The "Psychological Spoon" on Hobert had a passive skill that could block attacks from the ntal level. Each ti it blocked an attack, the "Psychological Spoon" would heat up.
Hobert had also done so research. Blocking ntal attacks around Sequence 7 would only make the "Psychological Spoon" slightly warm. Sequence 6 attacks would make it hot.
Hobert couldn't simulate Sequence 5 ntal attacks, so he didn't know the specific reaction. But according to the increasing reaction, the "Psychological Spoon" should beco very hot when facing Sequence 5 ntal attacks.
As for the ntal attacks of a demigod, the "Psychological Spoon" might not be able to block them at all.
After seeing Tim, the "Psychological Spoon" was hot, indicating a Sequence 6 level ntal attack.
Hobert couldn't imdiately determine whether Tim was a Beyonder of the Spectator pathway, or if he had a magical item of that pathway on him.
At the mont, he pretended to be a little dazed: "G-Good day, Ambassador, I, I, I'm sorry, I suddenly feel a little, a little uncomfortable."
He didn't pretend to be imdiately affected by Tim's hypnosis, because Beyonders of the "Lawyer" pathway not only had resistance to ntal attacks, but also had so resistance to attacks on the ntal level.
Hobert's disguise was perfect. Tim asked with a gentle smile, "Are you a 'Barbarian' or a 'Briber'?"
Hobert's expression was as if he was resisting sothing, but he still "told the truth": "Briber."
Tim nodded, which was similar to the information he knew.
No one would have thought that Hobert would beco a Sequence 6 so quickly.
"No wonder," Tim said, "You will completely forget the discomfort you feel now. Okay, please sit down."
Through the reaction of the "Psychological Spoon," Hobert knew that the other party's ntal attack was continuing. He had "resisted" until now, and it was almost ti. So he showed a gradually relaxed expression, his eyes beca blank, and he sat down according to Tim's instructions.
Tim added: "Drink tea!"
Hobert picked up the teacup and started drinking, finishing all the tea in the cup without putting it down.
Tim nodded with satisfaction: "Put down the teacup."
Hobert put down the teacup with a blank look, and couldn't help but admire his acting skills in his heart.
Seeing that the "hypnosis" had taken effect, Tim began to ask: "What clues did you get from the two 'Spiritual Cultivation Society' executives who were killed by you before?"
The "Spiritual Cultivation Society" was a cult organization established by a vice-leader of the "Judgnt Group." Its headquarters had been captured by a rcenary team before, and two executives had escaped to Backlund.
Military Intelligence Section 9 learned of this information, but after sending out informants to search without success, they posted a task for rcenaries.
Hobert turned this task over to Xio. Under Xio's plan, they killed two cultists in the dormitory of a textile factory.
There was also a dead person at the ti. Through spirit channeling, Hobert learned that the dead person was actually a spy sent by Ambassador Tim.
It was also through that spirit channeling that Hobert learned that the Feynapotter Kingdom had been supporting the actions of the "Spiritual Cultivation Society."
Later, when Hobert helped Carrie escape the recruitnt of the "Judgnt Group" and gave the information of the "Judgnt Group" to Military Intelligence Section 9, he connected all the clues through so information given by Byron.
Hobert answered: "They must have accomplices in Backlund, otherwise they couldn't have hidden so well."
He felt a little strange in his heart: This ambassador with a mustache is too cautious. They were just two abandoned pawns, did he need to take such a big risk to call over to ask?
Tim: "Why didn't you follow this clue to investigate further?"
"We were only interested in the bounty for those two cultists, there was no need to investigate further."
"Where did you receive the task from?"
"The rcenary Club."
Tim nodded, these all matched his guesses and investigations. Then he asked, "Did you kill Bolton?"
Hobert showed genuine doubt: "Who is Bolton?"
Tim took out a pre-prepared portrait, which was exactly the "Dawn Paladin" who called himself "John."
Hobert's mind raced: No wonder he risked calling over, it turned out he suspected that I killed those four mbers of the "Judgnt Group." Your suspicion is right, but the investigation thods are not very good.
Then he thought: Where did the mistake occur? Or was I followed by Tim's informant at the ti, so he suspected ?
Hobert carefully replied, "I've seen him."
Tim followed up and asked, "Where did you see him?"
"In the studio of a wild 'Artisan'."
Tim pondered for a mont, and asked again: "Did you kill Bolton?"
Hobert thought to himself: It seems he's not sure if I killed those people.
So he answered: "No."
"On the evening of Tuesday last week, did you accompany your assistant to negotiate with Bolton and the others?"
"Yes, but when we arrived at the agreed location, we didn't see them, we only found so traces of fighting." Hobert felt a little uneasy. This answer was a bit risky, but it was the best answer he could think of in an instant.
Tim's expression was obviously a little confused: "What else did you find?"
"There seed to be so water on the ground." Hobert breathed a sigh of relief, it seed Tim didn't know much.
Tim asked again: "Did you tell anyone else about this negotiation?"
"No." Hobert told the truth.
"Did you prepare to find other helpers to kill Bolton and the others?"
"No." This was still the truth, because Hobert alone was enough.
Tim pondered for a while before saying: "Okay, our conversation is over, you will completely forget our conversation just now. When I count to 3, you will wake up on your own, 1, 2, 3!"
Hobert seed to suddenly co back to his senses, his eyes regained their brilliance, and then he smiled: "Sorry, Ambassador, I, I seem to have been distracted just now."
"It's okay." Tim smiled: "I called you here today because I wanted to ask for so legal advice..."
More than half an hour later, Tim personally sent Hobert away from the embassy. Watching the carriage leave, the warm smile on Ambassador Tim's face gradually disappeared: "It seems we were looking in the wrong direction. Do you think he is still a suspect?"
The butler following Tim replied: "From my observation, his reaction was normal. I only found traces of Hobert and his assistant outside the scene. And judging from the windows at the scene, at least two people should have escaped successfully, but they were still caught up or surrounded and killed, indicating that the other party had set a trap long ago and had a large number of people. It doesn't seem like an action that Hobert and others could complete.
"There must be an organization behind them. Hobert said no, it may be that the relevant mories have been erased."
He suggested: "We can track Hobert and his assistant for a period of ti, and we will definitely find new clues?"
"No." Tim said, "This is Backlund, our tracking is exposed in the sight of Military Intelligence Section 9. It was already very risky to call Hobert to the embassy this ti."
He turned around, walking into the house while saying: "And we have bigger plans related to Hobert recently, don't ruin our plan because of four insignificant people."
The butler followed closely: "I understand, I will inform the 'Judgnt Group' that we have taken a series of investigations at great risk and can rule out the suspicion of Hobert and others. After all, he is only a Sequence 7, it is impossible to kill Bolton and others silently. Didn't Gale say that he left a trap? Then let them continue to investigate."
Tim nodded almost imperceptibly.
