Chapter 16: Yvesette's Belated Arrival
Pressed the wrong button?!
As the chair fell, Lynn felt unwell.
Fortunately, the height here does not seem to be as high as imagined, probably only about three or four floors, and there are seats underneath to serve as a cushion.
Not only that, after falling to the bottom floor, he also found a layer of water underneath.
In short, there was no life-threatening situation.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he repeated the second lie in his mind, using the power of the Liar Swallower to reinforce this psychological suggestion.
The feeling of falling just now almost brought him out of this state.
After finally recovering from his initial dazed state, Lin En turned his attention back to the present.
Different from the laboratory that was as bright as day just now.
The scene before him was pitch black, with only two golden lanterns hanging from the highest point.
I just don’t know why, although the lantern looks very bright, it doesn’t illuminate the surrounding environment.
Fortunately, there was some faint light coming from above, so Lin En didn't have to stay here like a blind man.
This is totally an unprovoked disaster.
I had clearly passed the assessment, but I accidentally ended up in a place like this.
Sure enough, Yvessite's men were a group of guys who were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
There were countless opportunities in the early and middle stages to kill all the protagonists in the original work, but they were let go due to various circumstances.
As a result, by the end of the film, most of the main characters had become gods, and that group of idiots became panic-stricken, knowing that disaster was imminent and they were brutally punished.
Lin En complained in his heart and waited quietly for them to find someone to rescue him.
But after waiting for several minutes, nothing happened.
Not only that, Lin En also vaguely felt a fishy smell and a faint hot wind.
Remaining in a state of slow reaction, he moved his eyes slightly and looked upwards.
The two golden lanterns flickered.
Sometimes it lights up, sometimes it goes out.
Not only that, it seemed to be moving towards him, and the distance between them was gradually shortening.
Wait, wait a minute! Lin En seemed to finally realize something.
At this moment, looking at the two huge "lanterns" above his head, Lin En broke out in a cold sweat on his back and was almost about to break out of the pseudo-hypnotic state created by the Liar.
That wasn't some bullshit lantern, but the pupil of some giant creature! It had been looking at him since the moment he fell! In an instant, the giant creature in front of Lin En moved.
With a low roar like thunder, the giant creature slowly lowered its head and approached Lin En.
With the light from the cave above, Lin En finally saw the true appearance of this giant creature.
It has a neck like a giant snake, a mouth full of fangs, giant wings that block out the sun, a long tail dragging an iron chain, and thick scales covering its entire body.
This is clearly a juvenile black dragon that is more than ten meters tall! ! ! "Your Highness, you are here?"
Looking at the tall figure that appeared in the laboratory, Melanie moved closer and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Yviste, who was wearing a dashing military uniform just now, now changed into a black tasseled long skirt. As for her long black hair that was originally draped behind her, it was tied into a simple and capable high ponytail, hanging down to her waist.
She looked like a cold goddess dressed up to attend a banquet, making people afraid to approach her.
"How is he?"
When facing Melanie, Yvesette seemed to relax a lot.
She trusted this subordinate who had been following her for seven or eight years and treated her like a younger sister when they interacted with each other on a daily basis.
Although Melanie looks very young, she is actually an adult.
It's just that for some reason, the body just hasn't been able to grow properly.
Yvesette touched her head and straightened her messy brown hair.
Melanie did not resist. She placed a tool carved from magic stone in front of Yvessite and injected some extraordinary power into it.
After a moment, a projection appeared in front of the two.
The picture showed Lin En trapped in the space below, sitting on a chair looking a little stupid, not moving at all.
"This is the last test. Most of the 125 test subjects died in this test."
"If he really passes this level, then he will be completely controlled by Your Highness. He will be unaware of it on weekdays, but as soon as he sees the curse mark of the Mind's Eye, he will instantly switch to a hypnotic state."
Melanie's eyes were very calm at this moment, and she no longer looked like she was laughing and joking with Lin En just now.
Ivis nodded.
If Lynn was really faking hypnosis, she would still rescue him.
It's just a little disappointing.
At this moment, the black dragon's pair of wheel-sized golden eyes were approaching him, and hot and smelly breath came out of its nostrils, as if examining today's food.
Feeling the breath coming towards him, Lin En felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
This physiological reaction was unavoidable because he was facing a giant dragon.
Since it is a giant dragon with such powerful, ancient and noble bloodline, it naturally has extremely powerful dragon power.
Even though this black dragon is only a larva, it is stronger than the fourth-level strongmen among humans.
Therefore, under the influence of Longwei, any disguise will be self-defeating.
Feeling the Liar Eater's shaky state, Lynn felt that he might not be able to hold on for the next second, so he gasped for breath and ran away.
Because he is now just an ordinary person without the divine gene, and the distance between the man and the dragon is less than one meter.
The sharp teeth in the black dragon's mouth flashed with cold light, and there were even some traces of blood.
It seemed very hungry.
Lynn wanted to take a deep breath and calm herself down.
But logically speaking, one shouldn't behave abnormally like this when being hypnotized.
Damn it, Melanie, why hasn't anyone come yet? Doesn't she know what a terrifying creature there is down there? No!
Thinking of this, Lin En seemed to suddenly realize something.
Did she really press the wrong button by accident? Or was this just another test from the beginning?
Looking at the gradually opening mouth of the black dragon in front of him and the saliva dripping from its mouth, he fell silent.
There are only two paths before Lynn.
The first way is to release the status and shout for help.
Maybe someone will come to rescue him, but the probability is not high.
After all, calling for help would only expose one's disguise and would not provide a speed-up buff to Melanie and the guards.
The second way is to maintain this state and hold on to the end.

There is no benefit, just a gamble that this is another assessment.
The stakes are your own life.
Both paths are full of dangers, and the probability of death is very high if you choose either one.
But for Lin En, it seems that there is never any need to hesitate when making a choice.
If you choose the first path, besides showing an ugly appearance of trying to survive, there is a high probability that you will still die.
So, he chose two.
The reason is simple.
At such a critical and tense moment, Lynn remembered Melanie's previous words.
Yvesette said she wanted to spare his life.
Although I don't know what kind of mental journey she went through, she said with her own mouth that she would not let him die.
For whatever reason, Lynn chose to believe her.
Believe that she can fulfill her promise.
So at this moment, Lin En tried his best to activate the ability of the Liar Eater, lying to himself and maintaining the stupid and dull hypnotic state.
Even so, under the oppression of Long Wei, his mental will became shaky.
"roar--!!!"
As if feeling that the food this time was lacking in flavor, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the black dragon's eyes, and then he raised his head and roared.
Feeling the tremor coming from his soul and the gradual dizziness, Lin En wanted to complain.
In just one night, he fainted three times.
Looking at the bloody mouth getting closer and closer, Lynn's heart almost jumped into his throat.
The stench from the dragon's mouth almost made him faint.
Bush, Gomen! At the critical moment, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, a dazzling red light suddenly flashed! "Bang!!!"
As the air waves rushed in all directions, the black dragon let out a painful howl, and its huge body fell backwards with extremely powerful inertia!
The next second, the familiar rose scent lingered around Lynn's nose again.
A familiar, beautiful figure was suspended in the air, her jet-black dress fluttering gently like a flag.
I knew it!
Seeing that figure, Lin En's body almost collapsed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman who had almost killed him just now actually looked so pleasing to the eye.
At the same time, he was extremely glad that he did not choose the first path.
Under his obscure gaze, Ivester raised her right hand with five fingers spread out, as if giving orders to the black dragon in front of her.
“Back off!”
The sound spread out along with invisible ripples and traveled along the black dragon's thick scales into its mind.
The black dragon that was so arrogant just now now looked obedient, with a hint of fear flashing in its golden pupils.
Then, he actually did as she said, crawling back into the darkness.
Even a giant dragon would have to bow humbly in front of the villain princess.
Just like an obedient puppy.
After doing all this, Yvesette gently put down her right hand and turned to look at Lin En sitting in the chair.
A complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
"Find him a room in the manor, let him have a good sleep, and bring him to see me when he wakes up."
After leaving these words, Ivisette disappeared abruptly.
Ten seconds later, the guards finally arrived.
Seeing this, Lynn's consciousness completely relaxed.
He knew that he had temporarily survived this brink of hell and could finally get some good sleep.
As I thought about this, a surge of sleepiness came over me like a tide.
He hadn't slept well for half a month, and after tossing and turning for so long tonight, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
Of course, in the last second before he fell asleep, a different scene emerged in his mind.
When Yvesette arrived just now, due to the angle, he seemed to see something he shouldn't have seen.
Purple? That's really cool.
With this thought in mind, Lin En fell into a deep sleep.
