Chapter 38 Cognitive Modifier Writer's Edition "Dreaming doesn't feel...
Under the absolute advantage, the ugly face of the dean was completely exposed.
The emotions in her body were still restless, causing Cecia to have a slight headache. Wang Jianguo was still hanging around in front of her without knowing whether to live or die, which made her even more upset.
"Shut up."
She took out the axe again and put it on the man's neck.
"Which do you think came faster, them or the axe?"
His life was threatened again, and Wang Jianguo's eyes were filled with hatred that looked like pus could drip out, but he did not resist, but chose to endure it.
Just wait, it will be your turn to beg for mercy soon...
With a flash of fanaticism in his eyes, he stared at the flames in the center of the magic circle, looking forward to their arrival.
Without external interference, Cecia ignored her restless emotions, took out the last "Match of Hope" from the system, and lit it with the flame of the magic circle.
In the firelight, a strange-looking box emerged. It was completely black, but had wooden textures on it. Two rows of sharp teeth were carved on the opening, making it look lifelike.
[Item Name: Cognitive Modifier Writer Edition]
[To meet someone's expectations, White Company has launched the latest cognitive modifier. Compared with previous products, it can affect a wider range and can even modify the cognition of the entire world. ]
[Users need to prepare a reasonable and wonderful story and put it into the opening. It will automatically determine whether the story meets the requirements and use this as a benchmark to modify the cognition (unqualified stories will be rejected). ]
[Note: Since it is a special item created under the influence of the "Match of Hope", it can only exist for a maximum of five minutes. Please use it quickly.]
After confirming that the generated items were as expected, Cecilia took out a dozen books revised by the writer from her backpack and fed them into the box one by one.
The first one, the opening of the box opened and closed repeatedly, and judging by the shape of the sharp teeth, it looked like it was chewing the book.
But after a few seconds, it spit it out, and the dean was covered with confetti.
There was some unknown mucus mixed in with the paper scraps, all stuck to his carefully selected expensive suit, like the vomit of some creature.
Looking at Cecia with an innocent face, he tried to calm down his anger and moved to the side.
The second book, the box spit out again, and hit the dean accurately again.
Wang Jianguo was sprayed all over his head and face. He just opened his mouth to say something, but the third book of vomit hit him.
vomit--
The paper scraps mixed with the sticky liquid rushed into his throat, forcing him to retch continuously.
"You like this? Why didn't you say so earlier? You wasted two bites."
Cecilia fed the fourth book into the box while making sarcastic remarks.
Wang Jianguo couldn't bear it any longer.
He wanted to curse, but when he saw that Xia Zi was chewing, he stopped himself from opening his mouth and ran behind Feng Zi in panic.
Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, he squatted down and completely retracted his body to ensure that Feng Zi could block all the "attacks".
The imagined shouting sound never came, and hesitantly leaned over to look, only to find that the box had swallowed the fourth book without spilling a single piece of paper.
And Feng Zi looked at him as if he was a madman.
"No, it wasn't like this just now..."
Wang Jianguo tried to explain, but all his explanations seemed so pale and powerless. He walked out from behind him awkwardly and took over the fragments of the fifth book.
"Sorry for the wait."
Seeing that he was covered in mucus and paper scraps from head to toe, Cecia nodded at him and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, this stuff is large and will keep you full."
"Don't overdo things."
His eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake ready to strike.
"See? That's the countdown to your death."
Following his direction, the smoke in the center of the magic circle slowly dissipated, and their illusory figures gradually appeared.
"Them! They finally showed up! I can see them! They're coming to get me!"
Feng Zi was extremely excited as he was about to see them. He couldn't control himself and rushed to the center of the magic circle, like a child who had been away from home for a long time running into his mother's arms.
Seeing Cecilia sweating profusely but still feeding the box, Wang Jianguo sneered.
"it's useless."
"Have you noticed something wrong with your body? Soon, you will become a shriveled corpse."
When Feng Zi ran to the center of the magic circle, their figures had already been fully revealed. At the same time, Cecia fed all the books into the box.
“Isn’t this…not right?”
Wang Jianguo always paid attention to their movements and discovered the problem at the first moment.
In his eyes, they looked like green caterpillars wearing the costumes of Western dancers, twisting their bodies to perform a dance.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at the horses with colorful paint on their bodies and chimneys on their heads, Cecia chuckled. She didn't expect them to become so funny.
Before that, she specifically found Feng Zi and asked him to take her to the skin repair shop just to ask the owner two questions.
The first question: Can they be killed?
Answer: Yes
Second question: Do everyone see them the same way?
Answer: No
Combining the known information, she speculated that "their" appearance came from the fear in people's hearts.
The reason why everyone fears or worships them is because their appearance changes according to people's inner thoughts, and humans can only see what they want people to see.
Even if Wilbert modified the magic circle circuit, it would only reverse the flow of emotions and transfer the emotions in their bodies to the sacrifice, which would only weaken them temporarily.
Most humans still have fear of them, and this fear continues to fuel their power.
To do this, she tapped into her abilities as a writer.
Among the books modified by the writer, four met the requirements of the cognitive modifier. The moment they appeared, the modifier also completed the analysis and implanted their ridiculous deaths in the books into the memory of all mankind.
At this point, in the eyes of humans, their image has successfully transformed from "the most terrifying thing" to "the funniest thing".
The weird colorful chimney horse in Cecia's eyes was also influenced by the "colorful unicorn" painted by Feng Zi.
Their hilarious images caused the audience to be silent for a moment, followed by complete carnival.
"What is that thing on the stage? It looks so funny, doesn't it?"
“Why are there French fries wearing tutus?”
"Is this a funny show specially arranged to celebrate your discharge from the hospital?"
“…”
The mentally ill patients in the audience were discussing noisily. Their logic was clear and their spirits were high, as if they had all returned to normal.
“Are they… originally like this?”
"Can this thing really make my wish come true?"
"What are all the efforts I made for them before?"
“…”
The doctors were in a state of emotional collapse. They couldn't believe that the "God" they had always revered and fought for was like this.
"No...it shouldn't be like this! Why didn't you die? Why did they become like this?!"
Seeing that his plan failed, Wang Jianguo shouted almost crazily.
"It's fake! All this is fake! I must still be dreaming..."
"Dream?"
Cecia raised her eyebrows, the abundant emotions in her body eager to be released. She swung the axe and hit the opponent's right arm.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah!”
A scream pierced his eardrums, and Wang Jianguo covered his injured arm, blood spurting out. In the severe pain, even his face became distorted.
"Does it hurt?"
Cecia deliberately lowered her voice, a teasing smile on her lips.
“Dreaming doesn’t hurt.”
Veins popped out on his forehead, and beads of sweat mixed with tears slid down his cheeks. He stared at Cecia with hatred, but he had no ability to resist, and his only support was that look...
That’s right! There is still hope… there is still time!
Covering his arm with his left hand, Wang Jianguo gritted his teeth, held on to his body, and staggered to Feng Zi's side.
"Don't you love them? Now's your chance to prove yourself!"
He roared loudly, and his originally well-fitting suit was stained with blood and mucus. He looked extremely disheveled, like a homeless vagrant.
"Hurry! They are at their lowest point in pain! It's time for you to sacrifice yourself! You can save them!"
“But…but…”
Feng Zi shrank his neck timidly, without any trace of the madness he had just shown.
He had been stunned as soon as they appeared.
In his eyes, they were humans with deformed faces, wearing exaggerated and bright colors, like clowns in a circus.
His mind was extremely confused, but there was a voice in his heart that kept shouting: These are not them!
"But what? Is your love also fake?"
Wang Jianguo said this angrily.
If they can't recover their strength, then his mission will fail! He doesn't want to die here!
"Damn it! Coward!"
He cursed at the same time, but his hands were decisive in their movements. He slammed into Feng Zi and pushed him into his arms.
"Eat it! Take his emotions quickly!"
Seeing that they caught Feng Zi, Wang Jianguo shouted excitedly.
"Suck all their emotions away and turn them into mummies!"
In an instant, more than a dozen vines wrapped around Feng Zi's body, and his originally plump body became withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She didn't care about Feng Zi's life or death, but she couldn't let them regain their strength...
Putting aside her attitude of watching the show, Cecia walked towards the center of the magic circle swinging an axe.
?What's this?
As she was about to reach them, she was blocked by a transparent barrier.
The thing was extremely hard, and even after several hits with the axe, not even a crack appeared.
"Okay! Great! Let's eat that woman first!"
Inside the barrier, Feng Zi was already lifeless and was thrown to the ground, while Wang Jianguo, with bloodshot eyes, directed their next move.
But they didn't even look at Cecia, instead they used their vines to wrap up Wang Jianguo.
"No, why are you arresting me? You've arrested the wrong person!"
He struggled violently in the air, trying to break free from their grasp, but the vines wrapped him tightly and resistance was of no use.
Feeling the emotions in his body gradually draining away, he panicked and even began to ask Cecia for help.
"Friend! This friend! Save me! It was all my fault before! I was bewitched by Feng Zi, and he was the one who wanted to deal with you! You know! I am also a player, we are the same kind of people!"
