'Alice again?' I was shocked by her sudden request.
I didn't imdiately believe her words. I was just engaging in this conversation solely to gather information about my mother. If I sensed anything suspicious, my plan was to activate Mind Shock and then use my suggestion ability when she was at her most vulnerable state.
'Maybe I could use this to my advantage,' I thought to myself. I had nurous questions for her—about the door, my mother, and that foundation.
"Why should I help you?" I asked, my voice firm and arrogant. I wanted to establish that I was in control of this conversation. That she needed , but I didn't necessarily need her.
"What do you an? OPPA, Alice is your …" She wanted to say sothing but ended up stopping midway.
"She's my what?"
"I can't tell you, but we really need to save her." She tried to explain herself.
"Then, I won't help her," I warned.
She was shocked by my words and paused for a mont.
"OPPA, if you don't save her now, then you will regret it after you unlock that door!" She started to walk closer to .
"Stay back," I commanded, keeping her distance.
The air felt tense, and I remained vigilant, uncertain of her intentions.
'I don't have plot armor like those naive MCs, so better be safe than sorry,' I thought to myself, acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the situation.
She stopped and looked troubled by my words.
"OPPA, you're being an to Sister Alice!" She pouted her cheek.
"Hey, I don't even know you, so stop acting like we are close," I reprimanded her.
"We are close! That's why you need to help rescue her!" She exclaid.
"Then tell everything first. You can't expect to just believe you? I'm sorry, but I'm not an idiot," I sneered at her with contempt. Did she really think that she could guilt-trip into helping her? I was too petty to even consider that.
Now we were at a standstill. To be honest, I was curious about Alice as well, but this girl was withholding a lot of information, making it hard for to trust her.
'I will save herself alone then,' She sighed and then turn her head away.
'A chance!' I took this opportunity to use my Mind Shock.
A powerful ntal wavelength was unleashed from within . It was so fast that I only blinked, and the energy was already close to hitting her.
SNAP!
I heard a snap sound, and suddenly I witnessed sothing that almost made cursed out loud—the girl vanished and reappeared in front of in a punching position.
"Stone Body! Aegis!" I activated my skills, and a blue armor instantly covered , while I felt that my body beca harder.
*BOOM!
A mini shockwave rippled through the air after her fist collided with my Aegis. I managed to withstand the attack, but it was no ordinary punch. It felt more like being struck by a speeding truck, racing at 70 km per hour.
"Stop moving," I commanded.
[Suggestion: Failed]
'I knew it.' Seeing that it did not work, I used Telekinesis to create a distance between us by pushing her away.
"I almost died from that punch," I shook my head, still trying to maintain a tough facade.
"Did you just tried to do sothing with my mind, OPPA? Don't bother. Aunt gave immunity from your power," a smile ford on her face. "And you're the one who attacked first!" she added.
"My mom gave you immunity?" I was shocked by her revelation. Could she really be telling the truth? This was really a problem. I'm too used to controlling people, and now I'm having a hard ti trusting anyone I don't have control over.
"Prove it, and I will help you," I began to converse with her again.
I don't think I would lose to her if I get really serious. With Aegis and Telekinesis, the mont she attacks , I would stop her movents montarily and then crush her using the six hands of my projection.
But I'm really curious to know if she was really telling the truth or not.
"I can't tell you much because I'm under oath to Aunty. But if you want proof, then this is the only thing I could give you," she replied as she pulled out her wallet. Then she picked up a photo.
The photo suddenly vibrated and shot through the air, but I was able to stop it with Telekinesis.
"This…" I was stunned to see the picture.
It was and six other girls. I could recognize three of them in the photo. Alice was there, and this violent girl, but the last one was soone I only recognized on TV. It was Sung Hei, AKA the Song Goddess of Asia.
I attempted to scrutinize the picture for any irregularities, I found none. Then, as I delicately flipped the photograph, my eyes caught a detail etched in my mory—my mother's unmistakable handwriting and signature.
'Why can't I rember everything about all of this?' I asked myself. After increasing my intelligence, I could recall everything that happened to in the past in detail, but there were still so things that seed to be blocked.
"Do you believe now, OPPA?" she asked again, her voice now more calm.

'So, the system really wanted to save Alice,' I mused inwardly after seeing the mission again. Seeing this, now I was a bit more sure that this girl was telling so truth, and was not that hostile.
If she was really after , then her speed alone was enough to take down if she tried to assassinate . But she did not do it, aning the chance of her going after my head was low.
"Alright, I will help you, but you at least need to tell what you can say. I'm not comfortable with working with soone I barely rember or know," I replied,
"Okay, OPPA!" She nodded, excitent lighting up her face after hearing committing to save Alice.
