Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 698 One Person’s Choice Question

Xia Shou never forgot the conversation between the gods in the moonlit woods.

The control bureau and everyone knows that writers are a serious threat now, and everyone is targeting the writers.

The Control Bureau wants to kill the writer, while those free and extraordinary people want to check and balance it and force the Control Bureau to compromise so that they can leave the reflection world safely.

But no one knew that in addition to the writer, there was also a person with great potential for ascension when the divine law descended this time - the painter.

The conversation in the woods cannot be told to anyone, so Xia Shou is the only one left to stop the painter from ascending. However, until now, he is still confused about the content of the conversation with the gods.

Although he already had a conclusion in his mind, due to the lack of the key secret, he forgot the logic behind his conclusion and what it represented. He only knew that the painting carried by Mr. Sun, who kidnapped Huiyu, should be of a boy who looked very much like Bai Xue, about the same age as Huiyu.

This conclusion should not be wrong, but the final result is not so.

The painting only showed an untied chain in the dark... This was totally inconsistent with his predictions.

If it were a normal situation, he could review his thoughts to see where he went wrong, but now due to the lack of reasoning materials, he had to ask Jiang Wengao to repeat the secret again.

"Um, where should I start? Let me think, I'm a time traveler..."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Wengao repeated the secret he had once told. When he finished spreading the secret and forgot what he had said, he found that Xia Shou had fallen into deep thought again.

"This is troublesome. If there wasn't that person with special abilities who can manipulate light, these things would be easier to handle." Xia Shou looked tired.

"Brother Shou, what are you talking about?"

“When we were at Tianyu Mansion before, Ke Hen encountered obstacles in his tracing back because there was a camouflage-type psychic who hid the figures of Lin Tiandong and the others after they got off the car, making it impossible for us to continue tracking.

The same thing happened after the raid began. The first group of ambushers we encountered also appeared suddenly in front of us. Before that, they had all been hidden.

Moreover, even after that group of people were exposed, many of them continued to exist in the form of illusions. It can be said that the camouflage-type psychic who had been disturbing us had never shown up in front of us from beginning to end.

It’s hard to find each other.”

"Indeed, but why him?"

"I can't tell you." Xia Shou shook his head.

The restrictions of the divine law of secrecy are really fucked up. They make a simple thing become restricted in every way.

If a secret can only be known by one person forever, then a series of actions centered on this secret are destined to be carried out by only one person, unless everyone else can unconditionally cooperate with the only person who knows the secret.

Of course, ordinary secrets, as long as they are made up by oneself, can still be thought of and manufactured in batches, just like Modice deduced the hidden meaning behind the divine law. As long as you think fast enough, you can continuously increase the number of people who know the secret.

But the secret in Xia Shou's heart involves the conversation in Moonlight Glade and Xiao Gao's background as a time traveler, neither of which can be spoken out loud.

This meant that he was destined to be unable to tell others the complete reasoning process of this secret.

Xia Shou could almost imagine what would happen if he told this secret to others.

Tell the secret to Xiao Gao and let Xiao Gao kill Hui Yu?
Let him kill Brother Bai’s only relative, Bai Xue’s only son?
If he really did that, Xiao Gao would be beaten to death by Brother Bai.

If you are lucky enough, Brother Bai will ask you why.

But what would Xiao Gao say then?

Xia Shou recalled the scene in his mind. Jiang Wengao would definitely say, "Brother Shou said that! Brother Shou said Huiyu is no longer Huiyu, he has become Naganuma Jusaburo!"

Then, Brother Bai will definitely continue to ask the reason.

Humph, the answer is that there is no reason, and none of this can be explained.

Xia Shou's reasoning was based entirely on the conversation with the gods under the moonlight, and that conversation must never be leaked.

Moreover, even Natsumori himself felt that this was wrong. How could he kill that child? Was that Naganuma Jusaburo?

In Xia Shou's opinion, that is not the case at all!
but……

The whole city...

Includes everyone.

There was him, Wei Yu, Su Yue, the Minister, Ke Hen, Xiao Gao...even the child was no exception.

This is a multiple-choice question, and one that only he can answer.

Because no one else can see the question.

"Brother Shou, you look very unhappy, don't scare me." Jiang Wengao panicked when he saw Xia Shou's gloomy expression.

"Xiao Gao."

"here I am."

"If I ask you to kill that white-haired child, will you go?" Xia Shou asked blankly.

Jiang Wengao was stunned, staring at Xia Shou in disbelief, as if he suspected he had misheard, and asked again: "You mean..."

Xia Shou nodded.

"That's Brother Bai's illegitimate son! You want me to kill him?!" Jiang Wengao asked, pointing at his nose.

Although this misunderstanding was outrageous, Xia Shou could understand it. Anyone who saw the child and didn't know the inside story would subconsciously think that he was Bai He's son.

He was too lazy to explain this. This information should be considered a secret. Telling it out would only make his reasoning puzzle less complicated.

Moreover, this misunderstanding is not actually wrong. After all, in Baihe's eyes, the child is no more important than his own son.

"Why?" Jiang Wengao asked in confusion.

"What if I say there is no reason?" Xia Shou said.

At this moment, Jiang Wengao was feeling a million "fucks" in his heart. He was totally unable to understand this big brother's train of thought. Everyone was carrying out the mission well, but suddenly he said he wanted to kill his teammate's son, and he didn't even have a reason. Who could stand this?

"I really can't understand this. I feel that even if it's a secret, you have to let me know the reason first, otherwise... otherwise I..."

Jiang Wengao looked at Xia Shou with some fear, gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, even if you let someone else go, I will go and tell Brother Bai!"

Hearing this, Xia Shou was a little surprised. He looked at the other party in surprise and suddenly laughed.

"Not bad." Xia Shou smiled and nodded without comment.

If he knew nothing, he would give the same answer as Xiao Gao.

In fact, if you really want to kill Huiyu, what's the difficulty?
If we really put it into practice and let Wei Yu do this, the probability of success will be very high.

Even if Wei Yu was not allowed to come, if he only told the minister, the minister might believe him.

Xia Shou has always felt that Shangguan Yan has an unparalleled, indescribable sharp intuition. If he tells the other party about this matter, even if there is no reason and only one conclusion, he believes that the minister will still make the correct judgment.

But is this really good?
This even goes against the regulatory authorities' usual principles.

Naganuma Jusaburo... this guy is a complete bastard.
