Chapter 361 Amber

When Mr. Otter regained consciousness again, the party had already ended.

It was as if he was drunk and his consciousness was completely cut off... He couldn't even recall anything after Ultramarine arranged his collar. But he didn't pass out, he just walked like a zombie.

He opened his eyes and noticed that he was on the floating car. There were no signs of dragging or pulling on the clothes on his body, which showed that he came up voluntarily.

"You're awake, Mr. Otter."

Ultramarine, who was sitting next to him, gently handed over a glass of hot water.

It's like he knew he would wake up at this moment...

——Or maybe he knew that he had just lost consciousness?

Sitting on the floating car, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine. The muscles between his cheek and his neck were tingling with fear, as well as his teeth.

If it were people from other empty islands, they might not think too much about this.

But no matter what he said, he was still from Tongshen Island.

After the "Danbai Incident", the locals born on Tongshen Island knew and feared demons far better than the people on the outer islands.

Moreover, Mr. Otter is also a senior executive of the research department... Although his moral character may be lacking, his professional skills are by no means inferior to anyone.

Normally, psychic energy cannot directly change another person's mind.

Psychic power is the power of the mind to "change reality with emotions."

Because any modification to the mind may directly lead to the birth of new psychics - such as controlling other people's minds, rewriting other people's memories, making others do what they want to do involuntarily, and hypnosis without leaving any trace.

That is the power that only the "Mage" and the "Church" possess.

When they looked at Director Sally Russ, it was normal for them to be affected by the power entangled in her... That was the elf director after all.

But ultramarine is different.

Because in addition, there is a very special situation.

...That's the devil.

Just like the gold coins left behind by "Mammon", it can make people pale. Other demons all have the means to make their own "familiar"... They can silently rewrite other people's minds from dreams, implant certain thoughts, or absorb emotions and memories——

And Ultramarine is a psyker... he's the one with the chip, he can't be a mage.

This indicates a terrifying fact.

——The hero "Ultramarine" worshiped by Happy Island has turned into a devil at an unknown time!

Although Mr. Otter realized the terrible truth in his heart, he did not dare to tell anyone.

I'm afraid he was the only one whose fear was sucked away by Russell; that is to say, he was the only one who knew this secret.

Judging from the enthusiastic attitude of Chairman Thrall and Director Sally Ruth towards Ultramarine, and his reaction when he absorbed the fear in his heart, this may be a diabolical experiment secretly carried out by those named elves!

And Ultramarine is their precious experimental subject - perhaps even earlier, before Ultramarine entered Happy Island, he was already an awakened devil!

As both an experimenter, Mr. Ta knows how valuable this unique "orphan mutant" is in the eyes of other researchers.

Before sufficient repeatability can be obtained, no one must be allowed to hurt him even a little bit——

Therefore, knowing that there might be an awakened demon under Russell's skin, and that he might even be transformed into a familiar, Mr. O could only accompany Russell back to the research institute in fear. He didn't even dare to ask anything on the way. …Lest I know something I shouldn’t know and then be shot in the back and commit suicide.

The secret that the named elf had to hide was even a research that his own chairman was involved in - that was definitely not something he, a mere short-lived researcher, deserved to pry into.

Russell was also very satisfied with his experiment.

In fact, this is not a distortion or awakening of his spiritual energy...

This is the new power Russell gained after successfully imitating the traits of his mentor Sally Ruth.

He used to think that he was not worthy of imitating this kind of thing - after all, he was just a mortal.

But now, he finally woke up.

——Fuck mortal.

It is a pretentious mentality that is purely self-deceptive... The moment you meet someone for the first time, you can directly skip the process of getting to know someone and directly imitate the core of your personality that you should not know at all. This is not an ability that can be justified by "being good at learning from others".

The moment he woke up, he directly stole Sally Ruth's essence through the spirit that was deeply linked to him. Got the talent to confuse people.

From now on, Russell can naturally tell people, "You think Mr. Ultramarine is extremely handsome, now make him a Sanchek."

The reason for using this ability freely in front of Sal and Sally Ruth was to tell them directly what he had stolen - since Sally Ruth did not stop herself or warn herself, she acquiesced to Russell's "fandom" Created”.

Moreover, this also shows that it does not have any taboos or harm. Otherwise, Sally Ruth would probably be able to say a few words, and Mr. Sal would also give himself a few warnings.

...However, when he peeked into Sally Ruth's mind, he seemed to see something.

In other words, he felt a presence similar to his own from the depths of Sally Ruth's soul.

That should be the source of her power, the special power that can "open all doors" obtained from the fate of the "opener"——

——That is the "devil" that exists in a perfect form.

In other words, the "Sally Ruth" Russell knew from the beginning was the devil inside her.

It is different from the technique of "communicating with demons" taught by Huachu.

The demons in their bodies are fundamentally one with themselves - not as two different independent entities like Russell and the God's Vessel.

She and the demon inside her have only one consciousness.

Sally Ruth's soul as a spirit, solidified like a gem, is like dripping and solidified resin.

And the demon inside her is the bug sealed in amber.

From the outside, you will feel beautiful because of the gem-like luster and crystal clearness of this resin. However, it is just a tool to trap mosquitoes.

The "beauty" in her body and the "light" in Sal's body are like the bugs in amber that have awakened.

And Tovatus, Amyrus and Camartha are "amber" with lower clarity, in which the bugs have not yet awakened.

Think about it again, when the "budding lover" awakens, he still can't break away from the "prototype"... To use an analogy, it's like jelly, although the body is crumbling, the devil is still embedded in it, making it unable to Drill out completely.

Combined with what he saw with his own eyes just now, Russell was finally able to confirm...

The "destiny" carried by the named elves is to carry the eighty-four most powerful demons that have awakened or have not yet awakened.

Their designers used elves as forts or bases to harness the power of these demons.

The solid souls of elves can bind demons, and their "destiny" may be some way to suppress, seal, or induce demonic power...

——So, who is the designer of these elves? Those dragons?

——Why are there so many more elves than the number of named elves? The number of elves today is even more than the "eighteen thousand possibilities" that spiritual energy may exist, that is, the more than eighteen thousand demons sleeping in the dream world, but those who can seal the demons with their souls The number of named elves has never increased...

The solution to a riddle brings more doubts.

He already had some answers in his mind, but without detailed evidence, he decided not to speculate on the unresolved ambiguities for the time being. To avoid preconceptions and wrong answers.

Anyway, after he saw the "Knotted Pistol" today, Russell already had a stronger premonition——

After this dilapidated car started going downhill, countless people kicked the accelerator.

The mechs who directly bombed civilian airships, Chairman Sal who personally intervened, Sally Ruth who came directly to the door without even waiting for a day, Amirus who specially invited him here...

...Also, Malt Liquor, who came from the "Ember" school that hopes to accelerate the destruction of the world, saved himself from a crashed airship.

The speed of events now must be faster than anyone expected.

How many people were involved?

How many people are still in control of this situation now?

Russell didn't know.

But he was certain that the moment when all the secrets would be revealed was getting closer and closer.

Ah, I didn’t expect you would be obsessed with the issue of dusk...

All the settings that will be used in this book will definitely be covered in this book. There are no easter eggs that you have to read the previous books to understand. It’s just because I haven’t used them yet so I haven’t started to talk about them yet. There is no need to understand them all immediately. Something. This is just a simple riddle man telling prophecies.

However, readers who have read previous books can get a lot of things in an instant just by seeing these two words, and instantly understand what the Riddler is talking about. This is why the amount of information between readers is different... You just It would be nice if this was just the Riddler appearing.

It’s rare that the amount of information from the reader’s perspective actually knows more than the Riddler himself (
