I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Page 5

She frowned and carefully read through 1玲坝罒四巫翏y/*ue<-已_(.

She stared blankly at Yun Yi, who was deep in thought but couldn't hide his naivety.

Swire felt as if he had been numbed by the barrage of information.

She was even able to remain rational and advise Yun Yi, the person who should have been advising her.

"So what? The definition of a person has been constantly changing and has never been completely unified. As long as you still consider yourself a person, then you are a person."

"That makes sense," Yun Yi murmured. Indeed, there seemed to be no need to dwell on it.

Her core essence remains unchanged.

Even with the sudden addition of a source of pollution, it doesn't seem to change the fact that she is human at her core.

As long as she doesn't change her original code of conduct because of the new settings, then the core will not change in the future.

What doesn't change is nature, that's what people are.

But speaking of which, haven't I forgotten something?

Yun Yi's thoughts flashed for a moment, and he suddenly remembered something:

"System, didn't you say that the biggest possibility of me not signing the contract is permanent imprisonment? If my soul can directly cause death, how could I be imprisoned?"

[When the subject is weak, only when the core information is actively spoken and heard by the opponent does it possess invincible destructive power in this world.]

So if you don't hear it, it has no lethality, right?

Wearing earmuffs or remotely controlling a non-receiving device can solve the problem.

No wonder.

Yun Yi fully understood his powerlessness, and consequently, he was no longer so unable to accept his sudden identity as the source of pollution.

To put it bluntly, it's a finishing move, but it's a first-encounter type finishing move with many limitations and is easy to avoid.

"Permanent imprisonment? The one you mentioned earlier?"

"Could I also take a look at the relevant information?"

Swire's expression showed disgust, purely directed at the act of imprisonment.

"can."

As soon as Yun Yi had a thought, some more content was added to the screen in front of Shi Huaiya.

Swire reads quickly and finished reading in the blink of an eye.

"The cleaning operation at Longmen must continue without stopping for a moment!"

Swire gritted her teeth, but also felt apologetic: "I'm sorry for forcing you to sell yourself."

She still remembers the contract that had been altered beyond recognition, the last word of which was undeniably that she would be a kept woman.

This refers to being kept as a sugar daddy or sugar mama in the universal sense.

Swire is an independent person who even went so far as to leave his family to become a police officer.

Putting myself in Yun Yi's shoes, one can imagine the psychological pressure Yun Yi felt when accepting and using this contract.

For Swire, businessman, policeman, and rich kid were just identities.

The abilities and biases that come with one's identity can make one more flexible.

However, Swire is less flexible when it comes to things that involve bottom lines.

Otherwise, she would have intervened in the city she loved long ago as a pure businesswoman, making it better.

The results might not be different, and it's even possible that the effect would be better.

But she didn't do that.

There are many reasons, but the main reason is that I can't fool myself.

Similarly, Yun Yi, who was constantly being pushed closer to danger while talking to the system, must have gone through the same struggle before deciding to live off a woman.

Yun Yi faced an ideological enemy that was far too powerful, leaving him no choice but to compromise.

Shi Huaiya recalled those four words: eternal imprisonment.

If being imprisoned for a short time is so painful, how much more painful would it be to be imprisoned forever with no end in sight?

Shi Huaiya couldn't help but sigh. Yun Yi was too pitiful, forced to choose his future amidst inhuman suffering and self-distortion.

Hopefully, she can reconcile with herself soon.

Perhaps I should tell her that being kept as a sugar daddy isn't entirely shameful; sometimes it's just a profession, a transaction.

Moreover, even if it's not a respectable matter, most of the time the source isn't the person being kept; at most, the person being kept is an accomplice.

Is something wrong?

Poetry and Tiger's Ears Turned Back: Then wouldn't she become the principal offender?

Forget it, I'd better not say anything. I feel like saying it would only increase Yunyi's psychological burden.

Why are you apologizing to me?

The clear, elegant voice brought Shi Huaiya back to reality, her thoughts drifting to the ends of the earth.

Yun Yi looked up and expressed his doubts: "I don't think there's anything in these conversations that you should apologize for."

"If you were imprisoned, I think it's most likely the work of some *Longmen foul-mouthed* people from Lungmen."

Swire's expression was complicated. "If that's really the case, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty on my part as a police superintendent?"

Or rather, she was actually failing in her duties while fulfilling them.

Despite working tirelessly day and night with my colleagues, this city is still rife with ineradicable evils.

Frustration? Not really.

It's more of a feeling of helplessness at the long road ahead, and a driving force that arises alongside it.

Otherwise, she, who is usually extremely strict about treaties, wouldn't have made up her mind to sign the agreement after just asking a few questions.

A system with no end in sight, people with no end in sight, and the apparent basic morality of the treaty's owners—its authenticity is questionable…

But Swire truly felt that this might be the answer she was waiting for.

She had to consider whether this was the only chance she would ever have in her life.

When they came to their senses, their names had already become chains binding them together.

The process was both magical and real.

Although it was a bit creepy, it brought a corresponding sense of security that couldn't be ignored.

As it turns out, she now realizes...

If Yun Yi is imprisoned, then who is most likely to take action?

People from Longmen.

—Her answer, her sense of security, arose entirely from her dereliction of duty.

This is so ironic.

"I am not a resident of Lungmen, how could you be guilty of dereliction of duty?"

Yun Yi's voice interrupted Shi Huaiya's elegant thoughts.

Yunyi felt that the police in Longmen had no obligation to help or protect her.

Even if it were true, Swire was stating a fallacy.

“But you are a person who can think and feel pain. If something happens to you in Lungmen, then of course Lungmen should be responsible.”

Swire, with his tiger tail taut, spoke with certainty.

Yun Yi guessed that there might be some police-related professional knowledge here that she was unaware of.

But if she didn't know, she didn't know; she didn't care.

Yunyi believes that, in the face of Swire, who is trapped in his own logic, this is a challenge.

This expertise is merely an invisible armor.

No need to understand, just break it.

ps:

Yesterday I was so engrossed in updating and making up for missed updates that I almost missed the daily active users for several games. Today I need to remember to play the games first before updating.

...After staying up all night to finish writing, I feel like I'm about to ascend to heaven. I'll go to sleep now. I set a timer, and it should be published around 7 o'clock.

In short, good morning, good afternoon, and good night everyone.

By the way, I saw the author I'm following talking about bounties. Is it really necessary? I don't understand. Looking back... I'm so sleepy, I need to set the timer before I go to sleep...

Damn it, I forgot that "jin" and "ping" are sensitive words!

By the way, I've already added the 4,000 words from the previous chapter. If you find that the lengths of the two chapters are significantly different, it means there's a bug in your update that caused it to not be synchronized. Just unfavorite and then favorite it again to solve this problem.

Finally, as is customary, the cooler M-badger?〡罒』qi si wu liu G:

New author, new book, please support me!

Book 1, First Impressions: Chapter 4, Is this correct? (Why can't the system be embedded in the ground?)

"Shi Huaiya."

Yun Yi called out to the person in front of him, interrupting their thoughts.

Swire looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Haven't you noticed how arrogant you are?"

As he spoke, Yun Yi stood up and walked to the table, pulled up a chair, and sat down. He then tapped the table with his finger and said, "Sit."

"arrogant?"

In an instant, one face after another flashed through Swire's mind. The owners of those faces had all, to varying degrees, spoken of "arrogance," either directly or indirectly.

Some of them were correct, and they helped her adjust her mindset.

But most of them are derived from various reasons.

These are just excuses used to achieve a goal, and some of them may even be completely unfounded.

Swire was therefore somewhat sensitive to this word, especially when it was used to describe himself.

The pain of rumors and gossip cannot be felt until one experiences it firsthand.

Swire never underestimated it.

Labels like arrogance are sure to easily stir up these undercurrents...

Shi Huaiya shook her head, shaking off these unnecessary thoughts.

She took the initiative to sit opposite Yun Yi, turning her attention back to him who was still staring at her. "Why do you say that?"

I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, "I don't know if you've ever heard it before."

Yun Yi tapped his temples, closed his eyes for a moment, and then recited what he had been recalling:

"That's what the saying goes."

"With great power comes great power."

With great power comes great responsibility.

"Let me ask you, with your abilities, or to be more specific, as a police officer, can you mobilize enough resources to cover the entire Lungmen?"

Even the most remote and obscure place?

"Even places frequented by the upper class?"

"……no."

Even adding your own business acumen won't work.

Poetic sentiments are elegant and self-aware.

She wouldn't deceive herself at such a crucial point.
