Odd Containment Specialist

Xia Shou stared at the body of the orphanage teacher in shock, with a look of self-doubt on his face.

No, according to the conclusion of his reasoning, it shouldn't be like this!

Xia Shou tried to recall the process of his reasoning, but found that he couldn't remember it. He only remembered that he came to the conclusion after Jiang Wengao told him some secrets, but he forgot these secrets now.

Now, he only remembered the conclusion, but forgot the reasoning process.

It seems that he has to find a chance to talk to Xiao Gao again later.

Xia Shou glanced at the ground a few times, and finally saw the long board wrapped in checkered cloth at the door of the office.

"What is that?" Jiang Wengao walked to the door, picked up the long board, and was about to untie the rope on it.

"Don't move!" Xia Shou suddenly shouted.

Xia Shou took the board from the other party and said seriously: "If nothing unexpected happens, I guess it should be a painting by Naganuma Juzaburo."

"Then take a picture and see. Naganuma Juzaburo's painting can only affect the direct observer." Shangguan Yan said, "Let Xiao Li send it to the research department and explain it to them. We will continue the meeting just now."

Li Ming wiped the blood on his face, took the painting and stepped over the corpse, and rushed to the research department.

The meeting continued, but the next process was to talk alone. The number of people who knew the content was constant, and the information could only be told to the most suitable person.

Shangguan Yan walked into the minister's office and called people in one by one, starting with Mo Ying, to talk. Xia Shou was the second person.

As soon as Xia Shou entered the office and closed the door, Shangguan Yan asked: "Xiao Xia, I have an unwelcome request, I hope you can agree to it."

"What?" Xia Shou looked surprised.

He stared at Shangguan Yan's face in surprise. The other party's expression was still the same as usual, smiling, mysterious, elegant, and calm.

Xia Shou even felt that he had hallucinations just now.

"Of course, you can make any conditions you want, and I will try my best to meet you. I can say directly that this transaction is a very rare opportunity for you. If you miss it, it will be difficult to have it again next time.

Do you remember when you just joined the department?

When you filled out the application for the first time, you didn't want to join my department. I said the same thing at that time as now. It doesn't matter if you don't want to now, but if you change your mind in the future, the price will be different.

You lost money last time. It was hard to work overtime during that period, right? But the price increase was actually very small, but it's different this time, so you have to think seriously."

Sure enough, it's a transaction.

I knew that the minister would never say such a thing as an unwelcome request. In the eyes of this woman, an unwelcome request just gave you the decision of whether to trade, but that was actually just an illusion.

That was the case when he joined the department. Now think about it, it's a complete loss.

However, you still have to be careful when doing business with the minister. This woman is not just cunning and treacherous.

To be honest, Xia Shou has very complicated feelings about Shangguan Yan. When he just joined the department, he actually hated her very much during that period.

The exploitative means of treating people like dogs, the threats both overt and covert, made him feel insecure, as if he had a noose around his neck, but was ordered by the other party to do acrobatics on a ball.

On the one hand, the risk to his own safety was completely caused by the other party, and on the other hand, he had to obey the other party's orders.

If there was no other way, he would have gotten rid of the other party long ago.

But as time went by, he gradually discovered the benefits. Now he knows that there are some things that no one can help him settle except Shangguan Yan.

Xia Shou even got used to it slowly. Although he knew in his heart that this idea was very strange, he did have this idea, that is, as long as he was obedient, he would be safe, and he would also get many benefits and be protected by power.

This idea is very dangerous, but everything that has happened so far has reinforced this conclusion.

To be honest... it's really hard to resist.

He really started to get used to listening to the other party's orders, and he knew very well that in addition to the "passive" point that made him disgusted, at critical moments, the minister's orders almost never conflicted with his goals.

This feeling is like there is a high and mighty person in power, who keeps ordering you in an annoying tone, "eat well", "rest well", "be careful, and take my bodyguard with you when you go out".

Such a request is really hard to resist.

Xia Shou sat down carefully, looked away, and said softly: "Minister, you say."

"I want your seven-branch fragment." Shangguan Yan said this in a calm tone.

Her eyes were calm, but her heart was extremely nervous.

In fact, she didn't need Xia Shou's seven-branch fragment at all, because she planned to plunder other people's seven-branch fragments in this incident to complete the transaction with the thirsty goat.

But this was the original plan, and the plan could not keep up with the changes.

The degree of urban riots and the time when the reflection world was launched were different from what she expected. Now she is not even sure how many fragment owners on the hunting list are still active in the city.

If those fragment owners are cowards and hide in their cocoons because of the ultimatum of the Control Bureau, then she has no chance at all.

She didn't want to be forced to ascend. It took her so many years to find him. How could she become a non-human being?

Shangguan Yan could feel that Xia Shou had become more and more trusting of her recently.

This made her very happy, but also full of worries.

The new contract she made with Yangtou only listed Xia Shou as an exception, but it was still valid for everyone else.

The second of the three taboos is not only related to the object of help, but also related to other people.

[Don’t let others regard your behavior as kind help without asking for anything in return. 】

If in the future, others regard her care for Xia Shou as kindness without asking for anything in return, punishment will still be triggered, which is also extremely troublesome.

Even if she succeeded in making Xia Shou an exception this time, she still had to show absolute high-pressure in front of others to maintain her character as a witch.

Shangguan Yan felt that if things continued like this, sooner or later someone would think that he looked at Xia Shou differently, especially when Xia Shou was so cooperative.

After all, one person abuses another person, and if the abused person resists, outsiders will think it is bullying.

But if the abused suffers silently, or even obeys what is told, then some people will mistakenly think it is SM.

This possibility cannot but be considered.

At least be careful before killing the thirsty goat for good.

"Of course, after killing the writer, I don't need it now, so you still have a long time to think about it."

Shangguanyan said, stood up and left his seat.

She walked around the desk, walked to Xia Shou, put her hand on Xia Shou's shoulder, and asked with a chuckle: "Is the equipment box I buried at home good for use?"
