Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 184
Chris and Ryan finished breakfast in the room. As soon as they left the room, they saw the fat man who came to their room last night, Steve.

"wake up?"

Steve chuckled and scratched his cheek:

"According to party procedures, it's time for us to go to the lobby for the meeting."

"What meeting are you attending?"

Chris looked at Ryan next to him, then looked at Steve.

It was his first time to attend a meeting of the Moss Ashram. He had no idea about the content of the meeting in advance and had no experience.

"Well, it's just a normal meeting," Steve said vaguely, "Go ahead, don't be late."

The three of them walked along the long corridor. They saw no one else along the way. It seemed that other members had already arrived in the hall.

They walked down the spiral staircase and came to the hall where the quiet period lifting ceremony was held last night.

"Astrologer" Gabrielle hasn't arrived yet, but the other members are already sitting on their seats, whispering.

But Chris found that the number of people was smaller. None of the seven "Secret Peepers" from last night came, and several "Fighting Scholars" also disappeared.

What about those people...

Chris muttered and took his seat from last night.

To his surprise, the others seemed unfazed by the situation, even Steve looked normal.

Chris covered his mouth and asked in a low voice:
"Ryan, where are those people?"

Ryan shook his head, and Steve came over and whispered:

"Did you see what happened last night?"

What about last night?

Chris thought for a moment and answered uncertainly:

"You're talking about last night, when Gabriel lifted the silent period for those 'Secret Peepers'?"

"Yeah, what did you see?" Steve then asked.

"They haven't finished digesting the 'Peeper' potion. Gabrielle seems to have used... the transfer method?"

Steve nodded, the fat on his face trembling:
"Yes, not only did they not finish digesting, but they also appeared symptoms that seemed to be out of control when the silence period was lifted and they were transformed by the hidden sages. It was Gabriel who helped them."

"Help? What does that mean?"

Steve took a deep look at Chris and said mysteriously:
"Graxe, all gifts from fate are marked with prices secretly. But here, the price is marked on the bill."

Chris seemed to realize something. He turned to look at the "wizards" and "scroll professors" beside the long table, and found that they all had more or less smiles on their faces.

pass-through method.

These three words flashed in his mind, and he also thought of what Wilmot once told him——

Oh, do you really think there is no danger in the "pass-through method"?Yes, for high-sequence Beyonders, this can indeed be used to reduce the risk of losing control, but for low-sequence Beyonders, the "transfer method" means death.

Have you never thought about how the knowledge instilled by the "Hidden Sage" is transferred from the low-sequence mind to the high-sequence brain?
Ryan poked Chris in the arm, and Chris came back to his senses with a serious expression on his face.

Yes, gaining knowledge comes at a price. The price is clearly marked, and they are not qualified to counter-offer... At this time, Gabrielle walked into the hall.

The Extraordinary people around the long table stood up and bowed together. Due to the lack of some people, the large long table seemed empty.

Before Gabrielle could speak, the "wizard" and "scroll professor" took out some dark crystal-like objects and placed them on the table.

"Your Excellency Gabrielle, this is Morana's extraordinary characteristic. She is Sequence 9, the 'Secret Peeper'."

"No, no need to say her name."

Gabrielle shook her head:

"The Lord will not like those people. We gave them a full five years to improve their concentration and practice. However, after the quiet period, they still failed to fully digest the magic potion. The Lord must be right Very disappointed.”

Were those people killed?Has it become a stepping stone for these people to listen to the ravings of the hidden sages and receive knowledge?

Chris cast a look at Ryan beside him, who shook his head, his eyes a little solemn.

Since Ryan was a Extraordinary when he was born, and his parents' status in the Moses Ascetic Order was not too low, he did not experience the "quiet period".

Because of this, he was not threatened by the "pass-through law" at the party held in Backlund five years ago.

These are the extraordinary characteristics that are released after the death of an extraordinary person...

Chris looked at the lenses that the people kept taking out, and they had gathered into a small pile on the table.

The evil characteristics of the secret organization are only now showing. The so-called "gathering" is just a disguise. Now they finally show their true face of evil and cruelty.

Chris took a deep breath and thought that due to the existence of the "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics", it seemed natural that high-sequence Extraordinaries of the same path would kill low-sequence Extraordinaries and recycle their Extraordinary characteristics.

…I remember that in the original work, Klein learned about the “Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics” from Dunn Smith at the end of the first part, and the “Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics” and “Law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics”, But I only found out about it later from Russell's diary.

As for Emperor Russell, he also knew these laws from Mr. "Gate"...

Moreover, during the Tarot Club, Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man", failed to fully understand the true meaning of the "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics" even under the guidance of Mr. Fool, and only had a vague understanding of it.

It can be inferred from this that these three laws are quite secretive. These Extraordinary of Sequence 7 and Sequence 6, they are likely to be deceived by Gabriel of Sequence 5...

The three laws of immortality, conservation, and aggregation of extraordinary characteristics in the mysterious world may be another meaning of "natural selection, survival of the fittest"...

He shook his head and looked at Gabrielle.

At this time, the latter picked up a dark crystal, put it under his nose and smelled it deeply, with a very intoxicated expression.

Chris raised his left eyebrow slightly and turned on his spiritual vision, observing Gabrielle.

Due to the existence of Star Island, the latter did not realize that he was being observed by others.

In a state of spiritual vision, Chris discovered that the color of Gabrielle's aura was changing with every sniff he took, just like breathing.

The biggest change was in his brain, where the dark and evil feeling seemed to merge with himself, forming a strange balance.

This is the influence of the hidden sage, this is the embodied knowledge that exists in Gabriel's brain and can never be eliminated, but it affects him all the time.

"Concretization" is not quite the right word either, since this knowledge exists only in Gabrielle's head.

Gabrielle is constantly undergoing transformation from the Hidden Sage,
To Chris's surprise, Gabriel waved his hand and scattered a burst of dark starlight. Starlight powder was sprinkled on the Extraordinary Characteristics in his hand, and then he swallowed it directly into his mouth without hesitation.
