Herd psychology refers to the behavior of individuals who are influenced by the behavior of external crowds, and show behavior patterns that conform to public opinion or the majority in their own perception, judgment, and understanding.

As a member of a group, it is rare for someone to remain absolutely calm and independent, not to be affected by others around them or the larger environment.

As the Parliament and the Speaker pardon the alien boy who had caused a horrific disaster on his home planet, the entire expeditionary force camp was in an unprecedented boil.

Everyone, consciously or unconsciously, was debating and even attacking each other in a way that was what made the top brass act so crazy and stupid.

In particular, in this disaster, a respected parliamentarian was killed, and even a complete body was not preserved.

No one realizes that after achieving their goal, the mastermind behind the scenes still leaves quietly and throws the mess to the parliament to deal with slowly.

Although the Darents' characteristic rationality did not allow such protests and debates to turn into riots, as the saying goes, once the seeds of distrust are planted, they will one day bear the fruit of betrayal.

......

On the other side, the two boys who had taken the Queen of the Anyat hostage had completely taken control of the buildings in the most central area of the Holy City.

In a place that was once filled with a large number of servants and guards, there were now only three people left, and those who were supposed to take care of the queen were only allowed to enter briefly each day when they were feeding and cleaning.

I have to say that this feeling of being in the enemy's lair and always having to be on guard is really not good.

In order to prevent the queen from secretly making small moves, the two must take turns to ensure that one of them is always awake, while always keeping a close eye on the queen's every move, even the mental power that she radiates from time to time at that time.

Feeling the exhaustion and sleepiness caused by the lack of sleep for a long time, Luke couldn't help but yawn and asked without looking back, "How's it going, where is the plan?

"Don't worry, be patient, you'll be fine. The boy rubbed his eyebrows in response.

"Patience? That's what you said when I asked you a week ago. Please, if we keep going like this, we won't have to wait for those Darrants to come to the door, we'll have to be killed by those goddamn guards outside. Luke rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Although these days, the queen has been very cooperative, and there is no intention of disobedience at all.

But he dared to use his head to guarantee that whenever there was a chance, this "queen worm" with an unusually large lower body would not hesitate to kill the killer and regain his freedom.

What's even more terrifying is that with the lack of sleep, the two began to be affected by the queen's ubiquitous spiritual power, and even each other's figures would occasionally appear in dreams.

This is not a good sign!

Once this goes on for a long time, when the other party can't keep it, it will suddenly invade the spiritual world.

Just as the boy opened his mouth as if to say something, the queen, who had closed her eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened her eyes, stared at the rightmost corner of the hall, and shouted loudly: "There are intruders!

"Intruder?!"

Luke's nerves tensed instantly, and he stood by the Queen's side as fast as he could, glancing at the entrance to the outside.

In less than a minute, a large number of heavily armed guards swarmed in.

All of a sudden, even the air became solidified.

"Who's—who's there!" the boy narrowed his eyes, cautiously tentatively.

However, judging by his movements, he was not so much guarding against the invisible intruders as he was guarding against the guards armed to the teeth.

God knows what kind of orders the queen gave through the spiritual network.

Perhaps this was a farce from beginning to end, a play to test their reactions.

But soon, the boy overturned his guesses.

I saw a slender black shadow slowly walking out of the dim corner, and said with a smile: "Relax, don't be so nervous, I'm not an enemy." I am a member of the Shadow Guard, and I have come to convey a word on the orders of the leader, and the time is ripe. ”

"Are you sure?" Luke's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what his ears were hearing.

"That's right! This is your pardon statement. Next, the leader wants you to follow the plan you have made. In return, this is a part of the secret about the stone pillar, which can be handed over to you first. As he spoke, the shadow threw over a stone densely packed with slow symbols.

Unlike the symbols on the stone pillars, which take a lot of time to decipher, these symbols, although they have never been seen, immediately turn back into an abstract concept that can be understood when touched by a finger.

You don't have to ask to know that it's a wonderful reading magic, created from the moment it was created so that more people can read and understand.

But at the moment, the boy obviously didn't bother to read the contents of the stone, and replied bluntly: "Understood! But there is a premise, once we find that our lives are threatened, we will definitely choose to flee as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, this is your right and freedom. Also, please don't be so hostile. We do things in a completely different way from the Council, and it won't be long before you get to realize that. ”

As he said this, the shadow showed extraordinary excitement and excitement, as if victory was within reach for him.

Soon, as the Shadow Guard member left, the hall returned to its previous tranquility.

The guards who rushed in also slowly withdrew at the Queen's behest.

When all the irrelevant personnel were gone, the queen asked in a meaningful tone, "Who was that intruder? What is the Shadow Guard? It seems that your relationship with the Durents is much more complicated than I expected, isn't it?"

"Ah, our relationship is a bit complicated. But you don't have to worry about that, we'll take care of it ourselves. The boy pursed the corners of his mouth, a smile on his face.

As the saying goes, power is truth!

At present, he is holding the other party's life in his hands, so naturally he does not need to be as cautious as when they first met, and he is not obliged to answer the questions raised by the other party.

Luke, on the other hand, snatched the mysterious stone from the caring, and his brain worked wildly, reading the massive amount of information stored inside.

It took about ten minutes or so for him to recover from his concentration, and he cracked his mouth and smiled and muttered to himself, "Oh - this is really a great piece of information......
