Chapter 93 Trading

Code name: Peddler's Peddler

(Note: Commonly seen in secluded rural roads late at night, the figure appears as a hazy silhouette carrying two baskets and wearing a wide-brimmed hat.)

Something could be vaguely seen wriggling inside the baskets at both ends of the carrying pole.

He would hawk his wares in a hoarse voice, "Old debts and new ties, flesh and blood of the heart."

If someone responds or comes closer, a pale white hand will emerge from the basket and hand out something related to a deep-seated obsession in the responder's memory.

The next person will be "collected for debt" within seven days.

Result: Unresolved!

Both the description of the faceless man's appearance and the place where he appeared were almost identical to the "peddler's stall" in the records.

There are many kinds of strange spirits.

However, they are basically divided into two types.

One type is the immovable regional type. This type of alien is undoubtedly easier to deal with, as it can be dealt with by destroying the terrain.

Another type is the one that can move at any time, and this is undoubtedly the most troublesome.

They are all very difficult to handle.

Because its location is not fixed, it is difficult to solve effectively.

At that time.

The records about this peddler mention that it was a movable evil spirit.

Hu Long originally thought the other party relied on his two feet.

But to my utter surprise, it turned out to be by bus.

They are truly keeping up with the times and progressing with the times.

Regardless of what he was thinking, Hu Long didn't show it on his face.

Because he suddenly felt that fighting and killing wasn't a good thing, and that peaceful coexistence was best for the last stop.

Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned.

—Tap—Tap The person who seemed to be a peddler, without facial features, looked around and then walked straight toward the back of the carriage.

"Is this fox yours?"

Suddenly, a hoarse, shrill voice rang out inside the carriage.

Hu Long's eyes flickered slightly.

This voice did not belong to Qi Yun, nor to Qi Xian, and it certainly could not be the mechanical female voice broadcasting on the bus.

Then there's only one possibility left.

It is the faceless man before my eyes.

Looking over there.

At this moment, there was no ripple on the other person's smooth and flat face, and their expression was impossible to see.

But Hu Long could feel something being projected from that empty space and landing on him.

At that moment, the other person raised his head slightly, extended a finger, and pointed to the withered fox carcass at Hu Long's feet.

Hu Long glanced down.

He had originally planned to take the body back for further study, and had kept it untouched at his feet.

"be mine."

His voice was calm.

"I'll take this."

The faceless man spoke.

There was clearly no movement of the lips or opening and closing of the mouth, yet that hoarse, shrill voice came out out of nowhere.

It seemed to emanate from the back of that blank face, carrying a texture that did not belong to humanity.

Before the words were even finished, it reached into the basket beside it.

The basket didn't look big, but my arm went in more than halfway, as I rummaged through it.

A moment later, it withdrew its hand.

In the palm of my hand lay an egg the size of a fist.

The eggshell is covered with colorful patterns and mottled colors, as if it had been haphazardly painted with various paints.

"This is what we're exchanging."

Hu Long remained silent.

His gaze shifted back and forth between the egg and the other person.

The other party's intentions are obvious.

It was a forced sale.

Taking out this egg is merely a formality.

He could clearly sense that the other person was staring at him, waiting for his answer.

At the same time, the sense of danger intensified.

It felt as if invisible threads were gathering from all directions, tightening around the skin, and piercing into the bone marrow.

He understood that if he refused...

Something bad is about to happen.

Realizing this, Hu Long no longer hesitated.

He agreed immediately.

"it is good."

However, after waiting for a few seconds, the other party did not make any move to exchange.

A hint of regret flashed deep in Hu Long's eyes.

He had originally wanted to see if the other party had any skills, but it seems he has no choice but to give up.

He reached out, bent down, grabbed the shriveled fox carcass from the ground, and casually tossed it over.

The corpse arced through the air before falling into the faceless man's hands.

At the same time, the colorful egg was tossed over by the other party.

Hu Long reached out and took it; it felt slightly cool to the touch and had a rough, grainy texture.

At the same time.

The very next second after he took the egg.

Lines of silver text kept appearing before my eyes.

[Source Value +0.01]

[Source Value +0.01]

[Source Value +0.01]

"Um?"

Hu Long's eyes flickered.

Does the fact that this egg has a source value indirectly prove that this thing is also a kind of supernatural being?

"What is this?"

Hu Long thought for a moment and then asked.

The faceless man in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him.

Otherwise, you shouldn't have chosen to trade with him; you could have just robbed him outright.

Of course, it could also be due to some special rules.

But regardless of which one...

All of this is enough to prove that asking questions shouldn't be too dangerous.

"Spirit of Fire!"

The faceless man glanced at Hu Long.

He uttered three words.

In this regard.

Hu Long frowned and asked another question.

What does "spirit in fire" mean?

however.

Hu Long asked again.

The faceless man did not answer again.

Upon seeing this, Hu Long was speechless.

He detests people who speak in riddles and act pretentious more than anything else in his life, and if he could, he wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

But now the situation is beyond our control.

Hu Long had no choice but to abandon the idea for the time being.

Thinking this, he grabbed it and began to extract its source value.

After obtaining the fox corpse, the faceless man stuffed it into a flat basket at the other end, then found a place to sit down without saying a word.

And so, the carriage fell silent once again.

"Luhe Station has arrived. Passengers who need to get off, please exit through the rear door!"

Speechless all the way.

The announcement rang out again.

The car door opened.

A deserted street was visible outside, with a light drizzle falling from the sky, and a few figures could be seen moving about in the distance.

It looks normal, but it actually reveals a hint of eeriness.

Upon seeing this.

Hu Long didn't pay much attention and immediately stood up.

They got out of the car, and Qi Yun and Qi Xian followed closely behind.

As for the faceless man, Yi Chong, who resembled a peddler, he remained seated without making any move, seemingly not intending to get off the vehicle.

After getting off the car.

The cold night wind, mixed with icy rain, hit my face, instantly invigorating me.

All the eerie figures that had been visible from inside the car had vanished.

That was clearly a misleading statement made by the bus company to its passengers.

The purpose is to prevent passengers from getting off at this station.

The bus started moving again and drove away into the distance.

After driving for several dozen meters, the car disappeared from the three people's sight.

It's as if it never existed.

"Oh, right, there are a few things I need to tell you."

At that moment, Hu Long's voice suddenly came from behind.

Qi Yun and Qi Xian stopped and turned around in confusion.

next second.

They then saw two faint green lights appear deep within Hu Long's eyes.

The light flashed and disappeared in an instant, like an illusion.

But their expressions instantly turned blank.

"After you boarded this bus, you didn't encounter any major danger. Your first stop is—"

Hu Long spoke slowly, his tone calm, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact.

God of War.

This talent allows one to manipulate the mind and influence willpower.

Now, he is trying to go a step further.

For example, by repeatedly emphasizing language, one can modify the memories of two people.

After a while.

Hu Longting said the following.

The two people in front of him remained standing in the same spot, their eyes vacant and their expressions blank.

After a few breaths, the dullness gradually faded, and his eyes refocused and regained their clarity.

They looked at Hu Long with some confusion, as if they knew nothing about what had just happened.

After saying hello and thanking Hu Long again, he turned and left.

in situ.

Hu Long watched the two figures leave, lost in thought.

The test just now proved one thing.

The idea of ​​modifying memories is indeed feasible to some extent.

However, it also has obvious limitations.

Human memory is a wondrous thing.

It appears fixed, but it is actually highly malleable.

Through subtle external emphasis, repetition, and suggestion, memories can subtly shift, and even personality can change accordingly.

There's a more colloquial way to put it.

That is indoctrination and brainwashing.

Let's take the simplest example.

Why are there so many news reports about scams, yet people still fall for them every year?

They don't even believe their parents or lovers, only the words of liars.

To put it bluntly, it's essentially a form of information indoctrination and brainwashing.
