My identity is becoming increasingly outrageous.

Chapter 24: The Rough-around-the-edges Trio

Zhang Tao's first reaction was to reach out and snatch the piece of white paper.

In his mind, his hand had already snatched the paper and torn it to pieces.

But in reality, his hands didn't move at all. When he saw the painting, his consciousness was already drawn by Wang Hong's spiritual power.

Wang Hong was fully activating the hypnosis technique.

They had failed once before with Li Boheng.

Facing Zhang Tao, who is clearly stronger than Li Boheng, Wang Hong held nothing back.

The moment Zhang Tao turned around, she remained in a drowsy position, holding the hypnotic painting in front of her to show him.

"I'm your boss, so follow my orders from now on." Wang Hong's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, yet it reached Zhang Tao's ears perfectly.

Zhang Tao's eyes gradually lost their luster, and he seemed to be in a daze.

But this state only lasted for a moment before he returned to normal.

Wang Hong wasn't sure if he had successfully hypnotized Zhang Tao, so this time he skipped the intermediate stages and hypnotized Zhang Tao as quickly as possible.

There's no way around it; he simply doesn't have that much time.

After completing the hypnosis, he immediately opened the panel to check it.

[Profession Quest: Within a limited time, hypnotizing more than ten people will randomly grant you a permanent trait. (6/10)]

With the task progress successfully increased by 1, Wang Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I looked at the attribute panel:

Wang Hong

[Physical Fitness: 35]

【Spirit: 40】

[Level: Blue (5/50)]

【The Hypnotist (Blue)】

Through this hypnosis session, his professional level was also raised to blue.

Just like when it was white and cyan, he couldn't feel much change.

But one can probably guess that an increase in a hypnotist's level means a significant increase in their hypnosis success rate.

The value of the objects that can be effective will also rise accordingly.

Li Boheng almost failed before, but now he has successfully hypnotized these kidnappers.

After this further improvement, Wang Hong believed that his hypnosis skills had improved once again.

Since that's the case, should we strike while the iron is hot and hypnotize the two people in the front row as well?

Wang Hong was thinking about it.

Having hypnotized Zhang Tao, Wang Hong now has enough ability to protect himself, but he will still have to put in some effort to escape.

The car was traveling at high speed, and Wang Hong couldn't let Zhang Tao rashly attack the driver, Chen Yong, otherwise they might all die together.

As for Zhang Yuan, another ordinary person, Wang Hong didn't pay much attention to him.

In the face of those with special abilities, ordinary people, no matter how strong, have limited capabilities and are not worth fearing.

There is another challenge at this point: Wang Hong's hypnosis of Zhang Tao has a time limit.

Otherwise, if it were possible to hypnotize someone for an extended period of time, wouldn't Wang Hong become a god?

The few people who completed the task earlier were merely given a deeper impression of a certain matter; there's no guarantee that it will always be effective.

Not to mention that he has been controlling a person with superpowers all along.

Wang Hong speculated that he probably only had 10 minutes.

If someone can almost completely control another person in 10 minutes, it's easy to imagine how easy it would be for them to commit a crime if they were to use it for evil purposes!

Wang Hong didn't have much time, so his mind raced.

He must come up with a foolproof solution as soon as possible.

Zhang Tao's surveillance on him has been lifted, and Wang Hong can now open his eyes and look around when the two people in the front row aren't paying attention.

Having roughly determined his location, Wang Hong realized he was nearing the city center. He had passed through this road many times on his way to school and was quite familiar with it.

Based on the time elapsed after he was arrested and put in the car, it was almost time for him to leave the ring road.

In that case, let's wait a little longer.

Wait until you reach a low-speed zone or the car stops before taking action.

……

In the blink of an eye, a few more minutes had passed.

The car finally reached the low-speed zone.

After being hypnotized, Zhang Tao seemed to suddenly lose interest in the other two's conversation and became much quieter.

This made the two people in the front row feel very uncomfortable, and a brief silence fell over the car.

Fortunately, the car soon entered a low-speed zone, which gave the group more topics to chat about.

The car windows were also opened, and the men lit cigarettes and started smoking.

The cars were going fast and the wind was strong on the ring road, making smoking uncomfortable. Smoking with the windows closed was also unpleasant due to the fumes, so the group had no choice but to endure it until now.

After lighting a cigarette, Wang Hong secretly gestured for Zhang Tao to come closer.

He then pretended to reach out and open the car window on Wang Hong's side, sticking his head out.

Then Wang Hong quickly whispered a few words in his ear.

At this moment, Chen Yong suddenly said, "This guy has been unconscious for so long, something feels off. Should we do it again?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao immediately said, "No need, I'll see what can happen to him."

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on this person; it's related to Old Zhang's hefty reward!"

"Don't worry," Zhang Tao replied indifferently, then exhaled a deep puff of smoke and continued, "Let's find a secluded place to stop for a bit; I can't hold my pee any longer."

"Urgent need to pee?" Zhang Yuan, an ordinary person, looked puzzled. "You've always had healthy kidneys, haven't you? Why are you suddenly looking for a place to pee?"

"Everyone has to go to the bathroom sometimes," Zhang Tao replied, and he did look genuinely anxious.

"Alright, alright, let's go to the bus stop up ahead. There's something there that can block the view." The two had no choice but to agree to Zhang Tao's request.

Moreover, after Zhang Tao's reminder, the two of them also felt the urge to go to the toilet.

The car soon stopped at a bus stop.

It's not rush hour, so stopping at the platform shouldn't be a problem. Besides, it's a bit far from the city center, and there aren't many people waiting at this platform, so it's practically useless.

"You go first, we'll wait for you in the car, and then we'll switch when you come back." Chen Yong was still a bit cautious, not so careless as to leave Wang Hong alone in the car.

"Okay," Zhang Tao said cooperatively, then got off the bus and jogged to the back of the platform.

Even if you don't care, it's always good to have something to block it.

"This guy seems a bit off today," Chen Yong said to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan usually collaborates with these two quite often, but they work separately most of the time.

Chen Yong and Zhang Tao are usually partners, and they know each other very well.

When Zhang Tao fell silent, Chen Yong sensed something was amiss.

"I don't know if it's because of a bad mood or something else," Chen Yong said to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan didn't feel much when he heard this, after all, he didn't know Zhang Tao that well, even though their names sounded like brothers.

But this doesn't prevent them from becoming good friends.

"Maybe you're overthinking it? He seems pretty much the same as usual to me." So Zhang Yuan didn't have much doubt about it.

On the contrary, Chen Yong felt something was off about his decision to put Wang Hong into a deep sleep again.

Just as Chen Yong was about to make a move against Wang Hong, a sudden change occurred!
