*Chapter 32: Silver Wolf: Why Didn't You Just Hypnotize Me? !*

It's...
It's going to be seen !

Judging by how her fingers moved directly towards the virtual screen after being controlled, the controlled person definitely shared vision with the controller.

How could this be? ! Doesn't this mean this person can casually scroll through my browsing history? !
This is an invasion of privacy ! Deserves the death penalty !

"What did you do to me? ! That person isn't here anymore, how can you still... my Aether Editing? ! If you have guts, let's fight one-on-one !" Silver Wolf mentally raged, though unable to speak.

As if knowing what Silver Wolf was thinking, Jiang Liang spoke:
"Heh. He indeed can share Silver Wolf's perspective. After using the Key of Erosion, he can start observing everything from another person's viewpoint. The first thing he saw was the chat interface in the top right corner."

It was too conspicuous.

When Silver Wolf uncharacteristically stood motionless, Jiang Liang began to suspect she still had a backup plan. But he didn't expect her backup plan was to directly send a message calling for backup.

So standing still wasn't lag, it was being completely out of options.

"Don't you have any other means to escape from here? Can you only have your companion come help you? As a member of the Stellaron Hunters, is that the only trick you know?" Jiang Liang taunted through Stelle's mouth.

When you have overwhelming power tiers, who still practices those things that don't even make the training leaderboards? !
Even now, Silver Wolf was still 嘴硬 (zuǐyìng - stubborn/talking tough) and complaining internally.

She watched her own fingers slowly scroll upwards, feeling panic flood her like an icy tide.

No !

This feeling was like having her most private background data being arbitrarily browsed by a malicious administrator account.
It was even more unbearable than the mere punishment of death.

Damn it ! This cheater not only locked my permissions but also wants to read my chat history? ! What kind of sick abuse of admin privileges is this? !

"Oh? I see. So it wasn't that you didn't want to leave just now, but you couldn't leave, huh?"
Herta's mind worked quickly. Combining Silver Wolf's previous words and the current context, she reached a conclusion.

Silver Wolf hadn't considered not leaving; she couldn't leave for a specific reason. And she was currently in a very peculiar state.
Combining that with the 'account stealing' reference and the unwilling expression on her face...

She's being controlled by Stelle now !
Where did this little thing get this ability? ! First fighting a Stellaron Hunter, then controlling them? !

Silver Wolf was in no mood to deal with Herta's sarcastic remarks. All her attention was focused on her communication device.

The chat history between Kafka and Silver Wolf didn't contain anything explosive. Most of it was asking about upcoming missions, whether to bring back small gifts, and various chats during mission completion.
Nothing compared to browsing history.

She watched helplessly as her fingers, under that external force, clumsily yet accurately tapped open the input box.

Cold sweat instantly beaded on her forehead, trickling down her cheeks.

Silver Wolf felt her heart skip a beat. Her last trump card, her final hope, was exposed like this before this cheater.

No, this is worse than a cheater ! This is like someone using wallhacks and aimbots ! Seeing her action plan, her weaknesses, all clearly ! Shame, anger, and a sliver of despair from having her distress signal intercepted by the enemy...

Now he's opened the input box, what's he going to do? !

Silver Wolf felt her heart was about to leap out of her chest. She watched her disobedient fingers, under Jiang Liang's control, slowly yet precisely tapping on the virtual keyboard, the speed increasing as if he was getting used to controlling another's body.

"Stop ! Stop it, you bastard !" she screamed with all her might, but soon she couldn't even speak, only watching helplessly as the line of text appeared in the dialogue box:

Everything's fine. Just ran into a little trouble earlier, already solved. No need to come over.

Such a small line of text, yet the damage was immense.

Ding.

With a soft chime, the message was sent.

Almost immediately, Kafka's reply popped up in the dialogue box. Just a simple yet powerful symbol: ?

Kafka is suspicious !
A wave of joy surged through Silver Wolf's heart.

Great !

She let out a suppressed cheer internally. This sudden joy almost overwhelmed all her negative emotions. Anger and humiliation were still there, but now a strong sense of hope, like grasping a life-saving straw, took precedence.

She knew Kafka too well. That woman was meticulous, observant; the slightest anomaly in a few words could arouse her suspicion.

Silver Wolf: No need to trouble you, Kafka. I just got out of that passage blocking Aether Editing. I'm fine.

Silver Wolf was speechless. But what terrified her more was the content that followed.

Silver Wolf: I've already found the emergency logout passage. It's a bit roundabout, but I can handle it myself. You don't need to come over. I'll contact you when I get out. Don't worry ! I'm Silver Wolf, after all !

The message was sent.

Silver Wolf's heart sank completely.

Using her own name and confidence to increase credibility... it was shameless to the extreme !
This really was something she would say.

Kafka: Since you're out of danger, and typing is troublesome, how about we just video call? Let me see with my own eyes if my cute little Silver Wolf is safe now. If it's inconvenient for you to answer the video call right now, then never mind.

After sending this message, a video call request immediately came through.

Video call !

These two words exploded like thunder in Silver Wolf's mind.

Kafka is indeed Kafka ! Her probing methods are direct and effective !
A video call was the most direct way to confirm her status.

If she could answer, perhaps she could convey a distress signal through her eyes or micro-expressions.
If she couldn't answer, it would directly tell Kafka she didn't even have the ability to accept a video call right now. Either outcome seemed beneficial to her !

An ecstatic joy surged through Silver Wolf's heart again, even overshadowing her previous unease.

She felt her heart pounding. She almost wanted to nod immediately in agreement, but her body couldn't even make the smallest movement.

This strong desire contrasted sharply with her current helplessness, making her even more desperate to break free from this damned control.

In this situation, she could only watch as her own finger moved towards the green 'accept' button.

A very bad premonition suddenly arose in Silver Wolf's heart.
Because he pressed the accept button almost without any thought.

Excluding the possibility that the opponent was an idiot, it meant one thing:
The opponent possessed absolute confidence.

After connecting, before Kafka in the video could speak, Silver Wolf heard her own voice:
"Hi, Kafka !"

She saw herself on the screen, the corner of her mouth slightly tilted, smiling.

Silver Wolf felt like the sky was falling.
