Have you had enough, Miss Vampire? It's time to get down to business.

Originally, Vann, who only had the strength of the second level, was unable to make a third-level talisman, but now the scale of his business has expanded, and he has hired several mystics in the association to help make talismans, so the variety of products is much richer than before.

As a result, Vivian went to his place to buy things more and more frequently.

What she was going to use today was a third-level mystical spell called "Memory Reading"... As the name suggests, the effect was to spy on the memory contents in the target's mind.

Generally speaking, people with extraordinary powers will always resist this kind of mind control spells, resulting in inability to read or distortion of the content, but Leila is just an ordinary person, so this shouldn't happen.

In this way, we can see the real situation at that time clearly!

……

Thinking of this, Vivian hurried back to the village.

However, as soon as I arrived at Leila's door, I saw that the girl who had been staying indoors and dared not leave the room was being led out of the house by someone's hand.

"I'm sorry, everyone..." Leila stammered, tears welling in her eyes. She looked at her parents and boyfriend in turn, "This dragon thing is completely fictitious. I just wanted to attract everyone's attention and get more attention..."

Everyone looked confused and seemed to find it difficult to accept for a moment.

Vivian was also a little confused.

"Ahem, let me explain."

Just then, a woman with glasses and pigtails spoke up. It was she who had taken Leila's hand and led her out of the room.

For some reason, Vivian felt that this woman looked familiar... Was it because she looked refined and scholarly, somewhat similar to Ms. Helen from our team? It didn't seem right either...

"Strictly speaking, Leila didn't do this on purpose, so please don't blame her too much."

The woman with glasses said slowly:

"It was the anxiety of loss and the desperate desire for love that made her 'see' the nonexistent dragon... The human mind is as unfathomable as the ocean. Cases like Miss Leila's are not uncommon."

"You mean... Leila, is she mentally ill?" Everyone looked at each other, confused. They were ordinary villagers with little education, and it was difficult for them to understand the flowery words.

"It's not a big deal," the woman with glasses replied gently. "The mind, like the body, catches colds from time to time. Miss Leila's condition isn't serious, and after my 'talk therapy,' her problem has been completely resolved. It won't happen again. You can rest assured."

"and many more."

Vivian strode forward and looked at the unknown woman with confusion. "So you're saying that the 'hallucinations' Leila saw were entirely caused by her own mental state?"

"I guarantee this with my professional expertise." The woman with glasses patted her chest.

"Professional level? Uh, excuse me, are you..."

"A passing psychiatrist!"

57. Extremely low probability situations

not long ago.

Isabella, who calls herself a "psychologist", comes to the door of the girl Leila.

She had wanted to play a role like this for a long time.

The world today has not changed much in general compared to the time when she lived, but after hundreds of years, some new things will always emerge.

The unheard-of profession of "psychologist" is one of them.

Isabella has read some related reports in newspapers and magazines recently.

It is said that psychologists use dream interpretation and hypnosis to explore the patient's subconscious, unravel the root causes of their abnormal behaviors, and reintegrate the fragmented minds... Among them, some case stories read like suspense detective novels, which are very interesting!

"Hypnosis and the like, this lady is really good at it!"

So she put on a pair of plain glasses, braided her hair into pigtails, and then used magic to change her facial features, eye color and hair color, becoming elegant and intellectual, and moving closer to the image of what she imagined a "psychologist" should be.

As for where the girl who witnessed the dragon lives, it is not difficult to find out.

After all, this village is not big, and the matter has already spread widely.

For Isabella, using hypnosis to change her cognition was a piece of cake and only took a few minutes.

The only problem is that Vivian got here first and has already started investigating... But it's not a big problem. Even if she does find out something, I can easily erase her memory.

Although, doing this to Lor's colleague makes my conscience a little uneasy...

But the situation is urgent after all!

Lor surely doesn't want Meimei's existence to be known and disrupt our peaceful lives, right? So, it's only natural for me to do this...

and many more.

No, I am the master and he is just a follower!

I can do whatever I want. Why should I bother thinking about how to explain it to Luo Er? Although, although the whole thing is indeed my fault, I am already trying to make amends, so Luo Er will definitely forgive me!

After all, he said he loved me...

Thinking of the confession that night, Isabella blushed and her heart beat fast.

So he quickly shook his head, cleared his mind, and refocused his attention on the matter at hand.

"I happened to be passing by and heard about this, so I wanted to do my bit to help," Isabella said, pushing her glasses up. She said to Leila's parents, who were standing at the door. "Let me introduce myself. I'm a psychologist, and maybe I can help your daughter."

"Psychologist?" The old couple looked at each other in confusion, having obviously never heard of the term. "You can also exorcise evil spirits? But the exorcist of the Holy Light Church is already handling this matter..."

"No, it's not exorcism, it's healing."

Isabella patiently explained, using technical terms she'd read in the newspaper, which she barely understood. "In my opinion, Miss Leila isn't necessarily possessed by an evil spirit. Her hallucinations are most likely a manifestation of neurosis, a panic attack."

"Nervous... what the hell? That exorcist did say that my Leila doesn't show any signs of being possessed by an evil spirit..."

The old couple was worried.

The lady in front of me gives me a very gentle impression. She looks very cultured and doesn't seem like a bad person... In that case, why not let her try?

"If you can cure her, that would be great... But ma'am, since you call yourself a doctor, how much will the treatment cost..."

"Ms. Leila is a case very worthy of study, so there is no charge." Isabella smiled.

……

Just like that, I met the girl who witnessed the dragon.

Then, on the grounds that psychological treatment required private space, he got the opportunity to be alone with the girl.

Isabella was quite proud and couldn't help but secretly feel good about her performance.

Humph, Lor, you can’t say that my acting is exaggerated anymore, right?

Thinking this, Isabella's eyes glowed slightly red as she slowly approached the girl named Leila. Leila had been cowering in the corner, trembling with fear, but once her gaze met Isabella's, she immediately calmed down.

She has entered a hypnotic state.

"Don't be afraid, let's talk first." Isabella said softly, "Tell me about yourself. What are you usually worried about and afraid of?"

"I... I'm afraid my boyfriend will leave me one day," the girl replied blankly. "He's smart, capable, and good-looking. Several girls in our village secretly like him... Even though he's already confessed his love for me and only me, I still feel a little uneasy..."

"Yeah! I know this feeling!"

Isabella nodded repeatedly, and Vivian's face and the gossip about workplace affairs that the wives talked about in the home economics class involuntarily appeared in her mind.

"Please go on and tell me all the troubles in your heart without reservation." Isabella continued to encourage, as if she was really a psychiatrist.

It’s not entirely because I think it’s fun or I’m too immersed in the play.

After all, to make up a reasonable "case story", you have to have some understanding of the parties involved.

...And so, the story of an insecure girl who "sees" a terrifying monster because of her subconscious desire for more attention from her lover gradually becomes clear.

Well, it seems that this lady is not only very smart, but also very creative!

This story is definitely worthy of being published in the newspaper!

Isabella proudly put her hands on her hips and raised her chin slightly.

After slightly modifying Leila's memory and discussing with her the lines to be said after leaving, Isabella slowly walked to the window, opened it, and let in Meimei, who had been waiting outside for a long time.

"Come here, Meimei," she said with a pleasant expression, "don't you have something to say to this sister?"

"Yeah." The little girl came in through the window, lowered her head, and came to the girl with a dull expression. She said in a low voice, "Um... I'm sorry, I scared you..."

"It's okay. I've already forgiven you." Under Isabella's control, Leila, who was in a hypnotic state, smiled kindly. "I never thought that the dragon I met that night would turn out to be such a lovely little girl."

"Then... let's shake hands and make peace?"

Meimei, who was a little nervous at first, immediately became happy and put her chubby little hand deep inside the girl.

However, the moment the two touched each other.

The surface of the girl Leila's skin suddenly changed... Starting from the fingertips, hard and dense scales gradually grew out and spread all the way to the wrists!

"Hmm?" Meimei, noticing something strange, tilted her head in confusion.

Isabella, who was standing by, widened her eyes instantly and took a deep breath.

Because she understood what the strange phenomenon before her meant.

In this world, a few ordinary people with potential will change after coming into contact with extraordinary powers, and then awaken the corresponding root power... and the girl in front of him, named Leila, has awakened the power of the "dragon" because of the touch just now!

Ah, this...

Isabella was stunned for a moment.

This is a situation with such a low probability, but I actually encountered it?

I originally wanted to clean up the mess before Lor came back and resolve the matter quietly to avoid being nagged by him later...but now, things have become even worse?

58. Vivian, grown up!

Don’t, don’t, don’t panic!

Isabella took a deep breath and said to herself.

This lady has always been very smart and can definitely handle this matter easily!

Having said that, I have to admit that things have indeed developed to this point and are indeed a bit serious... If nothing unexpected happens, this girl named Leila in front of me should be the first human being to awaken the extraordinary power of the "dragon" root in the thousand years since the extinction of the dragon clan!

The stakes are high.

Isabella thought about it and felt that she needed to cover up the matter first and make a decision after Lor came back.

Fortunately, Leila is still in a hypnotic state and everything is still under Isabella's control.

In addition, before starting the operation, she had confirmed Vivian's whereabouts... At this moment, Lor's red-haired female colleague should be investigating outside the village, but if nothing unexpected happens, she will come back here after a while.

If she realized that Leila had awakened extraordinary powers, things would be even more troublesome!

No, wait...

I can hypnotize you!

I was so flustered that I almost forgot about it!

Even if Vivian really discovered something, I can make her forget it completely... Her strength is only at the second level, and she can't resist my hypnosis at all!

Thinking of this, Isabella felt a little relieved.

But, hiding it from Vivian alone isn't enough. After all, the scales on Leila's hand are too conspicuous... If I want to prevent this from happening, I need to hypnotize everyone in this village...

Tsk, this is too troublesome.

We still have to find a way to make those scales on her hands disappear!

"Well, the book says... Covering oneself with dragon scales is one of the first skills a Dragon-origin Transcendent can master. It can comprehensively enhance their physical and magical resistance..."

Isabella looked at Leila's right hand covered with dragon scales again, recalling the knowledge she had learned in the vampire castle.

Yes, the power that appeared on Leila's body now was not permanent... She just naturally mastered the skills of the "Dragon" root after she broke away from Meimei and suddenly awakened her extraordinary power, and then unconsciously used it.

She must learn to control this power as soon as possible and take back the dragon scales in her hand!

After sorting out her thoughts, Isabella was no longer panicked.

"Listen up, Leila."

She stared at the girl who was still in a hypnotic state with her dark red eyes and said slowly:

"Time is running out. I will now teach you how to initially control the extraordinary power within your body... Be thankful, young lady, for this is the precious guidance of a demigod-level powerhouse!"

Even though the roots are different, many of the most basic things are the same.

For example, how to control spiritual power, how to show and hide one's extraordinary power, how to avoid backlash...
