Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1150 Stairs
The two finally entered the room. As the door closed and the latch clicked shut, a brief silence fell over the room.

Xia Shou's mind raced. He immediately realized a crucial point: this time, things would definitely not go smoothly and effortlessly, because Su Yue, considering her image as a chaste woman, would never compromise.

So... we have no choice but to force it.

So how to force himself on her is another skill. Although his superpowers are now sealed, he can definitely suppress Xiaoyue with his hand-to-hand combat ability, and Xiaoyue certainly won't seriously resist. But it's still too brutal.

Xia Shou looked around the room. Although it was the same room number 404 as last time, the decoration had changed. Not far away was still a misty hot spring, and there were many restraint props hanging on the wall.

Where the piano was previously placed, a stage for bar performances and singing has been added this time, with a microphone stand in the center, seemingly welcoming people to go up and sing a few lines.

As for the bedside table, a miniature umbrella bag and various sex toys were placed openly and honestly, as if all that was missing was a sign saying "Please use these".

Xia Shou walked to the bedside, picked up the manual on the bedside table, flipped through a few pages at random, and said, "It seems... it seems that we can't leave here without doing this. It seems to be the rule of this anomaly."

“There must be other ways to leave,” Su Yue said seriously, then began to walk around the room, looking at the windows and doors as if she were studying them.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to investigate. It seems I haven't been able to use my powers since I came in here, and I'm completely clueless about these kinds of anomalies. I can only trouble you, the professional, for help."

However, if you can't think of a solution, I'm always ready to help. After all, it's always an advantage for men in this kind of situation. Of course, I absolutely don't mean to offend you, but this is probably the only way." Xia Shou casually sat down on a chair, coldly watching Su Yue seriously explore the room.

He was actually starting to get a headache too.

If we were to use a performance to describe their current situation, it would be that their persona and the ideal storyline are in serious conflict.

First of all, Su Yue would never give up her pure and conservative image. However, if he chose to force himself on her, Su Yue would have to put on a defiant face of "I'd rather die than submit" later on, which Xia Shou also felt would be very unpleasant.

Ideally, there would be a gradual, soothing approach, like slowly boiling a frog, so that Su Yue could fall for him step by step in a plausible and reasonable way.

Ten minutes passed, and Su Yue really kept walking around without stopping for a moment, showing no intention of interacting with him at all.

Xia Shou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his impatience, and began to reorganize his thoughts to find a way to break the deadlock.

The key to breaking the deadlock lies in forcing Xiaoyue to compromise and submit to him. The reason for this compromise doesn't necessarily have to be true; it doesn't matter if Xiaoyue herself knows it's fake.

Because she is now trapped not by her own will, but by her public persona, she needs a way out, a reason to act in accordance with her public persona.

Following this line of reasoning, the most important thing right now is to analyze what Su Yue's current persona is trying to express.
In other words, what is the essence of this persona?
Now he is both an audience member and an actor, and Su Yue wants to convey two main emotions to him as an audience member.

First: Be principled and not arbitrary.

Second: He has someone he likes, and that person is Natsumori.

In this way, as long as these two prerequisites are met, a stepping stone can be created for Su Yue to cross the line.

"You just said you're from the Control Bureau? Before I came in, I heard there was a very dangerous anomaly at the museum. Don't you have a 'Witch's Trump Card' in your bureau? Apparently, he was swept into another dimension while protecting civilians," Xia Shou casually made up. Upon hearing this, Su Yue was stunned. Her brain raced as she analyzed the information behind that short sentence.

Why did Xia Shou lie?

I see. You wanted to test your place in my heart, so you deliberately fabricated a story about being in danger to see if I would get worried.

After finishing her analysis, Su Yue suddenly looked up, her eyes wide, staring at Xia Shou in disbelief.

"What did you say?! What did you say that person was called?"

The intense, rapid, and incredibly realistic reaction startled Xia Shou, who was already mentally prepared. For the first time, he had such a profound understanding of the description of "being unable to keep up with the performance."

He had always thought that actors who couldn't keep up with their roles in movies were bad actors, but when Su Yue did it like that, he realized that overly realistic acting could make a person instantly detach from the current state of the role.

Xia Shou almost thought he had actually been drawn into some other dimension.

Is this Xiaoyue's acting? No wonder those film critics said she would be a future Best Actress. Who wouldn't be confused by this acting?

"Um... well, he's called the Witch's trump card. What, judging from your reaction, you're quite familiar with him?" Xia Shou touched his nose, but his fingers awkwardly touched his own mask.

Su Yue ignored him and lowered her head, lost in thought.

She stood there, her expression incredibly complex, perfectly conveying her inner turmoil, worry, fear, and even a hint of self-deceptive comfort.

Xia Shou even wondered if he had made a mistake at first, and if the other party hadn't recognized him as Xia Shou and really thought he was still outside.

If Xia Shou hadn't known that Su Yue was Yun Xiao, and hadn't seen Su Yue greeting the manager earlier and been certain that she knew exactly what was going on, he would have been fooled by her acting skills.

"No, Brother Xia Shou is very strong, he'll be fine," Su Yue murmured softly to herself.

Xia Shou felt the pressure mounting, thinking to himself that this was enough; he was starting to feel overwhelmed.

Although he thought this way, Xia Shou still forced himself to say, "I heard that he was originally fine, but in order to rescue the other cleanup crew, he fought against the abnormal entity alone, and that's when he was pulled in."

"We have to find a way to get out of here right away." Su Yue clenched her fist, grunted, and slammed her fist against the wall. Then she quickly walked to the bedside, picked up the booklet, and began to read.

"So... as long as the body's desires are satisfied, you can leave here. In that case... hey, what's your name?" Su Yue turned her head and looked at him with a complicated expression, as if she were looking at a hated enemy.

"You can just call me Ultraman. I don't like revealing my real name." Xia Shou quickly avoided Su Yue's gaze and adjusted his mindset.
