Chapter 148: Patience

Patience is an excellent character. No matter when it is, patience people can often do better than ordinary people in many things.

If it is in the study of knowledge, Liqi considers herself to be a very patient person - whether it is for her own "personal interest" or the professional habits of a spell, studying spells is the most appropriate entertainment behavior for her.

She can observe the crucible for two or three days in order to cook a pot of complex potions; she can also repeat mechanical casting actions to study a simple spell phenomenon until she understands the reason; she can even observe a rare flower intently all day.

Of course, all this must be based on her interest in this matter - if something can attract her attention, she will naturally be willing to spend time on it. However, torture and torture are not included, and she does not have the patience to spend time on torture.

So when Curt walked into Liqi's studio, Liqi was the only one left in the dim space. The boy who was supposed to be asked about the question here was gone. She was leaning lazily on the chair, looking at the potted plants hanging on the ceiling boredly.

Crossing the ground full of various materials, Curt walked to Liqi. There was no smell of blood in the air that was not circulating in the basement. At least it was certain that Liqi did not torture confessions in this studio. His request made in advance did not seem to be taken by Liqi as a warning.

"It seems you didn't get any valuable information." But now Liqi's performance is obvious. She was unable to ask anything from the boy. That's why she sat in the chair and sulked. "But where did you throw that little devil? Don't tell me you took him to feed the man."

Although most of Liqi's promise to Curt sit down can be trusted, Curt still cannot be sure whether Liqi will use other methods to solve the teenager when she is ineffective. Although Curt said that he did not want Liqi to kill the teenager, he never said that he could not let the teenager disappear.

She snorted disdainfully: "I really suspect that those rare plants will die due to indigestion, which is not worth it at all."

However, in addition to those cannibal flowers she used as experimental products, Liqi also has at least a dozen different methods that can make the young man evaporate without realizing it. If she really had this plan, the young man would not leave any traces from now on.

It seemed that Curt's question aroused Liqi's displeasure. She suddenly stood up from the chair, and shouted at Curt like a complaint: "What's wrong recently? Why are there believers of the Holy Bishop everywhere? That nagging girl, the annoying security officer who succeeded Grosted, and even the enemy minions she caught casually - what's going on? I don't remember that this sect was so widely spread in the Dominion of Osatalia... Why are there all the unrelated people who are believers of that thing."

Liqi jumped in front of Curt like a tantrum, but the expression on her face was dozing off because of sleepiness. Disputes that hated a certain belief were already an outrageous topic between the two, but Curt didn't expect Liqi to mention this now.

"Everyone has the right to believe in his own god, whether it is a sinner or a slave." Curt laughed. He did not hate the believers of the Holy Lord like Liqi. "Besides, I remember that you were also one of the believers of 'that thing' before. It would be not good to mock your past faith."

"Hmph, so I've been out of place for them to get along all the way - those guys who are dead in their heads have lost their most basic rationality. And don't rush to teach me a lesson, Curt... Your situation is worse than mine, what's the right to say to me?"

The instant stiffness flashed across Liqi's face. The fact that Curt casually told her reminded her of past memories. Liqi seemed a little embarrassed. However, this embarrassment disappeared immediately. Liqi put her waist up and raised her chest, retorted at Curt with disdain.

"At least I don't care about these things anymore, right?"

Curt smiled. He obviously didn't want to get involved with Liqi on this issue: "Okay, this topic has come to an end. We both know each other's shortcomings, and it has no meaning at all - back to the topic, that little devil is a believer of the Holy Lord, and then?"

He didn't plan to continue to mention those old things with Liqi. There were too many things that the two of them could use to entangle each other in the past. Some things had happened and could not be changed. Perhaps when they thought about them the next day, they would become a regret that they would be too regretful, but it was really meaningless to always take them out and yell.

Liqi was unwilling to mention those things again. She curled her lips unhappily and said, "Yes, that little guy is a bastard with a dead head. No matter how I asked him, all he got was a crazy dogma made of stories from the pile of waste paper. But I didn't do anything about him, just kicked him out of here-if I didn't calculate the wrong calculation, he should have almost returned to his stronghold."

The news made Curt feel a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really interesting. I thought you would give him a confession to let him honestly say everything he knows. In my impression, this kind of medicine may not necessarily need to be drunk, right?"

Confession is a medicine that looks as colorless and odorless as ordinary water. Although the material is not easy to buy, it is not difficult to prepare. People who take this medicine will enter a special state of sedation. In this unconscious state, they will clearly answer questions.

"No, you don't understand, there is no reliability at all."

Even state organs, it is unconstitutional to ask suspects to use confessions to question them after taking confessions - no suspicion should be forced to become a witness that is unfavorable to oneself. Of course, mental spells and torture are also considered illegal.

However, Liqi is not considering this question: "Confessions can indeed make people subconsciously answer various questions in a calm and hypnotic state, but the trouble is that people's thoughts have three levels: subjective consciousness, subconsciousness, and unconsciousness. When the subjective consciousness is suppressed to the maximum extent, the subconscious will become the behavioral center of the dominant reaction, and many strange phenomena will appear, such as hallucinations or imagination."

After drinking the real spitting agent, you will honestly explain the truth the other party wants to know, "It only takes two or three drops to let you tell everything" - this idea actually comes from the fictional plot in popular novels, and the confession in reality is far less effective than such an exaggerated effect.

"The information provided in this state is not a complete picture of the facts, but may have subconscious exaggeration or partial omission, and the respondent is extremely susceptible to the inquirer's suggestion and influence. What I need to know is what he knows, not what I want him to know."

This potion is very similar to the effect of a mind spell that manipulates the human heart, but the user only needs to prepare a bottle of potion to achieve the goal without having to study such profound magic - if it is really so easy, those magicians will not have to study mind spells.

"So? Even if he doesn't want to tell you anything, there is no need to let him go back." Liqi rarely gives up what she has obtained and takes the initiative to put back an enemy person who may know some information. She often has some unlucky plans. "And based on the other party's behavioral habits, in order to avoid the person who is released back, most of these members who are regarded as "consumables" will be dealt with."

Compared with these subordinate members who can be supplemented at any time, "Eye of True Vision" must pay more attention to the safety of their own organization. Today, this attack on the guard team has been declared completely failed under the guard team's operation, and the subordinate members participating in this operation will definitely be abandoned like lizards' tails.

Curt was sure that in order to avoid the disclosure of information, these attackers would definitely not have any further information, and would be "handled" when necessary. Liqi chose to put him back, at most, to make the young man an abandoned son who was actively cleaned up.

From a personal emotional point of view, Curt is unwilling to use his own hands to push a person who could have been saved into a situation of dying, even if the other party and he are not on the same front.

"Do you still remember the story of "Woodell Prisoner"? That little guy seemed to have regarded himself as a martyr, but such thoughts should not appear in the heads of a 'normal person' of his age. Such deep-rooted thoughts could never have been thought of by himself."

Even those who do not believe in the Holy Lord are familiar with this story, but Curt did not respond. He looked at Liqi and waited for her to continue speaking.

Liqi's fingers shook gently, and the magic power in the air made a projection of illusions and appeared on the wall not far away: "Faith can be the pillar that supports a person, or it may be the execution rack that hangs this person's belief - the act of dismantling a person's belief will be carried out by those who give him this belief."

When she kicked the boy out, she had prepared the spells for peeping. The butterfly-like origami brought more spells this time, following the boy's steps away from afar. All the things that appeared around the "butterfly" were passed to the eyes of the two of them by the spell.
