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

Shi Hen: “…”

Where did this brat, who was taken down by Bronya in just a few moves, get the audacity to speak like that?

“Xing, that assassin is very powerful. Even Bronya is no match for him.”

Seele defended herself.

"Yes, that assassin is very strong."

Bronya nodded in agreement.

"Ha! That's because I wasn't there, otherwise I could have taken care of it in no time."

Xing said stubbornly.

Anyway, that assassin has already been killed, so go ahead and call it out if you dare.

Shaking his head somewhat helplessly, Shihen looked at the blonde girl who had entered last: "And who is this?"

“Oh, I forgot to introduce her…” Seele said, as if she had just remembered. She put the fruit basket she had brought on the bedside table and then pushed the blonde girl a few steps forward. “This is Peggy. She’s from Siberia, just like us.”

"I see." Shihen nodded and smiled at the blonde girl. "Hello, Peggy, my name is Shihen."

Peggy: "..."

Even when we're alone, you rarely smile at me, let alone smile so brightly...

Looking at the boy's warm, sunny smile, Peggy felt even more distressed.

But she was an incredibly strong girl after all, so she quickly recovered, smiled slightly, and extended a hand, saying, "Hello, Hen, I heard you're the one who saved Xi'er and the others?"

Looking at the girl's clean, fair hands, Shihen felt that she was taking advantage of him.

But with Xier and the others still watching, he couldn't just walk away.

"Talking about saving them is going too far; we are partners fighting side by side."

Shihen reached out and shook hands with Peggy, then smiled and explained.

"Really? But Seele has been talking about it all along."

Maintaining her smile, Peggy tickled the boy's palm with her fingers before slowly letting go.

Hmph! Serves you right for pretending you don't know me!

"Is this happening?"

With his expression unchanged, Shihen looked at the blue-haired girl whose face had turned red and asked her a question.

"If I had been a little stronger back then, the captain wouldn't have had to save us..."

She raised her head slightly and spoke in a tone filled with strong resentment.

If she had mastered the power of the Stigmata earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

“This has nothing to do with your strength or weakness.” Shihen shook his head slightly. “You are my team members, and I will do everything in my power to protect you.”

This is my duty.

Hearing this, Seele and Bronya felt a warmth in their hearts.

It's just empty talk until the other party takes any real action.

But now, they genuinely believe it.

Xing glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then didn't say anything to refute them.

She was afraid of being beaten.

Peggy, who had nothing to do with the matter, was thoroughly envious after seeing this scene.

Although she never expected anyone to protect her, she still wished someone would say something like that to her.

But a certain guy...

Looking at the person who hadn't even glanced at her more than a few times so far, the girl was already considering whether she should go back to her dorm and make a voodoo doll.

"Captain, would you like some fruit?"

Seele asked considerately.

During the seven days he was in a coma, although he could receive nutrition through intravenous fluids, proper food intake was also essential.

"Then... help me wash some grapes."

His gaze fell on the fruit basket to the side, and after hesitating for a few seconds, Shihen spoke.

Sure enough, Seele is much cuter. At least she remembers to bring a gift when she visits him.

As for those guys like Cocolia, they seemed really insincere. They could have at least given him a few limited edition mechs, especially considering how hard he acted.

"Ok."

Seele nodded and reached for the fruit basket.

"I'll go wash up."

Peggy said, taking a bunch of grapes from the fruit basket first.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that he would be exposed sooner or later because of Peggy.

Bronya's eyes lit up as she quietly observed everything, as if she had discovered a key point.

"I also want to eat an apple."

Shihen continued.

There are still so many people in the ward, we can't all just sit around doing nothing, can we?

"Ok."

Seele smiled.

This time, she'll definitely come in handy!

"Let me do it."

Bronya spoke up, grabbing the apple before Seele could react.

"..."

The girl's gaze immediately turned resentful.

Watching Ya Ya peel the apple with a blank expression, Shi Hen couldn't help but feel a sense of danger.

Before going to St. Freya for further studies, Ya Ya was cold from the inside out. When did she suddenly become so gentle?

The boy always felt that the duck would stab him at the slightest provocation.

Especially since Seele was watching him expectantly, as if waiting for him to make a new request.

No, Seele, don't look at me! Go look at your sister Bronya, or someone's going to die!

Shihen seemed to already see a large "danger" character appear above his head.

"Oh, you guys are so thoughtful, so many people taking care of him."

The apricot was truly adding fuel to the fire, its tone full of lemony sourness.

"..."

Bronya looked up, her sharp, knife-like gaze fixed on Xing.

"But... the captain is injured."

Seele explained with a serious expression.

"Exactly. If you were also injured and unable to move, we would take care of you the same way."

Peggy said as she returned to the ward, picking a juicy grape and feeding it to the boy.

Shi Hen: “…”

I'm just injured, not completely paralyzed.

But looking at the smiling blonde girl in front of him, Shihen hesitated for half a second before finally giving in.

Yes, the grapes from Anti-Entropy are quite sweet, but...

Feeling the girl's fingertips gently brush against his lips, Shihen seriously suspected that she was taking advantage of him.

On the other side, Bronya put the apple, cut into small pieces, into a plastic box, then placed it on the small table on the hospital bed, carefully inserting a few toothpicks.

Seeing that Ya Ya's movements were relatively normal, Shi Hen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If DuckDuck also does this, then he might as well consider running away.

"Ah~"

Naturally, Seele picked up a toothpick and brought a piece of apple to Shihen's lips.

This used to be a warm little cotton-padded jacket, but now it's drafty.

"..."

Feeling Ya Ya's intense gaze fixed on him, Shi Hen seriously considered the feasibility of running away.

It's unbelievable! Didn't anyone notice that he only had an IV drip in one hand, and wasn't completely paralyzed?!

Chapter 84 What is a behind-the-scenes boss?

After helping Shihen finish eating a bunch of fruit, Xier left, saying that the boy needed more rest.

Anzu, who had been eager to run away, and Bronya, who remained expressionless, naturally had no objections to this.

Peggy looked at the smiling young man in front of her. Although she really wanted to ask him if he was involved in the incident, Shihen's premonition of danger was too terrifying.

A more naive person might mistake these connections for mere coincidences.

But she was no longer naive.

Peggy glanced at Seele and the other two, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to ask the question that was on her mind.

She didn't know why Shihen wanted to hide his identity, but she also knew that she absolutely could not reveal it.

This is her life principle.

After seeing the four girls off, Shihen couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Seriously, don't these guys have any common sense?

He was almost full, but they kept feeding him!

The boy felt that something was wrong with his script.

He should have been a powerful boss stirring up trouble behind the scenes, someone anyone who saw him should have trembled with fear, but instead...

Even a little girl like Peggy dares to mess with him.

Next time, we must teach her a lesson she'll never forget!

He thought bitterly to himself, when suddenly Shihen heard the creaking sound of the ward door opening.

This time, a nurse came in.

Before she could even put down the tray, the nurse immediately knelt on one knee upon seeing the boy, bowing her head and saying in an extremely respectful voice, "Your subordinate, Lin Xiao, greets Lord Bai Ge."

This is also an undercover agent planted by World Serpent; Owl is her code name.

Of course, Lin Xiao was only an elite member of the organization and had not yet reached the level of an officer.

The number of snake cadres in the world has not yet reached the level of near-overabundance as the anti-entropy executors.

As one of only sixteen executives in the World Snake Organization, no one should think that Shihen would fight against entropy alone, right?

If we really want to be precise, he might be one of the most powerful people in Anti-Entropy.

After all, everyone knows that Anti-Entropy is also known as the World Serpent Division.

"Have you cleaned up all the mess?"

Leaning against the headboard, Shihen asked with a smile.
