Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1719 Bitter Fruit (VIII)

One of the core differences between dreams and reality is that the former is more idealistic, so one cannot easily believe appearances.

As a dream master with experience in operating multiple projects, Fu Qian has always had a deep understanding of this.

So the first moment he confirmed that this place might not be real, he was already considering using the conspiracy theory as a powerful weapon to help himself be more vigilant.

Doubt all cause and effect relationships, deny all superficial gestures, and assume that all actions have ulterior motives.

I even just talked with Ms. Sissi, an expert in this field, and benefited a lot from it.

Once you take this perspective, the more reasonable something seems on the surface, the more shocking conspiracy it may contain secretly.

For example, the summary I made earlier - there is no contradiction in the information provided by everyone.

If we interpret it positively, it would naturally be that a group of people are truly hiding from the darkness, and for various motives, they are working together to provide valuable information to a foreigner like me.

But if they were all villains, their actions would be interpreted in a completely different way - using completely different attitudes and perfect performances to induce themselves to stay in the church to the greatest extent possible.

Even the bride, who seemed to have a different opinion and was going crazy when she called herself out but was rejected, was just a typical negative example from this perspective.

And there was also the atmosphere group who remained silent the entire time.

The four people each performed their duties without leaving any trace.

Logically, these are two interpretations that both make sense.

And because the mission target has not appeared until now, there is no way to make a judgment based on that.

  But this does not mean that there is no way to verify it - why not give the other person a taste of their own medicine, become a double-dealer yourself and let the other person guess, and then observe the reaction?

The act of directly sending the elixir away just now was of such a nature.

According to the first interpretation, although the bride seemed to be very normal just now, she had actually gone completely crazy under the invasion of darkness.

After being ruthlessly rejected for the second time when invited to "elope", this distortion could no longer be hidden. In an outburst, he angrily decided to destroy his own survival props in revenge.

Faced with this situation, the normal reaction would be to put the thing away and never let her succeed, but I chose to hand it to her directly.

With such an abnormal behavior, the bride will need to work hard to guess her true intentions, and then make different choices about how to handle the potion for her own observation.

As for which choice she makes, which means it is not the first case and the conspiracy theory is established?

There was no need to determine which one it was, as long as she "guessed" it.

  Why should we guess the true intentions of a madman who can't control his outbursts just because of a small abnormal behavior?

Unless her madness is fake.

……

The only option for the bride to keep the situation confusing is to destroy the props the moment she hands it over.

Even though he tried to remedy the situation afterwards, and even drank the food directly for a very visually appealing effect, his previous behavior that deviated from his character setting could not be erased.

Even though the final choice seemed crazy, as long as you look at it from the perspective of an outsider, it is easy to see that this behavior is almost the choice that can continue to bring you the greatest psychological pressure.

Once again showing the crazy redemption of the character, while also naturally leading to something even more terrifying in the depths of darkness.

For example, the "it" that is destroying her.

All in all, in Fu Qian's eyes, this can be said to be an act of making things worse.

In addition, although the sound was erratic, it was still faintly approaching here.

However, while Fu Qian was waiting openly, "it" never came close enough.

Until a candle flame suddenly appeared in the darkness, and in an instant it filled the field of vision, flickering.

…It’s really interesting.

When the firelight in his field of vision faded again, Fu Qian easily discovered that it was not a real candle flame, but a reflection in a pair of watery eyes, and he could even see his own image in it.

What’s even more special is that these eyes don’t even belong to a living person.

Thick black gauze robe and seductive red lips.

It was a doll that was very similar in appearance to Hilaria in the basement of the church, but much smaller in stature. It was a doll that sat opposite him.

And not the only one.

At this moment, I was in a wooden house, sitting facing one of the corners.

Including "Hilaria", there are a total of five puppets of different shapes, forming a semicircle surrounding himself.

The bride, the old lady, the middle-aged man, the dejected man, and the remaining four were, as expected, the refugees in the church.

Like Hilaria, they all looked at themselves with eyes reflecting dancing flames.

"You must cooperate with the treatment. You won't get better like this."

Just then, a voice that had never been heard before came from behind.

He is not young, but very bad. There is no noble character of saving lives and helping the wounded in his character.

Fortunately, Fu Qian didn't care about this, he was only concerned about the amount of information it contained.

  So all the experiences just now were actually the treatment process, and the person behind you is the real doctor?

I told you that you still have to go to a clinic to see a doctor. You can't just rely on the feudal superstitions in the buildings.

Fu Qian had already turned away while sighing.

It actually looks like a clinic.

In addition to various bottles and jars, at a glance you can even see reclining chairs similar to those used for diagnosis, as well as iron-framed beds covered with leather.

Among them, a thin man with green eyes, gray hair and a long chin was looking at this side with a strange expression.

……

"Hey, do you remember? Your attending physician Dorian?"

Facing Fu Qian's gaze, the latter took the initiative to speak again and even introduced himself.

"Sorry, don't remember."

Unfortunately, Fu Qian did not show his support and just shook his head honestly.

"It's okay. It's normal to not remember after drinking that potion. Otherwise, the treatment won't work at all."

There was no displeasure. Dorian expressed his understanding and even gestured to Fu Qian.

  So I need to take the amnesia potion?

With this kind of treatment, aren't you afraid of not getting the consultation fee?

Looking at the empty bottle there, Fu Qian complained in his heart for a moment.

"It's a little strange though. How do you know that if you stay in the dark long enough, the treatment will end?"

Dorian, however, had thought of something and looked really curious.

"I don't know, I just have a stronger rebellious mentality."

Unfortunately, Fu Qian still looked frighteningly honest.

"No one wanted me to go out, but I wanted to see what 'it' was... but unfortunately I didn't get to wait."
