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

Isabella will pour all this knowledge into the girl in front of her, and she will absorb it quickly like a sponge under hypnosis!

……

Half an hour later.

"It was the anxiety of loss and the desperate desire for love that made her 'see' the non-existent dragon..." Isabella took Leila's hand and walked out the door, speaking the pre-numbered lines to the crowd, "The mind, like the body, sometimes catches a cold..."

In the crowd, Vivian's red hair looks particularly eye-catching.

"A passing psychologist?" She frowned slightly, a hint of caution in her eyes. "Excuse me, could you please allow me to check on Miss Leila again?"

"Go ahead." Isabella nodded with a smile.

It's okay. The dragon scales on this girl's hands have already faded... Besides, I've already taught her how to hide her spiritual power. Vivian shouldn't be able to see it at all...

Well, foolproof!

At this moment, Vivian took out a talisman from her pocket.

"I'm sorry, I need to pry into your memory for a moment," she said to Leila. Seeing the latter's obvious fear, she added, "Don't worry. I swear in the name of the Holy Light that this will not cause you any harm."

Third-level mystical spell, memory reading?

Isabella was a little nervous, but considering that she had already modified the girl's memory, nothing should go wrong... In fact, Leila didn't even realize that she had become a superhuman.

After the spell was activated, a stream of light like water flowed out from between the girl's eyebrows.

Vivian reached out to touch it and closed her eyes.

"So, it seems like what she saw was truly an illusion..." Vivian thought after confirming Leila's memory. "However, there are indeed traces of supernatural power left at the scene, so this is definitely not just a simple mental issue!"

In addition, she also read the process of the woman who claimed to be a psychologist and her "talk therapy" for Leila.

...very suspicious.

This treatment process is too hasty.

With just a few simple words of guidance, the girl poured out all her inner distress... Vivian didn't know much about the so-called "psychotherapy", but according to common sense, there must be a process for doctors and patients to get to know each other and establish a new relationship, right?

But in Leila's memory, this process was completely invisible.

This woman, claiming to be a psychiatrist, is likely using some kind of mind control technique! Furthermore, her presence here today is definitely not accidental; it must be related to the incident!

Thinking of this, Vivian looked at the "psychiatrist lady" with more alertness.

This incident is more complicated than I initially anticipated... The other party possesses extraordinary powers such as mind control. If they can use it on Leila, they can naturally use it on me...

Fortunately, I still have a secret spell on me that can enhance my mental resistance.

Vivian narrowed her eyes slightly.

The duty of the church's exorcists is to protect the people from the invasion of supernatural forces... But many times, many problems cannot be solved simply by fighting. Therefore, the exorcists must always consider various complex possibilities and prepare multiple response strategies in advance to be prepared for any eventuality...

Many senior members of the team have mentioned these experiences.

But it was Lor who really made Vivian understand this personally... While arbitrarily regarding Lor as a role model and competitor, Vivian had unknowingly developed the habit of thinking "what would Lor do" when encountering problems.

She has grown up.

Well, first I had to calm this suspicious "psychiatrist" down, then create an opportunity for solitude to avoid implicating the people around me in a conflict... And when she wasn't paying attention, I had to use a spell to increase my mental resistance to prevent her from controlling me...

"Well, Miss Leila seems to be fine now. She is in good physical and mental condition." After making up her mind, Vivian seemed relieved and said slowly, "...Madam, your 'treatment' is indeed very effective and impressive."

"Haha, of course! I'm a professional after all!"

Isabella's nose was lifted to the sky when she heard the compliment, even though she was not a real psychiatrist and had not done any treatment for Leila.

"That way, the matter is perfectly resolved." Weiwei paused, then continued, looking rather uneasy. "Hmm... Isn't it a rare opportunity to meet a mental health expert? I happen to have a problem that has been bothering me for a long time, and I'd like to consult you... Um, should we go somewhere else?"

To be honest, Vivian, who is honest by nature, is not suitable for "acting", so she seems particularly embarrassed.

However, this embarrassment made her look like she really had something to hide.

It can be regarded as a mistake.

"Of course no problem, I'd be happy to!"

Isabella, still in a daze, agreed readily.

59. Sort of? Exactly!

Very good, we successfully led this suspicious "psychologist" to a secluded and deserted place.

Vivian thought.

Then, the next step is to use the third-level secret spell in my pocket to increase my mental resistance while she is not paying attention!

But the problem is, her eyes are always fixed on me, and I really can't find an opportunity.

I have too many talismans on me. Finding the right one would take at least two or three seconds... This would definitely alert the other party...

The other party is most likely a transcendent with the ability to control minds. If she takes action before me...

"It should be ok to walk here, right?"

Isabella, who was playing the role of a psychiatrist, said:

"At this distance, no one else will overhear our conversation... You can confidently pour out all your troubles to me, Miss Exorcist! So, what is the issue you'd like to consult about? Workplace relationships? Romantic entanglements? The influence of your family of origin?"

"Um, let's talk about... workplace relationships?"

Vivian was still pondering her next course of action, somewhat absentmindedly. Furthermore, she didn't have any questions to ask, so she just picked one at random.

"Oh, I see." Isabella was clearly a bit uninterested. "You're so young and pretty, you must be very popular... I thought you must be having love troubles..."

How come this person is the same as my colleagues who love gossip?

Vivian silently complained in her heart.

"It does have something to do with 'love'." She hesitated for a moment, but decided to play to his will and delay for a while until she found the right opportunity to make her move.

"It's both a workplace relationship issue and a relationship issue... an office romance?"

Isabella immediately became alert:

"Could it be that you've fallen in love with a colleague at church? Even though he's married, you've been working with him day and night. Over time, it's inevitable that you've been drawn to his intelligence, handsomeness, reliability, and gentleness. So, your secret crush on him has only grown stronger, but you're torn between confessing your feelings and finding it difficult to express them."

Vivian had a question mark on her face.

She thought to herself, I haven't said anything yet, and you've already made up so much in your mind?

Furthermore, who is this perfect man you describe in your words? Is there such a person in our church?

"Let me ask first...why do you feel that way?"

"Just tell me if I guessed right!" Isabella grew increasingly agitated. "Just so you know, don't try to trick me. I'm a professional, specializing in analyzing people's true thoughts through subtle clues! This technique is called... what's it? Yeah, 'micro-expression observation'!"

Vivian swallowed nervously.

What is certain is that the lady in front of me is definitely not a genuine psychologist.

But for some reason, I always feel that the aura she exudes at this moment is full of oppression.

This reminded her of last week, when she had wanted to stay at the church and work overtime, but Stanley, a senior, used his "intimidation tactics" and forced her to visit his home...

Wait, the art of powerful words?

Vivian suddenly had a plan in her mind.

She had recently mastered this second-tier divine art, but she had never had the opportunity to use it in actual combat... Plus, "offense" was her forte, and her use of "powerful words" was far inferior to Senior Stanley's...

it's fine.

The advantage of the "art of powerful words" lies in its rapid launch and unexpectedness.

As long as I can temporarily stun this suspicious "psychiatrist" lady in front of me, even if it's only for a few seconds, it will be enough! In this way, I can buy myself an opportunity to activate the secret spell in my pocket!

"actually……"

Under Isabella's gaze, Vivian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and looked like she was about to muster up the courage to confess everything.

However, when she opened her eyes again, she suddenly activated her spiritual power and shouted:

"still!"

At the same time, he quickly reached his right hand into his pocket, ready to take out the stack of secret spells placed in it.

However, at this moment, Vivian suddenly noticed that the "psychologist's" eyes suddenly changed color... from the calm green like lake water to a shocking deep red!

And this eye color looks quite familiar.

Exactly the same as Lor's fiancée...

The next second, Vivian's thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and she froze in place with a wooden expression.

……

"Hmph, how could a low-level divine art like 'Powerful Words' possibly be effective against me?"

Looking at the red-haired exorcist who had fallen into a hypnotic state, Vivian curled her lips and muttered to herself, "It seems that what those wives in the home economics class said was right. The existence of 'husband's female colleagues' is indeed something we must guard against..."

But when did she start to be wary of me?

My acting skills should be flawless, right?

Never mind. It doesn't matter.

"Alas, Miss Vivian... To be honest, I don't understand how you feel." Isabella sighed softly. "After all, my Lor is indeed a good man. It's normal for you to be tempted... Tell me, what do you really think of him?"

"Lor?" Vivian said calmly, "He's trustworthy and a role model for me to learn from and emulate."

"Well, what else?"

"Although he appears to be diligent and never late or leaves early, he actually slacks off with Senior Joyce whenever he gets the chance... Although his behavior isn't against the rules, I really can't agree with it."

"...That's it?" Isabella looked a little confused.

"Oh, and he's obviously a bit greedy. Every time he receives a bonus or expense reimbursement, he can't hide the smile on his face... And before being chosen by 'Liu Guang', he only praised the Holy Light once, on Mondays when he received his salary."

"No, besides these, don't you have any other thoughts about him?" Isabella couldn't help but say, "For example, do you think he's handsome and likable?"

"If you insist, I guess so."

"What do you mean by 'considered'? 'Exactly!'" Isabella corrected.

"Okay." Vivian replied expressionlessly under hypnosis, "I'll remember that."

"Also, although he looks a bit bad, he's actually very thoughtful and caring!"

Isabella counted on her fingers, summarizing Lor's advantages like a treasure:

"He's also very clever, even smarter than me! He's also kind and gentle, and treats his own people very well. Last time, he racked his brains to get more credit for you! And more..."

"Yes, I remember everything." Vivian nodded repeatedly.

……Um?

Isabella suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Wait, Vivian is now in a hypnotic state. If I praise Lor in front of her, wouldn’t that be like planting a hint in her mind?

In this way, even if she originally had no romantic feelings for Lor, she would fall madly in love with Lor in the future!

Oh no, oh no!

"It doesn't count! What I just said doesn't count!" Isabella panicked. "Forget it, forget it all! Just keep your opinion of Lor the same!"

……

The human mind is as unfathomable as the ocean.

Anyone who tries to manipulate the mind will easily fail.

After today's lesson, Isabella will be more cautious when using hypnosis in the future... and she will never think of playing the role of a "psychologist" again.
