Chapter 3275 The Ability of the Ghost Butler
Generally speaking, Xiaohong's interpretation of "taste" has a bit of a metaphysical flavor.
Even the dog steward who discovered Xiaohong's talent sometimes didn't understand what Xiaohong could smell and what information he could get.
The only thing that Dog Butler can determine is that Xiaohong is the most sensitive to the smell of "malice". As long as the malice is directed at Xiao Hong or someone related to her, she can smell it.
This is actually the reason why Xiaohong is not afraid of Angel and others, and even brings them to see Butler Dog without saying a word.
Because Angel, Laplace and others are all "good guys" in Xiaohong's eyes.
"Can detect malice and smell other special information. The most important thing is that everything happens unconsciously..." If Xiaohong hadn't taken the initiative to say something strange, Luigi wouldn't have even noticed her specialness. . These alone actually surprised Luigi.
Maybe it's not as powerful as you first thought, but it's not far behind.
Especially in the Wanshiwu House, where the hollow people gather together, she can fully utilize her abilities.
After Angel learned about Xiaohong's ability, the first thing he thought of was the Star Attendant in the heart space. Star Attendant is also a hollow person. Maybe we can ask Xiao Hong to help us take a look and get some hidden information on him?
However, this idea only existed for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unnecessary.
Star Attendant's past is actually not important, what is important is his future.
If you really want to worry about Star Attendant's past, you still have a wishing book. The information hidden in it is enough for Star Attendant to interpret in the future.
While Angel was thinking about it, Xiaohong had already returned to the guest room.
She happily ran to the table, handed the deacon token back to Deacon Dog, and then began to talk about the information she had found.
"Sipolov did come to the Wanshiwuwu. According to the information I found, he went to see the Ghost Deacon. However, I did not find out why he met the Ghost Deacon."
Butler Dog: "Go see the Ghost Butler, what can you do? It must be a commission. Sipolov has a special status, and his commission is probably the person behind it. But, is this commission about the Yingji tribe, or about a certain person? Then It’s hard to say.”
"But it doesn't matter. Sipolov will come over later, and then you will know Sipolov's intention."
The words of the Dog Butler shocked everyone, and even Xiaohong looked confused: "Is Sipolov coming to the Dog House? But, I didn't receive this news."
Butler Dog: "You don't need to receive the message, Butler Ghost will let him come. Just go and watch outside. When he comes, lead him to the guest room."
Although Xiaohong was still a little confused, since Butler Dog said so, it must be true. She nodded, followed the dog steward's instructions, and went outside the dog house to wait for Sipolov's arrival.
After Xiao Hong left, Luigi murmured: "Is she the only one of your direct investigators? Do you want her to handle everything as a child?"
Butler Dog turned his head in embarrassment: "She's not the only one. She's the only one who came to the party this time."
There are very few investigators directly under the Inu Butler, and most of them have the same "dead nerd" attributes as him. This time, the canine steward had never thought of coming. If he hadn't spoken personally, he would probably have stayed where he was, like the other direct investigators.
When Butler Dog came to the party, he naturally had to bring some investigators with him. Unfortunately, his subordinates had already caught wind of the incident and disappeared in the name of entrustment before the party started. Xiaohong was the only one with nothing to do, and Xiaohong also wanted to see the world, so Butler Dog brought her here alone.
Luigi shook his head and did not go into details, but returned to the topic: "Why were you sure that Sipolov would come just now? Did you secretly notify the Ghost Butler?"
Butler Dog shook his head: "That's not true. However, although I did not directly inform Butler Ghost, it is not too different..."
Butler Dog didn't hide anything and told the reason.
Ghost Butler is the strongest person in Wanshiwu in terms of intelligence gathering. It can even be said that the entire intelligence investigation system of Wanshiwu was built by the Ghost Deacon and his team.
It is precisely because the intelligence system is closely related to the Ghost Butler, so when Xiaohong took the Dog Butler's token to search for Sipolov, the Ghost Butler was definitely aware of it immediately.
Although the Ghost Butler didn't know why the Dog Butler wanted to check Sipolov, judging from the behavior of the inquiry, it can be seen that the Dog Butler was curious about Sipolov.
After many years of tacit understanding of cooperation, the Ghost Butler will definitely let Sipolov come to the dog house after confirming the Dog Butler's interest in Sipolov.
Luigi: "So, are you sure that Sipolov will come just because of his tacit understanding with the Ghost Butler for many years?"
Butler Dog nodded: "Yes. However, even if Xiaohong does not inquire about information, Sipolov will come to see me according to normal procedures."
Luigi: "Why do you say that?"
"Because there is a difference between a deacon's entrustment and an ordinary entrustment."
Ordinary entrustment only requires both parties to sign a good contract and make guarantees before it can proceed. But deacon entrustment must involve major events, and major events often have strong consequences.
It is even said that the client will conceal some information, which will lead to more serious consequences.
In order to avoid this situation, all the commissions accepted by the butlers must ask the client to come to the dog butler. Through the "ability" of the dog butler, the client's heart can be seen and confirmed that he has not concealed any information, and then the commission contract will be signed.
However, this process that requires the dog butler to identify the client's heart is generally done in the last few steps.
Sibolov just came to the Yorozuya today, and he doesn't have to go through this process.
However, because of Xiaohong's inquiry, the ghost butler will definitely take action. It is estimated that this process will be carried out in advance.
So, no matter what, if Sibolov wants to commission a butler, he will definitely come to see the dog butler, it's just a matter of time.
The answer of the dog butler can be regarded as clearing up Luigi's doubts.
However, the ghost butler mentioned in the dog butler's answer made Luigi curious again.
At present, although the Yorozuya has revealed three butlers to the outside world, only the dog butler appears most often, and the information of the human butler and the ghost butler is very scarce.
According to Gutales, the three butlers in the open all have special abilities. The dog butler can see into people's hearts, so what is the ability of the ghost butler? What is the ability of the human butler?
Facing Luigi's inquiry, the dog butler thought about it and did not refuse.
Anyway, Sibolov has not come yet, so it's okay to chat at this time. However, the things about other butlers are actually the secrets of the Yorozuya.
"I can tell you, but I can't say it directly."
In other words, the dog butler will express it in other euphemistic ways. At the same time, the dog butler also clearly said: "Even if you guess it, it has nothing to do with me. Also, I hope you'd better not spread these things."
Luigi patted his chest and promised without hesitation.
After all, the dog butler can barely be regarded as Laplace's time body. Luigi will definitely not pit the dog butler if he pits other people.
The dog butler pondered for a moment and began to think about the words. After a while, the dog butler seemed to have thought of something and looked back at Laplace: "Do you remember the lonely wind moth?"
Laplace nodded: "I remember, this is the story I told you."
When the dog butler was studied by Laplace, Laplace would occasionally tell the dog butler some pan-dimensional stories in his spare time.
These stories were all seen by Laplace through the reflection of the Sea of Mirrors.
They are called stories, but they are actually real.
Among them, there is a story called "The Lonely Wind Moth".
The wind moth is a strange creature, which is made of wind and clouds, but Laplace does not know whether it is an elemental creature. Because elemental creatures have various strange shapes, but the wind moth has only one shape: insect shape.
The wind moth lives in a gaseous plane, where there is almost only one species of wind moth.
Although the intelligent form of the wind moth cannot be seen from the reflection of the Sea of Mirrors, it can be seen from the details that the wind moth is a group creature. They live together all year round, forming a unique social civilization.
However, Laplace once discovered that there are some exceptions among the wind moths. They were born in groups, but eventually chose to leave alone.
This situation is very special. At first, Laplace thought that the situation of these wind moths was similar to that of penguins.
When penguins living in groups migrate, the large group will move in one direction at the same time. But occasionally there will be one or two penguins with "rebellious bones". They do not move with the large group, but leave the group and go to the distant mountains alone.
And these penguins who have lost their group will eventually die in a very short time.
Even if someone actively intervenes and corrects the penguin's route, they will still change direction and actively move towards death.
Laplace initially thought that wind moths, like penguins, have the situation of "calling the mountains". They respond to a call from a distant place, take the initiative to leave, and die heroically.
But later Laplace found that she was wrong.
Those moths that left alone did not die. They lived alone and wandered outside the moth group.
After a period of research, Laplace finally confirmed an answer.
These lonely moths actually did not know the existence of the group.
Their world only has themselves.
This is not to describe selfishness, but an objective fact.
Moths do not have eyes that normal creatures have, and they do not have the energy perspective to explore the surroundings. ——Because the world where moths live is itself gaseous, there is no need to explore the external environment.
The reason why moths gather together is that they have a common sound frequency.
They rely on the common sound frequency to sense other companions around them. No matter how far away they are, as long as the sound frequency is the same, they can call their companions to their side.
This is the truth of moth gathering.
And those lonely moths do not really want to be alone, but they have a completely different sound frequency from other moths. The wavelength is different, and they cannot sense the existence of other moths at all.
In their world, there is only themselves, and there are no other moths.
They do not yearn for the mountains, but the mountains themselves.
This is the story of "The Lonely Moth".
Although everyone understood the meaning of the story, they did not understand why the dog butler told this story at this time.
Luigi: "Is this story related to the ghost butler?"
The dog butler nodded gently: "It is related to the core. In a sense, the birth of the ghost butler is actually somewhat similar to that of the lonely moth."
The dog butler did not continue to talk, but went around in circles and talked about another thing: "You should know Mirror Mountain, right?"
Luigi nodded.
Mirror Mountain is the territory of the Head Mirror Clan. The Head Mirror Clan is very strange. They look like a humanoid race, but in fact, the outer shell is not important to them at all.
What is important is their "consciousness".
The Head Mirror is a stream of consciousness group. Their consciousness can move among all the head mirrors in the tribe, so their core lies in consciousness, and the body of that kind of person... can be shared. This kind of pure stream of consciousness race communicates internally through consciousness, and the external communication is "synthetic dialogue".
The dog butler should not mention a topic abruptly. It must have a purpose to mention Mirror Mountain.
Luigi pondered for a moment: "Ghost butler, is it the Head Mirror Clan?"
The dog butler did not answer, but its smile has proved that Luigi's guess is correct.
Then, the dog butler continued: "In fact, the head mirror family, in a sense, isn't it a group of wind moths?"
Although the head mirror family can communicate with the outside world, they use a tricky way to occupy the outer shell to interfere with the material world.
But the real inner meaning, that is, the core of the head mirror family - is still consciousness.
Because they have the same consciousness wave, they build a network of consciousness, and flow and blend in the consciousness network. They are a real consciousness group.
And the wind moths use the wavelength of sound to build a unique clustering form.
The two do have similarities.
Luigi: "Combining the two, is the ghost butler an alien of the head mirror family? Just like a lonely wind moth, it is incompatible with the consciousness network of the head mirror family?"
Although the dog butler did not say anything, his eyes have confirmed Luigi's guess.
Then, the dog butler told a story about a spider that was parasitized but still wove a web.
Combining the previous two stories, the outline of the ghost butler has been slowly portrayed.
The ghost butler was born in the head mirror clan, but it could not interact with the consciousness network of the head mirror clan at all, which means that it was eliminated by the head mirror clan from the beginning.
Even when the ghost butler was eliminated, he did not even have a useful body, and his pure consciousness was exiled.
Later, the ghost butler got the help of the founder of the Wanshiwu and luckily occupied a human body.
And this human was a hollow man who had just passed through the sea eye and was picked up by the tooth fairy.
Perhaps because of the passage through the sea eye, this hollow man was forming a special talent, and as the ghost butler merged into the hollow man's body, the special talent was combined with the ghost butler's own consciousness.
In the end, the ghost butler not only got a body, but also got a special talent.
- Creating a consciousness cloud.
