"A spell that changes the minds of others? ......" Kolotia's eyes narrowed, "Of course this spell is there. In the original game's plot, it's actually common for people to have their minds changed because of spells, right? ”

Colotia rightly gave a jaw-dropping, hairstand answer.

"Huh, huh?" Inperka shrunk her neck, her red pupils with a little horror: "Even now, you can do it?" Right, for me? Control zhì thoughts? ”

"Even I can't do that—" Kolotia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.

"Ha ......"

"But if you fix your feelings a little, guide your thinking, or even make some hints, as long as it's not something you're very resistant to, I can do it; I can also read the other person's feelings, or even read the other person's state of thought, etc.; And in fact, it's not difficult at all. ”

Kolotia's tone was still calm, but the faces of the two people sitting together instantly turned a lot pale, and Imbaka, who had been making eye contact with Kolotia, couldn't help but look away when Kolotia was halfway through speaking.

"You can't be serious, can you?" Vanessa, who was in charge of the transcript so she hadn't spoken much, had stopped taking notes, "Do you know what it means to say something like that?" If this report were to be handed in, you would—"

"Ostracized by others?" Kolotia tilted her head, "No, it's okay...... Do you think, didn't the original Mind Condensation Technique have a similar effect? I'm just building on those things and digging a little deeper. ”

Ignoring the almost "frightened" reactions of the two, Kolotia still spoke in a calm and breezy tone. As she said, in the battle in the last level of the Abyssal Gate dungeon, the Priest players used the Mind Meditation Technique, which itself affected the players' feelings.

Not to mention the psychic distraction skills used by the bosses. Nightmares can occur not only during the battle, but also in the dreams of the day after the battle.

If you reason about it this way, it is a matter of course that "players' minds can be manipulated by spells". And that's what Kolotia is trying to say.

"In short, please calm down first, and then think about it seriously, even in the original real world, do you think that your mind is really free, unaffected by external objects, and controllable by yourself?"

……

Imberka and Vanessa fell silent after a moment's thought. They are not stupid, and there is no possibility of not understanding this obvious truth.

"Yes, our thoughts and feelings can certainly be influenced. Let's take a few of the simplest and most obvious examples. If you are drunk, you will become aroused under the influence of alcohol; Even just eating can make you secrete dopamine; The drug called Prozac can even suppress depression, in other words-" Colotia said as she raised her right index finger, and then with a "poof", a small orange flame burned quietly about five centimeters above her index finger: "Since I can use this little spell instead of a lighter, it's not impossible for me to use magic instead of alcohol and a lie detector, right?" -- Although it may be a little bit more advanced than that kind of thing. ”

"By extension, through the channels through which you can obtain information, you will be able to control the knowledge and all kinds of information that you can grasp. And what kind of knowledge and what kind of cognition you are instilled determines how you will think about problems. Thus, if all this is taken into account, the mind is almost never free, and all people are free from outside influences all the time, whether consciously or unconsciously. So, what do you think, what can those so-called magic of controlling thoughts be? ”

"Of course, no one can say whether the kind of magic you suspect can imprison people so that they don't even have the idea of escaping, and if so, who casts it. Spells cast by the natives of this world that can affect the spirit can now be effective by 30%. To be honest, if you really encounter that kind of boss-level spirit control, you don't know what will happen. As for me...... I don't think I'm going to be able to, but maybe you might try ......? ”

Imperca, who was stared at by Kolotia, shrank back in fright, and shook her little head four or five times: "Hey?!" Let's not be grinning! ”

"That's it, anyway. While I would love to prove that these disappearances have nothing to do with me, there is no need to provide you with false information. As for whether or not to accept what I have said, that's your business. ”

"Hmm...... I understand. Imperka nodded, forcing herself to compose, "So, can you ask what you've been up to lately?" Suddenly turned down your job in the Community and then didn't see a trace in a long time? ”

"Ah, I didn't do anything, actually. At that time, I just wanted to practice leveling and regain my level, but unfortunately, well, I recently encountered a very troublesome task. How can I say it......" Kolotia's expression became slightly embarrassed, and she squeezed out an unnatural smile very reluctantly, then reached out and touched the lilac cotton soft hat on her head, hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly took it off.

Two pointy, triangular purple plush cat ears stood up and shivered slightly as Colotia moved.

"That's it...... The special effects obtained in the quest last for almost a month. So I didn't want to go out much during this time, so I kept reading in the hotel. ”

Imperka and Vanessa's eyes were straight at this time - this was different from the previous "frightened", and now their state was more like "surprised".

"So cute......"

Imperka subconsciously made her own assessment, and Vanessa, who was next to her, nodded in agreement. At this time, Imperka would have thought that Corlotia's hat that she had just seen inadvertently was moving, and it turned out that it was not an illusion.

Then Kolotia quickly put her hat back on.

"It turns out that Kolotia has also become a cat lady, I thought it was the patent of oranges...... Vanessa, who had not spoken much, narrowed her eyes and made her own comment: "It's also cute, it's on par with oranges." ”

"Hey, there's a fundamental difference between me and the orange guys! I'm forced-" Colotia was stunned for a moment, then made a serious expression, stared straight at Vanessa, and added in a stern tone: "What's more, even if it becomes like this, I don't have a 'meow' mouth fetish, and I don't have any cat habits. ”

"......Uh-huh," Imperka nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder you choose to live in the Elven Quarter, because most of the dishes here are cold......

"Don't think about it, my tongue is not afraid of burning!"
