Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"I'm not referring to the thing that caused everyone to fall asleep."

Faced with Shi Bao's sophistry, Shi Hen simply shook his head calmly, "Indiscriminately scanning everyone's memories will also cause serious damage to everyone's emotions."

"what?"

Shi Bao was completely dumbfounded.

"Human emotions are very fragile."

Once the seeds of suspicion are sown, it takes ten or even a hundred times the effort to eradicate them.

Looking directly at the girl in front of him, Shihen explained earnestly, "Take Xiaoshi for example."

"If we used the excuse that you might be affected by the Honkai to forcibly lock you in a lab for research, you'd definitely be angry, right?"

"Hmph! I am the Lawgiver of Knowledge, who can lock me up!?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao was immediately displeased.

"This is just an example, meaning it's hypothetical."

Shihen said helplessly.

"Even assumptions won't work!"

Shi Bao resolutely defends his dignity as a lawyer.

"In short, once the fact that memories have been probed is exposed, everyone's acceptance of anti-entropy will rapidly decrease, and the entire organization will be at risk of collapse."

Shihen explained.

Maintaining basic trust in one's subordinates is a principle that any organization must adhere to.

Especially in places like anti-entropy, where ideals and beliefs are highly valued, trust becomes even more important.

"Then I'll just keep it from anyone else."

Shi Bao keenly identified the crux of the problem.

"Someone will eventually discover the truth."

Even someone as skilled at disguising himself as Otto has had everything exposed now, hasn't he?

Shihen shook his head.

While the treasure-finding method certainly saves Anti-Entropy time in finding the mole, the alliance will inevitably have to spend a lot of money to appease the employees' emotions during the process.

In a sense, this is a memory correction technique that is even more powerful than the authority of consciousness.

As a result, this third-generation leader will also have to add a meeting with the President of the United States to his schedule soon, so that the other party can give him some more gold coins.

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao fell silent, and after a long while, he frowned and said with disdain, "You guys are too much trouble!"

This won't work, that won't allow it, so whatever you do is her fault?

"Because everyone has their own secrets in their heart."

For humanity, these secrets hold a value more important than life itself.

Shihen explained.

Between ultimate social death and dying on the spot, not everyone can calmly accept social death.

"You won't lie to me, will you?"

Shi Bao looked at the young man in front of him with suspicion.

She's seen all of Fu Hua's memories, but she hasn't seen the other party try to fight her to the death.

"Then, Xiao Shi, would you like to see the secret of humanity?"

Seeing this, Shihen couldn't help but curl a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"I……"

Meeting the predatory gaze of the young hunter, Shi Bao involuntarily shrank back, but the next second he patted his chest and said, "Try it then, do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Even if the boy is the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, he is still just a mere human being. Why would she be afraid?

"Then... Xiao Shi, you can come."

Looking directly into the girl's gray eyes, Shihen smiled and extended an invitation.

"Hmph! I'll show you the power of the Herrscher of Knowledge..."

She pouted and said, "Identifying treasures immediately brightened my eyes, and I activated my power to invade the boy's mind with my own consciousness."

Beyond the surface-level thoughts on various aspects of entropy reduction in the boy's mind, the awareness of treasure continued to delve deeper, soon touching upon certain hidden areas...

Legs to play with for years, big ones are good, flat ones are also beautiful, five thousand years of cultivation, the difference between black and white stockings... In an instant, complex images of the universe, brain, formulas and other things flashed through Shi Bao's mind, and his gaze immediately became dull, his originally innocent eyes filled with the turbidity of knowledge.

"you you you……"

His consciousness receded rapidly like a snail startled by a shock, and Shi Bao's neck and forehead turned completely lobster-colored. He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Human thought is just that complex."

Even if you, Xiaoshi, are a Herrscher who controls consciousness, you can still easily be corrupted by these things if you're not careful.

With sincerity still written all over his face, Shihen earnestly advised Shibao, "So, even for your own sake, Shibao, you should not intrude on other people's consciousness at will."

Shi Bao: "..."

No, didn't you just say that these secrets are more important than life itself?

How can you act like nothing happened?!

"Xiaozhi!"

Seeing that the girl did not answer for a long time, Shihen couldn't help but wave his hand in front of Shibao.

"Woo!"

Sensing the boy's closeness, Shi Bao trembled like a cat with its fur standing on end. "I...I understand!"

As he spoke hastily, Shi Bao's figure vanished instantly, leaving only a few black feathers that slowly burned and drifted down in the air.

Due to CPU overheating, this Herrscher, who was only a little over a month old, chose to flee.

Shi Hen: “…”

Although the method was somewhat different from what Fu Hua had expected, he should have taught Shi Bao a lesson, so that it wouldn't develop into someone like Otto who would attack everyone he met with a Feather Dust... right?

Chapter 152 The White-Haired Dumpling is Training

"Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi..."

In the base's passageway, Fu Hua couldn't help but call out to the Herrscher of Knowledge who had suddenly fallen into a daze beside her, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

As Walter White said at Mount Taixu, the Herrscher of Knowledge is the Herrscher most susceptible to the influence of the Honkai Will, not to mention that the Herrscher is currently away from the core of the Herrscher and is at its weakest.

Based on this premise, she is particularly sensitive to anything related to the Herrscher of Knowledge, fearing that the Herrscher might do something irreparable under the influence of the Honkai.

"Well……"

Coming to his senses, Shi Bao saw Fu Hua's face so close to his without him noticing. He quickly recalled what had happened earlier and couldn't help but frown. "I can still hear you, you old fogey!"

Have you heard or seen anything strange lately?

Fu Hua asked with concern, a faint maternal glow radiating from her face.

"What strange thing?"

Who do you think I am? An old fogey!

Subconsciously retorting, Shi Bao unconsciously thought of the knowledge he had gained from the boy a few days ago, and suddenly felt a strange heat rising in his body.

"I'm just a little worried about you."

Fu Hua shook her head.

"Hmph! I am the Herrscher of Consciousness, the strongest being in the realm of consciousness. Who can possibly influence me!?"

Feeling slighted, Shi Bao immediately straightened his chest and answered proudly.

Even the strange and unusual knowledge of the boy could be completely deleted if she wanted to.

"……That's good."

After carefully examining the Herrscher of Knowledge and seeing that she didn't seem to be affected by the Honkai, Fu Hua breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"..."

Seeing Fu Hua relax, Shi Bao couldn't help but feel annoyed again.

Even if she is indeed very capable, if you give up on caring for her so easily, doesn't that make her seem unimportant?

As Shi Bao's gaze swept over Fu Hua's unremarkable body, a whole host of strange facts related to him immediately popped into his mind, and his cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.

Honestly, although this body is indeed quite useful, it's really strange to be interested in such a body.

Despite her wavering resolve, Shi Bao never considered that this was something someone had specifically chosen to ensure she could be sunk quickly.

In fact, if it weren't for their young age, many more advanced positions would appear.

"Xiaozhi?"

Feeling the intense gaze of a certain Herrscher, Fu Hua couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"An old relic..."

Looking at Fu Hua's cold, moon-like face, Shi Bao searched his memory carefully before asking, "Don't you usually have any desires? Aren't you self-conscious at all?"

Or did you erase this part of your memory?

"..."

Upon hearing these lewd words, Fu Hua blushed and quickly looked around to make sure no one was nearby before angrily saying, "Xiao Shi, do you know what you're saying?"

As she asked the question, Fu Hua's pupils trembled slightly, and her gaze toward the Herrscher of Knowledge resembled that of a single mother whose teenage daughter had suddenly discovered a secret under her bed.

"I know, it's just one of humanity's little secrets."

With an air of nonchalance, Shi Bao asked, her eyes filled with clear curiosity, "You haven't even tried to do it yourself yet, have you?"

As he spoke, Shi Bao slightly raised his chin, a strange sense of pride showing on his face.

Although she had no intention of doing this while she was in control of her body.

But after receiving that knowledge from the boy, she was already far ahead of this old man in this respect!

Moreover, she appreciates the beauty of this body far better than this old relic.

In other words, she has crossed the ladder called childhood and reached the other side of becoming an adult!

"Little knowledge..."

Taking a deep breath, Fu Hua's expression instantly turned serious. "You, did you secretly go through other people's memories again?!"

From a purely rational perspective, those who understand the laws of nature would never be interested in such matters.

Therefore, this can only be the result of the influence of others.

In an instant, Fu Charlotte Hua locked onto the suspect as a certain white ball of fluff.

Based on her observations during her time in St. Freya, this white ball of fluff was the most likely person to do such a thing.

After all, there really was a secret hidden under the other person's bed.

"Old fogey, don't make false accusations! That guy clearly handed it to me on his own initiative!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao was immediately displeased.

Is she the kind of Herrscher who would casually go through other people's memories?

Naturally forgetting the half-day shutdown of Anti-Entropy not long ago, Shi Bao felt that he was simply the best Herrscher he could be.

"Xiao Shi, you..."

Fu Hua was even angrier when the Herrscher of Insight tried to argue and shift the blame onto others.

In her view, making mistakes is not terrible, as long as you work hard to correct them later.

After all, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
