Chapter 1020 Puppet Mask and Nuo Witch
Aiwass stepped forward and picked up the red puppet face on the ground.
This is a smiling face mask made of carnelian, with a flesh-like red color - this is the mask that Xi Tiansi wore before. When it is not worn on the face, the eyes and mouth are still transparent holes, but as long as it is worn on the face, it will be filled with black, making it difficult to see the facial features hidden under the mask.
"...Really?"
Aiwass held the mask and murmured in a low voice.
He could clearly sense the power of the path from it, but there was no prompt in his system.
This is normal.
Ever since Aiwass completely distorted the established future and made the world officially enter the "IF line", there have been more and more things that the system cannot recognize.
In the original world line, Xi Tiansi was not pulled down until the end, and succeeded in eating chicken in the end - after the transcendence tide ended, Xi Tiansi became the only remaining Tiansi on the path of beauty. He almost did not participate in any plot throughout the whole process, and even cleverly avoided all scenes... Because of this, Aiwass was very unfamiliar with his abilities and personality.
Aiwas actually didn't know what Xi Tiansi's purpose was. If he, like Ying Tiansi, came here to get close to him because he didn't want to be dragged down by the Ring of Ending Ceremony, it didn't feel like it... He could only feel that, at least for now, Xi Tiansi didn't have any ill intentions towards him. .
"What does this thing do?"
Sherlock came over and asked Aiwass casually.
Aiwass raised his eyebrows in surprise, handed the puppet in his hand to Sherlock, and asked, "Why do I know?"
"After all, you seem to know everything."
Sherlock carefully explored the texture of the puppet's face, and his pupils were dancing with azure light.
He responded slowly: "Didn't someone openly discuss the replacement of the Pillar God when he was still at the first level?"
"I don't know everything, I only know what I know."
Aiwass said seriously.
What he said was really not a joke - it was really the case. Yassen may not understand this, but Sherlock, who is familiar with Aiwass, must understand what Aiwass wants to express.
Sherlock ignored Aiwass, and just concentrated on penetrating the extraordinary power of the path of wisdom into this mask.
"...Oh," Aiwass was a little surprised, "Have you learned the identification technique?"
This is the "identification" ability that only high-ranking extraordinary people on the path of wisdom can acquire - by communicating with the source, they can skip experiments and proofs and directly obtain the fragments of truth.
The mages of the Mage Tower are able to develop advanced products far beyond those of top alchemists, relying on this almost cheating "Truth Prayer Technique", which allows them to conduct a certain degree of tracing and tracing as long as they obtain fragments of ancient technology. reduction. The dream-monk's brain library also has similar abilities, both of which are mysterious skills directly related to "truth".
"It's okay to learn, it's not difficult."
Sherlock said casually: "This can be regarded as the reward paid to me in advance by the Duke, and it is also the reason why he must get the help of an extraordinary person with wisdom. Unexpectedly, after learning it, it was used for the first time outside of work, and it was to help You identify things..."
"You're not helping me."
Aiwass drew a clear line in a serious manner: "I told you, even if I give something, it will be given to you."
"hehe."
Sherlock sneered: "That's true, Mr. Fox. You said it as if we have the ability to use it... It has been roughly identified."
With that said, Sherlock put down his hand, and the azure glow in his pupils dimly dissipated.
He handed the red mask to Yassen and said simply and clearly: "Put it on."
Yassen didn't ask why or what to do.
He trusted Sherlock very much, so he put the mask on his face directly.
——The next moment, red smoke came out of the gap in the mask. Yasen was startled and wanted to pull off the mask, but it stabbed out tentacles like chalcedony and fixed itself on Yasen's face.
Then, Yasen's raised hands suddenly stopped.
"Huh huh huh..."
Yasen suddenly let out an uncontrollable chuckle.
He flipped his raised hands in the air, then drew his right hand in an exaggerated arc in front of him and placed it on the left side of his chest and abdomen.
He took half a step back with his left leg and bowed elegantly to Aiwass and Sherlock. However, he uttered the loud and joyful voice of Xi Tiansi: "It's really joyful and surprising. I didn't expect us." We meet again so soon!”
"...So that's what it's for."
Avas suddenly understood.
No wonder Xi Tiansi left so quickly and suddenly... He didn't even explain what the reward he left behind was. It turned out to be because He knew that as long as Aiwass and the others started studying this mask, He would come back again!
He had seen - even used Isabel's puppet.
I just didn't expect that the mask Xi Tiansi left behind was actually his own puppet...
Let a heavenly minister descend on your body - this is a genuine divine descending technique!
"Isn't this equivalent to a tradable high-level magic?"
Aiwass asked Xi Tiansi, who was possessing Yasen.
"This is different," Xi Tiansi replied with a smile, "I can't condense the crystals of the path. In other words, only extraordinary people of the path of beauty can wear this mask. And the magic power I can use , it’s just the magic power that comes with this body.”
Hearing this, Aiwass shook his head slightly.
That being said...
But even with just one unit of mana, what Tiansi can do is definitely far better than a mortal. The difference between Tiansi and mortals is by no means just the difference in mana.
And depending on what Sherlock meant...this mask seems to have no usage count?
Sherlock seemed to have guessed what Aiwass was thinking, and said directly: "This mask can be used once every two sunrises and sunsets. To put it less strictly, it can be used once every two days. As for the duration... …”
When he said this, he looked at Xi Tiansi.
After all, the fragments of truth obtained through appraisal are not as complete and comprehensive as the attributes given by the system. It would be better to just ask Xi Tiansi himself who made this mask.
"Ha! There's no such thing."
Xi Tiansi let out a hearty laugh: "Or you can say... when I feel bored, or when the Nuo witch clearly refuses me to continue to control this body, this performance will end. Unless Dai The witch wearing the mask completely annoyed me and asked me to crush the mask... otherwise it can be used like this forever. Even if the holder dies, the mask can continue to be passed down. "
"...Nuo witch?"
Aiwass raised his eyes in surprise.
He vaguely remembered similar statements. That was the small amount of knowledge that remained in his fractured memory... He only remembered that it seemed to be a kind of traditional culture, related to rituals.
"This is actually... the original use of this technique."
Xi Tiansi chuckled: "Invite dead ghosts, invite unavailable people, invite invisible gods... let actors who would never appear on the same 'stage' perform, dance, and sing on the same stage. ——
“If you take off the mask, you are a human being; if you put on the mask... you are a god.
"Take me out for a walk. This dream world is getting more and more boring. It would be better to say that the material world is about to become lively..."
After he said that, the overwhelming mysterious atmosphere around "Ya Sen" suddenly dissipated.
Yassen paused, and when he spoke again, his voice changed again: "What do you hear my voice sound like now?"
Before he finished speaking, he could already hear his own voice.
So Yasen directly took off the mask on his face.
After Xi Tiansi left, the mask lost its suction power.
At this time, its color was darker.
Although it still looks like flesh and blood, it just now looks like raw meat that has been left in the air for a while, and has become a little purple and dull - it is no longer as fresh and bright as before.
