Chapter 699 The Moment of Eating (14)

The performance is still a performance, but this time Fu Qian chose a new plot direction, changing the style from last time.

Faced with his firm stance, Dr. Cynthia just stared blankly and was not in a hurry to express an opinion.

"Interesting question."

And under such eyes, Fu Qian suddenly snorted half a minute later, with disdain in his words.

"Under normal circumstances, I really wouldn't ask myself this."

"...Patch?"

After a few seconds of pause, his tone finally became a little hesitant.

"Boring thoughts."

As if to convince himself, Fu Qian even shook his head.

And for the rest of the time, he chose to remain silent for a long time.

Even so, you can still see the smile on his face disappearing little by little.

Or call it transfer.

Because Dr. Cynthia obviously looked very satisfied.

It seems that I am quite happy to see the changes before and after.

And just as Fu Qian frowned and clenched her fists, she lifted the black curtain and covered the Soul Guide again.

I was shocked before paying, as if I woke up from a dream.

But after looking up at Cynthia, the next moment he took a deep breath and dispelled the hesitation and confusion on his face.

"It is indeed an interesting and extraordinary item. For me, it is a rare experience."

"Oh, why is it so rare?"

Cynthia was noncommittal, took the pen and paper, and started recording seriously.

…

Such a move seems to have caused some psychological pressure.

He hesitated for a moment before paying, and then started to organize his words.

"Talk to and examine yourself from a special perspective, and of course there will be a little noise occasionally."

"Understandable, so what is the noise?"

Cynthia continued to ask while recording.

"...Patch."

He hesitated for a moment before paying, and finally spit out a name.

"He calls me Patch."

"'He' calls you, or do you call yourself?"

Cynthia's smile grew wider.

…

"It's just gibberish, is there any need to distinguish?

After pondering for a moment, Fu Qian snorted and tapped his head with his fingers.

"Is it possible that you want to tell me that that is the true understanding deep in my heart?"

"Trying to make me doubt myself with such boring conjectures? You are still a little too naive."

"I'm a tester, and I don't have any frivolous tendencies."

Facing the previous accusations, Cynthia’s smile did not diminish.

"As far as I'm concerned, all I need is for you to answer questions honestly."

"So let me ask again, does that name just now seem familiar to you?"

"I hope you will think carefully before answering me, instead of just consoling yourself out of timidity."

"I do not understand what you mean."

"Don't you understand? Patch should understand, so think about it again."

Cynthia stroked the pen in her hand.

…

Finally fell silent before paying.

After a long time, he raised his head and made a familiar request.

"I'm going to go down there again to confirm some things."

"I'm glad you're starting to realize your true self."

Cynthia didn't feel guilty at all for deceiving someone into lameness, and added a note with a smile.

"But you have to wait a moment. This time you will be tested with two other people...or should I say three people? Before you confirm your real name..."

She continued the devil's ravings and watched with satisfaction as Fu Qian's face became even darker.

However, she called the two guards over and was about to ask them to take Fu Qian out first. The next moment, Cynthia frowned.

"you……"

Her expression quickly solidified, and she looked Fu Qian up and down with a look of disbelief.

"You're kidding me!"

The next moment, this man's tone turned gritty.

"I don't know what you mean."

The law of conservation of smile came into effect again, and the corners of Fu Qian's mouth turned up a little.

"You didn't even hear Patch!"

Cynthia accused fiercely.

Knew it!

Facing Cynthia, who was on an emotional roller coaster, Fu Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Considering that he was immune to the effect of Soul Draw, of course he didn't hear the word Patch.

The performance just now was just for testing.

It proved to be quite fruitful.

Now before paying, I already had a bold guess as to how this person confirmed that he was lying.

Taking the whole process into consideration, the cognition I showed has gone through several ups and downs.

First, he firmly denies being affected by cognition, then he doubts himself under the influence of soul guidance, and finally, after reluctantly anchoring his cognition, he doubts again under the guidance of Cynthia.

Miraculously, the result was the same as last time.

When she doubted herself in the face of Soul Lead, Cynthia obviously didn't realize that she had been deceived.

But then, when her stable mind was shaken again because of her words, she saw through her without any warning.

Both times, Fu Qian didn't think he had revealed any flaws.

But excluding this aspect, Fu Qian, who is good at divergent thinking, thought of a special common point - the two times Cynthia noticed it were when "she" wanted to influence her.

The first time, she tried to convince herself that Patch was just a cognitive influence on her. The second time, it was just the opposite. She wanted to convince herself that Patch was her true self.

They seem to be completely opposite, but in essence, she is trying to use words to guide and change her own perception.

And he followed the trend and pretended to be persuaded by her, but she soon discovered all of it.

In contrast, she was completely unaware of it when she pretended to be misled by the guidance of her soul.

The difference between the two, in fact, lies in the influence exerted actively by "her" - Cynthia. Only if she is deceived will she notice it immediately.

It sounds quite fantasy, but in fact, before paying, you can think of a scenario that makes this possible.

In previous missions, I had encountered something called an oath.

And in those events, under the influence of special existence, some conceptual things will become materialized around "him", such as sin, depravity, etc.

So is it possible that the Mingju below is similar to the goddess of sin and the angel mirror?

Does it make fraud, or the distortion of other people's perceptions, tangible?

Once you accept this setting, Dr. Cynthia's reaction is easy to understand.

If she really believed in the deliberate guidance she gave herself, she would receive some kind of concrete feedback.

On the other hand, no matter how flawlessly her performance is, as long as she does not receive feedback, she can confirm that she is just pretending to be deceived.

This is what she said, and she would never tell her how to distinguish it!

In addition, there is another point that can support this judgment-it is reincarnated annually and only lasts for a short fixed period of time.

Almost all the oaths I encountered in the past had this characteristic.
