Xu Sili frowned as he looked at the words on the screen.
[1. Eliminating consciousness. The puppet will lose its autonomy and be completely under the control of its master. It will obey all of its master's orders.]
Erasing one's consciousness and refining one's body into a puppet, this method was too vicious and evil.
Although the other party could be an NPC, a lump of data, he was also an NPC now. He could be considered as one of them.
Xu Sili didn't want to violate his moral bottom line unless he had no other choice.
But, the second option …
[2. Retaining consciousness. The puppet will maintain its original independent personality and self. It won't be controlled and has the right to disobey orders. However, it can't do anything that harms its master.]
Si Sheng couldn't hurt him, but he had a high position and was equivalent to the Regent. If he didn't do it himself, he could ask someone else to do it.
After all, with Si Sheng's character, he wouldn't let him go after he stepped on his face like that.
Were the two of them not going to rest until one of them died?
Xu Sili was a little worried when he thought about it, but he couldn't say that he regretted it.
"What did Arnold ask you to do?"
Si Sheng continued to interrogate her through the window.
Mary was completely controlled by the skill. She answered whatever he asked. She said truthfully, "Lord Arnold said that there's a change in the situation and we're going to adopt Plan B."
"Plan B? Tell me more details. "
Mary replied blankly, "Plan B is to kidnap the new Emperor and force him to hand over the authority of the Roland Empire so that the Bevat Empire can smoothly take over Escher Star."
Si Sheng suddenly frowned and looked at Xu Sili.
Xu Sili, who was thinking about his options, froze.
Looking at the man's dark golden eyes, he showed an innocent expression of "I'm very obedient", but his heart was beating wildly.
Damn, please don't do the same to me!
Fortunately, Si Sheng only glanced at him and didn't seem to notice anything. He lowered his head again and looked at Mary who was in a daze.
"What if he doesn't cooperate?" He continued to ask.
Mary paused and said softly, "Kill him. That way, the Roland Empire will fall into chaos, and we will secretly stir up the situation."
She said it so softly that Xu Sili frowned when he heard it.
He had been too naive.
Is Snow Roland's situation … really that dangerous? So other than Si Sheng, how many other people wanted to kill him?
"You are an Aixue Star, why did you choose to betray us?"
At this time, he heard Si Sheng ask.
That's right, this Mary is obviously from Exexue Star. After all, Beirut Star is filled with lizardmen.
Furthermore, in Snow Roland's memories, he seemed to treat this maid sister quite well. He did not mistreat or abuse her at all.
"Lord Arnold promised me that after the matter is settled, he will arrange for me to go to the Flanda Interstellar Federation."
Mary said faintly.
"I will start a new life there. I won't have to worry about being conscripted by the army all the time, and I might lose my life at any moment!"
Xu Sili did not say anything.
Mary was an Elementalist, and she probably had a rare talent for the dark element. In the Roland Empire, most of the Elementalists were stationed in the army to fight against interstellar beasts.
She was indeed in danger of being conscripted, but Xu Sili knew that the original little Emperor did not have such thoughts.
"How many people do you have left?"
Si Sheng was expressionless, and the interrogation was still going on.
"I only know two. They are waiting for me outside. If I don't succeed, they will carry out other plans."
"Other plans?"
"Yes, I didn't participate in those, but most likely they will open the city gates and let the interstellar beasts in …"
Mary's voice suddenly became agitated, "So I must succeed! Even if I kill His Majesty, I can't let them open the city gates! "
"That's too dangerous, many people will die!"
Xu Sili was speechless.
So other people's lives were important, but not his?
However, the original Snow Roland did want to abandon his people and hand over Ai Xuexing. If he had not transmigrated, if he had not refused …
Well, then Snow Roland would have been killed by Si Sheng, and the Bevat Empire's scheme would not have succeeded.
Perhaps it was because of the violent emotions, or because Si Sheng had removed his control, Mary's eyes suddenly became clear again. She was at a loss at first, but then her eyes widened in shock.
"What did you do to me?!"
She stared at Si Sheng and said with a face full of fear.
Obviously, she still retained the memory of when she was just controlled. That feeling was probably very scary. She could not help but say everything the enemy wanted to know. Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end.
Si Sheng's dark golden eyes also returned to normal. His gray-blue eyes were calm and indifferent.
"Last question."
He said, "Do you know what will happen to the remaining people after the Roland Empire is destroyed?"
Mary's face was pale, and her eyes flickered, but she did not speak.
"Seems like you know."
Si Sheng tilted his head and said indifferently, "Then there's nothing more to say."
"Puff —"
Without giving her any time to explain, the light bullet entered Mary's forehead. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, and then her pupils dilated.
She fell to the ground and died with her eyes wide open.
Xu Sili opened his mouth with difficulty, but he felt like something was stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak.
This was the first time … he saw someone die in front of him.
He could see the woman's unwilling expression before she died, he could see the sticky blood flowing from her body, and he could also see the strong smell of blood, which was blown by the wind …
She did not turn into light and disappear. She was not a pile of cold data, but a real person.
And now, she was dead.
Si Sheng looked back and saw the silver-haired youth's pale face. Even his lips were trembling, and he could faintly hear the chattering of his teeth.
Was he scared just like that?
Where was the courage to offend him just now?
Xu Sili felt a shadow covering him.
The man's tall figure blocked his line of sight, driving away the terrifying blood-red in front of him, and replacing it with a snow-white military uniform with golden threads.
Xu Sili pursed his lips and looked up at Si Sheng.
The man's light blonde hair was blown slightly by the wind, and his grayish-blue eyes were still cold, but strangely, he was not as afraid.
This guy had just killed someone in front of him.
Perhaps it was the light screen floating in the void that gave him the confidence to do so.
Xu Sili thought.
At this time, Si Sheng looked at him and slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.
That cold expression made Xu Sili suspect that in the next second, he would raise the laser gun to his forehead again.
However, what he was worried about did not happen.
Si Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at his feet. He said calmly, "Keep it first, I'll come back for it after I'm done with those small fries."
Xu Sili blinked.
In the next second, Si Sheng raised his hand. Xu Sili only saw a blur and thought that he was going to do something. His heart skipped a beat.
However, when he looked carefully, he saw that the Radiant 4000 was thrown at him.
He hurriedly caught it.
Perhaps it was because he had just been shot a few times, but the gun barrel was slightly hot, but it was not hot enough to burn him.
He looked up blankly, but the man had already turned and walked towards the door, leaving him with a cold back view.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked at him.
"Don't die."
Leaving this sentence without rhyme or reason, he lifted his foot and walked out of the palace.
Xu Sili was in a daze for a long time.
Huh? What does this mean?
He looked down at the laser gun in his hand. After firing a few shots, the values did not change much, only the durability decreased by 1 and the energy decreased by 5%.
So, Si Sheng left this gun for me to defend myself?
But didn't he want to kill me?
Xu Sili was very confused.
At this time, he inadvertently glanced at his feet.
Recalling the only two sentences Si Sheng said to him before he left, Xu Sili suddenly understood and couldn't help but curse.
This bastard!
Does he mean to tell me not to die and to keep my life for him to take?
The handsome young man's face was gloomy as he stared coldly at the laser gun in his hand. He was about to throw it away, but when he heard the guards rushing in, he held it tight and guarded in front of him.
He stared at the guards vigilantly.
They respectfully and fearfully bowed to him, begging for forgiveness, and without waiting for him to say anything, they ran to deal with Mary's body.
Looking at their expressions of fear and trepidation, they were probably frightened by Si Sheng, right? When he just returned, this group of people did not have such a big reaction.
Xu Sili curled his lips, but he did not relax. After being assassinated twice in a row, he was a little frightened.
In this strange world, the situation that Snow Roland, the new Emperor, was facing was too dangerous for him, and with his current strength, he was not invincible.
In fact …
Xu Sili silently read the skill panel in his mind, and another light screen popped out.
The only casting skill he knew, [Capture], was in cooldown. The cooldown time was …
29 days, 23 hours, 55 minutes.
It was a full month.
Xu Sili's expression turned serious, and he clenched the laser gun in his hand, then closed the skill panel.
He was not surprised by the cooldown time of this skill.
After all, it was really too powerful, ignoring the difference in level, and could easily turn people into his puppets.
But it was going to be troublesome, this meant that he did not have any skills to protect himself.
His gaze was fixed on the few guards.
[Respect] [Friendly] [Friendly] [Respect] …
Fortunately, he had the [Favorability] system, which at least allowed him to distinguish between friend and foe, so he would not be stabbed in the back.
But …
Snow Roland was the Emperor, not to mention worship and worship, why was he so friendly?
Even the guards around him were like this, no wonder the support of the people was so low, almost to the point of a rebellion.
Xu Sili was speechless, but he did not immediately do anything.
Without power, it was useless to say anything.
Soon, the guards took the dead Mary away, and asked the maids to change the carpet.
Janice had already arrived, and ordered the maids to clean up the mess.
She wanted to get closer to Xu Sili, but when she saw him holding the gun vigilantly, she stopped and just urged the maids to move.
After a while, the bedroom was cleaned up, and the air purifier was turned on. Then, perfume was sprayed, and the thick smell of blood was completely eliminated.
When everyone left, and only Janice was left, Xu Sili relaxed a little.
Janice came to the bedside, and looked at him with a pair of red eyes full of love.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Xu Sili was a little uncomfortable being looked at like this, especially when there was a "Mommy Fan" tag hanging above her head.
But in any case, it made him trust her a little.
"I'm fine." He said calmly.
Janice blamed herself, and when she thought of Mary's betrayal, she was shocked and angry.
"Your Majesty, this is my fault. I will thoroughly investigate the maids in the palace and give you an explanation!"
Xu Sili nodded, but he felt that Si Sheng was probably already doing it.
At this time, the head maid said, "Your Majesty … Do you need Janice to stay here tonight to accompany you?"
She said to accompany him, but in fact, it was to protect him. She was also worried that the young man would be too scared to sleep.
"… …"
Xu Sili saw through her thoughts at a glance.
He was a little helpless, he was a grown man, how could he be scared to sleep?
Thinking of this, the image of Mary's death suddenly flashed in front of his eyes … …
Well, it was indeed scary.
Xu Sili thought for a while, and said, "You can sleep next door."
The Roland Empire's palace was now empty, and there were many empty rooms. After all, he and Joan Roland were the only members of the royal family left.
After passing down the legacy for so many years, such an ending was quite pitiful to think about.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Janice replied respectfully, "Do you have any other orders?"
Xu Sili was about to shake his head, but he paused and said, "Get me a glass of milk."
"Yes, I will prepare it for you right away."
Not long after, Xu Sili was left alone in the bedroom again.
He held the hot glass of milk and felt his slightly cold palms gradually warming up. His gaze inadvertently swept to the window, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly moved his gaze away.
He was not the one who killed her!
Why was he so nervous and afraid?
Xu Sili took a deep breath, held the glass, and drank the milk in one gulp.
He smacked his lips and felt that the milk in this world tasted similar to the milk in the real world. With the addition of sugar, it was sweet and made his heart feel warm.
He slowly relaxed, put the glass of milk on the bedside table, and finally made up his mind. He pressed the option on the light screen.
[2. Retain consciousness. The puppet will maintain its original independent personality and will not be controlled. It has the right to disobey orders, but it cannot do anything that harms its master.]
He still could not get rid of Si Sheng's consciousness.
Therefore, seeing that he had saved his life by killing Mary, he decided to make up for it.
[Ding. Contract with the puppet [Si Sheng] succeeded.]
[Under the option of retaining consciousness, you will receive the following abilities.]
[1. The puppet will not be able to hurt you, and will cause a backlash if it attacks you (double the damage, increased critical hit rate).]
[2. You will be able to use the puppet's skills, and the magic cost will be doubled.]
[3. You can summon the puppet at any time, and once the puppet agrees, it will immediately teleport to your side.]
