Chapter 2317 The Truth

"The Witch's Confession has been activated."

Looking at this light shield, everyone felt it. Apart from the mysterious aura that enveloped them everywhere, they felt nothing else.

At least, they don't currently feel the urge to tell the truth.

Parishanya and Mauye Groot also looked around suspiciously, not knowing what the situation was now.

Rhine smiled lightly: "Maybe you still have doubts, so let me give you an example."

After Rhine finished speaking, his eyes roamed over everyone, and finally he fixed on Angel.

Angel felt a little chilled by Rhine's gaze. He was about to say something to relieve his discomfort. At this moment, Rhine suddenly said: "Angel, what is your favorite food?"

As soon as the question was finished, the standing priest in the statue shimmered slightly. Not long after the dim light, the witch kneeling on the ground also had a cunning look in her eyes.

At the same time, under the attention of everyone, Angel said: "Milk, yes, my favorite food is milk. I really want to calmly spit out this food addiction buried in my heart that I don't want to reveal, but My curled up toes hidden in my socks were all signs of my inner embarrassment and uneasiness.”

After finishing speaking, before Angel could think about it, everyone was silently saying: "..."

A few seconds later, Angel's throat moved, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Huh??? That's all, what the hell is this long paragraph at the end?"

After the question ended, fluctuations flashed across the priest and the witch again.

Then Angel spoke again: "Nothing wrong. In fact, what I said about 'that's all in the front' is not true. I just wanted to divert everyone's attention, so I focused my words on The last sentence, so that people will not pay attention to my food addiction is milk. I am really a clever little guy, and people will definitely not find out about such secretive words, hehehe."

Everyone: "..." This is really secretive, hehehehe.

Angel is also hehehe...hey, what a fart! He felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his tall and proud figure became a little unsteady, and he took several steps back.

"That was..." Angel originally wanted to say something, but remembering that the valve in his mouth could not be closed before, he closed his mouth, turned his shyness into anger, and looked at the statue fiercely.

At this time, the statue was a little different from before.

The priest became more holy and solemn, but the kneeling witch was a little less pious and a little more cunning.

Angel looked in the direction of Rhine and asked with his eyes: Why is this, why do I say everything I think.

Rhine wanted to say something, but when he saw Angel holding his breath and not daring to say a word, with a look of feigned anger and questioning, and then thinking about Angel's previous psychological activities that were filled with a sense of violation, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. out.

Looking at Rhine's performance, Angel silently turned his attention to Sanders.

Sanders didn't smile, he just glanced at Angel lightly, then turned to the other side, and shrugged his shoulders a few times where Angel couldn't see him.

At that time, Dangros climbed onto Angel's shoulder, leaned into his ear, and whispered in a comforting tone: "Although I don't know what milk is, I will not laugh at Mr. Pat."

Angel's voice came out from between his teeth: "Your silence is the best comfort to me."

After finishing speaking, Angel lowered his head with full shame and no longer wanted to see other people's reactions. Anyway, Rhine would explain why this situation happened.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little joyful because of Angel's experience, but then there was some awkward embarrassment.

After laughing, Rhine finally found his normal voice, coughed twice and said: "Everyone has seen the effect. This 'Witch's Confession' can make people say the truth. But it has a little side effects. That is to say, the psychological activities will also be mentioned. ”

Angel silently complained in his heart: This is no longer a side effect, this is even worse than telling the truth!

Although Angel was extremely ashamed and angry about this, when he calmed down and tasted it carefully, he realized that this so-called "side effect" was the real essence of this mysterious thing.

Because the truth is never absolute.

Just like a contract on the surface, there are also various loopholes that can be exploited. This is why there are precedents of many contracts lasting for thousands of years and changing countless versions.

The same goes for telling the truth. It seems to be telling the truth, but there are loopholes.

For example, when someone asks you something, you tell half the truth, but hide the other, more important half of the truth in your mind. Then you use other truths to guide the other person's thinking, which will allow the other person to make up a paragraph in his or her own mind. A self-righteous plot, but such plots are often false.

The imagining is your own imagining, and what the other party says is also true, but the final result is not satisfactory.

Therefore, the truth can also have various loopholes to exploit.

The mysterious thing called Confession of the Witch not only allows you to tell the truth, but also reveals your inner words, psychological activities, and hidden thoughts.

This is not a "side effect", but the greatest guarantee that the truth is true.

However, for people who think too much, it is best not to use it, as it is easy to lose your temper. For example, Angel.

After learning the specific function of the mysterious object, it explained Angel's previous doubts as to why Rhine would emphasize the effect of this mysterious object as "a truth with almost no loopholes to exploit." This is indeed the case.

Angel had looked down on it before, thinking that with the existence of "Truth Word", the effect of this mysterious thing would be a bit useless.

But now it seems that it does have value, and its effect is much higher than that of Power Word. After all, Power Word also applies to all sorts of flawed so-called "truths."

After listening to Lain's story, Parishanya couldn't help but sigh: "It's so amazing. Is this a mysterious thing?"

As soon as Parishanya finished speaking, the statue moved again.

Immediately afterwards, Parishanya opened his mouth without realizing it: "Yes, this is a mysterious thing. By the way, in front of these powerful human wizards, do I want to show off my oral habit? Let's show it off. , After all, unique images can be created through oral habits, which is what Mr. Feng said in the script "The Clown's Monologue".

As soon as Parishanya finished speaking, his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "I just..."

Originally, Parishanya wanted to say: What on earth did I just say? !

But thinking that the witch's confession was still being activated, it quickly stopped, fearing that it would expose its inner thoughts again.

However, Parishanya thought he could stop the loss in time, but he did not expect that other accidents would happen at the scene.

Dangelos, who was clinging to Angel's cloak, slowly stretched out half of his palm and looked at Parishanya curiously: "So your 'laughing' laughter is just a habit? You yourself Isn’t that how you laugh?”

As soon as the question was finished, the priest lowered his head in silence, and the witch smiled slyly.

Parishanya: "Of course it's a mouth habit. How can real laughter make such a strange sound? Only a strange mouth habit can attract attention!"

With a sad look on his face, Parishanya covered his mouth with a branch, stared at Dangros with his wooden-lined eyes, and signaled it with his eyes: Don't ask, don't ask anymore!

However, Dangros obviously did not receive his signal and asked himself: "So, do you want to attract attention?"

Parishanya: "Yes, especially to attract the attention of Lord Namitsui! However, you already know my oral habits, should I modify it? 'Lulu Lulu' feels good, and it matches Lord Namitsui's hissing." The sound should match well."

Everyone: "..." Nami Cui's hissing sound is because of the sound of it spitting out letters. This is not a mouth habit!

Dangros: "I think Lulu Lulu is a bit..."

Before Dangros finished speaking, he saw a strange force field coming over him. He wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth because of this force field.

It was Rhine who released the force field. He smiled slightly: "The effect of the silent force field is to silence. I think if you continue to ask questions, it is likely to hurt feelings, so it is best not to speak for the time being."

If it were before, everyone would definitely not take it seriously. But now Rhine's release of the silent force field is what everyone wants.

Even Groot, who seemed quite calm and intelligent, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now it was holding its breath hard, not daring to say a single word for fear of exposing some hidden activities in its heart. Now that there is a silent force field and forced silence, he has finally recovered.

The air was quiet, and even the sound of wind and the rustling of sand and dust were absorbed by the silent force field. In this wilderness, the only sounds that existed were Rhine's breathing and his voice.

"I haven't finished speaking just now. It won't be too late for us to talk again after I finish explaining the rules of 'Witch's Confession'."

Everyone nodded.

Rhine smiled and continued: "The first rule, as I have said before, the witch's confession will ask you to tell the truth, and at the same time, you will also tell the psychological activities when speaking. This can avoid the truth to the greatest extent. The loopholes in words. Even if you know the mechanism, it is difficult to circumvent it.”

When Rhine said this, he turned to look at Angel: "Angel, what is your favorite food?"

When the statue began to glow, the silent force field around Angel was instantly lifted.

Angel blurted out again: "Milk. My heart is silent, dark...empty...nothing."

Angel looked confused: "..." Why are you taking me as an example again? !

Rhine turned to look at everyone: "You see it. After Angel learned about the effect of this mysterious thing, he actively adjusted his mental activities. It seemed like he was avoiding his own mental activities. But if you think about it carefully, this Avoidance will actually make people more suspicious and less trustworthy.”

Immediately afterwards, Rhine said: "The second rule is the triggering rule. Although I have been talking, it did not trigger the witch's confession. The reason is very simple. I believe you have guessed it."

"Yes, only questions can trigger the witch's confession."

Although Rhine was talking from beginning to end, he did not ask any questions. This was the fundamental reason why he didn't trigger the mysterious thing.

"Questions are also divided into different situations. When asking questions, there is a target to whom the question is directed, so the person being asked will speak. Just like just now, I asked Angel a question, and Angel answered; Dangros asked Parishanya a question , Parishanya replied.

"When asking a question, if there is no one to ask the question, then the question is transformed into a self-question. Since it is a self-question, it must be a self-answer."

"Angel and Palisania both triggered this mechanism, which is that the questions have no target, so they turned to self-questioning and self-answering."

Everyone had experienced this rule of questioning before, and it was easy to understand.

After understanding this rule, everyone silently said in their hearts: Once the witch's confession is activated, you must never ask questions without a target... Otherwise, the end of self-questioning and self-answering is self-harm.

Rhine: "The third rule is probably the one you are most concerned about."

"How can you not answer the question?"

As soon as the question was asked, the statue emitted bursts of light.

But Rhine, who asked this question, smiled and said nothing. Obviously, the mysterious thing has been activated, but he didn't say a word.

While everyone was confused, Rhine revealed the secret of this rule: "When you are extremely resistant to this question, you will not answer it... Of course, you still cannot lie, but you will remain silent."

"At the same time, once the question involves extremely important private issues, the subconscious of the person being asked shows extreme resistance, and he can also resist."

"Like this."

Rhine said this, obviously intending to give an example. His eyes swept over everyone and finally stopped at Angel.

Angel's eyes widened and shook his head with resistance: No!

Rhine seemed to have received Angel's resistance message, and his eyes slightly deviated to look at Angel's side: "Lobel's tail, how do you evaluate your main and deputy heads?"

Everyone looked at Lobel's tail, including the main and deputy heads.

However, although it was an unprepared and sudden question, Lobel did not blurt out the answer like the others before, but remained silent.

Obviously, Lobel's tail subconsciously resisted this question.

Rhine: "See? This is the situation. When your subjective consciousness resists answering, or your subconscious mind resists answering, then it will not take effect."

The reason why Angel and Palisanya answered whatever they asked just now was mainly because they did not know about this rule at the time, and therefore did not resist subjective consciousness.

Although the question "Angel's favorite food milk" made Angel a little embarrassed, it was not so private that even his subconscious mind resisted answering. Therefore, there was a situation where one question was correct.

Rhine: "Okay, these are the three rules of witch's confession."

...

The three rules created the witch's confession.

The most worth mentioning is the third rule. Without this rule, the witch's confession would be countless times more powerful.

Because you can find out the deepest secrets hidden in others' hearts through questioning, even if it is private, you can get them all. This is a very terrifying effect.

Unfortunately, with the restrictions of the rules, even if it is a surprise question, as long as the subconscious mind resists answering, you still can't get the answer.

This caused the effect to drop by 90%.

However, although the third rule limits the effect, it makes the witch's confession the best mysterious object for "sincerity", "mutual trust" and "contract".

When the witch's confession is turned on, you either answer the truth or remain silent, and you will not exploit the loopholes of the truth, which can allow the two parties to be honest with each other and understand each other's bottom line.

In general, perhaps the witch's confession is not a particularly powerful mysterious object, but it has a special applicable scene.

At this time, it is used in the tidal world to increase the basis of mutual trust between the two parties, which is definitely the most suitable mysterious object.

It can also be seen from this that Rhine came to the tidal world this time with great sincerity.
