After an unremarkable 25th birthday, Xu Shi threw himself into work early the next morning, full of energy.
This surprised Su Lin quite a bit... Has the young master completely changed his ways?
However, Xu Shi's next request surprised her even more, "Then, um, are you sure you want it now? Right here?"
"This can be done anytime, there's no need for you to be in such a hurry..."
It was clear that she strongly disapproved of Xu Shi's sudden request to awaken his superpowers.
There are two categories of "ascended individuals".
Some people are born with special abilities, while others need a little help.
Today, the technology for awakening superpowers is quite mature, and "Snake Ring" is the leader in this field, even the Bureau of Investigation needs their support.
Therefore, Su Lin's concern does not lie there.
What she was concerned about were the complications that arose after her superpowers awakened.
Superpowers are not a gift to everyone—the "upgrade" triggered by the moderately corrosive "rust mist" is far from perfect.
Physical illness, mental anguish... complications vary from person to person, but there have never been any exceptions.
In her opinion, it would be good if she could not awaken her superpowers for a while.
The worst situation is when you awaken a useless, trashy superpower, but you still have to suffer unbearable torment.
(╯?﹏?╰) What if that's really the case?
And to be honest, she hasn't even taken care of Gu Yi's matter yet... Isn't it a bit too hasty for you to bring this up all of a sudden?
"Stop talking nonsense."
Xu Shi interrupted her, "Just do it."
This wasn't a whim of his; it was because the "Spark" matter was still unresolved.
The hacking was just the prelude; it alone wouldn't be enough for them to achieve a complete victory.
The more crucial reason is that there was a traitor within the "Snake Ring".
Xia Wuyou is the youngest operations team leader in the "Snake Ring" field operations department, and also the person in charge of this escort operation.
And she has an even more outrageous identity—the protagonist Shen He's childhood sweetheart.
Using this connection, Shen He contacted her on the eve of the operation and successfully persuaded her to give him special permission to use his connections.
It's fair to say that if Xia Wuyou hadn't held back, given the disadvantage in both numbers and equipment, the success rate of "Spark's" operation, which was like snatching teeth from a tiger's mouth, would probably have been less than 10%.
And then... old friends rekindled their old flames, and the traitor finally made up his mind to defect, becoming the sharpest sword in "Spark".
Just thinking about it makes my blood pressure spike.
Moreover, now that the plot has changed, who can guarantee that the protagonist won't be suspicious and make Xia Wuyou reconfirm the authenticity of the list?
In short, such disruptive factors must be dealt with decisively!
The early awakening of superpowers is also based on this consideration.
Xu Shi knew that compared to Gu Yi, Xia Wuyou was more innocent and had a stronger mental fortitude... The method of hanging bombs would probably have little effect and might even backfire, causing her to fall into the protagonist's arms prematurely.
We still need the protection of superpowers... Even if we don't need them, the main characters all have superpowers, so how can the villain be absent?
"……I see."
Seeing Xu Shi's resolute attitude, Su Lin had no choice but to fetch a small instrument.
The "sundial" was developed by Snake Ring and is an instrument used to assist in the awakening of supernatural abilities.
"You may feel a little unwell later, please don't be nervous."
"Okay, let's begin."
Although I was mentally prepared, the suffocating feeling that came with the machine starting up still exceeded my expectations.
It felt like suddenly falling into the deep sea, with boundless darkness pressing down on my chest, and all I could feel was despair.
However, after a brief moment of panic, Xu Shi quickly calmed down.
It's just a normal reaction to awakening superpowers... Once we find that anchor point, everything will be accomplished.
The process was quick; soon he saw the hanging rope.
This is it!
He reached out with all his might and grabbed it, and the surrounding darkness shattered instantly.
"Whoosh!"
The next second, Xu Shi woke up, panting heavily.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Su Lin handed over a glass of water at the right moment and asked with concern.
"It was alright, quite exciting."
He took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, then took a breath and asked, "Did it work?"
"Yes."
Su Lin took the analysis data printed out in real time from the sundial. "The results show that your awakened superpower is..."
"Increased entropy of malicious thoughts"
Xu Shi already had a name in his mind.
Or, to put it another way, it could be called "the amplification of negative emotions."
No one is perfect, and people will always experience different negative emotions in different situations.
Greed, envy, sadism, lust...
"The increase of entropy of evil thoughts" is the catalyst, allowing the seeds of evil thoughts to blossom and bear fruit, thereby forcing others to gradually fall into one's own rhythm.
According to the original setting, if one is affected by "entropy of evil thoughts" for too long, the mindset of the affected person will also undergo irreversible changes, and eventually completely submit to one's own feet.
(??ω??) Simply put, it's the evil that leads to depravity...
Even superpowers are so villainous... Although he knew it would be like this, Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly.
There's no way to completely clear your name (doge).
Fortunately, he didn't intend to do that. If you're going to be a villain, just be a villain properly. Why bother with all that fancy stuff?
Su Lin didn't know what Xu Shi was thinking, but she was also very pleased.
The sundial gave it a B rating, so there's nothing to worry about now... not to mention that the young master awakened the most promising mental ability.
