Chapter 247

“I will control my desires.”

“I can’t be labeled a filthy [betrayer] just based on motivation and impulse.”

“Rather, it is precisely this kind of control of my desires and curbing my irrational behavior that can better prove my loyalty, right?”

After hearing the explanation of Isaka Shinkoro, Baku Ryo sneered and replied: “Mr. Isaka Shinkoro’s sophistry really makes me bow down to him…

“You are good at confusing right and wrong.”

“You are obviously a traitor, but you not only admitted it openly, but even described yourself as a loyal and faithful minister who can’t be found even with a lantern…

“You are really amazing.”

“However, since Mr. Sonosaki Ryubei chose to believe you, I can’t say much.

“I’ll leave it to you for now.”

“You’d better be able to control your impulses all the time and don’t let me catch you in rebellious behavior.”

Then, Baku Ryo remained silent.

Although his words were still full of reluctance, the overall meaning was expressed more clearly.

In order to achieve cooperation, he was willing to tolerate Isaka Shinkoro working with him.

There was no way...

The only thing that Baku Ryo could rely on now was the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom.

Without special armor, he had no qualifications to negotiate with the Sonosaki family.

He had wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, it was cleverly resolved.

At least, that was the image that was created.

The atmosphere became stiff again.

Sonosaki Ryubei smiled and nodded slightly.

His suspicion of Baku Ryo had gradually dissipated with the abilities and emotions that Baku Ryo showed.

Now, he was slightly raising his mouth to gain an "ally" who could be controlled by him.

In this way, he could use Baku Ryo's existence to better control the chess piece of Isaka Shinkoro.

However, on the other side...

Looking at Baku Ryo, Isaka Shinkoro made a judgment.

[The change of expression is very natural...]

[The progression of emotions is also very reasonable...]

[If he was just going to cooperate with Sonozaki Ryubei as the holder of the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom and sneak into Sonozaki's house, there would be no need to ridicule me.]

[For a fraudster, no matter how exquisite the scam and acting skills are, the more he does, the more mistakes he makes.]

[It can be judged from his motivation and performance...]

[What he said just now can be said to be completely out of his own emotions, without any consideration of the game.]

[He reluctantly accepted the cooperation led by Sonozaki Ryubei, but he was not willing to do so, so he could only ridicule me a few times to vent his dissatisfaction...]

[Very natural.]

[Based on the current situation, he should be an independent individual, not an image played by someone...]

[There is a high probability that there will be no accidents.]

[Unless, Huang Jinqing can perfectly control his expression and smoothly change his mood. 】

After a while, Weather touched his face.

He still had doubts.

[Let's be more rigorous. ]

[It is impossible to rule out the possibility that the legendary Golden Lord does have the special ability to perfectly control his expression and smoothly change his mood...]

[The rest of the matter will have to wait until I actually see the real Golden Lord, Bekas, before I can make further judgments. ]

[After all, I have no evidence. ]

[Then again...]

[If he is really the Golden Lord...]

[It might be possible to use him...]

[After all, as he said...]

[I am actually a [traitor]. ]

Although Shiraishi's acting skills are almost perfect, Isaka Shinkoro still did not let down his guard.

There is a reason why Isaka Shinkoro made such a judgment.

He had also done training in expression management.

He knew that there are actually two different ways for a person to completely hide his emotions.

One of them is that no matter what the situation is, no expression will be shown on the face, all body movements will be abandoned, and all facial muscles will be locked.

Although the whole person may look a little stiff, like a puppet standing there.

But it must be said that it is indeed possible to hide emotions.

Isaka Shinkuro himself uses this method.

Except when facing the doped bodies and Gaia memories that he is interested in, he can be expressionless, without any body movements, and even without any fluctuations in his voice.

And another way to hide emotions...

is naturally to disguise perfectly.

Perfectly control every muscle of his face, no matter what expression he makes, it is extremely natural, and he can even use disguised emotions to temporarily suppress his real emotions, so that all the emotions he expresses are very smooth...

He knows...

It is possible for Huang Jinqing to do this.

However, his mentality changes quickly.

Even if it is Huang Jinqing, so what.

As long as the interests are consistent, he believes that even Huang Jinqing can temporarily cooperate with him.

Looking at the tapirang, Isaka Akira was thoughtful.

A big hole in the ground.

In silence, people with their own purposes reached a delicate balance...

Then, Sonosaki Ryuhei slowly raised his head and looked at the location of the building above the Sonosaki residence. He stared there and slowly said: "Are you going back and coming back? Are these rats still there?" I’m really getting bolder and bolder..."

397-Nightmare, time to wake up

After being awakened by the feeling of hunger in his belly, Yuzo Asakawa slowly opened his eyes amidst his stomach growling...

But what caught his eyes was still darkness.

As dark as the despair in his heart.

"The nightmare isn't over yet..." he muttered.

His voice was hoarse and weak, and his whole body seemed like a tree that was about to die due to withering.

He was sluggish.

He smiled helplessly, but perhaps because he was too weak, his expression changed but he was unable to make a sound.

He tried struggling, but found it was useless as always.

At this moment, he was being fixed on a certain wall by a solidified hard shell-like substance. He was stuck to the wall like a piece of merchandise on display, unable to move.

The rich aroma filled the dark space.

Being in contact with this scent for a long time even made Yuzo Asakawa feel vaguely nauseous.

Asakawa Yuzo felt that he was deep in a nightmare of purgatory.

Not long ago, after Yuzo Asakawa carefully made desserts for Mr. Ryubei Sonosaki of the Sonosaki family, the nightmare began.

Just when Yuzo Asakawa was about to leave...

A slimy monster broke into the kitchen of Sonosaki's house, and then used the strange substance it released to capture Asakawa Yuzo, and then brought Asakawa Yuzo to this warehouse.

Then, the sticky monster began to use force to force Asakawa Yuzo to make desserts for it to taste.

With no choice, Asakawa Yuzo could only make desserts in this simple warehouse using kitchen utensils collected by monsters.

From then on, making desserts for monsters became everything to him.

When necessary, the monster will lower Asakawa Yuzo from the wall and let Asakawa Yuzo make desserts.

Occasionally, the monster would simply leave some food and water so that Asakawa Yuzo could eat and maintain his life.

However, most of the time when the dessert monster is not needed, Asakawa Yuzo can only remain as he is now, fixed to the wall by the strange substance like goods or tools.

Everything was completely stripped from him.

Days like this have been going on for a while.

Not only that, after Asakawa Yuzo gradually weakened and gradually became unable to complete desserts perfectly, the dessert monster also captured several other pastry chefs to replace Asakawa Yuzo.

Since then, Asakawa Yuzo's value as a tool has been completely abandoned...

Since then, Asakawa Yuzo has been hung on the wall and has not eaten or drank for a while.

He fell into coma due to torture and woke up in pain.

He was getting weaker and closer to death.

He felt as if he was in an endless hell.

Now, he has no other luxury.

There is only one last concern left.

He followed his impression and looked in the direction of the other pastry chefs hanging on the wall.

As more and more pastry chefs come in, the pattern becomes more and more obvious...

That dessert monster seems to be catching people according to the order given to pastry chefs in the "Fengdu Dessert Evaluation Guide".

And now, in the abandoned warehouse where Asakawa Yuzo is imprisoned, five different pastry chefs, including Asakawa Yuzo himself, have been arrested...

If that rule is good...

Next, it’s the sixth place’s turn.

Sixth place, Mai Asakawa.

Therefore, now, Asakawa Yuzo's only concern is that his daughter, Asakawa Mai, the sixth-ranked pastry chef, can escape the capture of that hateful dessert monster.

Apart from that, he had no other thoughts.

Asakawa Yuzo shook his head slightly.

Even with this thought, he didn't hold out much hope.

He always thinks pessimistically that maybe one day when he opens his eyes, he will find that his daughter has also been tied here and forced to make dessert for the dessert monster.

And maybe by then, his last hope will be shattered, he will fall into complete despair, and die in a weak body because of losing faith...

Looking at the darkness in front of him, Asakawa Yuzo sighed slowly. He was about to close his eyes again and try to get rid of distracting thoughts to save his last strength.

Even in the worst case scenario, he still hopes to be able to see his daughter before passing away.

To do this, he needs physical strength.

However, just before Asakawa Yuzo closed his eyes, some noises came from outside the warehouse door.

It sounded like footsteps.
