Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yang intercepted the doll that Tally Katie had hurled across the room.
Upon entering the private chamber, Tally Katie had already noticed the eerie sack brimming with humanoid figures.
Initially, the dolls appeared as intricate and captivating creations. Yet, with further scrutiny, an unsettling aura emanated from them.
Presently, her attention fixated involuntarily on one particular doll. Its ruby-encrusted eyes seemed to draw her in.
As she observed, the doll’s lips curved into a slow grin. The rubies transformed into crimson streams trickling from its hollow sockets, fixating on her.
The spectacle was unsettling and surreal. An ordinary individual would have likely recoiled in horror.
Gu Yang’s brow furrowed imperceptibly as she calmly reached to close the doll’s eyes.
No explanation was offered for her action; she simply found the gaze discomforting.
The doll: …
With a swift motion, she plucked a ruby from her eye socket, and the doll, previously adorned with a twisted smile and tears, reverted to its normal state.
Gu Yang blinked in realization.
It was all an illusion.
A hypnotic trick?
“Gu Yang! Gu Yang! Snap out of it! It’s all an illusion!” Ruan Meng’s voice grew increasingly frantic as she gripped Gu Yang’s wrist firmly and tugged at the doll with her other hand.
Observing Ruan Meng’s distressed countenance, Tally Katie chuckled gleefully.
While Gu Yang’s composed reaction lacked the screams typical of previous victims, Tally Katie couldn’t derive any satisfaction from it.
Nevertheless, witnessing Ruan Meng’s terrified reaction still brought her a sense of amusement.
Ruan Meng admonished angrily, “Tally! Remove your otherworldly contraption! Using hypnosis to harm innocent people goes against the principles of the Mutant Warrior Convention!
“And this is China, not your Katie family’s domain. Aren’t you concerned that China’s authorities will apprehend you?”
However, Tally responded to Ruan Meng’s threat with a derisive sneer. “This serves as her punishment for humiliating me.”
Incensed, Ruan Meng was on the brink of releasing Gu Yang and confronting Tally when she realized that the doll tightly clutched by Gu Yang had actually been wrested from her own grasp.
Stunned, Ruan Meng held the doll, pivoting in surprise to find Gu Yang smiling at her. “You want the doll? It’s yours.”
Momentarily taken aback, Ruan Meng was rendered speechless by Gu Yang’s gesture. “Gu Yang, you…”
“How is this possible!”
Tally’s smug grin faltered instantaneously, replaced by shock as she gazed at Gu Yang.
Her hypnotic prowess had never failed before. How could someone snap out of it so swiftly?!
The bystander observing from the doorway was also taken aback, his intrigue evident in his eyes.
Tally reached out and seized the doll from Ruan Meng’s hand, her expression turning cold as she glared at Gu Yang. “You’ve destroyed my doll!”
“Return my ruby to me!” Tally demanded.
Standing protectively in front of Gu Yang, Ruan Meng braced herself as Tally approached, her fists clenched as she aimed a punch at Tally’s eye.
With a yelp, Tally shielded her eyes, shooting Ruan Meng a furious glare. “Are you trying to get yourself killed?”
Gu Yang intervened, gently pulling Ruan Meng away. “Cousin, it’s important to foster friendships with visitors. Our nation values hospitality and kindness. Let’s not resort to violence.”
Ruan Meng’s expression twisted with disappointment at Gu Yang’s response. “Gu Yang, are you naive? She’s trying to harm you, don’t you realize?”
“She just wants her possession back. Let’s return it to her.”
Gu Yang reached out to tousle Ruan Meng’s hair affectionately before handing the ruby back to Tally. “Here you go. It’s a bit warm.”
“At least you know your place!” Tally retorted, snatching the ruby. But her expression quickly shifted from anger to agony as she let out a piercing scream. “Ah!!!”
