"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 imdiately 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: Co with .)
(Xiao Xue: What are you doing?)
(You: Soone's here to capture you. I'll take you to a safe place.)
(Xiao Xue: Capture ? 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 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 becos 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 becos startled.)
(You: I can tear your mouth apart at any ti. You'd better behave and not do anything rash.)
(Xiao Xue nods.)
(After ten minutes, Er Gou arrives.)
(You stay hidden inside the room, unable to hear what he's saying, but from afar, Er Gou's expression looks cold.)
(Finally, the nightclub's people leave.)
(Er Gou first checks your room, then cos directly to the workshop.)
(Er Gou sees you and Xiao Xue.)
(Er Gou: It's fortunate, you're quick-witted.)
(You: It's nothing.)
(Xiao Xue bites your finger, drawing blood
(You let out a small gasp and release her.)
(Xiao Xue: You kidnappers, you're all criminals.)
(Er Gou: We're trying to save you.)
(Xiao Xue: Nothing good happens around you. Save ? My ass!)
(Er Gou: Didn't I tell you? Constantine is here.)
(Xiao Xue: That's just your excuse.)
(Xiao Xue curses loudly and storms out.)
(Er Gou stands silently.)
(You quickly chase after her.)
(You: Your father is really trying to save you.)
(Xiao Xue: I don't need his help. He's a liar, full of lies.)
(You: He's your father; why would he harm you?)
(Xiao Xue: I've known for a while. You're in cahoots with him, aren't you? I overheard you chatting. You both graduated from Wapeng High School. That place is full of cold-hearted people. Go ahead and be your high-level citizens. I just want to be a low-level citizen.)
(You: Calm down, okay?)
(You use psychological suggestions on Xiao Xue again, finally calming her down.)
(You ponder for a mont.)
(You: Why do you think your father is lying to you?)
(Xiao Xue: Because he is lying. He's never told the truth. He keeps following , spying on , monitoring . Is that what a father should do? He caused my mother’s tragic death just for the sake of researching those baseless magical rituals. He's a selfish person.)
(You: He's doing sothing important.)
(Xiao Xue: Important? For what?)
(You: To give everyone freedom.)
(Xiao Xue: Freedom? Ha! Maybe he should start with freeing himself first. Uncle, why don’t you ask yourself honestly? What kind of price does one have to pay to graduate from Wapeng High School? To reach his goal, he abandoned his own parents and family. One day, he’ll do the sa to .)
(You suddenly fall silent.)
(Xiao Xue steps forward and grabs your collar.)
(Xiao Xue: Let ask you; the top student of Wapeng High. If killing would bring world peace and freedom for all, would you do it?)
(You: That's the difference between 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 sothing 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 becos 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 sa person in a short ti 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 sll 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.)
