Chapter 240: It's all taught by a master, and you can't break it!
Tsk~"
Calulah said, muttering in a slightly unpleasant voice:
"I should have endured it if I knew it."
"Thank you."
Audrey lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice.
She knew that the reason why Kalula didn't 'shinobu' was entirely because of her.
Otherwise, she could have allowed herself to continue to be influenced.
And the deeper he is influenced, the deeper Adam will be trapped, the more completely exposed, and the easier it will be for Calula to be caught.
"You don't have to thank me."
Calula glanced at Audrey and snorted, "I'm just trying to get the extraordinary traits in him and count him as fast." β
Calula didn't accept Audrey's thanks, but the corners of her mouth still showed her inner pleasure.
And looking at Calula's appearance, Audrey suddenly had a strong sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, and automatically translated Calula's words-
"Cai, it's not to save you......"
This kind of person is often called tsundere in the works left by Russell the Great.
Audrey burst out laughing, and seemed to sense Audrey's powerless thoughts, Calula rolled her eyes a little amused and a little helpless, and said angrily:
"Can you be serious?"
Audrey blinked, a phrase she had usually said to Calula before. But since Calula said so, Audrey still sorted out her thoughts and asked cautiously:
"Writers, what are some extraordinary abilities?"
She's been affected for so long, and she doesn't even notice itβ
She even attended several tarot meetings along the way, and even Mr. 'Fool' didn't notice her abnormality. Even in retrospect, Audrey is still a little afraid.
"It's a bit tricky to explain, see for yourself."
In response to Audrey's inquiry, Calula muttered, pulled out a card out of nowhere, and threw it at Audrey.
"What is this?"
Audrey reached out to catch it and looked at the card in her hand with some puzzlement.
On the front of the card is a man dressed as a priest in a simple white robe with a cross pendant on his chest. This almost immediately led Audrey to associate her with the white-robed priest she had just met, but the other person looked very different and very familiar to Audrey.
This is Russell the Great!
She had seen portraits of Russell the Great more than once, even the blasphemous plaque that recorded the 'path to godhood'.
"Wait! Blasphemy card?! β
Audrey glanced at the upper left of the statue of Russell dressed as a white-robed priest, and the bright starlight condensed a line of text:
"Sequence 0: The Dreamer!"
Audrey subconsciously infused spiritual power, and the next second the cards suddenly became three-dimensional, like a palm-sized miniature book.
Books flip and there is a Russell on every page. Gustav, he is dressed as a psychiatrist in a white coat, or he holds a pocket watch, a smile on the corner of his mouth, or a quill in his hand, as if he is writing something.
Audrey's gaze followed the different images of Russell the Great and looked at the Guphosak text description next to her:
"Sequence 9: The Audience...... Sequence 8: The Mind Reader...... Sequence 7: Psychiatrist...... Sequence 6: The Hypnotist...... Sequence 5: Dream Walker...... Sequence 4: Manipulator...... Sequence 3: Dreamweaver ...... Sequence 2: The Insight...... Sequence 1: The Writer...... Sequence 0: The Dreamer......
This is a detailed record of the potion recipes and extraordinary abilities of each sequence of the 'audience' path, and people can intuitively understand the horror of this path in the most simple and direct language!
Especially 'writers'!
Manipulation: The 'writer' in sequence 1 is able to grasp the sea of the collective subconscious, and in doing so, master the 'coincidence', so that the strange phenomenon that appears by chance becomes an echo of the mind, and it appears when it wants it to appear.
The story written by the 'writer' will inevitably become a reality, but if the story does not follow the logic and is driven by vague reasons such as 'inexplicable' or 'strange', the consumption will be greater.
Every word will be known: when you know Him, He will know you and all those you come into contact with. The more you learn about Him, the more likely you are to be written into the woven story.
β¦β¦
Audrey looked at the contents recorded on the blasphemy card, and finally figured out something. Her 'anomalous behavior' is due to the ability to manipulate, which is actually available in Sequence 4 'Manipulator'. It's just that a qualitative change has taken place in the hands of the 'writers' of Sequence 1!
The manipulation of the 'writer' can no longer even be called manipulation, because the manipulated person will not find anything at all, but will consider it to be his true thoughts.
Because under the influence of writers, that's what they really think.
Here's an example.
If Audrey had a piece of cake in front of her, she would love to eat it.
And the manipulator's manipulation will forcibly change her mind, making her subconsciously recognize the originally delicious cake as a piece of defense.
And the manipulation of the 'writer' is more hidden, he will make Audrey naturally come up with the idea of 'eating cake will gain weight', so that she will change her original desire to eat cake, and even if she wants to eat it again, she will not eat it because she is afraid of getting fat.
There are obvious traces of human manipulation in the former, while there is no trace of the latter, because that is indeed what Audrey really thought! She both wants to taste delicious cakes and is afraid that she will gain weight by eating them, either of which is one of her countless subconscious.
So when she was influenced by the 'writer' and gave up tasting the cake, even Mr. 'Fool' couldn't find out that she had been influenced!
And 'whatever is said, it will be known' made Audrey feel even more palpitating.
She thought that as long as she didn't pronounce the names of 'Twilight Hermits' and 'Adam' in reality, she would be fine, but now it seems that the moment she learned about the existence of 'Adam' and 'Twilight Hermits', her existence was also known to 'Adam'!
And that's why Calula says it's harder for her to catch 'Adam' once she's promoted to Sequence 2.
Audrey couldn't help but ask:
"Naya...... What exactly does He want from me? β
What is it that a Sequence 1 'writer' spends so much energy trying to influence her?
Calula shook her head and corrected:
"It's not you, it's me, and the embers."
Audrey has no objection to this statement, after all, she doesn't feel that she has any value worthy of the attention of a Sequence 1 angel.
The only reason is that the other party wants to influence Calula and Ember through her, and at the same time get more useful information from them. For example, the information that Calulah had just revealed was the part of Adam's interest, otherwise he would not have been fished out.
But can this also be understood from the side that in order to fish for Adam, Calulah has revealed some quite important information?
Although from Audrey's point of view, Calula only said that the purpose of her promotion to Sequence 2 was to dream. Although Audrey did not know what this 'dream' was, the 'dream' itself was like a fog to her. But because she is only a Sequence 5, she can't get enough information to see the truth behind the fog.
However, this may not be the case for Adam, who has the extraordinary properties and uniqueness of two Sequence 1s, who may have guessed the truth in a few words, which may have greatly hindered Calula's plans.
Thinking of this, Audrey couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Don't worry."
Compared with the worried Audrey, Calula behaved quite calmly, and said with a smile:
"What if He knew? He wasn't even a Sequence 0, and he couldn't have had any effect on the plan. Not to mention Him, even if His Father himself intervened, it would not be possible to change anything. β
"And,"
Calula said meaningfully, "How do you know that I didn't deliberately reveal this information to him?" β
"Deliberately?"
Audrey was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "You lied to him just now?" β
As soon as she asked, Audrey immediately denied the speculation.
If it was false information, how could it be possible to deceive Adam? Before he took the bait, he must have had a certain understanding of what Calula was going to do from many sources, and he also had the ability to distinguish the real from the false. He just didn't know the details, and those were only known from the mouth of the person in question.
It is precisely by taking advantage of the other party's urgency in this regard that Calulah can lure Adam into the trap step by step. But the premise of designing this trap must also be to use the truth as bait, at least part of the truth.
So Calula is confident that even if Adam knows about it, it won't have any effect? Or is it ...... What was she expecting Adam to do? Is this also in her calculations?
"Probably not, right?"
Audrey was taken aback by her guess and looked a little surprised.
In any case, Adam is also the writer of Sequence 1, and at the same time, he also holds the uniqueness, and is definitely the strongest under the true God. Although Calulah has the power of the King's Soul, she is only an Insight of Sequence 2.
It is not surprising that Calula can threaten Adam with the power of the King's Soul, so that Adam does not dare to go head-to-head with her. But to say that Calulah wanted to calculate Adam sounded somewhat unbelievable.
After all, that's a 'writer'!
The extraordinary person in the 'spectator' path is best at manipulating spirits, the 'psychiatrist' in Sequence 7 is already able to apply psychological suggestion, and the 'hypnotist' in Sequence 6 is even more able to forcibly hypnotize the enemy in battle.
By the time of Sequence 5, you can already travel and modify other people's dreams, and use this to control the behavior of the dream owner!
But even if it is hypnotized and suggested through dreams, it will also leave traces, and there is also the possibility of being seen through.
But the 'writer' of Sequence 1 has been able to 'go with the flow'. He can even turn a devout believer into his own double agent, and the 'God' himself is unaware of any anomalies in this.
What's more, the other party also has the characteristic of 'whatever he says, he will be known', and any conspiracy against him will not succeed. After all, Adam could have foreseen all the actions against Him in advance......
"That's not right!"
Audrey was a little alarmed because she suddenly found a blind spotβ
If Adam could have been 'omniscient,' how had He almost been caught by Calullah in the first place? He hadn't foreseen any of this, and he hadn't seen through Calullah's plans.
Does this mean that Adam's 'every word shall be known' has a limit?
"He is not omniscient, much less omnipotent."
With an approving look, Kalulah explained:
"Although Adam is indeed strong, he is always only a 'writer' in sequence 1, not a 'visionary' in sequence 0, so there is a limit to his 'omniscience', for example, he cannot perceive the thoughts of other 'sequence 0' true gods. Even if these true gods were plotting how to kill Him, He would only have a faint sense of crisis, and he would not know where the crisis was coming from. β
"As for me......"
The corners of Kalula's mouth curled slightly, and she said with a smile:
"Audrey, have you forgotten something? I am the bearer of the King's Soul. βγ
Not only can the King Soul 'purify' the contamination of extraordinary properties, but it is also a powerful weapon against other extraordinary beings and even true gods. The 'writer' in Sequence 1 is theoretically omniscient of any living being, but only theoretically.
The world is so big that there will always be something beyond the 'omniscient' range of the 'writer', such as the true god of sequence 0, such as magical items or seals of the same grade or even higher!
And even if it is a king soul that is divided into nine parts, any one of them is enough to be a 'magical item' at the same level as the true god!
If Adam could break through the barrier of the king's soul, why would he risk his life to steal Calullah's information?
Calullah had the soul of a king and knew that Adam could not be 'omniscient', so she devised to seduce Adam.
And Adam knew that Calulah had the soul of the king, so he would take risks while keeping his hands behind to prevent being trapped.
Calula also knew that Adam knew that she had the soul of the king, so she had already anticipated Adam's successful escape and prepared a second trap for him......
"What a complicated relationship...... Audrey murmured silently in her heart.
Is this how the extraordinaires of the 'audience' path to the high sequence fight? This is clearly to play with each other's eyes, to see who has more eyes, who can make actions that the other party did not expect, who can have the upper hand and even win.
This was very different from the battle between the extraordinary ones she knew before, should it be said that the extraordinary ones in the 'audience' path deserved to be the ones?
Or is it that the battles between the extraordinaries of other paths are also so characteristic?
Audrey simulates a little bit of the Extraordinaire of the 'Black Emperor' pathway:
The core ability of the 'Black Emperor' path is to twist the rules.
Therefore, when they fight, they will limit their opponents and strengthen themselves by twisting the rules, and at the same time, they will also twist the rules that are twisted by the opponent so as not to put themselves in a disadvantageous situation.
In a sense, the battle between the extraordinary people of this path is also very characteristic. And this kind of 'characteristic' is also something that the extraordinary people of the 'audience' approach cannot do.
And because the same way, the same extraordinary person knows the abilities of both sides, so the battle between them will probably be quite long, after all, the ability is exactly the same, and their battle is nothing more than seeing the moves, and the final result is most likely to be a stalemate, and no one can help anyone......
"Now."
Calula suddenly looked at Audrey with a smile and asked:
"Do you want to dream together?"
Huh?
Audrey blinked.
