I will be a boss in the future world

Outside the study, Shi Yuan had already dried his clothes and hair and was sitting on the sofa in the rest area with his back bent.

Seeing Yuying walking towards him rubbing her hair, he turned back with a puzzled expression.

"Have you really decided to join the SDA?"

Yuying looked at him in silence and silently admitted it.

“No way…” Shi Yuan frowned even more, as if he couldn’t believe it. “Is this what you call a way to ‘save me’?”

Didn't she want to be a chaebol employee before? How did she change her mind so quickly?

Although the injury was an accident, it was just an excuse to quit TOX... I didn't expect that in just a few days -

"..."

Yuying shrugged. "At least you're alive and well now, and can run around the SDA headquarters."

and also--

"How did you know I was here? What did you mean by those words just now?"

"What do you say?"

He suddenly asked back, his expression a little angry.

"I went to your house to look for you, and heard from YC07 that you were going to join SDA, and were taken to the laboratory."

Oh, she didn’t seem to tell Xiaoqi about joining SDA before she went to work. She herself didn’t even know about it at that time.

Yuying narrowed her eyes and continued to listen to Shi Yuan.

"I ran here as fast as I could after leaving home..."

"Looking at that situation, I thought you were brainwashed by them, okay."

"..."

He patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death..."

"So the condition is - to force you to join the SDA?"

Yuying nodded.

"Is it possible that all their police officers have died and they are so short of manpower that they have no choice but to eat?"

Yuying shook her head, sighed, and explained helplessly: "No... because I am a superpower, and I am familiar with the stealing program of the virtual world, and no one cares about my life or death."

"He's very smart. He knows that if a 'criminal' like me wants to avoid being taken away for research, I have no choice but to agree to his terms. He won't refuse such an opportunity."

"I would definitely prefer my freedom to fifteen years in prison."

Shi Yuan kept clenching his fists and frowning until he finished listening to Yu Ying's explanation. He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked fierce, as if carrying a deep hatred.

"Who said no one cares?"

"If you were really killed by them..."

"I will definitely blow up their entire building regardless of the consequences!"

"..."

"What Security Bureau, Security Bureau...what SDA, TOX...they are nothing but accomplices of the NPC consortium! Running dogs of the puppet regime!"

"When have they ever been truly fair and just, caring about the lives of the lower-class people?"

"It is just a tool for the oligarchs to control the ignorant masses... In the end, it will only oppress the common people and protect the interests of the upper class."

Hearing Shi Yuan's disdainful complaints, Yu Ying looked up and out the window.

"Do you think I don't know... these sad realities?"

"Business is over-expanded, economics is far above politics, and the chaebols control the world."

At first glance, this is the glory of human social development. But upon closer inspection, it is bullshit glory. It is clearly the barbaric expansion of capital tycoons and the painful cries of ordinary people under the heavy pressure of money.

The overall environment is already bad enough, with class stratification and financial tycoons controlling resources. No one can be optimistic about such a world.

"The good times are gone..."

"Universal values ​​have been shaken, and society has lost its emotions... What else can we do?"

She lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the huge stone tablet not far away, and whispered: "It seems that except for living a humble life, everything else can only be like this... I used to think that at least our thoughts are free..."

"But the way we look at things has long been manipulated by all kinds of information... We can't hear real voices, we can't see the real world, and more and more people are addicted to the virtual world and become numb."

"They even forgot that this world is actually very big, and there are cities outside of cities... But if there is a chance, I can see more of the truth and find the method he mentioned..."

"Even if it's just a good wish, an unrealistic ideal..."

"I'm willing to try..."

"One day, I can smell the real fragrance of flowers."

Shi Yuan frowned and asked in confusion: "Him?"

He asked, "Who is he? What method?"

Shi Yuan's eyes widened: "Yuying, is there another reason why you joined SDA that I don't know?"

She retracted her gaze, turned her head and smiled mysteriously at Shi Yuan, "Anyway, don't worry. It's not convenient now. I'll tell you later."

"..."

"By the way, I want to ask you one more thing."

After hearing her answer, Yuan pouted angrily: "What?"

Yuying carefully observed the expression on Shiyuan's face and asked tentatively: "When I was a child, was I imprisoned there and rescued by someone?"

Her eyes darkened, and she said slowly, "I just saw some scenes in my dream, and they felt very familiar... I remember a man holding me and walking out of a dim room. He was young, his voice was clear, and he smelled of tobacco..."

"Do you know him? Do you know who he is?"

Shi Yuan listened to her quietly, his facial expression did not change at all, but his eyes flickered slightly, then he looked away and shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry, I have no impression."

"Although we have known each other since we were very young..."

"We studied together, grew up together, and wandered around the city together."

Shi Yuan looked at her very frankly, his eyes softening slightly: "The past days were a bit difficult, but with a companion by my side, everything went smoothly."

"But that's all I know, and I've already told you... unless it happened before I knew you, when you were younger."

is it?

Yuying sighed in disappointment, lowered her head and hesitated in silence for a while, then she chose to ask: "Then how did I know you, before I lost my memory, at the very beginning."

"I don't think you ever said that."

"..."

"At the very beginning?"

Shi Yuan was slightly stunned, and raised his head in surprise, with the same puzzled expression: "I remember you never asked me about it, as if you didn't care about it."

"Didn't I ask?"

Yuying rubbed her forehead, unable to tell for a moment whether her memory was confused or she had begun to lose the distinction between nightmares and reality.

Feeling extremely exhausted all of a sudden, Yuying shook her head and said weakly, "Maybe I lost my memory for too long. I don't want to act like a fool in front of you."

"So I naturally accepted this relationship and got used to my current life."

"..."

Suddenly, she changed the subject and said in distress, "But I clearly wandered alone when I was a child..."

"The room was cold, I was hungry, and I was scared. I felt very clear."

Thinking of the scenes in her dream, her mind became dazed again.

"From now on, we must rely on each other and work harder to survive."

"Yu Ying..."

"You are the most important person to me now."

……

"So, how did we meet?"

"Why do we stay together and live together?"

While Yuying was talking, Shi Yuan had been looking at her quietly, but his eyes were a little blurry. After a moment of silence, he smiled and lowered his head.

"The first time I saw you was on my eighth birthday."

"You were wearing a white dress, holding a small iron box, and asked me with a smile..."

"You said that there was magic in the candy and that eating it would make you happy immediately. Before I could answer, you stuffed the candy into my hand. But when I came to my senses and wanted to ask your name, you had already turned around and walked away..."

"This is the beginning, our initial encounter."

“That candy…”

"It was the only gift I received on my birthday."

“So I remember you…”

"From now on, I will treat you as my best friend."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hair in annoyance, but his eyes looked a little aggrieved.

"Are you satisfied?"

"You tricked me with a piece of candy, and you tricked me for so long."

"Yuying, you are so heartless sometimes!"

"..."

After being stunned for a moment, Yuying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"really?"

"I didn't expect you were so innocent when you were a kid that you were satisfied with just one candy."

She teased, "Now he values ​​money like his life and is extremely stingy."

“……” Shi Yuan glared at her.

"Tell me, how come you are so different after growing up?"

"You were still adorable when you were little. Luckily, I tricked you into my hands when you were little."

Hearing this, Shi Yuan paused and lowered his head slightly.

"Yu Ying..."

"Besides my companions who depend on me for life... my friends who know me well..."

"If you were to rank all the people you know in your mind..."

"Which one will I be?"

Yuying rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Are you sick? Why are you asking this?"

Shi Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled like a fox, "I suddenly want to know, I'm curious."

After thinking seriously for a moment, Yuying asked, "Does the deceased count?"

"..."

Shi Yuan glared at her angrily and said through gritted teeth: "Of course not!"

He thought for a moment and quickly added: "Except for parents, except for women, and except for AI."

Yuying looked at his slapping mouth and said speechlessly: "Why are they all excluded? There aren't many people left that I know."

An irritable Shi Yuan: "Just choose from these, can you hurry up?"

Hearing this, Yu Ying looked him up and down and curled her lips: "Then I'll put you last."

“……?!!!!”

"Why are you ranked last? Explain yourself!"

Seeing Shi Yuan's face twisted with anger, Yu Ying suppressed her smile and tried to act as if it was a matter of course: "Because you made this exception and that exception, it's obviously intentional."

She continued in a very "disdainful" tone: "Your thoughts are immature and your methods are clumsy. I will give you the last place."

"..."

Time Source——

Shi Yuan was so angry that he couldn't speak!

After a long while, he managed to utter: "Who is the first one? Do I know him?"

Yuying nodded, "Do you know him?"

"My brother!"

"My little brother, who I tricked away with a piece of candy when he was a kid!"

"..."

"Yuying, I'm older than you."

"Well, but you often call me sister."

"..."

Seeing his speechless and refutable expression, Yuying finally couldn't help laughing.

"So you're so insecure. I'm lonely now that I've just started working. If you want to act like a spoiled child with me, just say it. Isn't it stupid to beat around the bush?"

Shi Yuan: “…”

"Okay, stop being so petty. Do you still want me to coax you with candy?"

"Go away! You don't need it!"

"Hahahaha-"

While the two were arguing, a person suddenly came up behind them.

"Sorry to bother you two."

Xue Jian had a calm face: "I heard that the test is done, and the boss asked me to take you back to the TOX office to report."

"Oh yeah... I almost forgot."

Yuying immediately turned around and told Shiyuan, "Shiyuan, you go back first."

Shi Yuan immediately frowned, "What about you? Aren't you going with us?"

She shook her head. Although the TOX members had not returned from their mission, Tan Suhe asked her to report there herself, and she could not refuse. She could also get familiar with her work again.

"I officially return to work today. Unless something unexpected happens, I will still have to go to get off work and leave on time and sign in for attendance."

"..."

Shi Yuan still frowned.

Yuying raised a warm smile and advised softly: "Be obedient and go back. I'll call you when I have time."

After Shi Yuan left, Yu Ying first went to the Logistics Department to register and receive the uniform, and then followed Xue Jian to the TOX office area on the 66th floor.

During the period, they met Jin Qi, who they hadn't seen for a long time, in the elevator. He seemed to be in a bad condition, but he still greeted Yu Ying. The two were speechless for a while. Yu Ying thanked him and then they parted ways.

"His brother injured his eyes during a mission, and his abilities have been affected. The higher-ups are considering transferring him out of TAX and downgrading him to the general department of the Reconstruction Department."

Xue Jian saw the worry in Yu Ying's eyes, and out of friendship as future colleagues, he said a few words in a subtle way.

"They will all be fine after a psychiatric evaluation."

"..."

Yuying nodded, smiled slightly, and her eyes gradually calmed down.

Mental identification is actually a supernatural ability called "mental invasion". It is an ability that transcends the conventional senses and material level, allowing the user to enter the thinking and consciousness world of others.

Psychic users above level A can manipulate and penetrate the mental barriers of others and penetrate into their consciousness space. This process is similar to exploration in a virtual reality, allowing the intruder to directly access the target individual's thoughts, memories, and emotions.

Once a mental invasion is successfully carried out, the invader can manipulate and influence the thinking and behavior of the target individual. They can read the target's memory, dig out hidden information, and even change the target's perception and decision-making process.

However, mental intrusion may also bring certain risks and consequences.

Intruders need to operate with caution to avoid triggering unknown reactions in the target individual's consciousness space or damaging their mental health. The invaded individual, even if he or she is a person with special abilities, will at best become confused in consciousness, or even lose consciousness directly at worst.

No matter where you are, psychic abilities are extremely rare. At least in Yuying's memory, there has never been a psychic above level A in the Psychic Department and the Transformation Department.

Where will Jin Qi's younger brother be taken?
