Upon hearing the news about the drowning, Xu Shi immediately perked up.

It wasn't because he was particularly surprised; he had known all along that this would happen—whether it was dependence or cooperation, Shenhe would definitely seek a new backer.

His current strength is far from enough to cooperate with conglomerates, and he's not even qualified to be a dog anymore... A better option is those gangs in Sin City that were once as powerful as "Spark".

For example, figures like "Disge" and "Long Knife Gang"—in any case, "Dragon City" would definitely look down on them, so they can only choose to endure in such places.

But it seems like only a short time has passed, and things have actually started to improve again? You could say he's truly a protagonist; the young man has a bit of luck on him.

Okay, then have fun for two more days, and then I'll be going to push things a bit harder.

In fact, Xu Shi had long had the idea of ​​developing in Sin City. Since his father passed away, the connection between "Snake Ring" and Sin City had decreased significantly. At least he did not have a stable partner or a force he was secretly supporting at the moment.

Although at first glance it might not seem necessary—let alone a dimensional attack like Su Lin and Xia Wuyou, even a combat team could beat you to a pulp—there are some things that are not suitable for conglomerates to do themselves. In such cases, it is necessary to find a polite local gang to take the blame, cough, help.

For example, gathering intelligence and observing trends—it's not that Su Lin did a bad job, but her efficiency might not be as good as those know-it-alls who roam the streets of Sin City.

They can also react more promptly when encountering emergencies.

But which one is the safest bet...? We can forget about a powerful, conglomerate like "Dragon City," and the "Long Knife Gang" isn't exactly a saint either...

Xu Shi gently tapped the armrest of the chair, pondering the situation while also reviewing the current state of Chenhe.

Like himself, Shenhe is also a behind-the-scenes player, rarely taking the lead in his work, but relying on his various talents to accomplish tasks.

But who does he have now? Gu Yi and Xia Wuyou were already snatched away by him, and Luo Zhikang is currently in jail with him.

Lei Song is still alive, but he's half dead... What? Who's Chen Fang? I don't know him at all.

It can be said that Shenhe, who was a capable assistant in the early part of the story, has been dealt with by him.

But he wasn't without options—"Spark" had a decent hacker before Gu Yi. Although they later forced him to take over in order to replace Miss Black Rabbit, judging from the current situation, Shen He would probably hold onto him tightly.

And if I remember correctly, there was also an assassin in his team...

etc.

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

The hacker Xu Shi didn't care about anything; compared to Gu Yi, he was nothing... But this little assassin sister was quite interesting.

Lin Yue, a native of Sin City, is similar to Chen Fang; after being rescued by Shen He, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to his side.

He can be considered a veteran figure who has been with "Spark" since its inception.

Her ability to provide invisibility with "optical camouflage," coupled with her superb close-combat assassination skills, makes her a top assassin in the team, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

In the story, she and Xia Wuyou had a long period of discord, and those who know, know why... But in the end, they will definitely reconcile and become best friends.

However, this was not Xu Shi's focus, nor did he value the other party's abilities much—just a B+ level assassin, how could he compare to my reliable Su Lin?

The reason he found it strange was mainly because there was an irreconcilable hatred between Lin Yue and "Disge".

The Sixth District of Sin City is a notorious red-light district, mainly dealing in depraved flesh trade... especially in human trafficking and sex doll modification, their level of professionalism is so high that even the bosses of Night City have to give them a thumbs up.

As the controller of District Six, Zhang Shijun, the leader of "Disguise," made a fortune through these businesses, and as a result, committed many heinous crimes.

When they don't have enough "goods" on hand, they will even forcibly abduct people to perform sex puppet transformation.

Lin Yue's mother was one of the victims. She was kidnapped by "Disge" and died tragically at their hands... It's easy to imagine how deep her hatred for this gang was.

So, Shenhe, you should have just wiped them out according to the plot, why did you end up getting involved with them... Although he knew this was his only option at the moment, Xu Shi couldn't help but worry for him.

That must have really hurt that young girl's feelings, you bad man.

This will inevitably create a rift between Lin Yue and Shen He—even with the influence of "united will."

Although according to the basic law, the hatred of killing one's father may not be a big deal when facing the protagonist, this is based on the premise that his superpower can maintain a sufficiently stable influence.

The blows that "Spark" had suffered were absolutely insufficient to allow Shenhe to maintain its original prestige.

Under these circumstances, his choice was absolutely insufficient to convince the public—at least Xu Shi did not believe that Lin Yue could accept all of this.

What will happen next is going to be very interesting.

In severe cases, drowning in a river could lead to complications and adverse effects.

Speaking of which, the protagonist's treatment is indeed different from others. Shenhe's superpower complications are very special. Unlike others, they do not cause illness, but are related to his ability itself.

The greatest effect of "Unity is Strength" is to unite people's hearts, thereby giving him clearer thinking and stronger physical qualities.

Conversely, if those affected by the ability lose hope in him, this feedback will also disappear, and may even take away more.

That's how it was in the original story. When Shen He was besieged by Xie Qingyan, he briefly found himself in an even more deadly predicament than he is now.

At that time, many people chose to leave, which led to his abilities falling into an unprecedented low.

Well, Xu Shi sighed softly, "This can't be blamed on me."

You dug your own hole and jumped right in.

-----------------

Sin City, District Six.

Thinking back on recent events, Shen He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

God knows which damned person fired that shot at the crucial moment, causing the complete collapse of his cooperation with He Yuqiang.

The enemy's encirclement nearly cost him his life—if it weren't for the "beacon" left by his father, he probably would have been caught in the tracks and crushed into mincemeat.

Fortunately, he managed to escape in the end and led the remaining troops to join "Disgaea".

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

Since the battle with the "Serpent Ring" began, there has been no time for him to bide his time like before.

If a setback occurs, the most advantageous choice must be made as quickly as possible.

only……

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