’So uncomfortable... Who’s inside my head... Stop ssing, it feels terrible...’
Wen Nan paused.
...Forgot about this.
But this [subconscious perception], it’s one thing that it reacts to truth serums, but why is it also so sensitive to the Mind Reading Technique?
If that’s the case...
"Last night, soone used a drug in the private room. Why didn’t your perception react? Also, you got poisoned by the opposite side, why didn’t you have any reaction?"
Yin Zhi’en replied seriously, "Last night in the private room, I felt it, but the opponent was too strong. By the ti I realized sothing was wrong, I already had no chance to resist."
’Uncomfortable... So uncomfortable... Ah...’
Wen Nan nodded, accepting the explanation. After all, he was also cautious but still got caught; the person who tampered with things last night in the private room must have quite a rank.
At this mont, Yin Zhi’en continued, "As for the poison, I did react. I vomited as soon as I woke up today, emptied my stomach, couldn’t throw up anything more, otherwise, with your skill just now, I might have vomited on you on the spot."
’Uncomfortable... It’s not over yet...’
Wen Nan glanced at the countdown in his mind, "Sorry, once my skill starts, it can’t stop. There’s 6 minutes left, please bear with it."
Yin Zhi’en nodded with a pale face, thought for a mont, then asked, "What do we do now?"
"First, follow their instructions to the next designated place, follow the clues, and find them along with their hideout," Wen Nan said, looking at Yin Zhi’en, "Did your loyalty card get exposed to them?"
Yin Zhi’en thought for a mont and shook his head, "I don’t know. It shouldn’t have, right?"
Wen Nan spoke indifferently, "It’s better if it did."
"Huh?"
"Based on my speculation, even if you complete this handover task, they wouldn’t let you go easily. You’re a loyalty card; controlling a loyal person is far more useful than a regular NPC, although it’s relatively riskier," Wen Nan analyzed, "They should be manipulating you while being cautious of you. Try to act scared yet obedient in front of them, engage in subterfuge, and gather as much information as possible from their side."
Hearing this, Yin Zhi’en got interested, "Mission Impossible stuff? Act dumb and weak? I’m really good at this, trust ."
The note didn’t specify when to go to the next designated location. Wen Nan guessed the enemy camp must have arranged an NPC nearby in advance, just waiting for Yin Zhi’en to go make the handover.
Yin Zhi’en is the loyal card pushed out to act as a scapegoat, easily to et with them. The opposite side isn’t afraid of him being exposed, but going to the next designated location ans the person to contact there might be Wei Zhe’s direct contact, so the next eting wouldn’t be as simple.
This ti, Wei Zhe wants to manipulate Lv Qingqing, the character with identity information. If two big n, Yin Zhi’en and Wen Nan, go, the opposite side definitely won’t buy it.
They need a woman.
As he thought about this, at the sa ti, Yin Zhi’en hesitantly spoke, "Uh, senior, do you... accept cross-dressing?"
Wen Nan looked coldly at the other, "Don’t even think about it."
Even though he had [Eve of Many Forms], disguising as a young female character like Lv Qingqing wasn’t hard, but first, Wen Nan wouldn’t accept it. Second, he only had three bottles of [Eve of Many Forms], having used one last ti with Yu Shujun inside the Divine Staff Sheath, leaving a total of over twenty hours remaining, and he couldn’t bear to use it on this sort of thing.
"Oh," sensing the resistance, Yin Zhi’en didn’t bring it up again, only asking, "What do we do now?"
Wen Nan thought for a mont; if this thing worked, they needed to infiltrate Wei Zhe’s lair, so if it wasn’t Wen Nan himself, he must find a trusted female character.
Qiqi couldn’t be activated in this instance, Guan Ailin is his respawn point now and can’t take risks, and Yu Shujun/Jun Wuming is in his own instance task...
Thinking of this, Wen Nan stood up, "Follow ."
"Where to?" Yin Zhi’en quickly caught up.
"Find soone." Wen Nan didn’t elaborate, keeping pace towards the entrance of a normal school.
When Yang Mingzhong attacked Zhang Yanan, he did it quite cleanly. Although it’s unclear what thod he used to prevent his actions from being discovered, as seen from Yin Zhi’en’s transit work being uninterrupted halfway, the matter of Zhang Yanan being dealt with wasn’t imdiately found out by Wei Zhe.
However, the other side has quite a few inforrs and will likely soon discover the plan’s failure.
To follow the clues, they had to be quick, with only this one chance. The source of this is
As he thought of this, the two soon arrived near the usual school.
Not yet reaching the "tutoring" square, from a distance, they saw a crowd gathered there, bustling with activity.
It’s not even dinnerti yet, tutoring students holding signs haven’t been out yet, how co there’s so many onlookers?
"Seems like there’s a newly set up small stall over there?" Yin Zhi’en followed Wen Nan, craning his neck towards the crowd.
...Small stall? New one?
Wen Nan squinted slightly, suspiciously looking towards the gathering crowd. Read today on
Most people were trying to squeeze inside, while a few squeezed out, clutching opaque black bags, walking away stealthily like thieves.
Wen Nan stepped forward, grabbing one with a bag and asked, "Brother, what’s so lively they’re selling over there?"
The guy clutched his bag tightly, "Toys! Good stuff, go see for yourself!"
As if afraid Wen Nan would check his bag, the man briskly shook off his hand and quickly left.
Wen Nan’s suspicion deepened, he moved towards the crowd, struggling to finally squeeze in.
He saw Guan Ailin kneeling on a mat, energetically interacting with the surrounding crowd:
"This is too expensive!"
"If you think it’s too pricey, there’s a smaller one here, much cheaper, handso."
"But this is too small, wrong size..."
"Handso, don’t have much experience, do you? Size isn’t important, elasticity is more important."
"Really?"
"Really, you don’t believe ? You can buy it and try it out, guaranteed for exchange."
"Alright, pack it up for ."
Wen Nan stood among the crowd, looking at the pile of toys before Guan Ailin, feeling speechless.
This is... picking up the old trade?
In this era, it’s still quite a few years away from industrial upgrading, manufacturing is far from developed. These products requiring a certain level of industrial technology are indeed rare, it’s unsurprising to attract a crowd of passersby.
After all, most people back then chose to "start from scratch."
But do these things really not violate any laws in this place now?
Just then, Guan Ailin suddenly looked up, saw Wen Nan, and imdiately smiled sweetly, "You’re here?"
Wen Nan shook his head helplessly, "Co back with ."
Upon hearing Wen Nan’s command, Guan Ailin showed no reluctance, imdiately stood up, and began packing, "Not selling today, my man has co, I have to go back with him."
The crowd that had been grumbling now focused their gaze on Wen Nan, eyes full of surprise and envy, so even whispering, "Having such a woman at ho, won’t he be drained?"
So had managed to squeeze in, seeing Guan Ailin about to leave, unwilling to let her go, stepping forward to hold her back.
However, before reaching Guan Ailin, their hands were powerfully struck by a hard object from the side, causing them to cry out in pain and withdraw.
Wen Nan looked over and saw Minmin standing not far away, holding a long stick, genuinely looking like a fitting bodyguard, standing next to Guan Ailin, just with a face so cold it seed it could produce frost any mont.
Walking out of the crowd, Wen Nan asked resignedly, "Why sell these things?"
"To support you."
Guan Ailin said, pulling out a bulging paper bag from the big pack on her back, stuffing it into Wen Nan’s hands, whispering, "Here are five thousand bucks, not much, but you take it first."
