Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 558 Before the Press Conference
A few days later, the day of the press conference arrived.

Xia Shou's plan will also be implemented today.

In the basement of Longteng Group’s office building, a group of people surrounded Liu Yilong and entered the venue.

Xia Shou sat in the van, looking through the window at the familiar face in the distance. The other person was much more mature than he remembered, but he still looked like the boy in Yuezhuo Village.

The office building across the street is the headquarters of Liu Yilong’s company. The sculpture at the door is full of futuristic technology.

The press conference will begin in a few hours, and they will sneak in pretending to be reporters and kill Liu Yilong. The team of reporters originally invited have been kidnapped by them and properly placed.

Xia Shou looked at the time and said, "I'm going to sleep first. Call me half an hour before the action."

After saying that, Xia Shou adjusted his body posture and curled up in the back seat.

This is the only superpower he has possessed after entering the book. It is also one of the ironclad proofs that Xia Shou can be 100% sure that he is not crazy. One of the conditions for activating the superpower is sleep.

The effect of this ability is that it allows him to read a passage from a book while he falls asleep.

The first time he triggered this ability was when he just crossed over.

It was a typhoon day, and he was helping doctors manage some mentally ill patients who were out of control. Because he was too tired, he sat in a chair and wanted to rest for a while. As a result, when he dozed off, he read a book in his dream and saw the following text in the book:
[The man walked into the hospital gate, shook off the rain on his leather jacket, pressed his wet hair hard, then walked straight to the service desk and asked the nurse for Xia Shou's ward number.

He waited for a while in front of the service desk, and finally got the information he wanted. He turned around, walked through the corridor filled with patients' strange cries, came to the elevator waiting area on the other side, and pressed the elevator up button.

The man reached inside his leather jacket and touched the machete in his pocket. The machete was rolled up in the newspaper. The back of this knife was thicker than that of an ordinary machete. He spent a lot of time polishing the blade before coming. It was very sharp and could cut a pig bone with one stroke.

"Ding!" The elevator door opened and the doctor walked out pushing a patient with a dull look in his eyes. He stepped into the elevator sideways and pressed the floor he had asked from the front desk.

He looked a little nervous and uneasy, his eyes fixed on the changing floor numbers.

Finally, he arrived at his floor. He walked quickly down the corridor and came to Ward 4033, which was Xia Shou's ward.

He stood at the door and looked inside, then slowly pushed the door open and walked in.

There was no one there, it was a single room. The ward was very clean and the quilt was particularly neat. At first glance, it did not look like a mental patient's room.

The man looked around, slowly walked to the bedside table and stopped.

He reached out, picked up the crumpled notebook, opened it and flipped through a few pages, then walked out of the ward again.

He quickened his pace, found the service desk, and asked politely, "Um, where is patient No. 4033? I'm his classmate, and I'm here to see him."

"Number 4033, what's your name?"

"Xia Shou."

"He should be in the activity room." The nurse pointed to one side of the corridor. "Go to the end and turn right."

"Thank you." He smiled slightly and turned to walk in the direction the nurse pointed.

This was the text Xia Shou read in his dream. He woke up from his nap and finally escaped the opponent's pursuit at the last moment by taking action in advance. There was no doubt that it was an assassination with a strong purpose. As for the purpose of the killer, Xia Shou still didn't understand it until now, and even the identity of the other party was a mystery.

Is the other party a member of the funeral home who came from the underworld? Or a follower of the wandering bard? Or someone else related to "The Season of Falling Stars"?
It is precisely because anything is possible that people are confused.

But the only thing that is certain is that the other party’s purpose is very clear, which is to kill him. This is the only thing Xia Shou can be sure of.

The means by which he could fight against it was that special dream.

But that kind of dream cannot be triggered casually.

The discovery of the prerequisites for superpowers was by chance.

At that time, he had been taken care of by Su Yue for several years and wanted to go back to see his parents and younger brother several times. That time, Su Yue took him to this community by car. They parked in the community, next to the road that his parents must pass by when they go home, waiting for them to come home from get off work.

Because it was very early, Xia Shou dozed off in the car and saw that clip again.

He was reading a passage in his dream, about a woman lying on the rooftop of an apartment building opposite his house, observing the surrounding situation through a telescope. What she was mainly observing was the window of Xia Shou's house.

After Xia Shou woke up, he drove out of the other party's sight, then asked Su Yue to sneak up to the rooftop, capture the other party alive, and then took him to the secret base, where he was tortured for a long time.

In the end, he didn't ask anything.

Until his death, the other party never revealed any information that satisfied Xia Shou. It is not known whether he really didn't know or was too tight-lipped. His acting skills were so superb that he could withstand the effects of chemical drugs.

Although the female killer said that she had confessed everything, the fact was that she never mentioned the world outside the book until her death. She attributed all the reasons for the assassination to her employer, saying only that someone hired her to do these things and she knew nothing else.

The only thing that made Xia Shou clearly realize from these two assassination attempts was that there was not just one person who wanted to kill him, but there were many people who wanted to kill him, but those people were not invincible.

Su Yue sat in the driver's seat, staring at the time on her mobile phone. Beads of sweat oozed from her palms that were gripping the steering wheel, and her heart was beating slightly faster than at rest.

It’s almost there, it’s almost the end, finally the last step!

There is still half an hour before the press conference. Turning on the live broadcasts of major platforms, some related media have already started warming up. The independent AI developed by Liu Yilong is currently the most discussed topic online.

One can imagine what kind of sensation it would cause when they killed Liu Yilong on the spot.

Oh, by the way, if netizens knew that the murderer was a teenage idol who was declared dead fifteen years ago, how would they feel?

This thought flashed through Su Yue's mind, and then even she couldn't help laughing.

She knew that this was impossible. She was already dead in the notice, and even if she was indeed Su Yue, the official would not acknowledge it.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yue reached out and pushed Xia Shou in the back seat.

"Brother Xia Shou, wake up."
