Chapter 213: Teenage Rebellion (2)
"That stupid woman, whose side is she on?"
Gu Yi cursed inwardly. Fortunately, he had deducted in advance and discovered that Xiao Xue was a complete traitor.
Is being a hostess really that appealing to her? Even at the cost of her life?
Gu Yi closed his eyes again.
(Deduction Start!)
(You push the door open, bypass the thugs, and head straight to Xiao Xue's room.)
(You open the door and find Xiao Xue struggling to free herself from her bindings.)
(You immediately use psychological suggestions to calm her down.)
(Noisy footsteps echo from outside the door.)
(You notice a strange expression on Xiao Xue's face.)
(You quickly step forward and grab her arm.)
(You: Come with me.)
(Xiao Xue: What are you doing?)
(You: Someone's here to capture you. I'll take you to a safe place.)
(Xiao Xue: Capture me? Is the nightclub owner here?)
(Xiao Xue opens her mouth to shout, but the psychological suggestion hasn't worn off yet, causing her to hesitate.)
(You quickly hoist her up, bypass the house, and hide her in the workshop by the back door.)
(The strong cognitive interference there prevents the thugs outside from entering for now.)
(Xiao Xue leans by the window, staring blankly at the thugs outside.)
(Xiao Xue: That's my boss.)
(You: He's a vampire who skins you and drinks your blood.)
(Xiao Xue: He gave me a job, a place to live, food to eat, and a place to bathe. Why is he a vampire?)
(You: Do you actually feel grateful to him?)
(Xiao Xue: Shouldn't I be?)
(You remain silent.)
(The noise from the thugs wakes up the casino staff.)
(A dispute starts between the two groups as the nightclub thugs insist on storming into the casino.)
(The casino staff don't dare to stop them, as Er Gou isn't present, and they can't openly defy a high-level citizen.)
(The nightclub's people begin searching the casino.)
(As the psychological suggestion wears off, Xiao Xue becomes restless, seeming to want to call for help. But you quickly approach her and cover her mouth.)
(You open your right palm, summon the black orb, and use it to smash a nearby wooden box.)
(Xiao Xue becomes startled.)
(You: I can tear your mouth apart at any time. You'd better behave and not do anything rash.)
(Xiao Xue: Let me ask you; the top student of Wapeng High. If killing me would bring world peace and freedom for all, would you do it?)
(You: That's the difference between me and your father. I wouldn't kill you; I'd kill the person asking the question.)
(Xiao Xue: Liar, just like my father.)
(Xiao Xue leaves.)
(You follow her, trying to use psychological suggestions again.)
(The effect of the suggestion has little effect; she no longer trusts you or Er Gou.)
(You terminate the deduction!)
Gu Yi shook his head.
Based on the information provided by Kanon, Constantine would remain here for a while.
If Xiao Xue returned to the nightclub, who knows what dangers she might face again?
If something happened to her, what shocking things would Er Gou do?
And how can his own plan proceed smoothly?
Due to the influence of the power of rules, the trust between Xiao Xue and Er Gou could never be restored.
The more you interact with Xiao Xue, the more apparent it becomes that communication with her is futile.
Her deep-seated bias against her father is almost impossible to change.
Since she can't trust her father, he must make her trust himself.
Moreover, Gu Yi discovered a small detail: using psychological suggestions repeatedly on the same person in a short time reduces its effectiveness.
Therefore, he must gain Xiao Xue's trust within three uses of the skill, before its cooldown period.
"Let's start!"
Gu Yi closed his eyes once more.
(Deduction Start!)
(You leave the room.)
(You head straight to the nightclub entrance, observing your surroundings.)
(The nightclub's main door is tightly shut, and as a low-level citizen, you can't enter.)
(Security guards stop you and attempt to drive you away.)
(Not wanting to waste your skill cooldown here, you circle around to the back entrance and crawl into the nightclub through the ventilation duct.)
(Your feet briefly leave the ground, causing an electric current to sweep through your body. You quickly press your toes against the duct wall to avoid triggering further electric shocks.)
(You arrive at the lounge, where the girls are all sound asleep, completely unaware of your presence.)
(You smell a hint of blood.)
(You approach a private room door, guarded by two thugs.)
(You use psychological suggestions to drive away the two thugs.)
(You gently push the door open.)
(The scene before you almost makes you vomit.)
