But... unexpectedly, she didn't hear the bell in front of her? No, she didn't even have her inner thoughts?! [What is that helmet?]
The inner thoughts have surfaced. I knew it! Even a girl with no emotional attachments can't be completely without anything on her mind. She does have things, but compared to a normal person, she doesn't have as many thoughts, and she doesn't think about them as often. You're truly amazing, Rin.
Even the ability to read minds almost failed.
But it's alright, I was prepared.
“But before that, I need to ask you a few questions,” he said with a smile.
"Okay, you can ask."
The blue-haired girl, wearing Mu Xiaoxiao's strange helmet, nodded. "Do you like me?"
"So exciting right from the start?" Even Ling paused slightly, her bright eyes flickering slightly. Mu Xiaoxiao's question was too abrupt, catching her off guard. But after thinking for a few seconds, she still answered, "I don't know."
I don't know why I like... things like that.
Sure enough, as she asked her questions, even she would unconsciously reveal her true feelings, which would allow him to peek into her secrets. Mu Xiaoxiao smiled smugly after getting the answer.
Bell, even if you're expressionless and have no personality, don't even think about hiding secrets from me!
"Have you ever been in a relationship? Have you ever had a crush on someone?" "No, I've never been in a relationship. I like older women."
But liking my sister... is different from liking a lover, right? I don't know. I've never been in love before, so I don't understand at all. As for Xiao Xiao, "You should know what a communication card means, right? Why would you ask me for this? Is it for your own safety, or for some other reason?" Mu Xiao Xiao bombarded me with questions, relentlessly pursuing me and not giving me time to think.
I have no idea."
The reason... I don't know, I just simply wanted it.
As Mu Xiaoxiao asked questions, Ling's true feelings gradually came to light in front of him. How to put it? At first, Mu Xiaoxiao could still smile, but the more questions he asked, the more speechless he became. His smile gradually disappeared, and he became expressionless, just like Ling.
Such questioning might indeed help me see through Rin's heart, but... it's a complete waste of effort! Because Rin is a girl who simply can't lie, she's completely consistent inside and out, so why would she need a mind-reading helmet? Just ask her directly and she'll tell me herself!
At least that's how it is when facing Mu Xiaoxiao. After a barrage of tricky questions, she didn't utter a single lie. Does she have to be so honest? Ling, you're making me feel so unfulfilled!
Mu Xiaoxiao knelt down.
Although it was precisely because of the mind-reading helmet that Ling's true nature was proven, and in this respect the prop made a great contribution, Mu Xiaoxiao still felt like an idiot. She adjusted her mood with her hands and face and then took off the helmet.
"Is it over?" Bell asked.
"Ling, do you know what this helmet is for?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked wistfully.
"A lie detector?" "Mind reading."
Seeing the girl's wrong posture, Mu Xiaoxiao fell silent. She smiled and her mood improved a lot. "Don't worry, you are a girl who is true to yourself. To be honest, this is the first time I have met someone like this. Even my mind-reading helmet is useless. Amazing."
A thumbs-up is given.
"Mind reading... I really don't know where you get all these weird gadgets, Little," Ling said, not angry despite feeling her privacy had been violated. "So, can I have that thing now?"
"If I said I could only give you to you if you became my woman, would you agree?" Mu Xiaoxiao's dark pupils suddenly deepened as she asked earnestly.
"I think so," Suzumo raised a finger, her voice lowering slightly, "I...don't dislike Xiaoxiao." She then looked at the helmet in Mu Xiaoxiao's hand, "Aren't you going to verify if I'm lying?"
“No need,” Mu Xiaoxiao said without wearing a helmet, smiling as she handed over a SIM card for her friend’s communication. “This is enough.” “???”
What did he mean by that? He really gave me such an expensive card, so does he want me to be his woman or not? Why can't he be clearer?
The blue-haired girl suddenly realized that she could no longer see through Mu Xiaoxiao. In the past, she could easily see into other people's hearts, but now it didn't work on Xiaoxiao. She inexplicably felt an urge to take away his helmet and see what he was really thinking.
Ling's expression shifted, and her mood subtly changed. The girl was unaware that the moment she could no longer see through Mu Xiaoxiao was the beginning of her descent into her trap.
Chapter 289 The Imagination of the Beret
Before leaving the Otome family, Mu Xiaoxiao stayed here for a meal. He simply asked Ling to stay and eat with him as well. Upon learning that Mu Xiaoxiao was leaving, the female knight decided to go with him.
After all, Alicia's original purpose was for Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Sigh, it's a little strange that everyone's suddenly gone," Otome said quietly as she helped Mu Xiaoxiao tidy her clothes and luggage. Rinka Okino, standing to the side with her hands behind her back, teased, "Then Otome-nee, why don't you come with Xiaoxiao? Nobody's stopping you, and Mira-nee probably won't object either."
"this
Otome was somewhat tempted, but in the end she was too embarrassed to say it. Forget it, just like Xiaoxiao said, it's not like we'll be separated by the vast distance of the north and south and never see each other again. Standing at the door, she watched him get into the car, waved goodbye, and smiled, but a thought flashed through her mind.
Speaking of transfer students, why don't I transfer to a smaller school myself?
"Tsubaki, isn't this a bit too much? Why did you even drive all the way to pick me up?" Mu Xiaoxiao sat in the passenger seat, looking at her maid, Rurikawa Tsubaki, who had come to pick her up, and was slightly surprised. "By the way, when did you learn to drive?"
“I’ve been learning for a while, but I haven’t gotten the license yet,” Rurikawa Tsubaki said as she skillfully drove the car at high speed on the road, glancing back at Mu Xiaoxiao. “Master, is Miss Ling coming with us, or should we take her home?”
Anri and Rin sat in the back seat.
“Ling, what do you think?” Mu Xiaoxiao turned around. “Can I come to your place for a visit?” Ling asked.
“Okay,” Mu Xiaoxiao laughed, “It’s perfect timing to arrange the extraordinary evolution for you… Chun, I’ve sent you all the information, you’ve seen it, right? That guy named You Zhongchu, keep an eye on him, and if you have the chance… send him on his way.”
Mu Xiaoxiao's smile vanished at this point, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
“I understand,” Rurikawa Tsubaki replied, glancing at Mu Xiaoxiao’s profile. Her master was becoming more and more decisive in killing, which suited her tastes perfectly. Rurikawa Tsubaki was also the type to act decisively, especially towards those disgusting men. She only showed her gentle side in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.
When she's outside, Tsubaki Rurikawa always has a cold expression.
Rin and Anri had no objections to their discussion, especially Anri, who had been a victim herself. "Hypnotic abilities... this power is too terrifying. It's even more dangerous than a man like Boyman. It's safest to nip it in the bud."
“Yes, although the power of hypnosis is useless against us, we all have small communication cards, but it is an irresistible force for others.” Rurikawa Tsubaki gripped the steering wheel and turned it around. “At least Mira’s people can’t deal with it. Eliminating the source of danger as soon as possible is the right choice.”
Mu Xiaoxiao unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of her soda. "As for the others, I'll figure something out. You don't need to worry." "Hmm?"
Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, offered no explanation, and shut her mouth to ponder. She had a limited number of communication cards, and even though she had many now, even dozens were far from enough. It was fine for the girls around her, but she couldn't take care of all the people under Sister Mira's command.
While there are other female protagonists in the otome game, and a few tickets can be reserved, most girls are ordinary people, and Mu Xiaoxiao can't take care of them all, so other props are needed to provide support.
Upon returning to Mori Hospital, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately went to the top floor of the hospital, closed the door to her room, and checked her secret items. She had accumulated fifty lottery draws, and had only used ten of them in Kyushu last time. She still had forty draws left, enough to draw something good.
However, before that, Mu Xiaoxiao took out her own impression beret from the system's inventory.
"With my current second-stage evolved mental power, I can more easily materialize those legendary treasures or weapons and equipment," Mu Xiaoxiao said, fiddling with the beret in front of her. This secret item with the ability to materialize illusions was previously limited by her insufficient mental power, but now the limitation has been lifted.
"But those magical weapons are only for a part of the sentiment and power. After all, this is the inner world." So Mu Xiaoxiao does not plan to materialize those legendary weapons this time. He needs a more convenient tool that can be mass-produced and materialized, and can prevent those perverted scumbags from doing so.
“If there’s no template, I’ll just create one myself,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, putting her beret on her head and beginning the process of materializing her imagination. “I’ll use a badge as the design; it’ll be more eye-catching and easy to spot, and you can tell at a glance whether someone is a companion or not.”
"The appearance is slightly more refined, with the image of a Valkyrie printed on it. These are all very simple, and they consume almost no mental energy for Mu Xiaoxiao. Next is the most important part. "It's time to set up the ability... First of all, only women can use it, and it only has an effect on women."
The mental energy consumption is still not much; if it were set to be usable by both men and women, the consumption would actually be greater.
"Then there's the immunity to all abnormal statuses, hiss... this consumption," mental strength has clearly decreased, and the powerful effect will also increase the consumption, it seems that this ability is indeed very powerful, "the badges can sense each other and have communication functions, then add a teleportation skill and can automatically counterattack when in danger, and finally a power boost."
Okay, Mu Xiaoxiao got carried away and added a whole bunch of abilities to it. In the end, the spirit consumed by this badge was not much less than that of a legendary Noble Phantasm. This thing is mainly for generating a large number of enemies in a wide area, so it is impossible to materialize it in large quantities.
Mu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead.
"Forget it, let's delete all the skills that we don't need right now. We'll just keep a few essential abilities for this initial version. I can upgrade them as I get stronger. Let me see, immunity to all abnormal statuses is definitely needed, as are sensing and communication functions. Let's skip automatic counterattacks and teleportation. Finally, just add a danger prediction ability."
By keeping costs within acceptable limits, these four capabilities will protect the safety of those girls.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the exquisite badge in her hand and smiled. "It's called [Valkyrie's Badge 1.0]. It's a low-end version of the Good Friend Communication Card. Although it's not as overpowered as the Communication Card, it's enough for them."
Thinking about it, Mu Xiaoxiao put it on. "Uh, I almost forgot, I don't think I can use this..."
He went out and asked Nurse Tachibana to test the item's abilities. The results were excellent, just as expected. Although the Valkyrie's Badge's ability to grant immunity to all abnormal statuses was useless against the secret item, unlike the communication card, it was effective against any form of hypnosis or control other than the secret item, which was enough.
After all, no one else would have their own secret gadgets.
The Best Friend Communication Card is, after all, a legendary treasure, and the Impression Beret obviously cannot be created.
"Miss Tachibana, distribute these Valkyrie badges to the nurses, and send another batch to Mira. These are important talismans for you. Also, inform Mira to find an opportunity to have her people come to Morita Hospital to receive my evolution."
"Finally unable to hold back any longer, he's going to make a move on other people?"
This nurse is still as ruthless as ever; she hasn't changed at all.
Chapter 290 Yet another time-related item?
In fact, the transformation and evolution of humans by the [Evolutionary Degeneration Radiation Source] is the greatest improvement. After evolution, mental strength will be greatly enhanced, and they will have a strong resistance to hypnosis. As long as those girls evolve, they can be given the power to protect themselves.
But it's always good to be safe, after all, this isn't an ordinary world. Just to be on the safe side, Mu Xiaoxiao arranged a low-end version for those girls who didn't have a SIM card... [Valkyrie's Badge].
These props, which can be mass-produced, can be provided to any new members who join in the future.
"The arrangements here are almost complete." Mu Xiaoxiao doesn't need to worry about the rest. Whether it's Rurikawa Tsubaki, Sicheng Anri, or the people from Mori Yu Hospital, they can handle it themselves. He took a few pieces of cake and continued to lock himself in his room.
I checked the system while eating. Next up was the lottery.
It seems like I haven't encountered any new wish lists lately, which isn't a bad thing. At least it means things have been peaceful lately, without so many messy events. It seems that Sister Mira's crackdown on those scumbags has been quite effective. "I don't lack lottery coins now; I still have forty unused ones."
Today is a good opportunity to have a few small draws.
"Although I'm not currently lacking in secret gadgets, I would say I do need some truly overpowered gadgets, like the 'what if' phone booth or time machine. I hope I can get them this time."
The shop reopened after a long absence. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't do a ten-pull like before, but instead did single pulls one by one. She thought she could use the first few pulls as a buffer, but she got an unexpected item from the first gacha pull.
[Right and Wrong Selection Device]: Selection is based on correct and wrong answers, with a 100% accuracy rate.
Mu Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed at the ○ and the True/False Divination Device in front of her? This thing was practically a tool for predicting the future, and with a 100% success rate at that.
"Wait, they gave me such a big gift right at the beginning? Is it really true that you can only get the desired item by doing a single pull?"
Forcibly suppressing the urge to test the new items, Mu Xiaoxiao decided to finish the gacha pulls first and then figure it out later. With excitement, she pressed the gacha button and saw the new flashlight appear in her item inventory. Mu Xiaoxiao's face almost turned into a meme.
[Shrinking Light]: Shrinks any object, but there is a time limit.
Magnify and shrink light... Well, there's no magnifying light, only a shrinking light, and it has a time limit, not a permanent shrinking effect. Even so, Mu Xiaoxiao was pleasantly surprised, "Another amazing artifact. Although I don't know where it can be used yet, it looks like it can be used anywhere."
Overall, it's a good deal.
【Integrity Sticker】: When you stick it on your body, you will become in accordance with your true feelings and unable to say anything against your conscience.
The third item isn't as outrageous, and it's a consumable item, but isn't this supposed to be a tsundere killer? A tsundere girl sticking to it...
I reckon he'll break down to despair. Hmm, maybe I should find an opportunity to let Feng try?
Okay, she has a SIM card, so it's probably useless. New item +1, so it's not a loss anyway.
【Spy Satellite】: By launching tracking satellites, surveillance can be conducted in any area from home.
"I'm so lucky with this single draw! Every time it's a new item, and a really useful secret item at that," Mu Xiaoxiao exclaimed. "Not a single useless item. I've decided to use a single draw next time."
[Superpower Training Kit] [Reflection Cloak]
After two duplicate items appeared, Mu Xiaoxiao was not disappointed. After all, both the [Superpower Training Box] and the [Reflection Cloak] were divine artifacts. Although she had rarely used the Reflection Cloak recently, it was only because there hadn't been an enemy worthy of its appearance yet.
Mu Xiaoxiao has more trump cards up her sleeve.
[Dream Ladder] [Hard Work Sauce] [Flying Magic Carpet]
Okay, it seems that even single draws can yield useless items. This so-called "Hardship Sauce" is a bizarre sauce that makes everything you do incredibly difficult after you eat it. It's only good for tricking people.
It's more of a toy used for pranks.
The Dream Ladder is much more powerful; it allows you to enter other people's dreams. Although it's also a playful prop, it can at least come in handy sometimes. Finally, the Flying Magic Carpet, as the name suggests, is a magic carpet that can fly.
"This thing looks like Doraemon III's magic carpet? Although you can fly with a bamboo dragonfly, this tool that can carry people is still useful." Overall, the drop rate of single pulls is indeed very high, and they are all very good items.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was wondering whether she should continue to draw a few more times, the result of the tenth single draw appeared: a belt.
[Time Belt]: Time travel is possible through the device on the belt, but it should be noted that the accuracy of the time belt is less than that of the time machine, and it cannot be used to change positions.
Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned. A time belt?
He rubbed his eyes and realized he wasn't mistaken; it really was a time belt. He froze. Even though the description said the time belt was just a lower-grade alternative to a time machine, it was still a time-related item, and a secret item that could allow time travel!
Moreover, unlike the time travel caused by the communication card last time, the communication card was truly uncontrollable, relying entirely on a miracle to return to the past, and the time was very short. But the time belt is something that can truly return to the past.
"So, I can time travel right now?"
Mu Xiaoxiao pinched his cheek. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly took out the right-or-wrong divination device. It was a perfect opportunity to test it. He stared at the right-or-wrong device on the ground with a serious expression, took a deep breath, and asked, "Question: Should I use the Time Belt to travel through time and space?"
The divination device didn't respond. Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. "What does this mean? Is it because my question was too vague? That's why there's no answer?" *Ding-dong ding-dong...* The device with the number 10 popped up, flashing in mid-air. Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face with one hand. "Okay, I guessed right. So, to put it another way... this time travel will go smoothly, without any unexpected events."
Ding dong ding dong............
○ bounced up again, proving that Mu Xiaoxiao was right. Okay, then there's no problem asking this question.
"This time travel...is very important to me? Ding-dong ding-dong..."
Seeing the ○ that popped up, Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes narrowed. He realized something and tentatively asked, "Is this time travel related to Sister Mira?" *Ding-dong ding-dong*
Looking at the results given by the right-or-wrong divination device, Mu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "This really is a prophetic artifact." She felt that compared to the Time Belt, this right-or-wrong divination device was her biggest gain this time.
