The prisoner and the sea

Chapter 46

"Are you breeding...mind flayers?"

Gwen didn't quite dare to imagine what kind of tone she asked, whether she said it in the tone of "why is someone pretending to be an official?" or in the tone of "Bodhisattva, the opposite is a fake monkey".

Mind flayer is not a very worthy identity.

But the problem is:

I don't want to give it yet!

Gwen's mood at this time is similar to the mood she felt when she had just been a department manager for two months and the subordinate secretary was discussing 'who is qualified to take over as the manager'.

"Huh? Who wouldn't cultivate it? Although the authorities have seriously stated that 'mind flayers are extremely dangerous monsters'... But judging from their official documents, [-]% of them have created an entity that is trying to tame it. "

The nun said in a normal tone: "Mind flayer... Well, I heard that's your code name?"

"..."

Gwen suddenly remembered a little story. In his previous life, a crazy battle broke out.In one of the countries, there is a person...let's call him 'Country C', and he wants to work as an undercover agent in Country A.But he has always been a native of country C. Although his appearance is similar, the essence cannot be changed.So, he gave himself a nickname, 'C Countryman'.

His colleagues joked about the nickname, and some thought it was funny.

But whether it was fun or a joke, no one took it as the truth.Even after catching the spy of country C, country A asked him to interrogate him, because he is a 'citizen of country C', so he should know country C well, right?

Gwen felt that way now.

He smiled: "Well, my code name is Mind Flayer, you can also call me Gwen..."

"You're so handsome, and so amazing." The nun gave a thumbs up, "You must be a very powerful emissary of origin force, and you even changed your name to Gwen... Oh shit, when I came to the fellow Before, I didn't know that people here were so afraid of mind flayers... But the problem is, one of the tricky things about ghost stories is that the more you are afraid of them, the stronger you will be."

...Is my name really not Gwen?

Gwen has doubts about her memory, and feels that if she becomes famous in the future, she can secretly hire some people to draw comics and sell them for money, which is called "Origin Stories", and she will take turns drawing dozens of "Origin Stories" from the universe together, which is not popular enough Then cheat another wave of money!

Gwen wanted to know more about the mind flayers.

Although the strange talk of the mind flayer was indeed attached to his mechanical heart before, but in terms of understanding of the mind flayer...he didn't even know much about the gray tower and the curse blade.For example, Curseblade knows that there are "hard requirements for a mind flayer to activate its mind flayer ability, to disappear from the opponent's field of vision, and to have a space on the opponent's back."

Another example is that mind flayers have the characteristic of escaping into the 'darkness', able to hide in the shadows.

This is too much.Why don't you leave this ability to me?
Gwen is eager to understand, but he knows that as a "powerful envoy of origin power", he has to maintain a certain degree of reserve, and as a "name changed to Gwen, and the code name is also called Mind Flayer". The fanatical fans and envoys of Yuanli do not know this kind of thing, and there may be discordant voices.

He didn't want that.

Based on the character of this nun, I made a side note:
"The Sea of ​​Void is also fixing this?"

"Of course, a strange story with rich publicity, everyone knows it, and it is confirmed that the 'first host Gwen' has died, so [Ghost Story: The Power of the Mind Flayer] will naturally have many people coveting it Ah. But it’s okay, there is also a gap between ghost stories and ghost stories, the quality of the mind flayer’s ghost story, haha, at least it can beat a dozen ordinary ghost stories.”

This sentence made Gwen face up to his mechanical heart again.

"That's an exaggeration..."

"That's right? In theory, there can be dozens of people sharing the power of Mind Flayer. You know, many envoys of origin force can only be regarded as scholars, without rich combat experience and thinking. But there is a way to solve this problem." Yes, that is to use the power of ghost stories to give yourself experience and guidance."

After the nun finished speaking, she jumped up and down again, which might have something to do with the bunny ears on her head.

"Speaking of which, we might see him again later."

Through observation, Gwen found that the behavioral characteristics of the people in Utopia are somewhat similar to those shown by the ears.For example, Huita likes honey, for example, Jackal likes to stand by the window and think for half an hour.

Gwen has no animal ears.

But he can feel that he has this kind of blood, hidden in his body, and the transformation brought about by the mechanical heart is too strong.

When practicing against the Gray Tower recently, I even had the urge to 'take the heart'.

It is undeniable that although he doesn't necessarily 'hate' the existence of mind flayers, he doesn't 'like' much either.After coming to this world, he was more than willing to use the source power he had developed, or some trivial skills he had learned in his previous life.

Instead of choosing the terrifying "strange talk power" of the mind flayer, he could feel that power, right inside that tree, right inside that biggest oil painting.

...To make a digression, if he accidentally took the heart of the gray tower, he could also put the heart back and add source power to heal it.

The other four oil paintings, the doctor boy who was unlocked, gave himself a little "healing power", so the source power he obtained "the princess with fire in one eye" has a slightly exaggerated power even as a source energy system. The power of 'conceptual peace-giving'.

The source messenger of the source energy system believes that "source force is omnipotent", but there are really people who can rely on the source energy system to do not only "create a lightsaber", but "give a certain emotion", it is estimated that They couldn't believe it either.

Gwen isn't worried that her psychic portrayal is false.

Mind is real.

Even if it is the minds of five people and there is a lunatic mind flayer who keeps screaming "go to mind flayer" among them, the influence of these minds on oneself is limited to [turning into an oil painting, and can provide a little transformation for oneself The initial source of force].

However, he never looked for ways to unlock the other four paintings.

But now it seems...

Maybe the one that unlocks the mind flayer is more important.

Gwen doesn't have the idea of ​​"step by step". As a classical school, what he advocates is "get a big vote".

The unlocking, of course, starts with the biggest one.

This had been his goal.

The power of mind flayers is staggeringly dangerous.

Gwen knew that the silver-masked man's own combat power was not very good, but after incorporating the source power of the mind flayer, he was able to achieve phantoms and precise control of the thread, and at the same time he was able to release 'spells'. It soared several levels in an instant.

If it wasn't for the jackal, it would take a little longer for him to win the opponent alone.

But if you want to unlock...

While he was thinking, the nun had already led him into a door.

It's an odd room, like a bar, but with bookshelves in a lot of places.

Different Force Messengers are reading and drinking.

The bunny-eared nun looked around and sighed:

"Oh, what a pity our mind flayers didn't come."
