Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1381

Nina looked a bit embarrassed and tugged at one of her pigtails with a sheepish giggle. "They did mention that. The instructors said if I take this mouth of mine onto the battlefield, I would expose my position and be the first one to get my head blown off by a sniper." She stuck out her tongue, her eyes glinting with a sharp cleverness. "But do not worry, sir, I can also keep quiet. If you find me too loud, I can just use a Vagus Nerve Strike on myself."

Emmy froze, thinking she had misheard. "What did you say?"

Before she could even react, Nina raised two fingers and forcefully jabbed a spot right below her throat, right in the middle of her collarbone. The movement was fast, precise, and ruthless. It looked incredibly painful. Then, Nina opened her mouth, seemingly trying to speak. Only faint, breathless sounds came out. There really was no voice. She could only produce the airy vibration of her vocal cords without forming any actual words.

Emmy was completely dumbfounded. She stared with wide, disbelieving eyes, as if she were looking at an alien. Was the legendary Vagus Nerve Strike actually real?

An eerie silence instantly fell over the car. Without the chattering little sparrow, the quiet felt uncomfortable, even slightly oppressive.

"Alright," Emmy said with a helpless sigh. "You should probably just keep talking."

Hearing this, Nina immediately broke into a huge smile. She quickly tapped her neck twice. She cleared her throat, and her crisp voice instantly returned. "Yes, yes! I knew you were the best, Emmy. You would never find me annoying. You have no idea, but back at the academy, whenever the instructors got tired of me, they would just walk over and strike my vagus nerve. Sometimes they would leave me like that for a whole afternoon. It was suffocating." She leaned closer to Emmy, craning her neck and pointing to the spot like she was showing off a treasure. "Do you want to learn, Emmy? It is super useful! If you ever think I am talking too much, or if you get annoyed with Mr. Nelson... uh, I mean, if you ever want someone to shut up, just strike them!"

Emmy looked at her innocent expression and waved her hands repeatedly. "No, thank you, that will not be necessary."
