After saying goodbye to the Dragon of Fantasy, Asik took Medea back to the tent where he was stationed, and used a special candle to summon Malkina.
"So, what did you find out?" Malkina, who had just appeared, said lazily, turning her eyes to Medea, "Hey, so you..."
"Sister," Medea said.
"Hmm, your memory has been restored, right?" Malkina narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Then let me ask, what do you want to know?"
"How did the Queen learn about Emperor Otto's mind being affected?" Asker asked.
"It's a long story." Malkina said leisurely.
"Please keep your story short," Aske said.
"Ahem." Malkina glared at him angrily and said in a clear voice, "Well, Medea was the first to discover the clues to this matter."
"Me?" Medea asked in surprise.
"Well." Malkina said, "When you were a child...after that time you lost control, His Majesty checked your mind and unexpectedly found traces of the spiritual plague in it. This plague is similar to 'implantation of thoughts', but it belongs to the law.
High-level applications can stay in people's mental bodies for a long time, and can also be transmitted to surrounding mental bodies."
"Is it equivalent to a more powerful ability to implant thoughts?" Medea frowned, "What is the specific content of that thought?"
"Nothing." Malkina said.
Medea:???
Ask:???
Both of them were in a daze, and Malkina immediately explained:
"It's just the plague of blanks. It exists for a long time, it spreads, but it has no content in it."
"No content?" Medea showed a puzzled expression.
"Camerica, let me ask you." Malkina did not continue to explain, but asked her suddenly, "If my first step is to implant an idea in you, the specific content is, 'As long as you hear me clapping my hands, you will
Just screamed immediately'."
"My second step is to clap my hands in front of you."
"So, which specific action will consume spiritual energy?"
"Of course it's the first step. Spirituality will only be consumed when the mind is implanted..." Medea replied without hesitation, and then she immediately realized something, "So..."
"That's right." Malkina frowned and said, "The plague implanted in your heart is a similar product."
"It itself does not contain any content, but it is designed to receive designated signals from the outside world, so that when it receives the signal, it can secretly instill specific thoughts into it."
"In layman's terms, it's like putting a backdoor in your head."
"Why do I feel like the mastermind behind this is a computer major?" Asker wondered, "Bypassing firewalls, setting up backdoors, creating bots, and transmitting viruses are all classic hacker techniques."
Medea:………………(Treat me as a cock?)
"It does sound a bit like what you said." Malkina also thought about it, "In short, after the mental plague in Medea was eliminated, probably last year, a demigod attacked our city and was later executed by His Majesty.
.”
"Is he the demigod who is looking for the Shadow Blade?" Ask asked.
"That's right." Malkina said, "Similar traces of the spiritual plague were found in his mind, and the content was to attack His Majesty."
"So we started to investigate this matter and used some means to confirm that this demigod came from the Imperial Saxon family." She said lightly, "Then we found that the emperor most likely has similar problems. Considering that it is inconvenient for us to be here in the main
Plane action, so I chose to entrust you with it."
"In other words, the mastermind behind the scenes created some kind of spiritual plague during the last demonic wave. The effect was to implant a backdoor into the brains of the infected." Asker concluded, "After the demonic wave fell, due to spiritual limitations,
, he can no longer use this high-level ability implanted with plague."
Medea also suddenly realized: "However, he can use the existing backdoor to secretly manipulate the infected without spirituality. For example, let them perform certain actions, or let the spiritual plague spread to other people."
Her mind suddenly became clear, and she felt that the suspense and confusion that had been lingering in her mind for a long time suddenly dissipated. All the fragmentary clues were connected in an instant, and then her spirit was shocked:
Laws of Manipulation-Rituals:
Manipulation is a clever art that allows the person being manipulated to act in front of the stage while the manipulator hides safely and secretly behind the scenes.
A talented manipulator who can perfectly use the right time, location, misdirection and false puppets to cover up the traces of his existence.
Find the manipulator who spreads the spiritual plague, understand his manipulation techniques, and condense your own rules of manipulation.
Well, I sensed the ritual mission? Medea subconsciously wanted to tell Asik, but suddenly held back.
The dark psychology from Medusa told her that telling Asik everything frankly may not be the best choice. Whether as a woman or as a transcendent who needs to understand the "Law of Manipulation", keeping secrets is the most basic thing.
self-requirements.
"Then, that's it." Malkina waved her hand and disappeared into the candlelight again.
Putting away the extinguished candles, Asker glanced at Medea and said strangely: "Why, do you feel like you have something to say?"
"Well, let me ask you, do you think my sister is beautiful?" Medea asked with a smile, her tone of laughter seemed a bit dangerous.
"It's okay. It's not my type." Asik's answer was also very witty.
"Then you're still staring at her?" Medea pretended to be jealous, "Also, what's with the milky smell on my bottle of potion?"
"Ahem, how do I know?" Ask looked up at the sky, "Maybe this bottle was filled with milk before the potion was filled."
"So you like big breasts?" Medea's eyes widened.
"This has nothing to do with breasts." Asik argued forcefully, "What's important is the soul."
"Hypocritical." Medea scoffed.
"This is the truth." Ask said, "If you don't believe me, you can read minds."
Medea:………………
Why do you remember this thing about me being able to read minds better than me?
She was about to continue bickering with Ask, when suddenly a joyful and sweet feeling surged into the depths of her soul, so comfortable that she almost screamed.
What...is this desire interference? No, this is, this is...
pain.
A large amount of painful emotions, along the path of purgatory feedback, were transformed into sweet gifts of power and poured into her body.
This is the purgatory connection from Medusa, which she inherited completely after the two personalities merged into one.
Wait, if this is the case, then these large amounts of painful emotions now mean...
Medea's expression changed, and she saw Mia rushing in from outside.
"Oh no, Aske!" she shouted in a panic, "He's dead!"
"Who died?" Asker asked.
"Eleanor..." Mia gasped.
"Eleanor is dead?!" Aske and Medea were both shocked.
"Eleanor...'s brother!" Mia finally finished her sentence.
