Generally speaking, Xiaohong's interpretation of "taste" has a bit of a metaphysical flavor.
Even the dog steward who discovered Xiaohong's talent sometimes didn't understand what Xiaohong could smell and what information he could get.
The only thing that Dog Butler can determine is that Xiao Hong is most sensitive to the smell of "malice". As long as this malice is directed at Xiao Hong or someone related to her, she can smell it.
This is actually the reason why Xiaohong is not afraid of Angel and others, and even brings them to see Butler Dog without saying a word.
Because Angel, Laplace and others are all "good guys" here in Xiaohong.
"You can detect malice and smell other special information. The most important thing is that everything happens unconsciously..." If Xiaohong hadn't taken the initiative to say something strange, Luigi wouldn't even have noticed her specialness.
.These alone actually surprised Luigi.
Maybe it's not as powerful as you first imagined, but it's not far behind.
Especially in the Wanshiwu House, where the hollow people gather together, she can fully utilize her abilities.
After Angel learned about Xiaohong's ability, the first thing he thought of was the Star Attendant in the heart space. The Star Attendant is also a hollow person. Maybe he can ask Xiao Hong to help him and get some hidden information on him?
However, this thought only existed for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, I felt it was unnecessary.
Star Attendant's past is actually not important, what is important is his future.
If you really have to worry about Star Attendant's past, there is still a wish book anyway. The information hidden in it is enough for Star Attendant to interpret in the future.
While Angel was thinking about it, Xiaohong had already returned to the guest room.
She happily ran to the table, handed the deacon's token back to Deacon Dog, and then began to talk about the information she had found.
"Sipolov did come to the Wanshiwuwu. According to the information I found, he went to see the ghost deacon. However, I didn't find out why he met the ghost deacon specifically."
Butler Dog: "Go see the Ghost Butler, what can you do? It must be a commission. Sipolov has a special status, and his commission is probably the person behind it. But, is this commission about the Yingji tribe, or about a certain person? Then
It’s hard to say.”
"But it doesn't matter. Sipolov will come over in a while, and then you will know the reason for Sipolov's visit."
The words of the Dog Butler shocked everyone, and even Xiaohong looked confused: "Is Sipolov coming to the Dog House? But, I didn't receive this news."
Butler Dog: "You don't need to receive the message, Butler Ghost will let him come. Just go and watch outside. When he comes, lead him to the guest room."
Although Xiao Hong was still a little confused, since what the Dog Butler said, it seemed to be true. She nodded, followed the Dog Butler's instructions, and went outside the dog house to wait for Sipolov's arrival.
After Xiao Hong left, Luigi murmured: "Is she the only one of your direct investigators? Do you want her to handle everything as a child?"
Butler Dog turned his head away in embarrassment: "She's not the only one. She's the only one who came to the party this time."
There are very few investigators directly under the Inu Butler, and most of them have the same "dead otaku" attributes as him. This time, the Inu Butler had never thought of coming. If he hadn't personally spoken, he would probably have also interacted with other direct investigators.
Just like the investigators, they stayed where they were.
When Butler Dog came to the party, he naturally had to bring some investigators with him. Unfortunately, his subordinates had already heard about it and disappeared under the name of entrustment before the party started. Xiao Hong was the only one with nothing to do, and Xiao Hong also wanted to see the world.
Only then did Butler Dog bring her here alone.
Luigi shook his head and did not go into details, but returned to the topic: "Why were you sure that Sipolov would come just now? Did you secretly notify the Ghost Butler?"
Butler Dog shook his head: "That's not true. However, although I did not directly inform Butler Ghost, it is not too different..."
Butler Dog didn't hide anything and told the reason.
Ghost Butler is the strongest person in Wanshiwu in terms of intelligence collection. It can even be said that the entire Wanshiwu intelligence investigation system was built by Ghost Deacon under his leadership.
It is precisely because the intelligence system is closely related to the Ghost Butler, so when Xiaohong took the Dog Butler's token to search for Sipolov, the Ghost Butler was definitely aware of it immediately.
Although the Ghost Butler didn't know why the Dog Butler wanted to check Sipolov, judging from the behavior of the inquiry, it can be seen that the Dog Butler was curious about Sipolov.
Through years of tacit understanding of cooperation, after confirming Dog Butler's interest in Sipolov, the Ghost Butler will definitely let Sipolov come to the dog house.
Luigi: "So, are you sure that Sipolov will come just because of his tacit understanding with the Ghost Butler for many years?"
Butler Dog nodded: "Yes. However, even if Xiaohong does not inquire about information, Sipolov will come to see me according to normal procedures."
Luigi: "Why do you say that?"
"Because there is a difference between a deacon's entrustment and an ordinary entrustment."
Ordinary entrustment only requires both parties to sign a good contract and make guarantees before it can proceed. But deacon entrustment must involve major events, and major events often have strong consequences.
It is even said that the client will conceal some information, which will lead to more serious consequences.
In order to avoid this situation, all the commissions accepted by the Deacon must have the entruster come to the Inu Deacon. Through the Inu Deacon's "ability", he can gain insight into the client's heart and confirm that he has not concealed information.
Sign the entrustment contract.
However, this process, which requires a canine butler to identify the client's heart, is usually done only in the last few steps.
Sipolov just came to Wanshiwu for the first time today, so he doesn’t necessarily have to go through this process yet.
However, because of Xiaohong's inquiry, Ghost Butler will definitely take action. I guess this process will be carried out in advance.
Therefore, no matter what, if Sipolov wants to entrust him with a deaconship, he will definitely come to see the dog deacon. It is just a matter of time.
Butler Dog's answer cleared up Luigi's doubts.
However, the Ghost Butler mentioned in the Dog Butler's answer made Luigi curious again.
At present, although Wanshiwu has revealed three deacons to the public, only the canine deacon is the most frequently seen, and there is very little information about the human deacon and the ghost deacon.
According to Gutales, the three deacons on the surface all have special abilities. The dog deacon can see into people's hearts, so what is the ability of the ghost deacon? What is the ability of the human deacon?
Faced with Luigi's inquiry, the Dog Butler thought for a while and did not refuse.
Anyway, Sipolov hasn't come yet, so there's no harm in chatting during this time. However, things about the other deacons are actually the secrets of Wanshiwu.
"I can tell you, but not directly."
In other words, Butler Dog will express it in other euphemistic ways. At the same time, Butler Dog also clearly says: "Even if you guessed it, it has nothing to do with me. Also, I hope you don't spread these things out."
Luigi assured him without hesitation.
After all, the Dog Butler can barely be regarded as Laplace's current incarnation. Luigi would definitely not trick the Dog Butler if he cheated other people.
The Dog Butler pondered for a moment and began to think about the words. After a while, the Dog Butler seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at Laplace: "I wonder if you still remember the lonely wind borer?"
Laplace nodded: "Remember, this is the story I told you."
During the time when Canine Butler was being studied by Laplace, in his spare time, Laplace would occasionally tell some pandimensional stories to Canine Butler.
These stories were all seen by Laplace through the reflection of the sea of empty mirrors.
They say they are stories, but they are actually true.
Among them, there is a story called "The Lonely Wind Borer".
The wind borer is a strange creature, which is made of wind and clouds. But Laplace doesn't know whether it is an elemental creature. Because elemental creatures have various strange shapes, but the wind borer has only one shape:
Insect type.
Wind borers live in a gaseous plane, and there is almost only one race of wind borers here.
Although the intelligent form of the wind borer cannot be seen in the reflection of the empty mirror sea, it can be seen from the details that the wind borer is a group creature. They live together all year round, forming a unique social civilization.
However, one time, Laplace discovered that there were actually some special cases among the wind borers. They were born in groups, but in the end they chose to leave alone.
This situation is very special. At first, Laplace thought that the situation of these wind borers was similar to that of penguins.
When penguins living in groups migrate, the large group will move in the same direction at the same time. But occasionally there will be one or two penguins with "rebellious bones" who do not move with the large group, but leave the group and go to distant places alone.
mountains.
And this kind of penguin that loses its colony will eventually die in a short period of time, not without accident.
Even if someone actively intervenes and corrects the penguins' route, they will still change direction and head towards death.
Laplace initially thought that wind borers, like penguins, had a "call of the mountains" situation. They responded to a call from a distant place, took the initiative to leave, and died heroically.
But later Laplace discovered that she was wrong.
Those wind borers that left alone are not dead. They live alone, outside the wind borer group.
After a period of research, Laplace finally confirmed an answer.
These solitary wind borers actually don’t know that groups exist at all.
Their world is only themselves.
This is not a description of selfishness, but an objective fact.
Wind borers do not have the eyes that normal creatures have, and they do not have an energy perspective to examine their surroundings. This is because the world in which wind borers live is gaseous, and there is no need to examine the external environment.
The reason why wind borers gather together is that they share a common sound frequency.
They rely on the common sound frequency to sense other companions around them. No matter how far away they are, as long as the sound frequency is the same, they can call their companions to their side.
This is the truth behind the gathering of wind borers.
Those lonely wind borers do not really want to be lonely, but they have a completely different sound frequency from other wind borers. The wavelengths are different, and they cannot sense the existence of other wind borers at all.
In their world, they only have themselves, and there are no other wind borers at all.
They are not longing for the mountains, but the mountains themselves.
This is the story of "The Lonely Wind Borer".
Although everyone understood the moral of the story, they didn't understand why Butler Dog told the story at this time.
Luigi: "Is this story related to the Ghost Butler?"
Dog Butler nodded slightly: "It's related to the core. In a sense, the birth of Ghost Butler is actually somewhat similar to the lonely wind borer."
Butler Dog did not continue, but went around in a circle and talked about another thing: "You should know Jingshan, right?"
Luigi nodded.
Jingshan is the territory of the Toujing clan. The Toujing clan is very strange. They appear to be a humanoid race, but in fact the outer shell is not important to them at all.
What matters is their "awareness".
Headshots are a stream-of-consciousness race. Their consciousness can move among all Headshots in the race, so their core lies in consciousness, and the bodies of those people... can be shared completely. This pure stream-of-consciousness race, internally
They are all communication of consciousness, and external communication is "synthetic dialogue."
Inu Butler shouldn't mention a topic suddenly. He mentioned Jingshan, which must have a purpose.
Luigi pondered for a moment: "Ghost Butler, are you a member of the Head Mirror Clan?"
The butler dog didn't answer, but its smile proved Luigi's guess was right.
Immediately afterwards, Butler Dog continued: "In fact, the Toujing clan, in a sense, is not a group of wind borers?"
Although the Head Lens clan can communicate with the outside world, they do so in a tricky way by occupying the outer shell and thereby interfering with the material world.
But the real content, which is the core of the Toujing clan - is consciousness.
Because they have the same consciousness wave, they build a network of consciousness, flow and blend in the network of consciousness, and are a true group of consciousness.
The wind borer uses the wavelength of sound to create a unique cluster shape.
There are indeed similarities between the two.
Luigi: "Looking at the two together, is the Ghost Butler an alien of the Toujing clan? Just like a lonely wind borer, incompatible with the consciousness grid of the Toujing clan?"
Although the canine butler didn't say a word, his eyes confirmed Luigi's guess.
Immediately afterwards, Butler Dog told a story about a spider that was parasitized and still weaved its web.
Combining the two previous stories, the general outline of the Ghost Butler has been slowly sketched out.
Ghost Butler was born in the Toujing Clan, but it has no interaction with the Toujing Clan's consciousness network at all, which means that it was eliminated by the Toujing Clan from the beginning.
Even when the Ghost Butler was eliminated, he didn't even have a useful body, and his pure consciousness was exiled.
Later, the Ghost Butler received help from the founder of All Things House and was lucky enough to occupy a human body.
And this human being was a hollow man who had just passed through the Eye of the Sea and happened to be picked up by the Tooth Fairy.
Perhaps due to the relationship between traveling through the sea eye, this hollow man is developing special talents, and as the ghost deacon merges into the hollow man's body, the special talents are combined with the ghost deacon's own consciousness.
In the end, the Ghost Butler not only received a body, but also a special talent.
