"Put on the mask?" Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, obviously not thinking about putting on the mask.
"Although it looks like a mask, if it is just worn on the face, it is no different from holding it in the hand." Knight Myron said.
"I, I was just talking casually..." Only then did Irene react belatedly, wondering how distinguished the person she was interfering in the discussion was.
"No, you're right, maybe you can give it a try." The Pope seemed to have remembered something at this time, with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "Do you still remember the legend about the face-changing spirit?"
"Are you talking about the legend that if a person doesn't leave a mask on their face after death, their appearance will be taken away by the face-changing spirit, causing everyone to forget the deceased? Isn't that just a story?" Myron
The knight asked with some confusion, he was afraid that the Pope would tell him later that in fact these legends were true.
"Of course it's false." The Pope glanced at Knight Myron and explained: "When all stories are spread, they have their origins and reasons."
"The most widely circulated theory at present is that in ancient times, the ancestors believed that the soul of resentment was the resentment of the deceased after death because no one visited him for a long time, resulting in the resentment caused by being forgotten by everyone."
"However, this statement is simply untenable, because there are many people who have become resentful souls. It is obviously impossible for the family and friends they knew during their lifetime to forget the deceased."
"So some scholars, or some bards, etc., in order to make up some convincing enough reasons, they made up a very special creature."
"That creature is the predecessor of the Face Changing Spirit, but according to the legend at that time, that creature will not make people forget the deceased, but will replace the identity of the deceased, so that when people worship the deceased, the object of worship will be the same.
Transformation from the dead into another being.”
"In this way, the dead people who have not been worshiped by their living relatives for a long time will think that they have been forgotten by the world, which will lead to resentment and turn into a soul of resentment."
"Aren't there many loopholes in this version of the story?" Lu Qing asked after listening to what the Pope said.
"This is just a story after all. It doesn't need to be too logical. It's enough for ordinary people at the time to believe it." The Pope smiled and explained.
"So does this story you tell have anything to do with what we are discussing?" Knight Myron asked.
"Of course...it has a little to do with it." The Pope smiled awkwardly. How could he say that he accidentally said too much? After organizing his words for a while, he said:
"It is estimated that the person who told this story at the time did not expect that the story would spread so widely later. As the story continued to spread, the content of the story itself was constantly modified."
"In the end, the most widely circulated version is the version we are familiar with now, and what I want to say is the reason why psychics use masks when subduing the souls of resentment."
"Because a person's face can best represent his characteristics." Before the Pope could continue, Lu Qing took the lead and said. This was not what she had read from the book, but what she had inferred.
The Pope glanced at Lu Qing with some surprise, then nodded and said: "Yes, that's it."
"Spiritual bodies have no flesh and blood, but we can make containers for them, and this container must be familiar to the spiritual bodies."
It is unrealistic to artificially create a corpse that is exactly the same as the body of the deceased. At least in this dream world, such a thing is impossible.
As for statues carved out of wood or stone to represent the deceased's appearance...
The amount of work is too large, and it is not easy to carry. So what can be made familiar to the spirit of the deceased and can be carried easily?
Lu Qing doesn't know if there is anything else, but the psychics in ancient times thought of carving masks out of wood.
"This mask is the face of the spirit body." The pope tapped the insect hunter mask with his finger and continued: "If you wear this mask, it means that you are wearing the face of the spirit of resentment on yourself.
on the face.”
"Can this be used to channel the power within the mask?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
"Um..." The Pope paused, and then said very simply: "I don't know." Although he did say a lot of things to make his statement sound more credible.
, but this is the first time he has encountered Lu Qing in this situation, so how can he guarantee that his statement is correct?
"Whether it works or not, you'll know after you give it a try." Myron Knight expressed his opinion: "No matter how much we discuss, as long as it doesn't work, it's useless, but as long as it can succeed, it's okay not to discuss it.
"
"You're right." The Pope looked helplessly at Knight Myron, then looked at Lu Qing and said, "Anyway, let's give it a try first."
"Okay." Lu Qing nodded, reached out and picked up the mask from the table.
"Wait a minute." The Pope interrupted Lu Qing's movements, pointed to the door and said, "Let's go out and try."
The power of the spirit of resentment is very powerful. What will happen after Lu Qing puts on the mask is possible. In order to prevent the hunter's cabin from being demolished, it is better for them to go outside and test it.
Of course Lu Qing could understand the Pope's thoughts, so she picked up the mask and walked out of the hunter's cabin with the Pope Myron Knight.
"This distance should be enough." After walking for about five minutes, Lu Qing looked at the hunter's cabin behind her and said.
"After traveling so far, it would be embarrassing if nothing happened in the end." Knight Myron glanced at the mask in Lu Qing's hand and said.
"Just in case," the Pope said, standing in the snow with his arms folded.
"Huh." Lu Qing ignored the two people who were talking. She took a long breath and then put the dark mask on her face.
When the mask was designed, it was not considered to be worn on the face, so the moment the mask was put on the face, Lu Qing could not see anything.
What's strange is that even though the size was not specially designed, the insect hunter mask can be worn on her cheeks just right. There are obviously no fixed strings, but it hangs firmly on her face after she releases her palms.
on the face.
A cold feeling emerged from the mask, and the next moment, Lu Qing saw the scenery outside the mask.
Her body had inexplicably grown a lot, and even the tall Knight Myron seemed much smaller in her eyes. However, Lu Qing soon discovered that it was not that she had grown taller, but that her perspective had changed to her.
The original rear part of the body.
She is now like playing a third-person perspective game. She can see her original body standing in front of her, and she can also feel the touch of her body. She can even control her body in such a weird situation.
