Chapter 54
Su Quan patted Dottie Underwood on the shoulder; her performance was very submissive, without the slightest evasion or resistance.
This was the truest expression of her inner submission.
"Do you want to leave here and see what the world has become fifty or sixty years later?"
Dottie Underwood, who had just found spiritual stability, was dumbfounded; her brain had lost the ability to direct her own actions, standing there like a piece of wood, staring blankly at Su Quan with both eyes.
What does this mean? He—he can leave the Void???
Dottie Underwood turned her head in disbelief to look at the elderly Loki.
"Yes, he can!" The elderly Loki confirmed her guess with a normal expression.
Isn't it said that the Void is the final end?
Isn't it said that no one can leave the Void?
I haven't read many books, don't lie to me!
"For us, the Void is a cage from which we can never escape; either die, or wait for death."
"But for him, the Void is a backyard where he can come and go as he pleases. Now you know why I collected those useless pieces of trash you mentioned, right?"
Useless trash refers to dollars and gold and silver jewelry.
Dottie Underwood took a deep breath, suppressed her shocked and restless mood, and calmly stated her answer.
"I will follow your arrangements."
Su Quan held Dottie Underwood with one hand and summoned Lei Shenzhichui back with the other.
"You only have one chance to betray me."
Su Quan's voice sounded.
Dottie Underwood was just about to express her stance when she suddenly discovered that they had appeared on the roof of a high-rise building.
Looking far into the distance, she saw buildings lined up in rows, vehicles shuttling on streets crisscrossing each other, and pedestrians coming and going constantly.
As far as the eye could see, it was prosperous and lively, beautiful and charming.
"You gave me a new life; I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not betray you!"
Dottie Underwood might not know the meme about saying important things three times, but she knew how to better express her meaning.
"Have you heard of the Leap of Faith?" Su Quan walked to the edge of the roof and suddenly asked.
Dottie Underwood shook her head.
"Jump down."
"Okay."
Dottie Underwood didn't ask anything, there was no hesitation on her face, she took a running start with her long legs and jumped directly from Su Quan's side.
This building was over ten stories high; jumping down would mean certain death!
However, Dottie Underwood jumped; without hesitation, she jumped without looking back.
Although she knew she must have thought this was a test for her and that it was impossible for him to really let her fall to her death, this decisiveness and obedience were indeed astonishing!
The wind whistled; Dottie Underwood looked at the ground getting closer and closer, with no fear or worry on her face.
Just as she was about to perish, a pair of strong and powerful arms caught her from below.
The abrupt stop of the fall made her let out a soft, pained groan, but a triumphant smile rose on the corners of her mouth.
She bet correctly!
Even if it were a ten-thousand-foot building, as long as you speak, I will jump down without hesitation!
This jump gained trust and also proved her value.
"This is Manhattan, New York, one of the frontiers of this era. Go stroll around by yourself, buy some decent clothes, and come back here to find me after you're done; I have a mission for you."
Su Quan took out a bank card and told her the password.
The cash in the Void doesn't necessarily come from which timeline or which universe; even if it's real money, there's a possibility it can't be spent.
"Okay."
Dottie Underwood took the bank card with a smile, chose a direction, and left full of expectation.
In the Void, Su Quan asked her if she wanted to leave and see what the world would be like fifty or sixty years later; how did she answer?
I will follow your arrangements!
Just now, Su Quan told her to stroll around by herself, buy some decent clothes, and come back to find him after she was done; how did she answer again?
Okay!
This is a manifestation of the relationship progressing further.
The establishment of any relationship goes from strange to familiar, from reserved to at ease.
She gained initial trust, proved her value, and formally established a stable superior-subordinate relationship.
This "familiar" mode naturally makes her mentality and behavior gradually relaxed and at ease.
When she returns, Su Quan plans to inject her with the Super Soldier Serum, letting her open up territory and train personnel for him.
The Red Room's set of training methods still has some merits.
Su Quan, preparing to fly up to wait for her, suddenly noticed a foot sticking out from behind a trash can not far away in the corner of his eye.
Someone hiding behind the trash can?
Su Quan walked over curiously to investigate, but the person behind the trash can seemed to hear him approaching, shouted in a panic, turned around, and ran away.
"I didn't see anything, don't chase me!"
Su Quan laughed dumbly, not knowing whether to praise this person for being smart or stupid.
You ran, so you ran; what are you shouting for? I wasn't planning to chase you, but with this shout, it's as if you really saw something shameful; now I have to chase you!
Isn't this like saying "there are no 300 taels of silver buried here"?
Figures crossed, positions changed; the moment the shout fell, Su Quan appeared directly in front of her, blocking her path.
