Eighty-first Sura walking
As he walked, Muhadi secretly memorized the route he had taken and the terrain around him, so that even if the situation changed, he could calmly retreat.
This kind of consciousness is not like it was deliberately cultivated, but more like it awakened on its own as it continued to deepen in its spiritual abilities. No matter when and where, the teenager will instinctively collect information around him, and involuntarily figure out the inner thoughts of the people around him.
The doors on both sides of the street were blocked, but twenty feet in front of the right, there was an old house with its second-story windows open, so you could walk there if you needed to escape. Most of the passers-by around them didn't notice that two crazy old men were preaching a new religion known as the "Path of Enlightenment", and a large group of vagrants gathered around them, and a thief was fishing in troubled waters.
The kid who led the way was secretly thinking about how to explain it to his boss, so there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Muhati understands that taking the initiative is the only way to deal with face dancers. Passive defense will only allow the opponent to lead him by the nose, and it is clear that the enemy will not lead himself to victory.
If you're alone, you're really powerless to deal with a killer hiding in the shadows. The elves of Kulesum are unreliable. And the mustache of the City Watch clearly pushed himself out to attract firepower, and how could he send a helper. If you want to find someone to help, you can only go to the local snake in the city.
Contrary to the imagination of some literary works on Earth, although Athas is a fantasy world, there are no organizations such as mercenary unions and adventurer unions. The constant wars and turmoil on Atas, and the strict suppression of the Witch King, made it impossible to produce armed groups that crossed the city-states. What's more, whether in the desert or in the city, racial vendetta and naked discrimination are everywhere, so it is impossible for adventurers of all stripes to overcome racial prejudice and set up a management organization.
As for whether these local snakes are willing to help themselves, Muhadi is confident. The greatest ability of a psychic warlock is to manipulate people's hearts, and the use of psionic energy in battle is secondary, and they will offer a price they can't refuse when the time comes.
The boy who led the way led the boy to the end of an alley, and along the dirt staircase, the two came to a wooden door that was half underground. The young man's guide knocked on the door, three long, one short, then two long, and then, a movable plank on top of the door was removed, and a pair of cold eyes of a man were revealed.
"Fate is full of sorrows. A voice came from behind the door.
"And I'm the instrument. Muhadi's guide replied.
With a squeak, the door made a tooth-aching sound and slowly opened.
The man behind the door showed his image - the white turban covered his face tightly, and only his eyes were exposed. Suspicious eyes stared at Muhadi, who had come in after the thief. An oil lamp flickered and flickered, illuminating the cramped space.
"Who is he?" asked the masked man, pointing his chin up at Muhadi, one hand resting on the handle of the scimitar at his waist.
"A guest. The thief replied, "He insisted on seeing the boss." ”
"I'm Muhadi, from the Scorpion tribe. The boy began to introduce himself, "I have an important mention that I want to mention to your boss in person. ”
The masked man drew his scimitar, the blade pointed at the thief. "You betrayed your lordship, and you brought an outsider here?"
"Take back your scimitar, if you don't want to end your life so soon. Muhadi said calmly.
"You threaten me, boy?" he turned to Muhadi, and with a dazzling flash of his hands, the scimitar rested on the boy's neck.
"Don't!" the thief begged for mercy, "at least let him lift my curse!"
He meant to intimidate, not really to do it, and Mohamad made that judgment in a split second. "I'm a Psychic and a member of the City Watch. Half an inch further forward with your sword, the ruling council will mark this place as a den of counter-revolutionary violence, and focus on eliminating it. Don't think I'm not capable of sending a message. ”
The masked man's knife slashed through the skin of Muhadi's throat, and blood flowed out and rolled down the blade to the ground. "Psychic Warlocks, hehe, I've heard that Psychic Warlocks are inhuman creatures, can you still have your throat cut and not die?" he brutally picked up a large piece of skin on his neck, wanting to see the boy make a fool of himself.
Muhadi smiled as well, showing that the psionic energy connected the sensory nerves between himself and the other party, and the pain of the scimitar cutting through the skin of his throat was immediately reported back to the other party. The masked man was caught off guard and stepped away with a low growl, holding one hand on his neck. stared at the calm boy in front of him in disbelief.
"Pain has never been only for you mortals. Muhadi touched his throat and covered the wound with his turban absently, "For my class of psychic magicians, no feeling or emotion will shake us unless our own will allows it. ”
The words clearly had an effect, and there was more fear and flinching in the masked man's eyes. It seems that scaring and scaring him is still very effective.
"Take me to your boss," he commanded, "as I said before." I'm just here to propose a win-win build. Whether to adopt it or not, you have to wait for your boss to decide. ”
"But I'm pretty sure he'll be interested. ”
The masked man and the thief looked at each other, then finally gave in, silently pushed open one of the doors of the hut, and began to lead the way. Muhadi secretly used his psionic energy to control his body and slowly repaired, while thinking about what he and Aisha had discussed before.
There is no doubt that the face dancer will also find himself. But he is a psychic warlock, and although he can't directly read the specific thoughts of others like a great psychic warlock, he can still read it without hostility. Even if the face dancer used a special method to hide her thoughts, she would not have succeeded in stabbing her. Because in that case, Muhadi only had to pay attention to the mental activity of the people around him who was completely undetectable, and he would find out where the assassin was.
Empathize, as an assassin, you want to successfully assassinate a mind-reading monster. There are only three ways to do this: sniping from a distance of reading your mind, surround the Psychic Warlock with a large number of hostile targets, and disguise yourself as someone Muhadi would never read your mind.
The first and second points, since they are guessed, are easy to prevent. Muhati had already planned a terrain for the battle that would make it impossible for the face dancers to attack from a distance, or to incite a bunch of hostile opponents and hide them.
In this way, the face dancer had to choose a third way, disguised as a person who would never try to read the mind of Muhadi, waiting for an opportunity to approach and complete the assassination.
While the revolutionaries of Tyre had a way of hiding their mental activity with the help of mind-reading, that didn't mean that the psychic could not read their minds. A psychic warlock who really doesn't try to read a mind can only be another psychic warlock who is similar to or stronger than himself.
The reason is simple, it would be dangerous to do so. Psychic warlocks are mostly nervous creatures, and their spiritual worlds are often crazy and powerful. Blind temptation has a great probability of causing the opponent's brain to counterattack and fall into an endless confrontation of mental power.
Even if you don't get caught up in confrontation, the danger remains. If the other person is also reading their own feelings, there will be a phenomenon of infinite feedback. It is like two mirrors placed parallel to each other, reflecting an infinite image. Excessive sensory stimulation can cross the brain's tolerance threshold, ranging from coma to brain burning.
Probably, only his own master, Lyra, or the great psychic warlock of Tyre, Aikis, would dare to read the minds of weak psychic sorcerers, and they must have a way to protect themselves.
But now, beside Muhadi, there is only one psychic warlock with similar strength to him, Aisha.
How will a face dancer act?
