At the time, they must have mistaken you for a mental patient who suddenly awakened a Forbidden Domain.
They were in such a rush to bring you back to check your mental state and decide whether to lock you in the Fasting Institute.
Your card should still be at Sunshine Mental Hospital.” Wen Qimo gave the answer quickly, but his expression was strange.
There are actually people nowadays who are so unconcerned about their own property.
If ordinary people lost all their assets, they would have been jumping up and down long ago.
Luciel actually took nearly a month to remember; the way mental patients think is indeed very strange.
“Looks like I have to go out.
Lend me some pocket money; I’m going to retrieve my entire fortune.” Luciel reached out for money very naturally.
Wen Qimo had a subtle sense of deja vu; it was just like the pair of brothers next door, where the younger brother asked the older brother for money, but at least they had blood ties.
“You should at least be a bit polite.” Wen Qimo complained while pulling a red bill from his pocket and handing it to Luciel.
“We’re close, aren’t we?
I’ll pay you back later.” Luciel took the money, waved at Wen Qimo, and left.
He didn’t bother to get change and took a taxi straight to Sunshine Mental Hospital.
Seeing the towering iron bars and the electric fence on top for the second time, he had to wonder if this place was a hospital or some kind of prison.
“Hey, what are you doing here?
Don’t loiter in front of the mental hospital if you have nothing to do!” The security guard, very dutifully, intended to tell him to go play elsewhere.
As for the result?
The Swindler potion digested a little.
A Swindler with affinity, charm, and extraordinary eloquence easily gains the trust of others.
Luciel claimed to be a family member of a discharged patient who had left something behind, and he walked right in.
The mental resistance of ordinary people is really low.
Luciel didn’t even use Thought Misdirection; just polite behavior and a few seemingly sincere words successfully confused an adult male.
Perhaps it was also because ordinary people don’t usually run to mental hospitals; after all, it’s not a vault, and you can’t just carry the patients out to sell them.
So, with a seemingly sincere reason, the security guard wouldn’t block him too much.
However, this counts as deceiving a security guard, causing him to fail in his job—a selfish deception.
Even if it’s just an ordinary person, it provides a perceptible digestion for the Swindler potion.
It seems he needs to work hard on deceiving more people.
The Cryptologist’s abilities are still quite good, enhancing observation, association, and deduction abilities, and also providing an additional boost to Exceptional Observation.
The bonuses of this Sequence are almost entirely focused on decryption; the improvement to observation ability is quite strong.
Luciel entered the mental hospital with a smile, following the route in his memory, and walked back to the office of the doctor who had been terrified by him earlier.
He knocked on the door, and an old male voice sounded.
“Please come in.” As the door was pushed open by Luciel, the doctor, who was flipping through some documents, looked up, and the two completed a fateful eye contact.
The doctor had a fresh memory of this face.
After all, it’s not uncommon for mental patients to pose a threat to others, but as the culprit who caused the previous scare, this face wouldn’t be forgotten by the doctor anytime soon.
The doctor didn’t even think; with quick hands, he pressed the alarm button, while he himself tried his best to appear kind and amiable.
“Ah, young man, you’ve come again.
What’s wrong this time?” Luciel glanced inadvertently at the position of the button hidden under the table, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Anyway, he was now in a protected state of “has a mental illness, but the authorities guarantee he won’t hurt anyone, can move around outside, and cannot be arrested.” “I’m not feeling uncomfortable anywhere.” Luciel looked straight into the doctor’s eyes, appearing shy.
“My psychological pressure was too high at the time, and I said some nonsense.
After these days of rest, I’m almost better.
I came this time to retrieve the documents and bank card that the hospital took from me before.
They still belong to me, right?” Luciel sat on the chair in front of the doctor, somewhat reserved, his hands nervously fiddling with the corner of his clothes, appearing innocent and harmless.
Under the influence of extraordinary charm, the tension in the doctor’s heart was quickly relaxed; he could even wave his hand to the security guards rushing to the door, indicating that there was no problem inside.
After the security guards closed the door, the doctor still didn’t feel nervous about being in the same room with a mental patient; instead, he felt that the child was quite nice during the continuous chat.
Luciel kept observing some of the doctor’s small movements, which allowed him to grasp some basic conditions of the doctor’s psychology.
Although it wasn’t to the meticulous level of a Spectator, combined with some small movements and knowledge about psychology read as a Reader, Luciel could already achieve a soothing effect on others through language.
At the same time, Luciel began to guide the doctor’s behavior bit by bit, gently pushing away the suggestion of hospitalization observation provided by the doctor, while thanking him for his kindness.
He made the doctor happily explain where the items were kept, issue him a certificate stating he had no mental problems, and finally wave goodbye with a smile.
Until Luciel’s figure disappeared, the old doctor still felt in a good mood, until he remembered that mental certificates shouldn’t be issued randomly.
Doctor: Not smiling anymore After Luciel got the certificate, he went straight to retrieve his things.
As for what kind of inner journey the doctor would have after issuing the certificate randomly, it didn’t have much to do with him.
Anyway, he certainly wouldn’t report it; if nothing unexpected happens, he wouldn’t be causing trouble during this time, and he definitely wouldn’t let this kind-hearted doctor’s later years be ruined.
However, as a small price for locking himself in the mental hospital, let’s scare him a bit.
Luciel thought while tossing the rental house key that hadn’t been returned yet.
Anyway, that room should still have some days until the lease expires, so he wasn’t in a hurry to return the key.
Well, although the original owner didn’t leave anything valuable, but thinking about it, Luciel still planned to go back to that house to see if there was anything valuable.
After all, it was left by the original owner of this body; maybe there was something very important to him.
Whether it’s hypocritical or pretentious, Luciel is still very interested in collecting these meaningful items, even if they aren’t his.
It doesn’t matter.
Even if there is a disharmony in fate, just wait until the Sequence is higher in the future and try to smooth out those disharmonies.
And as long as the connection of fate is completed, it is no different from the Trojan Horse of Destiny stealing fate or the Fool grafting fate.
The past life of this body is his life, and it’s better not to lose the important souvenirs of one’s own life.
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
