What a joke! Magical girls, just obediently get hypnotized!

But would a villain care about the life or death of ordinary people?

"Impossible!" Eileen shook her head vehemently in her mind. She would never believe such a thing!

Just as Eileen's patience was about to run out, the guy in front of her finally stopped answering questions with questions and instead said:

"First, I need to correct one point: they are not my companions or subordinates. We are just collaborators. Collaborators with different goals and temporarily aligned interests break up and become enemies. Isn't that a very common thing in your human world?"

He tilted his head.

"These guys' motives are too superficial. For some so-called negative energy, they disregard the situation, use any means necessary, and even do unnecessary things in their plans. This behavior is short-sighted."

His tone carried an undisguised contempt.

"Inefficient and unintelligent, it disgusts me."

"So, what exactly is your purpose?"

Eileen asked, frowning.

"My purpose,"

The villain slowly, with a ritualistic air of declaration, slightly raised one index finger, then gently laid it down:

"It's you."

As the words fell, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

The masked figure slowly rose and stepped forward, exuding a terrifying and suffocating composure and oppressive aura.

"My target is you, Magical Girl Irene!"

He slowly approached, then suddenly grabbed the tip of the ice-blue spear, closing the distance between them. Eileen could even see the fine lines on the mask, feel the breath he exhaled brushing against the hair on her forehead, and felt that she could pierce his throat with the slightest effort.

"I have no interest in ordinary people, nor in eccentric teammates, but I am very interested in you, in all of you, and in magical girls!"

"You are the purpose of all this trouble I've gone to."

Eileen's heart pounded, and almost instinctively, she took a step back, trying to create that suffocating distance.

"pity,"

However, the strange man noticed her retreating movement, abruptly stopped, and then let out a sigh filled with deep disappointment. He suddenly sat back down, his posture returning to its languid state, as if his previous imposing aura had been nothing but an illusion.

"You're too weak, so weak that it's enough to make anyone lose interest."

He counted on his fingers, as if listing defects in a product.

"Lack of experience,"

"Not powerful,"

"Even their so-called willpower is not firm,"

He sighed, and even through the mask, Eileen could sense a stinging pity in his voice as he spoke in a judgmental tone:

"If you're only ever at this level, then you shouldn't be a magical girl. You should go back to school, Eileen, or rather, magical girl Yuwei."

"You! How did you even know that name?!"

Eileen's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and anger. Her arm holding the gun trembled slightly with excitement, and the cold glint of the gun tip flickered.

Do you think I'll tell you everything?

He chuckled softly, a hint of mocking control in his voice.

"But don't worry, I have no plans to tell this secret to anyone else for the time being."

"you!!"

Driven by extreme rage and a hint of fear that her secret had been exposed, Eileen's reason crumbled instantly. Her icy blue magic surged violently around her like out-of-control flames, and her icy blue spear trembled violently as magical energy condensed and dissipated. It seemed that in the next second, it would truly pierce the villain before her!

However, Lynn dispelled the other party's murderous intent with just one sentence:

"A righteous magical girl wouldn't repay kindness with enmity, would she?"

These words were like a needle, precisely piercing through Eileen's boiling rage. Her body stiffened abruptly, and the magic she had gathered receded like a tide, leaving only a cold sense of powerlessness and humiliation. The girl bit her lower lip so hard it almost bled. Finally, filled with resentment and complex emotions, she sheathed her weapon, stared at the villain on the chair for several minutes, as if trying to imprint the villain's appearance and features into her mind. Then, the magical girl Eileen, or rather Ling Yuwei, was once again surrounded by icy blue starlight, but this time the light appeared tired and dim. Using her barely recovered strength, she flew unsteadily and disappeared into the sky.

Phew, finally managed to fool them.

After the magical girl left, Lynn sat back down in his chair. This time, with no one around, he could finally relax and lean back in his chair without having to put on airs.

Of course, he's still very handsome.

Ever since he awakened his hypnotic abilities, he looks incredibly handsome no matter what he does. In other people's eyes, it's like he's wearing a filter, which is a happy kind of trouble.

His roguish handsome looks.

However, before Lynn could even relax for a moment, the voice in his mind rang out again.

[Target detected about to leave the detectable range; first hypnosis attempt is about to fail!]

[Host, what are you doing?!]

Seemingly sensing that the duck in his hand was about to fly away, he stopped installing the system that had been whispering in his mind like an ancient god, telling him to hypnotize magical girls.

I'm in a hurry.JPG

Why didn't you hypnotize her when you had such a good opportunity?!

Hearing this offhand remark from someone who was standing there and talking without understanding the situation, Lynn rolled her eyes.

Was this a good opportunity?

What's better?

Having just experienced a fierce battle, the magical girl woke up to find herself facing a monstrous executive, immediately putting her on high alert and putting her on guard.

It shouldn't be called a good opportunity; it should be the worst possible opportunity for hypnosis!

Moreover, the wave of monsters he just dealt with was not easy for Lynn either.

Group hypnosis magic can directly cause the participants to kill each other.

He looks handsome and relaxed, but that's not actually the case.

The other party is an eccentric, with superhuman mental strength, and the hypnotic behavior is a suicide command with the highest difficulty level.

Did you think it was as simple as a Command Spell causing a Lancer to commit suicide?

Even with the hints implanted beforehand, the most powerful spider monster still regained its senses at the last moment.

However, this is the downside of hypnotic abilities that combine skill, numerical values, and sophistication.

These quick-to-learn techniques are not only costly, but they also easily become ineffective once they truly touch upon the opponent's underlying logic.

If this applies to a few eccentric characters, it goes without saying that it applies to the protagonists who are favored by the will of the world.

Didn't you see that Magical Girl Irene almost leveled up before you even did anything?

If you actually use mild hypnotic magic on someone, let alone control them or develop the plot of your own story, you might even end up hurting yourself. Lynn would think it was all due to the power of his own bad karma.

However, this is also why Lynn chose to use deep hypnosis to deal with the magical girls.

Deep hypnosis magic, which requires a long period of time and physical contact to increase its corrosiveness, has a more complex and troublesome setup, but it also has a stability that other hypnosis magic cannot match.

As for the system complaining about wasting a good opportunity, that's another story.

Lynn simply smiled in response.

"When did you get the idea that I hadn't started hypnosis yet?"

【? 】

A question mark popped up in the system window.

[Kid, are you out of your mind? Forget hypnosis, if this helps you avoid being disliked, I'll eat this chat window for you!]

Lynn simply shook his head at this.

Superficial fellow.

[Hypnotic imprinting has been successfully implanted!]

Look, here they come.

..............

On the other side, the magical girl Irene, flying in mid-air, was still replaying the scene in her mind.

At first, it was a post-battle summary of battles, lessons learned, and the abilities of the monsters, but soon it was gradually taken over by a guy with a strange mask, elegant manners, and a dangerous aura.

It was that strange, villainous executive, Hypnotist, who had never laid a hand on him from beginning to end, and had even helped him instead.

Of course, I dislike them. After all, they're weirdos. Not only are they inexplicable, but they also say things that go too far, and... they even know my true identity.

But there was also gratitude. After all, the other party had saved her. Moreover, from another perspective, he had resolved the actions of the Spider Monster and his group, which not only made Eileen feel relieved, but also showed that he was not a monster who liked to destroy the happiness of ordinary people.

This gave Irene, the magical girl whose will was to protect, a sense of relief.

So complex, so cunning, so elegant, so terrifying—that was the impression the villainous Hypnotist left on Eileen during their first meeting.

"Really,"

The magical girl pursed her thin lips.

“Strange guy........”

"And they even said I was weak or something,"

Her gaze suddenly hardened, gleaming with an indomitable spirit.

"Then I'll become stronger, and then I'll defeat you, just to show you!"

Having solidified her beliefs, the magical girl, with ice-blue starlight swaying behind her, flew towards the horizon like Ultraman after a battle.

Unbeknownst to her, beneath her elegant and form-fitting battle attire, roughly at the thigh, an inconspicuous mark was subtly taking shape and emitting light.

Inside the small park, Lynn was sitting leisurely, tapping her fingertips lightly on the armrest, looking at the system panel in front of her, smiling without saying a word.

.........

The first step in so-called deep hypnosis magic is to implant a sufficiently powerful impression into the other person's mind, which is the starting point of the invasion.

Without a good starting point, no matter how much you urge, it won't make much difference.

Just like no matter how much a girl sucks, she won't develop X-shaped breasts.

Conversely, a good starting point for imprinting can make things much easier, but once the impression declines, the progress of hypnosis will also decrease, and there is even a possibility of direct failure and backlash.

Lynn did not choose to implant "evil" as the initial impression. Firstly, although this method may be effective in the short term, it would make subsequent hypnosis extremely difficult.

How can someone like someone they hate?

No one will lower their guard around an annoying person.

Not to mention that magical girls inherently despise all villains. Even if they hate themselves the most today, they might hate other villainous monsters after a battle tomorrow, so it's completely meaningless.

Not to mention going against the darlings of the world's will—isn't that exactly the original plot?!

This is considered standard behavior when turning on a light in a restroom.

Lynn did not choose to implant "love" as the initial impression, and the meaning of this one is even more ambiguous.

You think a villain would make a magical girl like you after just one meeting?

This indicates a loss of mental consciousness.

Xiao Chunan has thought a lot about the dojo.

He'll still be a slut when he grows up.

Therefore, after eliminating the two most common and memorable impressions, Lynn had to choose a third "first" impression as the starting point for Eileen's imprint.

Rescuing the magical girl, killing the spider demon, putting her under intense pressure and then letting her go—it's all for this purpose.

Because the first impression and starting point that Lynn chose to implant in the magical girl Irene was curiosity.

As a philosopher once wisely said, the moment you become curious about someone of the opposite sex, you've already lost.

Of course, the most important thing is to make the other party owe you a favor.

She's a magical girl, but she was saved by a villain. It would be a shame not to make good use of her.

Long paragraphs of text kept popping up:

Congratulations! The hypnotic imprint has been implanted!
