Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3771 Cartoon Doll

Gabriel did not write for a long time, and Laplace did not urge him. It was not until five minutes later that Gabriel picked up the pen and wrote on the paper:
"Why? Just because I am a special gifted person?"

Laplace nodded: "What else?"

This one reason is enough.

Gabriel: "Aren't you afraid that I still retain my chaotic, evil-mouthed, sadistic nature?"

Laplace: "I don't care what your nature is. But if your nature hinders the development of the dream mirror, that's another matter."

Gabriel was silent for a moment, then wrote on the paper: "I... need to think about it."

Laplace nodded, indicating that it was okay.

Angell said at this time: "While you are thinking about it, do you mind chatting for a while?"

Gabriel wrote: "What do you guys want to talk about?"

Angel: "Don't worry, it's just some ordinary little things. Before you join the Dream Mirror, we can't ask you too private things, right?"

In other words, as long as you agree to join the Dream Mirror, it will be a different matter.

After all, it’s not too much to do an onboarding survey, right?
Ingres was obviously laying the groundwork for subsequent questioning.

Gabriel seemed a little hesitant and did not write anything.

Angel smiled and said, "It's just chatting, it won't be too much. If you don't want to answer, you can choose not to answer. And if you have anything you want to ask us, you can ask it at will."

"After all, recruitment is a two-way street. We examine you, and you also have to examine us, right?"

When Gabriel heard this, he looked up at Ingres and inexplicably seemed to see the figure of Raguel in Ingres.

It had the same gentle expression when Laguel had tricked it into signing the contract.

At that time, Gabriel did not understand human nature and was fooled by Raguel into signing the contract. But in the twenty years of getting along with Raguel, he also grew up and understood human nature. Naturally, he could see the hidden meaning in Angel's words.

However, Gabriel did not point it out, but followed Angel's words and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Angel smiled more gently: "You know, when I heard about your situation from Ivda before, what I was most curious about was why Chaos Mouth would have wisdom?"

"However, now that I have seen you in person, I am more curious about... why you can't speak?"

Angel: "Although I have not been in the Daylight Mirror Realm for a long time, I have heard of the name of Chaos Mouth. It is said that this is a mirror ghost that can control sound. A creature that can control sound but cannot speak, this is what I can't understand."

Or……

Gabriel can speak, but it doesn't want to speak?
Angel did not say this thought aloud, but just looked at Gabriel, waiting for his answer.

Gabriel manipulated his tentacles and wrote on the paper: "I can speak, but... for some reason, I don't want to speak."

Angel: "Is this reason unexplainable?"

This time, Gabriel was silent for a long time before he slowly wrote, "It's a personal reason, I don't really want to talk about it. But you can understand that I have a bad mouth."

"Every time I open my mouth, it may bring bad luck. For my own sake and for the sake of others, I have become accustomed to keeping silent."

Gabriel did not put down his pen when he wrote this, because he had guessed that Ingres would definitely delve into the topic of "crow's mouth".

It knows human curiosity very well. Raguel was like this. He liked to explore unknown things and finally paid the price with his life for it.

Gabriel was ready to engage in a "extreme tug of war" with Angel, but to his surprise, Angel did not ask about the "crow's mouth" issue, but changed the subject and asked:

"So, if you don't speak, will it have the effect of a crow's mouth?"

Gabriel: “???”

Angel: "I mean, if there is something that can speak for you, will it also bring misfortune?"

Seeing that Gabriel still didn't seem to understand, Angel simply gave a demonstration.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and in an instant, a palm-sized mini cartoon doll appeared in front of everyone.

This cartoon doll is dressed exactly like Ingres, but its facial features have been changed. Its eyes have become small black beans, and its mouth is also a red piece of wool.

Under the gaze of Gabriel and Laplace, the cartoon doll suddenly spoke.

"like this."

"like this."

Two voices came out at the same time, one was the cartoon puppet speaking, and the other was Angel speaking.

"What is this...?" Gabriel typed a question mark on the paper.

Angel controlled the puppet and said, "This cartoon puppet is a kind of illusion. You can think of it as a prop that can speak for you. The method of controlling it is also very simple. You can use it as long as you touch it."

"If you can manipulate mental power now, or have other means of spreading energy, you can also use energy to touch it."

Angel said this and handed the cartoon doll to Gabriel: "Do you want to try it? Although there is no problem in communicating with text, in terms of efficiency, direct conversation is definitely more efficient."

In fact, Angel could also try to use the mind strap, but the mind strap requires controlling the "noise of consciousness", and Angel doesn't know whether Gabriel can control it.

When meeting someone for the first time, it is better to be peaceful.

Gabriel hesitated for two seconds, but finally manipulated the tentacles and took the cartoon doll.

The moment he touched the puppet, Gabriel somehow understood how to use the puppet, because this illusion puppet was filled with sound.

And it is the simplest sound frequency. With Gabriel's ability, he can make it sound by just slightly turning it.

However, in addition to the audio, there are some special nodes in the illusion doll. Although Gabriel doesn't understand, he guesses that these nodes should have the ability to integrate audio and simulate tones.

After all, when Angel was controlling the puppet to speak just now, the tone of voice was exactly the same as his own.

Obviously, the puppet has the effect of simulating voice intonation.

The illusion doll can also be connected to the mind and micro-manipulated through mental consciousness. Gabriel also discovered this.

After confirming that the cartoon doll had so many functions, Gabriel was also surprised. Angor just created this doll casually, but how could it be so sophisticated?

The most important thing is that this is just an illusion!

This young man named Angel... is not simple.

As expected of members of the Dream Mirror Organization, each of them possesses extraordinary skills.

After making sure that the illusion doll did not have any traps, Gabriel tried to control it to speak using his mind.

As the mind consciousness connected, the appearance of the illusion doll began to change, from the image of Angel to a blue-black cartoon sea urchin.

It was exactly the appearance of Gabriel!

The cartoon sea urchin opened its mouth, which took up most of its body, and emitted a silent wave.

This is Gabriel's perception of feedback from the outside world.

After confirming that there was no negative energy in the frequency spectrum, it breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hello."

Gabriel put down his pen and spoke for the first time using the illusion doll.

Its voice was unexpectedly...childish.

It's impossible to tell whether the speaker is a male or female. It sounds a bit like an elementary school student speaking before his voice changes, with a crisp to shrill ending.

Angel: "You sound very young."

Gabriel: "Thank you. Although this is not my real voice, I like this voice and I will give it 95 points."

Angel: “……?”

Angel asked curiously, "Is the full score 100? Where is the deduction of five points?"

Gabriel: "Five points deducted because when you use this voice, it's easy for people to say you're young."

Angel: "..."

After a moment of silence, Angel said, "Why do I feel that you are a little different when you communicate with words than you are now?"

Both his personality and the sense of propriety when answering questions seemed to have changed.

Gabriel said as a matter of course: "When communicating with words, you need to think and have time to think; but when I speak, I don't need to think at all. Just like those who write novels, their articles are full of morality, but in reality, they are full of immorality. This is because they think when they write, but when they speak, they blurt out based on their nature."

Angel: "..." Handing the illusion doll to Gabriel seems to be a wrong choice...

Because he didn't have to write anymore, Gabriel seemed to be free from his shackles, and he spoke more. "By the way, you seemed to have asked a question just now, asking why Chaos Mouth has wisdom?"

"If I were to give you a grade for this question, I would give you a failing grade. Because almost everyone who sees me asks the same question, and I'm tired of hearing it."

"However, since this is our first meeting, I'll still explain a little bit."

"Why am I wise? The answer is, I don't know."

Angel: "... You've laid so much groundwork, just to say you don't know? In fact, you could have said it from the beginning."

Gabriel: "I am not laying the groundwork. I am just expressing my dissatisfaction with this issue."

Listening to Gabriel's serious explanation, Angel felt even more regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have given the doll to it...

On the other side, Laplace also fell into deep thought. Inviting Gabriel to join the Dream Mirror just now didn't seem to be a careful decision. Perhaps, some of his words should be withdrawn?
Although they all had their own thoughts about Gabriel's changes, they had to say that through Gabriel's conversation, they once again confirmed that Gabriel's rationality was very deep.

Compared to the previous mirror-holding banshee smelted in the embryo factory, Gabriel is a completely advanced version.

Reason completely prevailed.

This is also good, at least it makes communication more convenient.

Gabriel: "Wisdom can be cultivated, in addition to being innate. Of course, I don't know whether other chaotic evil mouths can cultivate wisdom, but my intelligence, in addition to being innate, can also be cultivated."

"I've already said that I don't know much about the innate factors. But I can reveal something about the acquired factors. I had a very good teacher who taught me how to do this."

Angel: "The teacher who taught you?"

Gabriel nodded: "His name is Raguel, he is my contractor, and he is also from..."

Gabriel stopped talking suddenly.

In Angel's puzzled eyes, Gabriel said: "I remember you said before that small talk is a give and take, you can ask me, and I can ask you. But now, I have been answering all the time, which doesn't seem fair."

Angel nodded: "Of course, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. However, if your questions are too personal, then I can only remain silent."

Gabriel: "The question I want to ask is about people with special talents. Why do you, or the Dream Mirror Organization, care about people with special talents? You said before that people with special talents are very important to you. How is this 'importance' reflected?"

Gabriel asked this question not only because he wanted to know the answer, but also because he wanted to use the answer to analyze to what extent the Dream Mirror Organization could do for "people with special talents".

After all, it has a lot of troubles right now... If it wants to join the Dream Mirror Organization, it must at least be aware of its own role.

Ingres did not choose to answer this question, but asked Laplace to explain it.

Laplace thought for a moment and said, "Before I answer your question, I would like to ask you, do you know what your special talent is?"

Gabriel nodded: "I know."

Laplace asked again: "Then do you know where your special talent comes from?"

This time, Gabriel shook his head: "I'm not sure about this. Is it innate?"

Laplace: "No, special talents are not necessarily innate. At least so far, all the individuals with special talents that I know of have acquired them later in life."

Gabriel was confused. Was the special talent acquired later in life? But it seemed that it had no memory of this?
"However, neither acquired nor innate is important. You just need to know." Laplace: "It is the will of the world that bestowed this special talent."

"World will?!" Gabriel's tone was clearly filled with astonishment.

Laplace nodded. "Yes, it is the will of the world. Don't you want to ask why we value people with special talents? There are many reasons, but the most important reason is this."

The special talent comes from the gift of the world's will and the status is extremely high!

"The members that the Dream Mirror Organization wants to recruit are definitely not mediocre. And those with special talents, although not all of them are elites, at least they will not become mediocre."

Laplace spoke sincerely, but in fact, these words were just made up by her.

The real reason is still the same.

People with special talents possess very powerful abilities. If these abilities are not controlled, they will definitely cause great harm.

For example, if the owner of the ability to read minds is not a dog butler, then wouldn’t the thoughts of all of them be exposed?

If this ability cannot be controlled, the best way is to exile it.

Gabriel didn't know what Laplace was thinking, but just what Laplace said was enough to shock him.
