“I want to ask you something first. There are many reasons for selective amnesia. In addition to the one you mentioned, the brain will also discard memories that are too horrific in order to protect the personality…Please tell me it is the latter!”
Looking at the smile on the face of the girl with long black hair in front of him, Yu Chengxuan always felt his scalp tingling and couldn’t help but speak.
However, in response to this “wish”, Luo Shiyin just wore an intriguing smile and decisively chose to ignore it: “Actually, it’s okay for boys to like wearing short skirts. You don’t have to be so shy that you lose your memory just because a group of men mistook you for a girl and took you into an alley.”
“I–” His breathing suddenly stagnated and Chengxuan almost passed out.
He raised his hand to press his throbbing temple, his tone full of helplessness: “I was wearing this outfit when I woke up in the alley. Even if you want to make something up, at least make one that fits, right?”
“Hmm? How about changing it to a script where you awaken the female in your heart and don’t want to be a man anymore? If you’re not satisfied, I can write a few more~” Looking at the depressed look on the big boy’s face, Luo Shiyin’s tone became more cheerful.
Hearing this, the corners of Chengxuan’s mouth twitched: “Can’t you just tell me the truth?”
“Then…you used what you thought was superb tracking skills to follow the developer and try to find out what was going on, but you didn’t know that he had already discovered you. After he took you to a deserted beach where no one would notice you even if you shouted at the top of your lungs, the developer gave an order and had six muscular men surround you, intending to discuss some philosophical issues in depth.”
“Just at this moment, a terrible sea monster jumped out of the sea. Just when you thought you were going to discuss philosophy and be played with by its tentacles, a few beautiful girls suddenly flew out and solved all the problems. They also erased your memory. How do you feel about this version?”
With one hand on her chin, Luo Shiyin told the story half-truthfully.
As for Yu Chengxuan…looking at his expression as if he was really tied up by the tentacle monster and mistakenly regarded as a man’s girl, you can tell that guy didn’t believe it.
“Look, you don’t believe me when I tell the truth, and you get upset when I tell lies. Kids nowadays are really hard to please~” With a “distressed” look on her face, Luo Shiyin stretched out a finger, shaking it while speaking with emotion.
After pressing his temples hard, Yu Chengxuan took several deep breaths before he calmed himself down.
However, his first words made Luo Shiyin look surprised: “You used chemicals in this room?”
“Hmm? Why do you think so?”
“I’m not in the right mood right now. Although your bad personality is irritating, this is not the first time we’ve met. I should be used to the way you talk.”
“But now, not only am I unable to think calmly, but I am even more easily influenced by your words…Is it a nerve-stimulating chemical gas? Did you spread the rumor that this place is haunted?”
Rather than an explanation, these words sounded more like what Chengxuan said to himself, hoping to calm his emotions and reorganize his thoughts.
Looking at the big boy who was able to maintain a basically calm mind despite being constantly affected by negative energy, Luo Shiyin couldn’t help but have a little appreciation in her eyes: “You were able to remain calm and guess these things in this situation. I really underestimated you before.”
“So, you admit that the rumor about the haunted property of the development company was yours? Why did you do that?”
Almost subconsciously, Yu Chengxuan asked this question.
But after he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful – he shouldn’t have asked so directly so soon.
But Luo Shiyin was not too surprised by this.
After all, no matter how excellent the other party is, as long as he has not signed any contract with the strange rabbit-like creature, he is still an ordinary person.
And negative energy is not something that can be overcome by holding your breath for a while.
“Don’t be so quick to judge. There’s nothing in this company that’s worth my attack. Those things that can affect people’s emotions were put there by the boss here. Do you remember what the bartender said when we were at the bar before?”
Returning to the posture of supporting her chin with one hand, Luo Shiyin revealed a clue.
With Ji Chengxuan’s intelligence, he naturally reacted immediately: “You mean, the reason why people here are emotionally unstable is the same as the reason why the Sheriff’s Bureau was there? The black substance?”
“Correct. If the boss here was as smart as you, he might not be dead.”
With a snap of his fingers, Luo Shiyin smiled and dropped a bombshell piece of news, officially starting his own test.
The reason why she chose to meet at the development company and kept teasing the boy after the meeting was, in addition to the 95% secondary reason that it was fun, the other 5% important reason was to test the degree to which the other party was affected by negative energy.
Otherwise, with the other party’s sensitivity, it would be easy for them to detect his true purpose and give a series of misleading information, which might even turn the girl into his informant.
Facts have proved that Luo Shiyin’s choice was very correct.
After hearing her words, Ji Chengxuan showed an unbelievable look in his eyes, and even subconsciously took half a step forward: “Hu Pengge died? When did it happen?”
“What happened during your amnesia.”
She still had a smile on her face, but Luo Shiyin felt a little surprised – that girl didn’t seem to betray her?
Then what did she want to do by contacting the security guard?
Without further questioning, Luo Shiyin gave the other party half a minute to digest the news before she raised the leather-covered notebook and shook it gently: “How about we make a little deal?”
“What deal?”
Before he could react to the news of the developer’s death, he suddenly heard these words and asked subconsciously.
In response, Luo Shiyin continued with a smile: “This book in my hand contains evidence of crimes committed by most of the company’s top executives, and even some evidence of other gray-to-white companies. If you get it, it should be of great use, right?”
“…What do you want?”
His eyes immediately became serious, but Yu Chengxuan did not rush to agree.
Instead, he asked in a deep voice.
Seeing this, Luo Shiyin tapped her chin with a finger: “Let me think about it. How about…you let your junior high school girl go out with me for a whole day tomorrow, and I’ll give you this thing?”
“Have you been obsessed with any Minotaur-themed novels lately?”
Veins popped out of his head.
Although Chengxuan knew that the other party just wanted to see him angry, he couldn’t help but get emotional: “Please, can you please say something serious?”
“Okay, then you beg me first~” “I–” The second degree of integrity, this reserve security guard who could be called a genius, nearly died from the double stimulation of negative energy and a certain black loli with long straight hair.
