Chapter 97: Being in love really does make you a fool
"What makes you think I’m not attracted to beauty?"
Lee Nari’s voice sounded from his right side. She was close, really close to him. Cheon Areum tried to open his eyes, but he couldn’t; there was something covering them tightly enough to restrict his eyelids’ movements. A blindfold. His hands were also tied behind his back. Cheon Areum moved his fingers only, to feel the surface. Velvet. He was currently sitting on a velvet couch with his hands tied behind his back and a blindfold on his eyes.
"I still had 5 minutes, why did you wake him up?"
The voice he heard before losing consciousness spoke this time. He still didn’t recognize the voice, but he did recognize the skill.
"Blank Recall, a high-level hypnotic ability that implants a powerful mental command into the subconscious of the target. Once activated, it causes the target’s conscious mind to shut down temporarily, plunging them into a blackout state for 30 minutes. During this time, their body becomes limp or collapses, and their memory of the trigger moment and blackout is completely erased upon waking."
"The moment our eyes met when you used the trigger word ’Think,’ I blacked out, and I won’t even remember seeing your face. Isn’t that right, Lee Dohyun?"
Cheon Areum explained calmly to them, but he didn’t wait for a response. To activate the skill, Lee Dohyun needed to be there in person, use the trigger word, and make eye contact with the target. To deactivate, however, anyone could use the trigger word, or just wait for the 30 minutes to be over.
"Take off the blindfold and untie me while I’m being nice."
The only person with the skill Blank Recall in the book was Lee Dohyun. Lee Nari’s older brother and Yoon Seoyul’s team member.
"I also know what kind of skills you have, Cheon Areum. We wouldn’t just be risking our lives without a plan to stop you from using your abilities. Would we now?"
Lee Dohyun said, his voice coming from the front of Cheon Areum. The skill was impressive to even subdue an S+ Class despite being an S-Class skill, but...
"Blank Recall can only be used once a day, and your other skills are useless against me."
