Hmph! Using hypnosis in front of me? With your level of mental strength, you couldn’t even fill a cavity in my tooth! Alright then, let’s play! Let’s see who can outplay the other! Mu Lin thought secretly to himself.
Pretending to have already fallen under hypnosis, Mu Lin feigned a light sleep. The doctor then began his questioning: “What is your name?”
“Daniel Mu,” Mu Lin replied.
The doctor continued asking routine questions about age, origin, and other mundane details. Mu Lin answered half-truthfully, half-deceptively. As the questioning deepened, Mu Lin finally understood their true intentions—they were targeting his medical skills, clinic, and foundation.
Glancing at the nearby camera setup, Mu Lin decided not to act yet, continuing to answer with a mix of truth and deception. Regarding medical questions, he provided answers based on publicly available information, skillfully skirting around core details since none of them truly understood medicine. When asked about clinic management and finances, he shifted responsibility to the higher-ups.
From the doctor’s questions, Mu Lin deduced that the enemy had been tailing him since he arrived in New York. They knew many detailed events that had occurred there, but they knew little about his time in Boston, asking only vague questions about it. This reassured Mu Lin greatly—his base in Boston had not yet been infiltrated.
“From now on, whenever you hear someone say ‘Stear Psychological Hypnosis Diagnosis,’ you will unconditionally follow that person,” Stear intensified the psychological suggestion. Mu Lin inwardly smirked, thinking how despicable these people were to add another layer of control. If they wanted to play dirty, he would play even dirtier.
“When I count to three, upon hearing the number three, you will forget everything that happened today and fall into a deep sleep. Now I’ll begin counting: three, two, one!” As soon as Stear finished speaking, Mu Lin pretended to fall into a deep slumber, and the nearby camera stopped recording.
When the three men stood up to celebrate, Mu Lin’s spatial confinement ability was already activated. His spiritual consciousness quickly entered their minds, searching for the information he needed. He found that the mastermind behind this plot was indeed clever—Dr. Stear was a legitimate psychologist, and all his questions had been prearranged. Annoyed that Stear was aiding evildoers, Mu Lin subtly altered his mind.
The two henchmen were just ordinary street thugs hired at a high price to carry out this task. They didn’t even know who Mu Lin was. Someone had instructed them to come to this villa, and they were merely following a set procedure. After completing their job, they would deliver the videotape to a designated location.
Mu Lin inwardly thanked his patience for not acting prematurely. By allowing them to obtain a ‘genuine’ tape, he avoided alerting the masterminds and cutting off the trail, which would have made things far more complicated. Thinking of a hidden venomous snake watching him, ready to strike at any moment, Mu Lin felt a surge of anger. Although he wasn’t afraid of any underhanded tactics, his women currently lacked the ability to protect themselves. If anything happened to them, he would regret it deeply, leaving a crack in his spiritual cultivation that could cause serious problems during his future tribulations.
It seemed he needed to resolve this matter first. Afterward, he should refine some pills to enhance their powers and forge some magical artifacts for their protection and combat abilities.
Withdrawing his spiritual consciousness, Dr. Stear followed the original plan and left by car. The two henchmen took the tape and departed. Mu Lin secretly placed a tracking talisman on the tape. As soon as someone received it, Mu Lin would know its final destination, enabling him to trace it back to the hidden mastermind.
Next, someone came to remove Mu Lin’s restraints and placed the seemingly sleeping Mu Lin into a car. Upon reaching his clinic, the person simply dropped off the car and left.
Observing this meticulously planned operation, Mu Lin couldn’t help but silently applaud the enemy’s ingenuity while becoming even more determined to wipe out this cunning group entirely.
At this time, Finny and the others received a call from a kind stranger saying that Mu Lin had been seen sleeping in a car downstairs. They hurried down to check.
Mu Lin knew that enemies were still secretly watching him. With current high-tech surveillance methods, they could easily monitor his every move from several kilometers away. He couldn’t afford to show any signs of awareness that might alert them and ruin everything. He waited for Finny and the others to shake him awake, deliberately feigning confusion about how he ended up sleeping in someone else’s car, loudly questioning Finny. Finally, comforted by Finny and his young female police secretary, they all returned to the villa together.
Knowing he was under enemy surveillance, Mu Lin revealed no hint of suspicion. He behaved normally, finishing dinner as usual, then visiting the two young policewomen’s room to examine the gifts he had bought for Mei Fang and Mei Zi. While complimenting their taste, he couldn’t resist teasing them a bit, causing the two young officers to blush and pout. If Mu Lin weren’t worried about enemies secretly watching and peeping into his private moments with the two young women, he might have gone even further than just teasing.
When the night grew deep and quiet, Mu Lin entered Finny’s room. Due to his high cultivation level, the three girls couldn’t satisfy him simultaneously in bed, so they now shared one room.
After turning off the lights and settling down, Mu Lin set up a Primordial Array to isolate the room from external interference. He extended his spiritual sense to carefully check Finny and the others, finding no signs of hypnosis. Then, he quietly informed them about the day’s events. He warned them not to let the two young policewomen go out easily during these days, to prevent the hidden enemies from seizing any opportunity to threaten him.
Suddenly, Mu Lin sensed the tracking talisman stirring. After instructing Finny and the others not to act rashly, he activated an earth遁 (earth遁) talisman and vanished from the room.
Feeling the talisman’s signal nearby, Mu Lin halted his steps and hid in a dark spot, carefully observing the surroundings.
The scenery looked strangely familiar. After a moment’s thought, Mu Lin realized he was near Chinatown, explaining why the terrain felt so familiar. At that moment, he noticed the tracking signal had stopped. Extending his spiritual perception, he discovered the tape had reached the Black Dragon Society’s hideout. He chuckled inwardly—The monk may run away, but the temple remains. Finally, I’ve found your den, you foxes! We’ll settle the score slowly!
