Chapter 307: Chapter 203: The Second Hypnosis

There were two suspects, one male and one female, along with corresponding portraits.

For the City Patrol Guards of Glostit, this was the intelligence they held, tasked with screening amongst millions of inhabitants, their task felt boundless.

However, to official Transcendent forces such as the Military Department and the Silent Church, they were privy to far more insider knowledge.

For instance, the blessing on Tiya.

Unable to make physical contact with any male in the world, her partner in this escape just happened to be a man.

For Her Grace, the Holy Daughter, this was undoubtedly a very difficult affair.

Thus, their task was quite simple.

Focus on screening pairs of pedestrians and travelers, preventing the use of Sealed Objects for disguise.

And because Sealed Objects designed for investigation were so scarce, all the churches and official powers were urgently calling them in, significantly reducing the allocations within the city.

Fortunately, there were still crude methods to employ, otherwise, it would be akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Since the Holy Daughter cannot come into physical contact with any men due to the blessing, a simple probe would reveal any abnormality.

At this very moment, the young military officer who had entered the carriage was evidently holding such thoughts.

With an expressionless face, he surveyed the surroundings, and seeing three couples inside the carriage, his vigilance reached its peak.

Noticing that several people were just staring blankly at him, not speaking, the young officer frowned and repeated his order.

“Prove to me that you are truly husband and wife…starting with you.”

With that, he pointed at a young gentleman seated on the inner side of the carriage.

Feeling the other’s unequivocal gaze, Lynn inwardly exclaimed, “Damn.”

What kind of luck did it take to randomly select the right vehicle out of so many on the road and so precisely pick him first?

Lynn, who intended to see how the other two couples acted, instantly froze.

Sensing the numerous gazes within the carriage, he realized he didn’t even have the chance to fish in troubled waters.

Should he do it?

After all, as a transmigrator, he was immune to the curses on Ivyst and Tiya, something no one was aware of.

So, for now, all he needed was for Tiya to cooperate with him in making some affectionate gestures, such as hugging or kissing, to prove their innocence.

Thinking thus, Lynn subconsciously touched Tiya’s cold little hand hidden beneath her clothes.

But he suddenly realized that her palm was covered with sweat.

Was it because she was nervous?

Or was it for some other reason?

Although he didn’t look at Tiya’s eyes, for some reason, Lynn was reminded of the incident that had occurred last night.

Even in her sleep, the girl had been calling out Xiya’s name.

Even now, the recollection of that moment felt like a cold bucket of water had been poured over his head.

In the end, there was never anything ambiguous about their relationship; they merely acted out of a sense of guilt towards each other.

The person Tiya truly liked was the Hero.

So at this moment, she must be hesitating, right?

Hesitating whether to sacrifice her chastity for a guy like him.

After all, there had never been any crossing of boundaries between them.

Even their sharing of a bed last night had been out of necessity, the utmost adherence to propriety, nothing had happened.

And in this era, especially since she was raised by the Silent Church from a young age, the Holy Maiden held chastity in great esteem.

How could she waste it on a murderer like him?

Lynn took a deep breath.

Besides, if the mark hadn’t acted up last night, would he have been able to plunge the Fallen Hour?

He didn’t know.

He didn’t wish to consider that fictitious future that hadn’t yet come to pass.

…

Even though these thoughts were fleeting, any hesitation in such a situation appeared especially suspicious.

There was no time for hesitation.

Damn.

When did I turn into such a good guy who would go all out for someone else’s girl?

Lynn looked around expressionlessly at the people present.

Apart from the leader, who was a Third Rank Military Department Extraordinary, the rest were all First Rank.

But due to the distance being too great, and the city already under martial law, he could also see various other patrol guards within his field of vision.

After discarding the possibility of bluffing their way through with Tiya, there weren’t many options left.

Either fight or use the Lie Swallowing.

However, if only the few military officers and City Patrol Guards here were deceived by a lie, and if any signs were later found, a slight investigation would expose their tracks completely.

Judging by the public carriage’s destination, it would be easy to guess the two were trying to smuggle out through the Black Street Market.

Thus, what Lynn needed to do was use the Lie Swallowing, to extend the effect of the lie as much as possible, to muddle the waters.

He had employed this tactic back in Orn City when dealing with devotees of the Creationist School.

However, compared to then, the conditions and environment now were undoubtedly more stringent, almost akin to altering cognition, necessitating them to forget this memory invisibly.

This even included several Transcendents.

Although blessed by the Witch Miss’ strengthened Divine-given factor, relying on this body still recovering from the Life Player’s sequelae to achieve his goal was somewhat difficult.
