If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

358 Bystander

"Matvey?" Renata was stunned, recalling the scene in the restaurant at noon, that timid and stupid little boy couldn't even use a spoon, and when there was more movement, he hugged his head and shrank back Like an ostrich, such a person can resist Yelena's cognitive tampering?

"I can feel that he is very different. Very different." Yelena rubbed the tin cup and raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't tamper with his cognition, just like you, and I also stayed in Black Swan Harbor It's been a long time, and no outsider has ever come in, which means that this boy is not a 'new friend' as the doctor said, he grew up here! It's just that no one has ever seen him! "

Haven't met any peers since childhood?
Renata couldn't imagine how the little boy named Matvey lived. He had no communication, no friends, and lived alone for five or six years. If it was her, she would definitely go crazy, right?
"You should have also noticed that Alyosha has left us forever, and his room is vacant, but the boy has no intention of moving in with us at all, don't you wonder where he sleeps tonight Is it?" Yelena asked suddenly.

"The doctor's room?" Renata said subconsciously, but she immediately noticed that Yelena's gaze at her became strange, but she herself was completely confused, and she didn't know what was wrong with her guess.

"Well, it seems that you don't mean that." Seeing that Renata's eyes were full of innocence and confusion, Yelena also fake coughed twice and corrected her expression, "Let me just say it, I am sure you can get rid of me." People who usurp the ability of cognition are very interesting, I have met three such people in this world, one is you, one is Matvey, and the other is."

"...is the Emperor?" Renata said.

"Very smart." Yelena nodded, "Just as you think, since I have such a powerful ability, why don't I just tamper with the emperor's cognition and make the other party think that I am a passerby, or a completely harmless person?" Guy, but unfortunately I can’t do it, my ability is completely ineffective on the emperor, and he is also powerful and terrifying, I can only run away.”

"Why can the emperor always find you?" Renata suddenly realized what she had been ignoring, and looked up at Yelena strangely.

When Yelena mentioned this incident before, she always emphasized the horror of the emperor, but she subconsciously ignored one thing, that is why the emperor always found her?According to Yelena, she has escaped all over the world, and with her ability, she should be able to hide in any place easily and live freely, but the emperor can always find her.

Yelena paused, looked at Renata, and there was a long silence in the room.

It wasn't until the end that the air was so stagnant that it made people feel uncomfortable, she breathed out and said softly, "Okay. I admit that I have concealed some facts, that is, it seems that there is a kind of connection between me and the emperor. Leading him to find me, but I can't cut off this connection, so he can always find me. I hope that Black Swan Harbor can become my last refuge, but I always have to prepare for the worst!"

Renata's face turned pale in an instant, because Yelena's words meant that Black Swan Harbor was not the last hiding place of the other party at all, and the remoteness of this place might only allow the terrible emperor to find it longer, but It's also a matter of time before the other party will come to the door, and then the ending will really be as Yelena said before, the entire port is facing the crisis of destruction!
Speaking of this step, Yelena's face seemed to be a little pale, not so good-looking, "Compared to me, he is the real monster. There are too many unreasonable things in him. I only know that after he caught me Terrible things will happen, so I would rather escape for the rest of my life and give up all the scenery along the way. If He really found Black Swan Harbor, I would probably leave on my own initiative, but I have nowhere to go, and I have nowhere to go. Go north, go north again, and you can only jump into the sea."

"You can tell the motherland about this and let them help you." Renata racked her brains and couldn't think of a way to solve this situation. In this case, the only way is to expel Yelena from Black Swan Harbor. In this way, the emperor will not cause harm here. But she couldn't say this sentence anyway, so she could only make this suggestion dryly.

"It's useless." Yelena calmed down, looked at Renata in front of her and said, "But in fact, this dead end is not without a solution. Sometimes the key is often placed in front of her, but she can't find how to use it .”

Renata didn't react to Yelena's meaning, but she noticed that the other party's eyes fell on her.

". Me?" She pointed to herself with some doubts.

"Actually, there is another reason why I took the initiative to find you, Renata, and this reason is also related to the question you asked." Seeing Renata's expression, Yelena slowly became serious, "Have you thought about why? Shall I entertain you specially tonight and tell you about these things?"

Because I am special, immune to cognitive usurpation?Yelena hopes that she can keep her promise and not expose her existence?
Renata thought so, because Yelena also said the same before, but what the other party said next broke her cognition.

"If I'm really afraid that you will expose me, why don't I just rule out your threat?" Yelena said, "My ability is to usurp cognition. I can't usurp your cognition, but I can usurp other people's cognition." , let them think that the person who has the problem is you, not me, and the person who lives in room 38 has always been Yelena and not Renata"

Renata's face changed after hearing this, but Yelena sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, I said I'm not a bad person, so I won't do this, but have a good drink with you Negotiating conditions, mutual trust, including now, I have said these words, and I can show my sincerity."

Hearing this, Renata's complexion recovered a bit, and her mood was as exciting as if she had been on a roller coaster.

"But Renata, do you know? Before I said that you are the key to get rid of the emperor, I was not joking. I said that you can ignore my cognitive usurpation. This seems to be a very unreasonable thing, but in my case Judging from the feelings here, it's like I released a domain, and your body is covered with a layer of insulating film, completely repelling my domain, so my ability can't take effect on you. You are nothing to me. It's like being protected inside by an airtight ball! What does this mean?" Yelena paused before continuing, "It means that if I can find a way for you to be immune to my ability, I will think about it again." If there is a way to reproduce it, maybe there will be a chance to block the emperor's perception of me, so that I will be completely free, and he will never find me again!"

Renata seemed a little at a loss because of Yelena's rhetoric, thinking that she still has this ability?But she usually has no special place at all, she should eat and sleep, but occasionally she runs out to play wild at night, and takes Zorro to the library to roast the fireplace or something, which is not as powerful as Yelena said .

"It seems that you don't know why this phenomenon occurs on your body." Yelena's eyes gradually slowed down, she nodded and said, "But I will find out the reason."

"You said just now that the little boy named Matvey is also immune to your abilities." Renata hesitated after thinking for a while, "So are you going to find him and tell him these things?"

"I will. There must be something in common between the two of you, which means that this particularity may be repeatable. Once I can find this commonality, I may be able to cut off the connection between me and the emperor, and let him come again. I can't be found either." Yelena said seriously.

"But Matvey doesn't live with us, do you know where his room is?" Renata asked.

"I know." Yelena nodded, "Actually, I planned to go to him first tonight, but I changed my plan when I met you halfway. It's still early, maybe we still have time."

"us?"

"It's a rare opportunity to go on an adventure, are you willing not to go with me?" Yelena looked sideways at Renata and asked with a smile.

"I" Renata opened her mouth, but finally closed her mouth sullenly and nodded slightly.

"That's great." Yelena clapped her hands, stood up and put the iron cup of milk on the bed, ran to Renata, took her hand and walked out of the room.

"Don't worry." Renata seemed to be frightened by Yelena's enthusiasm, and her face was a little red when she was held by someone for the first time, and she staggered to the door, "Aren't you going to close the door?"

"No need." Yelena glanced back into the room, as if she saw someone, smiled inexplicably, "Remember to close the door."

Renata subconsciously looked back at the room, but saw nothing, then turned around and stumbled out the door.The figures of the two girls ran farther and farther in the dark red corridor, and the sound of their footsteps became smaller and smaller until they disappeared into the darkness.

After Renata and Yelena left, the corridor fell into complete silence, the red light on the freezer radiated a dark red light, the fan whizzed and whizzed, and the whistling sound of wind and snow came from outside.

But at this time, in the silence, a hand stretched out from the supposedly empty pink room, and the iron door was slowly pushed open by the hand.

Lin Nian pushed open the iron door, walked out of the room, and stood in the corridor.

He stood at the door and watched the two disappearing figures. The red light above his head shone on his face, outlining a dark and unclear shadow.

"Interesting." He whispered.

Emperor, tampering cognition, Renata, Black Swan Harbor.
What the hell are you trying to show me?
The blonde girl or rather, Yelena?
