Chapter 20: Master of Disguise

Footsteps sounded in his ears that were getting clearer and clearer, and Edward whispered.

"Good luck, Mr. Stark."

Then, under Tony Stark's stunned gaze, Edward's pale face began to turn pale.

"Ahem, whether it's animals or humans, camouflage has always been a survival wisdom. It will allow you to survive better. Just like now, the other party needs hostages, and in addition to the injured rich man, a weak minor is also a good choice, at least when necessary, to warn those police. They don't care about killing lives. ”

Edward's voice grew weaker and weaker, like a sick teenager whose life was short.

"Ahem, the wisdom of life is amazing, ahem ......"

Because of the Gate of Truth, Edward had three strange abilities: True Knowledge, Decomposition, and Alchemy. Although, because of its own limitations, these abilities cannot be fully exerted.

However, for Edward, who had a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, it was also a powerful weapon.

The three abilities are not just superficial narratives. In Edward's view, the power that the Gate of Truth bestows on him is a kind of control, a kind of control over matter.

After all, without control, how to create!

Just like now, Edward can control his body to a subtle level, for example, he can control certain parts of his own organization and do all kinds of things that seem unthinkable to others. To achieve some magical effect.

For example, disfigurement, bone shrinkage, and so on. Edward could do all of this.

Because of the Gate of Truth, Edward himself has an extremely rich amount of knowledge, and at the same time, relying on his own control, Edward has become an extremely clever master of disguise in the blink of an eye.

"Come out, I see you."

"I don't want to die, immediately hold my head in my hands and walk out slowly!!" The masked robber named Hound stood on the side of the alley with a gun in both hands, and shouted loudly.

"Ahem, don't shoot, I'm out, I'm willing to be a hostage, I'm willing to be a hostage!!" A weak, frightened voice came from the alley. Then, two somewhat unnatural figures walked out.

The two are none other than Edward and Tony.

Tony himself broke several ribs due to an accident, although Edward corrected it, but every movement was unnatural, and there would be a faint pain coming from the wound, and the movement would naturally not be normal.

Edward, on the other hand, was disguised, disguised as a frail teenager.

The thug's eyes only swept Edward slightly, and when he saw the other party's pale face and weak movements, he made sure that the other party was not threatening, so he ignored it and looked directly at Tony Star, who was in a mess.

After carefully distinguishing his eyes and confirming that the person in front of him was Tony Stark, a trace of heat flashed in his exposed eyes.

"Hey, sir, I don't like the look in your eyes. That made me very uncomfortable. Even in this case, Tony's mouth was not idle.

Ignoring the other party's words, the masked thug turned his head to look at Edward with a weak face. His brows furrowed slightly, he hesitated slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the muzzle of the gun in his hand slowly raised.

"Sir, don't kill me, I can be a hostage, yes, I can be a hostage......"

It was as if I was frightened by the other party's eyes. Edward's tone was excited, his demeanor was full of panic, his body trembled involuntarily, and his limbs swayed unnaturally.

Tony, who was on the side, looked at the boy next to him, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he didn't know what the boy in front of him was going to do. Is it just life-saving?

However, for others, the movements of the boy in front of him are very normal, aren't they?

On the other side, the hunting dog, who was completely covered with his head, looked at the terrified boy in front of him, but his heart flashed irritability inexplicably. In a trance, he felt as if his surroundings were wrapped in something, very uncomfortable, the world seemed to be twisting and spinning, like a colorful kaleidoscope, a pair of eyes leaking outside, revealing a trace of confusion.

The muzzle of the gun, which had been raised, was slowly lowered.

"I can be your hostage...... I can be your hostage......"

“…… Be your hostage...... Be your hostage ......"

“…… Hostage...... Hostage ......"

The voice with indescribable rhythm is like a wisp of ribbon, slowly floating out and into the ears of a hunting dog, like a silkworm making a cocoon, spitting out silk threads, slowly winding, making a strong cocoon.

The difference is that the silkworm wraps itself around and waits to break out of the cocoon and be reborn. Edward, on the other hand, imprisoned the other party forever.

"What did you do?" At this time, Tony Stark, who was standing on the side, of course, would not fail to see the robber in front of him, looked at Edward with a pair of shocked eyes, and shouted in a low voice. There was a hint of panic in his shocked eyes.

No matter who it is, they are absolutely afraid of the existence that can confuse people's minds, and they are even eager to come out quickly. After all, this kind of existence is really disturbing.

No one wants to wake up. Self is no longer oneself.

Fortunately, Tony did not forget his current situation, although he was extremely shocked, he still kept his voice extremely low, and the robbers behind him did not notice anything.

Edward was not surprised by Tony's fear. Glancing at the empty-eyed robber, Edward's voice rang out in a calm voice.

"Whether it is human beings or other living beings, they all live in a world of information."

"From the moment human beings are born, they actively or passively accept all kinds of information from the world, regardless of whether it is good or bad. Humans themselves will respond. ”

"For example, the formation of self-concept."

"It can be said that information is indispensable for a person to mature physically and psychologically."

"The death of both parents can make people withdrawn. The personal care of parents will give children a sound and cheerful mind. Children who have grown up being praised since childhood are confident and sunny, and conversely, people who grow up in criticism will have a little inferiority complex in their hearts. ”

"All kinds of unclear things show that a person's self-will will be influenced by external information."

"What I'm doing now is to provide some information that is necessary to purposefully influence the will of the other party."

"Tell him I'm his hostage."

Edward's sky-blue eyes reflected a faint light.

Edward's words are simple, but how difficult it is to actually do it. It not only requires a large amount of knowledge to reserve, but also has very strict requirements for the environment, objects, and itself.
