Chapter 85 (Minor Repair)
A letter.
The door to the living room was opened, and the sound of the long-haired leader's military boots stopped at the door. He held the letter between his fingers and looked at the person inside calmly.
"Your letter."
Shen Jian, who was sitting on a single chair with a book spread out, raised his eyes, “Yeah.”
The young leader turned a page of the book and picked up the tea placed beside him.
Because she stayed in the bedroom for a long time, Shen Jian only wore a set of inner clothes. The complicated lace and embroidery dotted the white top, and the black pants on her lower body had neat edges and corners like knife blades.
Her bare feet sank into the shaggy carpet.
He seemed calm and at ease, as if he had not been detained here by force.
The next second, the long-haired man cruelly broke the scene.
He took two steps forward, stopped Shen Jian from flipping through the book, and pinched Shen Jian's raised wrist with one hand.
"..." Shen Jian raised his head slightly and said in a light voice, "Jörmungandr."
The leader stared at Shen Jian silently and calmly for a while, then asked, “What’s in the letter?”
Shen Jian paused, "I assume I haven't opened the letter yet."
"...Why, 'Father', do you still want to check a letter from your youngest child who you have locked up in his room and not allowed to go out?"
Shen Jian raised a smile without any hint of laughter, staring straight into the leader's dark eyes.
He once again deliberately distorted their relationship, bringing normal detention closer to the rules tacitly approved by the upper echelons, as if he really regarded the leader who had wandered for countless light years as his father.
Useless, weak and frail children in upper-class aristocratic families would be locked up in luxurious and warm rooms, living their lives in simplicity and ignorance, and could never step out of the house.
In the social world, people would only tacitly acknowledge children who had held adult birthday parties, such as Shen Pingyan and Shen An in this world.
The latter no longer concealed his edge at his coming-of-age banquet, and presented his family, which was responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of people, to the leader of the Wuyan Tower as a military achievement. The former did not even leave a single intact corpse for his own family.
In fact, Shen Pingyan's family did not leave his mother a complete body.
Shen Jian had asked Shen Pingyan why he had to write a new letter of surrender instead of handing it in.
Shen Pingyan knelt on the ground, his face remained calm, and he said, "Sir, this kind of dirty stuff is not worthy of being included in your achievements."
Therefore, Shen Jian has always believed that the civilians in the tower are, to some extent, crazier than the militant faction.
...What he meant was that the "leader of the Tower of Invincibility" was a civilian to some extent, so the leader was much crazier than other people.
Shen Jian glanced at the leader, whose eyes were silent, and looked away silently.
He was certain that no one had opened this letter of unknown origin because it was addressed to him.
Wu Yanta's subordinates would rather endure the most difficult four years for Wu Yanta in order to maintain the dignity of Wu Yanta.
...How could they be willing to betray the leader's dignity and secretly open things belonging to the leader just for a letter?
“You haven’t opened it either.” Shen Jian looked at the leader, his voice was very light, but he bit the word “yes”, “Maybe I am here, and I can also be considered your leader.”
After a pause, Shen Jian added calmly, “Even though I’ve never seen a subordinate imprison their leader like this.”
After a three-way debate a few days ago, Shen Jian silently stopped entering and leaving the living room.
In fact, this was not considered imprisonment, but Shen Jian tacitly accepted that he should be in a state of "imprisonment" during this time.
They were stuck on only one point: Why must Shen Jian not die?
Shen Jian even made a concession: he would take action after finding a way to make Yun terminate the self-destruction program, but the god still refused.
Shen Jian thought he was rational enough, and he also thought that the two people in front of him could not see that this was a plan with the least loss in all aspects.
Shen Jian sat on the bed, supporting his forehead. The feeling of his veins throbbing passed along the back of his hand to his heart, silently accelerating the blood pumping again.
"…You need to give me a reason why you disagree."
Although he was clearly the one being “interrogated,” he seemed to be the one taking charge, effectively weakening the aura of everyone present.
Shen Jian said stiffly, “By the way, I don’t accept the so-called ‘I am very important in your hearts’ reason.”
The silver-haired god's inorganic silver eyes stared at Shen Jian coldly, silently and without saying a word.
And the leader beside him didn’t even change his movements, as if what Shen Jian said was a joke.
However, Shen Jian's pupils dilated for a moment, and he looked at the two people in front of him who did not refute him in almost disbelief.
Shen Jian wasn't quite sure what their silence meant.
Looking at the two people who were still silent, Shen Jian finally realized something, and a bit of incredible confusion appeared in his eyes.
He stood up, slammed his fist on the table, and the ring of power pierced into his palm. He raised his voice and said, "Gentlemen, I think you are also important."
Shen Jian took a step forward, looked at the two peers in front of him who also had long hair, and took a deep breath, "Who wouldn't subconsciously focus their attention on the other self? But..."
"The collapse of space-time has been controlled to 0.0006% every thousand hours. We have enough time to find the next plan."
The god calmly interrupted Shen Jian's words, "Shen Jian, death is not the method we need to choose most, not to mention..."
"The core of the time-space transfer device has been found."
The leader's words quickly extinguished Shen Jian's thoughts, and he raised his eyebrows, "It looks like I'm not far from being able to get out of here."
Their default rule to ease this conflict was that Shen Jian did not stop the leader and the silver-haired god from destroying the time-space converter together.
The leader lowered his eyes to look at Shen Jian, and finally took a step back, watching in silence as Shen Jian lowered his head and turned a page of the book.
"...Believe me, Shen Jian." Finally, the leader said calmly, "What you hope for is also what we hope for."
"But don't give up hope of living..." The leader's long hair fell on Shen Jian's legs.
The long-haired man put his hand on Shen Jian's half-long black hair and said, "In places you don't know, there are many people who hope you are alive."
.
The leader is gone.
Shen Jian remained silent for a while while turning the pages, before swallowing the leader's last words.
He then turned his attention to the table, where the leader had placed it.
Shen Jian put the book down and opened the seal.
Under the snow-white envelope was another small black and gold seal, and one could faintly smell the perfume with the scent of ancient blood and rust.
Shen Jian remembered that the manufacturer of this luxury product was [Jade Bracelet], and its name was "Changhong Guanri", the best-selling perfume in the "Loyalty" series.
Privately, employees of some organizations call this perfume "Knight".
Being hidden and close to Chen Jian: ...
He sat at the long double-leaf lacquered red leather tea table in the living room and shook off the chill with an expressionless face.
He decided to send the person who wrote the letter to the language and thought refresher class he was about to open for retraining.
Enduring the embarrassment that made his hair stand on end, Shen Jian opened the letter.
【gentlemen:
Sincerely,
I'm very sorry to greet you in the traditional way, but from my observation, paper documents seem to be used uniformly inside the Wuyan Tower. Perhaps you are more accustomed to reading real text.
I have to believe that compared to data transmission, perhaps paper documents still have some kind of superiority in nature, such as not being detected and seized by your Solomon - Sir, you seem to have really capsized this time. I have been waiting in my room for three days, and you still haven't come.
After all, according to the procedure, you should see me first after you come back. Isn't it? Didn't you leave me in the tower so that I can "keep an eye on" them?
Of course, you won't admit that this is just a little secret between us, but I can also choose not to write this letter to you.
Sorry, sir, I'm not trying to prove anything, I just think that when you first came back, you appeased Shen An, appeased Shen Lanhe, and even appeased the leader who returned with you, but you didn't appease me...
Your subordinates who are not given the surname Shen but are still very loyal are a little sad. 】
Seeing this, Shen Jian calmly closed the letter.
He stood up, made a cup of coffee, watered the tuberose that had been set up with a watering system, and flipped through a book as if nothing had happened. Only then did he muster up the energy to continue reading the letter.
The young leader decided one thing at this time: he decided not to let Xu Yinmo submit another report to him.
He couldn’t bear it, Shen Jian thought bitterly.
The young leader, who was once again frustrated by his subordinates' speaking skills, held the letter in his hand and gave himself several psychological hints before lowering his head and focusing his eyes on the words on the paper.
He had to keep looking down.
Shen Jian struggled to find some useful information from the pile of exaggerated compliments in the letter.
[…I don’t think I can hide this from you. All the details are shown below.
First, ..., Wu Yan Tower participated in the original retrospective plan, but did not acquiesce. The biggest evidence is that it built less than 4/1000 of the ark...
Second, the clues to the artificial delay of the Ark's construction are as follows...
Third, the clues and evidence that Wu Yan Tower may know that you need to travel through time and space (including 2 rules that are still in doubt) are as follows...
Fourth, the external key power changes are as follows... The brief situation is as follows...
Fifth, some incredible speculations, the world may have self-awareness...】
Shen Jian's gaze paused for a long time on the fifth item before continuing to read on.
[……
Finally, for my own selfish reasons, I will betray you, sir, if you really want to die.
I believe you have expected this. After all, no one in the Wu Yan Tower would make a second choice, but I still want to make one thing clear: I am different from them. I don’t think this is a betrayal, sir.
I came from the army. The only requirements the army has for the people it trains are just four words: loyalty and obedience.
As you can see, in this world on the verge of decay, the inferiors are appendages of the superiors, but I, was born for my master.
If all actions are for you, for you, and beneficial to you, then I can call them correct.
Is this interpretation correct, sir?
Sincerely, Xu Yinmo
