Chapter 116 The Boundary of SelfThe gold brick kept appearing and disappearing in his hand, shattering Jiang Shouyi's worldview that he had held for many years. He just felt that the world he was familiar with suddenly became magical, with many things that shouldn't exist intruding. Su Beixun laughed out loud: "Really? Why do you look like you've seen a monster?" He placed the gold nugget next to Jiang Shouyi's pillow and comforted him, "There are many strange things in this world..." "A witch who controls magic, a gem that grants immortality, a body that never ages, a potion that restores youth..." He spread his hands: "I am just one of them." Jiang Shouyi had nothing to say about this. He finally prepared himself mentally, and when he asked, he realized that his voice was terribly hoarse: "What kind of ability is this?" "It's very simple." Su Beixun demonstrated it for him.
He bent his fingers, pulled lightly, and pulled half a car out from the void! "There is an invisible space following me all the time. I can take out any inanimate object by touching it with my body." Jiang Shouyi opened his mouth wide. He looked at the huge monster with a distorted cross-section, held by a hand, and solidified in the air, and he had the most intuitive understanding of this thing that transcends science. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the code name of "Shenyi": "So that's how you deal with corpses!" Su Beixun nodded in acknowledgment. He loosened his fingers, and half of the car disappeared like a bubble: "They are all piled up in my space, of course they can't be found in the real world." Jiang Shouyi's eyebrows jumped: "Wait, they are all here? I remember the earliest case was almost ten years ago..." His expression twisted slightly: "Other things are stained with the stench of corpses in the process of decay... don't you feel disgusted?" "can you?" Su Beixun raised his hand and gave a wicked smile like a child: "The apple I handed to you just now was also placed in the space. Can you taste the stench of corpse?" Jiang Shouyi was stunned. The corners of his mouth twitched and his stomach churned. The image of maggots crawling around couldn't help but emerge in my mind! Jiang Shouyi's lips moved and he finally couldn't help turning over and retching. "Haha, don't be nervous, it's just a joke." Su Beixun handed him the cup of water next to him: "Every item in this space will not come into contact with other items, and a corpse will not continue to decay if placed in it." Jiang Shouyi felt better after hearing this. He gasped a few times, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, took the cup of water and took a big gulp, but spit it all out because of the high temperature. "Ah, sorry sorry."
Su Beixun's eyebrows curved, and he picked up the tissue and handed it to him: "I forgot that it was just heated up." He took out another unopened bottle of mineral water and said, "Drink this first." Jiang Shouyi covered his mouth with a tissue while coughing. Seeing the bottle of water in the space, he hesitated and refused: "No, I... I'm much better." Su Beixun didn't force it, he unscrewed the bottle and took a few sips. After recovering, Jiang Shouyi looked at the wet sheets he had made feeling helpless, but he couldn't ask anyone to come and change them for new ones, so he could only divert his attention away. After accepting the setting, he became curious: "This space is the gift of fate you mentioned?" "Part of it." Su Beixun said: "In addition to this, there is also an ability to manipulate luck." He gave an example: "For example, hostile forces and the police were able to arrive at almost the same time because of this." There was also Chianti and Cohen, which he had blocked in advance. Jiang Shouyi was a little surprised: "...your wish came true?" "You can say that." “…That’s really good.” Jiang Shouyi smiled and lay back on the bed, as if he had let go of a heavy burden. "I feel much better knowing that you are not having a hard time." Su Beixun did not respond. He looked at the middle-aged man on the bed, pursed his lips and smiled: "Anything else you want to ask?" Jiang Shouyi showed a distressed expression: "Actually, there are many more, such as your experiences in the underground world, stories from your childhood, exciting journeys, and dangers you encountered..." "but……" He paused, then smiled: "These are no longer important." Jiang Shouyi turned his head and looked at the dark ceiling above his head. Just then a breeze blew by, bringing the faint fragrance of the bouquet of flowers on the windowsill. He straightened his messy hair and asked with some sadness: "Are you here to kill me..." Su Beixun froze for a moment, he opened his mouth and said softly: "Ah." "really." Jiang Shouyi forced a smile and said, "I said, whether it's space or other abilities, they should be your biggest secrets. There's no reason to disclose them to me so casually." Su Beixun didn't say anything. The silence in the ward was even worse than before. After a long time, Jiang Shouyi asked softly: "Can you tell me why? You obviously didn't have this thought before."
"Yeah, there wasn't originally..." Su Beixun lowered his head, his face was obscured by the darkness, and no one knew what expression he had at this moment. But his voice was filled with sadness: "But... who asked you to save me..." "Ah?" Jiang Shouyi was stunned. Su Beixun was silent for a moment, then leaned back on the chair and said, "I have always been a very selfish person." He laughed at himself. "I must get what I want, and I must make it go away if I don't like it, no matter if it's by force or robbery, or if it affects other people." He held up a finger: "I just want everything to go my way! So..." He took a deep breath. "I always carefully evaluate every interaction I have with others." "Because I don't want my decision to be mixed up with some weird relationships." Su Beixun looked at Jiang Shouyize lying on the bed, his voice low. "You can understand that, right?" “Interpersonal communication always brings burdens.” "Because of our relationship with our boss, we have to endure jobs we don't want to take in order to maintain job security." "Because of our relationships with friends, and to keep our friendship alive, we have to endure invitations that we don't really want to participate in." "In order to stabilize relationships, people always have to make decisions that go against their own conscience." He took another sip of water and exhaled. "It's nothing. Perhaps a little patience will bring better results..." "But." "I just don't want this!" Su Beixun raised his head. He clenched his hands, not knowing what to look at in the darkness... Perhaps, it was just to avoid Jiang Shou's gaze... “So, every time I get to know someone, I ask myself…” "If there is no reason, no benefit, can I just kill him like this?" "...Haha, pretty crazy, huh?" He laughed to himself as he said, "But that's the line I set for those relationships." "If I hesitate, it means someone has walked into my heart."
He spread his palms and said, "Perhaps I am naturally cold-hearted, or perhaps I have too little sense of belonging to this world..." "No matter if they are pitiful, hateful, kind, or ordinary, whether they help me or hunt me down..." "No matter how long I've known him, no matter what the relationship between him and I is..." "I would kill them all without any hesitation!" Su Beixun lowered his voice: "Until... yesterday." Jiang Shouyi looked at him in a daze. "Don't worry about you laughing at me, but when you pushed me away without caring about your own safety, I was a little touched." Su Beixun stared at his palm, as if he needed to count the lines on it in the dark. "It's not like I haven't seen people willing to sacrifice their lives for me, but they all have various considerations, or they want to get something from me." "…But you are different!" Su Beixun didn't look at him, but his tone was very serious. "You will save me not because of any benefit, but simply because you want to save me!" "I can feel it..." He pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed an unnatural smile: "It's really strange. We haven't seen each other much, but just because of the father-son relationship, you are willing to risk your life..." "...As expected, when a relationship is too close, it's easy for people to lose themselves." Jiang Shouyi continued to look at Su Beixun. Because of the temperature difference, the concrete above my head expands and contracts, making a constant sound of steel balls rolling. But he felt that the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter. "So, you're here to sever this relationship?" "……Um." Su Beixun's voice was very soft. "On the way to the hospital I kept asking myself if I could kill you like this." "The answer is beyond doubt, but I hesitated for a second..." He clenched his fingers around the handle of the fruit knife, which he had warmed. "Hesitation means caring, and caring is the beginning of the budding of feelings." "Emotions are bondage, bondage means no freedom, and no freedom means no self." "I asked myself again in disbelief... but after asking, I realized that repeating the question was proof that I didn't want to kill you." Su Beixun supported himself on his knees and stood up. The chair beneath me creaked.
"You are insignificant to me now, but when this feeling grows into a chain, it will bind my hands and feet." "I will consider your thoughts, your attitude, and even your interests and emotions when I make a decision." "Now, in order to achieve my goal, I can directly push Jiang Shou Financial Group into the fire pit, but when you are deep enough in my heart, I may subconsciously resist this choice!" His dark figure loomed over Jiang Shouyi's face: "So, before this feeling becomes deeply rooted, I must cut it off in time!" Jiang Shouyi subconsciously grabbed the bed sheet and tried to keep a calm expression. He couldn't accept showing his ugly side in front of his son...even if he would die at his hands! "...Then let's do it." Jiang Shouyi said softly. Su Beixun looked at his cheeks that were shaking with fear, pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Shouyi's teeth chattered. When he saw the shining knife in the other person's hand, his body began to react instinctively. "What I wanted to say..." He thought about it and shook his head again: "Forget it... Even if I beg you not to hurt Xiao Huang and Jun Xia, I'm afraid you won't accept this kind of 'restraint'." Su Beixun did not comment. Jiang Shouyi unexpectedly said, "I'm sorry!" Su Beixun was stunned. "It's all my fault. It's my absence that made you lose the ability to feel love... So, no matter what you do, I won't resent you." Jiang Shouyi finally smiled and said, "Then... I wish you all the best, as my father." "……I see……" Su Beixun put the blade across his neck. "dad……" ## Its daybreak. Jiang Shou's family finally became a little quieter. Su Beixun's body was taken back to the police station, and those annoying reporters left with him. Jiang Shouzhe's body was placed in a newly built mourning hall, with a triangular white cloth wrapped around his head and his hands placed on his lower abdomen. The slightly harsh old face also softened under the candlelight. Ogura Junxia felt a little sad. I was forced to leave home by Su Beixun at gunpoint, and this happened after I came back. But she didn't have time to be sad now. Because Jiang Shouyi was injured and hospitalized, she had to take care of everything at home.
This woman, who had been losing weight due to worrying about her son, was very busy. Not only did she have to receive people who came to pay their respects and monks who were performing rituals, but she also had to take time to deal with some decisions of the Jiang Shou Group. But what made her feel at ease was that her son had finally returned, and Su Beixun was dead, so her life would eventually return to normal in the future. "Junxia!" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side, saying gently: "Thank you for your hard work." Ogura Junxia turned around. It was found to be Jiang Shouyize who was wrapped in bandages! He looked pale, and his walking posture looked a little strange, probably because of his injured arm. Ogura Junxia was delighted for a moment, but then frowned anxiously: "Why did you leave the hospital? Your wound hasn't healed yet, so you just lie there obediently!" "Feel sorry." Jiang Shouyi scratched his head: "But there are so many things going on. I can't stay in the hospital with peace of mind." "But!" "It's okay." Jiang Shouyi smiled and said, "It's just a scratch. Although it looks scary, it's actually not serious." He looked at Ogura Junka's messy hair and said, "Besides, you need to rest, don't you?" Ogura Junxia was stunned, her eyes were red, I said softly: "I'm fine!" Jiang Shouyi looked guilty: "Then, Chunxia, can I leave the family matters to you? I need to go back to the company to stabilize the situation." "no problem!" Jiang Shouyi talked to her for a few more words, then turned around and got back into the car, asking the driver from last night to take him to the company. This trip seems to be a useless effort, but it is actually to make the behavior consistent with the true Jiang Shouyi. Su Beixun thought under the mask and moved slightly uncomfortably. In order to disguise himself as a fat man, he carried a lot of padding on his body and wore airtight clothes to cover them tightly, which made him look very awkward. But there was no other way. In order not to waste the Jiang Shou Group, he had to do this. In the stable carriage, Jiang Shouyi closed his eyes, as if he was gathering his strength. But in fact, he was thinking about what to say when he arrived at the company. To be honest, Su Beixun is not very proficient in business matters, which is why he did not originally plan to take over the other party's business. But the hackers who maintain the bank accounts in Jiang Shou Group are necessary. From the very beginning, Su Beixun did not trust the Suzuki Group, or rather, it would be foolish to put all his hopes on things that were out of his control. Whether it was kidnapping Suzuki Shiro to threaten him or letting Konishi attack in the morning, they were all just a cover to delay the progress of the organization. The reason why he left Suzuki Shiro in the dungeon and ignored him was because he didn't believe that the leading consortium could succeed. Then, it would be of no use to me to continue to kidnap him.
——Whether or not Suzuki Shiro could be rescued, he believed that Suzuki Tomoko would not let the hackers stop. If the Suzuki Group knew about the Noah's Ark, they would definitely want it. Just enough to muddy the water. but…… Even so. Su Beixun still needs a killer weapon that he can control! Not long after, the car stopped in front of a building in the city center. Su Beixun opened the car door and got out. A heavily made-up woman came up. ——She is Jiang Shouyize’s personal secretary. Of course Su Beixun had checked the relevant information before coming here. While he admired Jiang Shouyi's alternative aesthetics, he ordered, "Let all programmers in the company gather in the conference room. I have something to tell you!" "Yes! Boss!" The woman responded in a delicate voice and walked away with her hips twisted. (End of this chapter)
