"It's useless to destroy the evidence, because I know what the princess is going to say next." Smiling Cohen said without any scruples: "But this matter is quite new. Why are these words blocked from memory?"
"Here, here is the answer." The cold-faced Cohen held the letter with a rich expression: "This answer is really standard and very flattering. Look at this sentence - I may have neglected your concern and their affection, but dear
Yes, I hope you can understand that in this environment, I have to hide my true emotions as deeply as possible. Sometimes I go too far, can you understand?"
"Who has an impression?" Smiley Cohen looked at everyone, but no one answered. Then, Smiley Cohen looked at the killing demon: "Database, let's shine!"
"If it is a disease, it may be able to block a certain memory, but it is impossible to pretend that Cohen is talking!" The Killing Demon said with certainty: "This is irrefutable evidence! Cohen has been plotted, and this is at least a forbidden spell level magic!
"
"Magic?" Cold-faced Cohen asked, "Is it curse magic? Spiritual magic?"
"There is no single type of magic that has these two effects. Let's break it down and talk about it." The Demon of Killing said: "Illusion magic can block the target's perception of the outside world. In essence, illusion is a layer of membrane that separates
In order to achieve goals and reality, if this layer of membrane is advanced enough and sophisticated enough, it can filter certain information, just like a fishing net blocking a river, only catching small fish but not big fish... But to achieve this effect, magic is extremely required.
In my memory, humans don’t have this ability at all.”
"I'm sure." Young Cohen said: "There is absolutely no such magic in the records of humans and elves."
"What about the armor you lived in before?" Cold-faced Cohen asked: "Isn't that also an illusion?"
"It's an illusion, but it wasn't made by me. Besides, only consciousness can enter the armor space, which is different from magic that can act on the body." The killing demon spread his hands and imitated Cohen's style: "Remember life
The battle at the altar, the illusion of Life Watcher is high enough, doesn’t it have the same effect?”
"I understand." I nodded: "What about the second one?"
"The second one seems complicated and can simulate Cohen's speech, but in fact, Cohen has seen this magic before." The killing demon said: "Do you remember that sword on your chest not long ago?"
"That sword?" I said: "You mean the crow? The soul mark?"
"Soul Mark is the name of the second form of this set of magic." The Killing Demon said: "Its first form is very ancient, and its name is 'Law Order'!"
"A long time ago, the magic of laws was born with the tyrannical life. Don't ask me about the detailed era and year, because I don't know, it's just information." In the eyes of the five Cohens, the killing demon smiled awkwardly:
"To put it simply, this is a magic used by high-level power on low-level power. It occurs instantaneously across levels and rarely fails, so it is called a law. The second form that occurs latently is called soul mark. But this kind of magic must cross levels.
In other words, two individuals of almost the same level cannot use each other, because neither party constitutes the prerequisite, which is power - the stronger the power, the better the effect."
"Power?" Young Cohen asked: "What does this mean?"
"You can think of power as a halo blessed by magic. In essence, it belongs to the natural system. Just like the power of a dragon, it can be exerted or restrained, but the power will be annihilated after the death of the dragon. It will never be used to make a dragon out of wood.
It will generate power." The Slaughter Demon explained: "On the other hand, the power of the dragon clan is very effective against ordinary creatures such as war horses, but it has no effect on high-level monsters with similar strength."
"In other words, dragons can use the law on war horses, but not on dragons?" Young Cohen asked.
"Both can be used, but the effects are different." The killing demon shook his head and said: "A giant dragon can command the war horse to die immediately, but for dragons, it can only command to evade. Against other giant dragons, the command can only be counted as a hit.
Hello. Anyway, the greater the level difference, the better the effect, and it can even be used as a group command, so a group of wild horses can never be dragon slayers, and a group of mortals can't defeat gods and demons."
"You know it in such detail." Smiley Cohen asked a little maliciously: "Isn't it just information?"
"You also know that my true self sometimes reaches the top." The Slaughter Demon's smile was a little shy: "I have used it a few times."
"In other words, the power of the mastermind behind this is very powerful, enough to use legal orders against Cohen, but there are not many people who can exert pressure on Cohen now." The cold-faced Cohen looked at himself: "To put it this way... the situation is not very good.
wonderful."
"This one in Cohen belongs to the derivative system of command magic. It is controlled by that layer of illusion magic. It occurs at the same time that the illusion magic blocks the memory. The effect is to act as an agent for Cohen to react to the outside world." The killing demon said: "From this perspective,
, it’s not very lethal.”
"No!" I, Cohen, interrupted the killing demon: "Blocking the memory and answering for me are just appearances. To find out what is covered up by it, is what really happened to me!"
"There are also clues here. The blocked information is the truth that this magic wants to hide." Cold-faced Cohen said: "Why are the words of the imperial concubine blocked? What do those words have in common?"
"Obviously, those words indicate that Cohen's personality is changing," Smiley Cohen said. "That's the point."
"Yes, what Feilin said almost means that Cohen's enthusiasm is waning, and there are no new hobbies. Even with the closest people, he only maintains a habitual behavior." The young Cohen said:
"This problem is not complicated... We can now compare and see what changes have occurred in my emotions."
This method is very simple and very effective. From a certain angle, everyone present is Cohen!
"There is no need to recall and compare. My humanity has become indifferent." Smiley Cohen nodded: "To be more precise, I should say... desire, desire!"
"Banana, you are a watermelon!" There was a moment of silence, and then the other Cohens shouted in unison, scolding each other very neatly. Because at this point, it was not far to deduce the truth. When the word "desire" came out, everything became more eye-catching.
!
The definition of desire is very broad, ranging from the desire for survival to the pure spiritual pursuit of knowledge and exploration, as well as all kinds of things that are difficult to publicize. It can be said that in a mortal's life, a considerable part of the time and behavior are directly related to
It’s about desire. What does it mean when desire diminishes and you don’t notice it?
This is a very serious incident!
"This is not a normal process, nor is it sinking." Cold-faced Cohen thought more simply. He looked at his true self, Cohen, and said: "First of all, as an emperor, you will inevitably be surrounded by desires. Desire is impossible in a purely natural state.
It faded so quickly, and besides, at my level, I am a person with a strong desire for knowledge, and as time goes by, this desire will only become stronger and more intense."
"But now, don't talk about curiosity. I am not interested in martial arts, magic or even beautiful women." Cohen said with a mocking expression: "In an environment with such harsh living conditions, I even gave up my interest in power.
Pursuit, this is undoubtedly a suicidal behavior. The funny thing is that he himself is unaware of it and needs the dear princess to remind him. What is even more ridiculous is that even though he knows this, his desire to pursue the answer is weakening... If it weren't for the tearing
We are done with this soul-splitting trick!"
"Is it another kind of curse or spiritual magic?" Young Cohen said: "This state of mine is very much like entering a fantasy world. I know there is danger, but I have no ability to avoid or consider it. Instead, I am trapped in the fantasy world and cannot extricate myself. I can't even stand alone."
I can’t even think about it.”
Yes, looking back on the entire process of inference, Cohen maintained a certain degree of calm. Even after finding out half of the truth, his reaction could not be said to be violent. However, no normal person can accept negative news absolutely calmly, even if
The people who are closest to him are present, not to mention that he suddenly discovers a huge hidden danger in his body! This shows from another perspective how drastic the changes in his body and mind are - after such a big thing happened to him, he can actually still
Stay calm.
This is definitely an aberration in Cohen's character, and is completely different from a normal emotional reaction.
Yes, as a leader, Cohen needs a calm mind, but the existing "calm" is obviously unacceptable. To put it crudely, it is equivalent to a kind of mental castration... Being able to do such a thing
There are not many people. At present, gods and demons are the most suspected. From their point of view, it is so pleasant to let Cohen, who has no desires and desires in his heart, but has incredible methods, to form the third faith!
"Actually, isn't everything obvious?" The Killing Demon said, "Think about what happened before and after. Who else would do this except gods and demons?"
"However, I have negotiated with the demons before." I said: "During the negotiation process, I did not find this sign..."
"Are you stupid?" Smiley Cohen showed no mercy at all, even if the object of ridicule included himself: "You have already prepared all the strategies for negotiating with the Demon Clan Princess. The so-called only talks about details but not the framework.
That is what you have simulated countless times, and you just follow the script during the negotiation - and your performance in the negotiation is not very good, which also shows that you have degenerated in desire."
"Suppose the gods and demons inflicted such a method on me. Think about it, what would happen if this symptom was allowed to develop to the extreme?" Cohen said with a cold face: "The gods and demons asked me to establish a third faith. It seems very generous.
, but do they really trust me completely? If I am allowed to find unconventional means of development..."
"No need to say what if." Smiling Cohen interjected: "Everyone knows that I am the best at this, and he will definitely find it."
"Then what will I do by using the third faith? With my character and desires, there is no guarantee that it will not pose a great threat and damage to gods and demons." Cold-faced Cohen continued: "So, eliminate my desires and retain
My wisdom becomes the most beneficial choice for the gods and demons. Don’t they like to watch performances? Is there any safer and more exciting performance than this?"
"So our true self has become a puppet without desires, and the gods and demons can manipulate the situation to direct the entire chess game. All the third faith can do is to block it with soldiers and cover it with water and soil. It is completely non-aggressive, let alone make decisions that let the gods
The devil is irresistible." Smiley Cohen said: "As for the Sibiya Alliance, it is led by the Third Faith and cannot make any big waves..."
"However, the structure of Bis Continent has always changed. From two to three, it is full of countless possibilities that can meet the needs of gods and demons." Cold-faced Cohen said: "Gods and demons are existences with a strong desire for control, or
Said that their demand for order has never changed."
"So, when did the gods and demons do this? Was it during the last meeting?" Young Cohen asked: "But Feilin sensed something was wrong before that. With her character, she should have thought deeply before deciding to speak.
"
"That's right." Cold-faced Cohen said: "And Feilin hasn't been in the city for a while. Although we exchange letters almost every day, we can't achieve the intuitive feeling of face to face. So this symptom has been subtle before this.
Feilin noticed it but didn't go into details."
"If this hypothesis is true, it proves one thing." Smiley Cohen said: "The gods and demons first used methods to reduce the desire of the deity, and then after it took effect, they used cover-up methods - the leader of the demon clan met with the deity.
This is probably for this purpose.”
"So, now everyone is sure that this is a method used by gods and demons on my body and mind. It is very necessary and very effective. Those two kinds of magic are actually just to provide cover for this state." The killing demon took action at the right time.
Moderator's function: "But what exactly causes this state? Is it the third kind of magic? I have no clue at all."
"What?" Weird Cohen, who had been silent all this time, snorted coldly and stood up from the bow: "If it weren't for the fact that I was being plotted, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in such nosy matters."
"You know?" Young Cohen said in surprise.
"Almost, get out of the way!" Weird Cohen lifted the young Cohen away and leaned over to look at him: "I can tell you the answer now, but when will you let me out to play again?"
"Dream." I, Cohen, said without any mercy: "I will never let you out again."
"What do you say?" Weird Cohen turned to look at the other Cohens: "This is a rare opportunity, don't you want to negotiate the price?"
"This is really a farce." The killing demon sighed: "We are clearly one, so what conditions do we need to negotiate?"
"That's different. I only represent the unknown side of him, and I only represent that stage." Weird Cohen explained: "When we are one, I must bear and share missions that are not mine, such as rescuing all living beings and restoring the empire.
That has nothing to do with me!"
"But we are one after all." Young Cohen said.
"You are so pure and kind, then after he gets into trouble picking up girls, do you have an obligation to help him solve it? In the same way, he is killing several people now, what obligation do I have to wipe his butt?" Weird Cohen turned to look at me:
“How about twice a year?”
"If it were me, please allow me to add," Smiley Cohen said: "Eight months at a time, four months at a time."
"I like to talk, but I don't want to say anything." I was not accommodating: "Let's finish playing together."
This can already be regarded as a very large-scale "internal strife". The cold-faced Cohen said nothing, the young Cohen was anxious but could not speak, the murderous demon was completely dumbfounded, and the scene became even weirder - if the other Cohen's performances were
Normal, then the behavior of this deity is abnormal. He is very indifferent. Not only is he aware of division, but more importantly, he is indifferent to himself.
"As expected, not only is the feeling slow, but there are not many mood swings. Can you imagine a normal Cohen being treated like this without fighting back?" Weird Cohen seemed to confirm something from his reaction: "However, this feeling is very high.
Bar?"
"Hi?" The other Cohens and hosts were confused.
"It's just comfortable and cool!" Weird Cohen explained briefly, and then asked: "Although I don't know what it is specifically, do you want anything else?"
I didn't answer, but my eyes changed. The strange Cohen came closer, gave me two loud slaps in the face, and then silently said a few phrases - the other Cohens and the killing demon phantom, in fact
They are all connected to the feelings of the deity to a certain extent. Although I don’t understand the weird behavior of Cohen, I feel the mental shock coming from the deity! (To be continued)
