Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 400: The Truth

Lucas didn't bother with the idiot behind him.He genuinely felt this idiot was even more useless than Huang Kaiyu.

Huang Kaiyu attempted to assassinate Jiang Ran and failed, but at least he escaped.

You disgraceful piece of trash, still calling yourself a 'Sunny Cheerful Big Boy.'

Utterly useless.

Not only did you fail, but you also got yourself handcuffed here.

Therefore, he couldn't even be bothered to look back.

Instead, he continued speaking to Bai Xiaoliang, "I could have very easily hired a killer to murder you, your girlfriend, your entire family."

"After all, I've earned a lot of money over these years, what you'd call 'dirty money.'"

"But I didn't. Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Bai Xiaoliang said, "I know. Because I could also very easily hire a killer to murder you. After all, I'm not short on money either. And even if I, personally, amounted to nothing and had no money, I still have my hospital director father."

Lucas twisted his neck. "Do you really have to bring up your dad right now?"

Bai Xiaoliang said, "Fine, let's get back on track. Although both of us want to eliminate the other..."

"We both hope to do it personally, using hypnosis, or methods related to it, to settle this."

"Just like this person you brought. When he said he had a mental illness, I knew he was your former patient."

Lucas applauded. "Well said, and well analyzed. We truly are worthy of being senior and junior brothers. Knowing each other inside out, sharing a tacit understanding."

"But next time, let's not play games like hiding under the bed."

Lucas was wearing a yellowish-brown trench coat today.

It looked somewhat like a Sherlock Holmes-style one.

His right hand reached into his right pocket.

From inside, he pulled out a black ball.

Staring at this black ball, he said, "Hypnosis requires a medium. It's impossible to hypnotize someone without any contact whatsoever."

"Among these, language, actions, and sound are very common hypnotic mediums."

"Of course, using hypnotic incense like this that can induce hallucinations is a more direct method."

"Your junior brother here is untalented. Over the years, I've thrown a lot of the money I earned into researching this kind of incense and have achieved some minor results."

"Next, let us, senior and junior brothers, together experience this incense of mine, which I haven't even named yet!"

With that, Lucas fiercely threw the black ball in his hand onto the ground.

Instantly, the black ball exploded with a *bang*. As it exploded, countless white powder, like a virus, frantically devoured and spread through the surrounding air.

Attempting to fill the entire master bedroom with their presence.

"Mutual destruction, is it... You really are..."

Bai Xiaoliang looked at Lucas, who was already within the white powder. Lucas's eyes, affected by the powder, had turned blood-red.

He sighed. The next moment.

The white powder also reached him.

His nose uncontrollably took a breath.

"Let me see just how powerful the hallucinations created by your incense are..."

...

Four police officers arrived at the door of Unit 901, Building 10, Huatuan Baoju.

They pushed against the security door of 901;it wouldn't open. They immediately knocked, "Is anyone home?"

Soon, the security door opened.

But the person who opened the door left the four police officers stunned.

The person who opened the door for them was wearing a gas mask, the kind you see in bioshock games.

Not only was this person wearing one himself, but he was also pushing a cardboard box containing several more gas masks.

"I am the boyfriend of the person who called the police. But before you come in, you'd better put these on."

One of the four police officers, a young cop, was very puzzled. "Why?"

The man wearing the gas mask said, "Because there's hypnotic incense inside. If you don't wear this, you'll be affected and easily start hallucinating."

The young cop, clearly disbelieving and disdainful, prepared to enter without wearing the gas mask.

But the oldest officer among the four sternly reprimanded and stopped him.

This old officer seemed to have experienced something.

He not only put one on himself but also made the other three officers put them on.

After putting them on.

The four officers followed the man to the master bedroom.

Arriving at the master bedroom, they found the window open. Some residual white powder drifted in the air of the room.

At this moment, there were quite a few people in the master bedroom.

Three others, also wearing gas masks identical to the man who opened the door for them.

Besides them, there were two people lying unconscious on the floor.

One had the face of a Hua Country person.

The other had the face of a white man.

Both were quite young, in their twenties or thirties.

"What happened to them?"

The old officer crouched down and examined them.

The man wearing the gas mask was Bai Xiaoliang.

He said, "These two men broke in, attempting to murder my girlfriend."

The old officer didn't say anything.

Because he had discovered a claw hammer on the floor, and the waist pouch on the Hua Country man dressed as a plumber.

Besides that, he also discovered that the white man actually had a pistol at his waist.

It even had bullets inside, clearly not a toy gun.

"If that's not enough, my girlfriend's home has surveillance footage that can prove it."

Bai Xiaoliang prepared to take out his phone, ready to hand over the footage that could verify the reliability of his statement to the police.

Actually, upon discovering the claw hammer, and especially the pistol.

These four officers could pretty much confirm the situation.

However, the old officer still had some doubts. "I'm curious. The other side had a gun. So why is it them lying on the floor, not you?"

"Also, do you know the suspects? What is their relationship to you?"

Bai Xiaoliang said, "My name is Bai Xiaoliang. I am a doctor at Nancheng City's Red Leaf Psychiatric Hospital. His name is Lucas;he is my junior brother..."

Bai Xiaoliang briefly described their relationship and that they had a conflict. As for the nature of the conflict itself, he did not disclose it.

After introducing their relationship, he explained why the armed and seemingly stronger party was the one on the floor, and not them.

It turned out that on the day they fell out.

Bai Xiaoliang had hired several private detectives to tail Lucas, monitoring his every move.

If it were the usual Lucas, he might have noticed some clues, something amiss.

But during that period, he was already under the influence of hypnosis, frequently experiencing hallucinations, which prevented him from discovering he was living under surveillance.

Therefore, when he met with Huo Yun.

And Huo Yun was purchasing tools for the crime all over Nancheng City's urban area.

Bai Xiaoliang knew immediately and guessed something, though he couldn't yet determine who the target would be.

But he knew Lucas too well.

If he were Lucas, who would he target first?

Therefore, Bai Xiaoliang arrived at his girlfriend's home in advance.

And made preparations in advance.

That Huo Yun, after entering, saw the humidifier in the living room.

What it sprayed wasn't water mist.

But a hypnotic incense developed by Bai Xiaoliang himself.

And this incense was quite potent, taking effect extremely quickly.

Therefore, after Huo Yun broke in, he was already entangled in a struggle between hallucination and reality.

Similarly, Lucas, after entering, also became entangled in the struggle between hallucination and reality.

Truth became false, falsehood became truth.

The most difficult lies to discern are those half-true and half-false.

The incense Lucas himself developed was the same.

Unlike other incenses that create pure hallucinations, it was completely different. It also made people sink into a mix of fantasy and reality, utterly unable to distinguish or realize they had been affected.
