Chapter 83 The Drawbacks of Mind Reading [Please Subscribe]

Mo Yu's plan succeeded.

Herobella's attitude has changed significantly.

She was no longer taciturn; instead, she became talkative and full of curiosity about the unknown. Faced with Mo Yu's probing questions, she no longer remained silent but responded in various different ways.

After he gained the squid's approval, Herobella asked, "Where are you from?"

"I am a wanderer from the Kamada Empire. While exploring an ancient ruin, I accidentally triggered a mechanism and woke up here."

Mo Yu used this argument, adding in his mind:

"I think I've traveled to another world. This isn't Earth. How am I supposed to explain this? Will they arrest me as a spy or something...?"

When he did this, Herobella didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she gave him a sweet smile, revealing a hint of cunning.

This is the drawback of mind reading.

Those with special abilities tend to overly trust the information they read, even subconsciously ignoring inconsistencies and choosing to believe that the person is a time traveler.

Hailbella, completely unaware of the truth, still believed she possessed Mo Yu's 'secret' and displayed intense curiosity towards him. She didn't even bother choosing any other humans, immediately ordering the convoy to return to the city, and beckoned to Mo Yu, saying, "Mo Yu, get in the car."

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of a group of sea creatures, Mo Yu boarded the carriage.

The carriage smelled wonderful.

In a physical sense.

It's a very refreshing scent with a hint of minty spice. It's a unique fragrance that Herobella carries. I had only caught a faint whiff of it before, but once I boarded the carriage and entered the small space, the scent became very strong.

The interior of the carriage was very luxurious, even containing a soft sleeper, a small round table in the center, and seating areas around it.

Herobella climbed onto the soft sleeper, placing her smooth legs to the side. Under Mo Yu's gaze, those beautiful legs began to transform, merging together to become a slender, slippery fishtail.

Inside the carriage was a little red-haired girl, also a mermaid, a second-stage evolved form. In contrast, she treated Mo Yu very poorly; as soon as he entered, she glared at him with wide eyes, looking at him with a cute but fierce expression.

"Sit down, don't be shy. She is my personal maid, her name is Hena."

Herobella was very kind and friendly. She gestured for Mo Yu to sit across the round table.

The carriage started moving smoothly; apart from inertia, you couldn't feel it moving at all.

The red-haired little girl remotely controlled the teapot and teacup, pouring Mo Yu a cup of blue tea. It looked strange, smelled wonderful, and tasted sweet and cloying, with a unique, viscous texture, like a white fungus and lotus seed soup.

Herobella asked curiously, "Could you tell me what the Kamada Empire is like? How did you live before? And why do you have such great strength?"

"That's a long story, let me tell you... oops... let me tell you."

Mo Yu activated his lying mode. When he couldn't continue his story and got stuck, he would discuss with the two mermaids, under their shocked gazes, how to make the story more plausible. Then he would rewind and tell the two mermaids what he had told them.

The two mermaids nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Herobella exclaimed, "This is pretty much the other world I imagined."

Mo Yu feigned nervousness and asked, "What other world?"

Herobella covered her mouth and chuckled, "I know you're not from this world."

“This…” Mo Yu scratched his head and grinned sheepishly.

Suddenly, Herobella said, "Sing me a song, I want to hear the melody of another world."

Mo Yu fell into deep thought.

Does the mermaid want to hear a song?
Let's play "Bubble" then.

He cleared his throat and opened his mouth to howl.

A minute later, he was pinned down, and two mermaids covered his mouth tightly, their faces contorted in tears, shaking their heads violently, pleading, "Stop singing! Please... stop singing..."

Mo Yu stammered, unable to make a sound. He nodded helplessly, and only then did the two mermaids let go.

He pressed on, unwilling to give up, "Why won't you let me sing? Isn't the song good?"

“It’s not a problem with the song… I know the melody, I’ll sing it.”

Helena answered weakly, having heard the original lyrics from Mo Yu through telepathy. After memorizing them, she cleared her throat and began to sing. A melodious voice rang out.

As expected of a mermaid, her voice is impeccable and incredibly beautiful.

Mo Yu was completely captivated.

The song ended.

Mo Yu: "Your Highness, I'll sing you another song!"

“No!”*2
The two mermaids shouted it out together, determined not to let Mo Yu speak.

Helena said, "Write down the lyrics, and I'll sing them for you."

Hina fetched paper and pen.

Whenever Mo Yu writes a song, Helena Bella can sing it in its entirety.

Mo Yu feigned shock.

Three songs by a queen.

Hena reminded her, "Your Highness, we'll be there soon."

"Huh? So fast?" Herobella looked out the window, still somewhat unsatisfied. She put away the three lyrics and returned to the main topic, saying to Mo Yu, "A Royal Guard Knight cannot be directly appointed, otherwise it will not be convincing. You must complete three tasks to prove your abilities to everyone."

"I am willing to serve you." Mo Yu placed one hand on his chest and lowered his head.

Helena nodded: "There's a ball tonight, and you might need to do a few things. Make a good impression. Hena, arrange his identity, accommodation, and clothes. We'll set off for the Golden Pearl after dark."

"Yes!"

Hina lowered her head and answered crisply.

The carriage arrived at the station.

Heidi took Moyu to register her identity and assign her a room for temporary accommodation. This time, the treatment was noticeably different from before—better and more formal.

Previously, they simply locked him up.

Precognition is much easier to control than rewind; it's clear that Herobella trusts him completely.

Follow Heidi to a room where basic information is recorded, including a scan with a device. Height, age, weight, and whether or not someone is married are all recorded.

The squid and shellfish were not watching.

He asked Heidi if he could leave the building to go out and explore at any time, but Heina warned him not to do so, as this was a sea creature city where humans were not allowed to move around outside on their own and a member of the sea creatures was required to be present.

Mo Yu going out alone will cause trouble.

After thinking for a moment, he simply asked for a computer. With Haina's help, he quickly learned how to use it and started surfing the internet to gather information.

The first piece of information he searched was...

Husky.

No.

Search dog.

The results showed introductions to dogs, but searching short video platforms yielded nothing unusual in the trending sections. Even with network coverage, there was still no information about Alpha. Perhaps... Alpha is currently adrift in the sea or wandering on a deserted island.

The afternoon flew by, and he stayed online the whole time without leaving.

As the sun sets in the west, it paints the sky orange-red.

There was a knock on the door.

Mo Yu responded and got up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Haina, the little girl holding a set of clothes. She pushed it forcefully to him, saying, "Put on this outfit. You'd better behave well tonight."
