Neither a Backlash nor a Revival

Having already seen the process and outcome through the system, Shen Yu couldn't feign interest when Bai Zuo recounted it again.

Therefore, Shen Yu smiled and listened attentively to Bai Zuo, but his emotions were indeed indifferent.

Hiss!

This feeling of having one's emotions read.

Shen Yu stroked his chin inwardly, thinking: So this is how others feel when they encounter Bai Zuo, when he's playing the role of Bai Zuo?

However, unlike others who feel uncomfortable and panicked when facing the Bai Zuo, he does not feel that they are seen through.

Shen Yu felt no discomfort whatsoever, because Bai Zuo could only see through his outward emotions.

In addition, both of them possess exceptional observational and analytical skills, and have a thorough understanding of human nature.

Bai Zuo could guess the fluctuations in his emotions on the surface. Shen Yu Bai Zuo, as the creator of Bai Zuo's consciousness, could naturally also guess Bai Zuo's thoughts.

They even see things more clearly.

The two looked at each other.

Bai Zuo also sensed Shen Yu's scrutiny and observation.

He felt his hair stand on end, as if he had been seen through, his innermost thoughts laid bare. This feeling... this feeling was like looking in a mirror.

The mirror reflects another version of myself.

The Bai Zuo, however, knew very well that the Chairman was not himself, but rather that the Chairman possessed superhuman intelligence, just like himself, and perhaps even surpassed him.

At least without intelligence, one cannot see through everything.

In the minds of the Bai Zuo, the Chairman has become an image of someone who can foresee the future, is all-knowing, and omnipotent.

Shen Yu understood Bai Zuo's thoughts in an instant.

He inwardly covered his mouth, but he couldn't really explain it; he couldn't very well say that he had "seen" it beforehand, could he?

Shen Yu then used a move called the Silence Technique.

As long as you smile and silently look at them, they will fill in the rest in their own minds.

Bai Zuo seemed to have thought of something; his eyes darkened considerably. Then, he sighed and said, "Chairman, I've put in so much effort to complete such a huge task this time, isn't there any reward?"

What reward do you want?

Bai Zuo shook his finger, "It really is that... Let's go to the amusement park!"

amusement park?

Shen Yu paused for a moment, then realized that Bai Zuo was a year younger than him. People his age are usually quite playful, right?

but...

He saw the eyes of the Bai Zuo.

The emotions revealed in Bai Zuo's eyes were more than just a desire to go out and have fun alone.

Sure enough, the next moment Bai Zuo said enthusiastically, "Chairman, let's go play together!"

Amusement parks... such places might be a bit childish for a three-year-old, but they're just right for sixteen or seventeen-year-olds.

So, Shen Yu changed his clothes, put on a mask, and set off with Bai Zuo.

"This amusement park has a really popular show lately."

While flipping through online guides, the Bai Zuo said this.

He was wearing a black cotton coat with two skull patterns printed on it, along with black-painted nails and a rebellious earring, making him look very much like a rebellious teenager.

Shen Yu, on the other hand, was dressed in a more conventional manner.

His black cotton coat, white inner lining, and white outer jacket were quite plain, but his handsome appearance still made many girls passing by turn their heads.

We arrived at the amusement park.

Today is February 1st.

It happened to be Saturday, and the amusement park was packed with visitors, mostly families with children, couples, or groups of friends.

The Bai Zuo were responsible for buying the tickets.

Shen Yu then received a system notification.

[Ding! A related person has appeared nearby.]

Um?

Shen Yu opened the system interface with his mind; to others, he was just standing there waiting for someone.

The system interface displayed a nearby map, and a bright red dot was very close to him.

Shen Yu zoomed in on the map and saw Evil Mouth's portrait on it.

Oh, it's him. Wasn't he in Australia recently? Why is he back in the Xia Kingdom?

Shen Yu retrieved the system's records of the Evil Mouth's movements, figured out what was going on, and then glanced at the location of the Evil Mouth marked by the system.

The Evil Mouth was very close to him, probably within a hundred meters, and he was also queuing to buy tickets.

Shen Yu only glanced at him before finding him in the crowd.

The man was wearing a black and white hooded cotton coat with two ropes hanging down in front of him, giving him a homebody vibe.

It looks quite harmless.

Soon, the tickets were bought, and the Bai Zuo also bought two ice creams.

Eating ice cream is the most refreshing thing in winter, and even Contract Anomalist's physique can withstand it, so Shen Yu naturally accepted one of them.

Nearby, a little boy, only a few years old, stared longingly, his mouth practically drooling. He quickly tugged at his parent's sleeve.

"Mom, I want ice cream too."

"It's so cold now, eating ice cream will give you a stomachache and make you more susceptible to catching a cold."

"Then why are the two older brothers allowed to eat?"

"Everyone else is an adult, you're still a child. You'll be able to eat when you grow up."

"I don't want that, I want ice cream."

A little kid broke down and cried.

The two culprits who caused all this simply walked by without a care and entered the amusement park.

He glanced at the scene Evil Mouth afar, then it was his turn to buy a ticket. He went to the window to pay, leaving the whole farce behind.

Shen Yu brushed past him.

It was only about fifty meters away from his position.

A Evil Mouth, indescribable feeling spread from within his body, and his expression changed slightly. Was the strange entity within him about to awaken?

No, he hasn't used his abilities recently, so why now?

Evil Mouth carefully sensed the strange, restless energy within his body. The strange state was rather odd, and it didn't seem like it was about to turn against him.

Instead, it was as if he had discovered something and desperately wanted to obtain it; this eagerness was even subtly conveyed to him.

It made his throat parched.

Evil Mouth swallowed hard, forcefully suppressing this inexplicable impulse.

This feeling was short-lived; soon, the strange sensation in my body stopped moving and subsided once more.

The Evil Mouth and sudden change was puzzling; it seemed neither like a backlash nor a resurrection.

It couldn't be that they were hungry and wanted to go out to find food, could it?

To avoid the pain of backlash, the Evil Mouth diligently hunts low-level monsters to feed the monster inside its body.

The reason he only feeds low-level monsters is that he cannot allow them to consume too much monster energy; otherwise, suppressing the monsters will become even more difficult for him.

You only need to slightly satisfy its appetite and replenish some of the energy it has used up.
