System, You Didn't Say the Villain Can Read Minds! - Chapter 28

Chapter 28

◎Hurry Up and Say Something, You Mute!◎

Why join the Ability Users Alliance?

Mo Jiu had told Yun Wenzhou: “Our supplies are running low, and we need to join a gathering point to restock. Ye Lan is in the City of Hope, so to be safe, let’s go to the Ability Users Alliance.”

Yun Wenzhou had no objection: “Whatever Sister decides is fine. I’ll listen to Sister entirely.”

“However, the Ability Users Alliance doesn’t have a good reputation,” Mo Jiu reminded Yun Wenzhou. “The people there are quite extreme, and it’s easy to encounter scoundrels. We need to be careful.”

“Why?” Yun Wenzhou was curious.

“The Ability Users Alliance has more men than women. They advocate for killing all ordinary people. Simply put, they don’t treat ordinary people as human. Do you think they would treat women as human?”

“I see.” Yun Wenzhou curved her lips. “That’s good. That way, we don’t have to treat them as human either.”

Mo Jiu: “…”

‘Something feels wrong… yet it also feels right?’

‘Forget it. With me here, nothing serious should happen.’

Before arriving at the Ability Users Alliance, Mo Jiu’s mind was filled with thoughts of stopping Yun Wenzhou from acting recklessly.

She hadn’t expected that the one to strike first upon arrival would actually be herself.

She had no choice. Who told these people to be such animals?

Since they believed they could do whatever they wanted without law and order, then she would show them what true recklessness was!

After Mo Jiu released her control over the four men, they immediately fell to the ground, howling.

“How dare you…”

“Goddess of the Star-Moon, save me!”

Mo Jiu sneered: “So disrespectful to women, and yet you have the nerve to pray to a Goddess?”

‘If the Goddesses truly exist, they would only complain that we didn’t hit them hard enough, right?’

The four men’s agonizing screams were too loud, quickly drawing a crowd.

“What’s going on?”

“What happened?”

The person leading the crowd looked at Mo Jiu and Yun Wenzhou’s faces for a moment before turning his attention to the four men on the ground.

The four men writhed on the ground in terror. Blood stained their lower bodies. Four blood-stained murder weapons hung brightly in the air, like a scorpion’s raised tail, ready to sting the next target at any moment.

One of them met his gaze and quickly begged him for help: “Boss, save me! These two women are crazy! Kill them!”

‘Kill two beauties? You’re the one who’s crazy!’

The man called the Boss didn’t respond to him. Instead, he walked about three meters away from Mo Jiu and Yun Wenzhou. After getting their attention, he elegantly bowed to the two women: “Two beautiful and noble ladies, did they offend you? Tell me, and I’ll see justice done for you.”

“Who are you?” Mo Jiu looked at him warily.

Yun Wenzhou raised her hand, aiming the tips of the four knives at him, ready to strike at any moment.

“My name is Sima Xiu Luo. I’m the leader of the Xiu Luo Gang,” the man introduced himself. “The Xiu Luo Gang is one of the largest gangs in the Alliance. Here, as long as you mention my name, Sima Xiu Luo, no one will dare to bully you.”

Mo Jiu thought to herself: ‘So that’s what the ‘Alliance’ means?’

‘I thought it was an alliance between ability users, but it turns out to be an alliance between small ability user groups?’

The four men on the ground felt their hearts sink.

“Boss, you…”

‘Why are you helping outsiders! Aren’t we members of the Xiu Luo Gang!’

However, before they could finish their sentence, the man raised his hand, and a ball of fire slammed into their bodies.

Just like that, the latter half of their sentence turned into agonizing screams!

Seeing this, Mo Jiu couldn’t help but inwardly gasp.

‘Wow, we were just helping them get rid of their lust, but you’re actually taking their lives?’

Yun Wenzhou, on the other hand, felt that letting these four people die by fire was too easy for them.

However, they had murderous intent toward her sister and herself, so their death was deserved.

Only…

‘I must look super cool, right? Did they fall in love with me?’—The man’s greasy inner voice made Yun Wenzhou unable to withdraw the flying knives pointing at him. She wished she could castrate him too.

“See justice done for us? Are you worthy?” Yun Wenzhou couldn’t help but retort.

Pretending to be righteous, but in the end, isn’t it all for that one thing?

After being rebuffed, the man was extremely annoyed: ‘You d*mn slut! When night falls, I’ll make you beg for mercy through tears!’

But he showed absolutely nothing on his face, replying with a smile: “Mhm, you’re right. You don’t need my help; you solved the problem yourselves… Are you here to join the Ability Users Alliance? I apologize for leaving you with a bad impression. Please believe me, not everyone here is like this.”

“Hard to say,” Yun Wenzhou gave no quarter.

Mo Jiu, after thinking for a moment, tentatively asked him: “Does the Ability Users Alliance have an Alliance Leader? Like a City Lord?”

“There is… Do you want to meet the Alliance Leader?” Sima Xiu Luo hesitated. “The Alliance Leader is not that easy to see, but if you wish to, I can introduce you.”

‘Are you kidding? If you meet the Alliance Leader, what will be left for me? I have to find a way to keep you in the Xiu Luo Gang!’

Mo Jiu didn’t know his thoughts. Seeing that his attitude was somewhat agreeable, she agreed: “Alright, then we’ll trouble you.”

Yun Wenzhou looked like she wanted to speak but finally decided to wait and see.

She made the flying knives spin at high speed, shaking off the blood, then took them back and carefully wiped them with a disinfecting wipe.

The two followed Sima Xiu Luo toward the Xiu Luo Gang’s territory. The surrounding people either followed or dispersed.

No one cared about the four bodies on the ground, which were already burned to charcoal.

The Xiu Luo Gang’s territory was centered around a hotel. Sima Xiu Luo personally chose a room for Mo Jiu and Yun Wenzhou and arranged for them to stay there. He claimed to have sent someone to request an audience with the Alliance Leader, but what he was thinking was—

‘I must find a way to suppress the news of their joining the Xiu Luo Gang. If the Alliance Leader finds out, let alone a piece of meat, I might not even get a bone!’

Heaven knows how much psychological suggestion Yun Wenzhou put on herself not to kill him on the spot.

Finally, the man left. Yun Wenzhou kicked the wall next to the door, leaving a gray footprint on the pristine white wall.

Mo Jiu looked at her action, tilting her head in confusion: “What are you doing?”

“I hate him,” Yun Wenzhou expressed her feelings directly.

She couldn’t repeat the man’s inner voice to Mo Jiu, so she could only list all her reasons for annoyance as much as possible.

“He’s smiling so sickeningly. He’s definitely up to no good.”

“Those four beasts asked him for help, and he killed them without even asking a question.”

“Although they deserved to die, he could even kill people he knew, so he would have no psychological burden in killing us.”

“He agreed to help us meet the Alliance Leader without knowing anything about us. If I were the Alliance Leader, I would kill him!”

Yun Wenzhou vented against the wall the entire time. Mo Jiu watched her, finding her excessively adorable.

“I can tell how much you hate him, but why didn’t you say these things just now?” Mo Jiu asked while walking behind her.

Yun Wenzhou leaned against the wall with one hand, guiltily glancing away: “I didn’t know what Sister was thinking. I was afraid of disrupting Sister’s plan…”

—The truth was that she was afraid of exposing her mind-reading ability.

Mo Jiu raised one hand and placed it on Yun Wenzhou’s head, stroking her soft, smooth black hair: “Mhm, for me, it doesn’t matter where we stay. Anyway, I never planned to trust anyone except you from the start.”

‘Wuwuwu, my Xiaozhou has matured. I’m so relieved!’

Yun Wenzhou: “…”

What do you mean? Was I very immature before?

“If he really takes us to see the Alliance Leader, we’ll owe him a favor. If he deceives us, we’ll make him pay the price. As the saying goes, ‘meet obstacles with measures,’ there’s nothing to worry about,” Mo Jiu said, turning to walk toward the coffee table.

Just as she was about to sit down, Yun Wenzhou turned and took a step, hugging her waist from behind: “Sister, if, I mean if, he breaks in tonight wanting to harm Sister, and I chase him out and kill him, but everyone says he never entered our room, would Sister believe them, or believe me?”

Mo Jiu: “…”

‘Do you want to sneak out and kill him tonight? Why? He hasn’t done anything yet, has he…’

It wasn’t Mo Jiu’s fault for thinking this way. After all, Yun Wenzhou was the villain in the original book and had no psychological burden when it came to killing.

Yun Wenzhou’s eyes dimmed slightly, but she still held Mo Jiu’s waist and didn’t let go.

Not until Mo Jiu responded with: “If something like that really happens, you wake me up first. I can immediately freeze him, so he won’t be able to escape.”

Yun Wenzhou pursed her lips: “You mean Sister doesn’t believe me?”

Mo Jiu: “…How could you think that?”

‘I’m busted. But… making an assumption like that so suddenly is really suspicious, isn’t it?’

“Even if I promise Sister that I won’t kill any innocent person, Sister still won’t believe me?” Yun Wenzhou released Mo Jiu’s waist and lowered her head in disappointment.

Mo Jiu was silent.

‘Hurry up and say something, you mute! Where’s your acting? Where’s your twenty years of professional lying skill?’

“Okay, I understand,” Yun Wenzhou said gloomily. She walked over to the bed and lay down with her back to Mo Jiu.

Sister doesn’t believe her. This is a fact. No matter how much she tries to coax her with words, she can’t reverse this fact.

Yun Wenzhou felt very wronged. She had spent more than ten years with her sister, constantly seeing her. She had only directly killed three people, and they all deserved to die.

Why would Sister think she would kill indiscriminately?

She clearly dislikes the color red so much.

Mo Jiu knew she had hurt Yun Wenzhou’s feelings and instinctively wanted to comfort her, but…

Keeping her distance from Yun Wenzhou, wasn’t that what she had always wanted to do?

She had finally achieved it, so why did it feel so bad?

Mo Jiu: System, do you think Xiaozhou is serious or is she lying to me?

System: I don’t know. I only know that the original book’s villain killed many innocent people.

Mo Jiu: The original book’s villain is the original book’s villain. Xiaozhou is Xiaozhou.

System: I know. That’s why my answer is “I don’t know.”

Mo Jiu: Is she very sad right now? The sister she trusted so much doesn’t believe her…

System: I don’t know.

Mo Jiu: What do you think I should do? Should I choose to believe her to soothe her emotions, or should I just ignore it? The main thing is, she hasn’t actively killed any innocent people yet, which is why I have a chance to whitewash her. What if I say I believe her, and she becomes emboldened and really sneaks out to kill tonight?

System: …

System: System analysis in progress…

The System analyzed and analyzed until it disappeared, and no matter what Mo Jiu said, it didn’t respond again.

Mo Jiu was so angry that she mentally cursed “Artificial Idiot” three times, then peeked at Yun Wenzhou on the bed.

‘Sigh… what should I do? Actually, no matter what she does, I can’t possibly abandon her.’

‘But I can’t let her know that.’
