Chapter 331 The Fool’s Cage (Twenty-Five)
Was it just the sixth time?
According to the characteristics of hidden threads, the effect of psychological parasitism should not appear yet.
After Su Gao introduced the function of the dice, Fu Qian fell into deep thought.
The person in charge of the night shouldn't make a mistake in this regard, after all, it is one of his own people who wrote random instructions.
But Violetta, Margaret, Honey, Bella, and Soufflé, I did meet five people in the consciousness prison before.
They are trapped in that chaotic cage and may be lost in the fairy tale world at any time and never wake up. This seems to be in line with the effect of the hidden line of "dividing distortions and eliminating corruption".
Although their appearance does not look like the products of mental distortion.
It seems that Su Gao did not wait for the negative effects of psychological parasitism to appear, and his mind was cut into pieces by hidden threads.
Her obviously abnormal state illustrates this.
In this case, it is like the anti-virus software is too powerful and has destroyed the system files.
As for the reason for this, it is not yet certain, and I don’t know if it has something to do with Ms. Madeleine.
In addition, Su Gao himself seems not to have noticed this yet, or he has noticed it, but classified it as the result of distorted cognition.
Looking at Su Gao standing still like a doll, Fu Qian sighed in his heart.
"Mr. Fu, it's really nice to meet you."
"Even in hallucinations."
At this moment, Su Gao, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again, his voice becoming more and more ethereal.
"But I'm sorry, I still have unfinished duties before I'm completely lost."
"That criminal hurt many innocent people, adults...children...little boys...little girls..."
"So, I can't stay here for too long."
"But I'm really happy. When I fell into hallucination, it was your voice that I heard... Thank you!"
While speaking, Su Gao had already raised the dice in his hand again.
...As expected, this person still thinks that he is in a hallucination!
Fu Qian wasn't too surprised about Su Gao's reaction.
Judging from previous contacts, this girl has a firm and stubborn personality, and it is difficult to change things she believes in.
But now, in order to catch the target, she had obviously locked down the only reliable thing, the hidden thread, and didn't believe in anything else.
Logically speaking, it is simple, just let her vote again. After seeing the result, she will naturally know that this is not an illusion.
But that means that another piece of her mind will probably be cut off and thrown into that cage.
The way she looks now, she might even forget her last name by then.
And when the mind is completely broken, the puppetization process is estimated to be 100% complete.
"Don't rush yet."
Thinking of this, Fu Qian took two steps directly and reached out to stop her.
"Um?"
"It's really not easy to distinguish reality from fiction."
Faced with Su Gao's determined murderous intent, Fu Qian said unhurriedly.
"But it's a bit pretentious."
"……What's the meaning?"
"Do you know what professionalism is?"
Facing Su Gao's question, Fu Qian snorted coldly, showing off his coolness.
"There is no need to distinguish between reality and illusion. A real action consultant, even if it is just an illusion, can still provide professional guidance!"
…
Fu Qian's overbearing logic obviously caused some short-circuit in Su Gao's thinking.
However, the effect was still obvious, and her hand holding the dice stopped.
"Teachable kid, tell me the situation in detail now, don't miss any details."
Seeing this gratifying change, Fu Qian smiled and nodded.
…
"I understand, it's just empty talk, you have to do some unique skills first."
Seeing that Su Gao still didn't speak, Fu Qian pointed to the palm of her hand.
"Okay, let me ask you a question, what is the number you locked?"
"...I'm sorry about that, I can't-"
"Can't tell anyone, right? That's okay, because I can tell you."
Fu Qian stretched out his hand to signal her not to say anything more, while he recalled the operation of Soufflé when he opened the door.
"6, right?"
…
Although Su Gao remained silent, Fu Qian still felt the uncontrollable horror in her heart.
It's indeed the same number!
"So, what did I just say? Don't be nervous and relax."
Fu Qian did not explain why he knew it, but pointed to the dice in Su Gao's hand.
"Put this away first and answer me a few questions."
"Um."
After a brief hesitation, Su Gao seemed to be finally convinced, and this "yes" revealed an unspeakable relief.
"very good!"
Fu Qian did not hesitate to praise him and pointed to the steps to the side.
"Isn't your mission not completed yet? Let's talk as we go!"
"...Okay, up or down?"
Su Gao looked at the upside-down world outside.
"Let's go up, the view is better from above."
Fu Qian followed her gaze and looked at the endless water curtain above his head.
"Um."
Su Gao didn't express any objection, carefully put away the knife and followed Fu Qian.
"First tell me, where is this place?"
Fu Qian asked casually while walking.
"This is a forbidden area, the danger level is medium."
Su Gao next to him spoke briskly.
She seemed to have decided that Fu Qian was just a figment of her imagination, and she didn't wonder why he didn't know where this place was at all.
"Judging from the information currently available, there is almost no valuable material produced here, so very few people get involved."
"I tracked the target all the way, and it was my first time here. I didn't expect that when I was actually there, I found it was much weirder than in the information."
"The most direct change is that everyone who enters it has received varying degrees of strengthening."
"The target this time is good at transformation and mental manipulation. I could handle it quite easily when I was outside. Unexpectedly, after entering here, his threat suddenly increased dramatically, so I had to resort to hidden threads to stay sane."
What you do is not called maintaining your sanity, what you call is mental retardation.
Fu Qian sighed and frowned.
"You want to say that there is some kind of special power here that can increase people's abilities?"
"That's what it looks like so far."
Su Dingdian nodded.
"Then is there any content about this in the information you have read before?"
"That's not true, but the target has indeed become stronger, including my strength, which has also increased a lot, so I think-"
“You can’t take anything for granted.”
He waved his fingers before paying, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
Everyone?
I'm one of them all, why don't I feel any reinforcement.
This place is obviously weird!
Judging from the previous encounters, the target Su Gao was tracking seemed to be extremely familiar with this place and used his information advantage to set a trap.
And if Su Gao really mutilated herself five times, then the so-called stronger mental manipulation also means that it was completely her misunderstanding.
If you think about it from this perspective, this place may have increased only for her.
So the question is, why?
