I will be a boss in the future world

The atmosphere in the cramped and small room was extremely depressing, as if even the air was frozen. Two men sat opposite each other with a table between them. They just sat there in silence, and no one spoke a word.

A man wearing a black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets, leaned back slightly, leaning on the slightly shaky chair. His face was expressionless, his eyes were cold and indifferent, revealing an elusive aura.

The other one sat opposite with his head lowered and buried in his arms, making it impossible for others to see his face and expression at the moment.

The only sounds in the room were the two people's gentle breathing and the occasional sound of wind coming from the window.

After a long time, the man with his head lowered let out a long sigh, and the exhaled air disappeared in the cold room like smoke. He raised his head and smiled slightly, looking at the person in front of him in a friendly manner, but the smile on his face seemed a little bitter and helpless.

"Thank you for telling me this."

Yan took his hand out of his pocket and casually placed it on the table, saying in a flat voice: "What do you feel?"

"Do you feel it?"

Xuan Luo was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head slightly.

"Listening to your words, imagining the tone and look of her voice when she said these words..."

He pointed to the position of his heart and said, "It hurts so much here that I feel like I'm going to die."

Then Xuan Luo laughed at himself again, his tone stagnant, "When I think about how it was because of me that she was hurt so much, I feel like I don't deserve to breathe in this world anymore."

"She didn't blame you."

"Because she is too kind and doesn't know how to hate anyone."

"For someone like me, it would be even more difficult to kill him a thousand or ten thousand times."

"So the best thing you can do to make amends now is to tell us what you know."

"I know……"

Xuanluo's perspective——

Once, when I went to pick up the princess, she was called away by His Highness, and as her personal knight, I followed her.

When I heard the word "marriage", I felt as if the whole house was shaking and I couldn't control my expression.

Shock, panic, and fear all flooded my heart, and my entire body was numb from the shock of the news.

But she, with a face that made my heart beat faster, held my arm and kept smiling happily, her smile was pure and happy, beautiful but dazzling...

Her smile made me understand that the distance between us was never about the difference in status, but that the person she liked... was not me at all.

I even forgot how I forced myself to respond to her with a smile. It was so difficult, even harder than going to fight on the battlefield.

Every day, every day I struggle in pain, struggling whether to express my own feelings.

I thought, but I didn’t dare…

I'm afraid that after I tell her, she will hide from me and avoid me...

I think I would go crazy if I looked at her every day but she kept avoiding me.

Until one day, I met Zheng Shanhui.

She showed me her faked footage of Eun-seong's miserable life after marriage...

Every frame of that picture was torture and great torment for me...

Jealousy, resentment and hatred clouded my basic judgment as a knight towards people I didn't know.

What happened next was no longer under my control. I was just their puppet. They grasped the deadliest darkness in my heart and manipulated me, constantly stimulating my desire to break through taboos.

In the end, I didn't want to abide by any cooperation anymore. I just wanted to take Enxing away from that crowded place as soon as possible.

"..."

Yan looked up at him calmly: "Why did they capture so many people with special abilities?"

Xuan Luo shook his head. "I don't know. Because I couldn't get the most basic trust, I violated the cooperation plan and planned my own plan... to deal with you."

"They locked everyone up in that warehouse. I went in once. They were probably doing some kind of experiment. Most of the people were locked up in a huge glass tank."

Yan frowned, "With so many people missing, no one noticed and came out to resist?"

"Yes, for those who oppose, Zheng Shanhui will negotiate first. If the negotiation fails...they will have no choice but to die."

"That man named Jingmi and Zheng Shanhui should also be in a cooperative relationship. They often quarrel over different opinions."

After saying that, he slowly lowered his eyelids.

"That's all I know. I hope this can atone for my sins to some extent."

"..."

"What you said is very useful. I will apply to the higher-ups to give you a lighter sentence."

"Give him a lenient sentence..."

Xuan Luo murmured softly and smiled.

"No, just end my life."

"These past few days, whenever I closed my eyes, I could see those loyal ministers who died in vain, Enen crying, and my father's disappointed expression..."

"Because of my actions, I almost harmed the entire world. I don't deserve to live anymore."

Xuanluo was like the last remaining leaf on a barren tree in autumn, swaying in the cold wind and lifeless.

"I promised her that I would let you live well."

Yan looked at him, with a barely perceptible touch of emotion in his eyes.

"And the only thing she asked me to do was for you to survive no matter what, no matter what form..."

"Being alive is the best."

Xuan Luo held his head in his hands, supported his elbows on the table, lowered his head helplessly, his broad shoulders trembled uncontrollably, and tears fell "patter" on the cold table.

He choked with pain and said, "How can I live with a clear conscience when I bear so many lives and such a huge crime..."

"You can betray the entire time and space for her, and she can also overturn all the standards of what is right in her heart for you."

"You think that death is a way of paying back, but it's not. Death is only a relief for you and yourself."

"Those who died in vain will not come back to life. Your father will still be disappointed in you, and she will be in pain because there is no breath of your existence in this world anymore."

"..."

Xuan Luo remained silent, and slowly relaxed his clenched hands.

"The greatest punishment for you is to stay alive. You must do something meaningful to make up for it. Only in this way can the souls of those loyal ministers who died for justice rest in peace and your father will be comforted."

"She can also continue to live in that place with peace of mind the way you wish."

"To live, in a place where I can never see her, in a place where there is absolutely no trace of her life, to live alone with the greatest pain, this is the greatest punishment."

"Alive, in a place where I will never see her..."

"In a place where there is absolutely no trace of her life..."

"Living alone with the greatest pain on your shoulders is the greatest punishment..."

Xuan Luo murmured and repeated Yan's words, experiencing them carefully and deeply...

"Not even having the right to breathe the same air with her is truly a punishment more painful than death."

Living alone in a place where I can never see her...

No one shared all my joys and sorrows, and the girl I loved the most could only survive in the remaining memories...

"Don't be too depressed. I will apply for you to join TOX. You may find something else."

Xuan Luo was slightly stunned, "TOX? Why are you helping me so much, just because Enen asked you to?"

"..."

"Because you look so much alike, I will unconsciously want to lend you a helping hand."

"Wha...what?"

"Let me tell you a story..."

He spoke slowly.

It is raining heavily outside, all the filth will be washed away and all the mistakes will be forgiven.

The interrogation room on the other side——

Inside the interrogation room, the four walls are covered with cold and hard dark metal, which emits a faint blue light, giving people a gloomy and depressing feeling.

The whole room was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of electricity and machinery.

In the center of the room stands a huge black high-tech interrogation table, which is like a mysterious control console, covered with various buttons, touch screens and complex data display screens.

Dr. Ge sat quietly at the table. He was wearing a white lab coat and his face was serious and calm.

At this moment, he placed his hands lightly on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on Xu Yechen who was sitting opposite him, waiting for his answer.

"???"

After waiting for Xu Yechen's answer for a long time, Dr. Ge raised his head and looked at him with a head full of question marks.

Xu Yechen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised one eyebrow, and stared at Dr. Ge's speechless expression with interest.

"I am cooperating with your investigation. I am not a prisoner. I am very upset that you are talking to me like you are interrogating a prisoner."

He leaned back lazily and said jokingly, "You can choose to continue with this attitude. I think the food here is pretty good. It's not bad to stay for two more days."

"..."

Dr. Ge took his hands off the keyboard, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were fixed on the young and energetic man opposite him.

He twisted his wrist and responded slowly, "I really don't understand how Minister Xu, who is so serious about his work, could have a son like you who is cynical and always causes trouble for him."

In the face of Dr. Ge's ridicule, Xu Yechen looked directly into Dr. Ge's eyes provocatively, with a full warning tone.

"I advise you to speak properly. You haven't installed any tools to restrict my superpowers on me."

"..."

Okay, this little bastard, if he can’t afford to offend him, can’t he just hide from him?

Dr. Ge rubbed his forehead and said helplessly: "You are not a child anymore. You must be careful and cautious about your words and actions."

"For your father's sake, I won't argue with you. Just tell me. Every second you waste is one more minute for them to commit a crime."

"..."

After hearing these words, Xu Yechen's aggressive aura gradually subsided. His eyes, which were originally as sharp as a sword, became much softer, and the arrogance on his face gradually disappeared.

Instead, he had a pensive and calm expression, as if he was thinking about something important. At this moment, he was in sharp contrast to his previous arrogant and conceited image.

After thinking in silence for a moment, Xu Yechen frowned and spoke slowly.

"I don't know what D organization is. I only followed them on a few missions."

"But from what I know, Jingmi and Mu Anzhi are not from Organization D, they are just bounty hunters."

"I don't know what Zheng Shanhui is talking about. We are not close friends."

His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, making crisp and pleasant sounds. Dr. Ge stared at the screen closely, his eyes flashing with concentration and seriousness, and he couldn't wait to continue asking questions.

"So what's your mission with them?"

"I blocked a few ordinary psychics, some were powerful and some were not. I was only responsible for knocking them out. I don't know the rest."

"..."

Dr. Ge paused while typing, frowned and looked up at Xu Yechen, his eyes accusing, "Have you ever thought that those psychics you knocked out might also have families?"

"When you knocked them out and took them away, their families might have been waiting for them to come home?"

"..."

Xu Yechen rolled his eyes and said, "You're overthinking. I won't do such a thing."

"The people I knocked out were all scum. Even if they die, it's a relief to society."

"..."

Dr. Ge pinched his temples with a headache and gritted his teeth and said, "That should be handed over to the relevant departments to handle!"

"Do I need you to tell me this in this situation?"

Xu Yechen snorted coldly, "If I hadn't woken up, I wouldn't be telling you this right now."

"..."

"You and your cousin are exactly the same."

Without waiting for Xu Yechen to retort, Dr. Ge quickly skipped the topic and continued to ask, "Besides these things, have you had any other contact with Organization D?"

This time, Xu Yichen finally shook his head honestly and took the initiative to explain.

"I never had any contact with them during the mission in the virtual world, let alone revealed any intelligence."

His tone was firm and decisive, as if he wanted the other party to believe that what he said was true. At the same time, his eyes were very honest and clear, as if he had no intention of concealing or deceiving anyone.

Dr. Ge looked at Xu Yechen unexpectedly, revealing a hint of surprise, and then refocused his attention on the computer screen in front of him.

I saw his slender and flexible fingers dancing on the keyboard like flying, making crisp and rapid tapping sounds.

However, after Xu Yechen finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head and fell into silence. No one knew what he was thinking at this moment.

"Okay, let's end the interrogation here today."

"You can leave this interrogation room and go home now, but please remember that you must actively cooperate with us in the subsequent investigation during this period."

Dr. Ge finished speaking in a calm tone, but Xu Yechen still kept his head down and remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

"..."

Dr. Ge, with mixed feelings, sighed softly, slowly stood up, turned around and walked towards the door of the room.

When he reached the door, he stopped and hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out, grasped the door handle, turned it gently, and opened the tightly closed door.

Then he walked out, and his figure gradually disappeared in the dim corridor outside the door.
