435: Chapter 5 The Shiyu Family (Part 1)_3 435: Chapter 5 The Shiyu Family (Part 1)_3 “No wonder she always talks about justice!” Gongsun Ce realized suddenly, “I was wondering why she would study in Alandia.
That chilling sensation quietly returned, carrying unforgettable memories.
Gongsun Ce tightened his body and hastily asked, “Who’s next?”
In the room of Shiyu Spirit Temple, several sinister mainframes flickered with blue lights.
Clad in a helmet-like goggle, she was engaged in a networked game of virtual chess.
“Good afternoon, Lianyi brother~ Good afternoon, sir whom I’ve only met in the divination~”
Despite still wearing the helmet, the frail girl greeted them as if she knew of their arrival beforehand.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Shiyu Spirit Temple, I am Gongsun Ce,” the Superpower User greeted formally, “I heard you are still working?”
“That’s right,” Shiyu Spirit Temple replied softly, “It’s a matter of great importance for the nation.”
While working, she played chess and talked with the two men.
Multitasking seemed to pose no challenge for her at all.
“Spirit Temple, I came today to confirm something with you,” Shiyu Lianyi said seriously, “Are you sure you still want to work for the Martial Arts Association?”
“I’d be delighted to,” Spirit Temple replied, manipulating the chessboard with dazzling speed, “Zero Island has over 170 million ordinary people, and working to protect them is something that makes Spirit Temple stand proud.”
After her brainwashing was removed, understanding the current situation, and having ample time to think, the girl still chose to return to her original life, which seemed quite incomprehensible to ordinary people.
“Look, Miss Spirit Temple,” Gongsun Ce couldn’t help but interject, “I know it’s not good for an outsider like me to say this, but you could consider your own affairs a bit more.”
Gongsun is also fighting for others this time, and Spirit Temple as well,” Shiyu Spirit Temple replied leisurely, “Moreover, I really love this job.”
Gongsun Ce spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.
This child’s dedication was truly beyond expectation—who had she learned this from?
“But…” Shiyu Spirit Temple added, “I’ve been eyeing a new type of goggles recently and hope the salary could be slightly raised.
Also, having about one day off per month would make work more efficient.”
“You should have at least two days off per week,” Shiyu Lianyi stated firmly.
These Shiyu family members all were quite strong-willed.
“2, 3, 4, 6, 7…16, next is Seventeen…” Gongsun Ce scratched his head, “How come there are some missing in between?
Not to mention, where is your family’s fifth?”
“Some went ‘missing’ or shall we say escaped during missions, and their whereabouts are still under investigation.
I suspect they may have been secretly dispatched beyond Zero Island,” Shiyu Lianyi pondered, “There’s still an investigation going on; perhaps it might help us find the accomplices of Shiyu Genmi.”
“Good thinking, let me know if there’s any news.
By the way, have you used the reward from the King of Destiny?” Gongsun Ce pushed his glasses up, “I had my dice and papers sent to Mr.
Will for inspection, and they haven’t returned them to me yet.”
“That…” Shiyu Lianyi looked oddly, “I still don’t know whether to use it.
We’ll talk about it tonight.”
The two approached Shiyu Shiqi’s room door and knocked three times.
The voice was so sweet it was cloying, giving both men an inexplicable shudder.
Gongsun Ce’s mind was filled with bizarre speculations for a moment—whatever was this kid up to now?
They opened the door with the caution of a special forces team rescuing hostages, cautiously peering inside.
But inside, bunches of fresh flowers bloomed, vines and roses climbing the walls, the air filled with the scent of milk and honey.
Shiyu Shiqi sat in a chair woven from flowers, wearing a black dress, her feet tapping, her face full of a joyful smile.
A woman with long black hair sat opposite Shiyu Shiqi, holding a book titled “The Great Anthology of Classic World Fairy Tales.”
“The big bad wolf blew down the first little pig’s straw house…” Shiyu Ling read lazily, “then the pig pulled out a shotgun and a meat saw from the basement.
Tonight, the pig would join the hunt.”
“Sister, is that how the story originally goes?”
“It’s appropriately modified to add some interest.”
Shiyu Ling set down the book, casting a sidelong glance at the two men.
“What’s with that expression?
Shiyu Lianyi wisely chose to remain quiet, while his good friend lacked the quick-witted tact.
“It’s terrible, there’s a ghost!” Gongsun Ce exclaimed, “Her actions are so abnormal, there must be a ghost possessing Shiyu Ling!!”
