Kapitel 118: "Imagination"
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ebner picked up Miss Judy, who was disguised as Roman and got into the carriage to hurry to the headquarters building of the Daily Observer.
On the way, since the carriage had been borrowed from the vampires, and the coachman had been personally made guest by Cullen, Judy had no qualms about telling Ebner about her meeting with Talim the night before.
"I used my 'Recorded Steps of Consciousness' ability to directly enter Talim's sea of consciousness. After confirming that he was fine, I got Cullen to meet him. Finally, I confirmed the meeting time with the prince behind him overnight."
Ebner was slightly surprised to hear Judy say this.
He wasn't wondering why Judy could "Record" her Beyonder powers. Ever since she revealed her Faceless powers, Ebner had guessed that she had a Beyonder item that could be from the Door pathway. Furthermore, her level shouldn't be low. Otherwise, it was impossible for her to record so many abilities that could change one's appearance.
What he was more concerned about was the Stroll of Consciousness revealed by Judy… If he didn't remember wrongly, this ability should be the core ability of a Sequence 4 Manipulator of the Spectator pathway. Based on the difficulty of recording a demigod's powers with Leymano's Travels from the Abraham family, it was likely that Judy had a demigod of the Spectator pathway or a corresponding Sealed Artifact behind her…
"What are you thinking?" Judy asked curiously, noticing that Ebner's eyes were wandering.
"I'm thinking that your plan tonight wouldn't be to use the Manipulator's Manipulation powers to directly tamper with the subconscious of Windsor Behring, who is suspected to be a Primordial Moon believer, and make her voluntarily walk into your trap after the ball, right?" Ebner snapped to his senses and guessed.
"I didn't expect your deduction to be so impressive! You guessed part of our plan from just a few words of mine… You're indeed a detective!" Judy did not hide her surprise, and her bright eyes were full of admiration.
Part of it… Which meant there were other plans? That made sense. How could an old vampire-like Cullen who had lived for hundreds of years not prepare a few backup plans…
Although he had such thoughts, Ebner deliberately said humbly, "No way. Your means are better… I heard that it's very difficult to 'record' a demigod's powers. That Beyonder item of yours is very precious."
Judy glanced at Ebner with a grin at that. "It's really hard," she said, seemingly casually. "My mother demonstrated it dozens of times to make my record successful."
From her tone, it seemed like she could tell that I was testing her? Then why did she tell me on purpose… Could it be that some big shot was using her mouth to send me a message?
With this thought in mind, Ebner, who had been reminded of his experience by a toolman who had traveled thousands of kilometers, immediately activated the Eye of Pure White. Using his logical ability that had been enhanced, he combined it with some of the original content and seriously analyzed it.
Speaking of which, the Church of Earth Mother actually has a demigod of the Spectator pathway… And I remember that Sloth, one of the councilors of the Psychology Alchemists, is in charge of Feynapotter, and she's a lady… It can't be that coincidental, right?
By the way, although the Psychology Alchemists was a subordinate organization that could not be nominated, most people in this organization did not know. Even the members of the Highest Council only knew "His" name after "He" became a god.
Could it be that Earth Mother is reminding me that the King of Angels might be paying attention to this place? But why didn't "She" directly say it?
Furthermore, most importantly, why is that person's gaze stopping in Backlund… Has "He" discovered something wrong? The butterfly effect caused by my arrival hasn't interfered with the historical process, right?
Wait a minute. On careful thought, the biggest butterfly effects I've caused in Backlund since I transmigrated are Xio and "Roy" and "Leena."
Without me, Xio wouldn't have investigated the gang that originally belonged to Lawson, and she wouldn't have attracted Roy's attention because she caught a member of the Knowledge Society and provoked Witch Leena.
After that, there would not be any reports from teachers that forced Roy and Lina to avoid the Church of Storms's arrest.
If Roy had not been forced to be too ruthless, he would not have hastily prepared the ritual to advance to the Demoness of Agony. He would not have been corrupted by the Primordial Moon believers, and he would not have been investigated by the Church of Earth Mother for stealing the Sealed Artifact…
I'm not very sure about Witch Leena, but I don't think it's simple. I don't know how she hooked up with the prince… Maybe she's the one who made the predetermined history happen.
In short, it was probably the two Demonesses who attracted the attention of that person…
And my previous requests and actions had more or less interacted with these two Demonesses, causing the effects to intertwine… Is this really a coincidence?
This is probably an existence deliberately stirring the water, causing the effects of my arrival to be concealed by Ray's performance on stage, pushing her "abnormality" in front of that person…
And now, it was very likely that Ray had crossed paths with the Primordial Moon. In that person's eyes, it was reasonable for it to affect "His" script.
Due to the lack of information, Ebner could only speculate to this point for the time being. Even so, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he might be scaring himself, several similar "wild guesses" gradually became facts. He did not dare to underestimate the result of "wild guesses" enhanced by the pure White Eye's logic.
Then, the next question is… who helped me mix the water and arranged a series of coincidences?
The name of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom appeared in Ebner's mind. Excluding the evil interests of those "writers", the only one who had the ability to do such a thing was probably the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. After all, "He" might be able to directly simulate the abilities of a "writer" and arrange some coincidences. "He" might even be able to learn the abilities of a Scholar of Yore before pulling out the Dragon of Nightmare, Alzuhod, from the "Historical Projection" to help "Him work…
At this moment, a new thought surfaced in Ebner's mind. Could the mind dragon Xio had encountered in East Chester County really be the work of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?
Yes, since "He" could pull out the historical projection of Alzuhod, and the Groselle's Travels was in the hands of "His" believers, this could completely allow the Dragon King, Ankewelt, to revive ahead of time… And Ankewelt was a very good tool dragon that attracted that person's attention. It was a perfect "scapegoat." Even the abnormal coincidences in Backlund could be blamed on "Him."
Furthermore, since the Dragon King, Ankewelt, had revived ahead of time, it was very likely that Old Master Hermes, who had been searching for "Him", knew the true identity of that person. Then, that old man's attitude might have changed…
Hmm, it was very difficult for the mysterious woman of the Tamara family to be related to the Dragon King who had long perished… However, Hermes was a true antique who had lived from the Dark Epoch until now. If he was the bridge that allowed the mysterious woman of Tamara to have a tacit understanding with the Dragon King, it would make sense…
Just as he thought of this, he felt a sharp pain in his brain, and the Eye of Pure White was shut off early.
His spirituality was about to dry up so quickly? Ebner subconsciously looked at his pocket watch and realized that only two minutes had passed. Furthermore, he had already reached the limit of 20 minutes due to the potion's digestion.
Ten times the usual expenditure? That was indeed not an ordinary "wild guess". It was more like a possible route that could be used under current conditions… What was this? A prophecy?
…
When the carriage arrived at the headquarters of the Daily Observer, the area around the five-story building had already been cordoned off. Groups of uniformed security guards guarded the perimeter and set up road cards to check on the attendees.
Most of the guests had received the news that a big shot would be present to speak, so they were not against it—at least on the surface, they did not dare to oppose it and cooperated with the security personnel's inspection.
As for MI9, who was disguised as a security guard, in order not to cause too much disgust to the guests, they also tried their best to select members with good looks to send over.
Hence, Miss Xio, who wasn't tall and didn't bring too much pressure, and who had a cute appearance, was naturally sent to the frontlines. Her mission was to register the guest's identity and use her Beyonder powers to sense if there were any auras related to evil, chaos, and madness among the guests.
As it was still early and most of the guests were still on the road, Xio was feeling a little bored when a low-key carriage stopped in front of the road card. Following that, a figure she was very familiar with and a lady alighted from the carriage.
Xio's gaze paused on the lady's arm that was wrapped around Ebner for a second before she walked forward and said expressionlessly,
"Please register your identity."
