This time it was Olivia's turn to be silent.
What Qiu Ruoxi said wasn't without reason, indeed, it was quite reasonable.
But why was that man so good to Qiu Ruoxi?
As for Ye Xunhuan, he didn't ask Qiu Ruoxi anything from the start, because he knew that asking would be pointless; Qiu Ruoxi couldn't possibly know anything.
Seeing that Olivia hadn't gotten any answers, she didn't continue asking!
After an unknown amount of time, Victoria walked out of the room.
Upon seeing Victoria emerge from the room, Ye Xunhuan immediately asked with concern, "How is it?"
Victoria smiled lightly, "With me handling it, are you still not at ease?"
Hearing Victoria's words, Ye Xunhuan knew that Qin Muge was indeed okay and let out a long sigh of relief.
"She's sleeping now. When she wakes up, she won't have any issues."
Victoria's tone suddenly shifted: "But there's a very tricky matter..."
"I hypnotized her and discovered something frightening from her deep memory."
Ye Xunhuan's heart tightened upon hearing Victoria's words, a bad premonition slowly rising within.
"What did you find out?"
"She was once sent to a base, where everything was dark, filled with cold machines, and there were many people, some handcuffed to cold iron beds, with something resembling a computer in front of each of them!"
"Are you saying Muge was sent to a memory simulation research center?"
"That's likely!" Victoria said seriously, "More importantly, 'Black Night' isn't in charge there; there's someone above him overseeing the base!"
Ye Xunhuan's heart quivered slightly upon hearing this.
There's someone above Black Night?
Who could have such immense power to command Black Night?
"Can you know who it is?"
"I'm a psychologist, but I can't dreamwalk or traverse into someone's consciousness," Victoria said calmly. "Just be cautious; with Black Night dead, the other side is bound to take action!"
For a long time, Ye Xunhuan was puzzled about why Black Night was so strong, his skills almost rivaling Ye Xunhuan's father.
Ye Xunhuan had fantasized about a master guiding Black Night but hadn't figured out who it was, so he didn't think much of it.
But now, Victoria's words made Ye Xunhuan realize that Black Night was merely a pawn.
Now that this pawn had been killed by him, the opposition would surely make their next move.
"Interesting!" Olivia suddenly said, "There's a hidden BOSS behind the scenes; I suddenly feel like I'm playing an online game where you level up by defeating monsters and buying gear..."
Ye Xunhuan's mouth twitched slightly.
How can you be someone who's lived for hundreds of years, maybe even a thousand, yet act like a child?
Don't you realize this is a big deal?
The unknown is always the most dangerous.
The opponent is in the dark while they're in the light; every move they make can be controlled by the opponent. If the opponent wants to do something, it's very easy.
"Victoria, what else do you know?"
"That's all!" Victoria said helplessly, "I could only uncover her deepest hidden memories, so this is what I got. But there's also some memories about her childhood; do you want to hear?"
Qiu Ruoxi and Olivia were instantly interested. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novèlfire.net
After all, women are quite gossip-prone creatures; Olivia might be a vampire, but she's still female. Qiu Ruoxi might look like a fairy, but ultimately she's just a mortal, and couldn't escape the common curiosity!
Ye Xunhuan, on the other hand, wasn't that curious.
Everyone has their secrets in life, more or less, good or bad.
Some secrets are meant to be shared, but some are meant to be kept until death.
"Marshal, don't look at me like that. I didn't dig up her inner secrets; it was just the false memories triggering her childhood during the addition, and there were manipulations over that, which made it succeed!"
Originally not so curious, Ye Xunhuan became interested upon hearing Victoria's words: "What do you mean?"
"This Qin Muge is the young lady of the Xiaoqin family in Hua Xia Capital City, right?"
"But did you know that her mother died when she was very young?" Victoria said softly, "And her life may have been entirely rewritten because of her mother's death!"
"Following her mother's death, she hardly had any happy moments, constantly busy with studies, piano, etiquette, dressing, socializing, even practicing how to smile in front of a mirror every day..."
"Her father was almost entirely used by her as a tool, a means to gain advantage, forcing her to learn many things every day..."
Outwardly glamorous, from a wealthy family, Qin Muge was seen by some as a high-society lady, unattainable.
But how many knew that she hadn't been happy all these years?
Not every wealthy family is happy; some are entirely about interests.
Like the Xiaoqin family!
"Gradually, she grew up, met more people, learned to resist, but all resistance was futile," Victoria said sympathetically, "Her life was completely planned with no choice whatsoever."
Though Qiu Ruoxi was on good terms with Qin Muge, she never knew about these matters, nor did Qin Muge talk about them.
If not for Victoria's accidental discovery, she would still remain unaware.
No wonder she wasn't particularly sorrowful when her relatives were killed by Ye Xunhuan. Apparently, her life in Qin's family wasn't good, and no wonder she came to help Ye Xunhuan; she craved freedom!
"The opponent exploited her dark childhood, creating a false illusion that you killed her mother, making her into this. It's imaginable; through repeated experiments, she couldn't resist those false memories, and they were forcefully implanted in her mind!" Victoria sighed lightly, "This filled her with hatred towards you, thinking you ruined her, explaining subsequent events easily!"
"Seems like the opponent has a very outstanding psychologist too!"
"At least on par with me; the secrets deep within one's mind aren't something every psychologist can explore, nor can every psychologist deeply hypnotize someone!" Victoria said heavily, "Your troubles seem to have just begun!"
