If you cannot defeat your emotions with reason, you will spend your life blindly.
Falosa sank into the depths of the hot water. The high-temperature bath water gave her a feeling of clarity, as if she was melting into it. The water pump in the jacuzzi was very powerful, and the large-flow water column washed her body from all angles. Body, she felt like she was being lifted high by a dozen clever maids.
She closed her eyes and felt the different levels of power taking their place in her body.
Farossa has swallowed the power of the deep sea in Orxian, and also digested part of Yanduo's sun power. The two cannot be reconciled. Once they collide in her soul, it will cause quite bad consequences. In order to be better To channel them, Falosa needs to construct the concept of the Witch God to ensure that these two divine powers are tamed.
——So close.
There was a sound of footsteps, very light, but Falosa could hear it. She opened her eyes and saw Xu Yang standing next to the dark brown patterned wallpaper, trying not to affect her meditation.
"No need to tiptoe, I know what I'm doing." Farosha took the towel.
"How?" Xu Yang asked.
"Soon."
"According to Mond's reminder, too strong a godhead will erode your self," Xu Yang sat down on a sheepskin chair, "So you need to create a more mixed image for yourself... so that the witches cannot condense it. A powerful shared consciousness.”
"Thanks to your help, I'm almost done." Falosa said.
"Do you mean……"
"——The young witches who have been brought here so far, a total of 239 children, are called mothers to me. These gentle reflections create another phantom."
"These imaginations are very mysterious," Xu Yang said, "I discovered that the company alliance had made a movie before, The Legend of Mond the Little Space Monster, which portrayed Mond as a very weak guy and tried to use the imagination of people all over the world to suppress it. .Komund still looks very strong.”
"How can it possibly work? Moonfire Mondstadt is not its real name," Falosa sneered. "Only the secret text can call its name correctly, but this is not reliable because language distorts our thoughts."
"distortion?"
"What we observe is 'this'," Falosa said. "What we see with our naked eyes and listen to with our ears becomes 'that' when it enters our minds, and we try to write it down or use what you said - —When making a movie, what is produced is 'not that'. In short, it is completely different from the original, so it has no impact."
"So people can't understand each other," Xu Yang understood, "because language is an unreliable communication tool."
"There is something that can replace language," Falosa left the bathtub and put her wet hands on Xu Yang's mask. "That is the intersection of soul and emotion. Thanks to the infinite love of the little witches, these fantasy productions are full of sincere emotions. A new projection is out.”
"The Leather Man." Xu Yang said, "Suzukawa Kii is no longer broadcasting."
"What kind of leather man?" Falosa flicked Xu Yang's mask with her finger, "Forget it, just think of it as a leather man - four leather men, mother, seeker, madness, and transcendent superior authority. , these four images will emerge and attack each other when I set foot on the starting point of becoming a god."
"Which one is the real you?"
"None of them." Falosa opened her hand in front of Xu Yang and then clenched it tightly. "I will not be covered by the phantom. I will use the real me to devour all illusions. I cannot be covered by the phantom built by my admirers. , like Sally, become a servant god bound by worshipers.”
Having said this, Falosa took a deep breath.
A difficult step.
The imagination of the witches constitutes the source of her divine power, but all she wants is the divine power itself, not the divine shell imagined by the witches. She refuses to give up her true nature, nor her magic power, nor her original appearance.
, she firmly believes that these are the most important self-representations and cannot be lost.
According to records in ancient books, Farosha must also reach a state of perfect telepathy. In that state, her thoughts are open, her ideas are thorough, her mentality is complete, history and the world are at a glance, and the stars and the earth are all under her feet.
When that moment comes, the best time to perform the ritual of the Seven Witches has arrived.
"You mentioned Sally, that's why I came to you." Xu Yang said, "A cat is devouring a large number of rat people, and Sally is panicking about this."
Falosa frowned.
"McCard the Liar," she said, "This is the most cunning and powerful cat in the world."
"But Sally said that the massacre happened very recently. I checked and found that the most recent report of rat deaths was in Shangjing." Xu Yang said.
"Last time it said it was coming to the Islands, I thought it was just a joke." Falosa pondered.
"Any more information?"
"It said that since the company's victory, it has been working as a reporter or something, and it has spent more than a hundred years in the Western Continent." Falosa recalled, "The Western Continent has the largest number of mystics, and with the arrival of the demigods
Awakening one after another, it was forced to flee overseas and wanted to ask for my asylum."
"You refused?"
"Of course I refused." Falosa disagreed, "It's just a mysterious cat."
"A polite refusal?"
"It was ridiculed."
"What would you do if you were treated like this? What if you went to someone for help, but they got angry."
"You will feel that he is tired of living." Falosa sighed secretly, "You mean, this rat-eating monster will come to Anjiu City, but Lila is guarding Anjiu City."
"Lila guards the city, but she is too rigorous in her work and misses the flexible parts." Xu Yang nodded.
Lila cares too much about everything around her.
While on vacation a few days ago, Xu Yang and the little fool were staying in a corner of the city, but they were discovered by Pan Ruiyin. This was completely impossible by Pan Ruiyin herself. She must have been entrusted by Lila to secretly protect Xu Yang.
And Lila never mentioned this matter from beginning to end.
Xu Yang asked Lila, and Lila only responded briefly, pointing out that the violent crime rate in Anjiu City had increased significantly, so she had to send someone to protect Xu Yang.
At present, a large number of people are wandering without work, and the streets have become very dangerous. These days, Lila has detected and stopped a large number of criminal attempts that harmed society, while continuing to recruit and expand the team of security personnel.
"The magic of perception is good enough to effectively distinguish the activities of a large number of people." Lila said, "All crimes and injuries will be detected and assigned to various mobile units for resolution."
Mayor Nobuhiko Ohara very much recognizes Nisto's responsibility for city security. Currently, Lila's magic is more efficient than any surveillance system, and people will not have any objections, after all, they are unaware of it.
"Lila is too smart and powerful," Falosa sneered, "McKa may have entered Anjiu City, and we don't know anything."
"It's a cat?"
"The prototype is a fat cat with silver gradient and white fur. There are many kinds of human shapes, such as an old man with a cat head, a big girl, a flute-playing shepherd boy, etc..." Falosa said, "It's hard to figure out, after all, its honorific name
He's a liar."
Xu Yang leaned back in the armchair and thought.
Based on the information from Sally and Falosa, an ancient mystic known as Mika the Liar probably came to Anjiu City with some hostility. He likes to eat mice, and was ridiculed by Falosa. There is nothing wrong with the two sides.
There is a basis for cooperation.
Then one's own side must first treat the other party as an imaginary enemy, search and focus on monitoring it.
How to do it? Xu Yang quickly calculated.
Falosa is right, language is an unreliable tool. Relying on her few words of description, it is impossible to know what this liar Mika looks like.
"You said it was a reporter?" Xu Yang asked.
"Yes," Falosa nodded, "It probably works in a newspaper in Europe or something."
Xu Yang closed his eyes, used his digital mind to connect to the Internet, searched for relevant items on the Internet, continuously dug into the surface network and the deep anonymous network, and used different words to collect and capture relevant news.
There is a vast amount of information on the Internet, like a treasure. As long as you are good at using it, you can get any kind of information. After 4 seconds of searching, Xu Yang sorted out 2,000 written records and audio-visual materials related to it.
The rest of the records were unreliable. After screening, Xu Yang found that the largest source of information was a 69-year-old old woman who had died named Amyla. A month ago, there was a large-scale shutdown in Constantiniya.
During the market shutdown, the newspaper where Amyra worked was shut down for impartially reporting the incident. She fell down during the conflict and died unfortunately.
Amyra posted five stories about a magical kitten on the Internet, telling how she established a friendship with a newspaper cat.
She started recording 50 years ago, and most of them have been archived. Xu Yang had to dig deep into the server to dig. Every 10 years, the storage level of the archives will be downgraded, from the initial complete images and text to abbreviated text.
Finally, there are sporadic phrases to reduce the scale.
He successfully found all 5 logs.
Diary 1: “The cutest kitten in Konstantinye! What a surprise on the way to work, I want to keep it! […]”
Diary 2: “It’s time to celebrate my 28th birthday! With the kitten. Yesterday he took me to the eucalyptus discovery site by bike, faster than anyone else! In this way, I […]”
Diary 3: "I originally met some handsome guys at the bachelor party, but the kitten got sick and I had to stay with him. I spent another year with the kitten. It has been so many years and it has not aged at all. It is really a miracle.
Yeah. Maybe I can accompany it all the time in the future […]”
Diary 4: "The work in the editorial department is really busy, and I only have time to celebrate my 49th birthday now! Who needs a family if you have such a cute kitten to accompany you? Most of my salary is spent on it.
, this is not surprising at all, if you treat the cat as a family member, it will be fine. Everyone is asking how old it is, and all I can say is that it is a miracle that it has lived so long, look at its amazingly supple […]
"
Log 5: "Indeed, every time I look at this cat, I feel strange. I don't think it has any additional needs. It is a very easy to maintain cat. I only need to provide it with food and shelter. It
Probably outlived me, which is very unusual for a cat. In fact, I feel weird, as if the whole point of my life has been to provide it with cat food and a place to live. Forgive my post
Then I realized I had to ask for help."
Falosa observed Xu Yang.
"Did you find a clue?"
"I found on the Internet the woman who fed McCain at the newspaper office," Xu Yang said, "and left many diaries. The last one was posted a week before she died."
"It's a secret, you liar McCain." Farossa murmured, "I didn't expect this trick. There must be a photo of McCain in it, we can just block it by clicking on the photo."
Xu Yang projected Diary 3, the only one with pictures, on the screen in the secret room. Falosa raised her eyes and was stunned for a moment.
In the photo, a cheerful middle-aged female reporter picked up the animal in her arms. It stands to reason that she could see Mika. But the entire picture was edited at some point, and the animal in her arms turned into a pure ball.
mosaic map.
"The sticker is a hyperlink." Xu Yang clicked on the sticker, and it jumped to another web page, showing a looping video.
In the video, a completely cartoonish white cat is sitting on the table, making a meowing sound, with a piece of paper with writing next to it.
"Are you looking for me? Sir/Madam, please read every word of the five diaries in succession."
