Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2316 The Truth
"The witch's confession has been activated."

Looking at the mask, everyone felt it for a while, except for the ubiquitous mysterious aura that shrouded their bodies, there was no other feeling.

At least, they don't currently feel the urge to tell the truth.

Palishanya and Maoye Groot also looked around suspiciously, not knowing what was going on.

Rhine smiled lightly: "Perhaps you still have doubts, so let me give you an example."

After Rhine finished speaking, his eyes wandered over everyone, and finally he fixed on Angel.

Angor felt a little chilled by Rhine's gaze, and was about to say something to relieve his discomfort. At this moment, Rhine suddenly said, "Angel, what's your favorite food?"

As soon as the question was finished, the standing priest in the statue shimmered slightly.Not long after the twilight, the witch who was kneeling on the ground also had a sly look in her eyes.

At the same time, under the attention of everyone, Angel said: "Milk, yes, my favorite food is milk. ——I really want to calmly spit out this food addiction buried in my heart that I don't want to reveal , but my curled toes hidden in the socks all show the embarrassment and anxiety in my heart."

After finishing speaking, before Angel could recall it, everyone silently said, "..."

A few seconds later, Angel's throat moved, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but he said, "Ah??? That's all for the front, what the hell is this long paragraph behind?"

After the questioning, fluctuations flashed again on the priest and the witch.

Then Angor said again: "There's nothing wrong with it. ——Actually, what I said 'that's all in the front' is not true, but I just want to divert everyone's attention, so I put the focus of my words on it." I added the last sentence, so that everyone will not pay attention to my food addiction is milk. I am such a clever little ghost, and everyone will definitely not find out if I speak so secretly, hehehe."

Everyone: "..." This speech technique is really secretive, hehehe.

Angor is also hehehe...hehe!He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his upright and proud figure was a little unsteady, and he took several steps back.

"That was just now..." Angel wanted to say something, but remembering that the valve on his mouth couldn't be closed before, he still closed his mouth, turned his embarrassment into anger, and looked at the statue viciously.

At this time, the statue is a little different from before.

The priest became more holy and solemn, while the kneeling witch became less pious and more cunning.

Angor looked in Rhine's direction and asked with his eyes: "Why is this? Why did I say what I thought in my heart."

Rhine wanted to say something, but seeing Angor holding his breath and not daring to make a sound, and pretending to be angry and questioning, and thinking about Angor's previous psychological activities full of disobedience, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. out.

Seeing Rhine's performance, Angel silently shifted his gaze to Sanders.

Sanders didn't smile, but just glanced at Angor lightly, then turned to the other side, shrugging his shoulders a few times where Angor couldn't see.

At that time, Dangros climbed onto Angor's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and whispered in a comforting tone: "Although I don't know what milk is, I won't laugh at Mr. Pat."

Angor's voice squeezed through his teeth: "It's the best comfort for me that you don't speak."

After speaking, Angel bowed his head full of shame, and he no longer wanted to see other people's reactions. Anyway, Rhine would explain why this happened.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little joyful because of Angel's experience, but then there was some embarrassment in confusion.

After laughing, Rhine finally regained her normal voice, and coughed twice: "You have seen the effect, this 'Witch's Confession' can make people tell the truth. But it has a little side effect, That is, the psychological activities will also be spoken out.”

Angel complained silently in his heart: This is no longer a side effect, it's more sad than telling the truth!

Although Angel was very ashamed and angry about this, he calmed down and tasted it carefully, but he also understood that this so-called "side effect" was the real essence of this mysterious thing.

Because the truth is never absolute.

Just like a contract on the bright side, there will be various loopholes to exploit. This is why there are many precedents for contracts that have lasted for thousands of years and have been changed countless versions.

The same is true of the truth, which seems to be telling the truth, but there are loopholes.

For example, when someone asks you, you tell half the truth, but keep the other half of the more important truth hidden in your heart, and then use other truths to guide other people's thinking, which will make the other person make up a paragraph by themselves. A self-righteous plot, but this plot is often fake.

Brain supplements are made up by yourself, and what the other party said is also true, but the final result is not satisfactory.

Therefore, the truth can also have various loopholes to exploit.

And the witch's confession, a mysterious thing, not only allows you to tell the truth, but also reveals the words, psychological activities, and hidden thoughts in your heart.

This is not a "side effect", but the utmost assurance that the truth is true.

It's just that people who think too much, it's better not to use it, it's easy to lose the frame.For example, Angel.

After knowing the specific function of the mysterious thing, it can be regarded as explaining Angel's previous doubts, why Rhine emphasized that the effect of this mysterious thing is "the truth with almost no loopholes to exploit", and it is indeed the case.

Before, Angel was a little bit contemptuous, thinking that the existence of "Power Words", the effect of this mysterious thing would be a bit tasteless.

But now it seems that it does have the value of existence, and its effect is much higher than that of power words.After all, Power Words also apply to all sorts of leaky so-called "truths."

After listening to Rhine's narration, Palishanya couldn't help feeling: "It's so many~ It's amazing. Is this a mysterious thing?"

As soon as Palishanya's voice fell, the statue moved again.

Immediately afterwards, Palisanya opened his mouth unconsciously: "Yes, this is a mysterious thing. —By the way, in front of these powerful human wizards, should I show my mouth fetish? Or show it?" Let’s take a look, after all, you can create a unique image through oral addiction, which is what Mr. Feng said in the book "The Clown's Monologue"."

As soon as Palishanya finished speaking, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "I just..."

Originally, Palishanya wanted to say: What the hell did I just say? !

But thinking that the witch's confession was still being activated, it stopped quickly, for fear that it would reveal its inner thoughts again.

However, Palishanya thought that the loss could be stopped in time, but he did not expect that there were other accidents on the scene.

I saw Dangros, who was clinging to Angor's cloak, slowly stretched out half of his palm, and looked at Palisanya curiously: "So your 'heaping' laughter is just a kind of oral addiction? You yourself Isn't that how you smile?"

After the questioning, the priest bowed his head in silence, and the witch smiled slyly.

Palisanya: "Of course it's a mouth fetish. How can a real laugh make such a strange sound? Only a strange mouth fetish can attract people's attention!"

Palisanya covered his mouth with a branch with a sad face, stared at Dan Gross fiercely with eyes covered with wooden lines, and signaled it with his eyes: Don't ask, don't ask again!

However, Dan Gross obviously did not receive his signal, and he still asked himself: "I see, you want to attract people's attention?"

Palishanya: "Yes, especially to attract the attention of Lord Namitri! ——However, you already know my oral habit, should I modify it? Hiss, it should be a good match."

Everyone: "..." Naimicui's hissing sound is because of the sound of it spitting out letters, this is not a mouth addiction!
Dangros: "I think Lulululu is a bit..."

Before Dangros finished speaking, he saw a strange force field covering him. He wanted to speak at first, but he couldn't open his mouth because of this force field.

It was Rhine who released the force field, and he smiled slightly: "The effect of the silent force field is silence. I think if you continue to ask questions, it is likely to hurt your feelings, so it is better not to speak for the time being."

If it was before, everyone would definitely not take it seriously.But now that Rhine releases the silent force field, it is what everyone wants.

Even the leafy Groot, who seemed quite calm and intelligent, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.It was holding its breath just now, not daring to make a sound, for fear of exposing some hidden activities in its heart.Now that there is a silent force field, he is forced to silence, and he has slowed down.

The air was quiet, even the sound of the wind and the rustling of sand and dust were digested by the silent force field.In this wilderness, the only sounds that exist are Rhine's breathing and his speaking.

"I haven't finished talking just now. It's not too late for us to talk after I finish talking about the rules of 'The Witch's Confession'."

The crowd nodded.

Rhine smiled and continued: "The first rule, I have already said it before, the witch's confession will let you tell the truth, and at the same time, you will also tell the psychological activities when you speak, which can avoid the truth to the greatest extent. The loophole of speech. Even if you know this mechanism, it is difficult to circumvent."

When Rhine said this, he turned to look at Angel: "Angel, what's your favorite food?"

When the statue started to glow, the silent force field around Angel was instantly released.

Angel blurted out again: "Milk.—My heart is silent, dark... empty... nothing."

Angel looked confused: "..." Why did you use me as an example? !
Rhine turned to look at the crowd: "You see. After learning about the effect of this mysterious thing, Angel actively adjusted his mental activities, which seemed to avoid his own mental activities. But think about it carefully, such a Evasion will actually make people more suspicious and less trustworthy.”

Immediately afterwards, Rhine said: "The second rule is the trigger rule. Although I have been talking, I did not trigger the witch's confession. The reason is very simple. I believe you have guessed it."

"Yes, only a question can trigger the witch's confession."

Although Rhine was talking from the beginning to the end, he didn't say any questions.This is the fundamental reason why he didn't trigger the mysterious thing.

"Questions can also be divided into different situations. When asking a question, there is a person to whom the question is directed, so the person being asked should speak. Just like just now, I asked Angel, and Angel answered; Dangros asked Palisanya , Palisanya replied."

"When asking a question, if there is no one to ask the question, then this question is transformed into a self-question. Since it is a self-question, it must be a self-answer."

"Angel and Palisanya both triggered this mechanism, that is, the inquiry did not point to the target, so they turned to asking and answering themselves."

Everyone has experienced the rules of this question before, but it is easy to understand.

After understanding this rule, everyone silently said in their hearts: Once the witch's confession is activated, absolutely no question can be asked... Otherwise, the end of self-questioning and self-answering is self-injury.

Rhine: "The third rule is probably the one you are most concerned about."

"Why don't you answer the question?"

As soon as the question was finished, the statue emitted bursts of light.

But Rhine, who raised this question, smiled and said nothing.Obviously the mysterious thing has been activated, but he didn't say a word in a daze.

Amidst everyone's doubts, Rhine explained the secret of this rule: "When you are extremely resistant to this question in your heart, then you will not answer...Of course, you still cannot lie, but you will remain silent."

"At the same time, once the question involves extremely important private issues, the subconscious of the interviewee shows extreme resistance, and he can also resist."

"like this."

When Rhine said this, he obviously intended to give an example.I saw his gaze wandering over everyone, and finally stopped on Angel.

Angel's eyes widened, and he shook his head with a face of resistance: No!
Rhine seemed to have received Angor's resistance message, and turned his eyes slightly, looking at Angor's side: "Lober's tail, how do you evaluate your own leader and deputy leader?"

Everyone looked at Lober's tail, including the main head and deputy head.

However, it was obviously a sudden question without preparation, but Lober did not blurt out the answer like other people did before, but kept silent.

Obviously, Lober's subconscious mind is very resistant to this question.

Rhine: "See, this is the case, when your subjective consciousness resists the answer, or your subconscious resists the answer, then it will not take effect."

The reason why Angel and Palisanya asked and answered what they asked just now is that they didn't know this rule existed at the time, so they didn't have any subjective resistance.

And "Angel's favorite food—milk", although the question made Angel a little ashamed, it was not so private that even the subconscious mind resisted answering.Therefore, there is only one question and one accurate situation.

Rhine: "Okay, these are the three rules of the witch's confession."

……

The three major rules created the witch's confession.

The most worth mentioning is the third rule. Without this rule, the witch's confession would be infinitely stronger.

Because you can find out the deepest secrets hidden in other people's hearts by asking, even if it is private, you can get it all.This is a rather terrifying effect.

Unfortunately, with the restrictions of the rules, even if it is a surprise inquiry, as long as the subconscious resists the answer, it still cannot get the answer.

This caused the effect to directly drop by [-]%.

However, although the third rule limited the effect, it turned the witch's confession into the best mysterious thing for "sincerity", "mutual trust", and "contract".

When opening the Witch's Confession, you must either answer the truth or remain silent, and you will not take advantage of the loopholes in the truth. This allows the two parties to be honest and understand each other's bottom line.

All in all, the Witch's Confessions may not be a particularly powerful mystery, but it does have a specific use case.

At this time, it is definitely the most suitable mysterious thing to use in the tidal world to increase the basis of mutual trust between the two parties.

It can also be seen from this that Rhine came to the tidal world this time with great sincerity.
