We walked directly to the front desk. To our surprise, a middle-aged man at the front desk greeted us hurriedly when he saw us coming in and proactively asked if we could stay.

As soon as he said this, before I could say anything, several guys who looked like businessmen around me became unhappy. One of them, a somewhat bald man, ran up to me angrily and argued with the middle-aged man.

.

I briefly listened to the content of their conversation. It was nothing more than that the hotel said there were no vacancies now, so these people were waiting here for the temporary guests on the second floor to check out and check in. But what the middle-aged man said to me

It obviously showed that the hotel still had vacant rooms and it was definitely not a temporary guest room on the second floor of the front building, so the businessman was very dissatisfied and even shouted rudely about which noble he knew and so on.

The middle-aged man pulled him aside very politely, and after whispering a few words in his ear in a neither condescending nor condescending way, the businessman apologized nervously and walked away quietly. Although I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I

I vaguely heard the words "Miss Michael" and "distinguished guest". It seemed that Chris had arranged it for us in advance.

We simply confirmed with the middle-aged man that we wanted a house and then followed him to the backyard. My horses would be taken to the stables in the backyard by other staff later. It was still the same guest room we stayed in before.

The familiar room from before. The difference was that when we entered the room, we found that the interior layout had been replaced with more high-end furniture. The middle-aged man did not ask for a tip and quietly closed the door after sending us into the room.

leave.

After Erica put Liz on a large bed, she looked around curiously. I let go of Polly's little hand and she ran to Liz's bed to see her sister, while I sat down at the table.

Got a glass of water.

"Now can you tell me what's going on?"

"Well, it's actually not complicated."

"Tell me about it."

"Two points, one deliberately stimulated her spirit before and put her in a high state of mental tension. Because she was so emotionally excited before, she couldn't think about the problem normally. Did you see it too? She was very hostile from the beginning.

Me, so in this situation, no matter what I say, she will not understand it calmly."

"Are you emotionally excited? It is true that people lose their minds, but her fainting was also the effect of your hypnosis?"

"It's not that I didn't do anything before she fainted. I mean I didn't do anything to her."

"Then why did she..."

"When people's tense nerves suddenly relax, they will feel a little tired."

"That's it?"

"Yes, I'm afraid she has been in a state of mental stress since that incident. There are many ways to relax her mind, but I used the most intense and direct method."

"Fear...no, despair...right?"

"Oh, can you see it?"

"Of course, I can't think of any other way besides this. After all, she looked like she was in sight of victory when she fired the gun before, but after you blocked the bullet with magic..."

"Yes, she was desperate. Excessive despair will produce some numbness, so the tense nerves were disconnected at that moment. In addition, her physical condition was also very poor during her imprisonment. I am afraid she has almost no symptoms.

Eat and sleep, so the fatigue accumulated in the past few days will sweep over her body in a moment of relaxation."

"What is your purpose for doing this? Is it to make her pass out?"

"That's not entirely... how should I put it? In fact, I don't know much about it. I once learned some research on thinking methods from a scholar who studies psychological issues. When people are emotionally excited, they usually become very thoughtful.

If you are slow, you will subconsciously take everything for granted, which is false self-rationality. At this time, people will become very irritable and show unreasonable violent behavior. Anyone who disagrees with them will be actively hostile to you.

Is there ever such a time?"

"Uh...it seems...there has been something similar..."

"Really, it seems that I will be more obedient to you in the future. If you shoot me when you are angry, I will be very unlucky."

"Don't talk nonsense! I will never shoot you at any time."

"real?"

"real!"

"Oh, then don't touch the gun when I shock you in the future."

"Of course...are you kidding me? When will I..."

"This is what you said, and I have written it down. If you violate this sentence in the future, I will never pay attention to you again."

"..."

"Haha, just kidding."

"Go on, what will she do next?"

"When she wakes up, her thoughts will become calm and sensible, and she will figure out many things on her own."

"This... your idea is a bit naive, isn't it? She is so excited, and it is obviously impossible to change her mind easily. How could she stop being hostile to you after she calms down?"

"I don't expect her to stop being hostile to me, but at least she will stop being so blind. Have you noticed that her hatred for me is even higher than her concern for her sister? This is the big issue I am most concerned about.

, I don’t want Polly to lose another sister after losing one. And... haven’t the knights also investigated Polly’s origins? She and her sisters are locals, but the two sisters

After being away for many years, Polly had been fostered in other people's homes, and many years later she appeared unknowingly in the baron's mansion."

"Been away for many years? Then how..."

"I don't know about this, and the knights can't investigate it. But Marco just told me that Liz is from the Thieves Guild. Her identity may explain everything, and Polly also said that more than a month ago

The two sisters suddenly came back, and then went to the baron's mansion and were never heard from again. What happened can only be explained by Liz, but it will depend on Liz's wishes after she wakes up.

It’s okay if you don’t want to say it.”

"What does the Thieves Guild do?"

"A gathering place for a group of scoundrels and thieves. However, in addition to doing things like chickens and dogs, their detection and assassination abilities are quite first-rate, so they are occasionally hired by nobles to do some shameful things."

"Hmm...that's interesting."

Erica rested her chin with her hand and tapped the table with her fingers to think about it. In fact, in my opinion, this issue is not worth thinking about at all. I just wanted Liz to calm down and think about it.

What happens next, after all, she still has a younger sister to take care of, and the days ahead are still very long. How can she let herself fall into confusion and hatred and be unable to extricate herself? This will not only harm herself, but also Polly.

As for my problem, I still feel a little guilty for killing Nancy, but like Erica said, I can't show this guilt anyway, at least not to anyone except Erica.

Others outside see it. But this does not prevent me from taking the initiative to compensate for this feeling of guilt and thereby reducing this part of the mental burden for myself. At the very least, I will try to help these two sisters silently, so that they can live in the future.
