Can't breathe?
Ishtar was stunned for a moment. When she looked down, she saw that Shi Yin's face was buried in her chest. Shi Yin's left hand was a mechanical arm and she couldn't use it at all. Her right hand was also pressed down and she couldn't lift it up at all.
"Ahem! Anyway, sometimes you have to listen to me." Ishtar quickly stood up and stood confidently in front of Shiyin: "You're always like this, making us come pick you up whenever something happens. What if we're not here?"
"No, it's a necessary step." Shi Yin said with a hint of helplessness, "Isn't this always the case?"
"That's why I said you never listen, Shi Yin." Ishtar pinched Shi Yin's cheek: "So, how do you plan to write this script next?"
“The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. Now is not the time for us to write our script.” Helmod leaned against the door and spoke up at the right moment: “In this life, the mastermind behind the scenes is far too aggressive, disrupting our plans all at once.”
“It should be the older sister who is more radical.” Freya poked her head out from the doorway: “The older sister probably already guessed that the Black Bat Prison had been temporarily converted into a branch, so she chose to confront them head-on.”
The room fell silent for a moment. Tyr, who hadn't had time to leave, and Ishtar, who was by the bed, both looked at Freya.
Helmod gave her a meaningful look, then sighed, looking somewhat regretful.
"Hey, wait a minute, why does this little girl look so familiar? Isn't she your apprentice?" Tyr was the first to recognize her, giving Freya a strange look, then looking at Helmod behind him, repeatedly confirming that he wasn't mistaken.
"The owner of the Genius System No. 1? No wonder you looked so familiar." Ishtar frowned. "But I didn't sense the system's presence."
The system is also a type of superpower. The scent of this kind of cheat code, the system, is completely different from the scent of ordinary superpowered individuals.
Otherwise, Ishtar wouldn't have failed to recognize Freya from the start.
“She handed over the God of Learning System,” Shi Yin explained. “She used the superpower she gained in this life.”
The expressions on their faces immediately turned strange. In their minds, the system was something that surpassed almost all superpowers.
After all, the system comes with its own shop, and some systems even have a lottery system. As long as you have enough points, you can get multiple superpowers, which are much more valuable than the one superpower you have on your own.
Unless the superpower one acquires is a powerful superpower at the conceptual level, it's a huge loss.
Freya, on the other hand, was all smiles, her expression unchanged, showing no sign of regret whatsoever.
"Simply put, it's the butterfly effect. She wasn't affected by the disaster, nor was she saved by me, so she didn't want to come with me." Helmod shrugged. "After being saved by Shiyin, she followed Shiyin."
"Oh." Ishtar understood.
“You’ve lost out big time,” Tyr commented.
Helmod: "..."
Who can argue with that?
"Tell me your judgment," Shi Yin interrupted their conversation.
“Actually, if it’s just about saving a bear, you don’t need to get involved, right? Even if you were to do it yourself, bringing the Major General along isn’t a good choice. The Major General… I know this might sound offensive, but he is indeed getting old.” Freya carefully chose her words.
"I overheard my sister's conversation with others from afar. The gist of it was that there were many unfinished products here. Actually, it was because my sister arrived too quickly that those unfinished products were forced to appear ahead of schedule, right?"
"Perhaps they know that Black Bat Prison may have been our territory in a past life? And we will let our guard down against them. It was my sister's appearance that disrupted their plans."
Shi Yin remained calm and pondered for a long time.
“When you get back this time, go find the commander. His special ability is puppetry, and you must accept his puppetry ability,” Shi Yin said.
"Can't my sister come instead?" Freya blinked her big eyes earnestly. "Sister, it seems like you can replicate superpowers, right?"
"...You don't need to pledge allegiance to me." Shi Yin paused and looked out the window: "It's to the country."
The snowstorm continued, and now the heavy snowfall seemed even heavier than before. For example, the faint crackling sound of burning wood had a surprisingly comforting quality.
“But you’ve been asleep for far too long this time. Can your body handle it?” Ishtar changed the subject, “Did you encounter any problems this time?”
"No, I just rested for a bit." Shi Yin shook her head: "We didn't really have anything to talk about, and since He didn't bother me, I stayed a little longer."
"I'm so happy to hear that." Ishtar paused for a moment, then sat down on the edge of the bed and gently stroked Shi Yin's hair. "It's rare for you to be willing to rest."
“If necessary, I certainly wouldn’t mind.” Shi Yin looked out the window at the snowstorm, which had covered the surroundings in a white blanket. “Before the next plan requires me to step in and wrap things up, I have plenty of time to take a look at this snowfield.”
"I'll be going now, my little darlings have been calling me so many times." Tyr waved.
There was no need for him to stay; the three of them were just there to slack off in the workspace.
Tyr didn't want to slack off here. Rather than stay here, he'd rather go home and be with his furry pet. His little biscuit had suffered so much and was so thin; he had to go back and feed it.
"Does your sister want to catch the traitor and eliminate dissenting voices within the organization?" Freya leaned closer to Shion.
“People who are too smart don’t live long.” Shi Yin glanced at Freya: “Saying everything will put you in danger.”
"No way! I can be your secretary too. A secretary has to understand what their boss is thinking." Freya chuckled and moved closer to Shi Yin. "I'm different from Nan Zhu. I can even help you change."
Shi Yin: "...There's really no need for that..."
"Knock knock knock".
The knocking didn't sound urgent, making it impossible to tell what the person outside was thinking.
The group fell silent and did not respond.
Tyr had just said hello and left. If he wanted to come in, he definitely wouldn't have used such a gentle method; he would probably have pounded on the door so hard it was deafening, as if he wanted to tear it apart.
"Old Zhang, are you sure there's someone inside? We braved the snow to come here, not to freeze." A soft voice came from outside the door.
“Nonsense, feel the temperature of this door. It’s actually a bit warm. There must be some fuel inside.” The man called Old Zhang spoke in a lower voice: “My drone took aerial photos from above and clearly showed someone walking this way. After eliminating so many houses, it must be this one.”
"Most people stock up on food first and then on charcoal. The fact that they dared to burn charcoal so much that even the door felt warm means that there must be a lot of supplies inside."
