[He's not that impressive,] I chuckled to myself after seeing his stats. All of his skills are useless to me.
With my psychic shield at level 20, I doubted any of his skills would even get through to me. Plus, my Mind Power is stronger, so even without any shield, his chances were still pitifully low.
But I must admit that I was a bit shocked that he had the power to hypnotize people. Maybe that's why Bandage Guy didn't think much of Gifted who could control others, as they lack real combat capabilities face to face .
I am an exception because, with the system, I have the ability to learn different types of skills, making me an all-rounder.
[Can't he pick up my Intent?] I mused to myself as I continued to observe. Surprisingly, he and the Bandage Guy couldn't detect my Mind Link. It got me wondering if Rei Mei and Alice were just on a whole different level.
Well, considering Rei Mei can vibrate at the speed of sound, she could probably flick this guy to oblivion with just her finger.
[Speaking of vibrating, damn, I missed my chance. Is that even possible? Can she do that? Maybe she could control the intensity of her vibration ?] My mind became filled with lewd thoughts after realizing that the enemy in front of me was just a nobody.
[Calm yourself, Zyden,] I muttered to myself ,as I immediately canceled them out and focused more on the situation at hand. I decided to wait and see.
She didn't panic immediately; instead, she seemed to be thinking of ways to escape the situation.
I could tell from her eye movements that she was considering something. Suddenly, the man walked closer, but his feet landed on a book, causing him to stop for a moment. That gap was enough for Kanon to turn around and pull her gun.
"Stop or I will shoot you!" she warned.
[This woman is an idiot. That guy can hypnotize you—just shoot him!] I facepalmed at her action. Her intelligence might be overrated.
Dong-ha Shin raised his hand, as if he was planning to surrender. However, I could tell from his face that he was quite confident in his power. He didn't seem threatened at all.
[Oh, this is getting exciting,] I thought to myself as I continued to watch this blockbuster-type scenario unfold. The tension in the room escalated, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation for what would happen next.
"Are you sure you want to do that ?" He replied with a creepy smile.
"So, you're the Whisperer. The one who's been killing all those women!" Kanon squinted her eyes.
I could tell that she was really angry right now, so I'm more confused why she had not shot him yet.
Just pull the trigger and shoot his head. If you want to capture him, then shoot his legs. Simple as that.
The two of them where in a stand still as the Dong-ha Shin refused to answer question.
"Surrender now, I'll take you in," Kanon spoke as she slowly inched forward until she was finally a meter away from him.
"Stop moving," Dong-ha Shin commanded, and just like that, she stopped in her tracks.
I observed the unfolding scene, pondering why he had hesitated to use his power earlier. In that time span, she could have easily pulled the trigger if she were a bit trigger-happy or have some common sense.
Then, a sudden realization struck me—perhaps his power had a distance limitation. Unlike my Suggestion, which only required the target to hear my command, and with Mind Link, I could extend it to cover hundreds of meters.
"What did you do?" she protested, struggling to pull the trigger, but her body just wouldn't cooperate.
"Put your gun away," Dong-ha Shin commanded again.
Kanon slowly lowered her gun, and then, like some creepy puppet master, the guy made her walk into the living room.
I could see her struggling to break free, attempting to regain control of her body, but it was all in vain.
She looked like a marionette, completely under the sway of that guy who held total dominion over her. He had the power to manipulate her every move, and she was helpless to put up any resistance.
[What a despicable person, forcing a girl like that,]I muttered, shaking my head in disappointment.
This old guy made me sick. With my smart brain, I had already figured out what was going to go down. I was pretty sure he would take advantage of her first.
"What are you planning to do? I work for Cerebrum, and they will know if something happened to me right away!" she warned.
[Oh, that's new. I did not know that. It was a good decision not to reveal myself right away.]
"You think I don't know that you work for that corrupted organization," Dong-ha Shin sneered in contempt.
She did not respond; it seemed she also knew that something was wrong within her own group.
"I also know about that card in your pocket. Normally, it would send a signal if an agent like you dies, right? But I've killed people like you too many times before. That thing doesn't do shit. They'll be notified, but so what? You'll already be dead before they even show up," he chuckled menacingly.
"Now, aim that gun at your own head!" he commanded.
