Shino looked at Airi twisting on the bed, making sounds that sparked the imagination.
His brow furrowed slightly. As a normal man, it was impossible for him not to be moved by this scene.
The next moment.
He directly pointed a finger at the center of Airi's brow and softly chanted the Six-Syllable Great Bright Mantra:
"Om, Mani, Padme, Hum..."
The solemn and sacred mantra echoed in the narrow room like a morning bell or an evening drum.
As the mantra sounded, a faint golden light appeared at Shino's fingertips, and pure Buddha Power flowed like a trickling stream, slowly injecting into Airi's body.
Airi's originally chaotic consciousness was like fog dispersed by sunlight, gradually becoming clear.
She felt a warm and gentle force pouring in from between her brows, quickly flowing through her limbs and bones, dispelling the heat and unusual impulses within her body.
It was like drinking a cup of iced plum soup in heat, or soaking in a warm spring in the bitter winter; every pore in her body opened up, bringing an indescribable comfort and ease.
Wherever that warm current passed, her originally out-of-control body gradually regained sensation. She could clearly feel the touch of every inch of her skin, the tremor of every muscle, and could even hear the sound of her own heartbeat.
"Mm..." Airi let out a comfortable soft hum. Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened, her blurred gaze gradually regaining clarity and refocusing on Shino's face.
However, having just escaped the hypnosis, her body was still somewhat weak, like a kitten that had just woken up—soft and lacking strength.
"Shu... Brother Shino?" Airi's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a hint of relief from surviving a disaster and a trace of lingering confusion.
"It's alright now." Shino withdrew his finger and looked at the recovered Airi, feeling relieved in his heart.
Airi blinked her eyes, seemingly remembering something. Her small face turned red in a flash, like a ripe apple, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She remembered her undignified behavior after being hypnotized, her body's reactions, and those shameful words... Heavens! What did I just do?!
Airi covered her burning face with both hands and buried her head deep in the quilt, not daring to look into Shino's eyes. Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz:
"Brother Shino, I... just now..."
"It's fine if you don't remember what happened just now."
Shino smiled faintly, his tone gentle, as if nothing had happened at all.
He could have chosen to be a beast just now.
But when he was prepared to make a choice, he vaguely saw the Innate Divine Beast, the Great River Crab God, raising its giant claws and issuing a death threat to him.
No minors allowed!!!
Airi could only be slowly raised; he would have to wait a few more years.
For Shino, he could afford to wait that little bit of time for a slow-burn grooming!
After dispelling Airi's hypnosis, Shino picked up that old smartphone. It felt cold to the touch, and even though he had cleaned it once with Buddha Flame, it still seemed to carry a greasy sensation.
He toyed with the phone, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"This thing is quite interesting."
Shino's finger slid lightly across the screen, opening the app named "Deep Hypnosis."
On the screen, four blood-red characters emitted an eerie glow, like a giant mouth waiting to devour someone.
Shino sneered. He wanted to see what kind of mystery this so-called "Deep Hypnosis" actually held.
He was a true Venerable Monk who possessed the Buddhist Dharma and was protected by the Vajra-Raja Manifestation. Why would he fear such heterodox paths?
Shino directly circulated the Buddha Power within his body. The old smartphone in his hand instantly disassembled, turning into individual parts floating in the air.
Akiizuki, watching from the side, had a face full of admiration.
He saw at a glance that in the center of the circuit board, there was a circular pattern drawn with some kind of black substance.
The lines of the pattern were twisted and strange, like crawling worms, emitting an uncomfortable aura.
"As expected, there's a trick."
Shino carefully observed the pattern and discovered it wasn't a simple doodle, but a miniature magic circle.
In the center of the magic circle was embedded a grain-sized black crystal, with black Qi faintly leaking from it.
Shino lightly touched the black crystal with his fingertip, and a cold aura instantly spread along his finger, as if trying to invade his body.
"Hmph, a mere trivial trick."
Shino snorted coldly, and the Buddha Power in his body circulated, instantly dispelling the cold aura.
He discovered that this magic circle could actually absorb a person's Essence, Energy, and Spirit, converting them into a special type of energy for the hypnosis software to use.
A person who used this software long-term would have their Essence, Energy, and Spirit gradually sucked dry, eventually becoming a slave to desire and completely losing themselves.
"Keeping this thing is only a disaster."
A cold light flashed in Shino's eyes. He was no saintly hypocrite; for such harmful things, he naturally would not show mercy.
Golden Buddha Flame ignited at his fingertips, directly burning the entire phone along with the magic circle inside into a pile of ash.
"Delivered an evil tool, obtained Karma +1."
The System's notification sound rang, and Shino's lips curved slightly upward.
"It seems this Karma is truly everywhere."
Shino sighed in his heart, realizing that this world was simply his blessed land.
At this moment, Airi's hesitant voice came from beside him:
"Brother Shino."
"I want to...".
