Shen Chong was a smart person.
He even worked as an economics lecturer in a good university for a period of time. It was said that he was highly valued by the university and loved by the students.
Therefore, even if his IQ was not higher than a normal person, it would at least be above average.
At that time, Shen Chong had yet to join the Omnipotence, nor was he one of the Four Wild Seeds of Calamity. However, according to the company's investigation, he should have already mastered part of his' supernatural ability 'at that time, and had already become a conventional Inhuman.
Therefore, the company speculated that the reason why he became a university lecturer was either because he was looking for test subjects who trusted him in order to improve his ability called 'usury', or because … he was looking for young potential customers who were easily attracted to him.
Bai Shixue of the Lu family was one of the test subjects that Shen Chong was satisfied with. Or perhaps she was a good customer who had successfully accepted the 'Usury', but was not bewitched by his ability …
But not long after that.
Perhaps Shen Chong had perfected his ability, or perhaps he had confirmed the effects of his ability. In short, he quickly applied to resign from the university, and his' Usury 'ability began to emerge in the circle. In the end, because of the negative effects of his ability, he joined the Holistic Society.
The reason why Shen Chong's ability was called 'Usury', was no doubt because he had used his ability many times during that period of time, and because of the negative effects of his ability.
Moreover, the word 'Usury', used to describe Shen Chong's ability, couldn't be more appropriate.
Shen Chong's ability was very special, and its effect was indeed outstanding. He didn't even need to do anything. All he needed to do was sign a so-called contract with someone. He could rely on this person who had signed a contract to earn a steady stream of profits and increase his own strength.
But it was relative.
Although this ability had almost no risk to Shen Chong, but to those who had signed a contract with Shen Chong, this contract could easily make them fall into madness, because there was a situation where Shen Chong would continuously extract high interest from them.
Usury, as long as you don't lose your family fortune, as long as you don't lose your family, it wouldn't be called a 'Usury'.
In the eyes of normal people, Shen Chong's ability was undoubtedly an extremely sinister method of harming others for his own benefit. In addition, most of the mutants in the circle who were bewitched by him did not end up well in the end. Naturally, it gradually made people in the circle feel a deep hatred towards him.
In such a situation, if Shen Chong wanted to continue developing customers and use this ability to improve himself, what better choice did he have other than joining All-Around?
It was not difficult for Liu Xiaojiang to guess the reason why Shen Chong had joined the Holistic Association. It was because he felt some kind of so-called unfairness and was unwilling to cater to those who looked down on his ability and take the initiative to give up the powerful means that he had painstakingly researched and perfected.
Those who looked down on his ability would always find some high-sounding reasons to target him, but secretly, they were also jealous of him … Hypocritical to the extreme!
At that time, Shen Chong most likely had such thoughts, which was why he eventually chose to join the all-around …
Liu Xiaojiang had also discussed this matter with Shen Chong. Although Shen Chong did not give any clear answer at that time, considering that Shen Chong had gradually become more restrained in recent years, and his attitude of not wanting to go against the company, he felt that the possibility of this was indeed very high.
One wrong step, and every step would be wrong … This saying was not absolute.
After joining the all-around, Shen Chong might have used his ability many times to persecute a lot of mutants in the circle. But judging from his style of doing things, forcing others to sign a contract with him was most likely something that would not happen. At most, it would be bewitchment.
Moreover, the contract had to be at least 'in black and white' to be called a contract. All the consequences were clearly told to you, but you were still willing to sign such a contract that was not beneficial to you …
Liu Xiaojiang really did not have any sympathy for those mutants who were deceived by Shen Chong, chose to sign a contract with him, and eventually went to extremes.
After all, he had just asked Shen Chong a question not long ago. That was, would Shen Chong choose to sign a contract with a person who was in a very bad situation and had no choice but to accept a loan shark?
In the end.
Shen Chong unexpectedly said, "How boring would it be to sign a contract with a person who has no choice?"
And it was precisely because of this sentence.
Liu Xiaojiang decided to keep Shen Chong, who was like Xia He, who had to join the all-around because of his own ability, but was more inclined to be an all-around sorcerer when it came to doing things …
Because …
Although Shen Chong was guilty, he did not deserve to die.
Moreover, he was a smart person who knew how to turn back in time and had the ability to do things for him …

At night.
Around nine o 'clock.
Shen Chong appeared on the street in front of the World Society headquarters on time. He was still wearing his shirt and trousers that looked like a company employee's. He did not use the all-around poison painting ability to disguise himself.
He stood on the street with his mobile phone and opened his contact list to find Liu Xiaojiang's number. However, he only stared at it for a long time in relative silence and did not actually call Liu Xiaojiang's number.
"An all-around sorcerer …" Xia He crossed her arms and leaned against the bus stop. When she saw Shen Chong's hesitant look, she could not help but remind him slowly.
"You're contacting the World Society so openly and even want to meet the president of the World Society. And it's at a time when the all-around sorcerer has just caused a ruckus at the Tang Sect …"
"Are you trying to say that it's dangerous for me to go alone?" Shen Chong put away his mobile phone and turned to look at Xia He in front of the bus stop.
"Then why don't you come with me?"
"… Uh." When Xia He heard this, she immediately looked away from Shen Chong and said, "Forget it. This is the headquarters of the World Society. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. The outcome won't change much because of me."
"So …" Shen Chong chuckled and pushed his glasses up his nose bridge. "Other than coming to help me, you're also here to see if you can collect my corpse, right?"
"After all, we're friends …" Xia He smiled and spread her hands, but she had already put on the special gloves that would only appear in front of others when she was ready to fight.
"… Then I really have to thank you," Shen Chong said.
"Haha …" When Xia He saw Shen Chong's deflated expression, she couldn't help but look in the direction of the World Society's headquarters and nod slightly.
"Alright, it's about time. Fengxingtong and Wang Hei happen to be here as well. You'd better hurry over and test the waters. There's no need to make such a big decision now. Didn't the sect leader say that he would choose to step in when necessary …"
"Besides, judging from the time, the plane from Sichuan should have arrived a long time ago. The sect leader might be watching you from there. He's trying to test a wavering, smart person like you … isn't that right?"
"… Tsk, I'm so envious. If only I were the sect leader's senior sister-in-law," Shen Chong couldn't help but pout. When he saw Xia He turn around and leave, he couldn't help but say,
"Hey! Xia He! Where are you going?! "
"Scram! I don't care if you die or not! If you die, you deserve it! "Xia He said without looking back.
"…" Shen Chong.
