Shu Si had never been as angry as he was now.
As a street ranger, he had long been accustomed to being deceived and used by others. How could a person not be stabbed in the river? It wasn't that Shu Si couldn't afford to lose. In fact, he had long been numb to it.
He was a young man with no background, no talent, and no luck. Most of the time, he would take small advantages and then suffer big losses. Sometimes he was robbed by strong gangsters, and sometimes he was exploited by some profiteers, but Shu Si could always make himself laugh.
Because if there was no hope, there would be no disappointment. Shu Si would not expect too much. No matter who betrayed or deceived him, it would not hurt his heart.
However, at this moment, Shu Si was in pain.
"Dead Face, did you do all of this on purpose?"
Before this Resuscitation, Shu Si didn't have time to think too much. At that time, he only knew that Dead Face might be plotted against by Luo Xiao, and he wanted to help him get out of trouble. But after another deep sleep, he suddenly felt that his mind was a lot lighter, and many problems were strung together.
For example, forcing himself to seek cooperation with Luo Xiao, was he deliberately sending him to his death? For example, how many secrets were hidden in the Jade Bone Technique? For example, right now, he could speak directly in his mind. Was this also part of his calculation?
In Shu Si's heart, he already had the answer, but he still had to hear the other party's confirmation before he could really believe it.
At this moment, he couldn't tell what his mood was like. Shu Si even thought, what if Dead Face said that everything was just a coincidence? Would he feel relieved? Would she accept everything seriously and change her mind for peace of mind?
Unfortunately, Dead Face didn't give him room to continue to struggle.
"Yes, I calculated all of this from the beginning."
"Including … letting me die?"
"Of course, I considered the possibility of your death, but according to the calculation, you won't really die."
"But I have become like this!" Shu Si roared in his heart, "Dead Face, why!?"
"Because it's more advantageous." Dead Face explained lightly, "Now you have gained the initial trust of Luo Xiao, and I have been able to hide my existence. In my expectation, this is the most advantageous situation. "
"The most beneficial? What kind of advantage was this?! What do you take me for!? "
Dead Face was silent for a moment, then said, "I thought you could understand all this."
"…"
"The opponent is the Fallen Immortal, it's not easy to win this situation. You're now a nail planted by Luo Xiao's side. When the time comes, you'll be able to turn the tables and make the opponent bleed. If I were to face him head-on, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it even if I paid a hundred times the price. "
Shu Si shook his head, but the sorrow in his heart deepened. In fact, he didn't fully understand the layout of Dead Face, but he didn't have to understand it so well.
Now that he had fallen into Luo Xiao's hands, he did not die. He had indeed become a nail hidden by his side. The price of burying a mole around the Fallen Immortal could be imagined.
"So, from the very beginning … you've treated me as a chess piece?"
The Dead Face calmly said, "Yes, from the beginning, you are the best chess piece in my hand."
"…" Shu Si's heart was like dead ashes. A moment later, bitterness surged in his heart, and he couldn't even say half a word.
However, Dead Face was a bit strange. "Do you feel wronged? Strange, why do you feel wronged? "
Shu Si felt that it was absurd. You have hurt me like this, yet you don't allow me to feel wronged?
"Before you met me, you were just a precarious mortal in the marketplace. It was I who brought you into the world of immortal cultivation. It was I who taught you to develop Qing Feng Enterprise. It was I who raised you from a penniless pawn to a pivotal business giant. You … What qualifications do you have to feel wronged?"
"…"
"Or do you think it's too much of a loss for you to die young? It's true that you haven't lived in the City of Immortals for a long time, and it's only been a few months since you became a business giant. However, in this short period of time, you have experienced the luxury life that ordinary people can't experience even if they reincarnated ten times. Your daily consumption is enough for a city ranger to squander for a hundred years. The woman you slept with a few days ago is a fairy that ordinary people can't even look up to. In such a life, you should die without regret, let alone you're not dead. "
When Shu Si heard these words, he felt even colder.
Of course, he knew how good Dead Face was to him. Thus, he once vowed in his heart that in the future, even if he had to be a cow or a horse, he would repay his kindness … Even when he was excited, he even thought of breaking his bones to repay his kindness.
That's right, a slippery teenager from the marketplace was actually moved by Dead Face to have the idea of dying for his bosom friend. Shu Si had long given his life to Dead Face. However, at this moment, he felt the coldness penetrating into his bones and his heart aching.
After a long time, he asked, "Dead Face, am I just a chess piece to you? From the beginning to the end, you're just using me. Don't you have any other … thoughts? "
Dead Face lightly said, "What do you want me to think?"
"I …" Shu Si wanted to say something, but he felt that his chest was stuffy and he couldn't say anything.
He thought that Dead Face would stiffly say no, so that he could let go of the last trace of fluke, but … the rhetorical question that was more hurtful than a stiff refusal put him on the verge of collapse.
"Yes, that's right. What should I want you to think? I'm just a street swordsman, a prodigal who probably won't live past the age of twenty. What can I hope for the famous Xuan Yinzi to think about 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 the City of Immortals. Even if you're a cat or a dog, you should have some feelings, right? I-I've always regarded you as mine … How could you … "
However, just when Shu Si's feelings were 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 you and I hadn't been together for nearly a year, I would never have believed you. "
Shu Si found this somewhat funny, but more than that, a strange warmth suddenly surged in his heart. He laughed and said, "According to what you said, being a chess piece is something to be proud of?"
"I'm not good at chess. I only play one game of chess in my life, and I only hold one chess piece."
"So, should I feel lucky to be the only chess piece in your hand?"
"You should indeed feel lucky. For the only chess piece, I will do my best."
The voice of Dead Face was still so flat, but the resentment in Shu Si's heart had almost disappeared.
Yes, Dead Face had always been like this, cold and indifferent. If he expected him to express his feelings like a normal person, wouldn't that be forcing him? Moreover, although Dead Face didn't say it, in fact … he was indeed cultivated by him as a successor. Moreover, as a chess piece, he was used by him, but Dead Face himself was not much better. In this game of chess, he himself was also a chess piece.
Understanding this, there was only one knot left in Shu Si's heart.
"You told me these things in advance …"
"If I told you in advance, your performance would not be natural. After all, you've only been a chess piece for less than a year, so I can't trust you. "
Although Dead Face said that he couldn't trust him, Shu Si felt more at ease after hearing it.
It wasn't because he didn't value him. On the contrary, it was because he valued him too much that he couldn't trust him … And this feeling was not bad.
"So … Dead Face, what's the situation now? Are you really dead or pretending to be dead? What do you want me to do by placing me next to Luo Xiao? "
After recovering his state of mind, Shu Si's questions suddenly increased. But before Dead Face could answer, he heard footsteps coming from the outside.
Shu Si immediately calmed down and didn't dare to talk to the voice in his mind. At this time, he, who had recovered his cleverness, naturally wanted to not expose the existence of Dead Face.
A moment later, the door opened, and as expected, it was Luo Xiao.
"It seems that you and this puppet body are getting along well." Luo Xiao showed a somewhat sarcastic smile, "You just woke up and you already know how to cry."
Shu Si's heart turned cold. He guessed that when he was emotional just now, he probably didn't control his body well … But it was no big deal.
After a narrow escape from death, especially when he found out that although he didn't die, his life was worse than death, it was human nature to cry. If Shu Si wasn't anxious to confront Dead Face, perhaps he would have cried first before he had time to think about other things.
Therefore, he didn't panic and responded to Luo Xiao with the right attitude, "… What do you want to do?"
Luo Xiao smiled and said, "What do I want to do? There are too many people in the City of Immortals who want to know what I'm doing. I'm afraid half of the Elders of Heavenly Sage Hall have gone crazy thinking about this question. Why should I tell you? "
However, after a while, Luo Xiao opened his mouth and said with a smile, "But, since I'm bored, I can say a few words to you. For example, do you want to know who is behind all this? "
Shu Si's heart was shocked, and he did not deliberately hide this shock.
"Isn't it the Fallen Immortal behind you?"
"Fallen Immortal?" Luo Xiao smiled disapprovingly and said, "If there are real Fallen Immortals, how could I be their dog? Any complete Fallen Immortal can sweep the City of Immortals today … Don't worry, it's still early for the real Fallen Immortal to come. "
"Gulp."
Hearing this, Shu Si's heart jumped and he could not help but swallow his saliva.
"However, it's not that easy for the Fallen Immortals to come to Nine Regions completely. Right now, at most, they just stretched out a hand. That's why they need a helper … or a loyal dog. "Luo Xiao smiled and pointed to himself, and then reached out to Shu Si.
"Shu Si, are you interested in being the dog of the Fallen Immortal with me?"
