Zuniga chuckled a few times and said: "I don't want to express anything, I just made a small guess."
"Most of the medical staff and patients here stay in Town 14 all year round, and their living circle is also here. Just by asking a little about their social circles, you can know their lives, experiences, personalities,
Preferences... combined with these details and a little speculation, you can know what kind of reaction they will make under what circumstances."
"Everyone's circumstances are different, so they will have different reactions to the same thing."
"For example, if the Beverly Nursing Center had just experienced a dangerous virus leak disaster that could lead to apocalyptic risks, even if the disaster was solved now, their response would be different."
Zuniga paused.
"They have just experienced a virus disaster. It is when they have intense emotional reactions that they either contact their families, go to a pub, or go to the red alley to vent... This is human nature."
"But if they don't have any emotions, they are still on duty, doing the research on the virus, and they are still making progress... Do you think this is normal?"
Speaking of this, Zuniga controlled the boy who heard the news to turn his head and glance at Angel.
Angel lowered his eyebrows, as if he didn't notice his gaze.
"So, I would venture to guess that they may have been hypnotized. It may even be that the entire nursing center has been hypnotized."
"Of course, this is just a guess on my part. However, I always like to live my worst guess as a normal person."
"So, even though this is speculation, in my opinion, it is fact..."
"The ability to hypnotize so many people at the same time is really scary."
Zuniga's emotion is sincere.
In the eyes of others, even in the eyes of the medical staff in the bureau, everything is normal in the nursing center. However, if you investigate a little more deeply, you will find that the people inside are too calm.
This large-scale hypnosis even made Zuniga feel like a "meme".
And the person behind all of this is most likely the person from outside the world.
On the other side, after listening to Zuniga's story, Angel also had a sudden realization. Sure enough, the flaw was in the Beverly Care Center.
Previously, in order to complete the hidden mission and to keep the doctors, nurses and patients calm and avoid things going wrong, he forcibly suppressed everyone's emotions.
At that time, Angel didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
But unexpectedly, this small detail was discovered by Zuniga, and he was further speculated to have the ability of group hypnosis.
Although Angel personally felt that there was a logical flaw in Zuniga's inference, he was not prepared to refute it... Zuniga had already made his character clear. Regardless of whether the speculation was true or not, he
Don’t be afraid to assume the worst case scenario for others.
For people like Zuniga, as long as he firmly believes in his own ideas, he will not believe it even if he refutes him and corrects his logical faults.
Unless there is absolute evidence that his guess is wrong, then it is possible to refute him.
But his speculation itself is true, and it is absolutely impossible for Angel to refute him with "facts".
Therefore, Angel remained silent.
And his silence, in Zuniga's view, was acquiescence.
Zuniga continued: "As for you being able to monitor me, I don't need to explain this. I believe you know the reason yourself. Our overlap is such a coincidence. Every time I enter the challenge space, you will appear next to me.
In my opinion, this can only be achieved if you have special surveillance capabilities."
Angel: "You know I can spy on you, so you still come to Beverly Care Center?"
Zuniga: "I'm here, and I know you know it. But it doesn't matter, because I'm here just to show an attitude, and I want to see your attitude."
If Angel is really constantly monitoring him, Zuniga knows very well that if Angel is unwilling to see him, then he can't find Angel no matter how hard he looks.
But that doesn't mean Zuniga has to give up.
He kept running around, sometimes going to the central area, and sometimes coming to the Beverly Nursing Center, just to show his attitude.
He used his actions to tell Angel that I want to see you.
As for whether Angel is willing to see him, Zuniga doesn't know, but he can wait.
Now...he just waited.
…
"So, you asked the rumor boy to collect information on the social circles of doctors and patients?"
Angel did not deny it anymore.
Zuniga nodded: "Yes, it seems that your surveillance cannot be perfect. You can only monitor me, but not the rumored boy."
Angel: "..."
After listening to Zuniga's "speculation", Angel finally confirmed it in his heart.
Previously, when Zuniga was having a conversation with the Heiwen boy on the roof of the building, he suddenly chose to communicate consciously. It was most likely that he was testing himself through this.
Angel had previously thought that Zuniga was doing it for convenience...
Looking at it now, he is still too young.
Zuniga is totally an old fox.
Seeing Angel's sudden silence, Zuniga smiled: "The topic seems to have reached an impasse. Let me go back to the previous story. I haven't extended the ending of the story just now... However, I think you should
Have you guessed why I told that story?"
Angel: "Are you worried that I will spy on you and hypnotize you?"
"I am just a bad old man, and there is nothing shameful in my life. Moreover, I have also experienced a stage in my life when my life was transparent and watched by everyone. So if you want to spy on me, I don't care that much." Zuniga paused.
, the topic changed: "However, I am indeed worried about you hypnotizing me."
"Surveillance cannot change my will, nor can it stop my free will, but hypnosis can."
Zuniga: "I don't want to be hypnotized, but I also know that I may not be able to stop your behavior. Even in the face of your hypnosis, I may not have the ability to resist."
"All I can do is change myself."
"Just like the lich in the story, I also separated a part of my soul, will, and memory and hid it in the 'box'."
"Although this box does not have the rebirth ability of the Lich Box, I have given it the subjective initiative of screening."
"It is like a remote-controlled machine. Once it discovers that my body is hypnotized, it can press the button in a distant unknown place and cause my body to completely die."
In other words, Zuniga would rather die than become a hypnotized person.
Angel could tell that most of what Zuniga said was true.
But there are some words in it, and some lies mixed in. But Angel can't judge which sentence is false and which sentence is true.
However, Angel understands now.
Why did Zuniga create such a special space, such a long staircase, and a seemingly unrelated "lich" story before meeting him?
All his preparations were just to tell Angel that he resisted all forms of hypnosis.
I'd rather have broken jade.
Angel also understood Zuniga's thoughts. If anyone knew that he could be hypnotized at any time, or even change his mind silently, he would probably be intolerable.
Especially, this person is still a strong man.
Even though he looks like an ordinary homeless man now, nothing on the outside can erase the pride hidden inside.
Angel was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Actually, the people at the Beverly Nursing Center were not hypnotized. I just suppressed their emotions."
"As you just said, the doomsday disaster is just around the corner. Panic cannot solve the disaster, and it may even worsen it."
"But everyone's personality is different. Some people will be desperate, pessimistic, and give up when faced with disasters. I can't dominate everyone, so I can only choose to suppress their emotions and keep them calm.
.”
"Of course, I also gave some guidance on some key things. For example, after solving the apocalyptic disaster, I guided doctors to study the virus because there were still many infected people in the care center who had not yet recovered."
Zuniga: "I know, I saw it. In the Daily News, it described you as an unknown savior."
"It is precisely because I know you are a good person that I chose to use morality to kidnap you."
Angel looked at Zuniga with some surprise: "You are honest."
Zuniga: "Because I have also been kidnapped by morality."
Zuniga's eyes were a little dark, but he didn't say much. Angel chuckled and nodded: "Okay, I promise you not to use hypnosis... Well, I won't use the ability to influence emotions either."
"Of course, the premise is that we can be honest with each other." Angel: "Because, I have many things I want to ask you."
Zuniga: "I can see it. If you didn't have something to do with me, you probably wouldn't come to see me."
Angel nodded noncommittally.
The main reason why he promised Zuniga not to use hypnosis was indeed related to the "Litch Box" that Zuniga mentioned.
If what Zuniga said is true and he divided his consciousness and hid it, then it would be difficult to find it.
Although he can see many things from God's perspective, he still cannot discover things that are deliberately hidden. For example, if the rumored boy is hiding his actions, Angel may not be able to discover him using God's perspective.
In other words, Zuniga is really determined to hide his "consciousness box", and the probability of Angel finding it is not very high.
And once Angel fails to find the "consciousness box", Zuniga can use his thoughts to detonate his body at any time.
Zuniga... In Angel's opinion, it is a refreshing point for high-end fashion monsters.
It would be a pity to let him die like this.
For this reason, Angel could not let Zuniga die.
At this time, they had reached the end of this long staircase, and the red-lit door was right in front of them.
Zuniga turned his head: "I am very grateful that you chose to enter the spiritual rest house. I believe that we will have a sincere conversation next."
After finishing speaking, the boy's eyes gradually changed from calm before to blank and clear.
Apparently, Zuniga's will has left its body.
The Fengwen boy shook his head and then looked at the red-lit door in front of him: "Ah, are we here now?"
The boy who heard about it turned around and looked at Angel: "First, sir, we are here. Shall we go in?"
Looking at the Wenwen boy who became timid again, Angel smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
As they stepped into the red light door, everything around them changed.
According to reality, they should be on the roof of that building at this time. But when Angel looked around, he saw a small room decorated with "notes" everywhere.
There are black and red stripes on the top of the head, and black and red musical notes on the ceiling.
The floor is the same style, but instead of stripes it is black and red marble tiles.
The candles on the walls, the coloring of the baroque tables and chairs in the middle, the style of the carpets... everything is dominated by black and red notes.
It looks like this is more like a lounge that is obsessed with the gorgeous style of musical notes.
And Zuniga was sitting at the end of the tea table in the center of the lounge.
When he saw Angel walking in, Zuniga stood up and came over to greet him.
"Welcome to the spiritual resting place."
…
A resting place for the soul.
This is the name of this lounge.
After Angel entered here, he felt the powerful information flowing around him.
He directly intercepted part of it for analysis.
He thought that the information analyzed this time was still vague. Just like the energy hidden under the stairs before, he could only know the general situation.
However, the information analyzed this time surprised him...it was unexpectedly detailed.
"Soul Rest: An unstable space built by spiritual notes. Everyone within the scope of the Soul Rest, including the builder, can only tell the truth and cannot tell lies. Once a lie is told, the Soul Rest
It will collapse and dissipate immediately."
When Angel parsed this information, Zuniga on the opposite side was saying the same thing.
"Didn't you hope that we could be honest before? This place perfectly meets your requirements."
"This space is called the Soul Rest, and it is constructed from the spiritual notes of the City of La La. Within the scope of the Soul Rest, you can only tell the truth and not lie, including me."
"In this way, the communication between us will be absolutely sincere."
What Zuniga said is similar to the information analyzed by Angel himself.
It's most likely true.
However, there is one more term that worries Angel: La La Land?
Although Angel was curious, he did not ask immediately. Instead, he followed Zuniga's words and said, "What if we lied?"
Zuniga: "If you tell a lie, your spiritual sanctuary will collapse directly. This collapse will not have much impact on you and me. The only impact is on the process and results of our communication."
Previously, when they were on the third floor, Zuniga once said something to Angel: Whether you move forward or stop, we will still meet after all. But there are differences in the different ways of meeting.
At the time, Angel didn't quite understand what Zuniga meant.
Now, he understands.
Zuniga and Angel are strangers themselves. Zuniga cannot trust Angel, and Angel cannot trust Zuniga.
On the basis of mutual distrust, if you want to have frank communication, there must be some external catalytic factors.
The spiritual resting place is this factor.
When they have a rest of their souls, in their conversations, even if they each have something to hide, what they are willing to say is at least true.
Without a place of spiritual rest, there will naturally be gaps.
That's why Zuniga said that there are differences in different ways of meeting. The process and results of communication will also be different because of this.
