The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 333 - 207: Deception Logic and Sky Pavilion
Chapter 333: Chapter 207: Deception Logic and Sky Pavilion”Ugh.” Liu Tingruo heard Jiang Shu’s heartfelt words but wasn’t much moved by them, she muttered to herself while counting, ”Past Life and Present Life, Silhouette, House of Cards, Flame Spirit, Invisibility, Spirit Monster, Paperman, Thunder Son, is that about it?”

”Mm.” Jiang Shu nodded.

Actually, there was one more, the Three No Hypnosis that he performed in the Special Prison. It was just that Sister Ruo hadn’t seen it, so she was unaware of it.

But there was no need to mention that.

As Liu Tingruo examined the series of magic techniques from top to bottom, she thought for a moment, her gaze settling on ”Spirit Monster.” She looked at Jiang Shu, curiosity in her eyes, and asked, ”Can this Spirit Monster term enable you to learn Mind Reading Technique? Can you read what I am thinking?”

”Uh...” Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment. He hadn’t considered this.

Affected by various dramas and movies from the past, he was uncertain how Liu Tingruo would view Mind Reading Technique.

After all...

Everyone has their deep-seated private thoughts, and the vast majority might resist such an ability.

”Verbal language can only express about forty percent of what people are trying to communicate,” Jiang Shu explained earnestly, ”the rest is conveyed through looks, expressions, body language, and so forth. This so-called Mind Reading Technique is merely an enhancement of my ability to read expressions and body language, and it’s not the kind of true mind-reading.”

”Oh.” Liu Tingruo nodded, seeming to understand something, but then she grabbed Jiang Shu’s shoulders with both hands and stared intently into his eyes, ”Then tell me, what am I thinking right now?”

”You’re thinking...” Jiang Shu stared at her face, mouth slightly open, unsure what to say.

Liu Tingruo’s face carried a teasing expression, her lively eyes fixed on him, but her gaze was calm.

It was hard to discern much from her expression.

As for body language...

Liu Tingruo held his shoulders, but her grip wasn’t strong. Their proximity was also very close, indicating that Liu Tingruo was entirely unguarded and trusted him completely.

So, your thought is——

Jiang Shu received the Spirit Technique from the Tablet Spirits and then activated it.

[Is he reading my mind?]

[Okay, I’ll wear that low-cut, off-the-shoulder bunny girl outfit tonight. But that piece of clothing seems a bit small, especially around the chest area, it looks quite busty. Well, no time to change now, that’s a bargain for doggy Gideon.]

[But should I wear black stockings or go bare-legged? Hmm... seems like doggy Gideon prefers black stockings a bit more.]

[And the bunny tail? How am I supposed to attach that? It looks a bit weird.]

Long ago, if someone had told Jiang Shu that seeing those sexy and revealing women would make him nosebleed, he wouldn’t have believed it; he thought there was no scientific basis for it.

No matter how sexy or revealing, it was just that little bit of stuff, right?

But now, he only felt a rush of hot blood surge to his forehead, this hotblood, after entering his head, paused for only a moment, then suddenly cleared up as if it had found an outlet.

Jiang Shu felt a warm sensation tinged with the smell of blood in his nose, and it was rapidly cooling down.

He wiped it and took a look.

Red.

He suddenly understood the scientific basis for it.

When seeing or thinking about adult content, people can become extremely excited, followed quickly by an increased heartbeat and higher brain pressure, and under such conditions, if the capillaries in the nose are fragile, nosebleeding could occur.

Yes, there is a scientific basis.

Jiang Shu nodded as if enlightened, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: I’ve learned something new.

Indeed, learning brings me joy.

Mm, live and learn.

”Wipe it off.” Liu Tingruo took a packet of tissues, pulled out a sheet and held it in front of Jiang Shu, seeing him still in a daze, she raised her hand and wiped it for him with a mix of annoyance and amusement, ”Exposed, aren’t you, you dirty old man.”

Her voice was gruff, but her touch was gentle.

Then, she took a wet wipe and thoroughly cleaned off the tiny specks of dried blood around Jiang Shu’s nose and mouth, muttering as she wiped, ”Silly thing, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before...”

”I really haven’t seen this before.” Jiang Shu came to his senses, speaking adamantly.

”What? You still want to see it?” Liu Tingruo discarded the tissue and wet wipe, poking Jiang Shu’s forehead with her finger, ”A little probe and it shows. Really disgraceful.”

”Hehe.” Knowing he was at fault, Jiang Shu just giggled foolishly.

”It’s just Mind Reading, why hide it?” Liu Tingruo rolled her eyes at him, but her tone wasn’t very accusatory, as she could understand Jiang Shu’s thoughts.

Generally, people tend to develop an aversion to mind readers; it’s normal, as nearly everyone harbors some hidden, unspeakable thoughts.

”I’m afraid you have secrets you don’t want to tell me.” Jiang Shu scratched his head, trying to explain, ”It wouldn’t be good if I discovered something I shouldn’t.”

”I don’t have any unspeakable secrets, I’m not you.” Liu Tingruo’s tone was teasing. She straightened Jiang Shu’s face to look directly at her and earnestly said, ”But that doesn’t mean you can just peek into my thoughts whenever you want, don’t misuse it casually, or being together will be too boring, with everything going as I think... I don’t like that.”
