"Um, I didn't understand." Ye Shaoheng was on the verge of tears: "Sister Yin, what are your standards?"
"Although it's not good to undermine yourself, it's better to make some things clear." Shi Yin thought for a moment: "It's mainly because you're emotionally fragile, so I'm giving you some preparation beforehand."
Ye Shaoheng: "??"
"Where is my heart fragile!" Ye Shaoheng almost lost his temper. Don't make him sound so delicate, okay?
"Drive your car." Ye Yuansong glanced at Ye Shaoheng.
Ye Shaoheng: "...Oh."
Ye Shaoheng was dejected.
He felt so cowardly. He felt he should stand up for himself, but there was his grandfather in the car and Shi Yin, someone his grandfather respected and who was like his boss. Both of them seemed to have a kind of bloodline suppression on him.
“There are no free lunches in this world. I told you long ago that I’m neither a savior nor the main character. At most, I’m your credit card.” Shi Yin leaned back in her chair. “At most, I’m the one who took you guys along for a ride.”
What does "顺手" mean?
"You're being too casual, aren't you?" Ye Shaoheng almost choked on his own saliva.
“Each of us Five Knights has our own personal agenda. All that talk about selfless dedication is just talk. You’d better not believe it.” Shi Yin spread her hands, appearing completely frank and innocent.
"Cough cough cough! Hey!" Ye Shaoheng choked: "You've gone too far!"
"Cooperating with you guys is the most effective way to achieve my goals, which is why my recent rebirth has always revolved around you guys." Shi Yin enjoyed Ye Shaoheng's coughing and disheveled expression.
“Aside from the true protagonists of shonen manga, salvation and gifts always come at a price. We five knights have all come with different purposes; it just so happens that your paths overlap with ours.”
This is ridiculous! How can you sabotage yourself like this?!
Last time, Shi Yin said that she was not the protagonist and that saving everyone was what the protagonist should do. Ye Shaoheng thought Shi Yin was joking. He didn't expect that this time she would sever their relationship.
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't do this! The trust we just built up is almost collapsing now." Ye Shaoheng wanted to bang his head against the steering wheel. "We've been through thick and thin together, shouldn't we be open and honest with each other?"
"Really? I think this is the most solid way." Shi Yin looked at the frantic Ye Shaoheng with amusement: "Trust and love are far too weak in the face of the apocalypse and people's hearts."
“I have seen best friends betray each other after years of friendship, brothers scheme against each other, relatives turn against each other for a bite to eat, and newlyweds push each other into the tiger’s den the next moment. No relationship is great enough to be completely trustworthy.”
"But shouldn't you feel more at ease knowing that we share common interests, common goals, and a common path? Because I will never abandon you, and only in this way can I get what I want."
"You're being too blunt," Ye Shaoheng muttered under his breath. "It makes us seem so distant."
"This is a good thing." After saying this, Shi Yin closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, pretending to doze off.
Ye Shaoheng wanted to say something more, but Ye Yuansong cleared his throat, leaving Ye Shaoheng with a bellyful of words stuck in his throat.
This morning, they received a secret order from the Commander-in-Chief to bring Shi Yin over. Ye Yuansong knew that the Commander-in-Chief had already spoken with other countries.
Although it's unclear how much communication took place, this is very likely the topic of conversation.
Soon, Ye Yuansong and his group boarded a private plane again, but this time, the private plane was directly dispatched by the state.
Ye Shaoheng got out of the car first to open the door for Ye Yuansong. Ye Yuansong had just leaned out halfway when Shi Yin pressed down on his shoulder.
"Crouch down." Shi Yin's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Shi Yin told Ye Shaoheng to squat down, but she had already used force. Ye Shaoheng was completely out of control and knelt down on one knee while holding onto the car door.
In that instant, Ye Yuansong suddenly felt a strange fluctuation, as if the wind was distorting its direction.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a flash of colorful light, and a samurai sword appeared at Shi Yin's left waist. Shi Yin pressed her left hand tightly against the scabbard, gripped the hilt with her right hand, and lowered her body slightly, ready to strike.
Shi Yin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and after two seconds of silence, suddenly opened her eyes. In that instant, Ye Yuansong and Ye Shaoheng felt Shi Yin's sharp and alarming attention.
The flash of swords and the aura of swords soared into the sky. The two only felt a flash of white light before their eyes. When they came to their senses, Shi Yin had already twirled the samurai sword in her hand and sheathed it in a beautiful circle.
What a perfect example of Iaido!
Iaido, also known as the art of drawing the sword, emphasizes the principle of killing with a single blow, and in those brief few seconds just now, Tokine perfected this technique.
Two pieces of flesh fell to the ground with a "thud." Shi Yin squatted down to examine them carefully, and Ye Shaoheng and Ye Yuansong also came up.
This is a crow, its feathers so clean and lush that it doesn't resemble a crow that grows freely in the wild. Shi Yin Shi Yin pried open the crow's beak, and there was blood inside. It had no eyeballs, only the whites of its eyes.
"Hiss, is this considered a zombie?" Ye Shaoheng curiously stretched out his hand: "It looks just like the ones in the movies, there are even birds... Oh dear!"
"Smack!"
Shi Yin and Ye Yuansong slapped Ye Shaoheng's arm at almost the same time, almost making Ye Shaoheng sit on the ground from below.
"Do you even know what this is, yet you dare to touch it like that?" Ye Yuansong glared at Ye Shaoheng, annoyed. "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame, and courage—have you eaten wisdom with rice?"
"I...I didn't mean..." Ye Shaoheng nervously touched his neck, "I just thought it was nothing because Shi Yin was so generous..."
"I told you to tie the zombies up and not let you touch them, but you dare to touch this?" Shi Yin was speechless: "Wait until you have superpowers before you touch it."
"Does having superpowers mean I'm no longer afraid?" Ye Shaoheng immediately grasped the key point.
Shi Yin nodded perfunctorily, her brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Go to the capital immediately." Shi Yin stood up.
Soon, the plane landed in Beijing, and a special car immediately and secretly picked them up. Shi Yin remained silent throughout the process, making Ye Yuansong and Shi Yin very nervous.
Fortunately, there were no other unexpected events.
Ye Yuansong was absolutely certain that it wasn't his imagination. Ever since Shi Yin gripped the knife and focused his attention, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, giving him a vague sense of crisis that kept expanding until the plane landed and gradually subsided.
Soon, someone took them away and led them into a meeting room that had been prepared specifically for them.
This is a two-story conference room. In the outermost conference room, two-thirds of the people are sitting at a large round table. Shi Yin looked around and locked her gaze on the leader.
Their eyes met briefly, and they both nodded at the same time.
