Chapter 2660 Interrogation of Gnostics (Ⅱ)

Dr. Saul has a similarity to Metatron, and is also a "higher mind flayer" born with six tentacles, and is also the most famous scholar in the city.

The laboratory chaired by Dr. Saul has been working on the same topic for many years, which is to try to transplant mature mind flayer tadpoles into various weird hosts.

These non-humanoid creatures are generally considered unsuitable as hosts for mind flayers, and they are forcibly transplanted. As a result, both the tadpoles of the mind flayer and the host die.

But after so many years of research and accumulation, Dr. Saul and his assistants have summed up a lot of experience and lessons, and occasionally successful works will come out.

One of the most famous achievements is the successful transplantation of mind flayer tadpoles into the tree rope demon, and it has survived to this day.

Why would such a typical scholar get involved?

Joan really couldn't figure it out.

Dr. Saul seemed to see the confusion in his eyes, and took the initiative to explain.

"Brother Gnostic, about three months ago, some of my assistants successfully trapped a beholder named Vayu. Have you heard of this?"

"I've heard about it." Joan replied truthfully.

"During this period of time, I have been using Vayu as a sample to comprehensively study the psychological and physical characteristics of the beholder creature. The next step is to use Vayu as an experimental subject, implant tadpoles, and try to breed a brand new creature. "

"Oh, the Mind Flayer Beholder?" Joan asked with great interest.

"That's right, but I prefer the code name 'Mind Vision'." Dr. Saul replied with a smile.

"You two, please don't digress!" Metatron interjected coquettishly, "Dr. Saul, if you want to discuss academic topics with the Gnostic brothers, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so let's get down to business now!"

"Sorry, let's get down to business first." Dr. Saul stroked his tentacles and said carefully, "In order to ensure the success of the experiment, I applied a 'mind probe' to the subject to check her background experience, but unexpectedly, From Vayu's memory we find something about Samael and the Gnostic brothers."

"Doctor, you might as well tell me what you found."

Elder Lemuel said calmly.

"That's right, Wayu's mentality is very abnormal, extremely twisted, full of crazy thoughts and delusions of being persecuted. Of course, beholders are probably like this, so it's not worth making a fuss about."

"The special thing about Vayu is that she is extremely hostile to her neighbor, that is, Mitra, the magic eye arcanist of Udinos. Drive out of Udinos, and occupy Mithra's territory."

"In order to achieve this goal, Vayu often uses the scrying crystal ball to spy on Mithra's territory, especially when Mithra is out, as long as possible, Vayu will follow secretly."

"Through long-term voyeurism and stalking, Vayu discovered a secret of Mitra."

Having said that, Dr. Saul stopped, as if intentionally or unintentionally whetting the appetite of the audience.

Joan kept listening, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. He couldn't guess whether Mitra's privacy was seen by that voyeur of Vayu, and he would be implicated.

"One day many years ago, Vayu found Mitra leaving his lair and following another beholder out of the city." Dr. Saul continued.

"At first, Vayu thought that Mitra wanted to assassinate that compatriot, but after following up, he found that Mitra did not attack secretly, but openly stopped the beholder, and asserted that the other party was a spy from Odes. Some kind of secret method, disguised as a beholder, sneaked into Udinos to find out information."

"It turned out to be what Mitra said, that beholder is indeed a counterfeit!" Dr. Saul turned to look at Joan, "Brother Gnostic, am I right?"

"That's right, I was the one who sneaked into Udinos pretending to be a beholder to collect information."

Joan answered truthfully according to Gnostic memory.

"This is the order of my arcane instructor Samuel at the time. He lent me a magic crown. After wearing it, I can become a beholder. True seeing is seen through, and Mitra is one of the very few beholders who are proficient in 'true seeing' in the city of Udinos."

"At that time, Mitra stopped me and asked me to hand over the beholder crown, so that I could live."

"Of course I refused to agree, so I started a fight with her, because the place where the fight was near Udinos, I was worried about attracting more enemies, so I was eager to escape, but I was accidentally knocked down by Mitra's spell. And the magic crown fell from his head."

"The beholder crown was taken by Mitra?" Elder Raguel asked.

"Only the main body of the crown was taken away by her, and the gemstone of the main eye is still in my hand. Without the gemstone of the main eye, this crown is worthless to Mitra who is blind." Joan replied.

"Did you report to the mastermind afterwards?" Elder Sariel asked this time.

Joan hesitated for a moment, and took advantage of the "spiritual theater" time won by "polarized cognition" to calmly adjust his facial expressions and pretend to be guilty.

"I wanted to report, but Samael took my portable brain aid and said that he wanted to report the matter to the master brain in person. Later, when he returned the brain aid to me, it recorded the information about me and Mithra. All conflicting data have been deleted."

"Unfortunately, Samael lied, my child, and he didn't report it to me." Noah, the mastermind, sighed telepathically, "Perhaps from that moment on, Samael had already begun to betray his compatriots." with the community in mind.”

"Great Noah, I'm sorry, I should have reported all this to you, but I was too naive at the time, I trusted Samael wholeheartedly, and I didn't suspect that he was deceiving me and using me."

Qiao An said the words of confession and blame prepared in advance, and suddenly realized that he has a talent for acting!

Of course, this is mainly due to "polarized cognition".

"Never mind, my boy, go on, did you have any contact with Mitra afterward?" asked the Mastermind.

"Under Samael's guidance, I dealt with Mitra a few times later, and found that this guy's way of thinking is different from ordinary beholders. He seems to be more... how should I put it, more ambitious and bold, Contempt for tradition and use the means to achieve ends."

"Coincidentally, Vayu also commented on Mitra in this way in her memory, and this is one of the reasons why she particularly hates Mitra." Dr. Saul interjected with a smile.

"It's not surprising. Ordinary beholders don't have the heart to sacrifice their main eyes to advance to the 'Evil Eye Arcanist'." Metatron commented.
