The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 380: Afterimage

Mr. Kai's jet black hair is spread down to his waist.

That is an unusual hair color that is pitch black and dull.

It is not a black color that ordinary people can have, with a slight reflection, and it is even reminiscent of a lightless night.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Salvatore."

Mr. Kai's voice was unusually gentle: "If I were hostile to you, I wouldn't have brought you here."

"...Did you bring me here?"

Salvatore suddenly said: "No wonder..."

Although his intuition is relatively accurate.

But no matter how lucky you are, you will not walk directly into the target's face for no reason without any information.

"Is it [Intuition Rewriting]?"

Salvatore recognized the spell immediately.

This is a silver-level spell from the Prophet School—a relatively rare hindrance spell among the Prophet School. But it is not a pure hindrance spell...its effect is to make the target's intuition "just like the caster thinks."

For example, suddenly make the opponent "intuitively feel that the person in front of him is an enemy", or "intuitively feel that this person is easy to get along with", "intuitively feel that this attack should not be avoided", etc.

Because it does not require contact to take effect, and it does not have any special effects when it takes effect. Although the effect is not mandatory, it just makes the recipient "instinctively think so", but if it is guided according to the trend, it may have a particularly good effect.

"Yes," Mr. Kai nodded slightly, "I used this spell to bring you in.

"In this way, the people around you will not be alarmed."

"...You really have bad intentions, right?"

Salvatore narrowed his eyes, put his hand in his arms, and held the mixture he made tightly: "The profession of Name Shaper has already rivaled the Prophet School... Then how did you use this spell? ?"

Although Salvatore himself knows that this is just a bluff - because after he changed his profession to an alchemist, his combat effectiveness can be said to have decreased instead of increased.

Even if you use a mixture, you may not be able to defeat this gold-level wizard.

Mr. Kai looked at him funny: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Salvatore.

"If I am really hostile to you..."

As he spoke, he casually took off a mask from the side and put it on top of his own mask.

Just like fish scales being peeled off piece by piece, pieces the size of a child's fist peeled off and turned over on his body - in the blink of an eye, Mr. Kai turned into Salvatore's appearance.

"Salvatore on the other side" was suddenly startled, and looked over in astonishment with his eyes wide open.

And Salvatore was also shocked.

Like a cat with exploded fur, he looked at Mr. Kai in horror.

At that moment, even Salvatore himself thought he was looking in the mirror.

"...Then it will be impossible for you to get out of here."

Mr. Kai said leisurely: "Of course, there may be a 'Salvatore' walking out of here, but that won't be you."

"...Tsk."

Salvatore smacked his lips.

Although it is a threat.

But when it came to this, Salvatore could understand that the other party did not have any malicious intentions.

Although it may be strange to say this... but after a person who can easily hammer himself to death shows "a method that can easily destroy corpses and eliminate traces", you can actually believe that the opponent does not have any malicious intentions.

"I also understand what you are thinking...you think of me as someone's 'other self', right."

Mr. Kai's tone was soft and gentle, and he explained softly like a very patient teacher: "Let's put it this way, Mr. Salvatore. If you see these blank masks, what will you think of first? ”

"...mask?"

Salvatore repeated.

He looked at the blood-red smiling face, frowned slightly and looked at the blank masks hanging in the crimson curtain around him: "If you want to say... it's probably 'weird'."

"Then why do you think so?"

Not waiting for Salvatore to reply, Mr. Kai replied softly: "Is it because of my mask? It's like a clown...right?"

This is exactly what Salvatore had in mind.

It's just that he felt it was a bit impolite, so he didn't say anything.

"This is normal. This is also a kind of preconception, and I prefer to call it an 'after-image'."

Mr. Kai led Salvatore deeper into the room.

On the way, he said casually: "Just like after looking at the sun, if you look at a blank place again, there will be an afterimage of the sun in your eyes.

“When you care about someone particularly, when you see a stranger, that person’s shadow will be in your mind. Just like when people look at a blank mask, different images will be reflected in their mind. screen.

"Maybe it's a hero's mask, or it's an antique made of bronze, it might be a funny mask, or it might be a mask painted as an animal. A blank mask is like a 'blank name', full of possibility.

"And this is also a primitive law of similarity - although it is not that similar, it is older than the modern law of similarity. When ancient priests held public ceremonies, they would apply eye shadow, or Wearing a stone mask is to make yourself more similar to the gods, thereby enhancing the effect of the ritual.

"Even if people have never seen gods, when they think of gods, they will automatically think of priests."

Speaking of this, Mr. Kai said meaningfully: "And when you see Professor Wolf and Fu Fu, you will think of me... This is also very reasonable. Just like after you lose something , you will instinctively doubt the same as the first person you see——

"It's not because you think he is the most likely to take action, but because the moment you see his appearance, the vague 'suspect' you imagined in your mind is confirmed."

"...I haven't said what I saw yet."

Salvatore just felt that the doubts in his heart were getting deeper.

He frowned: "How do you know what I saw?"

"Because what I see is not the past, but the future."

Mr. Kai replied: "As you said... the Name Shaper needs to oppose the Prophet School, which means that the Name Shaper cannot use the Prophet spell. ~IndoMTL.com~ But this is not absolute - just like Elf wind dancers cannot learn spells, but when they use spell energy, they can also achieve the same effect as casting spells..."

As he spoke, he led Salvatore into the basement.

Although Salvatore was a little uneasy, he still followed behind.

Looking back at Salvatore, Mr. Kai couldn't help laughing: "You really dare to follow me."

"...because after I calmed down, I carefully examined my thoughts and found that you did not have any malicious intentions."

Salvatore pursed his lips: "I'm sorry before... You are right, it is indeed just a 'remnant image'. I was not sure whether you were another identity of Professor Wolf, but you are After seeing you, I decided to 'confirm' myself."

"I'm really pleased that you responded so quickly."

In an empty place, Mr. Kai said warmly: "However, you did guess one thing right..."

Under the dim candlelight, Mr. Kai opened his mask and placed it on the table aside.

Salvatore saw it very clearly.

——There is nothing there.
