Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Come to Mommy

Fang Xiaocao thought about turning around and walking away.

Whether it be Aquarius or Pisces, they were merely tools she had found. Even though they had served her, they fundamentally remained her enemies.

Moreover, both Aquarius and Pisces were ruthless fugitives, burdened with countless blood debts, hardly deserving any sympathy.

Saying they were deserving of their fates was no exaggeration.

Therefore, Fang Xiaocao was not particularly concerned with whether they lived or died.

But Yun Luoshu and Wan Xiaozhou were still inside the camp, Fang Xiaocao couldn’t leave.

She still needed Aquarius’s help for the rescue.

Fang Xiaocao gritted her teeth and decided to go help Aquarius.

She got up from the bushes and stealthily made her way towards the camp.

Along the way, Fang Xiaocao was extra cautious, fearing a sudden attack.

“Shhh shhh shhh~”

Familiar footsteps suddenly entered her ears.

Fang Xiaocao paused her step and instantly dropped down.

As her body turned, she rolled into the nearby bushes.

This footsteps sound was all too familiar to her.

They belonged to the Scar-faced Monster!

It was also one of the Scar-faced Monster’s hypnosis techniques.

Through magically appearing footsteps and a terrifying visage, it gradually wears down the mental defenses of its subjects.

People who are emotionally broken are easier to hypnotize.

This minimizes the practitioner’s burden.

Fang Xiaocao knew similar techniques as well.

For instance, her charming voice and bright eyes worked much like the Scar-faced Monster’s footsteps and face, by using her striking features in combination with her voice as a medium, they were able to shake others’ beliefs and achieve a hypnotic effect.

And what appears to be a simple operation could only be managed by a hypnotherapist.

Ordinary hypnotists, on the other hand, needed to establish a trust relationship with their subjects in advance, hint psychologically through their words and deeds, and complement it with props to achieve the same effect.

This is the difference between a master and a beginner!

“The Scar-faced Monster is nearby!”

“The Scar-faced Monster has also crept back!”

Fang Xiaocao’s heart instantly alarmed.

Lying low in the bushes, motionless, she resembled a beast preparing for a hunt, waiting for the prey to enter its attacking radius.

Fang Xiaocao was unsure if the Scar-faced Monster knew of her presence.

Fang Xiaocao felt that the Scar-faced Monster probably did know, as, after all, being a hypnotherapist, he could instantly tell if an ordinary person was under hypnosis or not.

The Scar-faced Monster was merely uncertain whether she was around the camp, which is why he had left the camp to circle around the woods before sneaking back again.

“Shhh shhh shhh~”

The footsteps grew ever closer.

Fang Xiaocao could even smell the dangerous scent emanating from the Scar-faced Monster.

“Come on, I’m not afraid of you!”

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself internally.

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

A slightly panting breath reached her ears.

Fang Xiaocao held her breath, lying tightly in the bushes, quietly waiting for the Scar-faced Monster to appear.

The Scar-faced Monster was nearby!

He might even be…

right behind Fang Xiaocao!

Fang Xiaocao focused her mind, beginning to hypnotize herself.

In her subconscious, she built up a shield.

“Bang bang!”

“Bang!”

Just then, more gunshots rang out from the direction of the camp.

Three gunshots in total!

Pisces and Aquarius fired two shots and one shot respectively!

After the gunshots, the camp fell silent again.

“Shhh shhh shhh~”

“Huff huff huff~”

Both footsteps and breathing sounds arose at the same time.

“The sounds are coming from the left!”

Fang Xiaocao instantly made a judgment.

With a glance from the corner of her eye to the left, she saw a figure sneaking towards the direction of the camp.

It was the Scar-faced Monster!

Just from the silhouette, Fang Xiaocao knew it was him!

Watching the Scar-faced Monster close at hand, Fang Xiaocao began to get nervous, her heartbeat uncontrollably quickening.

Fang Xiaocao drew her spring knife and slowly pushed out the blade.

As fellow hypnotists, the Scar-faced Monster was her formidable adversary, the priority target she chose to eliminate.

The hypnotherapist was quite a problematic existence.

Whether it was a head-on duel or a covert ambush, he was god-like.

He was practically invincible, given that…

He didn’t encounter another hypnotherapist.

“The Scar-faced Monster’s target must be Aquarius,”

she muttered silently while staring at the Scar-faced Monster’s back.

The Scar-faced Monster advanced cautiously, pausing from time to time to scout, evidently searching for potential hidden enemies.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao thought with a smile, “Search all you want; I’m right behind you.”

The nearby camp was eerily quiet, devoid of life, just like a camp of the dead.

But Fang Xiaocao knew that both Pisces and Aquarius were not dead; they were quietly waiting in the shadows, waiting for the prey to show itself.

She silently counted the gunshots—14 in total.

The lingering inaction of Pisces and Aquarius in the camp led Fang Xiaocao to speculate that between their guns, one still held a bullet.

Fang Xiaocao dared not move. She wasn’t a match for the Scar-faced Monster in close combat, especially since he was armed with a gun.

She wasn’t confident about besting the Scar-faced Monster in a hypnosis duel, either.

All she could do was watch as the Scar-faced Monster inched closer to the camp, slowly making his way toward Aquarius.

The duel between Sleep Therapists was very genteel.

Often, a face-to-face gaze was both the beginning and the end of the duel.

The scene of the duel seemed devoid of violent elements.

Yet, behind the scenes, it was perilously extraordinary. @@novelbin@@

Often, the outcome decided both victory and death.

The one who failed in the hypnosis duel…

A mental hospital was perhaps their best resting place.

Direct brain death!

Becoming a vegetable!

That was the best treatment for the losing MVP.

Fang Xiaocao was waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity for a decisive victory!

The moment the Scar-faced Monster was distracted was the best time to defeat him.

“Crack~”

A sound of a breaking branch came.

It was the Scar-faced Monster, who had accidentally stepped on it.

Joy surged in Fang Xiaocao’s heart as she instantly focused, ready to strike at any moment.

This noise was enough to alert Aquarius.

If Aquarius’s gun still had bullets,

she would shoot at the Scar-faced Monster before he found her.

The moment the Scar-faced Monster dodged the bullet would be the best time for Fang Xiaocao to act.

The next second, a gunshot rang out!

“Bang!”

Fang Xiaocao sprang from the bushes and charged at the Scar-faced Monster.

As the gunshot echoed, the Scar-faced Monster’s form faltered.

He immediately turned and lunged towards his back.

“Ugly freak, look into my eyes!”

Fang Xiaocao yelled.

The newly landed Scar-faced Monster was taken aback.

Subconsciously, he looked up at Fang Xiaocao.

Her eyes twinkled with specks of starlight.

“Baobao, do you remember me?”

Fang Xiaocao said in a gentle tone.

Each note of her words carried a magical resonance, assaulting the Scar-faced Monster’s solid mental defenses.

Upon hearing this, the Scar-faced Monster became momentarily lost.

His eyes went blank.

“Come, come to mommy,”

Fang Xiaocao said, opening her arms with a smile.

The focus that had just gathered in the Scar-faced Monster’s eyes dispersed again, and he mechanically rose, taking steps toward Fang Xiaocao.
