Chapter 179: Lumine: Hypnosis...? Is this a proper spell?!

"So, what should I do?"

The moment she agreed, Lumine immediately changed the subject.

"..."

You really are a qualified tool person, thinking all day about how to complete other people's commissions.

Luo Li sighed at Lumine’s self-consciousness and sense of responsibility.

"It's simple for you to get the account book evidence from Kujou Kamaji; you just need to use a small spell."

"A small spell?"

Without waiting for Lumine to continue asking, Luo Li placed his fingertips on her forehead, and a faint light flickered.

Sensing something being transmitted into her mind, Lumine subconsciously closed her eyes and searched carefully.

Before long, she opened her eyes, a look of surprise in them.

"This is... a spell that can hypnotize others into telling the truth?!"

Paimon was very surprised: "There’s actually such an evil spell! You haven't used it on us before, have you?"

The little one was a bit suspicious, because there was a period before when she was a bit sleepy, and she was worried she had already been hit.

Luo Li knocked her on the head in annoyance: "I wouldn't bother using this on you two. If I really wanted to know something, I’d just forcibly read your memories."

"..."

It seemed something incredible had popped out; Paimon shuddered and silently shut her mouth.

Sorry, my horizons were narrow.

Lumine didn't pay attention to Luo Li’s words, her mind entirely focused on the little spell he had just passed to her.

"This method is effective on ordinary people who don't possess elemental control; once it's a Vision holder, the effect is extremely low."

Luo Li gave an explanation in advance, lest she use this method as a panacea in the future.

Lumine subconsciously cast her gaze on Paimon, looking eager to try.

"Hey, what are you doing! You're not allowed to use it on me!"

The little one yelled, covering her eyes and flying around.

Lumine couldn't help but laugh; she was just scaring Paimon to save her from being so arrogant all day.

However, with this thing, she didn't need to make big moves to threaten and blackmail Kujou Kamaji, and could easily learn the evidence of collusion from his mouth without worrying about exposure.

"Besides that, you find Harrison and the others, and I can arrange for them to escape Ritou and go join the resistance."

Lumine suddenly felt the problems she had encountered during this time were solved, as if the clouds had parted and the sun had appeared, and the prospects suddenly became clear.

Sure enough, one still had to look to Mr. Luo Li.

She even wanted to stand up that guy named Thoma and instead let Luo Li help bridge the gap.

Thinking this, she asked, indicating she wanted him to arrange a meeting.

Regrettably, Luo Li refused: "The journey in Inazuma needs to be witnessed by your own eyes, just like in Mondstadt and Liyue; every bit of what happens here will become an important treasure in your journey."

"Forming bonds with strangers you didn't know before, encountering many thrilling events, and then racking your brains to find ways to solve them—you will develop your own unique understanding of this world."

"Do you remember what Barbatos and Morax told you? I hold the same philosophy as them; don't try to take shortcuts. I will only provide you with some small help that doesn't affect the overall situation."

Lumine lowered her eyes in regret; although she always said it was troublesome, as Luo Li said, the journey she had taken so far had indeed made her understand many things.

For example, even though she went to the Kanjou Commission with a purpose, she became good friends with the young lady of the Hiiragi family, Hiiragi Chisato, and learned about her troubles with marriage.

Even though they were in love with the second young master of the Kujou clan, her father, Hiiragi Shinsuke, wanted Chisato to marry the son of another wealthy family.

Troubled by this, Hiiragi Chisato wanted her to take her confession letter to Inazuma City and give it to the second young master of the Kujou clan if she had the chance.

Although she agreed, Lumine couldn't even leave Ritou, so everything was meaningless.

"Alright, I understand. If there are any problems later, I'll come to you for help."

Luo Li: "..."

This girl, could she be treating me like Doraemon?

Not knowing Luo Li’s thoughts, Lumine took Paimon to act immediately, taking the initiative to find them.

With the hypnosis spell that could make people tell the truth, the two acted exceptionally boldly. Because of their previous interactions with the Kanjou Commission, the guards had no doubts about her visiting the injured Kujou Kamaji, and were even flattered.

A distinguished guest of the head of the Hiiragi clan coming to visit, not to mention that in Lumine’s story, she also brought condolences from the young lady, Hiiragi Chisato.

With such a reason, others couldn't find any loopholes.

Thus, Lumine and Paimon entered the place where Kujou Kamaji was recuperating very smoothly and saw him lying on the bed.

To avoid disturbing her, the surrounding guards sensibly retreated, only guarding outside the door.

Lumine had originally considered how to get people to leave, but who knew the guards would be so cooperative, wasting the reason she had prepared in advance.

The depressed blonde girl found everything becoming inexplicably smooth. She had Paimon guard the door, while she came to Kujou Kamaji, who was flattered and trying to climb up.

Without waiting for him to express his gratitude, she directly used the spell Luo Li had given her, spending about a quarter of an hour to finally learn the location of the evidence of his collusion with Werner.

.. ..... 0

This guy was very cunning, actually hiding the things under the base of the Raiden Shogun statue worshipped in his home.

In this way, even if someone suspected him and came to search for evidence, they generally wouldn't dare to touch the Shogun’s statue.

After all, the respect for the Raiden Shogun was engraved in the bones of all the people of Inazuma; who would dare to desecrate it?

Learning the news, seeing Kujou Kamaji’s dull expression, Paimon couldn't help but curse indignantly.

"No wonder his heart is so bad, he doesn't even respect the god of his own country."

Lumine was silent; she had seen all kinds of people along the way, and this one could only be considered medium-evil, barely not reaching the great evil of killing and arson.

Of course, his actions were no different from pushing people to the brink.

"We must punish him severely!" Paimon suggested.

She didn't want to see someone who had committed a major mistake get away with it easily.

Lumine thought carefully for a moment and decided to do as Paimon said.

But just an official, he probably wouldn't dare to act so freely; there must be someone supporting him behind the scenes.

This matter had to be handled from the upper echelons.

"Hiiragi Shinsuke is not very reliable; it's better to seek help from Miss Hiiragi Chisato."

Having made up her mind, Lumine and Paimon prepared to go to Kujou Kamaji’s home to take the evidence and give it to Hiiragi Chisato.
