117. Can't sit down
Looking at Assefu who was sincerely kneeling in front of him, Shadow Nie was far from being moved, he felt the other party's state in the air.
As a shadow, he was born with the ability to hide in the shadows.
This shadow, of course, also includes the shadow of anything.
When he is truly integrated into it, he can manipulate the shadow by manipulating it, like a marionette, to manipulate the shadow itself.
The Assef in front of him is such an unlucky guy.
But it stands to reason that Shadow Nie Yuan's manipulation of other people is only limited to the level of physical actions, and cannot occupy the other party's mind.
That is to say, under normal circumstances, even if the words and deeds of the manipulated person are under the manipulation of Shadow Nie Yuan, in fact, the mind is very clear, but it is impossible to call for help or present it with expressions.
Instead of now, after getting rid of the control, Arteuf was still convinced, and bowed down in front of the demon who controlled his actions.
It was precisely because of this flaw that Shadow Nie Yuan was almost discovered twice.
Once from Asseph's subordinates.
Once it was from the shadow beside Lillian.
Fortunately, he controlled Arthur's body, and reluctantly found a reason to fool him.
However, after the hard work of the past few days, Shadow Nie Yuan still found that he seemed to be able to establish some kind of connection with the manipulated.
This connection seems to be somewhat similar to the abstract source that gave birth to itself, controlling the state of those townspeople.
That is, through in-depth manipulation, to gradually influence the other person's mind, until it reaches the point of complete convincing oneself.
The Assef in front of him is a masterpiece of his own ability.
However, the ability to seem unsolvable is actually very flawed.
For example, you can't endlessly manipulate other people's minds, but you have a certain upper limit of ability.
Just like my current self, no matter how hard I try, I can't control people at the level of Buck and Quentin.
A character like Arthur can control three or five before he encounters a bottleneck in his ability.
It's really like a marionette, a puppet that is too heavy and too complex is impossible to control easily, and if there are too many ordinary puppets that need to be controlled, it will also be in a hurry.
If you want to control more and stronger people, you need to continue to strengthen your own capabilities.
Moreover, it takes a certain amount of time to fully absorb the other party's mind before it can gradually corrode and disintegrate the spirit of the manipulated.
Like these days, I was almost discovered, and it is also a flaw.
But it seems to be enough.
An Arthur is perfectly capable of helping himself and coping with the current situation.
and can make some foreshadowing for his plan to go to the royal city.
Isn't Lillian already taking the initiative to go to Buck's bookstore and try to convince them to bind themselves to it?
"Get up."
Shadow Nie Yuan didn't notice any abnormality in Asseph's body, so he said lightly.
"Yes, my lord."
Arthurf straightened up, not like the previous dullness, but walked to the back of the chair smartly, gave the only seat in the center of the room to the shadow Nie Yuan, and then bowed slightly, and said:
"Arthurf will offer you absolute loyalty, even if it is to turn his back on Master Gladys, you are the only meaning of my existence."
Shadow Nie Yuan smiled, didn't sit on the chair, but said:
"It seems that you usually don't shoot the sycophants of that Gladys, and the first time you find your new self, I feel your skills."
Arthur hurriedly bowed down and said: "Everything that his subordinates say is from the bottom of his heart, and he dares not to deceive my master. ”
"It seems that the habits that I have retained before are really hard to change."
Adjectives that express loyalty, they come out of the mouth, without thinking at all.
However, no matter how sincere Arthur was when he said these words before, Shadow Nie Yuan was not worried at all, and in the future, he would definitely be his diehard.
Because the personality of Assef in the past has almost been completely wiped out, and only the memories and habits of the past are retained.
The reshaped personality will exist only for oneself.
Shadow Nie Yuan raised his finger and said, "Forget it, it's good to keep the complete habit, there are no flaws in that way." ”
"Thank you."
"Well, you can find me a mask later, I will appear with a mask in the future, this face is better not to be easily seen by others."
"Yes."
This is also a flaw in Shadow Nie Yuan.
He couldn't easily change his appearance, that would violate the rule that he was Nie Yuan's shadow.
Even though the shadow is supposed to be able to change any shape, it is only in the shadow form.
Unless he chooses not to remain human, he can change as he wants.
But in this case, it will be even more troublesome, and any person can find out that he is not human.
Instead of humans, in the normal area of this world, people have to associate with monsters, infestations, and the like.
So after thinking about it, it is easier and more practical to put on a mask.
Shadow Nie Yuan walked to the study, flipped through the documents that Arthur brought from the royal city, and said:
"The key documents, I manipulated your body to destroy, and the news that was sent back to the royal city was also added by me with some private goods, Lilian got up early and went to visit Buck's bookstore in person, presumably also felt the pressure from the royal city.
You lost the paperwork, and when you go back, Gladys, the former owner, won't embarrass you, right? ”
Arthur thought for a moment and replied:
"Master Gladys, you still trust me very much, otherwise you wouldn't have let me come and send a signal to Lillian, as long as I find a suitable reason, I guess I won't be criticized."
"That's fine."
Shadow Nie Yuan nodded and said, "Then you can describe to me well, what kind of situation is the situation in Wangcheng now, especially the situation of your Lord Gladys, I think the next one, I will summon her into our group, is there a chance of success?" ”
"The odds are not great, but there is some room for maneuver, provided that your ability, after success, will not really shake her soul."
"Probably not, it's just a slight alteration of the personality, there is a certain trait in me, and I won't be easily noticed by others, my abnormality, if there is a level, this trait is very high.
Then based on this trait, the personality tampering realized is not so easy to detect, and in order to be safe, you can also choose to keep most of her personality, just let her be absolutely loyal to me. ”
"Do you have to spend a few days alone with Master Gladys to make your plan come true? Just like me before me. ”
"No, you can do it gradually, but I need some alone time with her."
"That's a lot easier, perhaps, you can show up a little bit, and I'll vouch for you, and create a short time alone, so that she will first be interested in you, and then gradually fall in love with you, and finally be completely like me."
"No, I can't let her see my face during this time."
Because the ontology Nie Yuan is also going to the royal city.
Isn't that a mess for him?
"In this case, it can only be considered in the long run."
Next, Assefu didn't think of any good way, so he followed the idea of Shadow Nie Yuan, and first told the situation of his former master, as well as the current layout of the royal city.
Shadow Nie Yuan listened thoughtfully, and kept weighing in his heart the feasible way he wanted to gain a foothold in the royal city.
And the other end.
Buck Bookshop.
Nie Yuan also reacted after hearing Lilian's voice, it turned out that it had been three days.
In the past few days, I have really forgotten to sleep and eat, buried my head in the library and studied hard, and I have never eaten at the same table as Qiao Qi and them, nor have I seen the sunrise and sunset.
Time passed so quickly, I almost washed Quentin in a blink of an eye, and I was supposed to go to the Moonlight Church to go through the appointment process within three days.
As a result, I forgot about this one.
After Qiao Qi led Lilian upstairs, Nie Yuan also opened the secret door of the library and walked upstairs.
"What about Nie Yuan? Why didn't you see his shadow? ”
Lilian's voice came from the second floor.
"You won't see his shadow~"
This is the voice of honest Nancy.
She was lying on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, holding her radio and listening to the story, while giving honest answers.
It means that Nie Yuan's shadow is lost, how can you see people here.
But Lillian obviously didn't understand, so she walked over, sat down on the spare sofa, and said, "Call him out, and Buck, you can sit too, I really have something to do, and I need to talk to you seriously." ”
"What's the matter?"
Nie Yuan's voice, along with his figure, emerged from the corridor.
Lilian was stunned and said, "You were downstairs just now?" ”
Nie Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I watched you walk up, but you didn't seem to see me, I thought my sense of existence was so low." ”
"Really?"
"Really."
"Huh."
Lillian said that I don't believe your nonsense, but I don't want to pursue it too much, so she looked at everyone and said:
"Forget it, it's normal for you to have a little secret, but the next conversation needs everyone's participation, but there are only five sofas, and there are no eight people who can sit down, or Nie Yuan and Miranda, you two can sit on my lap and talk."
"Think beautifully, you."
This is Nie Yuan.
"It's an honor~"
This is Miranda.
