00170 #7 – Admit me, evil spirit
#7 – Admit me to evil spirits (20)
I did my best to sell the drug.
“Hey dysentery is stupid and needs my education. Dumb people without talent won’t understand unless they teach them directly. But you are my favorite subordinate and a genius at the same time.”
“Lina didn’t realize the wide range. So the boss usually thought Lina was stupid and stupid?”
“different. Rather, he was looking at it with anticipation. I am sure that the longer it takes, the more powerful the AoE that you will awaken.”
Lina’s eyes turned creepy.
[Lina tries to penetrate your heart with ＜Mind Eye: Assassin＞.]
[Synchronization rate 1% privilege activated]
[Lina did not detect any feelings or thoughts in you. You maintain a state of complete thoughtlessness.]
Fortunately, no lies were found.
Of course, that didn’t guarantee my safety.
“The boss always does. I don’t know what you’re thinking. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Reena?”
“Does the boss really like Lina? I want to believe, I want to believe… Now I need proof!”
“What?”
“Show me the evidence that the boss loves Lina!”
this! The 3rd favorability lock was also unlocked, so I believed that this event could never be triggered due to the high favorability.
The [Proof of Trust] event was triggered.
When dissatisfaction with the boss grows, it is an event in which the minions are asked to pledge a large amount of favorability or loyalty according to the size of the dissatisfaction and show evidence of trust.
If achieved, the subordinate will remain loyal with peace of mind. With insufficient evidence, the suspicion is maintained and negative emotions remain. What if I can’t present evidence or get denied at all?
Relationships break down and, in the worst case, subordinates deviate or even turn into enemies.
What if we lose the only subordinate to fill Caesar’s vacancy?
I can’t trust anyone now.
I only have Lina.
Lina should also realize that fact.
[Sudden event ‘Proof of Trust’ activated!]
[The evil god of the apocalypse planted a great seed of distrust in Lina’s heart. Seeds are just germinating. Hold Lina in your arms before she fully grows up.]
[When the event is successful, Lina’s doubts are removed. With partial success, doubts and negative emotions are maintained. In case of failure, Lina’s relationship changes to an uncontrollable neutral or hostile NPC.]
I said it to be as kind as possible.
“Reena. I have been with you the longest after Caesar. Do you remember what I said one day two years ago? You are my second most precious subordinate after Caesar.”
“that…”
“I remember too. Those words were never nonsense. I never lie to my subordinates. There are no lies in my dictionary. I don’t think you’re going to say that you don’t trust me.”
Lina bit her lip.
“Trust the boss at that time. But I can’t trust the current boss.”
“!”
“I don’t know if my past favourites were true. But now it’s different. There are significant changes that are not there then and are now!”
Lina poked and shouted.
“dysentery! The boss has changed since that bitch showed up!”
“I? different?”
“When there is dysentery, the boss always stares at him. I used to look at Lina like that before!”
That’s because she’s cute.
On the other hand, your cute taste is slowly disappearing.
No, this is such a garbage idea.
“It’s because he’s a guy with a lack of dysentery. It’s only natural to watch the guy who lacks enough because he’s anxious.”
“Are you saying that Lina has grown so much that she doesn’t even need to watch?”
“Yes.”
I was sure
If you turn it around this much and praise it, it is a woman’s heart to melt away.
“Lina doesn’t grow taller or breast anymore, and she doesn’t have the taste to grow, so you’re going to sell your eyes to Jill!”
Then I realized
Psycho’s thinking circuit is different from that of ordinary women.
It was a mistake to treat Rina based on the thoughts of ordinary women.
How should I deal with Psycho’s thought circuit?
I remembered the way I usually treat Caesar and Lina.
“Shut up. Just do my orders.”
“!!”
“You are my favorite subordinate. Believe it and follow it silently.”
Lina shook her body.
It was as if he had been electrocuted.
“Did the boss just think of Lina as a tool?”
no shit.
Why are you suddenly following the thought circuit of a normal woman there?
Until recently, it was a psycho circuit.
“different! Eight, I can’t even listen to words. I’ll show you the proof!”
I step closer and grab Lina’s chin with my hand.
Lina was startled, but did not resist.
I don’t think his distrust has grown to the point where he still refuses to take my hand.
If so, it happened.
Activates the special move “Stroke the jaw” for the vs. Rina battle!
“Wow…”
Lina was in tears. Not the prettier tears she shed, but the mischievous tears that came from the heart. It seems that he was also touched by affection and recalled the memories of the past.
“Until now, hmm. Every time I get a reward from the boss, hmm. I was happy, it was good, heh heh.”
okay. Now, based on the memories of the past, I will stop wandering for a while and return to the obedient Lina I used to be.
How good is it if you listen well?
Buy me a good weapon and tickle my chin like this. Sometimes, if you’re in a good mood, you openly authorize an assassination.
“Now I know. The meaning of the boss stroking his chin…”
“What?”
“Like feeding her dog, she was just giving Lina the affection she wanted… this is not real affection…”
“different! I!”
“The boss was just, just… trying to take advantage of Lina!”
Gwagwagwang…!
[warning. warning. There are signs that Lina’s loyalty is about to change rapidly due to negative tendencies.]
[The relationship with Lina is about to collapse.]
[If we can’t capture Lina’s heart immediately, Lina may deviate from the Black Mountain Society.]
Lina is a psycho.
But at the same time, she is also an ordinary woman.
She also had a desire to be loved.
1% synchronization rate.
I’ve been using it as a convenient tool so far, but it felt cumbersome for the first time.
All emotions and thoughts are excluded.
Even if you tell the truth, you won’t know.
I don’t even think it’s strange because he’s a heartless Black Mountain sashimi boss.
It became a natural thing to do.
At this rate, no words or actions can be taken seriously.
‘This is driving me all the way here.’
It wasn’t like this when dealing with exterminated guests.
It wasn’t like this when he faced the two evil spirits.
Only Lina turned my strongest weapon into my worst weakness.
He is also a subordinate that I have acknowledged.
What he longs for is my sincerity.
There is only one way to answer that.
‘Give up suppression of the synchronization rate.’
However, once the inhibition is released, the same method cannot be used again.
The human mind has a defense mechanism.
It is a form of subconsciously substituting and substituting real desires to protect oneself from the threat of stress and anxiety.
I have used this defense mechanism to forcibly and artificially suppress the synchronization rate. Even if it was true, he gave up his clumsy body and killed the cumbersome emotions.
Like a real assassin.
All emotions except for the one fun towards the game were artificially annihilated. He ignored pain and sorrow and acted like a psycho. Then, even if the death of his subordinates, he will not be able to move in.
You can go on to the next adventure even if you experience a painful failure.
If the sheet is torn, a new sheet can be made.
“Yeah, I have to admit it now.”
“boss…?”
“I was a coward. In order to exclude all weaknesses within me and purely achieve the purpose, I have killed all the disturbing emotions. I passed on the feelings that I couldn’t kill.”
He thought of Caesar and Lina as psycho bastards.
That’s just ＜Defense Mechanism: Projection>.
It is to return what you have but cannot accept as the characteristics of others. In order not to offend my conscience, I handed over all the psychotic aspects to my subordinates.
“To give and eat like garbage orders and then replace them with a few bucks and a non-trivial epilepsy. That, too, was nothing more than a frugal act of atonement.”
Affection, not affection, for his subordinates that he showed intermittently.
That too is nothing more than ＜Defense Mechanism: Withdrawal>.
I felt guilty for my subordinates who got their hands dirty while carrying out my orders, and it was just a mental defense activity I did to atone for this. There is such a twisted heart at the root of his affection for Rina.
“In order to achieve the goal, we attack the labyrinth with all our might, without allowing our minds. That’s true. So we have been able to use that fact more conveniently.”
To attack the labyrinth, he is not sincere to his subordinates, and he does not build deep relationships like before.
Even that is part of ＜Defense Mechanism: Rationalization>.
It is a self-deceptive mental defense chosen to avoid repeating the bitter experience of losing one’s subordinates. It is the result of a weak heart that just did not want to repeat the same failure.
“Labyrinth attack. Annihilation is unavoidable if you take it seriously. It will almost certainly be the case. He dragged his men into such a limb. It’s not something I can do with my mind.”
“Boss…?”
“This is the truth you wanted to know. It’s my feelings, my thoughts, and my everything that I haven’t allowed anyone to.”
Now there is no turning back
[The sync rate rises sharply!]
[2%… 5%… 10%…]
Defense mechanisms are not convenient tools that can always be revived if desired. The human mind is weak, and it is impossible to rebuild a wall once it has been broken.
A mind without walls is exposed to all shocks, and when it collapses, it must be destroyed.
There is no next Perhaps this round of play will be the last challenge in my gamer life. This is the last time it was successful or unsuccessful.
[10%… 20%… 30%…]
Lina’s eyes filled with astonishment.
“The boss is getting weaker…?”
“Only those who are ruthless can achieve true strength. As long as I have pursued emotions, I have lost my strength.”
“Oh, no! This was not what Lina wanted!”
“What stupid things are you talking about!”
“Hib!”
I tightened my eyes and stared at Lina.
However, he couldn’t stop the smile that crept in.
“You are my second favorite subordinate. Is it bad for Moore to give up power to protect the loyalty of such a subordinate?”
“!!”
“dysentery. Even if he was a little cute, he was nothing more than a subordinate. Do you think I will consider you more valuable than you, whom I’ve been with since the days of wandering around the dirty back alleys?”
I grabbed Lina’s chin again.
I felt a soft sensation that I had never felt before.
You can feel the warmth, the scent, and the trembling sincerity.
[50%… 75%… 90%…]
Emotions and behaviors that have been suppressed by instinct are released.
Like a harsh winter, my frozen heart melts.
Instinct-synchronized behavior is projected without restraint.
Clumsy, lousy, and inexperienced.
I said, stroking Lina’s chin with my sincere heart.
“You can be proud. You are so much my favorite rich man. Would you accept this evidence?”
Lina bowed her head and nodded shyly.
[Complete the unexpected event ‘Proof of Trust’!]
[Lina accepted the evidence you presented. She no longer doubts your sincerity. Yandere’s rampage has barely subsided through the sacrifice of the Synchronization Ratio.]
[As a result of escaping from the trap of the evil spirit of the end, Lina’s loyalty and liking for you greatly increase.]
Future play will be more difficult.
But that’s the path I’ve chosen.
“I will never make you cry again. So you swear too. You will never betray me.”
“Of course! Lina, Lina… I will definitely watch over the boss until the day this life ends!!”
If you are a man, how not to regret the path you have chosen for your own will.
The real play starts now.
