Let them offer their loyalty

The girl looked anxious and ashamed, not knowing how to explain, which was really cute.

Jonas felt amused and wanted to tease the girl on purpose, so he said:

"Do you want to continue? It's only afternoon now, at least no one will come to disturb us before dark."

Hearing this, Iris's cheeks turned even redder, and steam was coming out of her head, as if she was cooked.

"Oh, Mr. Jonas, I'm sorry..."

The girl didn't dare to look Jonas in the eye. She could only lower her head and apologize in a low voice.

——In short, I regret it very much.

Iris herself is not a courageous girl. She behaved like this more because of the instigation of another consciousness... Besides, she was just watching the whole process from a first-person perspective. When this happened, she still had an ostrich mentality... As long as she buried her head, others couldn't see her.

Under the influence of this idea of ​​covering one's ears and stealing the bell, Elise was comforting herself the whole time that this was not her original idea.

But in the end, she was directly exposed by her other self, which made the girl's shame and guilt reach a peak instantly.

——Elise, you are already a bad boy.

A warm touch came from above her head, and a big hand was stroking her head, which made Iris's thoughts pause.

Then, Jonas' voice sounded:

"No need to apologize... This is what I promised Iris. I should be the one to apologize."

Hearing this, Iris waved his hand and said:

"No, no, it's me..."

"Well, there's no right or wrong in this matter. Besides, I'm not at a disadvantage, right?" Jonas interrupted the girl.

Hearing this, Iris pursed her lips, as if she was relieved.

With Jonas' comfort, Iris's uneasiness gradually dissipated.

After a while, she raised her head cautiously and asked:

"So... does what Mr. Jonas just said still count?"

"Uh, what did you just say?" Jonas was stunned.

The girl blushed and stammered, saying:

"That's it. Continue..."

Chapter 342: Afanisi, offer your loyalty!

After a brief moment of tenderness with Iris, Jonas took the sleeping girl back to her residence and covered her with a blanket.

After tossing and turning for a long time, the girl fell asleep contentedly. Jonas walked out of the private apartment. The wind blew from the street, and Jonas felt refreshed for the first time in a long time.

Neither excessive nor superficial, Iris is indeed the best!

After solving Iris's problem, Jonas also did not forget Eiffel who was sent away by the girl.

Sure enough, Miss Eiffel's communications were hacked by Iris, and she mistakenly believed that Jonas had ordered her to deal with matters at the Wetting Group.

If it were before, Elise would never dare to do such a thing...Strictly speaking, this was not done by Elise, but by "another Elise".

Of course, Jonas did not expose Iris's little trick, but pretended that he was the one who issued the order... He came to the Wetting Consortium and checked all the documents, but found that there was nothing she needed to deal with. Miss Eiffel just complained a little. After Jonas sincerely apologized, saying that he had made a mistake, and promised to "compensate" next time, the resentment in Miss Eiffel's heart disappeared.

As time slowly passed, the topic about the Alte Group and the people of Huacheng gradually fermented in District 25.

It was at this point in time that Miss Afanisi, who had been offline for a long time, suddenly found Jonas.

And it brings an intriguing request.

..................................

Time, space, dimension.

What the Xujing Sect believes in is beyond these three.

The origin of psychic power can be traced back to countless epochs ago. This power does not bring about physical changes, but spiritual sublimation, allowing people to obtain material power through the spirit. Psychic power is not so much a kind of energy as it is a medium that floats between reality and the cracks.

“What we believe in is not strength, but hope.”

This is a phrase that Yuxuya often says.

For the believers who believed in her, Yuxuya really was like a savior who guided people away from suffering and destruction. This was also the reason why she was able to lead so many people away from the original Void Realm Religion and develop it far beyond its original scale.

..............................

"She is a deceiver and is very good at hiding her true intentions... Although she has not taken any action now, she will become a threat to us sooner or later."

"So, Mr. Qualified One...I hope you can give me the power to deal with this threat."

Inside the Alte Foundation, Jonas listened to the request from the nun in front of him, seeming to be lost in thought.

If it was something else, he might just trust the other party... After all, the two of them were barely partners, and when their interests were aligned, Afanisi would not deceive himself.

But when it comes to a dispute over "ideas", Jonas has to think about how many conditions are hidden in the other party's words... and what her real purpose is.

Of course, Jonas would not express his doubts directly.

At least in front of Afanasi, he needed to establish an image of complete trustworthiness.

"What you said makes sense... But now, relying on the power of the Alt Foundation, I am afraid I can't solve this hidden danger in a short time."

Hearing this, Afanisi did not feel disappointed. Instead, she felt a little happy, and the uneasiness in her heart was reduced a little.

At least from what he said, the other party was not deceived by the fraudster, and they had the same idea on this matter.

"Regarding this, Sir Qualified One, you don't need to worry. Sir Qualified One just needs to lend me the authority of the Black Ring for a period of time, and I will be able to completely eliminate this hidden danger."

Hearing this, Jonas guessed what the girl in front of him wanted to do.

When I first met Afanisi, she used this ability with the black ring... The power was almost like a space-based weapon. Later, Jonas also tried to develop this ability, but found that it was not the ability given by the black ring, but Afanisi's own ability, but this ability needed the help of the black ring to be realized.

However, Afanisi didn't know that what she said was beyond the scope of others... The authority of the Black Ring, to a large extent, means "personhood". Not to mention that she was able to burst out with the power to threaten Jonas with the help of the Black Ring. If it were someone else, it would be hard not to suspect that Afanisi had other intentions.

If Jonas had not gradually understood Afanisi's character after spending these days together, based on her current words alone, he would have completely labeled her as "having ulterior motives."

But Jonas knew that this girl didn't actually have that many thoughts...she was just simply naive.

From the previous hostility between Afanisi and the Arte Group, and the fact that the girl only thought about rushing in, sprinting, and betting all her belongings on the Alte Group when making decisions, it can be seen that Miss Afanisi is actually a person whose mind is full of "beliefs", and it can even be said that she is paranoid to the point of being a little naive.

Now she says she wants to borrow the black ring, most likely she wants to be a human nuclear bomb and blow up other people's nests.

Jonas felt amused at the thought, but he did not show it on his face. When Afanisi began to wait anxiously, he spoke calmly:

“Well said...but you have to know that the black ring is a symbol of the qualified.

Are you sure you want to 'borrow' some of the Black Ring's authority from me?"

As soon as these words came out, Afanisi's heart skipped a beat, and she realized how transgressive her words were.

This is not only a blasphemy to the identity of the qualified person, but Jonas may also suspect that she has some plans for the identity of the qualified person... or that she is dissatisfied with the other party occupying this position.

Thinking of this, she became anxious and raised her head in panic. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Jonas say:

"I don't mind giving you some authority."

After hearing these words, Afanisi was stunned for a moment, and then she heard the other party continue to speak:

"But I don't want you to be threatened by something like this."

Jonas looked at the nun in front of him:

"You are the 'Saint' chosen by that being, and you are also the fellow traveler who will move forward with me in the future."

"Eusuya's matter is just a branch on the road. I will not be affected by it, and neither will the Void Realm Church... I don't want the future of salvation to go wrong in this way."

"Your existence is much more important than eliminating threats and destroying the so-called false religion."

As Jonas said this, he released some of the Black Ring's aura.

He had been linked to Anis-Edoka's life and had long been imbued with the other's aura, so whenever Afanisi faced him, she would unconsciously have the urge to worship him.

Although she had been relying on reason to suppress this impulse, and kept reminding herself in her heart that the person she should serve was Lord Anis-Edoka, not the man in front of her, but as time went by, imperceptibly, even though she was unwilling, Afanisi gradually accepted Jonas's identity as her "boss".

And what the other party said now directly hit the girl's sensitive points.

——We are like-minded.

And your presence is far more important than eliminating so-called "threats".

Because of Jonas' words, Afanasii, who thought she was abandoned by Him, fell into confusion for a long time... This uneasy feeling of being abandoned by faith is enough to drive any fanatic crazy.

Of course, unlike other believers, Miss Afanasi's faith was quite firm, so Jonas' words did not completely shake her, but only left a seed in her heart.

This seed of unrest is buried deep underground and has not sprouted, but it has the potential to subvert the entire edifice of faith.

Now, Jonas' words made Afanisi feel a sense of belonging again, just like nutrients that catalyze the germination of seeds, which ripened and sprouted the seeds of anxiety, and continued to cling to the olive branch thrown by Jonas and grow wildly.

Her heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, and Jonas's image seemed to be covered with a layer of glory in her eyes. She pursed her lips slightly and said:

"I understand, Lord Jonas..."

The girl shouted "Lord Jonas" sincerely, and perhaps she herself did not expect that her mentality had undergone a drastic change at this moment.

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to want to say something but didn't know how to start and had to lower her head, lost in self-admiration, Jonas smiled slightly.

——Closing the net!

This wave is estimated to increase loyalty by 30%?

Afanasi? Take it!

........................................

After Afanisi left, Jonas leaned back in his chair and called out to the Black Ring in his mind.

Black waves spread out around him. He recalled the last time he took the initiative to communicate with Anis Erdoka in the virtual world. The black rings around him continued to shrink and expand.

As the surrounding scenery gradually became blurred and fluctuating, Jonas once again came to the broken starry sky.

Just like last time, just as the white-haired little girl was about to climb onto the throne, Jonas appeared and saw this scene.

Noticing the gaze from behind, the little girl turned around and said as if nothing had happened:

"Contractor...see you again."

The little girl's voice was ethereal and no emotion could be heard.

But Jonas felt ashamed and embarrassed by these words. He suppressed his smile and said:

"Dear Anis Erdoka, I am glad to see you again."

"What's the matter, Contractor?"

At this time, the little girl gradually turned around and stood in front of Jonas, but her petite body could not support any dignity.

Ever since the last "life link" with Jonas, Anis-Edoka started calling him "the contractor".

It sounds like a name from some pre-era otaku light novels, but it doesn't sound out of place when she says it.

Jonas did not dwell on this. He just sorted out his thoughts and then said:

"Respected Anis Edoka, I hope to learn something from you."

After he finished speaking, he told Celine about being possessed by a dream and some things about Euxuya.

After Anis Edoka listened silently, he spoke:

"Dream linking is a very common method of using psychic energy... For us, there is no limit to the use of this method, but for 'humans', this technique has certain limitations. Only people with special physiques can use this method."

Hearing this, Jonas felt a little strange.

"We... does that mean that I can use this method now?"

The white-haired little girl didn't answer when she heard this, but just walked silently to Jonas and looked at him.

Jonas was stunned for a moment before he realized what the other party wanted to do and squatted down.

The little girl nodded with satisfaction, then stood on tiptoe and tapped him on the head.

A large amount of memories and information poured into Jonas' mind. Almost in an instant, Jonas knew how to use the so-called "dream link".

He did not have the splitting headache he felt when a peerless master taught him skills in novels. It was like he suddenly remembered a skill he had forgotten for a long time. This feeling was somewhat strange, and Jonas gradually understood what Anis Erdoka meant by "we".

Strictly speaking, Jonas is no longer a human being, otherwise he would not be able to use such means.
