Chapter 1052: You’re an SSS-Grade Hypnotist Too?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Yang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she nodded slightly.

Bai Yueshuang’s gaze swept over the people standing beside Gu Yang, her expression dimming. Finally, she looked directly at Gu Yang. “You’re really something. You can take anything.”

Xiao Yize replied, “Of course my sister is amazing.”

Feng Jue smirked. “There’s no need to take anything. We willingly give her whatever she wants. She doesn’t need to prove who she is—we trust our own judgment.”

“And no matter how much you try to prove it, we won’t believe you. Just curious, does that make you mad?”

Bai Yueshuang was clearly angry.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her fury while trying to maintain her composure. Her expression grew darker. “It seems I shouldn’t have come. Since you don’t need me, I’ll go.”

As she turned to leave, tears slid down her cheeks.

Shen Qin, looking deeply at Gu Yang, grabbed Bai Yueshuang’s arm before she could walk away. “Yueshuang, I’ll go with you. I believe in you.”

Bai Yueshuang’s face softened with relief, her voice choked as she nodded.

“Wait.”

Gu Jin suddenly called out to her.

Bai Yueshuang looked at her in surprise. “Sister…”

Gu Jin asked, “Are you also an SSS-grade hypnotist?”

“I used to be. But after the light cone experiment, my mind was damaged, and my hypnosis abilities aren’t what they once were,” Bai Yueshuang said, glancing at Gu Yang with a hint of arrogance. “Of course, given my original foundation, I can still resist hypnosis from an SSS-grade hypnotist like Miss Xiao, who hasn’t fully developed her abilities.”

Xiao Yize raised an eyebrow. “That impressive? So you’re at least SS-level now? Do you dare to come back with us to the Mutant Department for a test?”

Bai Yueshuang refused immediately. “I’m not sure, and I don’t want to know. After what happened back then, I’d rather live as an ordinary person than attract attention from those people.”

Gu Jin, Feng Jue, and Cao Cuo exchanged knowing glances.

It was clear that Bai Yueshuang didn’t dare to test her abilities with the Mutants. She might not even be a hypnotist. If she were, even without being SSS-grade, the light cone experiment would have simply diminished her abilities—not erased them.

Gu Yang studied Bai Yueshuang thoughtfully.

From the conversation alone, she could tell that this person wasn’t the girl who had been with her sister and the others at the orphanage. Even if she wasn’t the real one, she certainly wasn’t Bai Yueshuang.

Appearances could change, memories could be implanted, and mannerisms copied—but thoughts and temperament didn’t lie.

She was more curious now. If Bai Yueshuang was not a hypnotist, how did she block her hypnosis?

Shen Qin held Bai Yueshuang’s arm and said, “Yueshuang, come back with me. Mix a bottle of Wuyang or Firework for them to see.”

Bai Yueshuang looked at her in shock. “Shen Qin, even you don’t believe me?”

“I believe you,” Shen Qin replied. “I just want to help you prove it. Only you can create such powerful perfumes. Xiao Yang’s work doesn’t compare to yours.”

Gu Yang hadn’t smelled Firework, but she had experienced Feng Jue’s Wuyang perfume. It was of a higher standard than her own Tranquil Heart, but she’d only crafted Tranquil Heart casually. If she put more effort into it, making something at Wuyang’s level wasn’t impossible.

Shen Qin pressed on, “It’s okay if you don’t remember the original formula. It just needs to be on the same level.”

Seeing Bai Yueshuang’s troubled expression, Feng Jue sneered. “What’s wrong? Has the UO not only affected her Mutant abilities but also her brain? Did it take away her fragrance-making skills too?”

Bai Yueshuang glanced between Shen Qin and Feng Jue, her expression filled with sadness and pain. Tears welled up as she said, “It’s not about belief. Why do you have to make me reopen old wounds? My sense of smell… it’s gone. I can’t do it anymore.”
