67. Leaks
Merlin looked at the middle-aged gentleman and the blonde girl who suddenly came up to talk with some curiosity, the handsome middle-aged gentleman he glanced at and ignored it, he looked at the girl twice, not because of the girl's beauty, but simply because of the girl's drill-like hairstyle.
"Hey, I didn't expect anyone to really do this hairstyle, okay, it's unexpectedly a little good-looking."
For this drill-like hairstyle that he had only seen in anime in his previous life, Merlin felt a little strange.
However, it would be rude to keep staring at a lady, so Merlin quickly looked away and refocused his attention on the middle-aged gentleman who was accosting Cynthia.
At first, Merlin wondered if Cynthia was too pretty, so she was so beautiful that she attracted suitors who coveted her beauty.
This is a common routine in novels in previous lives.
"Isn't it my chance to pretend to be a big face as the protagonist has finally come?"
Thinking of this, Merlin's spirit was shocked, with his current appearance, where does he need to fight like those mediocre-looking protagonists in his previous life, as long as he stands out after a while, showing a smile, he will make those prodigal sons immediately ashamed of themselves, surrender with courtesy, and surrender without a fight....
emmmmm... Forget it, I still don't laugh.
After Merlin thought about it carefully, he didn't dare to smile again, after all, this 90-year-old charm was no longer gender-neutral, regardless of race, and he was afraid that he would become that scourge after laughing.
While Merlin was confused by his charm, Cynthia looked at the middle-aged gentleman in front of her with interest.
The handsome middle-aged man in front of him is a celebrity, and that face often appears in major newspapers, even a mysterious person like Cynthia has long admired him, this is the protagonist she and her brother talked about just now, the current patriarch of the Halder family, Hudson. Halder.
It's just a little strange to Cynthia why this avid occult enthusiast would suddenly block her path and just call out her name.
Although the name Cynthia is thunderous on the mysterious side, and everyone who is a member of the mysterious side knows her, but in the world of ordinary people, she is not famous. After all, she is not keen on making a well-known person's vest in the outside world like other mysterious side bigwigs.
It stands to reason that such a well-known and wealthy man could not have accosted such an ordinary civilian woman with such a respectful and top hat.
"Am I being exposed?"
Cynthia immediately realized that the notoriously mysterious rich man in front of her seemed to have finally come to good luck, and instead of spending a lot of money as in the past, all the fake news he heard seemed to have obtained a little bit of mysterious truth, including her identity.
"Is that guy who is not afraid of death who can't resist the temptation of money and violates the secret ban?"
Cynthia speculated about the rich man's source of information.
Although there is a secret prohibition, expecting everyone to obey the law is a luxury in itself, and there have been too many things in the past to expose mysteries for profit.
"I am, I wonder what you're looking for me, Mr. Halder?"
Since the other party dared to take the initiative to take the photo, it was natural that she had already confirmed her identity, so Cynthia didn't want to deny anything, she generously admitted her identity and was ready to have a good chat with the rich man.
She wanted to hear what the rich man was looking for her. Who is the source of the information this time? Cynthia wondered who was so bold that he dared to betray her information without giving her a benefit fee?
It just so happened that she had been in a panic lately, and she would go to visit the unruly intelligence dealer in person.
After all, except for her own brother, there is no one in this world who can owe her Cynthia something and not pay it back, even if it is just a copper.
As for whether the chat will reveal more mysterious knowledge in the future, don't worry about this, anyway, just lose an amnesia when you leave, presumably this Mr. Hudson should have been used to amnesia for a long time.
Cynthia thought with some mistaste.
The power of money is powerful, and with enough money, you can make angels fall and demons be loyal, and that's no joke. And how could a rich family like the Halder family mobilize all its strength to search for the mystery for more than a hundred years, and not find any trace of it?
In fact, in the past, the Halder family forcibly invaded the mysterious realm more than once with money, but before they could be happy that they finally got their wish, they were cleared of everyone's memories by the secret keeper team and then thrown out, and then this group of iron-headed babies continued to search and continue to lose their memory, and this process has been repeated from the past to the present I don't know how many times.
For this kind of unchanging occult fanatics, the secret keeper troops are also helpless, and they have to set up a special team to wipe the ass of this mischievous family and clear the traces. God knows how many times the memories of the Halder family have been erased over the years, and some scholars on the mysterious side even think that if this continues, maybe the Halder family will become the first family to become resistant to amnestics, and then maybe this family will really be able to join the mysterious side as they wish, after all, this is more or less an extraordinary talent, isn't it?
"Ms. Cynthia, this is not the place to talk, could you please look at your face and move..."
Seeing Cynthia admit her identity, Hudson suddenly became a little excited, and as soon as he thought about saying this, he saw the bewitching woman in front of him waving her hand, and then smiled at him.
"Mr. Halder, now you can just say it, and no one will bother you."
Hudson didn't understand what Cynthia meant, but when he looked back at the passers-by, he saw that everyone seemed to ignore them, even though Hudson reached out and shook it in front of a passer-by and spoke to the man, but the man ignored him, as if he couldn't see anyone else and couldn't hear him.
"This.... It's amazing, is this magic? ”
The middle-aged gentleman was so excited that he couldn't pay attention to his image, as if he were a child who had gotten a new toy.
"It's just a little illusion that doesn't matter at all."
Cynthia said modestly.
Merlin on the side pouted at this, Fuck your sister's is not worth mentioning, this is obviously the highest level of perception domination in illusion.
After all, this is the entrance to the mysterious bazaar, and there are often people on the mysterious side who come in and out of here, low-level illusions can deceive ordinary people, but they can't deceive those mysterious members hidden in ordinary people, and perception domination is different, this powerful illusion based on the caster's mental power can deceive all targets whose mental power is lower than that of the caster, as long as the target's mental power is lower than that of the caster, he will be immediately dominated by the senses, and become deaf and blind on the spot.
And if the wizard who has a deeper knowledge of perception domination can even completely dominate all the perception of the other party, and even the soul, so that it will unknowingly become a puppet played by the caster at will without knowing it.
In the annual ranking of the most annoying witchcraft in the occult world, sensory domination has always been in the top ten, but fortunately, this kind of spiritual witchcraft is particularly difficult to learn, and the requirements for spiritual talent are extremely high, and often only some dark wizards of the assassination stream will strive to study this.
And any wizard who has mastered the art of sensory domination is the most terrifying and top killer, they don't need any stealth assassination at all, and they don't need to be like a berserker, they just need to walk up to the target and stab them openly, and then leave openly.
Tsk, I didn't expect this ghost woman to be an old yin, she was proficient in this insidious assassination witchcraft, what did he learn this.
Merlin looked at Cynthia with some horror and fear.
He's not afraid of the assassination effect of this witchcraft, but that kind of perception domination is a little uncomfortable, which is much more advanced than hypnotic brainwashing, not to mention pointing to a deer as a horse, even if you point to a donkey and say that this is a beautiful beautiful girl.
And as a homebody, Merlin thought of a certain series when he mentioned hypnosis, and he suddenly covered his clothes and shivered a little.
This ghost woman can't have done something to him when he didn't know it, right?
Ahem...... Forget it, Merlin who has too many scenes will be lost, and the perspective will return to Cynthia's side.
"Ms. Cynthia, I know you plan to erase my memories later, but please wait."
The middle-aged gentleman Hudson seemed to really know a little more this time, he actually saw through Cynthia's plan, and pushed the daughter behind him forward before Cynthia made a move, and then took the initiative to explain everything.
"It was Lady Barbara who recommended you to me, and she gave me this bell, saying that it will ring whenever she meets you, and Lady Barbara also told me that you seem to be planning to take in a disciple recently, I don't know if you look at my daughter's qualifications, she is the future heir of my Halder family, and she will definitely not disappoint you......"
He said this with something in his words.
