It was capable of instantly captivating the consciousness of urban legend of Miss Rabbit's level, and even a Calamity-level being would experience a slight ripple in their mind ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) if caught off guard!
The black man was clearly an internal staff member of Angel Rose, and the two strong men's attire was identical to the attendants at the main entrance...
They were all Angel Rose staff members, so it was hard to guarantee they didn't have Psychic items that could resist charm.
One second after unleashing her charm ability, seeing the eyes of the six people around her tinted with a faint reddish glow, having entered a charmed state, Lu Yibei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the black man, saying, "So now, can you open the door for me and take me inside?"
However, to her surprise, the black man didn't agree immediately.
"This..." He opened his mouth, glanced left and right at the two strong men, somewhat hesitant.
The fear caused by the price of secretly bringing people into Angel Rose through the staff entrance seemed to be something even the ultimate charm ability couldn't completely mask.
Noticing the black man's hesitation, Lu Yibei quickly said, "You don't want to? But aren't we good friends? Shouldn't good friends help each other? Alright, I understand, it turns out I was the only one who considered you a good friend, and you just think I'm an insignificant passerby, right?"
"Alright, then so be it, I'm leaving now! Since you don't consider me a good friend, it would be tactless for me to stay here... Hmm, let's end it here! Let's not contact each other again in the future."
People in a charmed state will instinctively treat the charmer as a very important person. When making a request at such a time, if the other party hesitates, they shouldn't be allowed to think too much... Instead, continuous psychological pressure should be applied, using a "soft knife" to force the other party to make a choice!
Upon hearing Lu Yibei's words, the black man frowned.
Although they were close friends who could sacrifice their lives for each other, he always felt that something was not quite right.
Didn't we just meet?
We haven't even exchanged contact information, so how can we talk about never contacting each other again?
However, before he could figure it out, several others beside him started talking, interrupting his thoughts.
"I think she's right, since we're good friends, we should help each other!" said the red-hoodied teenager.
"Yeah! It's just a small favor, bringing a good friend to the theater to watch a show shouldn't be a problem, right? What kind of trouble can a delicate girl cause?"
"Exactly! William." One of the strong men patted the black man's shoulder and said, "I also think you should take her in."
"..."
After being persuaded by several people, the black man completely gave up thinking, grinned at Lu Yibei, showing two rows of white teeth, "Sorry, I was overthinking it just now, I'll take you in now!"
As he spoke, he turned around and quickly entered the electronic lock's password.
With a soft 'beep', the lock sprang open, and the back door of Angel Rose opened just like that.
Seeing this, Lu Yibei shrugged expressionlessly.
This was the advantage of charming multiple people at once.
People have a herd mentality; as long as the vast majority are charmed, the remaining few will also dispel their doubts under the influence of the majority.
Even if one or two very few manage to stay clear-headed...
They would probably be treated as anomalies and scourges, completely excluded from the group, right?
Watching Lu Yibei easily control the thoughts of six people, with a cunning and evil glint appearing in her eyes, Nanling Yaohua expressionlessly raised her small notebook towards an empty spot. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
【Is it my illusion? She's clearly not doing anything bad, but why does she look so much like a sinister and cunning villain...】
------
When the back door of Angel Rose opened, and the narrow corridor leading to the depths was revealed like a girl opening her heart, Lu Yibei was a little disbelieving.
She wasn't doubting the level of her charm ability, but rather found it somewhat incredible that she could so easily sneak in, given the scale of the Psychic circuits Angel Rose had set up.
It could be said to be comparable to the Night Watch's defense level for a "mental hospital" housing Psychic criminals in a medium-sized city.
Presumably, it was to guard against guests causing trouble or similar incidents.
After all, in this ghostly place of Free City, the customers Angel Rose Theater had to entertain, besides some lawbreakers, also included many high-level Psychic, and even urban legend, for whom they provided special services.
The specific content of the special services was not detailed in the information provided by Nameless Book, probably because she didn't want to pollute her pure and young mind.
"..."
Speaking of which, could it be the type that is outwardly loose but inwardly tight?
Just like an older sister...
Allowing people to easily sneak inside, letting their guard down, and then setting up layers of solidified Spells internally to trap people?
Lu Yibei muttered to herself, her peripheral vision subtly drifting towards the three teenagers whose eyes were gleaming because their dreams had come true, then she gave them a slight eye signal, and they excitedly walked along the corridor deeper inside, with the two strong men walking in front of them, leading the way.
At such a young age, learning to pull out guns and visit strip clubs, in the eyes of others, they would probably be considered ruined, but Miss Disaster is best at making use of waste.
It's good to let them scout ahead!
For places like the back door passage of Angel Rose Theater, only having Nanling Yaohua investigate wouldn't work.
Those potential traps and mechanisms must be very well hidden, and very likely have special trigger conditions like Psychic, temperature, or weight. Nanling Yaohua couldn't possibly clear them all...
And the black man and the two strong men were already internal staff, so many traps and mechanisms probably wouldn't even trigger for them...

So, letting the three delinquent teenagers go ahead and trigger the traps was just right.
Simply perfect!
Lu Yibei thought, standing still for a moment, waiting until the three teenagers and two strong men had walked about three meters, before she started to follow, walking about one meter, then turned around, giving the black man who was waiting in place a look, signaling him to follow at the rear.
Thus, Lord Disaster and her guards began their grand adventure in Angel Rose Theater...

Proceeding along the back door passage, soon the clamor of rock and electronic music came from ahead.
Reaching the end of the passage and turning a corner, seeing the three teenagers and two strong men gathered in front of another heavy metal door with a password lock, Lu Yibei raised an eyebrow slightly, turned around, and patted the shoulder of the black man who had followed her.
"Good friend, it's your turn again!"
"No problem, leave it to me!" The black man smiled, took a few steps forward, quickly entered the password, and opened the door.
However, after the door opened, Lu Yibei did not see the anticipated scene of a strip club with hazy lights and alluring sights.
Behind the door was a slightly larger space.
From the corner she glimpsed, it seemed to be a large 'times'-shaped corridor.
The corridor floor was covered with dark carpet, and retro wrought-iron lamps provided bright light. On both sides were tightly closed wooden doors, from behind which muffled conversations and women's laughter could be heard.
The overall atmosphere reminded one of the guest room area of a small hotel, except the ceiling was a bit low. The two strong men, nearly two meters tall, had only a palm's distance between their heads and the ceiling, making one feel somewhat oppressed inside.
This was the waiting area, located in a small mezzanine between the first floor and the basement.
"Friend, what is this place?" Lu Yibei whispered to the black man, "Aren't we going to watch the show?"
"No hurry, no hurry!" The black man's face showed a fawning smile as he explained, "The current performance is about to end, and I still have work during the intermission. After my work is done, during the next half, I'll take you in, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Lu Yibei tilted her head.
"Otherwise..."
"Moreover, those security guys have good memories! They're almost as good as surveillance footage; they basically won't forget which guests came that night once they've seen them."
The black man explained the consumption mechanism of the Angel Rose Theater's lottery voting to Lu Yibei in a detailed yet concise manner. After listening, Lu Yibei immediately understood his intention.
Isn't this obvious?
In the entire dance hall, everyone was spending heavily on their favorite dancers, while she and the three teenagers sat there motionless, looking like freeloaders. Coupled with their unfamiliar faces, they would definitely be "asked" to leave.
So, they could only sneak in after the mid-show started and leave before the second break began.
That works too! With a few hours, if Paper Cicada Immortal is inside, it's enough time to find him... Lu Yibei thought, hearing what sounded like footsteps approaching from a distance, and quickly said to the black man, "Okay, friend, then quickly take us to your waiting room?"
"If the few of us just stand in the middle of the road like this, and someone sees us, it might not be good, right?"
"Exactly, exactly!" The black man slapped his head, then quickly led everyone into the waiting room nearby, which had a sign that read "William Nord."
The wooden door gently closed, and a few seconds later, two figures walked past the door.
"I thought I heard someone talking over here just now, where did they go?"
"You misheard, didn't you?"
"Oh? Perhaps..."
------
Lu Yibei quietly pressed her ear against the door, and after hearing the footsteps outside fade away, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as soon as she turned around, she froze.
At some point, the three teenagers and two strong men had once again entered the state of pointing guns at each other's heads, while the black man stood with his hands on his hips, scrutinizing them with an unfriendly expression.
Immediately after, four voices rang in her ears.
"Damn it! What did you do? How did you guys get in here!"
This was the black man's voice.
"Don't waste words with them, William. For guys who sneak into the theater like this, I'll just shoot them one by one and throw them into the canal. Otherwise, if they're discovered, it'll be us who get thrown into the canal!"
This was the voice of one of the strong men.
"Come on! If you dare to shoot, I'll shoot too. When the people outside hear gunshots, do you think you can escape?"
This was the red-hoodied teenager's voice. freewebnøvel.coɱ
"...Eliminate plagues and cut down malaria, remove illness and avert Disaster..."
This was...
Where did this sound come from?
Lu Yibei paused, her gaze wandering among the people for a few circles, then slowly looking down at the ground.
How come it seems to be... from below?
