Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 798 Before Dinner
Jiang Wengao was stunned for a moment, then smiled innocently: "Hey, Brother Shou."

Xia Shou quietly moved to Jiang Wengao's side and smiled, "Xiao Gao, why didn't you speak in the group chat before?"

"No! I told you so."

"I mean, before, the topic of the pillars of the world didn't interest you?"

"Oh! This! I didn't know, so when I saw you asked, I checked the archives immediately. Although it was a rumor, the archival information was quite interesting, and I was a little fascinated by it." Jiang Wengao answered casually, trying to cover up the topic lightly.

How could he not know the Pillar of the World? The nickname Pillar of the World seemed pretty cool to him!
It can be said that anyone with this title in the game is equivalent to the strongest normal human being.

When the player enters the game, there is actually no pillar at that point in time. The thirteen pillars of the Council of Scepters died one after another in the decades before the game began. When the player enters, the closest person to a pillar is only Su Yue.

There are also texts in the game showing that the Control Bureau once wanted to confer this title on Su Yue, but was rejected because this honorary title was meaningless in her opinion. It was impossible for a pillar with only one person to support the entire world, which violated the original meaning of the title.

As for the many pillars who have passed away, the experience stories of many of them are recorded very clearly, while some of the pillars are only mentioned in passing. The typical one with a clear experience is their own elder sister Mo Ying.

However, Mo Ying's title of pillar of the world is very controversial, because when she was fighting alongside another pillar, the latter was seriously injured and about to die, so he gave his name to Mo Ying. In the end, Mo Ying also died together with that powerful enemy.

In other words, from the time she received the title of Pillar of the World to her death, perhaps only a few hours had passed, and the title was just a passing remark over her head.

You must know that after the pillars of the human world are recognized for their strength and are given the title of Pillar, they will undergo a series of top-secret ceremonies to further enhance their strength. Only after completing various ceremonies can they truly become Pillars. Mo Ying, who died soon after obtaining the title, obviously did not have this opportunity, so she was only recognized, but her actual strength should not be up to the Pillar level.

Moreover, the enemy that Mo Ying killed had been seriously injured by a pillar before, so the record of dying together afterwards was somewhat unworthy of the reputation, and it could be said that he took advantage of an opportunity.

However, in the forum, there is also a group of "Kingologists" who hold an opposite view. Because the enemy that Mo Ying and the pillar defeated together was an abnormal body named [The Angry King]. Multiple texts have proved that this [The Angry King] is actually the common dangerous abnormal body [The Howler]. But for some reason, the records refer to this type of abnormality that can be contained by a second-level finisher as [The Angry King].

Moreover, the name [King of Wrath] has been mentioned many times in other texts. Many powerful and highly intelligent abnormal beings have spoken highly of [King of Wrath], calling it a plague that can lead to the end of mankind.

Therefore, although Mo Ying teamed up with a Pillar to kill the Angry King, and had no other battle record comparable to that of the Pillar, because of the extraordinary combat power demonstrated by the Angry King in many texts, there is reason to suspect that even if Mo Ying has not undergone the ceremony, he possesses the strength of a pillar of the human world.

In short, Jiang Wengao knew a lot of information about the Pillars of the Human World, but he didn't know whether he should tell it or not, because he knew that the confidentiality level of the Pillars of the Human World was very high. Although the Control Bureau now allows employees to discuss it casually, if someone really begins to believe in the existence of the Pillars of the Human World and starts to put the investigation into action, then the Control Bureau will take corresponding measures.

Memory modification and thought adjustment are standard. If I tell Xia Shou the truth about the pillar of the human world, there is no guarantee what he will do. If he is discovered by the higher-ups, he will definitely be investigated. When that happens, I will be implicated and brainwashed as well. That would be bad.

Jiang Wengao thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Shou, you seem to care a lot about the Pillar of the World. How come you really met one? Could it be someone pretending to be you? The files say that there are many people pretending to be the Pillar of the World."

"I'm just a little curious suddenly, nothing more." Xia Shou felt that Xiao Gao must know something, but he had no way of prying the other person open his mouth.

The door opened again, and Su Yue and Su Weiyu walked in together. "Am I not late?" Su Yue greeted everyone one by one, took out a gift box from her bag and handed it to Huiyu, "You must be Huiyu, just call me Sister Su Yue, this is a gift from my sister to you."

"Thank you, sister." Huiyu looked well-behaved.

After delivering the gift, Su Yue greeted the others, and then naturally approached Xia Shou, raised her hand and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Xia Shou, you look good~"

Xia Shou stared at the other person's face. That gentle, friendly, polite and reserved smile, just like usual, maintained the perfect idol image. The acting was so perfect that there was no flaw.

If Xia Shou had not seen what she looked like when she grew up, he would never have equated the paper bag girl he met in the hotel with Su Yue.

Even now, Xia Shou couldn't imagine how Su Yue's face in front of him would make that kind of sound. The contrast between the two styles was too great, making it impossible for him to develop reasonable imagination.

"A Shou, help me get a drink." Su Weiyu, who was standing next to Su Yue, said.

Su Weiyu wore a baseball cap, a belly-baring vest and shorts today. You can clearly see her abs revealed by the high-intensity physical exercise. It can be seen that since she took the martial arts secret book, she has also started to pay attention to exercise.

It has to be said that Wei Yu was dressed very fashionably today, but Xia Shou knew that she didn't spend much time putting together this. From the subtle difference in the size of the clothes, she knew that this should be Su Yue's clothes. She was just too lazy to think about it, so she just found a set from Su Yue's closet.

Xia Shou took a secret look and found that Su Weiyu's figure was a little sexier than Su Yue's at this stage. He just didn't know what she would look like in the future. It was really exciting to think about it.

"A Shou? Help me get a Coke." Su Weiyu reminded again.

Xia Shou then handed the Coke on the table to the other person.

He looked around and saw that some people had already started having fun. Mo Ying was operating the song-ordering tablet. Wuyin Goro got a few dice and dice cups from somewhere and had already started counting the number of gamblers.

Baihe was holding Huiyu aside and talking to him like a father.

Ke Hen and Li Ming came in from outside again, and no one knew what they were talking about.

Finally, Xia Shou saw Shangguan Yan. She was sitting on the sofa trying out Kirigakure Goro's dice, looking at the digital watch on her wrist from time to time.

The minister looked the same as usual, but Xia Shou remembered that she didn't wear a watch before.
