Chapter 2549 Fourfold Power of Heart-Piercing
No one responded.

That's the good thing about academics; they're very easily stumped by their own logical thinking.

From what the people behind the door said, we can infer that the characteristics of a shadow are not only its lack of self-awareness, but also at least two related properties—

Firstly, it is indeed possible that these researchers, like those infected with a curse, unknowingly entered this state.

Otherwise, people would have just scoffed at his nonsense back then.

The second shadow and the normal state are completely opposite; they appear invisible to each other.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be any problem with not being able to tell them apart. If a group of people just get together and check each other, it would be obvious who is infected.

In conclusion, under these circumstances, the current situation leads to a highly damaging conclusion.

If an uninvited guest is not a shadow, then doesn't that mean we should consider the invisible crowd as shadows?
Honesty and integrity towards both young and old—there's practically no other possibility.

"Not everyone needs to come. Whoever is most confident, I'll wait here."

And the faces of those who have gained the upper hand are becoming even uglier.

The mockery continues, waiting to be proven wrong.

……

This is a classic example of overwhelming the opponent with superior strengths; never give up your advantages too easily.

Although the operation may seem a bit shameless at first glance, it is only the most insignificant aspect for Fuqian.

The crux of the matter is that, no matter what, the will of these people is still confined to this space-time.

With this informational advantage, many judgments become much easier by nature.

So although the little game we just played wasn't very sophisticated, it was essentially about stimulating reactions and then gathering more information.

Of course, from the perspective of those who are paying upfront, we tend to think that the situation of these people is not optimistic.

"So you didn't even have the courage to come out from behind the door?"

There was still no response, but the mockery continued.

"Actually, I was very curious from the beginning why you would do this."

"Afraid that I'll crack your skull open? I don't think that's what you're worried about... On the contrary, let me guess, is the inside of your lab also like the back room, where no one else can see in?"

Thanks to his good thinking habits, Fu Qian easily entered the second stage of "mind-searching," directly pointing out the dark behavior of everyone hiding behind the door.

"Could it be that deep down, you've been worried about encountering someone like me?"

……

Yes, I'm afraid to see anyone.

No matter how strange and mysterious his previous appearances were, this was Fu Qian's first reaction to the act of hiding behind a door.

The various events that followed further reinforced this idea.

The emergence of shadow theory makes it easy to build a prisoner's game model.

Nobody wants to be scrutinized, because nobody has confidence in their own condition.

Even if you are confident, if others are not in a good state, you may still become an outcast and be targeted.

Therefore, before even starting the small test, it was almost certain that no one else would dare to follow.

Of course, it seems to be of the nature of the wisdom of etching, similar to a mixture of various elements and spacetime, forcibly creating a monstrosity.

In this situation, it's not really necessary to apply logic to everything.

But logical reasoning is still useful, because as long as the people inside still have normal thinking, they will definitely try to find an explanation for their own state.

By making good use of this, one can easily lead people into getting stuck on trivial details.

Essentially, this also falls under the category of "dimensional reduction attack".

In short, attacking someone's heart is that simple. "Are you saying that the guy locked in the back room is innocent... we messed up and drove the right person to the brink?"

In the blink of an eye, morale was on the verge of collapse, and finally someone stepped forward.

The first person to speak up, the one behind the door, seemed somewhat responsible, coldly questioning him.

"The correct one... that's a good title."

Recalling the scene in the back room where the human body gradually transformed into a jellyfish, Fu Qian let out a series of ambiguous laughs.

Theoretically, that person should have already become a shadow at that time, but it's unknown whether that was the case before being imprisoned.

"The greatest advantage of doing academic research is that no matter what we say, there is only one correct answer—so have you found the answer to the extraordinary end?"

……

The third level of the power to destroy the mind.

It is only those of the same kind who know where the Achilles' heel is, and at that moment, Fu Qian effortlessly delivered a fatal blow to academics.

You speak so eloquently, so stubbornly and irrefutably, but what have you actually accomplished?
If there is, there is, if there is not, there is not.

On the one hand, he confirmed that he had found the answer before paying, and on the other hand, he was so confident that he only dared to boast that he was "about to find the answer" when he was trying to find a reason.

They're just a bunch of cowards who only dare to hide behind doors; they're probably unwilling to pay the price for peeking at the truth.

"I think I said it was very close..."

However, forces are reciprocal, and such ruthless and continuous attacks on the mind inevitably provoked a rebellion.

After a moment of silence, the person behind the door began to speak in a strange tone, specifically with a ruthless urge to kill, like a volcano about to erupt.

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, you're doomed.

"Heh...you think I don't know that in our circle, these kinds of things are said to ghosts. Of course, there are also idiots who say them to themselves."

Unfortunately, Fu Qian still ignored this momentum. Not only did he not restrain himself, but he even escalated to the fourth level of the power to destroy the heart in the blink of an eye, completely negating the other party's academic spirit.

"...It seems we'll have to find another way to communicate."

Although this seemed to free the other party from their constraints, at the same moment the person behind the door responded, all the silver dots and lines in their field of vision began to shimmer.

A familiar feeling of stars tearing apart quickly accumulated within me.

“That makes sense. You want a lighthouse, right? Come on, look here.”

Fu Qian readily agreed, and even snapped his fingers at that moment to signal the audience not to blink.

Feeling lost without light?

It's okay. As a scientific researcher, you must have faith in the light.

Endless and infinitely glorious.

The remnants of the law, casually activated, dispelled the darkness and overshadowed the stars in that instant.

And through the channels secretly observed by researchers, their will surged in.

……

Of course, it's not about doing pointless things like retaliatory attacks.

Although the discussions were intense, for Fu Qian, spending this time communicating with researchers was not only about the content of the discussions themselves, but also about the waiting.

Surprisingly, no other superiors were involved in this time-space anomaly.
In Fu Qian's eyes, this situation was somewhat desolate.

Even the researchers' retaliatory actions after being provoked were so powerless.

In short, the current situation is either to accept this quietness or to believe that someone in a higher position is even better at hiding than the presiding judge.

Given the suspicion surrounding the second scenario, the pre-payment preparations were made to escalate the situation further.
