To deal with him, Adolf had to determine what state this guy was in.
The ability of the precept keeper tends to be conceptualized, and Mr. Yi provided all the information. If the baby activates the "non-adultery" state before falling asleep, then his body will be immortal and resist all external harm.
So if Adolf attacked him rashly, he might wake him up and scare the enemy away.
Furthermore, the ability of the commandment keeper will also require the other party to abide by the commandments, otherwise they will suffer backlash.
This is what Adolf is worried about, he must make perfect judgment.
There were many plans in his mind, but accidents often came unexpectedly. Just as Adolf was standing outside the door thinking, the child in the crib suddenly woke up.
"Um...wow~~!"
The baby started crying, and the woman downstairs thought that Adolf was doing harm to the baby, so she became extremely panicked, but was held down by Ethan.
"Relax. I've been reminding you to relax. You don't need to pay attention to everything that happens on the second floor. This is not good for yourself."
Ethan magically pulled out a scale from somewhere. It was exquisitely made and looked much more valuable than the incense burner at the Sheriff's house.
He placed the scale in front of the woman and checked out some small items from the cabinet, including coins, matchboxes, bullet casings, buttons, etc.
He randomly combined these small items and placed them on the scale, as if playing, and the bound woman was stunned for a moment.
Continuing back upstairs, Adolf found that the child was awake, crying and saw himself outside the door.
The doubt in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and the expression on his face showed a 360-degree reversal. He put on a smile, opened the door and walked into the bedroom.
"Oh~! Look whose baby this is? Did I wake you up, little one?"
He pretended that he was a visiting guest, a friend of the owners, and showed concern for the younger members of their family.
"Let's see what toys the little guy likes?"
Adolf first pushed open the bedroom window and glanced at an owl on the branch outside the window. Then he knelt half in front of the crib, picked up the wooden horse next to it and dangled it in front of the child's eyes to tease him.
The child kept crying, and Adolf quickly changed to a clown toy and kept teasing him.
After changing several toys in a row, I finally made the child laugh.
"Ula Ula!"
He put a toy locomotive into the crib and handed it to the child's hand. Then he placed the wooden horse and the small ball beside the child. Finally, he also put a strange doll toy hidden behind him.
Place it next to the baby's face.
The toy was very strange. It was covered in bandages, just like a mummy. You couldn't see the details of the workmanship or even the materials inside.
The child showed no abnormality, but when Adolf was teasing him, he deliberately touched his body, pinched and poked here, and deliberately applied more force to confirm whether the other person would feel pain.
If the other party can feel pain, it proves that he has not activated the state of physical immortality.
But it's a pity that the child didn't cry anymore no matter how much he teased him. Adolf realized on the spot that this guy must have maintained a state of physical immortality that "does not commit adultery". If he wanted to kill him, he would have to be forced to change into a state of discipline.
Just fine.
Just when Adolf was about to execute the second plan, his vision suddenly went dark, and the scene around him suddenly changed. He was on a suspended altar, and as far as he could see, there was a bright crystal avenue leading to the sky.
At that end lies the mystery and forbidden knowledge of the infinite universe.
Adolf's face changed suddenly. Just when he was about to be fascinated by the wonderful scene before him, he suddenly remembered that Mr. Yi had told him about the invisible technique of the nature of stone, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"saint!"
He realized that the desire in his heart was amplified and was tempting him!
At the same time, a hoarse voice sounded in his ears: "Exploring the mystery of the origin of the world? I didn't expect a country bumpkin like you to have such a dream."
Adolf's expression changed drastically, and the scene in front of him disappeared instantly. He returned to the bedroom on the second floor of the Sheriff's house, and the baby below stared at him with a strange and terrifying sneer that should not appear on the baby's face.
!
…
Downstairs, Ethan finally put the scales in place and the two sides became even.
He exhaled and said to the woman in front of him: "As the wife of a sheriff, what do you think justice is?"
The woman's eyes widened. She was in no mood to talk to the robber, and kept whining.
Ethan continued calmly: "Well... I was negligent and forgot that you can't speak. Well, please take a look at this scale."
The woman's red and swollen eyes couldn't help but glance at the decorations on the table, and her ears listened to Ethan's inexplicable speech.
"My favorite thing is the scale. It can measure the weight on both sides. We can achieve true balance based on this physical logic. So what is justice? I think it is balance. Good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds, and evil deeds will be punished.
.”
There was a trace of speechlessness in the woman's eyes. In her opinion, the guy in front of her was not qualified to talk about good and evil. Criminals like them who broke into the house at night and took hostages had no face to say the word "justice"?
Next, Ethan remained silent and reached out to take away a stack of magnets from the tray on the right. In an instant, the entire scale collapsed and all the small objects were scattered on the floor.
"As you can see, it is actually very difficult to maintain a balance. It is equally difficult to define justice. Different positions mean that the perceived right and wrong are very different."
Ethan picked up the small objects on the floor and continued: "If you put different things on both sides of the tray, it would be too difficult to achieve a perfect balance, so the best way is to put them exactly the same, that's like
...Copying the same thing from another point in time is called liquidation..."
With the woman's face full of confusion, there was sudden movement on the second floor.
That was the sound of Adolf being startled and retreating sharply.
"Is there any need to show such fear?" The baby in the cradle stood up, leaned on the wooden railing and said with a smile, "Weren't you already prepared to deal with me? It seems you should know about me.
Who is it, so...are you an agent from the Anti-Suppression Department or the Inspection Bureau?"
The look of horror on Adolf's face disappeared in an instant, and he understood that he had been discovered by the other party.
"Why not a temple?"
"Haha..." The baby said with a disdainful expression, "You are too dirty. There won't be anyone as dirty as you in the church."
Adolf took a long breath, calmed down and said: "What if I say that I am neither a member of the Anti-Suppression Department nor the Inspection Bureau?"
Um?
Sullivan raised his right eyebrow: "Then I don't know, what other organizations would be interested in me?"
Adolf lowered the brim of his hat and was about to speak, when suddenly the owl outside the window flew into the room like a madman and pecked at the baby's face.
Such an unexpected situation was unexpected for Sullivan. Several holes were quickly poked in his face by the animal, and blood spurted out instantly.
"Haha, you really didn't keep your physical body immortal. I successfully deceived you with the temptation just now!"
