Chapter 22: The Audience

"You've become a 'spectator'?"

Grandin's stunned expression suddenly disappeared. The thousands of expressions preserved from the 'monster' period flashed in his mind like a marquee, and he chose one of them, a cold expression that was speechless and heartless. Then he used the power of the 'machine' to seal his body movements.

In Audrey's eyes, her teacher seemed to be a different person in an instant. The cold and hard mechanical feeling made her shiver.

Grandin's inorganic eyes glanced at Susie, who immediately fell to the ground, wincing and whimpering.

"Susie drank potions too?"

He sat reclining in a high-backed chair, his head propped in one hand and the fingers of the other curled up, tapping rhythmically on the tabletop. The flat voice makes it impossible to hear joy and sorrow.

Audrey, who could no longer read the teacher's expression, immediately panicked, and now she couldn't even maintain the state of 'audience'. However, as a student, she immediately answered the teacher's question:

"Susie was so naughty that she snuck in while I was away and drank the potion. Luckily, I was afraid of failure, so I prepared two documents......"

The more Audrey spoke, the quieter her voice became, and as a reservist extraordinary person with a teacher to teach, this kind of mistake really shouldn't be.

Grandin sighed and exited from the 'machine' state, and he pinched his eyebrows. Even though he knew that his student's pitiful appearance had an element of performance, he had to say that it was really effective:

"Two questions. First, you should have informed me when you were ready to take the potion. As a teacher, I have this obligation to protect my students. Second, animals will encounter more dangers than us humans when they take potions, so there is a high chance that they will get out of control...... Although Susie seems to be normal, your vigilance is too low to do anything counter-measures. ”

"But now that it's happened, it's time for us to take care of the rest of the matter. Susie, come here. ”

He left his seat and crouched down, beckoning to Susie.

Susie heard the call and wagged her tail and paced briskly. After coming to Grandin's side, Susie sat squatting, looking at him with big watery eyes without blinking.

He spread his palm at Susie, "Left hand." ”

Susie understood immediately, and she put her left paw on it.

"Right hand."

Susie did so.

"Play dead."

Susie tilted her head, and Grandin saw the embarrassed expression on the dog's face.

But the embarrassment didn't last long, and Susie immediately stood up on her hind legs. It spun around in place twice, then 'plopped', its feet were on all fours, its tongue was out, and its head was tilted to one side, and it didn't move.

It's exactly like the actors in a play.

'Have you ever taught it to play dead?' ’

In order to observe Susie, Audrey pulled the corners of her skirt at this time, wrapped her hands around her knees, and also half-squatted on the ground.

She 'read' the question from the teacher's face, but Susie's series of movements made her forget to breathe for a moment. It took a while for her to shake her head and answer in the negative.

"Never trained."

Grandin stood up and concluded:

"Susie didn't get out of control and became very smart. Maybe you'll have to call Susie 'she' from today onwards. ”

God - >>

Where are the odd animals? It turned out to be right next to me.

Even if he was a little prepared for this kind of thing, he was still very envious. However, Susie's experience cannot be replicated, not all animals have the luck to be promoted after drinking potions, and the proportion of animals losing control is very high.

Grandin returned to the long table and sat down:

"Now that you've become extraordinary, I'll talk to you about the rest of the day. You'll have to learn how to use your abilities ...... the 'audience' sequence path, you don't have any attacking skills in the early stages, and you can only make things go where you want them to go. So it's all the more that you need to hide yourself...... Forget it, Susie, you can come and listen to it too! ”

Susie, who was lying on the ground, jumped to her feet, straightened her back, and squatted on a high-backed chair next to Audrey.

The two of them tilted their heads together, and the picture was harmonious and funny.

Grandin's mind came back to Captain El's teaching, 'You're still young, you need to get in touch with more new things......

He shook his head vigorously and threw it out of his mind.

Then he began to explain in detail how extraordinary beings should disguise themselves in their daily lives and what they should do to avoid the detection of the church.

He is a professional in this knowledge, and no one knows more about how the church works.

Whenever Audrey asks a question, he always answers it with all his heart.

For example, what exactly does Mr. Fool mean by digesting and playing.

Grandin also explains this in detail:

"What Mr. Fool said is called 'playing'. It's not a secret in some big secret organization and at the top of the church. In fact, we can think of potions as a character script, and after taking potions, we become actors.

Therefore, when acting, we should try to conform to the behavior pattern of the characters in the play, that is, we must play that role well. In the process of playing, we gain experience, and this is the process of digestion. ”

Grandin stretched out a finger and said with a serious expression:

"But one thing to note, we're just playing. You must have a clear understanding of who you are, otherwise you will be lost, you will be affected by the spirit that remains in the potion, and it will gradually be replaced by it, which is out of control. ”

Grandin took a sip of coffee that was a little cold, "You don't need me to tell you what the runaway is, right?" But as long as you stick to the 'play' rules, you don't have to worry too much about it until the sequence level is high enough. ”

"But teacher, since the 'acting method' can effectively reduce the risk of losing control, why doesn't the church make it public?"

Audrey took notes and asked her own questions.

"Because there are three laws of extraordinary properties, imperishable, conserved, and aggregated. Extraordinary properties are not destroyed or disappeared, nor are they increased or decreased, and the extraordinary properties of adjacent pathways tend to converge with each other. ”

Grandin noticed that his students were still a little ignorant, so he explained:

"We can imagine what would happen if everyone knew about the 'acting'. Because the 'Playing Method' will greatly increase the speed at which the extraordinary person can digest potions, everyone will be promoted quickly.

But the total number of extraordinary traits is finite and certainly not enough. At the end of the day, guess what people do to get promoted? ”

Grandin's eyes were dark, and he didn't explain any further.

The answer is 'cannibalism'!

The Extraordinary will snatch the traits from other Extraordinary in the same sequence, and chaos and madness will instantly spread throughout the world.
