperor’s words and smile had a deep meaning, it was an almost obvious probe. Shan Weiyi said directly: “I can’t. No one can.”

Shan Weiyi didn’t want to continue this slightly dangerous topic. After a second of silence, he put on a sad look again: “But without Xi Zhitong, it’s like losing your left arm and right arm, and it’s really difficult to move forward.”

The emperor said: “I said, I can do anything Xi Zhitong can do for you.”

“How dare I bother the sacred Highness?” Shan Weiyi cupped his hands.

The emperor smiled: “Then try it on your own. If you have any difficulties, contact me again.”

Shan Weiyi said: “How can I contact you?

The emperor replied: “You just need to use the Emperor Star network to contact me.” Then, the emperor kept smiling and looked at Shan Weiyi: “Don’t you know this?”

Shan Weiyi was stupefied by his probing, and he no longer felt the nervousness of his heart at the beginning, so he calmly replied: “I’m going to the Freedom Federation and will use the Federal Network. In a critical moment, I’m afraid I may not be able to connect to the Emperor Star Network. After all, you know that there is a firewall between the Emperor Star Network and the Federation Network.”

The firewall in Jun Information Center can block the emperor and also guard against it, it was also a dark technology against the heavens.

The emperor said: “There is a way to allow you to connect to the Internet at any time.”

Shan Weiyi was curious about the emperor’s technological level, and quickly asked: “Please tell me.”

The emperor said: “You open your sea of ​​​​consciousness to me, our brains will be interconnected.”

The emperor had a super brain, and it was really not difficult to connect other people’s brains. This can indeed achieve real-time communication.

However, before Shan Weiyi answered, Xi Zhitong in his mind said: I disagree.

Shan Weiyi found it funny, now Xi Zhitong not only knew how to f*ck, but also made trouble and disagreed.

Shan Weiyi said: Why?

Xi Zhitong said slowly: For the sake of information security, it is not recommended for the host to implant external plug-ins.

This mechanical sound changed from its usual natural and smooth sound to a blunt stutter, as if there was a problem with the sound card.

Shan Weiyi chuckled: Tell the truth.

Xi Zhitong’s voice became smooth again: I have a strong desire to monopolize your brain.

Shan Weiyi said: Coincidentally, me too.

Even if Xi Zhitong agreed to open consciousness, Shan Weiyi could not agree.

However, Shan Weiyi pretended to be thinking, and after a while, he hesitated and said, “Okay, there are no side effects, right?”

Shan Weiyi said this, and the emperor’s face obviously flashed with surprise. But this surprise was quickly replaced by deep thought.

Xi Zhitong also seemed surprised: Why did the host say that?

Shan Weiyi: The emperor directly asked me to open up my consciousness, which is not reliable in the first place. He probably didn’t mean it sincerely, but it was just another probe. He probably already had some guesses about my origin, and wants to know what secrets exist in my mind. He offered to connect to my mind, probably to test this out.

Xi Zhitong: …I’m understanding what you are saying.

Shan Weiyi continued to explain: If I talk around him from left to right, or flatly refuse, he will be more convinced that I have a secret in my mind, and he would even guess that you are still alive. But now if I directly agree, he will not be so sure.

Xi Zhitong thought for a second and said: I understand. However, since you agreed, why didn’t he follow the trend to connect with your consciousness? In this way, he can directly understand your brain.

Shan Weiyi smiled: You forgot his character? He is so cautious and suspicious, if I did not open my mind to him, he would dare to come. Now that I agree after thinking about it, he would have suspicions instead, fearing that there is some high-dimensional technology in my consciousness that can hack his super brain in turn.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and it was as expected by Shan Weiyi. Because Shan Weiyi agreed too smoothly, the emperor took a step back and said, “I’m not sure about the side effects. After all, I have never connected consciousness with a living person.”

Shan Weiyi sensitively captured the “living person” word. His gaze unconsciously slid across the coffin, and then quickly withdrew. He looked suspicious and said: “Then don’t take any risks, I’ll act according to the circumstances.”

But the emperor said: “Then you be careful.”

Shan Weiyi said again: “I want to take Xi Zhitong’s body away and bury it.”

There was a smile on his face, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn’t. He smiled strangely and said, “I’m afraid that won’t work.”

Shan Weiyi frowned: “Why? Your Majesty hates him so much that he wants to whip his corpse?”

“That’s not the case.” The emperor said lightly, “I’m just afraid that you won’t come back, I will keep it as a ‘hostage’.”

Shan Weiyi smiled: “His is dead, but he is still a hostage?

“To a lover, not mentioning a corpse, even if he left behind just a strand of hair, it would be treated as treasure.” The emperor said softly, “I am very aware of this.” As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the exquisite coffin of the empress.

Shan Weiyi did not argue with the emperor, but said: “Then I am too lonely to go alone, you can find me a companion to look after each other.”

The emperor asked: “Who do you want to choose as a companion?”

Speaking of this, Shan Weiyi suddenly remembered something: “Speaking of which, we have been chatting for so long, is the Taifu still kowtowing?” And while kowtowing, he was wearing a vacuum windbreaker, with a jingle bell hanging.

So sad.

The emperor raised his eyebrows: “Do you want to choose Shen Yu as your companion?”

Shan Weiyi frowned: “Of course not, Your Majesty is so smart, can’t you see that I have decided to abandon him from beginning to end?”

The favorability for Shan Weiyi from this jingle bell wearing Taifu had already been filled, Shan Weiyi didn’t care about him at all, let alone want to bring him along. Taking the Taifu before, it was just because the Taifu had an aircraft that could fly directly to the Freedom Federation.

Now that the emperor can personally help, Shan Weiyi was of course too lazy to deal with the Taifu.

To bring companions to the Freedom Federation, it must be useful to Shan Weiyi, not only that, but also make Shan Weiyi feel easy to get along with.
