Chapter 897 Erosion and Transformation
"Okay, I think this is Euphilia's world of consciousness."
Standing at the gate of the manor in front of him, Duanmu Huai moved his body. This was the first time he used this ability to sneak into other people's subconsciousness after returning from that future world.
Of course, this ability can be used in several ways, such as stealing other people's desires to make them repent, just like the Phantom Thieves. But Duanmu Huai was too lazy to make such trouble, and strictly speaking, he didn't know how the Phantom Thieves stole the other party's desires, so Duanmu Huai planned to use a more straightforward way.
After all, this is the other party's world of consciousness, that is, as long as the other party's consciousness can be convinced, then the person outside will also be affected.
To put it bluntly, it's brainwashing.
As for whether it can succeed, you will know after you see it.
But then again, this ghost place is really weird.
Duanmu Huai walked into the gate of the manor and looked around carefully. From the outside, it seems to be just a luxurious manor building. But if you look closely, you will find that everything here is not real. For example, flowers, plants and trees, at first glance, seem to be real, but if you look closely, you will find that these things are not real, but more like simulations made of plastic or something like that.
Not only that, the whole manor feels like it has not been cleaned for a long time. How to say it... It feels more like an abandoned theme park?
"Euphelia?"
Duanmu Huai shouted loudly, but there was no response.
This should be the place, right?
In short, you will know after going in.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai pushed open the door and walked into the house in front of him, and then...
"Wow, what the hell is this?"
He was instantly frightened by the scene in front of him.
Inside the hall, the walls on both sides were densely hung with various portraits. Of course, Duanmu Huai didn't recognize any of the people in the portraits, but fortunately, there were names under these portraits - well, they were all the same name, should they be portraits of Euphelia's family?
Why did she hang this thing when she had nothing to do?
Of course, the conscious world is the reflection of everyone's inner world. If you insist on explaining it, Euphilia has a deep ancestor worship complex... Damn, I'm not Freud, why worry about this?
Duanmu Huai shook his head and continued to move forward.
However, as if there was some kind of mechanism, just as Duanmu Huai was moving, the portraits on both sides of the wall suddenly spoke one by one.
"The Mazanta family is a famous family with a long history."
"We have never given up our duties."
"It is our responsibility to fight for this country and the royal family and be loyal."
"Euphilia, you have to be a perfect princess and assist the king."
"This is your responsibility."
Is this what others said to Euphilia?
Duanmu Huai walked forward while listening carefully to the voice coming from the portrait. In fact, it is not wrong. After all, Euphilia must go through strict education to be a princess. Just like the queens around the ancient emperors, it is not an easy thing to be a queen with both talent and virtue.
Obviously, judging from Euphilia's performance, she did work very hard for this.
Unfortunately, people with different ideals cannot work together.
"Your Highness Algard."
Suddenly, Euphilia's voice sounded, and Duanmu Huai looked in the direction of the voice. He saw that the voice came from an oil painting, which should be Euphilia and Algard, sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting - well, it's also normal for an engaged couple to date.
"Euphilia, what do you think of the country now?"
"Hey? I don't understand what you mean..."
"Don't you think that the nobles are too stupid to regard themselves as superior just by relying on elf magic and bloodline? The human magic system is gradually spreading, and elf magic is no longer as needed as before, but the nobles are still high and mighty. Isn't this a problem?"
"Indeed... I think what His Highness Algard said makes sense, but isn't this what we should do? Let the nobles and the common people understand each other and cross the barriers. I think that as long as the nobles can understand this, we can gradually change the current situation..."
"Wow..."
Hearing Euphilia's answer, Duanmu Huai curled his lips. He finally understood why Algard said that he and Euphilia were on different paths and could not work together. From Euphilia's answer, it can be seen that she thinks there is a problem with the current country, but Euphilia thinks that this is not a problem between classes, but a problem between people.
It's like saying that it's not the landlord class that's bad, but some landlords, so as long as we make the landlords do good, we can continue to maintain it.
But it's normal to think about it carefully. After all, Euphilia herself is a noble. If she had that kind of political awareness, she would have started with her own family.
"Euphilia. Mazenta!"
Soon, another oil painting appeared in front, and then Algard's voice sounded.
"I didn't expect you to do such a shameless thing. Do you still have the awareness of being a princess?"
"This... Your Highness, please listen to my explanation..."
"That's enough, I don't need your explanation. A woman like you is not qualified to be a princess, so I am announcing here that I will terminate my engagement with Euphilia Mazanta!"
"————!"
Oh, this is what Anisphia said about the scene when Algard broke off the engagement to Euphelia after he left.
Duanmuhuai looked at Algard who left heartlessly in the oil painting, and then looked at Euphilia who was kneeling on the ground and crying behind him - this was the plot of some third-rate romance novel. It seemed that deep down in the heart of this daughter, I also have similar feelings, but this is not surprising. When I was in junior high school, most of the readers of the pocket books at the school gate were these little girls.
"But I'm not done yet..."
"That's right."
Soon, Euphilia's voice sounded again, and this time, it echoed throughout the hall.
"I am Euphilia Mazenta. I represent the entire family. Even if my engagement is terminated, I am still a member of the glorious Mazenta family. I can still use my magic, and my knowledge is I will fight for the royal family and the country. I will inherit the glory of my family and continue to pass it on like my ancestors. It will never end with me..."
"That's right, Euphilia."
At this moment, another voice sounded quietly.
"You are the pride of our Mazanta family. You have unparalleled adaptability to elf magic. As long as you still stand here, no one can oppose you. Remember, the heart that believes is magic... your power source……………"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face suddenly darkened. He was not familiar with this voice, but the voice just now made him alert.
I see!
"roll!"
Duanmu Huai raised his right foot and stamped hard on the ground. Immediately afterwards, with Duanmuhuai as the center, pitch-black flames spread out like an exploding ring of fire, rushing in all directions. At the same time, an unimaginable scene happened.
Just as the flames shot out towards the surrounding walls, carpets and paintings, the walls, carpets and paintings, which originally looked the same, suddenly split apart and turned into countless strange light spots. Quickly spread around.
If you look carefully, you will find that these light spots are actually little fairies. They look like ordinary young girls with insect-like wings on their bodies. The whole body is exuding a magical shimmer. If it were seen from the outside world, then this must be a cutie with a title like "Flower Fairy".
But it’s a pity…………
"Sure enough, I knew it was you subspace bastards who were causing trouble here!"
However, it is a pity that the cute appearance of these little goblins did not make Duanmu Huai's heart move at all. On the contrary, he sneered, and the flames around him instantly spread and exploded again. The flames flew towards the little goblins like poisonous snakes, facing the explosion. The little goblins were frightened by the flaming snake, screaming and flapping their wings desperately trying to get away. But then they were completely swallowed up by the splashing flames.
Under the burning of the flames, the little goblin's originally white and delicate skin quickly began to become shriveled and dark, and the cute face also turned into a ferocious and strange look, like an insect. The screaming mouth opened in the middle, and sickle-like mouthparts came out of it.
Even the convex and concave body that was originally wearing a swimsuit-like tights was torn apart like a ball and exploded, revealing the arthropod-like interior composed of squirming flesh and blood - and then completely turned into ashes. .
With the explosion of flames, the entire manor shook. For a moment, countless little goblins screamed and flew up from the ground, trying to escape from this terrible fire disaster. However, Duanmu Huai was merciless, and with the explosion of destiny, all the surrounding subspace monsters were burned to ashes.
As the flames receded, the original luxurious manor disappeared, leaving only a small wooden cabin.
"Sure enough, I knew these bastards had no good intentions."
Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the completely changed world of consciousness in front of him. It was obvious that these subspace monsters used some means to completely cover their conscious world. Just like what Duanmu Huai saw just now, whether it was the ground, grass, flowers, trees, or manor, everything was a disguised world formed by these subspace monsters covering the owner's original consciousness. This also means that they can control their consciousness as they wish in this way.
Um? So according to this statement, is Algard's consciousness also controlled by those subspace monsters?
Well, just find some time to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai retracted his thoughts and then walked into the wooden house. In the wooden house, he saw Euphilia curled up into a ball and looking at him tremblingly.
At the same time, a little goblin bravely flew over and stretched out his hand to block Euphilia.
"Don't come here, you devil! Don't bully Euphilia!"
"It's not your turn to speak."
Duanmuhuai didn't even look at the little goblin. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The next moment, he crushed the little goblin in front of him into a bloody wreck like a fly. .
"ah-----!"
Seeing this scene, Euphilia screamed even more. She held her head with both hands and squatted on the ground trembling, while Duanmu Huai reached out and grabbed Euphilia and lifted her up.
"No, don't come over... Give my friends back to me, they are all my friends...!"
"No, you don't have any friends anymore."
Looking at Euphilia in front of him, Duanmu Huai also frowned. At present, this guy is obviously poisoned. Although it is unknown what those subspace demons have instilled in her, it is obviously impossible to convince her with words alone. But it doesn't matter, after all, Duanmu Huai is not good at this... Fortunately, he also learned another trick from Lingnu.
"Listen carefully, Euphilia."
While staring at the girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai looked at her viciously.
"From now on, you are my slave. Listen to me and do what I say. Do you understand me? You no longer have self-awareness. From now on, I am your master. Just do what I say."
"No, no, don't... don't..."
However, facing Duanmu Huai's threat, Euphilia shook her head desperately and tried to struggle.
Well, this is also within the plan. I knew it would not be so easy to convince her.
"Hmph, since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame me for being rude."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai threw Euphilia to the ground, then waved his right hand and closed the door directly.
"You, what do you want to do? No... You can't... Ah ah ah!!!"
The next moment, the girl's scream came out.
