Chapter 381: Chapter 323: The Swindler’s Psychological Therapy

At Gospel Time 6 a.m. in the Vatican Mura Second Layer City of Senheiser District, Igula, hidden inside the closet, opened his eyes.

He pushed the closet door open and saw a bulging human shape on the bed, which was the “Igula statue” he had crafted with pillows, blankets, clothes, and a bit of imagination.

Though it wasn’t a Technique Spirit nor a Miracle, this little trick had saved his life multiple times. Had he left a note saying “Good evening” on the bed, it would have deceived all the midnight invaders into thinking that the Swindler had foreseen their arrival and had already escaped through unknown means. After cursing under their breath, they would hurriedly trace Igula’s escape route, while Igula hidden elsewhere could take the chance to flee.

After all, Igula was only a Swindler, not All-Knowing and All-Powerful, how could he possibly foresee all dangers? But that didn’t stop him from playing the role of “the man with all the answers” in his daily interactions, and a bit more caution and preparation usually planted seeds in others’ minds.

What truly turned falsehood into truth wasn’t the Swindler’s words but your own imagination.
