After Anton left, the atmosphere in the room became a little colder.

The word "atmosphere" is used because there are more than one person in the room. In addition to Kolotia, Biffin was also in the room. Using the special talents of the race, Biffin can do things like "being invisible in the field of vision of humanoids".

Not optically "invisible", but "invisible" in the nature of "illusion".

Or it's not that you can't "see", but because Biffin's "sense of storage" has been reduced to the extreme, so it has achieved such an effect similar to invisibility.

On the surface, Biffin looks like an ordinary human, but he is actually a dream demon, and this race itself is the most proficient in psychological manipulation among the demon races, and with the bonuses he gets from Kolotia and "Shadow", it is not very difficult to do this kind of thing.

Kolotia and Biffin, one is good at feeling and reading each other's feelings, the other is good at manipulating and changing each other's minds, and when ordinary players appear in front of them, it basically means that there is no freedom of thought at all, and if they have such will, they can play with any player who is not strong enough without the other party realizing it.

This is, of course, an ability bestowed by an unknown creature who calls itself "Shadow". Corlotia can now feel its presence from time to time, and is even able to communicate with it through guòbefen as an intermediary.

As far as the "shadow" itself is concerned, it seems to have used some special tricks to hook some of its processing logic on the interface of the "system" to Kolotia.

Today's Kolotia can't fully and thoroughly understand the thoughts of others, but she can get a general idea. In this way, face-to-face conversations with others become very uncomfortable - although you can comfort yourself with the words "the other person's thinking process is not important, and the final conclusion of thinking is what you really need to care about", but in the face of suspicion, suspicion, and resistance, the emotional discomfort is still uncomfortable, and you can't deceive yourself at all.

The relationship between "friends" is so fragile that the slightest bit of trust will break, and the superficial effort is no less than that of strangers, and the conversation is full of temptation.

In contrast, only a child like Biffin can make people feel more or less comfortable. Although occasionally some very bad and red-faced scenes would flash in her mind, there was no concealment or selfishness at all.

Of course, it is inevitable that she will become like this, and Befen's birth has given her such a form. Maybe slowly her soul can grow to the point where she can normally and independently exist without relying on any external support, but this is also a very distant and anxious thing.

Will it become lonely then?

"Well, forget it, no matter how much you think about this kind of thing, there will be no conclusion." Kolotia let out a long stretch, "It's not easy for me to go out right now, so I'll leave the investigation to you again, Biffin." ”

Although the curse of the cat's ears has been removed, with Kolotia's status at this time, it is really not suitable to run around the street to investigate. In contrast, it is more appropriate to sit in one's own room and contact others through guò letters to obtain information.

Compared to Kolotia, Biffin's identity is too convenient to use. Native human identities, invisibility at any time, and the ability to change names using inscriptions called "Pet Renaming Contract".

Although Biffin herself seemed to be a little resistant to this, Kolotia still had to comfort her a little when using this...... ("Down there's your maid or your knight...... But, pets or something......")

"Investigating or something, you can complete the task, but Lord Kolotia......" The long-haired maid lady stared at Kolotia seriously: "Are you really okay like this?" If you really don't feel well, you can ......"

"No, things have to have a beginning and an end. Although we don't know who is responsible for this fifth disappearance, it can be regarded as our lead. If you don't deal with it a little, I'm a little upset in my heart. Kolotia smiled, then shook her head slightly: "Actually, I don't care now, anyway, after this time, we will leave the city." It's okay to go where no one knows me. Besides, this game is supposed to be travel-oriented. ”

"You can understand your thoughts." Bei Fen nodded: "Actually, you may not have noticed just now, but there was a communication from Lord Shadow's side, and the content was that we should not get too involved in this matter. ”

"Oh? Why? Kolotia raised an eyebrow.

At this time, as long as you concentrate a little, you can directly call up the relevant content from Bei Fen's memory. As far as trouble is concerned, it is no different from "opening a book, finding the target page, and reading the contents". Even, because Biffen is willing to cooperate, there may not even be a process like "finding the target page". It's really very convenient.

Kolotia, however, preferred to let Biffin dictate. After all, this is more of a "communication" feeling, and if two people sit in the room without saying a word, it always feels a little weird.

"Because it seems that there are other 'outer' beings involved. After all, under the constraints of the 'system', although it is not impossible to manipulate the player's thinking, if you want to do this kind of process, it is really difficult to do it without other people at the same level as the shadow adult. ”

"......" Kolotia was silent.

Who exactly the "shadow" is, Kolotia doesn't know. But Kolotia knew that it had no ill will towards itself, and if it had ill will towards itself, it would not be able to resist it. It is even said that the "outside" it is located on is one order higher than the "internal test" it is in, and it is not a dimensional at all.

"Can you just leave it alone? But I'd like to give it a try...... At least confirm the other party's motives. ”

……

"You're such a gentle man."

"Don't say that about me, I'm just ordinary integrity." Kolotia shook her head.

"'If you just confirm the motivation, then you can give it a try. But don't just do it. That's what Shadow said. So, let's go. Biffen bowed slightly, then left the room.

"And ...... In the next, I liked such Kolotia-sama the most. ”
