Chapter 131: Illusion
The boots made contact with the floor, and the sound of stomping echoed through the cell's corridor.
The arraignator was accompanied by the jailer to the prison where Neam was being held, but before that he could pass through Charlotte's cell.
Charlotte estimated the time, leaned on the iron window and shouted hey, the interrogator stopped in surprise, he probably didn't expect that someone would dare to make trouble.
"This guy is new here. The jailer hurriedly said, "He probably can't figure out the situation yet." ”
The interrogator nodded, he was a guy who had a hard time telling his age. With a shaved head and a scar and wrinkles on his face, he looks a little old, but if you look closely at his skin, it is rough but very firm.
He was tall and muscious, and there was an inexplicable chill in his eyes, a look of disregard for life, making him seem as formidable as if he were independent of all life forms. That kind of forest cold is different from Sylvia's detachment, but indifference.
"Hey!" Charlotte's fingers got stuck in the steel wire mesh of the iron window, shaking the mesh vigorously, "I'm innocent!"
There is a forbidden demon barrier in the prison, and although Charlotte can find a way to break it, it will cause too much noise. Now he can only use the power of the Vientiane Eye to charm this person, and when he can't use spells, his effectiveness is greatly reduced. Therefore, he had to deliberately obtain the attention of the arraignator in this way.
The interrogator gave him an indifferent look, and Charlotte turned on the Vientiane Eye, and her pale blue eyes (Eleni's deceptive mask had changed her appearance) fainted in the depths of red gold. The arraignator was in a trance for a moment, shook his head, but continued to move on.
"It's not your turn yet. He threw down these words and led the jailer to Neuham's cell, but with imperceptible doubt in his tone.
Charlotte exhaled and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead. In the absence of spells, Vientiane's illusionary ability is also greatly reduced, and when trying to invade the Inquisitionist, Charlotte also found that this person is not weak, although he is not necessarily a mage, but he is definitely a good professional.
Just a second of staring at each other can't completely confuse the arraignator, but it doesn't matter, Charlotte has taken the opportunity to erode the jailer's sea of consciousness, and at the same time planted a seed in the sea of consciousness of the arraignator.
"Are you a demon?" came the voice of the arraignator next to him, who seemed to be talking to Neham.
"Why? is it unusual?" this was not like Neham's character, but this time he said something provocative, just to completely anger the interrogator.
"Hmph. The interrogator sneered, "The stench of brimstone, I have reason to suspect that you have something to do with this raging plague." ”
"You're racist, and I'm just being corrupted by the power of the abyss. Until then, I was a real human being. ”
"The power of the abyss eats not only the body, but also the mind. The arraignator said again, and then ordered the jailer, "Take him out and shackle him." ”
"Yes!"
The cell door opened, and after a moment of movement, Neham was escorted by the jailer through Charlotte's cell, with the arraignator behind him. Charlotte was still lying in front of the window, her eyes looking out of the cell through the small bars.
Neham, who was shackled with silver on his hands and feet, nodded to Charlotte through the bars as he passed in front of Charlotte's cell. The latter noticed that he did change into a pair of black-rimmed glasses, which looked less refined and more bookish.
To be honest, it's much more pleasing to the eye.
"Look at what!" Neuham yelled at Charlotte, "Haven't you seen a demon?!"
His left hand was pale blue, and there were scarlet blasphemy patterns on it, which looked hideous and terrifying.
Charlotte threw her neck back as if she was really startled, and then blushed as if she was annoyed, and scolded, "Devil's lackey!
"What did you say!"
Bang –
Neham slammed against the Charlotte door, and the two stared at each other through the window. The jailer originally wanted to scold, but his spirit was in a trance, and he actually stood there in a daze and did not move. The arraignator snorted coldly, drew a whip and threw it at Neam's back, Neham screamed and ducked to the side, Charlotte gloated and laughed.
The arraignator was displeased, kicked Neam, who was dodging to the side, and looked into the cell behind bars, his eyes faint with anger.
"Be honest with me!"
He scolded through the bars, but saw the man inside smiling proudly. The arraignator was slightly stunned, and just looked at each other, but the seeds in the sea of consciousness took root and sprouted.
He was in a trance again, his face gloomy, and he suddenly said to the jailer, "Take him out too." ”
The jailer, who had already been seduced, nodded, and this time, they didn't even shackle Charlotte. Instead, he locked Charlotte in the most ordinary shackles, and escorted Neam and Charlotte out of the cell one after the other.
With a thud, the iron door of the prison closed. There was silence in the cell for a while, and then the prisoners whispered.
"What's going on? I actually interrogated two people at once. ”
"Are you paying attention? The Leonard mage in the back isn't wearing the forbidden shackles yet. ”
"Is there any insider trading?"
"It can't be an illusion, right?"
"What kind of illusion can be used in the Forbidden Demon Enchantment!"
The mages exploded, unaware of such a dramatic turnaround. In fact, not to mention these mages, even Neam is secretly afraid in his heart now.
Silently defrauding people's senses and consciousness is simply the most terrifying ability in the world.
"Demons," Neam muttered, .......
"Shhhh ”
"What are you muttering?" said the arraignator who walked behind him coldly, "and you'd better be honest with me." ”
Neam immediately understood what Charlotte meant, Charlotte's illusion seemed terrifying, but in fact, it could not really go to the point of distorting other people's perceptions in an instant. He just leaves a seed in the other person's subconscious, and then lets the seed take root and sprout, leaving the recipient to make up the rest of the things on their own.
If you want your enemies to become your best friends in an instant, that's something Sylvia can do.
The two were escorted outside the cell by the interrogator and the jailers, and soon a team of soldiers took over. The arraignator walked along, turning left and right, to a somewhat old property far from the city center. At this point, the soldiers stopped and were replaced by several unidentified figures in thick cloaks.
However, judging from the names of the soldiers for these cloaked men, they should all be mages, and most likely the mages of the lighthouse.
"Huh, why are there two?" asked the mage who was guarding in front of the old courtyard during the handover.
The arraignator was stunned by his question, as if he hadn't even figured out the question himself. But the most powerful thing about Charlotte's illusion is that it always allows the recipient to make up a plausible background and excuse on their own. In other words, the seed is planted, and the rest is left to the recipient to deceive himself.
"There's something wrong with this guy, I'm going to interrogate him separately. ”
The arraignator quickly made up an excuse, his status was obviously higher than that of the cloaked men, and as soon as these words came out, those mages all showed sudden expressions, and then looked at Charlotte one by one with sympathy in their eyes.
They, including the arraignator himself, probably thought that Charlotte had been brought in for the sake of a personal vendetta.
