Chapter 3830: Soul Rest

Chapter 3829: Soul Rest

Zuniga chuckled and said, "I don't want to express anything, I just made a small guess."

"Most of the medical staff and patients here stay in the 14th Town all year round, and their social circle is also here. Just ask about their social circles, and you can know their lives, experiences, personalities, preferences... Combined with these details, and a little speculation, you can know what kind of reactions they will make under what circumstances."

"Everyone's circumstances are different, so they will have different reactions to the same thing."

"For example, if the Beverly Nursing Center has just experienced a dangerous virus leak disaster that may lead to the risk of doomsday, even if this disaster has been resolved now, their reactions should be different."

Zuniga paused.

"They just experienced a virus disaster, and it's the time when they have intense emotional reactions. They may contact their families, go to the pub, or vent in the Red Alley... This is human nature."

"But if they have no emotional waves, they are still on duty, doing research on the virus, and they are very focused on the progress... Do you think this is normal?"

At this point, Zuniga turned his head and glanced at Angel.

Angel lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't notice his gaze.

"So, I boldly guess that they may have been hypnotized. It is even possible that everyone in the nursing center has been hypnotized."

"Of course, this is just my guess. However, I always like to live the worst guess as a normal life."

"So, even if this is a guess, in my opinion, it is the fact..."

"Being able to hypnotize so many people at the same time, this ability is really terrible."

Zuniga's sigh was sincere.

In the eyes of others, even in the eyes of the medical staff in the bureau, everything in the nursing center is normal. However, if you investigate a little deeper, you will find that the people inside are too calm.

This large-scale hypnosis even makes Zuniga feel like a "meme".

And the one who caused all this is most likely the alien behind him.

On the other side, after listening to Zuniga's story, Angell also had a flash of enlightenment in his heart. Sure enough, the flaw is in the Beverly Care Center.

Previously, in order to complete the hidden mission and to keep the medical staff and patients calm and avoid mistakes, he forcibly suppressed everyone's emotions.

At that time, Angell didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

But unexpectedly, this small detail was discovered by Zuniga, and then he inferred that he had the ability of group hypnosis.

Although Angell personally felt that Zuniga's inference had a logical fault, he was not prepared to refute it... Zuniga had already pointed out his personality. Regardless of whether the speculation was true or not, he was not afraid to speculate others with the worst case scenario.

For a person like Zuniga, as long as he firmly believes in his own ideas, he will not believe it even if he is refuted and his logical faults are corrected.

Unless there is absolute evidence that his guess is wrong, then there is a possibility of refuting him.

But his guess itself is true, and it is impossible for Angel to refute him with "facts".

So, Angel remained silent.

And his silence, in Zuniga's view, is a default.

Zuniga continued: "As for your ability to monitor me, I don't need to explain this. I believe you know the reason. Our overlap is too coincidental. Every time I enter the challenge space, you will appear by my side. In my opinion, this can only be done with special monitoring abilities."

Angel: "You know I can monitor you, so why do you come to Beverly Care Center?"

Zuniga: "I came here, and I know you know. But it doesn't matter, because I came here to show an attitude, an attitude that I want to see you."

If Angel really continued to monitor himself, then Zuniga knew very well that if Angel didn't want to see him, then he couldn't find Angel no matter how hard he tried.

But this does not mean that Zuniga will give up.

He kept running around, going to the central area for a while, and then going to the Beverly Nursing Center, just to show his attitude.

He told Angel with his behavior, I want to see you.

As for whether Angel is willing to see him, Zuniga doesn't know, but he can wait.

Now... he has waited.

...

"So, you asked the boy to collect information about the social circle of medical staff and patients before?"

Angel did not deny it again.

Zuniga nodded: "Yes, it seems that your surveillance cannot be perfect. You can only monitor me, but not the boy."

Angel: "..."

After listening to Zuniga's "speculation", Angel finally confirmed it in his heart.

Before, when Zuniga and the boy were talking on the roof, they suddenly chose to communicate with consciousness, and it was probably to test himself.

Angel thought Zuniga was doing it for convenience...

Now it seems that he is still too young.

Zuniga is completely an old fox.

Seeing Angel suddenly silent, Zuniga smiled and said, "The topic seems to have reached a deadlock. Let me go back to the previous story. I haven't made an ending extension for the previous story... But I think you should have guessed why I want to tell that story, right?"

Angel: "Are you worried that I will monitor you and hypnotize you?"

"I am just an old man, and there is nothing shameful in my life. Moreover, I have also experienced a stage where my life is transparent and everyone is watching me. So if you want to monitor me, I don't care so much." Zuniga paused and changed the subject: "But I am indeed worried that you will hypnotize me."

"Monitoring can't change my will, nor can it stop my freedom, but hypnosis can."

Zuniga: "I I don't want to be hypnotized, but I also know that I may not be able to stop your behavior, and even facing your hypnosis, I may not be able to resist it. "

"All I can do is change myself."

"Just like the lich in the story, I also separated a part of my soul, will, and memory and hid it in the 'box'."

"Although this box does not have the rebirth ability of the lich box, I have given it the subjective initiative to distinguish."

"It is like a remote control machine. Once it finds that my body is hypnotized, it can press that button in a distant unknown place. Let my body completely perish."

In other words, Zuniga would rather die than become a hypnotized person.

Angel can see that most of what Zuniga said is true.

But there are some words in it, and some lies are mixed in. But which one is false and which one is true, Angel can't judge.

However, Angel now understands.

Why did Zuniga create such a special space before meeting him, and such a long staircase, and a seemingly unrelated "lich" story.

All his preparations were just to tell Angel that he resisted all forms of hypnosis.

Rather die than die.

Angel understood Zuniga's thoughts. If anyone knew that he could be hypnotized at any time, or even change his mind silently, he would probably find it hard to endure.

Especially, this person was a strong man.

Even if he looked like an ordinary homeless man now, nothing on the outside could erase the pride hidden inside.

Angel was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "In fact, the people in the Beverly Care Center were not hypnotized. I just suppressed their emotions."

"As you just said, the doomsday disaster is right in front of us. Panic cannot solve the disaster, and it may even aggravate it."

"But everyone has a different personality. Some people will be desperate, pessimistic, and give up when facing disasters. I can't dominate everyone, so I can only choose to suppress their emotions and keep them calm."

"Of course, I also did some guidance on some key matters. For example, after solving the doomsday disaster, I guided the doctors to study the virus because there are still many infected people in the care center who have not recovered."

Zuniga: "I know, I saw it. In the daily news, it describes you as an unknown savior."

"It is precisely because I know you are a good person that I choose to kidnap you with morality."

Angel looked at Zuniga with some surprise: "You are honest."

Zuniga: "Because I have also been kidnapped by morality."

Zuniga's eyes were a little dark, but he didn't say much. Angel chuckled and nodded: "Okay, I promise you not to use hypnosis... Well, I won't use the ability to affect emotions."

"Of course, the premise is that we can be honest with each other." Angel: "Because, I have a lot of things to ask you."

Zuniga: "I can see that if you don't have something to ask me, you probably won't come to see me."

Angel nodded without comment.

The main reason why he promised Zuniga not to use hypnosis is indeed related to the "Lich Box" mentioned by Zuniga.

If what Zuniga said is true, he split his consciousness and hid it, so it would be difficult to find it.

Although the God's perspective can see a lot of things, if things are deliberately hidden, he still can't find them. For example, if the boy Fengwen is hiding his actions, Angel may not be able to find him with the God's perspective.

In other words, Zuniga is really determined to hide his "consciousness box", and the probability of Angel finding it is not too high.

And once Angel fails to find the "consciousness box", Zuniga can use the split mind to detonate his body at any time.

Zuniga... in Angel's opinion, is the spawning point of high-end fashion monsters.

It's a pity to let him die like this.

For this reason, Angel can't let Zuniga die.

At this time, they have come to the end of this long staircase, and the door with red light is just in front.

Zuniga turned his head and said, "I am very grateful that you chose to step into the spiritual resting place. I believe we will have a sincere conversation next."

After speaking, Fengwen's eyes slowly changed from the previous calmness to confusion and clarity.

Obviously, Zuniga's will has left its body.

Fengwen shook his head and looked at the red door in front of him: "Ah, are we here?"

Fengwen turned and looked at Angel: "First, the gentleman is here. Then shall we go in?"

Looking at the boy who had become timid again, Angel smiled and nodded: "Let's go."

As they stepped into the red light door, everything around them changed.

According to reality, they should be on the roof of that building at this time. But when Angel looked around, he saw a small room decorated with "notes" everywhere.

There are black and red stripes on the top of the head, and black and red musical notes on the ceiling.

The floor was the same style, but instead of stripes it was black and red marble tiles.

The candles on the walls, the coloring of the baroque tables and chairs in the middle, the style of the carpets... everything is dominated by black and red notes.

It looks more like a lounge that is obsessed with the gorgeous style of musical notes.

Zuniga was sitting at the end of the tea table in the center of the lounge.

When he saw Angel walking in, Zuniga stood up and came over.

"Welcome to the spiritual resting place."

…

A resting place for the soul.

This is the name of this lounge.

After Angel entered here, he felt the energy information flowing around him.

He directly intercepted part of it for analysis.

He thought that the information analyzed this time was still vague. Just like the energy hidden under the stairs before, we can only know the general situation.

However, the information analyzed this time surprised him... it was unexpectedly detailed.

"Soul Rest: An unstable space built by spiritual notes. Everyone within the scope of the Soul Rest, including the builder, can only tell the truth and cannot tell lies. Once a lie is told, the Soul Rest It will collapse and dissipate immediately.”

When Angel parsed this information, Zuniga on the opposite side was saying the same thing.

"Didn't you hope that we could be honest before? This place perfectly meets your requirements."

"This space is called the Soul Rest, and it is constructed from the spiritual notes of La La Land. Within the scope of the Soul Rest, you can only tell the truth, not lies, including me."

"In this way, the communication between us is absolutely sincere."

What Zuniga said was similar to the information analyzed by Angel himself.

It's most likely true.

However, there is one more term that worries Angel: La La Land?

Although Angel was curious, he did not ask immediately. Instead, he followed Zuniga's words and said, "What if we lied?"

Zuniga: "If you tell a lie, the spiritual sanctuary will collapse directly. This collapse will not have much impact on you and me. The only impact is the process and result of our communication."

Previously, on the third floor, Zuniga once said something to Angel: Whether you move forward or stop, we will eventually meet. But there are differences in meeting in different ways.

At the time, Angel didn't quite understand what Zuniga meant.

Now, he understands.

Zuniga and Angel are strangers themselves. Zuniga cannot trust Angel, and Angel cannot trust Zuniga.

On the basis of mutual distrust, if you want to have frank communication, there must be some external catalytic factors.

The spiritual resting place is this factor.

When they have a rest of their souls, in their conversations, even if they each have something to hide, what they are willing to say is at least true.

Without a place of spiritual rest, there will naturally be gaps.

That's why Zuniga said that there are differences in different ways of meeting. The process and results of communication will also be different due to this.
