"Come up?" Ilena said as she saw Guo Xuyang walk in.
"In such a hurry?" Guo Xuyang gave a cold smile.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kept it from you."
"You hid it so deeply, you even managed to fool me."
"I really didn't mean to."
"You can evade my detection? How did you get these abilities?"
"Would you believe me if I said Verlan gave them to me?"
"He doesn't have that much power. But he does have this kind of ability."
"Would you believe it if I said I gave him his abilities?"
"I can believe that."
"I don't know why I gained this ability. I know you and I should be the same kind of person.
The first time I saw you, I felt a special closeness.
Really, it's a feeling no one else has ever given me.
I feel like I'm meant to be with you for this lifetime.
I admit I did some unpleasant things to Xiao Yun. Back then, I really couldn't stand seeing her clinging to you.
But fortunately, it didn't cause any major harm."
"When did you get this ability?"
"My parents were murdered, and I gained it after I fell unconscious and woke up.
However, my abilities aren't very strong. I can clearly know what you're thinking, what you want to do, so I used my charm to seduce you."
"So, this was all my own doing? How could you use Yu'er to talk to me?"
"I just infiltrated Yu'er's consciousness and made Yu'er talk to you.
I only did that after getting Yu'er's consent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to invade Yu'er's consciousness."
"How did Verlan hypnotize you? If you passed it on to him, how could he hypnotize you?"
"That's something I'm also puzzled about. It must be that he hypnotized me when he first violated me.
However, I gained my special abilities by chance.
But at first, I didn't know how to use them. Later, I was deceived by his sweet talk, and that's how I unknowingly passed some abilities to him."
"This ability requires conscious effort. How did you agree to pass these abilities to him?"
"At that time, I didn't know he was the one behind my parents' death.
He treated me very well, so I unknowingly fell into his trap."
"Why didn't Jelena gain special abilities?"
"I don't know either."
"You clearly know Jelena, so why did you pretend not to know her?"
"I was afraid you would become suspicious of me. Later, seeing how well you treated Jelena, I felt more at ease."
"Did she recognize you long ago?"
"Yes. She recognized me as soon as we met.
At that time, when you joked that we were twins, I was worried she would say something, but she didn't.
After the DNA test results came out, she and I were completely relieved."
"Did you switch the samples?"
"I didn't. As for whether Yang Yang did, I don't know."
"So after you gave birth, she came to your room every day to help take care of Xiao Bao?"
"Yes. One reason she did this was to prevent Mom from getting too tired. Another was that she really liked Xiao Bao. And the third was because she knew I was her older sister."
"No wonder she came to your room to play all the time. So you recognized each other long ago."
"Yes. At that time, although you changed Jelena into Guo Yiyang, some assassins from abroad still came to the capital looking for her.
Because Jelena had changed her identity, they mistook me for Jelena and launched several attacks on me, but I wiped them all out.
Later, I used Anna's identity in the system to quietly send a message, and that's how I avoided being pursued by those people.
Anna was a name I often used when I was a killer."
Hearing Ilena's explanations, Guo Xuyang finally understood why Joanna had come looking for him and why Verlan had taken Joanna as his closed-door disciple.
He hadn't forgotten Ilena at that time.
"Is there anything else you want to ask? I'll tell you anything you want to know. I really didn't mean to deceive you."
Guo Xuyang shook his head. He knew Ilena had deceived him before, but he hadn't expected she had also reincarnated after being near death.
This experience was very similar to his own.
He felt he was getting closer and closer to that veil, as if he could break through it at any moment.
But it always fell just a little short.
He knew he hadn't gained these abilities for no reason, nor had Yu'er been sealed in his mind for no reason to become an ability spirit.
He would only know these things after he broke through that veil.
It was a pity that his funds were very limited, making it impossible for him to endlessly increase his abilities and upgrade them.
There was another method, which was to constantly seek out young girls who had not yet experienced intimacy.
Although this method was a bit scummy, it was much faster than upgrading abilities.
While this was a shortcut, it didn't help much with upgrading his abilities or dealing with danger quickly.
After listening to Ilena's explanation, he slowly turned and left.
He couldn't accept these things for a while. He couldn't face someone who could know his inner world.
In front of Ilena, he had no privacy at all.
No wonder he always felt Ilena understood him so well before, like she was his่่ซ.
Thinking about it now, of course she understood him perfectly.
She knew what he was thinking, so how could she not understand him?
That's why the things she did were always to his liking.
Guo Xuyang suddenly realized that his own abilities were insignificant in front of Ilena.
Although he could use his abilities to investigate what he wanted to investigate, he was powerless against Ilena.
Last time, when he tried to investigate if Ilena also had abilities, Ilena directly let him discover a beauty ability.
These were all things she wanted him to know.
She had perfectly hidden herself.
And had deceived Guo Xuyang.
Guo Xuyang returned to his room, and Yu'er was already lying on the bed.
"What's wrong? Yangzi. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No. Let me rest." Guo Xuyang said as he lay down on the bed.
He now had to take the abilities he had gained seriously.
He needed to sort them out properly.
Since gaining his abilities, he had become extremely arrogant, feeling that he was the second most powerful person in the world, that there was no place he couldn't go and nothing he couldn't do.
But Ilena had given him a resounding blow, almost knocking him out.
If Ilena had any ill intentions towards him, Guo Xuyang would probably have ceased to exist.
Yet, he was still smug.
Even before he kicked Pi Xiaoqian, he still felt he was almost omnipotent.
Fortunately, Ilena's wake-up call had completely sobered him up.
Otherwise, he didn't know what kind of mistakes he would have made.
