Chapter 380 Afterimage

Mr. Kai's long jet-black hair hung down to his waist.

It was an abnormal hair color that was pitch black.

It is not a black with a little reflection that ordinary people can have, and it even reminds people of a dark night.

"Don't be nervous, Your Excellency Salvatore."

Mr. Kai's voice was unusually gentle: "If I were hostile to you, I wouldn't have brought you here."

"...Did you bring me here?"

Salvatore was stunned: "It's no wonder..."

Although his intuition is relatively accurate.

But no matter how lucky you are, you won't be able to walk directly to the target's face for no reason without any information.

"Is [intuition rewriting]?"

Salvatore recognized the spell immediately.

This is a silver-level spell of the Prophet School—a relatively rare nuisance spell in the Prophet School. But it is not purely a nuisance spell... Its effect is to make the target's intuition "just like the caster thinks".

For example, suddenly let the opponent "intuitively think that the person in front of me is an enemy", or "intuitively feel that this person is easy to get along with", "intuitively think that this attack should not be avoided" and so on.

Because it does not require contact to take effect, and it does not have any special effects when it takes effect. Although the effect is not mandatory, it just makes the subject "instinctively think so", but if it is guided by the trend, it may have a particularly good effect.

"That's right," Mr. Kai nodded lightly, "I used this spell to bring you in.

"In this way, the people around will not be alarmed."

"...You really have bad intentions, don't you?"

Salvatore narrowed his eyes, put his hands in his arms, and clenched the potion he made: "The profession of Name Shaper has already opposed the school of prophets... Then how did you use this spell?"

Although Salvatore knew that this was just a bluff - because after he changed his profession to an alchemist, his combat effectiveness can be said to have not increased but decreased.

Even if he used the potion, he might not be able to defeat this golden-rank wizard.

Mr. Kai looked at him with some amusement: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Salvatore.

"If I'm really hostile to you..."

As he spoke, he casually took off a mask from the side and put it on top of his own.

Just like the scales of a fish were being peeled off piece by piece, pieces of his body were peeled off and turned over in pieces the size of a child's fist - in the blink of an eye, Mr. Kai turned into Salvatore's appearance.

"Salvatore on the opposite side" was startled suddenly, his eyes widened and he looked over in astonishment.

And Salvatore was also shocked.

Like a cat whose hair has been blown up, he looked at Mr. Kai in horror.

At that moment, even Salvatore himself thought he was looking in a mirror.

"...Then it's impossible for you to get out of here."

Mr. Kai said leisurely: "Of course, there may also be a 'Salvatore' who will walk out from here,

But that won't be you. "

"...tsk."

Salvatore smacked his lips.

Although it is a threat.

But when it comes to this, Salvatore can understand that the other party does not have any malicious intentions.

Although it may be strange to say this...but after a person who can easily hammer himself to death shows "the means to easily destroy the corpse and wipe out the trace", he can believe that the other party is indeed not malicious.

"I also understand what you're thinking...you think of me as someone's 'alternate self', right?"

Mr. Kai's tone was soft and gentle, and he explained softly like a very patient teacher: "Let's put it this way, Your Excellency Salvatore. If you saw these blank masks, what would you immediately think of?"

"……mask?"

Salvatore repeated.

He looked at the blood-red smiling face, frowned slightly and looked at the blank mask hanging in the crimson curtain around him: "What I want to say... probably is 'weird'."

"Then why do you have such an idea?"

Without waiting for Salvatore's reply, Mr. Kai replied softly: "Is it because of my mask? It's like a clown... right?"

This is exactly what Salvatore had in mind.

It's just that he felt a little impolite, so he didn't say it.

"It's normal. It's also a preconception, and I prefer to call it an 'afterimage.'"

Mr. Kai took Salvatore further into the room.

On the way, he said casually: "It's like after you stare at the sun, and then look at a blank place, there will be an afterimage of the sun in your eyes.

"When you pay special attention to someone, and when you see a stranger, you will always see that person's shadow in your mind. Just like when people look at a blank mask, they will have different images in their minds.

"Maybe it's a hero's mask, or a bronze antique, or a funny mask, or a mask painted as an animal. A blank mask is like a 'blank name', full of possibilities .

"And this is also a primitive law of similarity—although it is not that similar, it is older than the modern law of similarity. When ancient priests held public ceremonies, they would smear themselves with eye shadow or wear stones. The purpose of making a mask is to make oneself more similar to the gods, so as to strengthen the effect of the ceremony.

"Even if people have never seen a god, when they think of a god, they automatically think of priests."

Speaking of this, Mr. Kai said meaningfully: "And when you see Professor Wolf and the rotting man, you will think of me... This is also very reasonable. Just like after you lose something, you will think of me." Instinctive suspicion is the same as the first person to see——

"It's not because you think he is the most likely to do it, but because the moment you see his appearance, the vague 'suspect' imagined in your mind is confirmed."

"...I haven't said what I saw yet."

Salvatore just felt the doubts in his heart deepened.

He frowned: "How do you know what I saw?"

"Because what I see is not the past, but the future."

Mr. Kai replied: "As you said...the Name Shaper needs to oppose the Prophet School, which means that the Name Shaper cannot use the Prophet spell.

"But it's not absolute—just like the wind dancers of the elves can't learn spells, but when they use spell energy, they can also achieve the same effect as casting spells..."

He said, leading Salvatore into the basement.

Although Salvatore was a little uneasy, he still followed behind.

Looking back at Salvatore, Mr. Kai couldn't help laughing: "You really dare to follow me."

"...Because after I calmed down, I took a closer look at my thoughts and found that you did not have any malicious intentions."

Salvatore pursed his lips: "I'm sorry before...you are right, it is indeed just an 'afterimage'. I wasn't sure if you were another identity of Professor Wolf, but I saw Then you just 'determined' on your own."

"I'm really pleased that you can react so quickly."

In an empty place, Mr. Kai said softly: "However, you did guess one thing right..."

Under the faint candlelight, Mr. Kai opened his mask and put it on the table beside him.

Salvatore saw it very clearly.

— there was nothing in there.
