Guan Nianshan's back was covered in sweat.

He didn't hand over many green crystal cores to the country, but now Shi Yin knows that he has handed over quite a few green crystal cores, and even some yellow crystal cores. It's obvious without even thinking that he didn't obtain them through legitimate channels.

Even if it was money he obtained through legitimate business, it was still illegal hoarding!

This lie is impossible to fabricate.

"Haha, it's only right to contribute to the country." Guan Nianshan composed himself, then changed the subject: "Sister Yin, don't you find it strange that you haven't seen Gu Changge for so long? I heard some news..."

"She's dead," Shi Yin replied calmly.

Guan Nianshan glanced at Nan Zhu. The smile on Nan Zhu's face had completely disappeared, and he was even a little pale, just like Guan Nianshan.

"Haha... Sister Yin, don't joke around. Even I'm not sure about this news." Guan Nianshan almost couldn't stop laughing. "Gu Changge is a top-tier expert after all. It's just that he's been silent for so long..."

“You can’t fight back against arrogance. Just like, apart from arrogance, any random person from the New World would be powerless against me.” Shi Yin leaned back in her chair, crossed her hands, and raised her chin.

It seems to be saying: Is there anything else you want to say? Go on.

"Sister Yin, how did you know?" Guan Nianshan was really puzzled. If Shi Yin had this information network, why would she need him to come? To play the clown?

"People are always forgetful. Ever since you found out I'm the Greed of the New World, and my ability is 'Want,' you've even forgotten what my original profession was?" Shi Yin sneered. "Do you remember what I told you before?"

The first superpower they mentioned was memory.

Besides time and space, isn't there memory that is longer and more eternal than the world? Perhaps memory is as long as time.

What has existed is a trace of memory.

Without matching strength, can one be qualified to call their ability memory?

Guan Nianshan was speechless, or rather, neither he nor Nan Zhu dared to speak. They just wanted to know how much Shi Yin knew and what she didn't know.

Guan Nianshan regretted coming to find Shi Yin. Shi Yin was his nemesis. Ever since Shi Yin first came to find him, he had been having a run of bad luck.

“It’s not impossible for you to take her place, but it will be very difficult.” Shi Yin looked at Guan Nianshan, who was sweating profusely, and changed the subject instead of provoking him further.

"Just tell me what you need and I'll do it!" Guan Nianshan snapped back to reality.

If Guan Nianshan didn't not know how much Shi Yin knew, and was afraid that revealing it would ruin everything, he would have said he would be happy to be a double agent.

Guan Nianshan felt wronged. He hadn't done anything to Shi Yin. Either arrogance or Shi Yin could easily crush him. He had no choice but to endure hardship, be opportunistic, and adapt to changing circumstances.

It's just about hiring online trolls, stirring up public opinion, and posting things online. Anyway, Shi Yin doesn't care about that. He didn't really do anything if you really put his mind to it.

Guan Nianshan really felt unlucky. Before the apocalypse, he helped the country with its criminal activities but didn't get any favors from the government. After the apocalypse, he helped Shi Yin with her criminal activities but still didn't get any favors from her.

"Why are you so agitated? I don't recommend you go and take your sister's place." Shi Yin looked at Guan Nianshan and jumped up abruptly, her expression a little strange.

"Shi Yin! That's my last remaining family member!" Guan Nianshan gritted his teeth. "She's the only one I have left!"

"I know, but she's not going to die." Shi Yin smiled a little strangely: "It's just letting her out for a quick look. At most, she'll be in a vegetative state for a few years. She'll wake up when she does. Why are you so excited?"

Guan Nianshan: "You won't die?"

Shi Yin: "Mm."

Guan Nianshan: "Then what am I here for?"

Shi Yin: "Ask me."

Guan Nianshan: "..."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Guan Nianshan was speechless.

Seeing Shi Yin's ambiguous smile, Guan Nianshan finally realized that he had been tricked again. No matter how hard Shi Yin wanted to hide the military map, it would never fall into his hands.

Even the commander-in-chief was unaware of the plan for security zone B this time.

“Okay, I’ll allow you to look after your sister. It would be bad if something happened to her.” Shi Yin took out a prepared form from the drawer: “Fill this out, and I’ll sign it so you won’t be unable to find me later.”

Anyone who wants to stay near an important person, especially a superhuman under house arrest, must have Shi Yin's approval and signature.

Shi Yin was often away, and when she was gone, it would be for a long time. So, we just called Guan Nianshan over and took care of it.

"You could have just called me directly, why scare me like that?" Guan Nianshan was speechless; he had almost knelt down just now.

"Look at your conscience. Anyone who cares about their family has a conscience and a brain, right?" Shi Yin tapped the table lightly. "However, your sister will be in a vegetative state for at least five years. You should be prepared."

"What kind of superpower does she have?" Guan Nianshan didn't quite understand. "She's always avoiding me and doesn't dare to get close to me. I can only catch a glimpse of her from afar each time."

"Of course she has to avoid you. Her superpower is eternal slumber." Shi Yin said in a calm tone, "As long as you make eye contact with her, you will fall into a deep sleep. It's an indiscriminate, hard control. You can't be awakened unless you experience pain like breaking twelve ribs."

It's hard for people to avoid eye contact when interacting with each other. Even a fleeting, unintentional glance can cause someone to collapse and lose consciousness.

Furthermore, it's completely uncontrollable.

“Your sister has many congenital diseases, including autism, narcolepsy, and depression. After becoming a superhuman, she successfully converted these energies into superpowers,” Shi Yin explained. “However, because she was autistic for so long, it was difficult for her to live a normal life after she recovered. Doctors tried to guide her for a long time, but she still couldn’t speak.”

"Well, I should be able to go and take a look," Guan Nianshan said, somewhat unwilling.

“You have too much of a New World aura about you, while your sister is a pure remnant of the Old World.” Shi Yin shook her head: “She is afraid of you and afraid of hurting you, so of course she doesn’t want you to get close.”

"It's alright, it's alright, as long as she's alright." Hearing his sister say this, Guan Nianshan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Then, what about Changning? Is she... considered to have sacrificed herself?"

Tokine: "..."

“Theoretically, no.” Shi Yin remained silent for a long time: “She didn’t die directly, but…”

Shi Yin took out a photo.

There, Changning lay with her eyes closed, her body almost merging with the maple tree trunk. Vines covered in maple leaves wrapped around her, as if embracing her. Changning lay there quietly with her eyes closed, as if asleep.

“If nothing unexpected happens, it will wake up after the apocalypse.” Shi Yin took a deep breath: “But if Arrogance uses perhaps powerful forces, and the plant’s growth rate exceeds Chang Ning’s [consumption] rate for too long, then Chang Ning will most likely be overwhelmed.”

"So, as long as it's resolved quickly enough," Guan Nianshan murmured, "Shi Yin, how confident are you in defeating arrogance?"

"Half and half," Shi Yin thought for a moment.

"So low!?" Guan Nianshan exclaimed in surprise.

“How do I explain this? Perhaps you can understand it as this world having a core.” Shi Yin gestured, “And arrogance, or rather the new world, obtained a small fragment of this world.”

"Although it's only a small piece, the bad thing is that whoever gets this fragment will become proportionally stronger as the world becomes stronger."

"In other words, the more powerful I become, the more powerful the arrogant leader who obtained the world fragment will become."

"This is why Arrogance doesn't care about the others in the New World. Besides having enough zombie virus reagents, it's because as long as she's there, no one can defeat her. She's always on par with the strongest."
