Swish—
In an instant, the saintess felt dizzy and disoriented.
When I came to my senses, the scene before me had changed.
It was still the main cathedral of the Vatican, but the fighting and bloodshed were gone, and everything was clean and tidy.
The others had also disappeared, which made her eyes even look a little confused.
But when she saw Xu Shi appear before her, she instantly realized what had happened.
"This is...your ability?"
Miss Saint frowned.
Xu Shi didn't answer, but subconsciously gagged.
vomit.
It has a strong aftereffect.
This was clearly a side effect of being teleported by Su Lin—he had previously talked to the real First Madam and learned that after breaking through to S-rank, she could teleport people.
She and Xu Shi were naturally on the same wavelength, so the moment they saw the Holy Maiden unleash her ultimate move, they knew what to do next.
We must use this method to bring them together one-on-one, otherwise we're all going to be doomed.
Or perhaps, the previous battles were all preparations for this moment.
Pulling someone into a one-on-one spiritual battle is not an invincible tactic; at the very least, the strength of one's mental power is a crucial factor.
To give a simple example, if Xu Shi wanted to use "Threshold Space" on Xia Ke'an, a mental powerhouse, he would most likely fail—although his mental strength is at a formidable S-level, the old lady is SS-level, and in a real contest, she would be one step ahead of him.
Unless she is willing, it may backfire, and even if it succeeds by chance, the effect will not be good.
The saintess before him was clearly no ordinary person, at least not a weakling like Dongfang Xiao. Xu Shi already had some doubts about her true strength, and after seeing her second ability of "human manipulation," he was even more certain that her mental strength was definitely not weak.
To be able to control so many people at the same time, one must be at least at the same S-level as oneself.
In the cautious Boss Xu's view, appropriate attrition was necessary—first, take down the puppet to cause a backlash against her, and then strike when she had to expend a lot of energy to activate the old pope, which would inevitably be her most vulnerable moment.
And so, the shot hit its mark.
While he could indeed carry people, Mr. Xu, experiencing teleportation for the first time, was still somewhat unaccustomed to it, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, which was a relief as he didn't actually vomit.
My dear Su Lin, did you have to endure all this when you fought? It breaks my heart. (Reading in a monotone tone)
However, he couldn't lose face, so before the Holy Maiden could react, he had already forcibly adjusted his state.
"certainly."
Xu Shi stood beneath the statue, his cold gaze tinged with a hint of mockery. "The outside environment is too chaotic; it's not a good place to talk."
"..."
Miss Saintess snorted coldly, unconvinced.
It was truly beyond her expectations—Xu Shi had been here for so long, and she naturally had as much information about him as possible, including his abilities, personality, and so on.
Otherwise, she wouldn't actually want to turn everyone into puppets, as that would be a significant burden for her.
But she knew the power of Xu Shi's "entropy of evil thoughts." If she didn't do this, he might disrupt the minds of his enemies on a large scale, just like when he first went to the royal family to show off his muscles.
Only by doing this can we prevent him from doing this.
Unfortunately, she overlooked the concept of "threshold space" and never expected that her actions would play right into Xu Shi's hands.
But there was nothing she could do about it; she had no idea Xu Shi had this trump card. Just like her "human manipulation," you can never guess what you've never seen before.
No matter how deeply the Papacy and the royal family infiltrate, her influence cannot reach Dongfang Xiao's study.
What do you want to talk about?
She gritted her teeth, her expression one of resignation to death, and said, "If it concerns 'natural justice,' I advise you to die instead..."
But before she could finish speaking, she was shocked to find that her throat felt like it was being choked, and she could no longer make a sound.
Xu Shi chuckled and said calmly, "Kneel down."
Immediately, the saintess knelt down uncontrollably.
She looked at Xu Shi in disbelief, clearly finding it hard to accept.
She used to be the one controlling others, never the one being controlled by others.
Xu Shi almost laughed. He had previously thought this guy was cunning and shrewd, but now it seemed he was just as naive as he appeared. Had he not realized his predicament after being in the one-on-one arena for so long?
Now that her spirit is severely damaged, she is as insignificant as dust here, so of course she can do whatever she wants... cough, of course she can't resist the mental pressure coming from herself.
However, to be fair, this person still has some backbone, at least better than my own "inspector" He Yuxia. Back then, the speed at which Miss He confessed was so fast that I even had the illusion that I had planted a seed in her but forgot about it.
Unfortunately, backbone is useless; what Mr. Xu is best at is breaking other people's bones.
Thanks to his previous experience training Dongfang Xiao, he is now becoming more and more proficient in playing with the "threshold space". He knows that when there is a serious imbalance in mental strength, he can force the other party to do something they are unwilling to do.
Things like spitting out truth or making some strange movements are all things he can do with a single thought.
Otherwise, why do you think the training of the little empress went so smoothly? As the saying goes, it's best if you cooperate, but if you don't, I'll help you cooperate.
"Next, I'll ask questions, and you'll answer."
He stopped worrying about how quickly he could confess; he figured he had to say it eventually anyway.
