br>After firing a few shots, the values hadn’t changed much.
The durability had dropped by 1 and the energy was reduced by 5%.
Therefore, Si Sheng left this g*n… to let him defend himself?

Xu Sili was very confused.

Just then, the guards outside the door abruptly rushed in.
Xu Sili hurriedly held the laser g*n, defending in front of himself.
He stared at the guards warily.
They saluted him respectfully and fearfully.
Before he could say anything, they ran to deal with Mary’s body.
The expression of fear was probably caused by Si Sheng.
They hadn’t reacted so much when Xu Sli first came back.

Xu Sili pursed his lips and didn’t relax.
He was almost killed twice in a row and this made him a bit frightened.
In this strange alien world, the situation faced by the new emperor Snow Roland was too dangerous.
The strength he currently possessed wasn’t enough to keep him alive.
Even…

Xu Sili silently thought about the skill panel and another light screen jumped out.
The only singing skill he had learned, Capture, was on cooldown.
The cooldown time was still…

29 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes.
It was a full month.
Xu Sili’s expression slightly stiffened.
He held the laser g*n tightly in his hand and closed the skill panel.
He wasn’t surprised by the cooldown time of this skill.
After all, it was really too powerful.
It ignored the level difference and could easily turn others into his puppets.
Still, it was troublesome.
It meant he didn’t have any more skills to defend himself.

His eyes fixed on the guards.

[Respect], [Friendly], [Friendly], [Respect]…

The only thing he felt thankful for was the favorability system.
This at least allowed him to discern the enemy at a glance and he didn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
It was just that…

Snow Roland’s personal relationships were really worrying.
As the emperor, he wasn’t even respected by all the guards around him.
It was no wonder that the popular support rate was so low there was a risk of rebellion.
Xu Sili felt helpless but he didn’t immediately act.
It was useless to say anything without strength.

Soon, the guards took away the dead Mary and asked the maids to change the carpet.
Janice arrived and directed the maids to clean up the mess.
She intended to approach Xu Sili but she saw him holding the g*n alertly and stopped.
She just increased her efforts to urge the maids to act.

Before long, the bedroom was cleaned up and the air purification turned on.
Perfume was also sprayed, completely eliminating the strong bloody smell.
Once everyone left and only Janice was left, Xu Sili relaxed a bit.

Janice came to the bed and looked at him lovingly with her red eyes.
“Your Majesty, are you okay?”

Xu Sili was still a bit uncomfortable, especially when her head had the ‘mom fan’ suffix above it.
In any case, he had a bit of trust in her.

“I’m fine,” he answered calmly.

Janice blamed herself very much.
She was shocked and angry at Mary’s betrayal.
“Your Majesty, I was negligent this time.
I will thoroughly investigate the maids in the palace and give you an explanation!”

Xu Sili nodded but he felt that Si Sheng was probably already doing it.
Just then, he heard her ask, “Then Your Majesty… do you need me to stay with you tonight?”

She said it was for company but it was actually for protection.
She was also worried that the young man would be too frightened to sleep.
Xu Sili was somewhat moved.
However…

It was the first time they had met.
Even if the other person was loyal instead of malicious to him, it was impossible to sleep in the same room as a stranger of the opposite s*x.
Xu Sili thought about it.
“Go and sleep next door.”

The palace of the Roland Empire had nothing.
There were probably many empty rooms.
After all, the only royal family members were him and Joan Roland.
It had been passed on for so many years.
This ending was quite bleak now that he thought about it.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Janice replied respectfully.
“Do you have anything else you want?”

Xu Sili was about to shake his head when he paused.
“Give me a glass of milk.”

“Yes, I will get it for you straight away.”

It didn’t take long before Xu Sili was left alone again.
He held a cup of hot milk and felt his slightly cold hands gradually warm up.
He inadvertently swept his eyes over the window, recovered his mind and hurriedly looked away.
The person wasn’t killed by him.
He didn’t need to be so nervous and afraid.

Knowing the truth and doing it was another matter.
Xu Sili held the glass and drank all the milk inside.
Once the milk ran out, he found that his fluctuations in mood had calmed down.
He placed the cup of milk on the bedside table and finally made up his mind.
He pressed an option on the light screen.

[2.
Retain consciousness.
The puppet will maintain its original independent personality and self.
It is uncontrolled and has the right to disobey orders.
However, it can’t do any actions that will harm the master.]

What about eliminating Si Sheng’s consciousness? Could having a powerful puppet guarantee that he could live safely in this world full of dangers? He knew too little about this world.
It was like Mary who had just attacked him.
If it wasn’t for Si Sheng, could he rely on his own subjective judgment to find her and direct Si Sheng to kill her?

Xu Sili didn’t have that confidence.
Thus, he decided to take a gamble.
Let Si Sheng retain his consciousness on the premise that he couldn’t harm Xu Sili.
At least this way, there was the possibility of Si Sheng developing into an ally.
He needed this ally before he could protect himself.
As for the previous unpleasantness…

Xu Sili’s eyes flickered slightly.
Just remember, revenge was a dish best served cold.

As he was thinking this, a small line of words appeared on the light curtain in front of him.

[Ding~ Puppet ‘Si Sheng’ has successfully been contracted.]
