Chapter 8, Inception
"Do you still need to ask me after you already know?" Fei'er pouted.
"I won't make any small moves, I don't want to die!" Fei'er shouted while patting the bed
"My lord Aiden, could you please grant me a little bit of magical authority? I would like to demonstrate it to you using illusion," requested Phil.
"Is it really not that you slipped on the soap and bumped your head against the cabinet?" Aiden probed.
That soap was dropped on the ground by Veronica, are you trying to help her conceal it
"Are you still a master of psychology?" Aiden chuckled
Just as Aiden was about to get up, Phil suddenly called out to him: "Wait a moment, Lord Aiden"
Aiden looked at her in silence
What did you see in her dream
I do not trust them at all" Fei'er complained discontentedly
"What bodyguard fee? What are you talking about?" Fei'er said, her gaze wandering.
Aiden nodded, and this statement indeed aligned with the truth that Veronica had conveyed.
As the wealthiest woman in the core area, when she encounters trouble, she chooses to bribe other prison bosses to resolve her issues. Moreover, due to her multiple stints here, she has accumulated quite a network of connections. Inmates who know her would never choose to provoke her, and only newcomers like Anna and Catherine, who have just been transferred from other prisons, would be foolish enough to challenge her authority.
"A pimp claiming to have pure intentions is akin to a lion declaring itself a vegetarian." Aiden scoffed, "One last question, how did you faint?"
There is just a little left, although it is impossible to enchant and absorb essence, it is still possible to glimpse into others' dreams. " Fei'er explained to him, " Dreams can sometimes reveal a person's subconscious. I originally intended to see if she had any psychological weaknesses.
What do you want? Don't tell me again that you feel unwell and want me to stay here with you. I am very busy right now, so don't cause me any trouble! Aiden stared at Phil with a wary expression, as this girl always seizes any opportunity to create a fuss.
"Alright then," Aiden glanced at the prison doctor beside him, "keep an eye on things for me. If anything seems off, immediately call in the riot squad."
Phil's final testimony is consistent with Veronica's description, which suggests that what Veronica said is mostly the truth
"It really wasn't you who provoked them, causing them to endure and then resort to physically attacking you?" Aiden asked with a cold smile
No, that's not it! Fi'er pouted in dissatisfaction, saying, "I just wanted to tell you that guy... might not be a murderer after all"
"She has at least helped me once, after all. I am also a person of principle." Fei Er crossed her arms, her face radiating a sense of righteousness.
Alright! She sat up energetically on the bed, her hand reaching towards Aiden's temple as she began to cast an illusion
Veronica is still unaware that she has been used by Phil. Although Phil lacks combat ability, she is actually very cunning.
"How could that be? I am such a simple-minded person..." Fei'er still wanted to evade the situation.
So, you were certain that Veronica would help you, and thus you took advantage of her to deal with the two individuals in Room 6. Aiden nodded and teased with a smile, "Not bad, very clever, using a tiger to catch a wolf, and even saving on bodyguard fees"
Phil vigorously nodded: "Yes, yes, they said that if they are not given money, they will break all my fingers. I said that Lord Aiden would not stand by and do nothing, and they just said, what is the warden, just a worthless piece of trash"
Will they be foolish enough to actively provoke a death row inmate? Aiden stared into Phil's eyes and the library's gaze, You better not speak carelessly, otherwise ...
How can you be so certain? Just because she helped you once?
She... Fei'er thought for a moment, "She was originally taking a shower alone inside, and I don't know how she heard it, but suddenly she ran out to warn those two not to go too far. Then those two started to fight with her, and the death row inmate got into a scuffle with them."
Phil gently tapped her chin with her hand, adopting a thoughtful expression: "I don't know, when they started fighting, I was getting ready to run, and then I don't know who hit me on the back of the head..."
Yes, I remembered it wrong! Fei'er quickly waved her hand, "Those two wretches were intimidated after I warned them, but as soon as I left, they immediately turned fierce and started to hit me. Then the death row inmate came back to save me, and that was when they started fighting with her."
Aiden felt a flash of white before the surrounding scene transformed. He found himself seated in the spectator's area of the court, the sound of the bell's judgment resonating from above.
What about Veronica
In summary, they are there to extort me, in a very aggressive manner. " Fei'er shrank her neck.
As soon as the words fell and the book was mentioned, Fei'er immediately felt that a portion of her magical power, which had been suppressed by the barrier, was restored
"Isn't all your power sealed?" Aiden furrowed his brow
I stayed in a room with her yesterday, so frightened that I couldn't sleep. It was the first time I had to interact with such a terrifying person, and I truly felt uncertain. So, while she was asleep, I tried to explore her dreams...
"I warn you not to embellish the story; if I find out that you are secretly insulting me, you can expect to be put in confinement." Aiden interrupted her with a glare.
Stop pretending. Even if Veronica doesn't help you, you would still spend money to hire other inmates to deal with those two fools, wouldn't you? You've always relied on such means to get by here, haven't you? Aiden bluntly pointed out.
Who knows? They are bad people; what kind of mischief can bad people not commit?" Faye instinctively averted her gaze
Alright, alright, I will confess honestly! Fei'er felt extremely uncomfortable under their scrutiny and raised her hands in surrender, "Seeing how terrified they are of the death row inmate, I just provoked them a little..."
The defendant, as a law enforcement officer, abused his power and, armed, killed civilians. His actions constitute the crimes of dereliction of duty and murder. Furthermore, during the process of being apprehended, he maliciously attacked law enforcement personnel, which severely impacted the reputation of the law enforcement agency. Following a unanimous verdict by the jury, the defendant was found guilty of dereliction of duty, murder, and obstructing justice, and it was decided to sentence him to death
Since they are so afraid of death row inmates, how could they have the courage to strike you before she left
"They've all gone to prison, and yet they still talk about righteousness..." Aiden felt both angry and amused, "Alright, I have a general understanding of the situation. Since you have no issues now, you can go back to your cell with the guard later."
"How could that be?" Fei'er said with a nervous smile
I am being serious!" Fei'er said angrily, "We often infiltrate the dreams of others to study the desires and preferences of our targets. A succubus with a bit of experience will have a certain understanding of human psychology.
"Whoever believes you is the biggest fool under heaven." Aiden shot her a glance, "Alright, hurry up. Inmate 3307, unseal the temporary spell-casting authority."
Aiden immediately became skeptical
"So, are you saying that Anna and Catherine from Room 6 blocked you in the changing room and extorted a control fee from you? Is that what you mean?" Aiden crossed his arms and began to question.
