Chapter 20 First Hypnosis

"Very good." Hearing Lin's answer, Ivis nodded, "Then let's get started."

The elderly housekeeper beside her quickly stepped forward and handed her the quaint coin.

Weighing the coin in her hand, a hint of anticipation flashed in Yvesette's eyes.

She really wanted to see whether this guy could give her some more surprises after observing the death patterns of those prisoners.

That's right.

This coin is no ordinary coin, but an object with extraordinary power.

[Item Name: Trickery Messenger's Portable Coin]

【Project No.: 0719】

[Sequence Level: 6]

[Origin: It was once just an ordinary copper coin. After long-term contact with a high-level extraordinary person who believed in "trickery", it gradually acquired some characteristics that matched that belief, but it does not have independent consciousness.]

[Effect introduction: It is impossible to guess the result. ]

[Containment advice: Just put it in your wallet as an ordinary coin. ]

Obviously, this is why all the cult members failed.

This coin will change the result at any time based on people's guesses.

Although it does not have self-awareness and its sequence level is only level 6, which is a safe and harmless level, it can still understand and read human thoughts to a certain extent.

For example, those cult members.

When they choose "heads," the coin automatically switches to the opposite side.

vice versa.

This is also quite similar to the extraordinary people who believe in "tricks", revealing a bit of mockery of the fate of others in their weirdness and mystery.

So no matter what, the person who flips the coin has no chance of winning the game.

It’s a pity that Lin En knew nothing about this because this thing did not appear in the original book.

However, after observing for a long time, he still gained something.

"In fact, most of the prisoners are playing this game from the perspective of gamblers." Lin En suddenly said, "If you change your perspective, you will find that things are not what they think."

"According to the psychology of gamblers, once the first two people who chose the front side guessed wrong, the third person would definitely put their hopes on the front side."

“‘It’s already been tails twice, so it should be heads once, right?’ That’s what they think.”

Seeing this, Yvesette pursed her lips slightly: "So, as the ninth guesser, with their previous experience as a lesson, will you choose the opposite?"

Lynn shook her head: “No, I would think there is something wrong with the coin.”

"From a probability perspective, the chance of guessing wrong eight times in a row is one in two hundred and fifty-six."

"From a macro perspective, this is an extremely low probability event and is almost impossible to happen."

Yvesette narrowed her eyes and said, "Do you think I'm cheating?"

“Not really.” Lin En sighed, “As the dealer, this is the power you already have.”

"Then stop talking nonsense and guess quickly."

Yvesette played with the exquisitely crafted collar, as if imagining what it would look like around Lynn's neck.

However, Lynn ignored the psychological pressure she deliberately created.

Meanwhile, the brain is racing.

Although Ivester is a bit of a psychopath, she will never let him play a game that he is doomed to lose.

If you think about it carefully, those prisoners who died just now all made choices, both positive and negative, but the endings were the same.

So, what do these unsuccessful people have in common?

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Lynn's mind.

Could it be... "Okay, don't waste any more time." Seeing him remain silent, Ivisette couldn't help but frown slightly, "You have three chances."

Lynn suddenly came back to her senses.

Seeing Yvesette urging him, he nodded: "I understand. But since it is a game, there are also bets on winning and losing, so as the initiator, I think Your Highness should also participate."

Hearing this, the elderly housekeeper beside her suddenly opened her eyes.

When Ivester heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Sure enough, he discovered some patterns.

But so what? As the third princess of the Saint Laurent Empire, she had no reason to refuse the invitation personally sent by her subordinates.

"Can."

Hearing this, Lynn was completely relieved.

Seeing him like this, Yvesette couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.

Lynn slowly raised her head.

If you want to win this game, you must not repeat the mistakes of those cult members.

What was the reason for their failure? As the first mover, he "spoke" his guess.

Lin En had heard this sentence in his previous life: After eliminating all possibilities, no matter how absurd the remaining result is, it is the fact.

So, Lynn only needs to avoid these two points.

What needs to be done is simple.

"Which side do you choose?"

Yvesette urged again.

Feeling the gazes of her and the housekeeper at the same time, Lin En emptied his mind and tried his best not to think about either the "positive" or the "negative" side.

"I choose the opposite side of your highness."

It actually succeeded?!

Standing outside Augusta Manor, Lynn looked at the busy streets and suddenly felt as if he was in another world.

Until now he couldn't fully believe that after he won the bet, Yvesette actually let him go.

Not only that, he was also given a bag of gold coins as funds for his trip to the imperial capital.

Lin En looked around carefully and found that no one was following him in the dark, and he finally let go of his worry.

So he called a carriage and set off immediately towards the train station.

As for whether to return to the imperial capital or go to another country to make a living, it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, he didn't want to stay in this border city for a moment.

Thinking back to how nonchalantly Yvesette had let him go, Lynn's mind was still a mess.

But now that we have been given this opportunity, we should seize it well.

Last time, I was able to find a chance to escape from the heavily guarded underground prison, so the possibility is even greater now.

"Your Highness really wants to let him go?"

Under the parasol, the elderly housekeeper poured hot tea for Yvesette and spoke softly.

As the maid who grew up with her, the relationship between the two is extraordinary and their trust in each other is beyond common sense.

"Aunt Keisha, what do you think of him?"

Yvesette did not answer her question, but narrowed her eyes slightly and asked quite comfortably.

"Very clever."

The housekeeper named Keisha said calmly.

After all, being able to detect the effect of the trick coin in such a short time and find a way to counter it is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Apparently, through observing those prisoners, Lynn had discovered the common points of their failure.

First, they took the initiative.

Second, everyone "spoke" out their guesses.

And his solution was ingenious.

"I choose the opposite side of your highness."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This answer neither stated his own guess, but also put the real right of choice in Yvesette's hands, cleverly allowing her to take the initiative.

After all, the level of the trick coin is very low and it has no living consciousness.

It couldn't understand Lynn's answer at all, nor could it detect from his empty mind which side he really wanted to choose.

So in the end, Yvesette took the initiative.

Once she makes her choice, the trick coin will flip to the other side due to its own characteristics.

Lynn wins.

It seems simple, but it is actually extremely difficult.

At least Kesha claimed that she couldn't do the same thing as him.

"I think that Your Highness should rely on hypnosis to keep him firmly under control." At this moment, the usually taciturn Kesha said a few more words, which was extremely rare. "If he really returns to the imperial capital and is controlled by the other princes, it will be very troublesome for Your Highness."

"Don't worry. Even a puppy at home will bark if it's tied too tightly, let alone a human."

Yvesette said calmly.

Just then, a melodious bell sounded from afar.

Seeing this, Yvesette put down her teacup, lifted her skirt like a lady, stood up, and put the black mask on her face again.

"Calculating the time, it should be about time."

"I'm going to be out for a while. It might be very late when I come back. Remember to prepare dessert. Ask for double servings."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Late at night, as the carriage slowly stopped, Lin En, wearing a thick scarf, walked out of the carriage.

Looking at the extremely unfamiliar town in front of me, my previously tense heart relaxed a little.

It seems that Yvesette and her gang are still keeping their promises.

Or maybe his deliberate confusion had worked.

Not long ago, Lynn pretended to go to the train station and bought a ticket in the presence of many witnesses. During the trip, he deliberately caused trouble and had a quarrel with someone in order to leave a deep impression on people and leave wrong information to those who might come to investigate later.

In fact, he was not going to the imperial capital.

After all, a journey by train takes about six or seven days, which is too long and too easy for accidents to happen.

So after that, he found a passerby, spent some money to buy his clothes, exchanged clothes with him in an alley, and disguised himself from head to toe as another person.

After doing all this, Lynn called a carriage and rushed to the town of Remi, the closest to the city of Orne, as the sun set.

Apples are grown in abundance here, and the area is famous for the various types of wine made from the fruit.

Of course, in addition to this, this is also the closest checkpoint to leaving the Saint Laurent Empire.

If you want to run away, run away completely!

As long as we are within the Saint Laurent Empire, Iveste's evil claws will reach us at any time.

Lynn couldn't help but shake her head when she thought of that beautiful yet terrifying woman.

He came to the brightly lit adventurer's tavern on the side of the road, booked a room at the front desk, and then went straight upstairs.

During this process, he was still thinking about Yvesette.

Come to think of it, she hadn't actually caused him any real harm.

Even after knowing that Rhine had lynched him, he still condoned his revenge.

To be honest, if Yvesette was not the villain princess in the original novel, Lin En might really choose to stay and try to assist her.

Although she can be intimidating, she seems to treat her subordinates very well.

What's more, when they were in the underground laboratory, Yvesette had kept her promise and saved him.

So in the final analysis, Lynn didn't have a bad impression of her.

When he was reading the novel in his previous life, he was deeply impressed by this character.

"What a woman that makes one love and hate her."

Lynn pushed open the door to the guest room and sighed.

"So, do you love or hate it?"

The sudden familiar voice made Lin En stand still on the ground as if petrified.

In the room, a masked woman in a black tasseled dress sat on the bed, squinting at him, an exquisite necklace twirling gently on the tip of her index finger.

Damn it, I knew Lin En would turn around and run.

As he ran, he shouted: "Rape a woman!!! Someone wants to rape a woman!!!"

Lynn tried to attract everyone in the pub.

But as soon as these words came out of his mouth, he felt a powerful attraction coming from behind.

He seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.

"Bang!"

The moment I flew into the room, the door slammed shut.

Lynn raised his head with a grin and looked at Yvesette who looked relaxed.

"You don't keep your word."

Hearing this, Yvesette said lightly: "I only said that you are allowed to leave Augusta Manor, but I did not agree to let you leave the Saint Laurent Empire."

A play on words? Lynn sighed.

He wanted to say something else, but found that the cold and beautiful woman in front of him suddenly raised her hand and pointed her palm at his forehead.

An emerald green mark of the mind's eye slowly appeared on her white and delicate palm.

She exerted a hypnotic effect on Lynn.

I finally adjusted the time difference today. From now on, I will update at around 11pm. I will update twice a day before the game is put on the shelves, and update more frequently after the game is put on the shelves.
