Chapter 194: Hive Mind (1)

Chapter 194: Hive Mind (1)

Kanon spoke in English, which both Gu Yi and Dennis could understand.

Dennis looked at Kanon and replied with a smile:

"Ah... Miss Hattori? I know you, you're the illegitimate daughter of the great tycoon Hattori Ningji, right? Hey, it really is fate playing its hand, letting you also adventure into this weird world."

Dennis scoffed disdainfully.

He was once a citizen of Sakura Country, where he did not have an easy life. His company went bankrupt and closed down due to the suppression from the great tycoons, forcing him to sleep under bridges every night.

If not for these people, Dennis would not have turned to a life of crime.

Kanon did not respond to Dennis, but instead smiled and nodded at Gu Yi, "Mr. Gu, I didn't expect to meet you under these circumstances. You are quite the hotshot celebrity right now."

Gu Yi did not speak, merely nodding as a response.

"Alright, with time being of the essence, let's not waste it on pleasantries. Can you talk about your current progress in the storyline? What valuable information have you all gathered?"

Gu Yi did not speak but took a step back to look at Kanon and Dennis.

Dennis was the first to speak, curling his lip,

"I've made a deal with the police, they've asked me to go undercover to collect evidence of Er Gou's crimes. As long as I help the police catch Er Gou, I can get a million years off my sentence, directly becoming a second-class citizen."

"You actually didn't cooperate with Er Gou?" Kanon asked in return.

"Because I found that guy to be quite cunning. I worried that cooperating with him would be dangerous, so working with the police felt safer."

"Mr. Gu, what about you?"

Gu Yi touched his nose and said, "I've gained Er Gou's initial trust and have now moved into Er Gou's casino. Unfortunately, I've been targeted by the police and have to report to the police station every day."

"Me too..."

Kanon detailed her own experience of meeting with Er Gou, including the incident of Er Gou using the Traveler Star race's techniques in the casino.

The three adventurers were now in the same boat, and cooperation was their only choice.

When Gu Yi heard about Er Gou going to the dark street for some strange ritual, he immediately interrupted Kanon.

"Wait, what did Er Gou say when he was squatting in the corner?"

"Um... not sure, it was some kind of foreign language?"

"Can you roughly imitate it?"

"What?"

"We all know there's a mapping relationship between the real world and the Weird World, so can we also influence each other in parallel worlds?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right?" Dennis shook his head, "This has been confirmed by others, no need to doubt it."

"No, it hasn't.

Those experiments were conducted before Kanon's skills appeared. Theoretically, our three dungeon worlds are three parallel lines that do not interfere with each other, but Kanon can intersect these three parallel lines in the Hive Mind space.

Your ability has just awakened and hasn't been strengthened yet.

Like me, my talent initially only served for reconnaissance and exploration, but now I can use it to learn skills and knowledge, and I've also mastered the ability of psychological suggestion.

Perhaps, your talent now has many limitations, I guess as you continue to explore the plot and keep using your talent, your Hive Mind will definitely become stronger.

Therefore, to maximize the development of your talent, I suggest to act this way."

As he spoke, Gu Yi opened his right hand and took out paper and pen from the black orb's space, speaking as he wrote.

The two watched in astonishment at Gu Yi's ability to create something out of nothing, too scared to even breathe heavily.

Kanon was even more shocked.

In the Hive Mind space, Kanon was the only god. Once she pulled someone into the space, others couldn't use any weird powers, yet Gu Yi was able to use his abilities unimpeded.

No wonder Gu Yi could become a seasoned adventurer.

"My suggestion is that we tackle this dungeon along three different strategic paths."

"How so?"

"First, you, Dennis."

Gu Yi pointed at Dennis with his pen and said,

"Cooperating with the police is a good choice for you. With us providing information, you can easily help the police catch Er Gou. Once you successfully advance to a second-class citizen, don't rush to upgrade further. Just keep your status as a second-class citizen until you clear the dungeon."

Then, Gu Yi looked toward Kanon.

"Kanon, the Er Gou storyline isn't suitable for you to pursue. You just need to maintain a good relationship with him. The forces behind him are much more complex than you imagine, and aside from me, no one can delve into the Er Gou storyline on the deepest level."

"Then... what should I do?"

"Er Gou has a daughter, did you know?"
