Chapter 186: The Remaining Diary

Confusing illusions, as the most difficult of all spells to learn, have a variety of effects, which are quite inscrutable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Illusion mages attack the human psyche, and these mages, collectively known as psychics, can make ordinary people follow their ideas without reservation, and make people who are weaker than them do things completely against their will and are unconscious.

Not only humans, but also many magical beasts whose innate abilities are related to the soul or spirit, or ghosts that are soul bodies themselves, will have the possibility of practicing illusion, and the moment Watson stepped into the corridor just now, he entered the illusion space specially arranged for him by a certain existence.

The environment after that is based on Watson's perception of his own environment, which ensures that the recipient will not see through the essence of the illusion so easily, and the mind of the recipient in the illusion space will be imperceptibly hinted by the caster to some extent, just like the voice Watson hears that seems to come out of the bottom of his heart.

It's like some specific action in hypnosis, which leads the recipient in the direction the caster wants, eventually into the trap they have already set.

And the environment that Watson was in just now is itself a huge trap, and the person's own psychological defense line in it will be constantly impacted, and the scene in the mirror represents something that is generally considered evil by people, and if a person with a normal mind is forcibly substituted into it, his mental state will naturally be greatly impacted.

Even if it is an evil person, there must be something in his spirit that he does not want to do, and the spellcaster wants to find this flaw that exists in the bottom of his heart.

In fact, if it weren't for Watson's own mental power, it might not be much worse than that of the caster, so while being affected uninterruptedly, he could also ensure a certain state of sobriety, that is, this last clarity helped Watson finally break through this illusion.

His intention to cast a spiritual explosion on himself is to temporarily keep his spiritual power in a state of chaos, that is, an unconscious state, as mentioned earlier, the casting of illusion must be established in the subjective consciousness of the recipient, and now Watson's subjective consciousness has disappeared for a short time, and the illusion space naturally has no basis for existence.

Watson dared to do this as a last resort, if Marlena was allowed to experience the illusion just now, she might have a variety of ways to get herself out intact, but Watson couldn't, because he had not encountered an enemy using this spell in his previous missions, and his experience in this area was almost zero.

In the face of this strange method, his powerful actual combat ability is a little useless here, because there is no target he needs to fight in the illusion space, and the real enemy is actually his constantly spreading thoughts.

Thought is a very strange thing, its diffusion can make people reasonable, and can also make a correct enough judgment on many things, but under the deliberate guidance of foreign thoughts, this highly developed thinking can also make people fall into a certain misunderstanding of thinking, and become a weapon to harm themselves.

Fortunately, Watson escaped by self-harm this time, except for a little pain in his head, the rest was fine, and his body was still able to keep fighting.

The three companions were also recovered, but they didn't actually go anywhere, Viola was always by his side, and Dumpling and Black Bread were crouching in front of Watson looking at him as he returned to consciousness.

When asked about Viola's situation, she said that she suddenly stopped at the corner of the corridor from the side of the stairs, and the whole person seemed to be stunned, and even her eyes had lost focus, which made them very worried, and then he shouted a few times inexplicably, turned his head to look at the stairs and smashed down the dust of development, and then automatically took a few steps forward.

Viola has been following Watson for so long, and now she has read a lot of books, although her identity has always been an assistant, but Watson will not really let her not learn anything, and he also bought her a lot of books in his free time, so after Watson's situation, Viola also understood that it was estimated that something was invading Watson's mind.

But she, like Watson, didn't have any experience in dealing with this aspect, and wanted to let Black Bread use the ability of spiritual invasion to help Watson, but Black Bread said that his positive mental space had been completely closed, and unless Watson lifted it himself, no one could enter the existence with lower mental power than him.

In desperation, Viola could only stay by Watson's side to protect him from being hurt by the ghosts that appeared in the outside world when he was fighting mentally, just as Viola successively cleaned up the two ghosts that emerged from the wall, he sensed a violent mental fluctuation, and when he turned around, he was already half-squatting on the ground and regained his state.

Watson, who stood up again, chose to continue with Viola, although it was possible that he would still be hit by a bewildering illusion, but since the psychic explosion was effective, Watson naturally would not stop there, and it was impossible to complete the task without any effort, and he and Viola were also mentally prepared in this regard.

The second floor was where the owner's bedroom and study were located, and Watson hadn't paid much attention to the terrain when he had inspected the terrain in the house, after all, he thought that some traces of the place had been abandoned for many years and might have disappeared.

But now that he had seen those old things still being placed there, Watson didn't think so, the ghosts in this house had accumulated so much...... Perhaps many of them were later thieves.

But he didn't believe that the people who lived in this house didn't notice anything unusual, the nobles definitely had a lot more knowledge than ordinary commoners, and they should also have some knowledge of ghosts, and they who were educated by the elite would definitely have their own opinions on some strange phenomena.

Although the chances of discovery are slim, Watson has reason to believe that the former occupants of the house will leave some information to help him uncover this hidden secret.

The most likely place where this kind of information is stored is, of course, the most private bedroom or study, first into the bedroom to search to no avail, but after entering the study, Watson found a very strange phenomenon, what will be put on the bookshelf of the general aristocracy? The books that these profit-chasing people read are, of course, certain economic theories and business knowledge.

But in this study, Watson saw a shelf full of books on supernatural phenomena, as well as various types of monster illustrated books! There are not no books on economic theory, but judging from the dust accumulated on these books, the books that are often read are definitely those monster illustrated books and supernatural theories!

This is very strange, these nobles are not professionals who deal with monsters all day, these books are supposed to be of no use to them at all, but now they are constantly reading and checking, and it is obvious that they do detect some information.

casually pulled out a book with the name "Psychic Stories" on the shelf, and turned a few pages a little, Watson saw a lot of things drawn out in black handwriting, which proved that the person reading this book must be very careful to check it, probably because of some supernatural phenomena frightened but uncertain behavior.

Pulling out several books in succession, with Viola's help, the two quickly flipped through some of the contents highlighted on the back of these books, the most common of which were descriptions of ghosts, and it was clear that the reader was looking for information on this.

It's a pity that there is no really useful information in these books.,Most of them are some so-called "experts" who use hearsay to deceive these ordinary people.,After all, the detailed information of various monsters is a relatively precious thing in any force.,It's all written with the exploration and accumulation of predecessors.,It's not something that can be shared by sharing.。

Therefore, in Watson's opinion, only a small part of the descriptions of ghosts in these books are correct, and most of the other information is vague, which is why there are so many books on this subject here, and the person who consults the information also knows that the information here cannot be fully trusted, so I want to be able to summarize the correct information by reading more.

After flipping through the books in his hand, he could not find any information left by the reader other than the markings, and Watson wanted to know more than these books, some thoughts or thoughts of the owner of the mansion at that time, from which Watson could find a lot of information.

Just as he was about to put the book back in his hand, Watson unexpectedly found a notepad with a brown leather cover on the inside of the book that had been holding many books.

When he picked it up, he found that it was supposed to be a diary, and after a few pages, he found that it was full of ordinary events in the mansion and trivial matters of the family business, until he turned to the middle of the diary, and found something strange about it, and the handwriting of the diary began to become a little confusing from here, and typos began to increase, which would not be the case with a serious and well-educated nobleman.

Flipping back to the front and reading carefully, a few pages of the diary caught Watson's attention.

The weather was fine on May 21, 215 year 215 in the continental calendar

It's Adeline's birthday, and I prepared a specially made cake for her to surprise her, but she seems to have completely forgotten that it's her birthday, probably because no one celebrated her birthday at home......

Anyway, today's birthday party was a great success, I brought Adeline to meet my aristocratic friends, I want Adeline to forget her former lover, as her current husband I want to gain her favor!

May 27th

Adeline has been locking herself in her room lately, and has declared the basement to be her research institute, and no one can enter but her, and even my husband, who wants to go in and have a look, has been stopped by her, and I wonder if mages are always like this?

I could tell that Adeline liked the mage profession, and it was only natural for me, as his husband, to support her and help her.

Next is the diary after the handwriting begins to mess up:

June 3

I've been feeling a little sick lately, probably because I have nightmares while sleeping?, and I've noticed that the servants in the mansion don't seem to be in good spirits...... But Adeline seems to be in good spirits, may God bless Adeline with a healthy body.

June 5th

Adeline told me that some of the servants in the mansion had taken leave to visit their families, and I allowed them, in fact they had just returned from the house a few days ago, but since she had taken them on leave, I would not disagree.

Adeline has been getting a little cold lately, probably because I was busy with my family's business and snubbed her, so I gave her some gold coins today for her to buy something she wanted, and she seemed to think of something, and asked for twice as many gold coins, and I still gave it to her.

June 13th

Today another group of servants was recruited, and the previous servants were not serious according to Adeline, so she let them go home, but this was already the third batch of servants......

I don't know why many of them were reluctant to come when I sent people to find servants who were willing to work in my mansion, but I treated them very well, and my butler told me that there were rumors outside that there were man-eating monsters here, hmph, how could it be...... My headaches are getting worse and worse and I think I need to see a few doctors.

June 20th

I'm in a bad mood today, and I got into a fight with Adeline because she ...... She was so different from the kind Adeline I knew before, and some of her actions were unacceptable to me, and I began to notice some strange phenomena...... I'm going to buy some books and come back.

June 25th

The new doctor said that my headache was due to poor sleep, but this is the 5th doctor, and I wonder if they are colluding to cheat on me?

One more thing, there are many servants who have told me that they have seen some ghosts wandering the mansion at night, and I deny it, although I have seen it myself, and the book says that the appearance of ghosts seems to require some special conditions......

July 1

I feel that something is wrong, and that a number of servants have recently left my mansion without my knowledge, and I think I need to talk to Adeline......

July 3rd

I...... I discovered a secret...... I think I should seek the help of the highest government...... (To be continued.) )
