After Buying a Cat Slave, I Become Obsessed with Eavesdropping on Her Thoughts

In a world where tomorrow's bread is never certain and demi-humans are sold like livestock, Reiner makes a daring purchase: a cat-type demi-human whose talent outshines her tragic circumstances. A...

Chapter 115 The Cunning White Fox (1/2)

"Tell me the truth, where is your sister?" Reiner crossed his legs and continued to interrogate her.

With the ability to eavesdrop on her thoughts, it's so easy to get things out of her.

As long as she was slightly induced with words, she would involuntarily make associations, and Reiner could take the opportunity to eavesdrop on the information.

Peggy shook her head, stretched out her slender fingers, and pleaded with Reiner's knees: "Master... I really don't know where she is. She is my sister. I am worried about her safety. I just want to find her faster than you."

Reiner's lips curled up slightly. "Well, I'll grant you that wish. Honestly, there aren't many places to hide around this city. You can either go to the wilderness around the city, or hide in the woods in the small village east of the city."

Peggy lowered her head, pretending to be thinking, but in fact she had already thought of a solution.

(First, pretend not to tell him, listen to his bragging for a while, pretend to believe him, and then tell him a fake place. After that, she won’t be able to find anyone, so she will probably give up.)

Reiner narrowed his eyes.

The more I use this system's ability, the more enjoyable it becomes. It's especially interesting to watch her act.

Even someone as cunning as Peggy is like a blank sheet of paper in front of Reiner.

"Master, she is my sister! You will never understand the feelings between us sisters!"

Reiner nodded and continued to coax words out of her.

After a long time, Peggy pretended to surrender and whispered, "Master, why do you have to find her?"

"Isn't that simple? I'm a member of the Demihuman Protection Association, and my whole life is dedicated to protecting demihumans!"

Peggy clasped her hands together in front of her chest and looked into Reiner's eyes with admiration: "Master...you are so great!"

(Who would believe that? You can fool others, but forget about fooling me. All that sugar-coated talk about building houses for us to live in is just a ploy to win people over. Before we demi-humans were persecuted by humans, our lives in the forest were much happier than this.)

It's not easy to impress such a smart person.

Reiner didn't have time to grumble to her, so he just grabbed her and made her behave herself.

Although it's a bit despicable, it is indeed the best way to control her at the moment.

"So you can tell me now?"

"You have to promise... that after you rescue my sister, you will treat her with respect."

"I promise!"

"Well, she's actually hiding in the small forest east of the city."

The location she mentioned was the small village where Reiner lived when he first traveled through time.

The forest next to the village not only has various monsters, but also many bandits hiding there.

Let a demihuman hide there...

Reiner didn't even need to listen to her to know she was talking nonsense.

"I see. However, I feel there should be a better hiding place. You are a smart fox, so it is impossible for you not to think of it."

"Wilderness west of the city?"

Peggy remained silent, which seemed to be exactly what she wanted.

The acting is so realistic, just like the real thing.

(I remained silent and refused to communicate. He might think he had guessed the location.)

Reiner chuckled and immediately countered the attack: "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a denial."

(This guy... is not right, but the more times like this, the more I can't reveal any flaws. As long as I don't speak, even if he guesses the location, he won't be able to confirm its authenticity, so it's useless.)

Peggy had a blank expression on her face and closed her white fox ears.

Reiner named several places he thought were suitable for hiding.

Peggy was silent at times, then nodded and released a smokescreen, making it difficult for people to distinguish the truth from the falsehood.
