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

Shen Qin was greatly alarmed.

But she soon realized that this was not entirely "out of control"; the thought of "protecting Xu Shi" still lingered in her heart, or rather, in her mind.

Surprisingly, she felt a sense of pleasure from successfully stopping the assassination attempt on his behalf.

How can it be? !

This is the enemy who killed his brother, someone he wishes he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!

At this point, how could she not react?

This is probably how he transformed himself!

So... he wanted to forcefully change his mindset in this way?

Shen Qin gritted her teeth. This was indeed the bastard's style. But what was even more infuriating was that the small reward of candy brought about by the release of dopamine in her brain was not so easy to resist.

"……interesting."

Having failed to strike once, the man in black took a few steps back and stood firm, a hint of amusement in his voice, "I didn't expect you to have such a master by your side. I underestimated you."

Who's on his side!

Shen Qin wanted to defend herself, but under the semi-forced thinking, she found that all she could do was bite the bullet and become Xu Shi's bodyguard.

...Fine, I'll just take it out on this man in black first!

Before she could think too much, Shen Qin's eyes turned bloodshot, and she activated "Blood Burning Release." With a low roar, she instantly engaged the man in black in battle.

The man in black was no weakling; with a blade in hand, every move he made was aimed at Shen Qin's vitals.

However, Shen Qin is no pushover either; in her "blood-burning liberation" state, her physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

More importantly, with the help of her self-healing ability, as long as she avoids lethal attacks, other injuries, even if she endures them, will not be a big deal for her.

For a time, it was difficult for the two to determine a winner.

"Come on, Ms. Shen Qin, I'm so scared~"

Xu Shi, meanwhile, pulled Jiang Chengcheng and Gu Yi aside to watch the show, while making a cheeky remark under his breath.

You're afraid of the Bull Demon's Special Offer!

Shen Qin cursed under her breath, but deep down she couldn't help wanting to fight the man in black for a while longer.

It wasn't for any other reason than that the longer I protected Xu Shi, the more intense the pleasure in my body became, just like sex, making me unable to stop.

Amidst the glint of swords and the clash of blades, the sounds of swords clashing and clattering, and the sounds of moans and groans.

"...Okay, okay, stop now."

After watching the show for a while, Xu Shi waved his hand and said, "The test results are good. You've worked hard, Wuyou."

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately withdrew his attack and removed his mask—who else could it be but Xia Wuyou?

?

Others might not recognize Xia Wuyou, but Shen Qin knew her very well. Upon seeing this, she immediately understood everything, but she also stopped moving as if out of control.

"Honestly, making me do these boring things with you first thing in the morning is so annoying."

Xia Xiaomao took off her mecha and pretended to be annoyed.

After all that commotion last night, my body is still weak, and you're already making people do the work? What kind of big capitalist is that?

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Shi tenderly pulled her into his arms, saying, "Who told you to be the only one who could help me test her?"

"...You wish! Don't think that doing this to me will make me submit to you!"

Shen Qin covered her arm and angrily rebuked the two adulterers.

"I have no intention of making you submit to me."

Xu Shi looked at her and smiled, "I told you long ago, if I can't have your heart, I'll still have your body."

"However, I still want to ask you a question."

He added, "Do you remember what your brother said to you when you were in prison?"

Of course I remember!

Shen Qin could never forget that scene, when her brother risked his life to give her a chance to live, and told her to...

What did I want again?

The girl was suddenly startled.

Why... can't she remember?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 199 Don't you even understand the basic etiquette of apologizing?

Shen Qin panicked.

How could I not remember anything about my brother?

Those should be her most precious memories—she loved sticking close to Shen He since she was little, and the wonderful times she spent with her brother were always the driving force that kept her going during those years as one of the "Forgotten Ones".

Whenever she thinks about those things, she feels that even the most difficult things can be overcome with ease.

The same was true after she reunited with her brother. Although the siblings had lost their childhood innocence, this made their few moments together even more precious.

But now, she can't remember? No matter how hard she tries to recall, her mind is a complete blur.

This made her a little nervous. Although Xu Shi didn't mention any pleasant memories, it didn't mean she wanted to forget them—she didn't want to forget a single detail about her brother.

"It was you! You did it, didn't you?!"

At this point, how could she not understand that Xu Shi was behind it all?

Previously, her focus was entirely on whether her body had been modified, and she hadn't paid much attention to the mental aspect—she subconsciously attributed the headache and dizziness she had just experienced to the discomfort of coming out of the cabin.

"Hmm... do you mean that?"

Faced with her questioning, Xu Shi revealed a smug smile, as if to say, "You finally figured it out! To be precise, it's the 'protective mechanism' implanted in your body that's kicking in."

To be honest, I've gone to great lengths for her.

"Protection Mechanism" is a general term for the modification of Shen Qin. Its basic effect is to force her to take "protecting Xu Shi" as the main purpose through brain-computer chip and neural modification.

This is a mandatory order that can disregard personal will. Just like now, although Shen Qin was probably a hundred times unwilling, she still had to stand in front of him and protect him until the crisis was over when she saw someone attacking him.

Saying no with your mouth but your body says yes is (doge).

Of course, that's not enough. To make their interactions more fun, he added an extra element.

That is, whenever she successfully protects herself, her brain rapidly releases a large amount of dopamine, the so-called "happy hormone," which puts her into a state of extreme pleasure.

But the price is that she will forget some of her memories of Shen He.

"It's the kind of thing that's forcibly crushed, not just simply hidden away."

He explained with a smile, "It's not easy to do that, which shows how much I value you... Why don't you quickly thank Chairman Xu?"

This is truly remarkable, and can even be described as another breakthrough combining superpowers and technological means.

First of all, Xu Shi needs to lay a foundation with her own abilities. In addition to the "increase in entropy of evil thoughts" that she had planted long ago, the "implantation of victimhood intentions" is also indispensable. In addition to eliminating her resistance to herself to a certain extent, "protecting herself" is naturally a form of persecution for her. Imprinting such a mark will help with the secretion of dopamine.

Secondly, in order to achieve the aforementioned targeted effects, Jiang Chengcheng needs to install a specific brain-computer chip. As for the memory erasure and pleasure enhancement, it is necessary to ask "Prism" to perform neurosurgery on Shen Qin, which is their specialty.

It took everyone more than a month to finally complete this work.

"Thank you!"

Listening to his explanation, Shen Qin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave—Xu Shi's behavior always refreshed her understanding. Taking pleasure in doing evil, did this guy have no bottom line as a human being?

"Please understand this: you are my enemy, and also my prisoner, Miss Shen Qin."

As if seeing through her thoughts, Xu Shi said without any burden and seriously, "Prisoners should be played with by the strong. That is my principle."

"Besides, aren't you enjoying it yourself?"

"You bullshit!"

Shen Qin would certainly not admit it, but her actions betrayed her perfectly.

The gesture of covering her arm was to suppress the trembling in her body. This trembling was not only due to the exhaustion after the fierce battle with Xia Wuyou, but also due to the release of pleasure brought about by protecting Xu Shi. Her flushed face also proved this point.

The young girl was still inexperienced and didn't know that there was a professional term for this state called "orgasm," but the pleasure she felt was undeniable. If she hadn't had such strong mental fortitude, she probably would have already stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes.

"...Even so, I will never submit to you..."

Even so, she was still somewhat overwhelmed as she spoke, and her tone softened a bit.

"Then you have to hold on."

Xu Shi nodded in understanding and thoughtfully added a piece of advice, "Trying to control the dopamine rush might help... Anyway, the deeper you get involved, the faster your memories of your brother will fade."

Of course, this was just a suggestion. He knew very well that this was an irreversible process because he had already completely blocked all possibilities.

Protecting oneself is a mandatory behavior that Ms. Shen Qin cannot change no matter how hard she tries. She can only obediently accept the pleasure it brings. Her resistance to herself is based on the premise of being "victimized." Under the influence of her abilities, she will only gradually and subtly accept all of this.

The stronger her resistance, the more pleasure she experiences from the "implantation of victimhood," which in turn accelerates the process.

So, from the moment Shen Qin fell into his hands, there was only one path left for her—to gradually forget everything about Shen He, let the seed within her take root and sprout, and ultimately fall into evil.

This is somewhat similar to Lin Yue's situation, but the little assassin was completely unaware at first, while Shen Qin had to be aware of these circumstances before she was plunged into a long period of pain and struggle.

However, he wouldn't let the other party know these things, otherwise it wouldn't be fun.

"You...you demon!"

Shen Qin's mind was a mess, and she hadn't really thought about it carefully.

However, she knew Xu Shi certainly didn't mean any harm, so she blushed and sternly accused him, "One day, you will regret all these things you've done!"

"Actually, I'm starting to regret it now."

Xu Shi wasn't angry upon hearing this; he just sighed regretfully, "I kind of regret killing your brother so soon. It might have been more interesting for him to watch you slowly sink into depravity?"

That's absolutely true. Generally speaking, there's always a dramatic part where the victim is tied up and their eyes are pried open so they can see the commotion, right? Just like what I did to Xia Wuyou before... Xu Shi had considered doing that, but as the saying goes, everything has its limits. If you don't do it right, it might backfire.
