A few years later, the old man passed away, and the relevant things came into her hands.
After awakening her superpower, the aftereffects of "Blood Burning Release" almost rendered her completely useless. In desperation, she took a risk and found a suitable superpower user to transplant their ability into herself, thus solving the problem of complications once and for all.
It was described as taking a risk because the project was far from perfect, with a success rate of less than one percent... but in any case, she succeeded.
She didn't tell even her former subordinates about this, let alone Shenhe—mainly because the technology of the "Forgotten Ones" couldn't be further improved upon. Her original idea was that if she could counterattack Xu Shi, it wouldn't be too late to bring it up then.
Who would have thought that in the end, they would have to do this to gamble on even the slightest possibility of survival?
"That's interesting."
Xu Shi nodded. "What about the relevant information? Miss Shen Qin should still have it, right?"
"I have a necklace that you should have; all the things inside are stored in it."
Shen Qin said helplessly, "If I stubbornly refuse to tell them, they'll probably be able to find out anyway."
"Go and look for it quickly."
Xu Shi gestured to Su Lin, who immediately left to go look for it.
"That's how things are. Now... can you spare my brother's life?"
Shen Qin gritted her teeth, pinning her hopes on Xu Shi's ambiguous promise from earlier.
"Don't worry, if I say there's a chance, then there definitely will be."
Xu Shi didn't answer her question, but crossed his arms and glanced at her. "But you really don't care about your own life or death? I think given your brother's personality, he probably wouldn't abandon you to live on, would he?"
Shen He certainly wouldn't do that, or rather, after saying that, he wouldn't have the face to do it.
"It's none of her business. Let her go if you want."
He stood in front of Shen Qin, saying, "Let's settle our score; it has nothing to do with her!"
"See, I told you so."
Xu Shi sighed and took out the "beacon" from his inner pocket, waving it in front of the Shen siblings.
"Anyway, only one of you can leave here. Discuss it and then tell me, okay?"
Guess who will be released; bets are 1 to 1 at the opening.
