In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Her attire was also quite revealing; Lin Yue swore that no sex doll in the Sixth District would have dared to dress like that before!

And what's with the collar around her neck?

"This, you..."

Lin Yue was so shocked that she couldn't even speak.

"Come on, say hello to your good sister."

Xu Shi tugged at the rope and smiled knowingly.

"Um... Sister... Hello..."

For some reason, Lin Xing was panting as she spoke, her face flushed an unnatural red, and her greetings were somewhat perfunctory.

"That's rude of you. Fight properly."

Xu Shi frowned and patted her on the back. "She came here specifically to pick you up. Pack your things and go with her."

"Um……?"

Lin Xing, as if drunk, was a beat slow to react. After a moment, she shook her head vigorously, "I...I don't want to go back...I want to stay here..."

"Lin Xing! What's wrong with you?!"

Lin Yue called out anxiously, "It's me! It's my sister! What are you talking about?!"

"I...I know..."

Lin Xing wore a fawning smile. "But I'm sorry, sister, I'd much rather stay here and serve Lord Xu Shi than 'Spark'."

"Because, she's become the kind of person who can't live without him..."

As she spoke, she rubbed against Xu Shi's leg, behaving like a well-behaved puppy.

"...Xu Shi! You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Seeing her beloved younger sister like this, Lin Yue could no longer control herself and charged at him with a low shout.

She had considered that a similar situation might occur, but thinking about it and seeing it are two different things.

She had promised not to touch her! She even went so far as to personally deliver Shen He into the hands of this devil for all of this!

This is definitely not the ending she wanted to see!

Seeing that she was contemplating murder, Xu Shi remained nonchalant, only loosening his grip on the rope. "Go ahead, let your sister calm down."

"Yes~"

Lin Xing stood up, took a step forward, and easily subdued Lin Yue.

"I'm sorry, sister, but this is what Lord Xu Shi ordered, so I have no choice but to obey."

The truth is that Lin Yue is no match for her. Firstly, Miss Lin Xing is a cyborg who has undergone combat-level modifications, especially since Jiang Chengcheng personally oversaw her transformation. In terms of combat power, she is already a top-tier individual. Otherwise, how could she have won those previous territorial battles in Sin City so easily?

Furthermore, Lin Yue has no weapons on her, and her camouflage ability, which is merely an invisibility ability, can significantly enhance her combat power.

Most importantly, her mind was in turmoil, and that alone was enough to determine everything.

"Xu Shi, you broke your promise!"

Forced to kneel on the ground by her younger sister, Lin Yue roared uncontrollably, "You promised that as long as I did what you said, you would let her go!"

Where did I break my promise?

Xu Shi crossed his legs and spread his hands, "Didn't I ask her to go back with you? I told you before, she might not be willing."

"That's because you turned her into this!"

Lin Yue struggled fiercely, trying to look up at Lin Xing, "Lin Xing, wake up, let me go!"

"You'd better behave yourself, sister~"

Lin Xing remained unmoved, and his gaze towards her even held a hint of indifference.

It was this indifference that caused Lin Yue's mind to go completely blank.

She had never seen her sister with such an expression before; it always felt like someone she used to spend every day with had suddenly become a stranger…

Or rather, something I've always cherished has been destroyed and shattered once again.

"Why...why did this have to happen?"

She was momentarily at a loss, her body went limp, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

"why?"

Xu Shi smiled and got up, then went over to help the dazed woman up.

"Because...that's just how things are."

He and Lin Xing said in unison, "It's not that I forcibly changed anything, but that you never changed anything."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue looked up in surprise, staring at the two people on her left and right, feeling momentarily stunned.

"Don't you understand yet, Miss Lin Yue?"

Xu Shi gently wiped away her tears, saying, "Your good sister was originally sent by me to help you."

"It has always been this way from beginning to end."

Lin Xing smiled and continued the conversation, straightening her clothes for her.

"This……"

Lin Yue felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in her mind.

Although she was taken aback, she wasn't so much incapable of thinking. Seeing this scene, she suddenly understood everything.

This is no ordinary case of planting spies; it's obvious they are the same person—more specifically, Xu Shi has been manipulating Lin Xing, accompanying her from the beginning, step by step, to where she is today.

This isn't a particularly rare technique, so there's nothing surprising about it.

What truly confirmed this for her was her sudden recollection of her sister's behavior when they first met, a behavior that seemed strangely familiar.

She did have some doubts at the time, but they gradually faded away...

But pushing back further, she suddenly realized that if that were the case, then when she was imprisoned and played with by Xu Shi, the sight of Lin Xing being reformed and tortured was also something he had arranged long ago.

It turns out that everything was already destined from that time on.

She had always been under Xu Shi's control and had never escaped even a little bit.

"...So you understand everything?"

Xu Shi smiled with satisfaction.

"You...you broke your promise! You said you'd wait for the day I could get my revenge on you..."

Lin Yue stammered unconsciously, her voice growing weaker and weaker.

"This doesn't conflict with me sending someone to your side, does it?"

Xu Shi said seriously, "Our agreement didn't say I couldn't do this... Besides, to put it bluntly, if I hadn't helped you, what do you think you would be like now?"

The assassin girl remained silent.

This is a fact she really doesn't want to admit—the rise of "Spark" that she leads only began after Lin Xing came. Before that, let's not even mention it. There were only a dozen or so people and seven or eight guns, and it was difficult to even make a living.

That's why she has special feelings for Lin Xing, and the origin of these feelings is her reliance on her, which later gradually evolved into a feeling similar to kinship.

But if Lin Xing is being manipulated by Xu Shi, then to whom should this affection be directed? To her sister? Or to the devil before her?

In a daze, she suddenly felt that this guy wasn't so hateful anymore... The truth is, hatred for him always disappears without her realizing it, no matter how strong it is. That's his ability, but the problem is that she has already gotten used to it.

"So, what are you trying to do by telling me all this now?"

Lin Yue crossed her arms, her voice trembling slightly.

"It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do."

Xu Shi shook his finger. "The decision is still yours. You can leave now, taking Lin Xing with you is fine, or whatever you want to do is also up to you, no problem."

What... do I want to do?

This seemed to be a question Lin Yue had never considered before, and only after Xu Shi brought it up did she belatedly realize it.

But after reflecting on her inner thoughts and sorting through her emotions one by one, she discovered that her strongest emotion deep inside was...

■Desire, and obedience.

This seems a bit strange, but upon closer inspection, it's not strange at all—she had a morbid longing to be bullied by Xu Shi, and had spent countless days and nights like that before.

Forget whether Xu Shi intentionally guided her through Lin Xing, just tell me whether she did it or not.

With these emotions building up inside all this time, plus Su Lin's seductive move just now... it would be strange if it weren't for these feelings.

Or perhaps it's a form of escapism, because from this perspective, it seems like I gave up Shen He for Xu Shi, right? Even if I don't want to admit it, that's still the case.

In other words, you've already been subtly eroded by it all along, haven't you?

and so.

Realizing this, Lin Yue knelt down.

At the same time, the shackles in her heart were also broken.

"……Owner."

She felt no shame at uttering those words; instead, she felt a sense of relief and comfort.

"Evil thoughts increase entropy," and the closed loop is complete.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 181 Are you guys ever going to stop?!

Lin Yue's psychological defenses collapsed more quickly than expected.

Or perhaps this was all expected—the seeds of "increased entropy of evil thoughts" had already been sown and were growing vigorously... Earlier, Lin Xing, no, Xu Shi had told her that as long as she could distinguish between dreams and reality, that would be fine. But in reality, regardless of whether the little assassin sister could control this line, her comforting behavior was catalyzing the seeds in her heart to take root and sprout.

and so.
