Chapter 255 Su Weiyu's Story
"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door. Xia Shou was sitting at the desk, and Alice had already opened the door. Su Weiyu nimbly stepped sideways and flashed in. She pointed at Xia Shou with her right hand like a pistol and said happily, "Good morning!"

"Good morning." Seeing Su Weiyu, Xia Shou's mood immediately improved a lot.

"I brought some fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, and soy milk from home ~ a simple breakfast." Su Weiyu put the bag on Xia Shou's desk, "Why do you look so worried? Now, apart from the troublesome delusion, there seems to be nothing to worry about. Wasn't the curse of aging also suppressed by Xiaoyue's blood?"

"Wei Yu, I have a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Why do you only carry so many forbidden objects? With your physique, you can obviously carry more forbidden objects. The more forbidden objects you carry, the more protection your life safety will have. But when I met you in the Blood Demon's House, you only carried Sparrow's Compass and Doujiqiri. Don't you have some defensive forbidden objects?"

"Well... how should I put it? Although the Control Bureau has a lot of banned objects, there are basically no idle practical ones. Defensive banned objects are used 24 hours a day. Although I can forcibly strip the banned objects from the user and use them myself, this is not a good idea, right?" Su Weiyu moved a chair over, with the back facing forward, and sat on it with her legs spread out, resting her hands on the back of the chair, and said thoughtfully.

I can only say that it is fortunate that it is still spring and Su Weiyu is wearing jeans, otherwise it would be very easy to expose herself in this sitting posture.

But no one will notice even if she's exposed. Thinking of this, Xia Shou was inexplicably happy.

"Because you think this will cause others to get hurt?" Xia Shou asked.

"Well, there is a reason for this. In fact, I didn't just have this little equipment at the beginning. In the beginning, no matter where I was, I had to be fully armed. Even though I never caused any anomalies and tried my best to avoid being involved in any abnormal incidents, I would still carry two panaceas, a Doujikiri, and a substitute straw doll.

These things are standard equipment. As long as I have them with me, I will be fine even if I get hit by a truck while walking on the road.

If you encounter heatstroke or any other emergency, you can recover by taking a panacea.

As for encountering dangerous city stray dogs and other animals, Tongziqier can handle them easily.

Anyway, in daily life, it is completely enough to carry one or two forbidden items, and it is more than enough as long as you don’t attract any weird people.”

Su Weiyu rested her chin on the back of her hand, her expression serious, even a little solemn.

Then she took a deep breath, as if preparing to confess a crime, to begin a deep confession of sin.

"But, after living alone for a long time, it's easy to care about other people, even strangers. As long as there's just the slightest connection, I'll care about them.

Once, I knew that there was a Level 1 employee who went on a mission without any defensive seals due to an emergency situation, and when he came back, he had turned into a flat piece of meat.

His wife cried so much that she fainted on the spot, and the child stood there in a daze, as if he didn't understand what it meant to lose his father.

And that day, I had the straw doll with me, and I had been carrying it with me for half a year.

During these six months, I encountered no danger and the straw doll was never used once.

I thought, if I hadn't taken away the forbidden object, allowing that person to carry out the mission with the straw doll, would he not have died?

I was not very old at that time, and I felt very bad when I saw the kid, who was about the same age as my brother, standing there, staring at the urn, looking at a loss.

But at that time I thought that it was not my fault. After all, no one in this world would protect me, so what was wrong with me protecting myself?
But I slept very poorly during those days, and then I went to check how many employees had been forced to carry out tasks without defensive seals because of me in the past six months.

Finally, I discovered that there was almost no spare time to use forbidden objects such as substitute straw dolls. Every day, people had to take action due to emergencies, but they had no forbidden objects to use.

Half a year, one hundred and eighty days.

At least one hundred and eighty people could use it, and that was my conservative estimate at the time, but in fact there must be more.

I just thought…”

Su Weiyu paused, looked at the ground, her eyes slightly red.

"I thought, I was just afraid that no one would notice me when I was walking on the road, and no one would save me if I was hit by a car, so I kept carrying the scarecrow with me. But they knew they were going to die, and they didn't bring anything to protect them, but they still did that. I suddenly felt that this was all my fault. Although I didn't do anything against the law, it was really unfair that I had to let them risk their lives just because I felt insecure.

If my father had a life-saving medicine and a person with paranoia took it and kept it with him as a backup, and that person was fine, but my father died because he had no medicine to take, then I would definitely not forgive that person.

Although I had other thoughts at the time, I also thought that so many people died every day, and it wasn't me who killed them, so what did it have to do with me.

But I still felt uncomfortable, so I continued to walk around the streets with that banned object every day, with this question constantly on my mind.

Then one day, a criminal broke into a company with a dangerous contraband and killed many people.

Finally, several first-level employees stopped the criminal. The ground was covered with blood and flesh. The only first-level employee who was still alive had only half of his upper body left, with an eyeball hanging out of his eye socket. He was using his last moments to call his wife, but the call didn’t go through.”

Su Weiyu paused: "Do you know why I remember it so clearly?"

Xia Shou felt very depressed, but when he thought that it was the young Su Weiyu who saw all this, he felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation.

Although the mental state of Su Weiyu standing in front of him now is so normal and healthy, when he listened to this story, he was always worried that the previous Su Weiyu would go crazy because of these tangled choices.

"Why?" Xia Shou asked in a low voice.

"Because my dad was talking to a friend at that company that day, and a piece of glass shattered by the criminal cut into his earlobe, only half the size of a fingernail." Su Weiyu pointed to her little finger, "Because he was not directly involved, he ran away as soon as there was a noise, so my dad just thought it was an explosion."

“But I know those guys almost couldn’t stop that criminal, and they fought very hard to take him out.

This time, my dad just had a little bleeding from his ear, but next time it might be Xiaoyue, it might be mom, it might not just be bleeding from the ear, it might be a broken bone, a concussion, he might go crazy, or even die...anything is possible.

The only thing that might be missing is the scarecrow doll that I haven’t used for half a year.

It was then that I realized that this world really had nothing to do with me, but my parents and my sister had actually been living in such a world.

In the six months since I took the straw doll away, it wasn’t just the staff of the Control Bureau who were killed. In every incident, there were some ordinary people whose names were not recorded. They died because the rescue efforts were not strong enough. ”

Xia Shou was silent, not knowing what to say. Anyway, he couldn't bring himself to ask Su Weiyu to help him steal the forbidden object.

After hearing this story, even Xia Shou himself didn't want to steal anymore. If he had to steal, he would do it only when it was absolutely necessary.

Wei Yu is really too kind.

I wonder how successful her uncle and aunt must have been in educating her in her childhood, to prevent her from becoming a native of the country when she acquired the ability to remain invisible.

"...I'm sorry, I couldn't stop and said so much in one breath, but I can only tell you." Su Weiyu sniffed and muttered embarrassedly.

She looked at Xia Shou cautiously, like a kitten or puppy afraid of being scolded, she glanced at her master quickly, then immediately looked away, not daring to look him in the face.

"But later, I usually only carried a compass and a boy's knife!" She emphasized this deliberately, as if she wanted to prove her reformation.

Xia Shou: "..."

"Was I very bad in the past?" Seeing Xia Shou not saying anything, Su Weiyu looked so lost that she seemed like she was about to cry.

"No, I think you are really amazing, Wei Yu."

Xia Shou expressed his admiration from the bottom of his heart. After listening to her mental journey, he even felt that being friends with Su Weiyu was like a mercenary villain being friends with a devout Virgin Mary nun. He was even thinking about how many banned items he could steal from the Control Bureau.

This idea really tarnished the other party's consciousness.

Xia Shou was very glad that he listened to the story first and didn't tell it out loud.
