“Thank you for your answer.”
Zhushi Jiu’s words were laced with gratitude, but his tone was icy cold.
Xu Feng didn’t mind, “The drug you’re holding is the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug, right?”
“Yes.”
Xu Feng asked, “Can that drug be injected?”
“Hmm?”
Zhushi Jiu’s thinking came to a sudden halt.
“We’ve had dealings with them several times, and we’ve already researched their anti-Black Soldier suppression drug. If injected in the right amount, it won’t harm the human body at all.”
“In fact, this drug can be considered a gospel for depression patients. After injecting this drug, a depression patient can promote the release of neurotransmitters in their brain, restoring their emotions and becoming a normal person.”
Zhushi Jiu was still confused.
“You just said I can inject the drug? You’re not stopping me?”
Xu Feng countered, “Why would I stop you? When did I say you can’t inject it?”
Zhushi Jiu was speechless.
“I never intended to keep you in an emotional numb state for long. In reality, an emotional numb state isn’t conducive to our plans. At least before becoming a Black Soldier, your emotions towards the world are more important to me.”
“And my current emotional numb state…”
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng calmly said, “At most half a month, your emotions will fully recover.”
Zhushi Jiu frowned.
Xu Feng suddenly said, “You can’t foresee the future a month from now? Or you wouldn’t have asked that question.”
“…”
No matter how careful, there will always be a moment of exposure.
Conversing with Xu Feng was like wielding a double-edged sword. Although you could obtain information, you would always be noticed by Xu Feng for various minute details.
Zhushi Jiu replied, “I’m not unable to foresee; I just haven’t foreseen it yet.”
“Ha ha.” Xu Feng didn’t believe him.
“In at most a week, you’ll arrive at the training base. By then, you’ll understand that your current worries are meaningless. The emotions lost by Black Soldier recruits are only temporary. Once you arrive at the training base, after professional detection, you can inject this drug.”
Zhushi Jiu asked, “Why not now?”
Xu Feng sighed, “I hope you can safely arrive at the training base.”
At least for the next week on the high seas, Xu Feng hoped Zhushi Jiu would remain in an emotional numb state. This state was the easiest to control and most aligned with Xu Feng’s logic.
Xu Feng could use this week to observe and determine Zhushi Jiu’s precognitive abilities.
But if Zhushi Jiu recovered his emotions, the observed results would be influenced by strong subjective factors, and Zhushi Jiu’s behavior would be difficult to predict using absolute logic, making it tough for Xu Feng.
Zhushi Jiu understood Xu Feng’s intentions.
So, he said, “I’m depressed.”
“What?” Even Xu Feng couldn’t react to Zhushi Jiu’s words.
“To be more accurate, I’ve lost my life’s direction. I feel like life has no meaning, and the world has nothing to do with me. In this state, my condition is terrible, and I’m on the verge of becoming a useless person who only knows how to lie in bed and stare blankly.”
Xu Feng seemed to be speechless, stunned by Zhushi Jiu’s nonsense.
Zhushi Jiu shook his head, “So, if you don’t let me inject the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug, I’ll find a way to die within this week. You can deal with it.”
“You!!”
Xu Feng was outraged!
This shameless move was entirely taking advantage of him!
Zhushi Jiu thought back to the previous week when Xu Feng knew he had injected the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug and exhibited a calm yet anxious state.
Xu Feng had always been pretending.
Xu Feng pretended to be indifferent, emphasizing that he was only a backup plan to save the world, even sending only two Black Soldiers to escort him, to downplay his intentions.
Even when Zhushi Jiu threatened to die, Xu Feng still ordered the two Black Soldiers to ignore him, showcasing his indifference to Zhushi Jiu’s life.
Zhushi Jiu was indeed deceived. In an emotional numb state, he couldn’t reason out Xu Feng’s complex emotions.
But after experiencing a brief emotional recovery, he realized that Xu Feng didn’t care about him as he seemed.
Xu Feng’s weak point had always existed; he just hadn’t realized it before.
Xu Feng forcibly suppressed his anger, saying in a deep voice, “You should know the dangers of this drug. Without professional detection, I won’t let you inject it randomly. I still can’t determine if it’s truly the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug; how can you be sure?”
Zhushi Jiu replied, “Let two Black Soldiers inject a part of it first.”
Equivalent to testing the drug.
Xu Feng felt the situation was slipping out of his control.
“You…”
Zhushi Jiu maintained a calm expression, “Agree or disagree?”
Xu Feng took a deep breath on the phone, seemingly to calm down and regain his composure.
Finally, Xu Feng replied, “Agree.”
Zhushi Jiu looked at the two silent Black Soldiers, one of whom held the drug.
“How much of the drug is there?” Xu Feng asked.
“20 milliliters.”
“Let one of the Black Soldiers inject 5 milliliters.”
Equivalent to a quarter of the dose.
Zhushi Jiu didn’t understand the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug, but Xu Feng did. After all, the Black Troop Organization had researched this suppression drug countless times.
The Black Soldier, without hesitation, picked up the drug and injected 5 milliliters.
Under precise control, the Black Soldier injected the drug.
As time passed, the Black Soldier’s expression softened, and he even showed signs of pain.
“How’s his condition?” Xu Feng asked.
Before Zhushi Jiu could respond, the Black Soldier said, “I feel the world has become more vibrant, and my emotions are affected by the pain, but I can still bear it.”
“It seems that even a quarter of the dose is effective.”
Xu Feng said to Zhushi Jiu, “I’ll only allow you to inject 1.5 milliliters; no more.”
Zhushi Jiu replied, “Even if you didn’t say it, I wouldn’t plan to inject more.”
No one understood the overbearing nature of the anti-Black Soldier suppression drug better than him. The previous week’s brief emotional recovery had been like a pendulum, and he didn’t want that extreme.
The Black Soldier approached Zhushi Jiu with the syringe.
Xu Feng added, “By the way, since it’s not an exact detection, my estimate may have some deviation. I’m not sure what degree of emotional recovery you’ll achieve in the end.”
“No problem; I’ve prepared myself.”
As Zhushi Jiu responded, the Black Soldier injected 1.5 milliliters of the pale blue liquid into his body.
One minute later, Zhushi Jiu felt his emotions gradually stirring within his body, and he maintained a poker face.
He realized something.
——1.5 milliliters were still too much.
