Verse 98: Blasphemy against the priest's beard
"I ...... Who is it?" the fish-man with brown scales opened his eyes.
The entrance is a ceiling made of metal.
He looked around and found himself lying on a thin metal bed. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.
"Where the hell is this?"
"Who am I?"
When the Brown-scaled Fishman delved into the question, he couldn't help but hold his head with both hands, feeling a sharp pain that penetrated deep into his soul.
"I ...... I remember!"
"My name is heyhehe. ”
"The reason it's called this is because when I laugh, I make a hey, hey, hey, hey. ”
"Yes, that's right, I'm a black-scaled fishman hehehehe. ”
"But, why?!"
"Why are my fish scales brown?"
"No, that's not right!"
"None of this is right!"
Bang.
There was a soft thud, and a miniature explosion occurred in the head of the brown-scaled fish-man. In an instant, the floor, walls, and ceiling of the metal house were covered with the brains and blood of the fish-people.
"Subject 213 failed. Cang Xu's voice was indifferent, and his face was expressionless.
He stood between the walls, using spell perspective, observing the state of the fish-man, and witnessing the whole process of his self-detonation.
Undeterred, Greybeard looked for the reason for the failure of the experiment.
He instilled mana, urged the arranged undead magic circle, and absorbed the soul of the fish-man into the space of the magic circle.
The fish-man soul let out a terrible wail, and finally came to naught.
And Cangsu got a lot of memory images, the most important of which was the memory of the fish-man before he was temporary.
He found the reason.
"The memory I instilled in him was that he was a brown-scaled fishman quack, but he remembered that his name was heyhe, and he thought he was a black-scaled fishman. ”
"But hey, hey, hey, it's not his real name. ”
Greybeard turned to a metal table and opened the box on it.
Once opened, the mechanical structure of this metal box changes to form a three-tiered staircase-like arrangement.
On these three staircases, hundreds of memory crystals are neatly arranged.
Cangsu came at his fingertips and directly picked out the memory crystal of the test subject.
He took the engram and took a few steps to the side, facing a magic device that was more than a man tall.
It's the engram crystal making device.
Abarbutsu inserts the engram into a groove in the magic device and infuses it with mana.
The engram device began to shimmer, changing into a blur of light and shadow. What appears in the light and shadow is the memory of the fish-man test subject.
The memory played quickly, and Cangsu found the source of "hey, hey, hey".
It turned out that when this fishman was a child, he encountered a strong fishman with black scales and was rescued by the other party.
He didn't know the other party's name, but he was deeply impressed by the strange voice of the other party's laughter.
"Maybe subconsciously, he just wants to be a fish-man like his life-saving benefactor. ”
At this time, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Cangsu immediately heard that it was the boy who came, and took the initiative to open the door.
"Old scholar, I heard that you have made gratifying progress?" the young man asked with a smile.
He is now in human form, and in the Deepsea Monster Fish without outsiders, he does not need to consume magic energy to maintain the mutation.
"Yes, sir. "My research on engrams has yielded results, thanks of course, to the magic books that I have seized from the secret chamber under the sea. ”
The young man's eyes lit up slightly: "So, can you become a blasphemous priest?"
If there is a blasphemous priest in the Righteous Pirates, then the certainty of stealing divine power is even greater.
"Theoretically, I've studied it thoroughly, and now I'm just one crucial experiment away. "That's why I invited adults to preside over this experiment, because I'm the test subject." ”
The young man's face couldn't help but change slightly: "Why do you want to go into battle in person?"
"It's a bit risky. "But we have to." First, there is no suitable candidate for the survivors of Mystery Island other than me. It's a hassle to choose someone other than the survivors. Second, I need to experience it myself to grasp the key. Third, forcibly control other people to experiment, which I have done many times and have failed. ”
The extraction of memory crystals requires the active contribution of the parties. If it is forcibly extracted by external forces, it is easy to cause failure, and even if it succeeds, the extracted memories are chaotic or broken.
"This is my main memory, please keep it. Greybeard walked over to another metal crate, opened it, and retrieved one of the engrams it contained.
"Next, I'll go into the next room and try to become a blasphemous priest. ”
"First, I'll manipulate the engram device and store all of my memories into one engram. In this way, my memory is emptied. Then, I would fall into a coma and ask the adults to instill another memory in me. ”
With that, Greybeard took out another engram from the metal box.
"The memories stored in this crystal are the religious memories of the followers of the fish god. After my revision, the logic is smooth and there are no errors. ”
"Then, please isolate me and observe me through a magic device. ”
"If I hold my head and feel pain, please ask the adults to intervene in time to knock me unconscious. ”
"However, the probability of this happening is very small. The experiment was successful: I became a believer in the fish god and did not have the slightest doubt about myself and my memory. ”
"Three hours after I woke up, if I'm stable, please activate your magic device and knock me unconscious. Then, use the memory crystals I gave you to instill the memories in them. ”
The boy listened carefully to Cangsu's words and took them to heart. I repeated it several times, and at Cangsu's place, I got the correct confirmation.
Immediately, the two of them began to act.
Cangsu opened the hatch of the cabin next door, and the young man was slightly startled by the blood stains and broken corpses of the fish-men scattered inside.
Pointing to the fish-man corpse, Greybeard explained, "That's why I erased all my memories. ”
"The transformation of memories is very subtle, and my understanding of them is very shallow. ”
"Sometimes, even though all the memories of the identity in the memory have been erased, the subject will still not accept the identity that has been instilled. Self-perception can be deflected in an uncontrollable and imaginary way for a variety of reasons. ”
"If the experiment fails, what happens unexpectedly......"
Cangsu hesitated for a moment: "If possible, please transfer my cultivation notes to that guy." ”
"Understood. The boy nodded.
The experiment began.
According to the steps explained by Cang Su, the teenager strictly implemented it and was orderly.
Rooted in new memories, the beard awakens.
"I ...... Who is it?"
"I'm ...... I'm Iyaku. ”
"I'm a magician, black iron level, but I believe in the god of fish. ”
"Yes, I'm a cultist, I'm in captivity. I don't know exactly who the enemy really is. I was attacked!"
The young man watched calmly, watching Cangsu try to get out of trouble, but he couldn't break the forbidden shackles on his body.
The shackles of the forbidden demons produced by the war mongers are of very good quality.
Cangsu tried hundreds of times, but without success, and his emotions broke down, and he began to pray to the fish god over and over again.
Three hours later, the boy knocked Abarbutra unconscious, reinstilling his original memories into it.
The beard awakens again.
"My lord, it worked!" Rao was transformed by necromancy, and he also exuded excitement.
"I have a doubt. The boy frowned.
"How did that silver mage from Crescent become a blasphemous priest, and if we did it the way we did, how could he restore his true identity afterwards?"
Cangsu replied, "There may be two options. First, he is not alone, he also has a partner. But I'm more inclined to the second option, where he has a special wake-up measure. It is likely that he modified the engram and forged it into his personal belongings. When certain conditions are met, the item activates and instills memories in him. ”
The boy continued to ponder, "So, it is possible for us to eradicate him before he awakens to his true identity?"
"There is such a possibility. But how do we find him?" asked Cangsu.
"It's very simple, when he infiltrated the cultists, he was an ordinary person. As long as the Silver Mage is found among the cultists, the Eight Achievements are his. ”
But Cangsu shook his head: "This necromancer hides his true cultivation, and I don't know what method he used. But since he was able to have the confidence to blaspheme the Blue God, it proved that he was confident in his disguise. We probably won't find him. ”
"Your analysis makes a lot of sense. The boy nodded and sighed helplessly.
This is a destabilizing factor.
When he was making trouble in Seaeye City, the fish-man boy had the idea of beating the necromancer, but he couldn't find him.
"I hope that the temple will not be a hindrance to us. ”
The boy was thinking about it when Taling's warning suddenly sounded.
The sea is different!
The boy transforms into a dragon man and sneaks back to the Justice with Cangsu.
The Righteous Pirates are in a tense confrontation with a group of sea giants.
The sea giants led by him are at the gold level, and there are six more sea giants at the silver level in the team!
