Chapter 172: Reason, Scepter, Guillotine

Years later, when DeWitt bragged to people in taverns, he often talked about his own desires.

"It's a humanoid fellow, with limbs twisted like hemp rope and tongue like the blue loaf in your hand."

"Its skin was smooth, but it didn't take long for it to be covered in disgusting, disgusting mucus dripping from its tongue. Those irregular eyes shimmered with a strange green light, and the pale lips opened and closed, like a dreamlike noise from my chest to my throat, and then like a buzzing mosquito into my sleeping ears. ”

When DeWitt describes it to outsiders, it is so detailed that the spectators forget to touch the wine glass in their dangling hand with their chapped lips.

When everyone heard this monster for the first time, there was an uncontrollable feeling of nausea in their chests and abdomen, but Devitt's face remained the same, as if it was not affected in the slightest.

In fact, as normal as it was, it was said too many times, the kind of frightening horror that Devitt didn't want to experience a second time.

And the reason why he was able to record the appearance of the monster so clearly was because of his fear, his round eyes almost forgot to blink.

.......

"What the hell is this...... What is it......"

DeWitt leaned half-limply against the trunk of the tree, looking up at the humanoid monster pinned down by the boy's blood-colored gauntlets, watching the disgusting slime fall almost vertically onto his head.

"Ahh

”

The adrenaline rush filled Devitt with temporary strength again, and he screamed, using his limbs together, crawling to the side, hiding behind a tree trunk large enough to hide his body.

"You ......"

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a low sound next to him suddenly almost didn't wet DeWitt's crotch.

β€œ.......”

Charlotte subconsciously touched her face.

Myself...... It shouldn't be that scary, right?

After a pause, Charlotte didn't get close to DeWitt, only a distance away, and whispered to him, "You, are you okay?" ”

DeWitt pointed to his white face like a piece of paper: "Do you think I'm okay now?" ”

β€œ......”

actually has the kung fu to discern his face, it seems that it is not a big deal.

With that in mind, Charlotte also retracted her gaze from Devitt and re-looked at Lynn.

However, before she could see the situation clearly, DeWitt, who had already breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked, "Are you in the same group as that guy?" What the hell is that? ”

Faced with this confused question, Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "That's your desire." ’”

"What's that?" Devitt was stunned.

Desire as a noun he knows, and as an adjective, he also knows the meaning.

But when it comes to being described as an entity, he really doesn't understand.

Charlotte pinched the hem of her dress, not knowing how to explain it to him.

In fact, Lynn had explained to her what the purpose of the so-called "experiment" was.

"Yin Wei said just now that the power that belongs to her is so weak that even she can't capture it, then, if we want to find the hidden meaning behind [Pink Divination], we must first strengthen this overflowing magic so that it can be captured by Yin Weitt."

"It's not difficult to strengthen it."

"The reason why illusionists and array mages are two branches is because their nature is fundamentally different."

"Generally speaking, most of the magic arrays that are placed are for a practical purpose, either attacking or defending, and the illusion of an illusionist is more gentle than the formation that can have a practical impact."

"To illustrate with an example, that is, magic arrays of the same nature, such as two magic arrays based on the fire element, if it is not very capable of the dominant, it is extremely difficult to superimpose them together, releasing the power of one plus one is greater than two, while the illusion realm is different, two illusions of the same nature are superimposed on each other, and there is a great probability that they can exert several times the original ability."

"At the end of the day, a fantasy is the equivalent of a dream. It is difficult for ordinary people to realize that they are dreaming when they are dreaming, and if they put a layer of dream on top of the dream, so that the person who is still immersed in the dream thinks that he is awake, but in fact, he is still in the dream, and he can't tell whether he is in reality or something else - in this way, the purpose of the illusion is not achieved? ”

"What does this have to do with strengthening....... There are relationalities. ”

"When a person's desire reaches a certain point, there will be a temporary sense of satisfaction, no matter how far it will develop later, but when he reaches satisfaction, he will inevitably stop here temporarily, and will not continue to think about the next move for a short time, and what I am ready to do is to rely on overlapping illusions to push him to continue to move forward, so that his desire will continue to expand."

"When it swells to a certain extent, the desire to be released has a certain foundation, and it will no longer be like before, when the wind blows, it will drift into the air."

"Don't you understand........ Well, put a piece of cheese at the mouth of the rat hole, and when it comes out, we'll catch it - that way, you see. ”

.......

"You mean, you're using me as cheese to lure rats out of their holes?"

DeWitt found this explanation ridiculous.

First of all, he is not a rat hole, his body is very healthy, where did the rat come from.

Also, the so-called "desire" is just an emotion in the final analysis, and it is not a bubble, it will expand when he absorbs water, let alone drill out of his body.

Although Lynn had caught the monster at this moment, Devitt didn't believe that it was from his own body, and it was impossible to admit that it was his "desire".

This kind of thing is too contrary to common sense.

There is not a single book that records such an outrageous thing.

Devitt asked sharply, "What is the purpose of what you are doing this to me?" ”

Charlotte took one look at him and ignored him.

After talking so much and not being believed, even she will be unhappy.

Frowning slightly, she stared at Lynn.

There, the situation seems not optimistic.

........

When Lynn reached out and grabbed the alien, he realized that this guy might not be as easy to deal with as he thought.

Lynn's illusion on DeWitt relied on the [Mirror Eyes] that he had obtained.

The function of the Mirror Eye is to perfectly unfold his plan, because it allows the user to look directly into his desires, and then he is already immersed in the illusion of desire, sinking deeper and deeper, thus magnifying his desires.

If it only goes here, Lynn is a success.

But the problem lies in the follow-up.

Originally, Lynn thought that with the help of Yin Weite, the lord of pleasure, it was unlikely that she would resist as long as it was desire.

But in fact, it was not as he wished.

In the [Desire of the Opposite Sex] that was guided, Yin Weite felt that although it was essentially supported by the ability she inherited, there were also a lot of forces other than her.

It's only a little bit, but with the ability she has now, she can't fully control it for the time being.

Lynn once again realized how weak Yin Weitt's power really was, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

Because, the [Desire of the Opposite Sex] who was caught by him did not have any resistance to the restriction of his actions, but grinned fiercely, as if he was laughing.

"Oops."

The moment Lynn realized something was wrong, she immediately let go of her hand.

But even with such a quick reaction, his arm was still wrapped around the long scarlet tongue.

The blood-colored armor that once allowed him to defeat too many people did not play any protective role at this moment, and even the most basic ability to absorb magic seemed to be suppressed and could not be exerted.

At the same time, a tearing pain suddenly appeared in Lynn's head, and large pictures were overwhelming and snowflakes in front of his eyes.

- This is a side effect of [Mirror Eyes].

While releasing the Mirror Eye, as a user, Lynn will endure double the desire.

In normal times, it is not difficult to resist it, even if it is known as the easiest slacker to sink.

But now, it's different.

[Desire Alien] was originally the embodiment of desire, and after being accidentally eroded by it, what came to Lynn's mind was definitely not only double the negative effect.

At this moment, he looked at [Desire Alien], for a while as if he was looking at his father and mother, and for a while as if he was looking at Erin, and even Charlotte's appearance began to appear.

At that moment, he saw his father gently patting his shoulder, Erin reaching out and caressing his face, and his mother walking into the room to cover him and stroke his forehead while he was half asleep.

Lynn knew that these were all fake, but at this time, he couldn't do anything about it.

- because these are also true!

It's all already happening, and it's still a relatively good memory.

To deny them is almost to kill the few softness in his heart.

But should he continue to listen to his father's strange soft words, to feel the heat of his face gradually warm, and to listen to his mother's whispers?

"Why not?"

Mrs. Blazer held the child in her arms, and her voice was soft like a sheet wrapped in a tired moment.

"Lynn, this will always be your home, you can come home at any time when you are tired, close your eyes, lie quietly, away from the hustle and bustle outside."

"You don't need to do anything here, you just need to play the role of a 'child' and enjoy the joy of childhood that all children should have."

Hearing the soft words that seemed to be close to him, Lynn really closed his eyes.

At this moment, he is no longer a "precocious boy" who keeps calm all the time, whether he is forced or really calm, and will not make too much waves about anything. ”

He became, as if he were just a fifteen-year-old underage child.

Desire is an abyss, once you can't stabilize your body on the edge, you will usher in a catastrophe that will never recover, and you will be crushed.

"Don't be afraid, because when you open your eyes, what you see is the world you want."

Mrs. Blazer said this, and her thin lips suddenly hooked up, grinning bigger and bigger, until they reached the base of her ears.

Then, it opened its mouth dripping with slime.

........

"What's going on......."

Seeing Lynn suddenly stand in place and lose her movement, Charlotte's heart suddenly pinched.

Even if she doesn't know how to fight anymore, she knows that when facing an enemy, it is definitely an abnormal thing to suddenly lose the ability to move.

If it weren't for the fact that she still knew a little bit about herself in her heart, knowing that rushing up with her own combat power was useless except to add chaos, she had to rush out of cover and do more or less something.

On the other side, DeWitt, who was meditating alone, also seemed to have figured out something.

"Oh! That's right. He looked up, "I've got it all figured!" ”

"That guy, there's a rumor that he's a summoner, right?"

"So, that demon-like thing just now was actually summoned by himself, right?"

"You first use the illusion to confuse me, and then use that ugly thing to pretend that I have a problem, so that you can gain my gratitude and win me over in the next duel, right?

! ”

He is not unreasonable in making such an analysis.

Lynn had a bad reputation, and he knew it; He also knows that he is being targeted.

And the poor reputation means that you can't find your teammates, and you can only find the woman in front of you who seems to have a combat strength of only five; Being targeted also means that in the next duel, it will be difficult for him to face a large number of opponents alone.

So, he came up with such a plan, wanting to help him in turn by means of gratitude.

And he, a player who can touch the ceiling of students all year round, is handsome, and has a good personality, will naturally be their first choice.

DeWitt's eyes lit up like a magical night pearl: "I have understood your plan, and you will not succeed!"

”

Charlotte: "......."

She didn't know how he came up with this, but she wasn't in the mood to care about it at the moment.

She had to find a way to help him.

At a loss, DeWitt also noticed Lynn's situation.

"Huh?" There was confusion in his eyes, "That guy, can't you control his summons?" ”

"Tsk, sure enough, people who only know crooked ways will be backlashed one day."

Charlotte finally couldn't help it: "Shut up! ”

Because of her personality, even though she was very angry, Charlotte's voice was still not very loud.

But in her clear blue eyes, there was an incomparably fierce flame at this moment.

Even if it's a rabbit, it will bite if it's in a hurry.

What's more, even if she is a rabbit, she is not just an ordinary rabbit.

β€œ.......”

Devitt forced his words and turned his head away to look at Lynn's appearance.

"Isn't it great to be louder, huh....... Bite him, yes, beat him, stomp Blazer under my feet......"

His feeble whisper suddenly disappeared completely.

Because in front of him, the young man suddenly raised his head, his lips opened and closed slightly, and he spit out a light, but unexpectedly majestic sentence in his heart.

"You have the desires that I grasp, but you can't feel the thoughts that I use alone."

He lifted his eyes, a red glow comparable to lava.

"I have never denied the desire that exists in me, it is an instinct that I am born with, and no one can deny its existence. However, the reason why human beings are called human beings and not animals is because we have the reason to suppress desires in addition to them. ”

"It's the gem scepter I control everything, too."

"β€”the steel guillotine that executed you."
