Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 829 Borrowing [Bystander]

As Zhang Heping continued to tell the story of the First King, a vague silhouette image emerged in everyone's mind.

After hearing these stories, others, including Xia Shou, also had a more accurate guess.

It is very likely that Solard took advantage of the split in people's traditional perception of men in order to achieve the purpose of naming or even acting on behalf of others. However, Solard died in the end, which is a bit confusing.

Is Sorad dead or not? This is a question that cannot be proven. There is no shortage of people in the supernatural world who pretend to be dead but still survive.

In addition, there is one more point that needs to be noted. The birth of a cyclic history is almost always due to agency. Only great achievements such as promotion to agency will lead to the emergence of cyclic history. So who is the ascended agent in the Scar Era?

Although the situation was shrouded in mystery, they could no longer keep Zhang Heping here to continue questioning him. Time was more precious than gold now.

Ke Hen, with a tired look on his face, followed Zhang Heping out. Several people from the logistics department had been waiting for them outside the door. Next, they would be transported by the logistics department to the entrance of the history tree where Zhang Heping arrived in the modern era, where there would be fast-travelers who were urgently transferred to the modern era waiting for them.

Seeing that Ke Hen was about to leave, the last chance was right in front of him. Xia Shouyi clenched his fist and said to Shangguan Yan in a firm tone: "Minister, I still need to talk to him alone! I have a few more words to say to Ke Hen!"

Shangguan Yan sighed heavily and glanced at Xia Shou: "How long will it take?"

"One hour."

"Too long, fifteen minutes. Also, you can't be left alone together, I have to be present. Your abilities are sometimes unstable, so it's safer for me to be by your side." Shangguan Yan made the final decision.

Xia Shou was stunned at first, but soon understood the other party's intention.

He knew that the minister must have guessed what he was thinking.

The second half of her sentence was meaningful. It seemed like a request, but in fact it was more like a reason to make his request reasonable.

It’s not so much a reason as it is used to reassure other leaders.

Shangguan Yan stood up and pointed at Ke Hen and Zhang Heping: "You follow me."

Xia Shou hurriedly caught up with the other party and glanced at the others when he went out. The expressions of the other ministers were very subtle and no one knew what they were thinking.

Shangguan Yan silently took the lead and walked in front, thinking about what to do in the future. What she just said was for others to hear.

She herself didn't actually care what Xia Shou wanted to do, but it was impossible for others not to care.

It is estimated that in their eyes, Xia Shou's position has also begun to become uncertain. After all, Xia Shou's possessed spirit is suddenly related to the adoptive mother of the King of Split a thousand years ago, and no one knows what this relationship is specifically.

Just this point alone makes strong interpersonal relationships become somewhat delicate, to the point where one needs to be cautious and guard against them.

Even though Xia Shou had done so much for the Control Bureau, and the Divine Law War just now prevented a named ritual to destroy the city, it could not make them stop being on guard against Xia Shou.

This is normal and completely understandable.

Having been a minister in the Control Bureau for so many years, she knew very well what others would think because she thought the same thing about others.

Since the establishment of the Control Bureau, there has never been a shortage of cases of employees suddenly rebelling.

Many times, employees’ betrayal has nothing to do with their ideas or positions, but is simply a result of conflicts of interest.

This contradiction is irreconcilable and difficult to prevent.

As extraordinary people, many people have unknown secrets. Most of the time, these secrets will not conflict with the control bureau's operational philosophy. However, when conflicts occur, employees can only follow their own hearts.

Just like her.

She has made far more contributions to the Control Bureau than Xia Shou over the years, and is also more trusted by the top management than Xia Shou, but she knows that the top management is also wary of her. Shangguan Yan understands and even thinks this is right, because she knows very well what she will do if the time comes to make a decision.

If she needed to betray the Control Bureau for Xia Shou's sake, she wouldn't blink an eye and wouldn't hesitate for even a second.

Betrayals like this have occurred countless times since the establishment of the Control Bureau, and all management levels are very experienced in dealing with such things.

This is the unsolvable chain of suspicion within the Control Bureau. Even if everyone is a comrade-in-arms who shares life and death and fights side by side, no one knows whether the other party will betray the organization and friends tomorrow for a reason that is more important to them.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the top management to be wary of employees. It can even be said that such "distrust" of employees is a form of "responsibility" to all employees.

Therefore, Shangguan Yan understood other people's worries, because if she were in their shoes, she would also have doubts and worries.

And the reason she said those words in public just now was to make them feel that Xia Shou was completely under her control, as obedient as a dog with a barbed chain tied around its neck.

Fang Yulong and the others had no objection and allowed them to occupy Zhang Heping's precious time, which was already very considerate of them.

Not long after, Shangguan Yan stopped outside the door of the special interrogation room, gave Zhang Heping a look, asked him to go in first, and said to Xia Shou: "You want to borrow Ke Hen's special ability?"

Xia Shou nodded.

"You're too hasty. Originally, I arranged for you to do this in the car." Shangguan Yan sighed.

"Minister, have you thought about it a long time ago?"

"Why do you think I can't think of it? I was the one who arranged your supernatural power lending before the underworld. As a boss, I must maximize the abilities of my subordinates.

Let’s get started now, and hurry up.”

Ke Hen extended his hand to Xia Shou: "Senior, come on."

It seems that Lian Ke Hen had already made arrangements in advance.

Xia Shou held the hand that Ke Hen extended, borrowed twenty minutes of supernatural powers from Ke Hen, then turned and walked into the special interrogation room that could shield against abnormalities.

When Zhang Heping saw Xia Shou coming in, he very cooperatively asked, "What should I do?"

"You don't have to do anything. Just sit there, close your eyes and cover your ears." Xia Shou made a few unnecessary requests, then walked around behind Zhang Heping and activated [Bystander].

For a moment, Xia Shou's perspective seemed to be pulled upwards, and he was suspended above them like a ghost.

He could see himself, and also see Zhang Heping, who was sitting on a stool with his ears plugged and his eyes closed.

Xia Shou instinctively understood how to use [Bystander]. He quickly pulled the non-existent "progress bar" and immediately saw himself walking out of the interrogation room. Zhang Heping stood up from his chair.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Heping also walked out and came to the room where they had talked about Solard before. He walked backwards to the seat where he had sat before and began to recount what he had just said in reverse order.

Xia Shou increased the speed of rewinding, and soon his perspective followed Zhang Heping out of the interrogation room. He saw Zhang Heping eating, talking to someone alone, and then returning to yesterday.

He saw Zhang Heping sitting in an independent interrogation room, being interrogated by him and No. 58 on the other side. As the experience kept replaying, Xia Shou finally came to the isolation field.

Amidst a large number of broken limbs of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, Zhang Heping was resurrected from the state of slaughtered animals and meat paste.

Then... the rewind suddenly got stuck!

Xia Shou opened his eyes wide.

He was surprised to find that Zhang Heping's life could not go back here!
