God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1215 - 351: Prisoner’s Dilemma (Part 2)

Both doubts seemed to have plausible explanations, yet neither was certain enough, leaving Yan Huan indecisive.

"Xiao Huan, I just want to know if you like me...

"As in between a man and a woman, not like a sister... even just a little bit..."

However, the very next second, Ye Shiyu, unaware of Yan Huan's internal struggle, spoke softly with the exact same words as in the game-over CG.

Here it comes!

Yan Huan's heart froze in an instant, and he looked at Ye Shiyu, who was tilting her head as if seriously asking a question, like facing a great enemy.

According to the hints in the game-over CG, Ye Shiyu very likely had a "see-through hack."

So she knew he was lying.

If he said "I like you," she would hypnotize him, leading to a bad ending.

Then...

What if he told the truth?

"..."

Yan Huan's eyes trembled slightly, looking at Ye Shiyu as always.

Now, he didn't have any more game-over CG attempts, so he couldn't know her reaction to the truth.

But his instincts told Yan Huan that answering truthfully would also lead to hypnosis and a bad ending.

This...

A choice of two, and either leads to death?!

At the moment of life or death decision-making, Yan Huan silently raised his eyes to look at Ye Shiyu.

Being with her for a long time, Yan Huan could actually somewhat understand her gaze.

At this moment, her eyes reflected Yan Huan's figure, with a hint of...

Anxiety, sincerity?

It seemed she genuinely just wanted an answer, that's all.

This gaze was exactly like Ye Shiyu's before she turned her face in the game-over CG...

"Xiao Huan..."

As Yan Huan remained silent, Ye Shiyu spoke again.

"Ah?"

"Xiao Huan, just tell me what you really think... it's okay..."

As she said this, she pressed her lips together.

"..."

Don't rush, Yan Huan still had a backup plan!

Because of Sakuragi's matter, he once never wanted to use this ability...

Demon's Mind Reading!!

Previously, he even received a reward that guaranteed three truths!

With this, his life should be spared, right?

"Hehe..."

As Yan Huan looked directly into Ye Shiyu's eyes, an imaginary demonic laugh suddenly echoed.

Then, the demon moved closer to Yan Huan's ear, and its voice began to distort and change...

Until it turned into a voice identical to Ye Shiyu's.

"Deception... Hypnosis..."

"Sakuragi Hitomi... Aria... An Le..."

"Bai Yi... Useless..."

The three sentences were all choppy and unclear.

No...

Have you, too, been hypnotized, demon?!

The only slightly useful thing might be the first sentence...

"If Xiao Huan continues to lie, then hypnotize him..."

Yan Huan speculated these words.

When Yan Huan raised this suspicion, the demon's voice beside him helplessly changed again, turning into Yan Huan's own voice,

"Perhaps it's because of the modifier's side effects that her voice is so quiet it can't be heard..."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan was speechless, yet he remembered the introduction of Demon's Mind Reading,

[Demon's Mind Reading]

[Three times a week, look into a woman's eyes and silently say her name three times, and the demon will listen to her thoughts and relay to you three of her most restless inner voices at the moment]

Got it.

The principle is quite clear.

Not getting the wanted answer, Yan Huan silently labeled the demon on the same level as Miao Sauce, the "boiling fog" label.

Thus, he had to rely on experience and intuition to judge.

According to his impression of Ye Shiyu, choosing A "lie and say like" or B "truthfully say don't like" would lead to hypnosis, so he had to maneuver to avoid the bad ending.

But...

Yan Huan suddenly recalled the time he encountered Ye Shiyu when visiting the principal's office.

At that time, he also suspected that Ye Shiyu would instantly hypnotize him.

But she didn't...

"..."

After hesitating for a second, Yan Huan still didn't dare to gamble, or rather...

He didn't dare to trust Ye Shiyu.

The game-over CG, its sound was still lingering.

If it really happened, there would be no medicine for regret.

Thinking of this, Yan Huan once again put on a mask with a perfect expression.

On the surface, he slightly froze and murmured,

"Sister Shiyu, honestly... I don't know either..."

"Don't... know?"

"Yes... I don't know if I see Sister Shiyu as a sister, or as a woman, or perhaps both? Moreover, I don't just not know how I feel; I also think Sister Shiyu doesn't know how you feel about me either."

"Me...?"

"Yes... Sister Shiyu, since we're this far into the conversation, I might as well be honest with you..."

Yan Huan took a deep breath, looking quite nervous, and withdrew his hand from Ye Shiyu's.

Then, he looked at Ye Shiyu and continued,

"Sometimes, I can feel the charm of you, Sister Shiyu, as a woman that attracts me. But most of the time, what I feel from you is your familial affection..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu was slightly stunned,

"Familial... affection? But..."

"Yes. Sister Shiyu, do you remember when Aunt Ye first brought me home? At that time, you were worried I'd take Aunt Ye away, so you treated me coldly..."

"... for that, I'm very sorry, Xiao Huan. But now, I've already... changed, I won't be like that anymore."

However, Yan Huan shook his head,

"It's not about blaming Sister Shiyu... but perhaps you haven't changed, at least not towards others."

"...What do you mean?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Sister Shiyu, haven't you noticed that the way you feel about me now is similar to how you felt about Aunt Ye before?"

"..."

Yan Huan gave a helpless smile, intertwining his fingers,
