The other rat got the hint and knelt down and said something slurred: "God...... Lord God, please ...... Cease...... Anger is relieved. ”

In the darkness, there was still silence, only the cold and biting night wind whined.

I looked at the disparity in size of the two rats, and judged that the tall rats were probably the leaders, so they seemed to be much better than the other rat in terms of IQ level and language mastery.

But it should be another short rat that was saved by Mamura, right?

I looked at the dwarf rats, and wondered a little about their call for gods, but when I thought about the power and magic of the spell, I was relieved. Such an omnipotent magic power is also a matter of course to be regarded as divine power, and it is understandable that the level of civilization is obviously no more than that of the feudal period, and the rats with magical powers regard humans with magical powers as gods.

But is this name really the spontaneous will of the rats? Or have the adults in the town seen themselves as gods and forced the rats to call humans that?

The answer is unknown, but I'm more inclined to the second option. Because those who possess power inevitably regard themselves as beings of a higher class than others, even if it is only a small position or wealth, these alone are enough to divide people into classes. In order to maintain their own superiority, the superior naturally needs to gain praise or flattery from the inferior, so that they can not only show the difference between each other, but also satisfy their own vanity, and the class is born from this.

I am not an individual who betrays class and race, and I have no intention of denying this kind of thinking of superiority, because this is the nature of human beings, and the world is inherently unequal. No matter how much I suppress my own inflated mentality, I always look at them with the eyes of the "first wisdom" of life, and I don't think that they are equal beings to myself, and even regard them as a danger to survival.

Is this true or wrong?

I can't tell the answer, or I don't have the right answer at all, so I'll just go with my nature for now.

As soon as the thought moved, I unblocked the sound of the two-headed rat, and at the same time turned the feeling of my mouth opening to speak into a message, which was transmitted to the dwarf rat with thought interference, and conveyed my words through its mouth: "I came to ask you a question. ”

Perhaps because of the difference in the structure of the mouth from that of humans, the voice was dry and hoarse, neither like the rat itself nor like mine, but it could be understood.

"Please ask the Divine Venerable to ask, the Trick Pill must know everything."

The self-proclaimed Demon Pill raised his head slightly, unable to see his expression clearly, but his tone was calm, and he didn't seem to be surprised by such a situation at all.

"This afternoon, there should be two other gods to ask you about something, tell me what they asked."

Despite the fact that the dwarf rat was horrified by the sound it made, its body swayed as if it wanted to get rid of something on it. It's just that under the manipulation of trust, it has still become a faithful microphone.

"Don't hide it from the Divine Venerable, at dusk, the two Divine Venerables asked us again about the corpse of a compatriot we encountered outside the Divine Domain, I am afraid that it is to know if there is any matter of the Young Divine Venerable leaving the Divine Domain without permission."

Yudomaru replied respectfully.

The corpses of compatriots?

I have always had a preconceived idea that one of the two rats must be the one saved by Mamura, but from this sentence just now, another possibility was revealed - the rat that was rescued by Mamura at that time, and I was met by the two rats afterwards, and unfortunately smelled the residual smell of Mamura, so I reported the incident to the town-samaru.

I have come up with such a conjecture, but whether it is or not still needs to be consulted. So I asked again, "Tell me about the events before and after you found the remains of the rats outside the town." ”

"I see."

Trick Pill tilted his head down, and was silent for a while before he began to describe: "On that day, I and a dozen of my subordinates were attacked by the enemy, and although we killed the enemy, we accidentally capsized the boat, so we had to land on the right side of the Kita-Tone River. At that time, there was a lot of wind and snow, and there were still enemies watching, so we waited and fled, and all the way down the North Tone River, which took eight or nine days, and finally I was the only one who waited for two to kill the remnants of the enemy. ”

"When we arrived outside the Divine Domain, the sky was already dark, and we thought that entering the Divine Domain at night would inevitably cause displeasure to the gods, so we planned to rest outside the boundary of the Divine Domain for one night, and then visit each other during the day. Later, I was looking for food and shelter in the woods, and found the corpse of a compatriot who had been injured and frozen to death in a tree hole not far from the boundary of the divine realm in the woods. We didn't dare to hide the situation, and when we met on the second day, we reported it to the gods. ”

After finishing speaking, it leaned down a little: "This is the case before and after, may I ask the Divine Venerable what else to ask." ”

I was silent, it had already explained the story in detail, but there were still some doubts, such as who was the enemy who attacked them? For example, what is the identity of the dead rat corpse?

Judging from Mamura's description, the dead rat suffered arrow wounds and back wounds, and was obviously chased and killed. So who hunted it down? Why was the leg and foot of the remaining subordinate of the Trick Pill injured like the rat that was saved by Mamura?

And can the rat's sense of smell really be sensitive enough to smell the scent left by it nearly ten days ago?

I had a vague feeling that I could get a completely different truth from asking these questions, but these obviously didn't matter to me, all I needed was to keep Mamura safe. Now that it's been a bit of a stretch, let's hypnosis if we ask another question.

"In the afternoon, after the two gods asked you again, how did they behave?"

I asked the last question I wanted to know, although Takashi Takeda had made it clear that he wanted to suppress this matter, but people's minds are complex and can easily change many times. So I have to be clear about his attitude and understand whether he made the decision from the bottom of his heart, which should be judged by the attitude and tone of his tone when he asked about the rat.

"At that time, the two gods asked us again about what happened, and then repeatedly asked us if they really smelled the scent of the young gods, and their tones were very suspicious. Although we defended ourselves many times, the Divine Venerable said that it was just an illusion of our waiting, and told me not to talk about it again in the future. But I don't dare to deceive the gods, I only dare to promise that if the gods don't ask, I won't mention this matter. If asked, we will answer them truthfully. ”

Listening to the words of the Trick Pill, I couldn't help frowning, his explanation was very skillful, and it seemed to be extremely scheming. He must have treated me as a faction different from Takashi Takeda, one faction wanted to suppress the matter, and the other faction wanted to get to the bottom of it. That's why he expresses his position and innocence through this statement - he must understand the concept of politics, and even the truth of left and right.

Unfortunately, it misguessed my identity, and I had no involvement in the town's political relations. And its behavior is good to say is left and right, and bad to say is riding. Wall. Pie, if you don't make a choice, often dies the fastest is this ride. Wall. Send. Of course, this is understandable for them, in the face of mana, these rats who worship humans as gods must have no power to resist, and are as fragile as ants.

And the idea that such a fragile life does not dare to please one side and does not dare to offend one side is also understandable. After all, no matter who they are, they can easily take their lives, and not offending any of them is obviously the first choice.

But understanding is one thing.,Whether you can like and accept it is one thing.,What's more, there's a hint of provocation in its words.,This makes me feel a little worse about the rat.,Plus I've confirmed that Takeda Takashi and the two do have the intention to suppress this matter.,So I don't plan to continue to grind.。

Let's try to use faith power to complete hypnosis?

I'm going to experiment with the idea of hypnotizing the real village, which I don't dare to use on humans easily, but I don't have the slightest psychological burden on the rats.

"Raise your head and tell me what you see?"

In my mind, I constructed the illusion of the bright moon hanging high in the sky, dispelling the darkness of the earth, and I transmitted this illusion into the minds of the two rats. The two-headed rat body was motionless, so he raised his head upwards and stayed for a while before answering: "The moon appeared in the sky, did the god use divine power?" ”

"Moon...... Moon, God...... Divine ...... Respect. ”

"Good."

I looked up at the sky, and the sky was still dark and overcast, like a black shroud over it. There was a chord in my heart that was plucked, and a sense of excitement in control rose and could not be suppressed: "Now...... You feel tired, your whole body is heavy, you want to sleep, but you're awake. ”

The voice was unhurried, with an unmistakable meaning, and it sounded like an ethereal Buddha sound from the sky, and it seemed to be a magic sound—was this really my voice?

This doubt came to me, but it quickly drowned out in excitement.

……

After a few minutes, the hypnosis was successfully completed, and then the two rats and cats who had been planted with psychological suggestion were tricked into returning to the townhouse under my orders, and at the same time forgetting the memories of tonight. Amid Ted's smug laughter and the sound of chewing food, I set out on my way home.

Dozens of minutes later, before returning home, I went around the fence wall in the backyard, shook the snow on the ground into a ball, and threw it towards the quiet window, and I lost it several times before hitting the window.

Soon, there was a slight click from the window, and a black head poked out of it and looked around. I waved at her, and stood on top of the stone I had used to come out, and after a few more moments, the stone finally rose and carried me back into the courtyard.

Tiptoeing open the door back into the house, I took off my shoes and carried them in my hands, wrapped them in the prepared cloth to prevent the dirt and snow from falling on the ground, and hid them in the storage room. After doing this, I came to the staircase, only to find Jing standing at the top of the staircase with a fluorescent light, the pale light reflecting her cheeks like a ghost.

"Coming back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

I replied softly, tiptoeing on the wooden staircase without making a sound.

"Folded, very happy?"

Jing's tone was very calm, but it seemed a little unhappy.

"Happy?"

I was stunned, thinking back to the unscrupulous use of trust just now, and the situation that should have been very troublesome was easily solved, and the thrill of being in control and the excitement of doing whatever I wanted was indeed called happy and pleasant.

Thinking about it, I quickly broke free from the residual excitement in my heart. Faith must not be used at will, it is forced just now, and it must be restrained in the future-I have repeatedly commanded my heart so that my mind will not become extreme.

After doing my mental work, there was no denying that I had been obsessed with faith and had developed pleasure, so I nodded and admitted, "There was some excitement, but it will be adjusted." ”

"That's fine. If it breaks, I'll be very sad. ”

Leaving such a sentence, Jing turned around and left. Watching her back disappear at the top of the stairs, a shadow cast over my heart, not only for the still, but also for myself.

Fearful of myself, I went back to my room to change my clothes and lay down under the covers.
