Chapter 20 The First Time Hypnosis
“Very good.” After hearing Linn’s answer, Yvette nodded, “Then let’s get started.”
The elderly woman on the side The housekeeper stepped forward quickly and handed the ancient coin to her.
Weighing the coins in her hand, a glimmer of expectation flashed in Yvest's eyes.
She really wanted to see if this guy could bring her any more surprises after observing the death patterns of the prisoners.
That's right.
This coin is not an ordinary coin, but an item with extraordinary power.
[Item name: Trickery Messenger's portable coin]
[Item number: 0719]
[Serial level: 6]
[Specific origin: It was once just an ordinary copper coin. After long-term contact with a high-level transcendent who believed in "trickery", it gradually acquired some characteristics consistent with that belief, but it did not have independent consciousness. 】
[Effect introduction: It is impossible to guess the result. 】
【Containment suggestion: Just treat it as an ordinary coin and put it in your wallet. 】
Obviously, this is the reason 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 select "Heads," the coin automatically switches to the opposite side.
Vice versa.
This is also quite similar to the extraordinary people who believe in "trickery", and their unpredictability reveals a bit of mockery of the fate of others.
So no matter what, the person guessing the coin cannot win from this game.
Unfortunately, Linn knew nothing about this, because it did not appear in the original work.
However, after observing for a long time just now, he still gained something.
"Actually, most of the prisoners played this game from the perspective of gamblers." Lin En suddenly said, "If you change the angle, you will find that things are not what they thought."< br>
“According to the psychology of gamblers, once the first two people who choose heads guess wrong, then the third person will definitely put his hope in heads.”
"'It's already been tailed twice, so it's time to turn heads once, right?' This is what they are thinking."
Seeing this, Yvestle pursed her lips slightly: "So, as the ninth As a guesser, given their experience, would you choose the opposite side?”
Lin shook his head. Head: "No, I would think there is something wrong with the coin."
"From a probability perspective alone, the probability of guessing eight times in a row incorrectly is one in 256."
“At a macro level, this is an extremely small probability event and is almost impossible to happen.”
Yvette narrowed her narrow eyes: "You think I'm cheating?"
"No." Linn sighed, "As the banker, this is the power you already have. "
"Then don't talk nonsense and guess quickly."
Yvester played with the exquisitely crafted collar and seemed to be imagining how it would look on Linn's neck. .
However, Linn ignored the psychological pressure she deliberately created.
At the same time, the brain is working rapidly.
Although Ivester is a bit psychopathic, she will never let him play a game that is destined to be unwinnable.
If you think about it carefully, the prisoners who died just now all made choices, whether positive or negative, but the outcome was always the same.
So, what do these failed people have in common?
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through Lin En's mind.
Could it be said.
"Okay, don't waste any more time." Seeing his silence, Yvest could not help but frown slightly, "You have three chances."
Linn suddenly came to his senses.
Seeing Ivester urging him, he nodded: "I understand. But since it is a game, there are bets on winning or losing, so as the initiator, I think His Highness should also participate."< br>
Hearing this, the elderly housekeeper on the side suddenly opened her eyes.
When Ivester heard this, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Sure enough, he discovered some patterns.
But so what?
As the third princess of the Saint Laurent Empire, her subordinates personally extended invitations, and she had no reason to refuse.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Linn was completely relieved.
Seeing his appearance, Yvest could not help but reveal a mocking smile.
Lynn slowly raised his head.
If you want to win this game, you can't make the same mistakes as those cult members did.
What was the reason for their failure?
As the first mover, he "spoke" his guess.
Lynn once heard this sentence in his previous life: After eliminating all possibilities, no matter how absurd the remaining results are, they are facts.
So, Linn only needs to avoid these two points.
What to do is simple.
“Which side do you choose?”
Yvette urged again.
Feeling the glances from her and the housekeeper at the same time, Linn cleared his mind and tried his best not to think about any of the "positives" and "negatives".
“I chose the opposite side of His Highness.”
It actually succeeded? !
Standing outside the Augusta Manor, Lin En looked at the busy streets, and suddenly felt like he was in another world.
Until now, he still couldn't completely believe that Yvestle actually let him go after he won the bet.
Not only that, he also gave him a bag of gold coins as funds to travel to the imperial capital.
This is really
Lin looked around carefully and found that no one was following him in the dark, and he was reluctant to let go.
So he called a carriage and immediately set off towards the train station.
As for whether to return to the imperial capital or go to other countries to explore, these are not important.
Anyway, he doesn’t want to stay in this border city for a moment anymore.
Recalling the nonchalant manner in which Yvestite let him go, Linn's brain was still in a state of confusion.
But now that you have been given this opportunity, you should seize it.
Last time, I was able to find a chance to escape from the heavily guarded underground prison, so now the possibility is even greater.
"Your Highness really wants to let him go?"
Under the umbrella, the old housekeeper said softly while pouring hot tea for Yvest. 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?"
Yvesther did not answer her question, but squinted her eyes slightly, rather asked comfortably.
"Very smart."
The housekeeper named Kesha said calmly.
After all, being able to detect the effect of a trick coin in such a short period of time and find a way to counter it is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Obviously, through observing the prisoners, Linn noticed the common thread of their failures.
First, they are the first.
Second, everyone "spoke" their guesses.
And his solution is also very clever.
"I choose the opposite side to His Highness."
This answer did not reveal my guess, but also put the real choice in the hands of Yvest. Very cleverly, she became the first mover.
After all, the level of the trick coin is very low and has no living consciousness.
It couldn't understand Linn's answer at all, nor could it detect from his empty mind which side he really wanted to choose.
So in the end, Yvest took the lead.
Once she expresses her choice, the trick coin will flip to the other side under the influence of its own characteristics.
Lynn wins.
It seems simple, but in fact it is extremely difficult.
At least Kesha boasted that she couldn't do the same thing as him.
“I think His Highness should rely on hypnosis to firmly control him.” At this moment, Kesha, who was usually taciturn, rarely said a few more words, “If he really returned to the imperial capital and was controlled by several other princes Holding it in your hand is a very troublesome thing for His Highness.”
“Don’t worry, even a puppy at home will bark a few times if the tie is too tight, let alone a human. What? "
Ivester said calmly. .
At this moment, the melodious sound of bells came from the distance.
Upon seeing this, Yvest put down her tea cup, lifted up her skirt and stood up in a very ladylike manner, and put the black mask on her side back on her face.
“Calculate the time, it should be almost the same.”
“I’m going out for a while, I may come back very late, remember to prepare dessert, double portion.”
< br>"Yes, Your Highness."
Late in the night, as the carriage slowly stopped, Linn, wearing a thick scarf, stepped out of the carriage.
Looking at the extremely unfamiliar town in front of me, my previously worried heart relaxed slightly.
It seems that Yvest and the others have kept their promise.
Or maybe my old puzzle has worked.
Not long ago, Linn pretended to go to the train station and bought a ticket with many witnesses. During the period, he also deliberately caused trouble and had a quarrel with others, just to leave a deep impression on others. Personnel who may come to investigate afterward may leave incorrect information.
Actually, he was not going to the imperial capital.
After all, the journey by train takes about six or seven days, which is too long and prone to accidents.
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, Linn called a carriage and took advantage of the sunset to rush to the small town of Remy, which is closest to Orne City.
It is rich in apples and famous for its various wines brewed from the fruits.
Of course, in addition to this, this is also the closest pass to the Saint Laurent Empire.
If you want to run away, run completely!
As long as we are still within the Saint Laurent Empire, Ivester’s claws will reach out one day.
When thinking of that beautiful but terrifying woman, Linn couldn't help but shake her head.
He came to the brightly lit Adventurer Tavern by the roadside, opened a room at the front desk, and then walked straight upstairs.
During this process, he was still thinking about Yvette.
If you think about it, she didn't actually cause him any real harm.
Even after knowing that Rhine had lynched him, he acquiesced in his revenge.
To be honest, if Yvesther was not the villain princess in the original work, Linn might really choose to stay and try to assist her.
Although she can be easily intimidated, she seems to treat her subordinates very well.
What's more, when he was in the underground laboratory, Yvestite kept her promise and saved him.
So in the final analysis, Linn's impression of her was not bad.
When he was reading novels in his previous life, he was very impressed by this character.
“She is such a woman that makes people both love and hate her.”
Lin opened the door to the guest room and sighed.
"Then, do you love or hate it?"
The sudden familiar voice made Linn freeze on the ground as if he was petrified.
In the room, a masked woman wearing a dark fringed dress sat beside the bed, squinting at him, a delicate necklace gently swirling on the tip of her index finger.
Damn it, I knew Linn would turn around and run away.
While running, he yelled: "Fuck a strong girl!!! Someone wants a strong girl to fuck!!!"
Lynn tried to attract the entire pub.
But as soon as he blurted out these words, he felt a majestic attraction coming from behind.
His whole body seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.
“Bang!”
The moment he flew into the room, the door slammed shut.
Lin grinned and raised his head, looking at Ivester who looked leisurely.
"You don't keep your word."
Hearing this, Ivester wrote lightly: "I only said that I would allow you to leave the Augusta Manor, but I did not agree to let you leave the Saint Laurent Empire."
Word play?
Lynn sighed.
He wanted to say something more, but found that the cold and charming 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 activated the hypnotic effect on Linn.
Today I finally adjusted back the time difference. From now on, I will update at around 11pm. I will update twice a day before it goes on sale, and I will update it immediately after it goes on sale.
