Chapter 556 – Doubt
When Lee Jin-seok said he did not want to talk anymore and tried to go back, Han Ye-ryeong, who could not stand it any longer, got up and grabbed his arm.
‘I can’t forgive you for messing with my friends!’
Since I was young, they were the friends who first approached me and talked to me, who I was not very friendly with.
Although we are now separated due to our studies and do not see each other often, we are still colleagues and friends who are like no other in the world.
I couldn’t stand the thought of my friends being mentally manipulated by that man and living as mere playthings.
“Tell the truth! “Tell me that you controlled the minds of my friends!!”
“Ha… I’ve never done that before. “I have never once used my mind control abilities since I broke up with you.”
“Do not lie! “I wouldn’t have used it all because I wanted the body anyway!!”
“This is why I said I didn’t want to talk.”
No matter what I say here, it is of no use. They broke up because of mind manipulation in the first place. Would you easily believe that?
They say I’ve committed a crime, so they’ll just leave me alone, but since I can’t prove it again, I tried to just go, but they block me again.
I thought we would just keep having the same conversation if I stayed like this, so I said to Han Ye-ryeong, who grabbed my arm tightly and wouldn’t let me go.
“Just wake them both up and ask them.”
“Joy! Do you think I’d be fooled by something like that? “I guess they’ve already controlled everything, so they only say things that are favorable to you!”
“Ha… It’s really frustrating.”
They unconditionally believe that I controlled their minds, but this side has no way to prove it.
Even though we continued to talk, the situation was the same. Hearing something like that from someone I had already broken up with made me feel irritated, but I held back.
This is like the karma that I incur when I abuse my abilities without thinking. To a certain extent, I planned to tolerate it without saying anything.
“Since you broke up with me, are you targeting my friends? You are such trash!”
“No matter how much you say that, it doesn’t change the fact that I didn’t control your mind.”
“That’s how it comes out, right? “I have a method for everything…”
No matter how much he claims, he gets angry when he sees Lee Jin-seok’s face, saying he didn’t do anything.
It is clear that he manipulated the minds of his close friends with the intention of taking revenge on them for breaking up with him.
That’s why Han Ye-ryeong turned on the content she had recorded on her cell phone when she broke up with her ex, Lee Jin-seok.
-I can control people’s minds at will…
As they break up, a voice makes Lee Jin-seok confess about his abilities and speaks to the two women with whom he had an affair.
I still had it in case I needed to use it, but I was finally able to use it.
“If you continue to deny this, this will be spread all over the internet.”
“Ha… Do you have to do something like that?”
“Then why did you have to do such trash?!”
Han Ye-ryeong doesn’t hesitate to threaten me using the recording she made before we broke up.
It’s frustrating to see her like that.
I’m so obsessed with myself that I always think I’m doing something wrong and don’t even think about listening to what my friends, or I have to say.
But it’s even more frustrating because I have no way to prove it.
At the time I was alone, drowning out my anger and wondering what to do.
[I found an item in your store that can detect mind control.]
The system that was quietly watching this situation gave me advice.
‘Buy it.’
I didn’t think it would mean much to show this to Han Ye-ryeong, who had already rolled her eyes anyway, so I asked her to buy it first.
Unlike abilities, I could show the contents of store items to the other person if I wanted.
[Mental Appraisal Bead] – 100,000 P
-This is a bead that can check for hypnosis or abnormal status on the target. You can use it with the consent of the other party.
The item chosen with advice from the system is a bead that can detect when there is something mentally abnormal in the other person.
Although it boasted a fairly high price for a mere bead, it was enough to get rid of this suspicion.
“Now take a look at this.”
“What is this…”
“An item that can confirm your suspicions.”
When I summoned the bead from her hand and showed it to Ye-ryeong Han, she looked at me with her face full of suspicion.
“Aren’t you trying to control my mind by showing me this?”
“Ha… I knew that would happen, so I prepared this too.”
“What is this again?”
I knew in advance that Han Ye-ryeong would be suspicious of me showing him the beads.
I once showed such vigilance and was attacked, but it was strange if I just ignored it without suspecting anything.
[Parchment of Contract]
-Make a contract with the person you want and ensure that the contract is kept unconditionally. If you violate it, you will face a huge penalty.
I’m not sure what’s bad about it because the penalties are vaguely written down, but since it’s a store-based item, the effect was clear.
I showed Han Ye-ryeong the contents of the parchment in my hand and opened my mouth to sign a contract.
“From this moment on, I swear that I will never use any of my mind-controlling abilities against my target, Han Ye-ryeong.”
Since this contract can only be made with her mutual permission, she noticed it right away when she gave him a glance.
“I agree.”
As soon as the words of agreement came out of Han Ye-ryeong’s mouth, the parchment became light and disappeared, and a halo of light disappeared into each other’s hearts.
“Ugh…”
“Hmm…”
As the halo of light seeps in, I feel a little stuffy in a corner of my chest.
Realizing that this was the end of her contract, I looked at her and said.
“That’s enough now, right? Then check the effect of this bead.”
“Okay…”
Although he still couldn’t believe it, one of the Yeryeongs who confirmed what was happening inside her body brought her face to her bead and read her effect.
Perhaps because of the effect of the parchment I showed her just before, she quickly nodded and spoke to me.
“You mean I can use this on my friends?”
“Yes, if it hits, it will turn blue. If there is a status abnormality, it will turn red.”
As soon as I purchased the item, the system provided detailed information, so there was no difficulty.
Holding the beads I gave her, Han Ye-ryeong approaches Joo-eun Lee, who is sleeping while drunk.
The order didn’t really matter, I just wanted to check with her beads since she was closest.
-Gulp
Ye-ryeong Han, who swallowed her saliva once to see if she was nervous, slowly brought her bead to Joo-eun Lee’s sleeping face.
“Gasp!”
She was holding her bead as if she saw a window in front of her asking if she wanted to use it, but she was so startled that she almost dropped it.
Ye-ryeong Han, who quickly regained her composure, nodded her head in agreement and soon a small light emanated from her orbs and began to examine Lee Joo-eun.
-Whaaah!
The light that erupted momentarily illuminated the faces of the two, but soon quieted down, and color spread from within.
Gray light spread through the transparent glass bead, soon turning blue and filling the entire bead.
“Am I right?”
“Well, that can’t be possible… There’s no way you wouldn’t do something like that…”
“If you don’t believe that, should I just tell you with a lie detector test item?”
“Okay! This is all wrong! Try that too!”
I even bought a lie detector and showed it to Ye-ryeong, who couldn’t believe it even after seeing what was unfolding before her eyes.
“I have never lied once while meeting Han Ye-ryeong today.”
-Too… Too… Ding!!
When you speak while holding a black, square lie detector, the word truth appears in front of you.
When Ye-ryeong saw this, she took the lie detector from my hand and tried it herself, as if she couldn’t believe it.
“I am a man.”
-Toot… Too… Beep!!
When she, a woman, lies that she is a man, a red light appears, indicating that she is lying.
After seeing that it was definitely effective, Han Ye-ryeong quickly approached her friend and tried using her beads.
The result showed that there was still no abnormality in her mental condition, and she eventually collapsed on the spot.
“I have never controlled their minds, and I have not used my mind control abilities even once since I broke up with you.
-Too… Too… Ding!
When Ye-ryeong, who is devastated, takes her lie detector test and confirms it, it appears that it is true.
In case she didn’t believe me, she told me that I was a woman, confirming everything, including the fact that she was lying.
“Oh, no… That can’t be possible… My friends, my friends wouldn’t fall for a man like this…”
“Your friends came to me voluntarily to ask me to do it.”
“It’s a lie… It’s all a lie!!”
Ye-ryeong Han lowered her head and repeated that she was lying, as if she couldn’t believe it even though she showed it right in front of her.
The psychological impact of thinking that all the friends I had been so close to had fallen for that man was so great.
I thought she was mind controlling and forcing me to do it, but that wasn’t the case.
His friends met him and mingled with him of their own volition.
‘How could you keep it a secret from me…’
He knows why he broke up with him, and he knows how hard it has been since the breakup.
“Wow…”
When he thinks that he was doing something like that behind his back, he can’t bear it and starts to vomit.
Han Ye-ryeong was even more shocked by the betrayal of her friends whom she truly valued than when she broke up with Lee Jin-seok.
“I’ve confirmed everything, so I’m leaving now.”
“How… How could you do this to me!!”
All checks were completed, and her misunderstanding was corrected thanks to the item I spent a lot of money on.
But she couldn’t accept that, so she shouted at me and got angry.
Knowing how hard it was for her, how could she reach out to her dearest friends, let alone her family?
Even as I watched her speak so desperately, I couldn’t say anything.
Because he wanted to take personal revenge on her, he deliberately targeted them and corrupted them with pleasure.
“Sorry.”
Now I have given up on that feeling and am I caring for the slaves with a good heart, but in the beginning, my heart was tainted by filth.
So, after briefly apologizing to her, I watched her cry for a moment and then went outside.
-Huh… Huhhh!!!
A loud crying sound is heard from outside. A cry that sounds even sadder than when you broke up with me.
I was concerned about that sound, so I used noise blocking items that I installed in advance before leaving the house to reduce the crying sound.
‘This is the end now.’
Now, everything has really come to an end between me and Han Ye-ryeong.
Since breaking up with her, she hadn’t seen her face or talked to her even once, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
Because I felt guilty that I had hurt the other person’s feelings, I couldn’t express my opinion properly at that time and ended up just hearing negative comments from one side.
But today, by chance, we met and had a conversation, and I realized that everything was over.
‘We will never meet again.’
I will never see her again. I think she’s shocked that her friends are messing around with me, so I’m sure she’ll be sad about the betrayal for a while.
Still, my friends’ minds weren’t controlled, and they met me purely out of their own will, so I don’t have anything to say when I meet them.
Now that everything is over, I have severed all remaining connections with her and returned to her house with a slightly uncomfortable feeling.
——————–
After Lee Jin-seok left, Ye-ryeong Han felt a familiar feeling that a corner of her heart was empty.
“Haaa…”
It seems that the empty space is much bigger than when she broke up with Lee Jin-seok, whom she thought she really loved.
Meeting the friends in front of her made her life, which had always been dull and uncomfortable, become enjoyable.
However, when I found out that those friends were having sex with the man who broke up with them, the shock did not go away at all.
“Hmm…? Yes, Ye-ryeong? Why are you crying…?”
“Huh… It’s us…”
When she was crying alone and feeling the emptiness in her heart, Gowri, who woke up from her drinking, looked at her and was worried.
She was drinking happily and woke up to find her friend crying, which made anyone worry.
“Yeryeong, what’s going on, why are you crying?”
“Ugh… Huuuuu!”
She has to tell her truth to Gowri, who cares about her. She should ask why she was messing around with her ex-boyfriend.
But.
Her mouth couldn’t fall. Because I felt like if I said that here, our relationship wouldn’t be the same as before.
I felt like if I said that, everyone would feel uncomfortable and try to be considerate of me, ruining the relationship.
I want to open my mouth, I want to ask, but I can’t open it well. In the end, all she could do was cry.
Afterward, it took quite a while for Lee Joo-eun to wake up and Ye-ryeong to calm down and talk to them properly.
