Urging for more updates, then turning into a magical girl.

Chapter 18 Hypnotic Corrosion

Lin Yuyan, who had been clinging to Su Chenjin like a madman, suddenly froze, her hands hanging limply at her sides, standing motionless in place.

"...Grand Eunuch Hu Yue, I obey your orders."

A completely emotionless voice drifted from Lin Yuyan's mouth.

Cheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he finally managed to brake.

She almost had her delicate young body taken advantage of by this mad and perverted author!

Although he knew that appearing in front of Lin Yuyan dressed as the protagonist of a novel would definitely cause her a great visual shock, he did not expect her reaction to be so exaggerated.

However, if we look at it from a different perspective and put ourselves in Lin Yuyan's shoes...

The protagonist from her own novel broke through the dimensional barrier and appeared before her, even taking the initiative to take care of her three meals a day and her daily life...

They are probably all difficult to resist to various degrees, right?

And this is a good thing!

The fact that the head eunuch is so enthusiastic shows that her feelings for "Su Chenjin" have become very strong, right?

Now that the level of rapport has been maximized, the light hypnosis should be much more effective than yesterday, right?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qi composed himself and stared intently into Lin Yuyan's empty eyes.

"I'm asking you, how do you view me now... that is, 'Su Chenjin'?"

Cheng Qi asked expectantly, preparing to assess his current progress in hypnosis.

Lin Yuyan was silent for two seconds, seemingly subconsciously considering the answer. Soon, she replied in a completely emotionless voice:

"Su Chenjin is a woman who could be my mother."

"...???????"

Hearing this inexplicable answer, Cheng Qi was completely speechless.

When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but I think you have a problem!

Are you possessed by Char Aznable?

According to the setting, Su Chenjin is a year younger than you and a head shorter than you, right?

However, Cheng Qi managed to calm herself down. No matter how outrageous her fantasies were, as long as she could achieve her ultimate goal, everything was worth it.

"Okay, since you like me so much, if I asked you to go back to your room right now, turn on your computer, and start writing to update your novel, would you go and write now?"

However, Lin Yuyan did not hesitate at all:

"I still don't really want to."

"..."

Depend on!

As expected of you, you eunuch! Even the hypnotic commands, imbued with maternal energy and the halo of a novel's protagonist, couldn't shake your do-nothing mentality?!

"I don't understand why you're so resistant to writing?"

"...Because I prefer to update according to my mood and don't want to be constrained. But if I don't update for too long, it's a bit too much for the readers, and I feel a little embarrassed, so I will try to update weekly as much as possible."

...You're still embarrassed?!

However, the Grand Eunuch's current update frequency is roughly weekly. Sometimes she can even update twice a week, and Cheng Qi almost wants to post a message praising her in the book club.

In a sense, Cheng Qi felt that he had been thoroughly trained by the Grand Eunuch... He could even tolerate the slow updates.

Cheng Qi refused to believe it and decided to increase the emotional pressure he was applying.

"Aren't you afraid of losing me? What if I told you right now, 'If you don't update your novel, I'll never like you again'?"

Cheng Qi put on a stern face and deliberately made his tone cold.

Lin Yuyan's blank expression revealed a slight hint of panic. After several seconds, she finally retorted, "Chen Jin isn't that kind of person... She's so gentle, she would never threaten me with something like this."

"..."

So you're completely impervious to reason after being hypnotized?!

Cheng Qi finally saw the true extent of the incompetence of this shallow hypnosis.

Lin Yuyan tries to gain favor by using Su Chenjin's identity, but she will still subconsciously resist any orders she gives that don't fit Su Chenjin's persona.

Could it be that the current hypnosis progress is too shallow, causing her to still have a strong resistance to doing things she doesn't want to do?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qi stepped forward and lifted the hem of Lin Yuyan's shirt.

The pink heart pattern on the eunuch's lower abdomen was emitting a bewitching glow. The surrounding patterns seemed to flow slightly across his skin as if they were alive, and the number in the very center of the heart was now "12".

The numbers have increased...?

Cheng Qi frowned slightly, staring intently at the number.

What does this thing actually mean? Is it some kind of progress bar? Or will it trigger something?

Forget it, I'll just ask someone who knows.

After careful calculation, it had been almost a day since he had infiltrated Lin Yuyan's side. It was time to contact the base.

Cheng Qi took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Zhang Menglin's number.

The call was answered quickly after only three or four seconds.

"Hello? Commander? You've finally contacted me. How's the infiltration going?"

"Everything is going very smoothly. I'm currently living in the secret base of the magical girls, Arc Moon, and she trusts me completely. How's the base doing?"

"Don't worry, Commander. You're not always at the base, and with my supervision, nothing serious is likely to happen so far."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and to let each other know they were safe, Cheng Qi immediately got to the point, "Dr. Zhang, I have a question for you. I noticed a pink heart-shaped pattern with a number in the middle on Hu Yue's lower abdomen. What does this mean?"

"Oh! You mean that!" Zhang Menglin's voice immediately became excited. "I was just about to explain it to you. That pattern is a feedback system I specially added to the brainwashing device, called 'Hypnotic Erosion Level,' which only appears when the target is under hypnosis."

"Hypnotic erosion level?"

"That's right! This number reflects the progress of how well we control the target's mind at any time. The higher the number, the deeper the hypnosis penetrates her subconscious. As this number gradually increases, the effect of light hypnosis becomes stronger."

Zhang Menglin paused, then continued, "And once this number reaches 100, the hypnotic effect is practically the same as powerful deep brainwashing. You don't even need to give specific commands; she will accept your will as absolute truth!"

So that's how it is. In other words, as long as I get this number to 100, I can completely control this eunuch and make her update 20,000 words a day without any problem!

"By the way, Commander," Zhang Menglin asked with a hint of curiosity, "what's the reading on your lower abdomen right now? It's only been one day since you started infiltrating. Normally, you'd be lucky to get two or three points."

Cheng Qi glanced at Lin Yuyan, who was still standing there in a daze, and answered in a calm tone: "12".

"..."

There was a few seconds of dead silence on the other end of the phone, then Zhang Menglin let out an exaggerated sound of surprise:

"Huh?! How is this possible?! It's only been one day, and it's already skyrocketed to 12?! Commander, what method did you use to make her corruption level increase so quickly?!"

"..."

Faced with Zhang Menglin's shock, Cheng Qi felt somewhat helpless.

How should I explain this reason?

Do you want me to tell you that because I changed into the clothes of the protagonist in this eunuch's novel, she clung to me like a lustful pervert, calling out "Mommy" in her mind while making all sorts of noises at me?

...I couldn't bring myself to say it. I had completely lost the authority I held as the leader of the villains.

Cheng Qi's gaze drifted towards the ceiling, and he used a dry laugh to cover his embarrassment:

"Haha... It's probably because... my personal charm is just too strong, that's why her affection for me has increased so quickly."
