He had been discovered, but it didn't seem strange.
Since Eddie could make the statue have the ability to affect other people's senses, then he either had an extremely large range of abilities, or he had a strength that Gao Qi didn't understand, such as an A-rank ability user.
Gao Qi had never come into contact with an A-rank spirit ability user, and spirit ability users were the most special type, so Gao Qi didn't know the specifics.
However, what Gao Qi knew was the essence of how mental abilities worked.
That was why a voice suddenly sounded in his ears, but Gao Qi knew that his ears didn't hear anything. The voice was an illusion, and his brain was directly affected. Someone was communicating with him mentally from a distance, just like how the Lord of Arctic Frost could communicate with him from thousands of miles away.
"Oh, I'm not doing anything. I'm just playing."
Gao Qi chose to respond, but his response wasn't very proper.
Therefore, Eddie Beddle's response also began to be improper.
"Then you're the leader of the Wasteland Army, Han Fei? What are you doing here? To kill me? It's very possible that the four of you suddenly appeared here, and I didn't even know how you got here. "
Eddie Beddle didn't know what Gao Qi was doing, but driven by curiosity, he took the initiative to ask.
Absolute confidence, and absolute confidence came from absolute strength. Obviously, Eddie Beddle could have silently observed Gao Qi, but he wanted to ask him personally.
Gao Qi didn't panic after being discovered as an infiltrator. On the contrary, he was glad that Eddie was only curious and let him complete the magic array.
He didn't have to worry about Eddie being able to detect other people's thoughts. He didn't have that ability, but Han Ruofeng did.
Gao Qi firmly believed that spirit ability users had a unique ability. Therefore, since he knew that Han Ruofeng could detect other people's thoughts, then Eddie definitely couldn't. Therefore, this was just a spiritual communication, just like how the Lord of Arctic Frost could do.
However, this also meant that Eddie Beddle's ability was similar to a divine beast, or close to one.
How lucky was the City of Sin to have a divine beast level spirit ability user?
Or rather, how unlucky was the City of Sin to have a divine beast level spirit ability user?
"Since you've discovered me, then I'll be frank. I'm here to investigate your city and your army's defenses. I'm also here to take a stroll."
So what if he discovered me? He was just making things up. Fortunately, the magic array was about to be completed.
"You're very strange. I don't know how you came in, but you look very funny. My intuition told me to stop you, but I really want to see what you want to do."
Gao Qi looked at Niu Lidong and Anna. Anna's face was full of panic. She subconsciously held the scabbard in her hand, while Niu Lidong was staring blankly at the bronze statue.
Anna could still move, but Niu Lidong should have been completely controlled or influenced. Gao Qi looked back at Chuck and saw that Chuck was also in a daze. He was even drooling.
He didn't have complete control over the body and make people act against their will. Eddie's ability should be to confuse people's senses. Most importantly, he should be able to bewitch people's minds.
Bewitching people's minds was different from forcing people to speak the truth. Eddie's ability should be similar to a preacher's. He could make people agree with his ideas and obey his will. Thus, people were willing to be controlled by him.
That was why slavery in the City of Sin was promoted so quickly.
Finally, Gao Qi completed the last step of the magic array. Now, he only needed to place the six energy cores in the right place and activate the teleportation array. Then, the people waiting at the other end of the teleportation array would instantly appear here.
But should he activate the teleportation array?
Based on the current situation, if he activated the teleportation array and teleported everyone here, he would only be influenced and controlled by Eddie's ability.
His helper could very well become his opponent, so teleporting people here was obviously not a good choice. So, what should he do in this situation?
According to Gao Qi's experience and knowledge, under normal circumstances, this was the time to use the power of his mouth.
"Hi, how are you? You must be the City of Sin's City Lord. It's like this, you must have noticed that I'm a psychic, but I also noticed that you're a psychic too, and obviously a psychic one."
Gao Qi acted as if he was chatting casually, but Eddie also said casually, "Yes, I'm a psychic. Since you found out, should I kill you?"
"No, I surrender."
"Surrender?"
"Yes, I surrender. I'm the leader of the Wasteland Army, but I didn't lead the slaves to fight you for freedom and peace. I established the Wasteland Army and freed the slaves because that was the only way to make the slaves obey me. But if you're willing to accept my surrender and let me be a slave owner in the City of Sin, then … I don't mind turning the Wasteland Army into slaves again."
"Hahaha, this is really funny. You want to be a slave owner?"
"Why not? You don't really think that I'm pursuing peace and love, do you? Please, as a psychic, enslaving a lot of people is what I should do. Of course, I originally wanted to be the boss, after I kill you, I'll be the boss. But please, now that I know that you're a psychic, and a very powerful one at that, it's obvious that I'm not your opponent. Since that's the case, I have to know who's the boss, so I have no qualms about surrendering. "
"What if I don't agree?"
Gao Qi was silent for a moment, then he said bitterly, "Then I'll have to try to escape. If I can't escape … Uh, boss, please, consider accepting my surrender. You can save a lot of trouble. My request is very simple. Let me live in the City of Sin and have a few thousand slaves. I don't want to keep the army. Of course, it would be best if you let me be the deputy city lord, but I don't ask for that."
"You're very interesting. I can let you live, but are you willing to be my slave?"
"I want to be a slave owner, not a slave. It's hard for me to accept being a slave."
"You're only my slave, and I'll give you a lot of slaves."
Gao Qi hesitated for a moment, then said, "If that's the case … Okay, I agree. So what should I do next?"
"Tell me what you're doing. Also, tell me how you suddenly appeared here."
"I'm completing an auxiliary ritual. Using the crystal cores of exotic beasts can make my power stronger. Don't you know that? This is my unique skill. It's because I invented this skill that I couldn't stay in China and came here. It's because Jinling Tree wants to kill me. My name is Han Fei, and I'm very famous. Haven't you heard of me? "
"Auxiliary ritual? Han Fei? "
Eddie said with confusion. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Come and see me. Tell me about your ritual."
