It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Although it doesn't seem necessary at first glance, let alone the dimensionality reduction attack of Su Lin and Xia Wuyou, the combat team can beat you to death...but some things are not suitable for the consortium to do personally, at this time you need to find a polite local gang to take on the responsibility, cough, help.

For example, collecting intelligence and observing trends. It’s not that Su Lin didn’t do well, but her efficiency might not be as good as those know-it-alls who roamed the streets of Sin City.

When encountering emergencies, we can also respond more promptly.

But who should I choose safely?

Xu Shi tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and while thinking, he also sorted out Shen He's current situation.

Like himself, Shen He is also a behind-the-scenes player. He basically does not do things personally, but relies on various talents under his command to complete the tasks.

But who does he have now? Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou were already snatched away by him, and Luo Zhikang is also imprisoned here.

Lei Song is still here, but he's also lost half his life... What? Who is Chen Fang? I don't know him well.

It can be said that most of Shen He's right-hand man in the early part of the plot has been dealt with by him.

But he is not without someone to use - "Xinghuo" had a good hacker before Gu Yi. Although he was forced to arrange boxed lunches in order to let Miss Black Rabbit take over, judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Shen He will hold on to him tightly and not let go.

And if I remember correctly, there should be an assassin in his team...

and many more.

Recalling this incident, Xu Shi's expression suddenly became a little strange.

Xu Shi didn't care what the hacker was like, he was nothing compared to Gu Yi...but this assassin girl was very interesting.

Lin Yue, a native of Sin City, is similar to Chen Fang. After being rescued by Shen He, they both follow each other wholeheartedly.

He can be considered a veteran figure who has existed since the establishment of Spark.

Her ability is "optical camouflage" which can provide invisibility, coupled with superb melee assassination skills, making her the top assassin in the team who can come and go without a trace.

In the plot, she and Xia Wuyou had been at odds for a long time. Everyone knows why... But the final result is definitely that the grudges are resolved and the rivals become good friends or something.

However, this was not the focus of Xu Shi's attention. He did not think much of the other party's ability - just a B+ level assassin. How could he compare to my reliable Su Lin?

The reason why he felt strange was mainly because there was an irreconcilable hatred between Lin Yue and "Disger".

District 6 of Sin City is a well-known red-light district, and its main business is the decadent flesh trade... Especially in the areas of human trafficking and sex doll transformation, its professionalism is something that makes the bosses of Night City give it a thumbs up.

As

When they don’t have enough “goods” on hand, they will even forcibly capture people for sex doll transformation.

Lin Yue's mother was one of the victims. She was abducted by the "Disgers" and died tragically at their hands in the end... It is conceivable how deep her hatred for this gang was.

So, Shen He, you should have killed them according to the plot, why are you still relying on them... Although he knew that this was his only choice at the moment, Xu Shi still couldn't help but worry about him.

This must have hurt the little girl's heart, you bad man.

As a result, a rift is bound to appear between Lin Yue and Shen He - even with the influence of "unity".

Although according to the basic law, the revenge for the murder of his father may not be a big deal when facing the protagonist, this also requires that his supernatural powers can still maintain a sufficiently stable influence.

The blow that "Xinghuo" had suffered before was definitely not enough for Shen He to maintain his original prestige.

Under such circumstances, his choice would definitely not be enough to convince everyone - at least Xu Shi didn't think Lin Yue could accept all this.

So what happens next will probably be very interesting.

If the situation is serious, Shen He might suffer from complications.

Speaking of which, the protagonist's treatment is indeed different from that of others. Shen He's supernatural complications are very special. They do not cause symptoms like those of other people, but are related to his ability itself.

The greatest effect of "United We Stand" is to gather people's hearts, thereby giving them clearer thinking and stronger physical qualities.

On the other hand, if the people affected by his ability lose hope in him, this feedback will disappear as well, or even more will be taken away.

This is what happened in the original novel. When Shen He encountered Xie Qingyan's siege, he was briefly in a desperate situation that was even more deadly than the current one.

At that time, many people chose to leave, which caused his abilities to fall to an unprecedented low.

Well, Xu Shi sighed lightly, this can’t be blamed on my buddy.

You dug the hole for yourself and jumped into it.

-

Sin City, District 6.

Thinking back to what had happened recently, Shen He couldn't help but feel a headache.

God knows which bastard fired that shot at the critical moment, causing the complete collapse of the cooperation between him and He Yuqiang.

The enemy's encirclement and suppression almost cost him his life - if it weren't for the "beacon" left by his father, he would have been caught in the tracks and crushed into a pulp.

Fortunately, he finally escaped and led the remaining troops to join "Disger".

Although he was very reluctant to do so, he had no choice.

Ever since the battle with the "Snake Ring" began, he no longer had time to bide his time like before.

Once a failure occurs, you must make the most advantageous choice as quickly as possible.

only……

"Chief Shen, please forgive Lin Yue for overstepping her bounds, but I really cannot understand your behavior."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 55: The innocent girl and her unknown fate

The girl in a tight suit and a mask stood behind Shen He, her voice trembling a little, filled with confusion and indignation that she tried hard to suppress.

As for Lin Yue's question, Shen He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

“…Lin Yue, this is only temporary.”

After a moment of silence, he sighed helplessly, "The Spark must survive so that our wishes can be realized... I don't want to rely on Disig, but this is the only way."

This is truly what he really thinks.

Everyone knew how notorious "Disger" was in Sin City. This was completely contrary to his previous practices, and most of the reputation he had accumulated over the years was destroyed.

Logically speaking, the reputation of the "Long Knife Party" might be slightly better... but it is not realistic to join them.

Not to mention the various minor frictions in the past, the most important thing is that the "Long Knife Party" holds the Seventh District in its hands.

The previous incident at the Birch Plains created a deep grudge between the two parties, and the attitude of the people in District 7 towards "Starfire" was such that they wanted to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin.

Ding Jun, the leader of the "Long Knife Gang", even issued a hunting order and offered a reward for Shen He's head... With his current strength, he is completely unable to reconcile such a contradiction.

Not to mention "Dragon City". As the behind-the-scenes overlord of Sin City, they simply look down on their small number of people.

In this situation, he had no choice but to choose "Disger".

Zhang Shijun was very happy to accept this former rival. He not only gave him jurisdiction over several blocks, but also provided him with a lot of weapons assistance.

It can be considered as a temporary recovery for him.

"But you should know that between me and Disig..."

Lin Yue bit her lip and said painfully.

For her, let alone seeking refuge, just standing on the land of District 6 made her feel nauseous and suffocated.

"I understand. I understand everything."

Shen He tried to calm her down, "So I also said, this is just a temporary solution."

"We have too many things to do. Let's not talk about the distant things. Lei Song's injury needs treatment, and Mr. Luo's life or death is uncertain... You should understand that it is difficult to solve all of this with only the remaining manpower we have."

"So I can only use Zhang Shijun as a springboard... To be honest, I feel bad too."

"I promise you, when the time is right, I will find a way to change not only Spark, but also the status quo of District 6."

He looked at Lin Yue sincerely, "As for now... please bear with it for a while, and I will bear the blame."

To be honest, no one in the organization opposed his decision.

Lei Song and Zhang Shinian were both loyal, and the others didn't care - some even thought this was better than before, at least in District 6 there were no rules to follow and there were fewer restrictions on what they did.

Only Lin Yue would never agree to such a thing.

So, even after Shen He gave her assurance, she still shook her head firmly after hesitating for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Chief Shen, I understand what you mean, but please forgive Lin Yue... for not being able to accept it."

As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Shen He, and before the other party could react, she resolutely took out the dagger from her waist and cut off the little finger of her left hand without hesitation!

"Lin Yue is very grateful that you saved me, but I really can't stay here... At least before "Xinghuo" is separated from "Disger", I want to leave for a while."

"Please don't worry, I will try to accomplish what you want in my own way."

After saying that, the girl endured the severe pain, turned around and walked out.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground that had not yet dried, Shen He was speechless for a moment.

At the same time, the severe pain from his heart made him breathless for a while, and blood oozed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.

"Uh!"

"Old Shen?"

Seeing this, the hooded man hiding in the shadows quickly put down his beer and walked over to inquire.

"…It's okay. I'm fine."

Shen He swallowed the blood in his mouth forcefully, gritted his teeth and waved his hand, "Don't worry, let her go."

He knew that this was the backlash of the failure of "United We Stand", and it also meant that Lin Yue would part ways with him completely from now on.

Even if there is still a possibility of reconciliation, this crack will be difficult to restore to its original state.

"……Ugh."

The hooded man, Zhang Shinian, the current hacker leader in "Spark", didn't know what to say when he saw this. He just sighed and said, "So what are you going to do next?"

"I... let her go. I am sorry for her in this matter."

Shen He closed his eyes to hide his displeasure. "Let's try to speed up our actions, recruit more personnel, accumulate strength... and strive to take down Disiger as soon as possible."

This displeasure was not only directed at Lin Yue, but also at the culprit who had caused him to be in his current dilemma.

Xu Shi... Xu Shi!

Shen He clenched his fists tightly.

-

The words are divided into two parts.

After simply bandaging the wound, Lin Yue left District 6, feeling a little confused.

Although she made the choice resolutely, it did not mean that she did not feel pain in her heart.

Because she understood Shen He's difficulties, but she couldn't accept the hatred between him and "Disger".

To be honest, the girl actually realized that after these years of getting along with Shen He, her savior, her gratitude was no longer just simple, but also had a vague feeling of excitement.

This also made her even more disappointed in Shen He. He took everything into consideration, but ignored her own feelings.

How could a mother being tortured to death as a sex doll be just a matter of "enduring a little injustice"?

Thinking of this, she felt a little complicated, and wanted to fulfill her promise more urgently.

Use your own way to complete the unfinished work of "Spark".

The reason why she joined "Xinghuo" can be said to be very pure - some members joined out of admiration for Shen He, some were chasing money and fame, and more were simply seeking shelter.

For Lin Yue, her only purpose is to repay her gratitude, and she is willing to accompany Shen He to realize his ideal.

Although she had not been involved before, she also knew the crux of all this.

Snake Ring?

So, if we can directly solve that Xu Shi problem, will all problems be solved?

This unrealistic idea gradually emerged in the girl's mind.

To be honest, this kind of thing is difficult to achieve, at least for her who is alone and weak, it is nothing but a foolish dream.

But after thinking for a moment, Lin Yue made up his mind, pulled up his mask, and then walked towards Night City.
