Chapter 748 - 753 Psychological Tactics
Hearing Yarebin’s words, Yang Yi suddenly realized why Yarebin had spoken them.
In extremely unfavorable circumstances, voicing something that could likely get himself killed seemed like a suicidal act, but in actuality, it was merely a psychological tactic.
Yarebin knew what Brian most wanted to know — Brian wanted to know the whereabouts of Kate, also known as Annastasia. With Yarebin cornered by Brian, if Yarebin told him what he wanted to hear, Brian, harboring great hostility and wariness towards Yarebin, would definitely not believe him. Therefore, Yarebin did the opposite.
He first spoke the words that Brian least wanted to hear, the words Brian was most afraid of. Since these words, if spoken, would lead to death, Brian would naturally believe everything he said was true.
And after Brian believed him, Yarebin would then reveal the actual truth.
Perhaps it wasn’t the truth, but just having been spurred to madness by the bad news, Brian, hoping for a different outcome due to his love for Annastasia, would wish for Yarebin to provide an alternative result — a result he wanted to hear.
If a person hopes to be deceived, then they will certainly be deceived.
The Black Devil was truly too skilled at manipulating people’s hearts.
With a simple psychological tactic, Brian’s psychological defenses were breached.
There was nothing he could do; that’s the consequence of desire. If Yarebin had spoken about someone else, Brian might have already blown his head off with a shot, but Yarebin spoke of Annastasia.
Yang Yi didn’t know if Brian had understood the subtleties of the situation. He felt such child’s play psychological tactics should be simple for Brian, but seeing Brian already trembling with excitement, it seemed he no longer had any confidence.
