The latter naturally understood, so he began to explain what had just happened and also about their upcoming shopping trip together.

Ling nodded when she heard this, and was somewhat happy. After all, no matter how good her brother was, he was still a boy.

There are always some disagreements when shopping with him, for example, I just want to look around for a while longer, but my brother always urges me impatiently.

(Zhe: No, it took me over an hour to pick out a piece of clothing. I really wasn’t the one rushing her!)

Zhe didn't look at what Ling was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have complained.

Seeing that his sister did not show any dissatisfaction or complaints, Zhe felt relieved.

At the same time, on the other side, Jane, who had just won an opportunity for Seth, had returned to the transit station, and the former was locked up in a cell again.

She began to count the supplies for escape, and only felt relieved after making sure that they were fully prepared. With these, the survival rate would be slightly improved.

But it's only a little bit. Now that things have come to this, I must seek a breakthrough in the duel with Seth.

She was mentally prepared to complete the mission and leave a bite on the mountain lion's neck.

"Well, what's that in your hand?"

Jane, who was thinking, suddenly noticed the thing in the hand of the gatekeeper. Although it looked a bit shabby, it was carefully and exquisitely made, and seemed to be an amulet.

"Ah, Miss Jane, this is what you're talking about. I found it by chance while on patrol. I thought it looked nice, so I brought it with me. Oh, if you like it, please accept it as a reward for helping me bring 'Porter Mountain'."

The gatekeeper handed the amulet in his hand to Jane, and then ran away without looking back without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Oh? You wait... Oh, forget it."

Amulet? If it really works, please bless my next plan to go smoothly. Ha, just kidding.

Jane chuckled, checked it, and then put the amulet into her pocket without taking it seriously. Compared to this...

The place where I left my little brother to guard was the direction of the crack that the mechanism in the passage warned me would appear.

He said he's been on duty at this transfer station and is familiar with all the shortcuts to the hollow rifts in the area. I can only bet that what he said is true...

"Please, please be safe..."

A worried look appeared on Jane's face at this moment, and she prayed quietly.

(There’s something captivating about this casual vulnerability.)

Due to the loss of two worker hostages and the upcoming showdown, the leader of the Mountain Lion Gang, Riza, decided to evacuate early, and the restless gang members began to pack up in a hurry.

Jane was still thinking about how to break the deadlock when Riza's confidant suddenly found her and said he wanted to take her to the Lion's Den.

Such a sudden change made Jane unable to take care of the supplies she had prepared before, so she had to improvise her escape plan.

Everyone else was busy packing up to facilitate evacuation, and no one noticed that the two figures in the cave had seen the entire process.

……

In the evening, the two people who had been shopping all day finally returned to the video store.

"Huh, it's finally over. Is it because of the two extra people? The shopping time actually lasted so long."

Zhe said this with a slight feeling of tiredness. Obviously, with his current physical condition, this amount of exercise was nothing to them.

This kind of fatigue is more reflected in the spirit. In fact, Caesar and Bernice had no intention of trying on clothes, but were persuaded by Ling.

In the end, they kept strolling around until so late before coming back. Ling couldn't help but laugh at her brother's condition.

"Eh? Brother, are you no longer able to do this? You're usually so energetic when bullying me, but why do you seem so useless now?"

Zhe looked at Ling with a disdainful smile on her face, and inexplicably wanted to teach her a lesson, so he spoke in a deep voice.

"Ling, you should consider the consequences of saying something like that."

"Well……"

Ling immediately shut her mouth, and couldn't help but think of the time her brother deliberately gave in to her, and she felt proud for a moment, but then she was taught a lesson and even begging for mercy was useless...

Suddenly feeling a little scared, he shook his head, then looked at Zhe and began to please him.

Zhe didn't say anything about this, and at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Odilea and Odette walked in.

"You guys went to the Balai Building Hollow again, right? How was it? Did you find anything?"

Zhe looked at the two people in front of him. Of course he knew the sisters' actions and allowed it.

After hearing his words, the two sisters first nodded, then shook their heads, their movements were so consistent that they could almost be said to be mirror images.

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Zhe was confused, and Odette began to explain.

"My sister and I did find the amulet in the cave, but... it was taken by someone else before us. It wasn't convenient for us to take it at the time, and now it has been taken to another place."

"Somewhere else?"

"Yes, that's right. Because there were so many people there, it was difficult for us to take it by force, so I sent Mu Mu to steal the amulet back..."

Odilea stopped talking here, obviously her plan had gone wrong.

At the same time, a little white snake that was accidentally packed into a box during a secret sneak attack was quietly waiting for its owner's rescue.

Well, I should be able to wait, right? I won't be abandoned, right?

The little white snake is hypnotizing herself. After all, with the number of enemies around her, she is such a small creature that she will definitely not be able to escape if she is discovered!

I am weak, pitiful and helpless. Master, please come and save me!

……

"Does that mean Mu Mu has been taken away by them now?"

"Well, yes, Master, but on the bright side, I can use her to locate the whereabouts of that group of people."

Odilea stretched out an index finger with a calm expression, while Zhe stroked his forehead helplessly.

I thought it was just a matter of finding the amulet, but it's become so complicated? Never mind, I just need to bring Mumu and the amulet back...

"By the way, Master, there's something I need to report to you. We saw the young lady who came to borrow the videotape earlier in that gang. They also kidnapped a man they call the sheriff."

Odette raised her little hand, and Zhe couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this.

It seems like I have been accidentally involved in something serious?

……

"This is... Hollow Zero?! The Lion's Den is actually hidden inside Hollow Zero?"

Jane walked out of the crack and looked at the surrounding scene. She immediately guessed where she was and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

But the Mountain Lion Gang's henchmen on the side smiled smugly.

"Hehe, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Those cowards from the Public Security Bureau don't dare to go deep into the danger zone, but we mountain lions are not afraid!"

Jane understood everything at this time. The Mountain Lion Gang knew the location of the stable crack in the companion cavity that could connect to cavity No. 0.

Every time he escapes, he sneaks into the area around Hole 0! That's why the bureau can't catch him no matter how hard they search. No wonder the transit station has to prepare plenty of anti-corrosion supplies.

I'm afraid it was used when hiding in Cave No. 0, and then escaping through the cracks after avoiding the wind.

"I admire you. This is indeed a dangerous strategy that only a skilled and daring person can come up with."

Jane couldn't help but sigh, but this confidant dismissed it.

"Don't be envious. You'll be able to join this talented and daring team soon, as long as you're... qualified!!"

As he spoke, he suddenly reached out and pushed Jane from behind, forcing her to fall to the bottom of the platform.

Although he reacted quickly and landed it easily, Jane still questioned him angrily.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"The duel venue is on the stairs ahead. You can go up as long as you gather all the conditions."

"Wait a minute, I haven't heard there's a qualifying match before the showdown?"

Such a sudden change made Jane feel a little uneasy, but the guard did not give her a chance to argue, so she had no choice but to move on.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhe and the two sisters had arrived in front of a crack, and Ogilita suddenly nodded with certainty.

"Yes, it's here. Mu Mu's aura extends all the way here."

"It seems that those people must have left through here, but where does this rift lead to?"

Zhe fell into deep thought. At this time, the transfer station was empty. It was not difficult to guess that they all entered another cave through the crack.

If we enter rashly, we might alert the enemy. What's more, this matter involves the sheriff, so we need to be even more cautious.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go over and take a look."

After Zhe said this, he activated his talent and rushed over. Because of the effect of his talent of invisibility, with his current strength, it was difficult for ordinary people to detect him.

The two sisters and Ling who was controlling Bomb were a little worried about this, but they had no time to speak and could only wait obediently for a while.

After crossing the rift, Zhe did not see any enemy. After looking around, he realized that this was Hole No. 0.

At the same time, he also noticed Jane who was about to complete the level not far away, so he retreated back to the rift and came over again with the two sisters and Ling.

This time, he happened to see the scene in the distance where Jane climbed up the stairs and was about to be attacked but successfully counterattacked.

Zhe and others realized that something was wrong when they saw this. However, just as they were rushing over, Jian on the platform was attacked again.

A sharp pain came from behind, and the unexpectedly strong impact made Jane fall out.

"Disable one hand. That is my order!"

Hearing what Riza said, Jane was panicked and a little bit unbelievable, but her face still showed incomprehension and anger.

"Riza... Boss? Why...why?"

Jane thought her identity was exposed, but after hearing what Riza said next, she just felt it was ridiculous.

The other party asked her to deliberately lose to Seth after she went on stage, and then he would personally defeat the latter in order to consolidate his position.

"Ha, ha... ha ha! So, you're putting on this whole charade just because... you're afraid of losing face and status?

I thought... you knew some secret... cough! Turns out it was just... a stroke of luck...!"

Jane herself was so angry that she laughed. She was playing Infernal Affairs here, but she didn't expect that people like Riza were just playing house!

Chapter 172 The Magic of Tampering with Cognition

"Secret? What do you mean?"

Riza still didn't react after hearing what Jane said, but the latter couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Haha... such petty ambitions, such meaningless ambitions... all just fighting for the petty power of a street cat leader... how hilarious!"

How could Riza, who was angry just because he lost face, listen to such ridicule?

"Your arrogant attitude and arrogance—that's what I hate about you. But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of time now. Let me teach you my rules!"

With a roar, he swung his fist again, wanting to hit Jane in front of him, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the terrified screams of his brothers behind him, followed by a huge force hitting his chest.

"Ah? You are..."

Jane looked at the figure standing in front of her, a look of confusion and doubt on her face.

Riza, however, covered his slightly sunken chest with his hands and shouted angrily again.

"Who are you? How did you get in?!"

Who else could be standing in front of Riza besides Zhe? He didn't hide anything at this moment.

Even his clothes were the same as before. He was standing there openly, but Jian couldn't recognize his identity. Then Zhe spoke indifferently.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I can't just sit back and watch you try to hurt this lovely lady."

"what?"

Riza frowned, but Jane, who was protected by Zhe behind him, felt something in her heart. Bomb Ling, who was listening to all this not far away, subconsciously covered her chest.

Unlike Jane, the person involved, she didn't feel moved, but...

How could my brother say something like that so casually?! This is so childish, I'm almost embarrassed for him!

What supported Zhe in saying this was the talent he had just purchased.

Cognition Tampering Magic (A): When facing a target with a lower Charm than you, the master, the other party will not be able to detect your true identity.

(Note: Similar to how a magical girl can't be discovered after transforming, the inspiration comes from the demon.)
