Chapter 454 Deep Virtual Reality 292
Xie Ning bent down slightly and said softly, "Mr. Shrike, you saw that you were not dead, did you?"
As he finished speaking, the corpse stuck to the ceiling fell down with a thud due to the melting ice, startling the shrike. He quickly forced a smile and said, "No, I just felt that you kept me here because I could serve you..."
Shrew showered him with compliments, but he couldn't reveal his special ability, which was precognition. Although it was unstable, his ability was extremely rare and he couldn't let others know about it.
As Xie Ning remained silent, Bo Lao's voice grew softer and softer, his confidence waning. Xie Ning's words just now—did she already know about his special ability? Yes...
Shrike was on the verge of tears, but managed a bitter smile. "Thank you, Congressman. I am just one of the most insignificant among them. I, our Moary family, am willing to serve you and offer our sincerest gratitude."
The shrike opened his palm, gesturing for Xie Ning to place his hand on it.
Xie Ning didn't speak, but thinking about what Shen Xiuya had told her about the Shrike's superpower, she still took off her gloves and put her hands on it.
Shrew grasped Xie Ning's hand, then closed his eyes tightly, and soon his face turned pale.
Glancing at Xie Ning's face, Bo Lao wondered whether he should lie or tell the truth. If he lied and lured Xie Ning into a trap, she might die. But the thought was quickly dismissed as soon as it crossed Bo Lao's mind.
Because Xie Ning did not die in the end, the process may have changed, but the ending was fixed.
He has no chance of escaping death. Just like now, he won't die, but whether he will suffer other hardships in the process is unknown and uncertain.
"You are about to face danger... In the dark underground laboratory, you are being hunted. I can't see those people, I can only see you, and your superpowers seem to have disappeared."
Bo Lao took a deep breath and spilled everything he had seen. He was betting that Xie Ning could get through the crisis even without his reminder, but if Xie Ning got through the crisis more easily because of his reminder, then he would be credited.
The upper echelons of order have collapsed, and the heads of various families are about to be beheaded by Xie Ning. He needs to plan for the future of the Moyali family. If Cheng Guo gets a windfall, they might be able to pick up some scraps of meat from behind.
As Shrike finished speaking, Xie Ning's expression also turned serious. She didn't completely trust Shrike's words, but with this reminder, she would be on guard.
Moreover, Xie Ning found it strange that apart from the people brought by the few tycoons surrounding the island, the inside was almost entirely her people, and all the outsiders who entered the building were also under control.
Therefore, it is hard to understand why the shrike said she was being hunted down. How could she be hunted down in territory that she completely controlled?
This is so strange.
There's also the underground laboratory. The only one Xie Ning could think of was the private laboratory built under this island, but she had already sent people to clean it up. There was nothing dangerous there, neither people nor alien creatures.
But since Shrike had spoken, Xie Ning would take it seriously and immediately contacted other security personnel to control every corner of the laboratory. However, such an arrangement was clearly insufficient to deal with awakened individuals with superpowers.
Xie Ning subconsciously placed her hand on her wrist. The little octopus seemed sleepy, idly waving its tiny tentacles.
When Shrike said her superpower had disappeared, she immediately thought of Shen Chen's younger brother, Shen Xin. Shen Xin's superpower was molecular confinement, which could completely restrain other awakened individuals, putting their superpowers in a confined state and preventing them from using them.
But Chen Zi died.
However, there can be a second zinc precipitate in this world.
Xie Ning pursed her lips, lowered her head and sent a message asking Yin Yue to bring people and equipment over.
“Mr. Shrike, you should know what to do next.”
Xie Ning wasted no more time. One by one, the people who had been hiding in the shadows came out, and their faces looked exactly like those of the dead tycoons.
Whether the people who come here are real or fake, in the end, only her people will remain.
With the equipment developed by the rebel research institute, disguise is very simple. It's just that biological information is hard to fake. But her purpose is not to use these people to actually replace those behind the scenes. Instead, she wants to find out the tycoons who did not attend the meeting in person.
Watching Xie Ning's departing figure, the shrike sighed silently.
In the end, he lowered his head. Shrike felt that he was probably the most cowardly head of the Moary family in history. Of course, he would never admit to being a coward or weakling if others called him that.
He's just a wise man who knows when to yield; he sides with whoever is stronger to protect his family, and there's nothing shameful about that.
