Chapter 44: V3C23: I’m not going to that monstrous place (2)

Translator: Night Fury

Becoming the living dead just so to visit the undead city? The cost was ridiculously high!

Nevertheless, Li Nai didn’t look like she was kidding. Looking at her status, it had turned from green (friendly) to blue (trust)…… and that meant, she really wanted to turn me into her ‘comrade’!

Woah, I really didn’t want to become the living dead! Although Li Nai looked just the same as an ordinary person, that was because she was already an awaken corpse, if by any chance I became one and never awakened, wouldn’t that mean I would permanently lose my IQ?

No way, this I had to avoid, my pride wouldn’t allow me to become like Li Nai, drooling like an idiot. Tsk, there was no other way, I had to use my second ability……

Since I still lacked self-control, Principal Na Na set up an on-off switch for my abilities.

I rolled my tongue clockwise across my mouth, if rolled over 90 degrees the switch would be turned on…… After that, everything that I said would have an effect.

“[Li Nai! Sit down!]”

Suddenly, Li Nai who was 5 centimeters away from me was forced to sit down on her butt like she was pressured by something.

At the same time, her upper body was pushed against the floor, her arms trying to support her body. She looked exhausted.

“Uuu, what is this…… it suddenly feels so heavy……”

“Fu……”

This, was the second ability I wanted, ‘language pressure’, that was, forming different shapes of mental pressure through my words.

[Li Nai] was my appointed target, [sit down] was to exert the size and direction of the pressure. If I said [kneel down] or [lean over], the mental pressure she felt would’ve been stronger. My target could be [everyone], or a specific group, because I could still see their statuses, so appointing targets wasn’t a problem.

This was actually a ‘fixed body technique’ kind of ability.

Although the Yata Mirror can let me see others’ true name, but reading aloud the names could only be used against demons, other chaps wouldn’t be affected much. That was why I expanded the range, making my words themselves containing pressure.

Of course at first I wanted to achieve ‘mental domination’, but Na Na said that kind of power was too profound. Besides, if there wasn’t a big contrast on the mental strength, it could be easy to fail, ‘which was why in the end I went for mental pressure.

But Na Na also said that if my mental strength continued to expand, one day I would be able to achieve the effects of ‘mental domination’…… Meh, it wasn’t like I had my expectations high up that is.

“But if it’s only this kind of degree……! I can overcome it with my willpower!”

Ooh! She actually stood…… no, ‘crouched’ up!

I could see her panties…… huh? What a weird pattern, it was a skeleton head! Pirate underwear?

I originally wanted to add [lean over], to give her stronger mental pressure, but in the end I didn’t do it because then I wouldn’t be able to see her panties.

Now was probably the right time, since I tried my second ability, I should also try my third ability.

Li Nai who wouldn’t admit defeat was still fighting against my mental pressure, she slowly stood up from her crouching position, just like a weightlifter, as for me, I covered my mouth with my left hand.

This mouth covering act wasn’t the switch to my ability, it was camouflage to the real way of turning on the switch, the real way was to press my lips together and push my teeth against my lips.

The next moment, Li Nai said involuntarily.

“I am a brainless corpse!………… Umm? Uahh! My butt hurts……”

Li Nai suddenly said something to mock herself, after she relaxed a bit, once again she fell down onto the ground due to the mental pressure.

“What just happened? My mouth wasn’t in control! That is so weird, could it be the viruses invaded my brain again?”

It seemed like she hadn’t noticed it was me who did that.

“But if that’s the case, I should become verbally incapable! And I obviously just said something bad about myself…… I will never do something like that, it must’ve been someone else! So…… Jun Cheng, it’s you, isn’t it!”

“Do you really need to speculate…… it’s only me and you in this classroom, who else would it be other than me? Alright, you can [get up] now.”

“Ohhh, it’s not heavy anymore!”

This girl really was an idiot……

“What was that just now? What was that? Was it your abilities!”

“You’re right, this is my ability, ‘prescriptive ventriloquism’. I can use my mental strength to affect other people and make them say whatever I want.”

Of course, my three abilities could be used at the same time.

These abilities were actually set for in case I got caught, my mouth was stuffed and I couldn’t talk. Since my second ability was based on what I said, if I were unable to speak, it would be useless. So what would I do? ‘Borrowing someone’s mouth to speak’, was what I came up with.

Therefore, this amusing ability was formed.

The new abilities I got, essentially they weren’t the most tremendous, you can even say they were very odd abilities.

But if I mixed and matched those three, it could help me deal with all sorts of situation.

Using ‘accelerated mind’ to hide from attacks and coming up with solutions, depending on ‘language pressure’ to exert pressure and restricting the enemy, and lastly using ‘prescriptive ventriloquism’ to borrow someone’s mouth.

This was my structure of basic countermeasure.

I never thought that I would suddenly become an expert, the abilities gained through such convenient ways surely wouldn’t be as ferocious.

I even asked Na Na, she told me that the abilities she gave me through setting up the magic circle were very limited. A weak enemy would be fooled, but it wouldn’t help if I were to come across experts.

To explain using moba type games, I would never be the one to fight the enemy, my role would only be auxiliary, but that was enough for me.

Not only could I sufficiently use my extra mental health, I could also use my abilities along with the True Name Revelation, so that I wouldn’t be like in the past, helpless in the face of a crisis.

I could procrastinate for however long my ability allowed; if I couldn’t fight the enemy, I could outrun them. My goal was to buy myself the time to run away!

But this way seemed a bit like a loser……emmmmmm…… and it wasn’t cool too……

After reading so many shounen mangas, I did think of getting those cool and extravagant abilities…… like flames and lightning, didn’t they look so neat and dandy?…… My ability however, wasn’t cool at all, procrastinating, laying pressure and borrowing…… ugh, just what kind of ability were these……

But, the chap in front of me seemed to be amused by my ability.

“Ohhh! This ability is so interesting! This is my first time seeing such weird abilities! Being able to make anyone say anything, this is simply the best ability for pranks!”

Li Nai looked at me with sparkly eyes, then she……hugged my leg.

“Hey heyyy~ please teach me this ability! Please~”

Why the sudden interest? I really didn’t understand Li Nai’s way of thinking.

It wasn’t easy to understand girls, but Li Nai was one of the most peculiar ones I had ever met, just like an alien.

“Stop hugging my leg! Even if you want me to teach you, I……”

“Cheng -kun, are you done cleaning? Let’s go home…… Cheng -kun?”

……Oh, shit.

I suddenly remembered I promised Moe Bing that I’d walk home with her……

“What…… are you guys doing?”

Moe Bing looked at me and Li Nai who was hugging my leg while her face was leaned against a subtle spot, then she slowly widened her eyes.

“Could it be she’s gonna give you oral…… That was something I haven’t had the chance to do…… Yet your first time is stolen by some other woman……”

Wahh—-!

Don’t suddenly go into delusions!

There was definitely no way something ambiguous would happen between me and Li Nai!

Nothing really happened this time……

I was accused wrongly!
