Li Shentan's arrival was not necessarily bad news for Vanilla either. At the very least, they would not need so many people to keep watch at night.
When Li Shentan was getting ready to sleep, the people under Li Shentan's control formed a circle around the campsite while holding hands. Vanilla suddenly had an inexplicable feeling like he was going to play Toss a Handkerchief.
But regardless of whether it felt strange or not, with such a force guarding the campsite without rest, no one would be able to mount a successful sneak attack.
Li Shentan was about to get into his tent when he suddenly retreated. "By the way, I forgot something important."
The moment he said that, everyone in the campsite paused in their movements. They were afraid Li Shentan would go crazy.
Li Shentan walked to the center of the campsite and said, "Come, my friends from the Pyro Company, turn around."
With that, about 30 of the people under his control turned around and faced the campsite.
As such, Li Shentan said, "Since y 'all were active in the vicinity, you must've been waiting for someone to send you a signal, right? See if there are any of your people in this campsite. If there are, point them out to me. "
Vanilla was stunned for a moment. During the day, Cheng Yu had informed him that there was a Pyro Company mole in their group. He was even thinking of identifying the Pyro Company members based on the tattoos on their ribs.
However, Li Shentan's arrival had disrupted his plans, so he had forgotten about it.
Now, Li Shentan was actually using the people under his control to identify his accomplices.
"That works too?" Vanilla mumbled softly.
Tang Hualong smiled bitterly at the side. "This Demon Whisperer is very eccentric and unpredictable. I wonder who can befriend him."
At this moment, two Pyro Company members suddenly raised their hands and pointed at two people in the campsite.
The two of them looked terrified. "We're not members of the Pyro Company. We don't even have tattoos on our ribs. You can take a look if you don't believe me."
Li Shentan clapped his hands and laughed. "The Pyro Company was the one who leaked the information about the tattoos to the public, right? Wasn't it just to confuse people like today? I've never believed in such common knowledge that everyone knows."
It was easy for humans to believe in the common sense that they had mastered, but how could there be so much common sense in life? Most of it was actually a castle of lies.
Therefore, it was only at this moment that the others at the campsite realized not all of the Pyro Company's members had tattoos on their ribs. Some of them did not even have any tattoos at all.
Vanilla sighed. They had already been very cautious when selecting the candidates for this team, but they still ended up letting two Pyro Company members in.
The two Pyro Company members suddenly saw Li Shentan take out a silver coin from his hand. Li Shentan smiled and said, "Let's play a game of guessing. If you guys get it right, I'll spare your lives."
The two Pyro Company members looked at each other. If someone else had said that, it would definitely be a lie. How could the Anjing House possibly let two members of the Pyro Company leave?
But for Li Shentan to use a game to decide their fate, it was a little more convincing.
One of the Pyro Company members said, "I'll guess it's the literal one."
Li Shentan nodded. "Watch carefully."
As he spoke, he flicked the silver coin high into the air with his thumb. A young woman with bright eyes and white teeth was engraved on the front of the exquisite silver coin with a charming smile. Meanwhile, a bouquet of lilies was engraved on the back.
No organization in this world had ever issued such a silver coin before. It was carved by Li Shentan himself.
The silver coin flew over the bridge of Li Shentan's nose and hovered just above his eyes as it kept spinning.
Everyone was waiting to see the front and back of the silver coin, but it did not fall down from the air!
Vanilla roared, "Close your eyes!"
But it was too late. The gazes of many people at the campsite glazed over at the same time. Only a few people were spared.
Li Shentan looked at Vanilla and said with a smile, "You're quite quick to react."
Vanilla's expression darkened. He was ready to go on a killing spree. Although Li Shentan was famous, Vanilla was not a nobody who could be easily manipulated.
To be honest, no one had expected Li Shentan's hypnosis to be so unpredictable.
But before he could do anything, he heard Li Shentan say with a smile, "Other than the Pyro Company members, all of you will be released from your hypnosis after I snap my fingers."
With a snap of his fingers, even some of the people who had been under Li Shentan's hypnosis were awakened. Only the Pyro Company members were left standing there in a daze. Vanilla was stunned.
Vanilla was stunned. Just what was Li Shentan trying to do? Why was he acting so illogically?
He had thought Li Shentan was taking the opportunity to control everyone. But now he had even released the hypnosis on the people he was controlling. Just what was he trying to do?
Next to him, Si Liren, who had been staring at the silver coin, curled her lips and said, "I'm still waiting to see the front and back of the coin. How can you go back on your word?"
Li Shentan smiled confidently and said, "Why would I keep my word when talking to a mental patient? I'm a mental patient!"
Si Liren curled her lips again. Li Shentan was always using his mental illness as an excuse. It was as though he could do whatever he wanted!
The people who had just woken up felt like they had just woken up from a long dream. They stood there at a loss.
They could not even remember what had happened while they were under Li Shentan's hypnosis.
Most of them felt a little weak. This was because after they were controlled by Li Shentan, they did not sleep or eat. They were completely draining their lives to maintain their mobility.
Among these people, there were people from the consortiums and people from the Anjing House. Vanilla quickly ordered his subordinates to settle them down.
Meanwhile, Li Shentan turned to look at Zhou Yingxue. "Why weren't you hypnotized just now?"
"Why would I?" Zhou Yingxue said in disdain, "It's just a small trick."
Li Shentan said with a smile, "Looks like you're not as simple as you seem. It's no wonder you became his maid."
Zhou Yingxue immediately beamed. "You have good taste."
Although Li Shentan had only performed the hypnosis casually and did not use his full strength, it was still not something anyone could withstand.
The fact that Zhou Yingxue could not be affected meant that Zhou Yingxue's mental strength far exceeded that of the average person. And the relationship between mental strength and a supernatural being corresponded to how strong the supernatural being was.
There were only a few people in this world that Li Shentan could not see through. For example, when he first met Ren Xiaosu at the Li Consortium's stronghold, he could sense that the other party's mental strength was as unique as the sea.
Li Shentan asked Zhou Yingxue in a whisper, "Do you really not know where your boss is? I think you should also want to see him, right? Tell me where he is, and we can go look for him together to have some fun. "
Zhou Yingxue sized up Li Shentan. Ren Xiaosu had indeed said that Li Shentan was a friend. Moreover, their attitudes back in Luoyang City also spoke volumes. At the very least, when Ren Xiaosu was facing Li Shentan, he did not show any clear hostility. It was the same for Li Shentan as well.
She thought for a moment and said, "He should be in the west, separated from us by the Sacred Mountains."
Li Shentan laughed. "When you want to see a friend, if the mountain is blocking your way, then just trample it underfoot."
