What Xu Shi wanted to ask was also what everyone else present wanted to ask.
"Tianli" is an organization, so it's impossible for He Yuxia to be the only one. In fact, her position within it is insignificant, and the fact that she was immediately abandoned when something happened is the best proof of that.
That makes the matter even more terrifying to think about—there are likely many people like her hiding in the City of Night Sin, each with their own role in the organization "Heavenly Principle"... The key is that they also possess the ability to destroy two major conglomerates overnight, no, or even change the dynasty here. How can this not be alarming?
The saying goes, "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days." It's still very necessary to do a thorough screening. Even if you can't catch them all, it's good to find some by following the clues. Especially as seen from He Yuxia, "heavenly justice" is not invincible. It's just that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, so it's not so easy to defeat them.
only.
Upon hearing Xu Shi's question, He Yuxia simply shook her head with a wry smile, "...I don't know."
"Still being stubborn?"
Ye Shanshan, with her fiery temper, rushed over and punched her upon hearing this. "Have you really never seen 'Prism's' methods? Keep being stubborn and I'll send you flying!"
No wonder she couldn't control herself; everyone present was quite agitated—anyone who knew they were being manipulated like pawns would find it difficult to remain absolutely calm.
"Of course I know. Let alone all of you together, I'm afraid I couldn't withstand any of you interrogating me."
He Yuxia took a punch, but she did not change her story. "But I don't know, and that's that. Even if you beat me to death or turn me into a sex doll, it won't change the fact."
"...Forget it, let's stop. I guess she really doesn't know."
Xu Shi was adept at understanding people's hearts and could sense that she was not putting up a last-ditch resistance, so he spoke up to stop the curly-haired girl.
Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear that these individuals are likely acting independently, unaware of each other's existence, all to prevent a situation like this one, where pulling up one radish brings up the rest of the mud.
but.
"Shouldn't you at least know the person you're supposed to be working with?"
He looked at Miss He meaningfully, "Don't tell me you were born a person of 'natural law'."
"...You're right, I really was born a person of 'natural law'."
He Yuxia's answer surprised everyone: "Or perhaps, I'm not really He Yuxia; I just need to become her to conceal my identity as the 'Observer.'"
“From birth, we live in sealed capsules, being groomed as backup ‘watchdogs.’ When needed, we’ll be dispatched; the blink of an eye, it’s a new world, a new life.”
"The original He Yuxia..."
Xu Shi frowned upon hearing this.
"There can only be one He Yuxia in this world, right?"
Miss He smiled again, "If the old doesn't go, how can the new come?"
The subtext of these words is clear to everyone: the original He Yuxia was probably, no, definitely dead, and from that moment on, the He Yuxia in front of us took her place.
This caused everyone's expressions to become somewhat solemn.
If the sudden change of dynasties is a macroscopic horror, then this is a microscopic horror—who knows how many "righteous" people are still hiding in the City of Night Sin, and they could very well be anyone around you, or even someone's close family member, friend, or even your bedmate?
All of this is extremely difficult to detect. To be honest, if it weren't for Xia Ke'an's help, even Xu Shi might not have been able to be completely sure that He Yuxia was hiding something. She's been disguising herself so well for so many years.
This situation is not an isolated case... For a time, no one could remain at ease.
"We can't get anything out of her for now... Let's take her away."
After a long silence, Xu Shi finally sighed softly.
Ning Wei nodded knowingly.
"Is it really that you can't get any more information out of me? Or... do you just not want to keep asking?"
Seeing that she was about to be placed under house arrest, He Yuxia suddenly raised her voice, "Then why don't I tell you more things?"
"For example... there may be many people who 'represent Heaven's Principle,' but I know that there will only be one 'Observer.'"
"so?"
The little curly-haired boy didn't quite understand at first.
“I arrived in the City of Night Sin ten years ago, and before that, this position had been vacant for about fourteen or fifteen years.”
He Yuxia's expression twisted slightly. "Aren't you curious about who the 'observer' before me was?"
"In no mood."
Xu Shi waved his hand, contrary to his usual behavior, "I'm disgusted enough just looking at you, it doesn't matter who that person is."
"I have to say it even if I don't want to!"
He Yuxia shouted uncontrollably, "That person is your mother, and also your own daughter, Wen Rujin!"
!
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions and turned to look at Xu Shi.
Everyone knows Wen Rujin's name. She was once a rising star in the City of Night Sin. When she married, she broke the hearts of countless young men. She died of illness not long after giving birth to Xu Shi. Her beautiful but short life is truly lamentable.
But that's not the point. The point is, is she also a person of "heavenly justice"? It cannot be denied that this is a malicious accusation made by He Yuxia, but it is hard not to make people suspicious.
If Wen Rujin is truly the "observer" of the previous generation, then what is Xu Shi?
The only one who didn't look at him was Wen Shengkui. His face was filled with unprecedented shock. He wanted to say something, but it was as if his throat was blocked, and he couldn't say anything.
