Armor: I can only summon the general

Chapter 719 Long-term solution

Bing'er drank the wine in the glass. She picked up the bottle to refill it, but Xizhao stopped her.

"Why? Are you afraid that I will drink your good wine?"

She teased Xizhao with a smile, but Xizhao had already seen the drunkenness in her eyes.

"Just a couple of sips. You have to go out and meet those shadow warriors later. You look drunk."

"Haha, so what if he's drunk? Who of them dares to say anything? They didn't dare before, but they dare now?"

Bing'er's presumptuous words and arrogant appearance made Xi Zhao cover his face. It was too embarrassing. In all these years in the film industry, Bing'er had always remained cold and cautious. Xi Zhao had never seen her like this.

"Bing'er, you're already drunk. Put down your glass and drink some hot tea to sober up. I'll take you out to explain things later, and then I'll go back to the base. How can I leave this place to you with peace of mind if you're like this?"

Xizhao snatched the wine glass from Bing'er's hand, and with his other hand he reached down, ready to grab the wine bottle on the table, but at this moment, the wine bottle unexpectedly moved two inches to the right without any warning, leaving Xizhao empty-handed.

"What? Bing'er, you..."

Before Xizhao could finish his words, he saw the wine bottle on the table fly up into the air and was caught steadily by Bing'er's hand.

"This……"

The scene before him reminded Xi Zhao of the experiment that King Kai had done on Bing'er many years ago. He didn't expect that Bing'er had really mastered this ability that humans did not have, and King Kai had really succeeded.

Bing'er held the wine bottle in her right hand and glanced at the bottle mouth lightly. With a "pop" sound, the cork popped out of the bottle mouth and fell to the ground.

She raised the bottle and took a sip. The strong liquor went down her throat. Perhaps because she drank too quickly, Bing'er's cheeks turned even redder.

"Xi Zhao, although I cannot summon armor like you, it does not mean that I am powerless. I am not as weak as you think.

Since you and I have been childhood sweethearts, I must tell you a cruel truth. All your preparations and plans are actually fairy tales in books and there is no possibility of them coming true.

Your idea is nice, but you underestimate the fickleness of human hearts and the fragility of human nature. I have been exposed to these gray areas two years earlier than you, and the filthiness here is far beyond your imagination.

We grew up together, and no one in this world knows you better than me. I can tell you directly that you will never get along here with your personality.

Those people outside seem obedient on the surface. They have just left the film industry and have not yet been assimilated into this society. They have no better way out, so they work under you.

When they adapt to this society and understand the rules of the underground world, what can you do to them if they join forces to rebel and betray your original intentions? "

Bing'er's words also caused Xizhao to think. Bing'er had indeed performed some ordinary tasks for King Kai before. Xizhao didn't know the content of those tasks, and Bing'er didn't tell her. It seemed that they were not much different from what he was doing now.

Therefore, when Bing'er completely denied Xizhao's plan, Xizhao had to think about the possibility that Bing'er mentioned.

Seeing Xizhao lost in thought, Bing'er curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, then sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs on the coffee table, raised the bottle of wine and drank it sip by sip.

After a while, Bing'er saw that Xizhao was still thinking, so she interrupted him.

“What else is there to think about? I’ll tell you the answer directly. Once they are completely assimilated into this filthy place, the only thing you can do to suppress their ambitions is your strength.

You have the power to scare them, but you don't have the mindset to match it. When they betray you together, will you use your power to punish them?

Now please ask yourself, even if they have betrayed you, when you stand in front of them with your armor on, they will definitely kneel down and beg for your forgiveness. Will you still be able to kill them then?"

Hearing this, Xizhao couldn't help but look up at Bing'er, and then he saw the answer from Bing'er's face.

"You're right. I may not have the heart to do it. I don't want my armor to be stained with the blood of ordinary people, and I can't bear to kill these people who walked out of the shadow world with me. Maybe I will give them a chance to live, considering how difficult it was for them to leave the shadow world."

“Haha, in that case, the only thing that can scare them is thrown away by you yourself, and they will only become more fearless.

If you kill people without armor, they will always be afraid of your power, but when you defeat them with armor and spare them, your deterrent effect will plummet.

If others see that they can survive by betraying you, will they still be willing to work for you? I guess the fence-sitters will test your bottom line."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Bing'er's tone. She knew where Xizhao's moral bottom line was, so she could only give him a shot of prevention in this way, telling Xizhao how dirty and shameless the gray area would make people.

Xizhao thought quietly for a while, then spread his hands, sat back on the sofa helplessly, looked at Bing'er with a smile and asked:

"Then what should I do? Should I rule with high pressure like the King of the Academy? Isn't this just going back to the Shadow World?"

Bing'er smiled slightly, pointed at Xizhao with the bottle, and said softly: "If King Kai's method is effective, we won't want to leave the Shadow Realm. His method won't last long either."

Hearing this, Xi Zhao nodded in agreement and raised his hand to signal Bing'er to continue.

Bing'er didn't play any more guessing games and directly told Xizhao the answer.

“So, you need to use both kindness and force. You can’t just indulge them blindly. Sometimes you have to use some tough measures to let them know the price of betrayal, and then they will behave themselves.

You can always play the good guy, but you need someone to play the bad guy for you and act as the angry King Kong. Only by doing both can you suppress the ambitions of this group of people for a long time. "

After hearing this, Xizhao had some understanding in his mind, and he fixed his gaze on Bing'er again.

"You mean..."

"No, no, no, I don't plan to continue living like this. You should find someone else."

Bing'er directly rejected Xizhao, then took out a rolled-up piece of paper from her pocket and threw it to Xizhao.

"This is the money I've saved over the years. I don't need it now. It's all dirty money, so I'll leave it to you."

Seeing the rolls of paper with many addresses on them in front of him, Xizhao couldn't help but laugh. He took them casually, said thank you to Bing'er, then stood up and walked out. Bing'er also put down the bottle of wine in her hand and followed Xizhao out of the house.

As soon as the door opened, the shadow warriors outside immediately shut up and stood up. Seeing Xizhao and Bing'er coming out side by side, everyone seemed to have found the feeling of the shadow world.

Xi Zhao looked at everyone, Bing'er's words were still ringing in his ears, but he didn't have the heart to think about them now, so he announced in public that Bing'er would take over his position in the Night Bar.

All the shadow warriors cheered immediately and, led by Abao, applauded, welcoming Bing'er with warm applause.

In the enthusiastic atmosphere, Xi Zhao smiled and made way for Bing'er to stand in front of everyone, while he turned and walked towards the elevator, ready to rush to the ERP research room.
