Chapter Eighty-Seven: Detecting Psionic Abilities

"Maybe I should use 'disenchantment' on you......" said the Mistress.

“…… Do you think I may have been controlled by the will? I understood the meaning of my mother's words, and I couldn't help but laugh a little. The player's own will will not be controlled by others due to game factors, but the player's control of the game character can, and the player's control over the game character will be partially or completely taken away. However, in that case, the player himself will be able to detect that something is wrong. I've heard of this situation before, where the player has been hit by the enchantment arcane "Charm Human", and the player cannot manipulate the character to do something unfavorable to the caster, or even oppose the caster to make a seemingly harmless request, but the player perceives something abnormal and can ask another caster for help, and use "Remove Magic" to break the enchanted state. Although a direct statement like "I was seduced by so-and-so" cannot be said through the mouth of a game character, the player's wisdom is infinite and can be understood by other means. In fact, if it is an NPC who is charmed, he will see the caster as a reliable companion and will not suspect it. So this is also an advantage for players over NPCs.

I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary right now.

The mistress was very cautious: "Don't underestimate the power of psychic abilities, some abilities that control the will are difficult for both the affected parties and others to detect. ”

Like hypnotism in reality? The suggestive effect of hypnotism can make the person receiving the suggestion normal in normal life, but in a certain environment, such as hearing or seeing a keyword or something, the previous suggestion will take effect, causing the person to enter a special state or act according to instructions. Suggestion in a hypnotic state can not only change the sensation, consciousness and behavior of the body, but can even affect the function of internal organs. If psychic abilities could have a similar effect, but even the hypnotic suggestion step could be omitted...... Indeed, casting a spell to "charm humans" only takes 4 seconds to cast the spell, and there is no need to face the recipient, as long as you hide to the side, the recipient may not be able to detect the casting process, and the ability to show is even the saving of reciting spells, making gestures, and preparing spell materials...... If my character has a similar ability, there's a good chance I won't be able to detect it until the anomaly appears.

Since "Dismantling Magic" is also on the paladin's list of spells, and I played the paladin during the open beta, I know the effect of this spell very well.

Using "Disarm" can terminate spells that are working on a creature or item, temporarily suppress a spell on a magic item, terminate a spell or its effects in an area, or counteract another caster's spell, and the spell that is dissolved is considered to be the end of the spell duration. "Disarming Magic" can remove the effects of supernatural abilities in the same way as disarming spells, but it cannot be counteracted, and can also affect the effects of quasi-spells in the same way as spells. However, spells with a duration of "Instant" cannot be removed, as the effect of the spell ends before the "Disarm" effect. For example, "Disenchantment" does not restore fire damage from Fireball, or restore petrified characters to flesh, as the mana has faded, leaving only charred flesh or normal stones.

If I fall for the ability to control my will, the effect is bound to last, so it should be safest to accept the "disenchantment" cast on me by the Mastermother, but ...... I don't know if "disenchantment" works. Yes, "disarming magic" works for spells, quasi-spells, and supernatural abilities, but what about psychic abilities? So far, all I've known is that the way abilities are cast is very similar to spells, and that psychic abilities have similar effects to sorcery but have very different sources of power...... So I'm not optimistic about the effect of the "disenchantment" cast by the Mistress.

Wait a minute...... Actually, I have a way of knowing if I've been hit by a psychic ability!

I was silent for a moment, showed myself a level zero ability, and nervously examined my whole body...... No! Not at all!

"What are you doing?" The mistress watched my actions in bewilderment.

“…… Can you see if there is a light on me? Even if it is extremely weak? "I asked my mother for confirmation.

"No, I don't see any light in you!" The mistress replied, and asked angrily, "What the hell are you messing with!" ”

I hurriedly and respectfully explained: "Dear Master, I just used the ability of 'Detect Psionic Energy' on myself, the function of this ability is to detect the aura emitted by the psionic energy, if I am affected by the ability to control the will, it will definitely continue to work on me, then the aura emitted by the ability will be detected. ”

I examined myself again and made sure I didn't find any light. He continued, "I thought that if I could affect me without even noticing, this ability would be very powerful, and it would emit at least moderate or strong psionic aura under the influence of 'Detection Psionic Energy,' but not even a faint aura has been detected right now...... So I don't think any psychic abilities are working on me. ”

After some analysis, there was no joy on the face of the housemother, but her tone was cold: "You are right...... If you really don't have the will to be controlled. ”

I couldn't help but be speechless.

While I know I'm exhibiting "detecting psionic powers" on myself, I don't see any psychic abilities working on me. However, this did not convince the main mother.

Psychic abilities are not revealed with spells, gestures, and spell materials, or with prayers and emblems of faith like arcane spells...... So, if I was controlled by my will, I didn't show "detection psychics" to myself as I explained to my mother, but just made a fuss, and no one else could confirm it.

It's a perfect detection method, but I know it myself, but I can't trust anyone!

I suddenly had a feeling that everyone in the world was drunk and I was sober, and I was about to sigh about it, but suddenly I found that the eyes of the master mother were getting cold, and her hands were on her waist, and on the slender waist, five serpentine creatures were sizzling, constantly churning and writhing. Suddenly, all the feelings immediately turned into floating clouds!

Even a priest, as a high-ranking person's master mother, does not need to use divine arts, but his hand-to-hand combat ability is far above that of a warrior of my level, not to mention that I am just a spiritual warrior whose hand-to-hand combat ability has been weakened.

I have no doubt that if I make the slightest movement, the five snake-headed whips wrapped around my mother's waist will roar out, and the sharp fangs on the snake's kiss will bite my body as soon as possible, infusing me with spider toxin!
