Don't call me evil god

Chapter 955 Generating the Idea King

"Don't you think this sounds familiar?"

Dolan reminded excitedly in the group chat set up by [Instant Messenger].

"Remove the speculation of the gray dwarf and only analyze the characteristics of the ghost!"

“You can’t see it, you can’t touch it.”

"And the most important thing is that they will assimilate their victims and turn them into new ghosts."

"Cognitive interference! Everyone!"

"Think about it from another angle. If ghosts are a kind of cognitive interference, doesn't that make sense?"

“Could those victims who disappeared after being attacked also be affected by cognitive interference?”

"I mean, just like Annabell, through cognitive erasure, making people disappear out of thin air!"

"Perhaps, the people from the Church of the Supreme Truth are hiding in the Howling Abyss, disguising themselves in this way to capture the sacrifice!"

Dolan used to be a wild bard. His specialties were his broad thinking, flexible mind, and extremely rich associative ability.

Give him any information and he'll talk nonsense and make up a plausible-sounding story for you.

This expertise now plays a unique role.

"What about the howling? The intelligence mentioned that Annabelle's cognitive erasure is a direct disappearance. The affected person is completely unable to detect her existence. Even if she slaps you hard in front of you, you won't be able to realize the problem."

"How do you explain that the sound of howling means the approach of ghosts?"

Some colleagues pointed out the loopholes in Dolan's speculation.

Dolan uttered a sound.

The phenomenon of howling is really hard to explain.

If the purpose is to establish the personality of a monster like "Ghost", the fact that they are invisible and intangible and can make their victims disappear out of thin air are enough to prove their characteristics.

There is no need to add the howling setting.

However, Master Petwin, who had been keeping a low profile since arriving in the Deep Area, sent out a message thoughtfully.

"This may be an intentional flaw!"

"Think about it."

"If such a monster really exists."

"You have no way of detecting its presence, but it may make you disappear at any time when you are least prepared."

"What will you do when the activity area of ​​this monster is discovered?"

Someone immediately responded: "Of course, stay away from that place... Oh!"

He realized it halfway through his speech.

The Howling Abyss is considered a "land of exile" rather than a "forbidden land" by the gray dwarves.

The former means danger, but there is a chance of survival, and theoretically it is even possible to survive there.

The latter is a dead end with no chance of survival; once you step into it, you will be equated with death.

If the ghost is really a monster image forged by the people of the Church of Supreme Truth using cognitive interference.

If you want to use it to capture victims, the principle is actually the same as cutting leeks.

There is no way to guard against it at all, although you can pull up the leeks with their roots and get a big harvest.

But the subsequent gains are difficult.

Because the gray dwarves all know that the best way to avoid being harmed by ghosts is to stay away from them and not even get close to them.

It is precisely because ghosts have the characteristic of howling that they can be guarded against.

When moving in the Howling Abyss, you must always be alert. When you hear the faint howling sound in the distance, try to hide on the spot or change your route to avoid the ghosts. Then there is a possibility of successfully passing through the Howling Abyss. Those unlucky people who disappear after being attacked by ghosts will blame the attack on their bad luck or lack of vigilance and failure to avoid the ghosts.

Master Petwin has a broader vision than Dolan, and he can better understand the driving force of interests.

"Some enchanting materials have strict time limits. From the time they are collected to the time they are used, it must be done within a few days, otherwise the materials will lose their activity."

"After collecting the materials, we will definitely not have enough time to return to the Limoen settlement from the Fungus Sea."

"There will definitely be some brave and greedy gray dwarves who will take risks and try to cross the Howling Abyss to save time and earn more rewards!"

"Otherwise, the gray dwarves wouldn't have marked a shortcut through the Howling Abyss on the map they made."

"This means that there are brave and experienced explorers who have figured out the situation in the Howling Abyss."

Dolan thought about it and added to Petunia's message.

"I think, to be more precise, it should be the situation after the Howling Abyss was disturbed by cognition."

"If our assumption is correct, the ghost was created by the people of the Church of the Supreme Truth."

"Since they can use cognitive interference to affect the psychedelic opium den, affect enchantment materials, and even affect beings like the Gray Dwarf King."

"Then it shouldn't be a problem to interfere with the Howling Abyss a little more, right?"

"Perhaps there is actually a base of the Church of the Supreme Truth hidden there?"

The believers who made up this team discussed quickly for a while and had completed a fairly complete set of hypotheses and logical chains.

And it is indeed self-consistent!

"If there is a stronghold," Lancelot's eyes lit up and he rolled up his sleeves: "We..."

Dolan decisively pulled his sleeves back up, then punched his tough friend hard with his fist.

"Don't even think about destroying the base! We are operating covertly now, don't forget that!"

"If we really find that there is a stronghold of the Supreme Truth there, it would be enough to record it!"

"Once we have all the intelligence, we will work together to wipe them out!"

"If you go and dismantle the base now, won't that expose our ability to see through cognitive interference?"

Lancelot bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Well, you are right."

"but……"

Dolan changed the subject and looked at Lancelot with a strange look.

"There is a way that might help us get more information, but it might be... no, it should be said that it will definitely be dangerous."

"Everyone, is there anyone willing to die?"

"If the ghosts are really created by the Church of the Supreme Truth, we can arrange a few people to find a way to 'cooperate' with the ghosts and be attacked by them. Then, we can naturally infiltrate the Church of the Supreme Truth."

"As a victim, or even a sacrifice."

Lancelot couldn't help but twitch his lips.

His mood is a bit complicated.

Because he is familiar with this method!
Back then, in the dwarven excavation site in the Spirit Wing Wetlands, he was accidentally captured and used as a sacrifice to the Stone Spirit Fetus, which led to a breakthrough in the investigation at the time, and also allowed him to obtain rich [Main Quest] contribution rewards after the Stone Fortress Defense Battle was settled.

After all, he was forced to be a sacrifice to obtain intelligence, which was indeed a great achievement.

At the moment, Dolan has become the idea king of the team.

He intends to actively replicate this "tactics".
