Chapter 276 Your caution is your shackles

Yu Xunge countered, "How do you know his remains can evolve divinely bestowed talents? Can they evolve all players' talents, or only mine?"

Liang Pozhou said, "It can only evolve your divinely bestowed talent. I also learned this information through a certain item."

Yu Xunge: "What prop?"

Liang Pozhou laughed: "No need to play dumb. Since you were able to find this place, you must have received its help."

Yu Xunge couldn't help but take another step back. She asked, "Besides not seeking revenge against the Liang family, what other demands do you have?"

Liang Pozhou said, "After you've used up the sea monster's remains, bring them to me. I want to use them to revive."

One flaw after another was proactively patched up by Liang Pozhou.

If Liang Pozhou dared to say that the ability of Miyas's remains to evolve into divinely bestowed talents was a research result he obtained from the research institute, she would be suspicious. If it could upgrade talents, why not leave such a good thing to his descendants? Even if the Liang family's descendants did not awaken divinely bestowed talents at that time, they could still keep it as a collection.

If Liang Pozhou's second request wasn't to resurrect her, she would suspect his motives. How could a truly despicable person who profited from sea monsters and then sold them to pharmaceutical companies be so selfless, petrifying at the bottom of the sea for so many years just to help his descendants and enemies reconcile?

He was so open and honest that every piece of information he provided was convincing.

Yu Xunge asked, "How do we trade?"

Liang Pozhou replied, "In the cabinet at your three o'clock position, there is an old tooth that a siren cub shed. You can use it to swear an oath that from this moment on you will no longer harm the Liang family. I will tell you the location of the siren's remains and how to use them to evolve your divinely bestowed talent. When you bring me Miyas's remains, I will give you dragon scales. Of course, I will also swear an oath."

Yu Xunge resolutely refused: "I can stop taking action against her and the Liang family because of my grudge with Liang Yuchuan, but if the Liang family takes the initiative to attack me, I cannot sit idly by and wait to die. Moreover, even if the grudges are settled, I will never allow Liang Yuchuan's blind eye to heal."

Liang Pozhou: "I know her problem isn't with her eyes. Fine, I can use my abilities to solidify her current state. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack the Liang family again, I can curse her so that her current disability cannot be cured by any treatment."

Yu Xunge fell into a long silence, her heart sinking uncontrollably.

He actually discovered his own test and knew that Liang Yuchuan's injury was not to his eyes. Was he really omniscient?

Moreover, Liang Pozhou's scheming and greed, his mental journey after betrayal, the perfectly timed "truth" in his words, and his progressive reactions during their conversations are all flawless, revealing the shrewdness and composure befitting an old man who has endured a life of hardship and forbearance and then risen rapidly in a short period of time.

The story even indirectly connects to the inscription on the statue, "A choice without regret, a life betrayed." In Liang Pozhou's words, isn't it the siren who betrayed him? He also has no regrets about betraying the siren.

He had motives and purposes; he wanted to cooperate with Yu Xunge, both for the sake of his descendants and for himself.

Everything, everything was just right!

Even the malicious detector didn't get a shock.

Almost every idea of ​​Yu Xunge's was perfectly aligned with his.

Every word he said made Yu Xunge feel that "it should be this way".

But it was precisely this perfection that alarmed her. There are no people in the world whose thoughts are completely in sync, and naturally, there are no people whose every statement can perfectly avoid the other party's suspicion.

Just like some people believe in the idea that human nature is inherently good, but Yu Xunge believes that human nature is generally selfish. The only difference is that some people disdain to pretend, while others prefer to hide it deep in their hearts. Therefore, she believes the words of true villains more.

Tu Lan, who hadn't dared to breathe loudly, quietly asked Yu Xunge in her heart, "Isn't there a problem? Wasn't it your enemy's hands and feet that were the problem?"

Yu Xunge replied, "It's hard to say."

She decided to leave first; since she sensed something was wrong, why should she make a decision so quickly?

However, as soon as she took a step back, a clock appeared above Liang Pozhou's head, counting down for a long time, a full three minutes.

Yu Xunge: ...

You were already arguing with me about who I was, and now you've added a time limit! And to make matters worse, you even have a time-limited effect.

Liang Pozhou sighed, "I have been asleep for 73 years just to wait for you. I don't have much time left to wake up. Once I fall into a deep sleep, I will have to pay a price to wake up again. If I can't be resurrected then, I will have to sleep for a hundred years."

Yu Xunge turned around and wanted to leave.

"Isn't that enough?!"

"Such a fair trade, divinely bestowed talent for evolution, and the Dragon Ancestor's reverse scale—can't even tempt you?"

"Is the feud between you and the Liang family truly unsolvable? You've already taken your revenge, haven't you?"

"The Mind Catcher's answer is that Miyas's remains can resolve your grudges with the Liang family and allow your divinely bestowed talent to evolve. What are you wary of? What are you hesitating about?"

"The path to heaven is right before your eyes, the opportunity to evolve your divinely bestowed talent is right before your eyes, yet you hesitate, retreat, and doubt everything. You magnify any flaw, and even the absence of a flaw is a flaw in your eyes..."

"You think your actions right now are cautious? Rational? Calm? No! It's just cowardice!!"

"You think you're weighing gains and losses, but sooner or later, those few seconds you spend weighing gains and losses will be enough to make you lose everything!"

"You're afraid of oversights, afraid of risks, afraid of failure! Your caution is your shackle!"

"Do you think those truly strong people grow up hiding in the gutter? No, it's through bloodshed, fearlessness, and destroying everything in their way, not by being meticulously prepared and taking action only when there's no risk involved."

Yu Xunge stood quietly in the corner, listening to Liang Pozhou's last words. Her eyes were lowered, and there were emotions in them that others could not understand. In the dim light, in the deep sea, and in the transparent water shield, her face was blurred.

Liang Pozhou spoke fiercely, as if Yu Xunge had done something heinous.

Three minutes will eventually come to an end.

Finally, Liang Pozhou angrily rebuked, "Even this can't make you believe me?! Do you have no heart at all?!"

Immediately afterwards, time reset to zero, the clock disappeared, and the cabin returned to darkness.

Yu Xunge looked at the crystal coffin again and used her detection skill on it, but she could no longer detect any information.

Tu Lan had been holding her breath since Liang Pozhou started outputting his message. Yu Xunge's emotions were so heavy that she didn't dare to move. Only when she sensed that Yu Xunge had relaxed did she cautiously ask in Yu Xunge's ear, "What should we do?"

Yu Xunge said, "I have one... no, two guesses that need to be confirmed."
