Edward opened his mouth and wanted to say, of course I understand.

But when he met Xie Qi's eyes, he found that he couldn't say it.

This feeling of being seen through is too bad. When you see through a person, then this person is no threat to you.

Edward usually enjoys this feeling of being superior to others, but he didn't expect that it would be returned to him now.

"You said I don't understand myself, then do you understand me? We have only met three times including this time. You just analyzed these from that file, do you think you understand me completely?"

Feeling the other party's humiliation and anger after his thoughts were exposed, Xie Qi did not get angry, but asked back: "I don't think I understand you completely, I just understand myself, and you and I are essentially the same kind of people, but I completely accept myself, while you have been hiding yourself, which makes you and me different."

He stretched out two hands, one hand is the front and the other is the back.

Then suddenly put his hands together, crossed them and clenched them into fists.

"How did you do it? I mean, what made you realize what your true self is like?"

Edward stared at the fist that was combined into one, and seemed to be talking to himself.

"The true self has no fear, no expectations, will not be affected by any external things, and will not doubt whether its existence is reasonable or not. As long as you take a step, you will find how beautiful this new world is."

Xie Qi circled around Edward and put his hands on his shoulders.

The two were of similar height and build, and the picture standing together was very harmonious.

Confused thoughts were colliding in Edward's mind, as if to break through the barriers he set up from the outside world, including himself.

The barrier was very hard, but transparent.

He could clearly see the other side from this side.

He had reached out his hand before, trying to break this barrier, but he was powerless.

Perhaps it was because of the views of the outside world, or perhaps it was because of his inner doubts.

All the voices were telling him that his life was going well, his family was happy, and he had everything good in all aspects of society.

Wealth, fame, love, status...

These are what everyone is pursuing, but they can't satisfy him.

Destruction, violence, blood...

Everything that doesn't follow the rules, everything that society despises.

These are what he enjoys and is extremely eager to see.

A touch of madness suddenly emerged from his eyes, which was keenly captured by Xie Qi.

He raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, let go of Edward's shoulders, and walked to the opposite side of him.

"You can't be considered a gentleman without a smile~."

He pulled up the corners of Edward's mouth with his fingers, and pulled a strange smile.

When he let go, the smile seemed to be fixed on Edward's face, and Xie Qi nodded with satisfaction.

"What are you going to do?"

Edward asked the question again.

But now his tone is completely opposite to the beginning.

There is no speculation and questioning, but he is eager to try.

The intense heartbeat supplies blood to the brain, and bloodshot gradually climbs up his eyes, and the whole person seems a little neurotic.

"Of course I'm different from those who have no dreams."

Xie Qi took a few steps back, turned smoothly, and stretched out his hands, as if dancing a waltz.

"I will tear down all the previous rules and rebuild my new rules."

"Citizens don't need to believe in a hero, and don't need an intelligent brain that can only control everyone according to the program. They only need a thorough revolution, a riot to cleanse all sins and so-called heroes!"

He turned around, then stretched out his hand to Edward, as if inviting him to dance with him.

Edward lowered his eyelids and stared at the hand, "Are you inviting me to cooperate?"

"Believe me, I'm not suitable to be a collaborator."

Unexpectedly, Xie Qi would say this, and Edward kept smiling at him.

"But I'm even less suitable to be an enemy."

Xie Qi winked at Edward and raised his outstretched hand.

"Haha, hahaha! This plan seems very interesting."

For the first time, Edward laughed without caring about his image, and then shook the hand.

The two reached an agreement tacitly.

Sergei had been waiting outside the door and saw Edward and Xie Qi come out together.

When he found out that the boss was actually seeing them off in person, he thought about it for a while, but he didn't show it on his face, but he was no longer so cold to Edward.

"Where did you find your assistant? He looks very professional."

Edward was in a very good mood and teased the cold blond man after he came out.

"Sergei is my most capable subordinate. You can't find the same one outside."

Sergei said.His expression remained unchanged, and his mood, which had been unhappy due to Edward's rude words, immediately turned into a happy mood.

Xie Qi and Sergei stood there and watched Edward enter the elevator, and the number on it gradually decreased from 45.

"Boss, this person is not very controllable. Do you need me to send someone to monitor him?"

"No need."

Xie Qi patted Sergei on the shoulder.

"The basis of cooperation is trust, especially for people like him. Once your presence is discovered, the cooperation will break down, and it may also make us an enemy. Why bother?"

"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't think it through."

"It's okay, what I said just now was sincere. No one can do better than you in this position, Sergei."

Xie Qi smiled and comforted the assistant, but suddenly changed the subject.

"Besides, surveillance is already done for us. We can just go pick the peaches."

Realizing what Xie Qi said, Sergei immediately said seriously: "The computer team has been formed. The internal members are the best hackers in each state. It is guaranteed that the internal system of Gotham City Brain can be broken within one day, and its highest control can be obtained without being discovered by others."

After hearing the news, Xie Qi nodded and yawned.

"I believe in your ability. I am a little sleepy. I will go to sleep first."

"Okay, boss, I will turn away all the visitors. You should have a good rest."

Xie Qi waved his hand and turned to walk towards the bedroom.

Before Sergey could straighten up his bent back, he heard the voice in front of him muttering in a familiar teasing tone:

"Seeing madness and worshipping madness, seeing violence and pursuing violence, thinking that they are different, but in fact they are just following the crowd, ha! It's so easy to understand."

With Sergey's intelligence, based on this nonsense, it is easy to analyze that this is talking about the person who just left.

Sergey naturally knows how well the boss understands human nature, just like himself, even though he knows that the boss's compliments may not be sincere every time, he still can't help but feel happy when he hears them.

No matter how smart and sober that person thinks he is, in front of the boss, everyone is just a puppet being controlled.
