I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

Indifferently, little Lina spoke word by word, with a flash of violence in her eyes.

Hohenheim's face was solemn, and he answered in a hoarse voice:

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Stop pretending, Mr. Hohenheim."

Xiao Lina's tone suddenly dropped, and she snorted coldly, her expression seemed to be stained with a layer of frost.

"Do you think I don't know what you did?"

"You hypnotized me, didn't you?"

Indifferently, little Lina picked up a book on the corner of the table and raised it with a sneer.

Hohenheim's expression gradually became dull.

When he saw the book in Lina's hand, his expression turned visibly pale.

"Great, this is the expression I want."

Xiao Lina sneered and then said:

"Your acting skills are superb. If it weren't for your negligence, I might still be kept in the dark by you until now."

"You figured out the actual effect of my scar magic from the very beginning and made corresponding countermeasures."

"Although I don't know how you did it, considering the reason why Miss Katarina is investigating you, I'm afraid you are related to the Empire of Joy."

"In short, you have obtained information about my rebellious nature and successfully deceived my eyes."

As she spoke, little Lina's face became gloomy and her tone became gradually faster.

"Then, you took advantage of this information gap and hypnotized me."

Chapter 41: Layers of Traps

Gu Qinghan’s purpose was simple, to continue deepening Lina’s hypnosis.

However, for someone with Lina's personality, advancing the depth of hypnosis too quickly is a very dangerous behavior.

The current hypnosis depth (favorability) of 10 points is not enough to dispel her doubts and may even cause trouble.

Therefore, Gu Qinghan thought about it and found a solution.

Take the initiative to expose yourself.

Since the other party will find out sooner or later, it’s better to blow myself up with her first.

Then, Lina will "solve" the problem herself.

This way, little Lena would be firmly convinced that there would be no more problems with Hohenheim.

So, Gu Qinghan made a plan for today.

When he was massaging little Lina, he secretly used the hypnotic effect after the reversal to control her body and make her feel thirsty.

Naturally, little Lina noticed the glass of water on the table.

In that state, even if you know it is poison, you can still enjoy it.

What's more, the liquid was colorless and tasteless, and looked no different from plain water. He even dropped a little lemon juice into it, making it more fragrant.

So, little Lina, who couldn't resist the temptation, ordered Gu Qinghan to get her some clean water, and then drank it without any worries.

The soul hypnotic potion was swallowed into her stomach and then absorbed and spread throughout her body through the blood.

The second hypnosis was successful.

But Gu Qinghan would not be satisfied if it just stopped here.

His purpose was not only to strengthen hypnosis, but also to solve the suspected problem once and for all.

Therefore, the grand stage has just begun and is ready to begin the show.

Under the effect of Lina's carving magic "Reversal of Fate", the drug was reversed again and became a drug that only hypnotized the body without affecting the mind.

Gu Qinghan used the second enhanced hypnotic potion to issue a key order.

Greatly increase the sensitivity of Lina's body, the bigger the better.

It would even be better if little Lina could feel the abnormal condition of her body.

So, there is a subsequent plot——

"You should also go wash your body, don't dirty my sheets."

After being affected, Xiao Lina used this as an excuse to get Gu Qinghan away and began to look for items in the room.

It was because she noticed that her body was unusually sensitive that she became suspicious of Hohenheim and wanted to look for evidence in the house.

So, the second trap that Gu Qinghan prepared for her came into play.

——"The Secret of Hypnosis".

Gently turning over the gray-black cover, Gu Qinghan opened the thick imitation book and browsed through it casually.

The crooked handwriting on the title page was actually written by Gu Qinghan himself, but it caught Xiao Lina's attention in a second.

This was a gift Gu Qinghan specially prepared for her.

People always resist the answers given by others, but are more inclined to believe what they discover themselves.

Gu Qinghan's goal was to induce her to believe the contents of the book and discover the so-called "truth" herself.

Next, Gu Qinghan lowered his gaze downward and looked at the detailed notes in densely packed small characters, revealing a peaceful smile.

The contents of the diary are so filthy that they are simply unbearable to read.

The evil hypnotist Mr. Hohenheim recorded all his dirty tricks in a book, and deceived Lina time and time again to play with her in his hands.

Little Lina will be furious when she reads these words.

What's with the "I had already guessed her notching magic" thing.

Something like "She actually thinks she can control me, it makes me laugh to death."

And some seemingly [more critical] information.

"What makes me feel most ashamed is being intimate with the opposite sex in public."

“What I enjoy most is the intimacy of being in a private room.”

"It's good that she forgot everything."

Gu Qinghan lowered his eyes and saw the last line of densely written words, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

By this point, little Lena found herself completely fooled and fell into a rage.

In her little head, details of the past two days emerged, as if she had found corresponding evidence for all of them.

Although he was not hypnotized, he pretended to be struggling and helpless;

He clearly had a backup plan, but he pretended to be at his wit's end.

Whenever she saw the expression on Hohenheim's face, she couldn't help but sneer and felt excited.

But it was all lies.

It's all acting.

She was the one being fooled.

It is conceivable that with Lina's personality, her emotions would be out of control after reading this text.

There must be only one thing on her mind.

Get it all back.

To make matters worse, they "insulted" him in a more excessive way.

Just as mentioned in The Secret of Hypnosis.

——Maintaining close interaction with Hohenheim in public.

That was where Hohenheim felt truly ashamed.

So far, little Lina believes that she has completely recovered her lost memories, and is confidently planning to show her skills and return the favor a hundredfold.

In fact, this was Gu Qinghan’s third trap.

From the beginning to the end, Gu Qinghan's purpose was very clear.

——Lifting house arrest.

Only by walking out of the room and following Catalina to participate in the interrogation process can he avoid being identified by the spies of the Empire of Joy and break the deadlock.

Lina fell into the trap set by Gu Qinghan again and again, and finally Gu Qinghan's plan was advanced again.

This is great news.

The reason why his plan went so smoothly was, after all, because little Lina was a naive girl.

Although she has many bad habits, they are still a little immature compared to the real darkness in this world.

After all, anyone who has been in society for two years knows one thing.

Why would a good person write a diary?

Gu Qinghan smiled indifferently, closed the real "The Secret of Hypnosis", and placed it carefully on the bookshelf.

As for the fake "Secrets of Hypnosis", it was burned to ashes and thrown into the trash can.

"Well, now it's time to get down to business."

After taking a long breath, he turned and walked to the window of the cabin and gently pulled aside the black curtain.

As the setting sun shines, the afternoon on Dieter Street seems very peaceful. Occasionally, two or three people pass by, each exuding a hint of laziness.

At the end of the field of vision, Lina's figure can be vaguely seen.

Gu Qinghan's eyes were sharp as he stared at the tiny shadow in the distance. The magic power in his pupils formed a cyclone that slowly flowed.

There is one last thing that needs to happen before the curtain on the stage can fall.

Check the other person's mental state.

"Hypnotic Depth Perception."

Gu Qinghan opened his mouth slightly and silently recited the name of the ability, and then the magic power in his body began to flow rapidly.

Om-!

A brief sound of air flow lingered, and a large text appeared in Gu Qinghan's mind. As his consciousness sank, Gu Qinghan quickly found the information he needed:

[Name]: Lina

Hypnotic Depth (Loyalty): 22

[Her body is absolutely obedient to you, and her heart wants you to be absolutely obedient. ]

[Warning]: The target is quite hostile to you, please proceed with caution.

Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Qinghan's eyes flickered after he finished reading the text.

The plan worked.

Chapter 42: In broad daylight

In the early morning, birds are singing.

On the streets of Diet, there are busy pedestrians and a scene of laughter and joy.

Since the end of Richard's incident, the house repair work has been carried out in an orderly manner and has improved significantly.

The number of snack stalls has more than doubled compared to the past.

The branches of the trees on both sides are hung with red lanterns, as if to celebrate some event, and it is very lively.

The brief and precious daily life adds a touch of brilliant color to this frontier city.

However, the City of Love today is different from the past.

The main reason, of course, is that the annual "Hot Spring Banquet" is approaching, and many businessmen have begun to organize and prepare for it, spending money to promote it.
