Chapter 361 Location
Nantivian, Episcopal Square.
The New Year's Eve celebration was still going on, and the party was still going on in the cold wind. After a short break, Tivian's Ruby and the dancing star Adele appeared on stage again, triggering another cheer from the crowd below, pushing the atmosphere of the party to another climax.
Adele, who took the stage for the second time, took off her bright red clothes and put on a pure white dance dress, bringing a completely different performance to the audience. According to the passionate announcement of the host, her dance this time was called "Ode to Life", and the form of the dance was just as its name suggests, a dance praising life.
"Haha... Isa, look, Adele's dance is so interesting. Although there are no lines or dialogues, I can tell what she wants to express just by her dance moves. From stillness to movement, from budding to blooming, I think this dance is like telling the story of a sapling that grows into a towering tree after weathering wind and rain... What do you think?"
On the balcony, Duke Barrett watched Adele's dance below and said with a smile while appreciating it. Princess Isabel beside him nodded and responded gently.
"I agree with what you said, Uncle Barrett. I have heard many critics say that Miss Adele is famous for her unique storytelling. Most of the dances she dances contain unique story content. Each of her movements not only has the performance meaning of the dance, but also the language of the story. When she dances, it is like performing a drama, a drama without any lines.
"Miss Adele uses body language to accurately express her meaning, but her dance is more entertaining than ordinary pantomimes. She is the only one in the entire dance world who can do this, so she is a true treasure of our kingdom."
Isabel commented in a gentle tone. After hearing her comment, Barrett at the side also continued to speak with a smile.
"Hmm... not bad. It seems that you have good self-cultivation in this aspect, Issa. The dramatic dance is Adele's specialty, and it is the capital that makes her praised by even the most discerning critics. Other dancers who want to imitate her dance style usually focus too much on the visual performance of the dance, making it difficult for people to understand the meaning of the story, or they focus too much on the performance of the story and ignore the beauty of the dance itself, turning the dance into an ordinary pantomime. Only Adele can achieve a perfect balance in this.
"This time her dance is called 'Ode to Life'. She performed a dance that praises life and prosperity in her new year. It must be a blessing to her new year. It looks like she has prepared a lot for this party. I feel happier after watching this dance, haha..."
Barrett commented like this, and Isabel on the side couldn't help but smile and nod in agreement. What Barrett said was right. The dance that Adele was dancing at this moment really made all the audience present feel a little happy. Even the workers who lived in extreme hardship had a little positive imagination about the new future after watching this dance. Those suicide bombers who were hidden in the crowd and were driven to the edge of the cliff by the revenge mentality were awakened by this dance. The desire for life made them give up the task of suicide revenge.
Using the desire for sex to make the flesh bombs give up their mission is the countermeasure discussed by Dorothy and Adele. Although Adele has the ability to sense the most urgent desire of creatures in the surrounding environment, this ability cannot allow Adele to find the flesh bombs among the crowd.
The first reason was that there were too many people at the scene, and she couldn't analyze so many desires in a short period of time. The second reason was that her active detection might be blocked by the extraordinary props of "Shadow".
Yes, Adele's main desire detection may be blocked by the "shadow". Her desire detection is divided into two types, active and passive. The active type is to actively sense the current desire of a life form and what it wants to do. Just like in the Coal Ash District Police Station, Adele used the active desire detection to detect the desire of the director and knew that he was eager to communicate with his superiors.
Active desire detection is a kind of extraordinary detection. It is roughly the same as spiritual perception and "light" detection. It is the ability to use one's own extraordinary ability to actively perceive other targets. It is to actively apply one's own detection ability to others. As long as it is this type of ability, the general "shadow" props can block it.
Passive desire detection is different. It is the ability to sense other people's desire for oneself. Adele can sense other people's desire for herself, whether it is sex or murder. She will be wary of and pay attention to the dangerous and strong ones. This is why the Wolf Blood Society needed to use meat puppets to assassinate Adele, just to prevent Adele's murderous detection.
This passive desire detection is mainly to feel the desires that others project onto oneself, not to actively exert any ability on others, so it will not be detected by the extraordinary items of "Shadow". Because ordinary "Shadow" props only shield the extraordinary effects that irradiate the carrier, and cannot take into account the shielding of the information that the carrier itself emits to me, such as the carrier's own smell, such as the carrier's desire for others.
Those flesh bombs were made by the people of the Eight-Pointed Nest who tricked the natives into coming here. It was normal for them to have some "shadow" shielding props on them to be on the safe side. So if Adele used active desire detection to find people, she might spend a lot of effort but find nothing. So under Dorothy's suggestion, Adele did not use this method to find people, but used the method of guiding sexual desire.
All creatures have the desire for sex, even those flesh bombs who are driven to the edge of the cliff by the desire for revenge. The more they realize that they are about to die, the stronger their desire for sex will be. However, in the flesh bombs' hearts, this desire for sex is suppressed by the even stronger belief in revenge.
But this suppression is very fragile. Adele only needs to slightly guide this fragile balance and it will be broken. After the desire for revenge easily overcomes the desire for revenge, they will give up the mission.
Adele's guidance is very subtle, so subtle that normal people can hardly feel it, but for the sexy girls who are walking on a psychological tightrope, it is enough to cause an imbalance.
On the stage, Adele continued to dance. From time to time, she would glance at the audience below in between dances, and her expression showed a trace of worry from time to time. She only breathed a sigh of relief when a voice came from her heart.
"Great Aka, please tell Adele that the three suicide bombers in the audience have abandoned their mission and left on their own. The audience is now safe, and we can start the next step."
After hearing Dorothy's voice in her heart, Adele finally let go of her worries, and at the same time she couldn't help but think about it.
"I never thought that the god Akka worshipped by the Rosicrucian Society could actually help believers to communicate prayers... What a wonderful ability! I have never heard of such an ability in other societies. This should be a passive prayer acceptance ability of this Akka..."
Adele thought so. When she was dancing with Dorothy before, she asked Dorothy to remove her mental protection for a period of time so that they could communicate. Adele also did so. Now Dorothy can contact Adele through the information channel without any obstacles.
'It seems that the crazy people in the audience have calmed down. The next step is to find out who drove them crazy. Those spider perverts actually came up with such a crazy plan in a place like this.'
Adele continued to think in her heart that Dorothy had already detected clearly before that the Eight-pointed Nests were the masterminds behind this action. They instigated these natives to take risks in Tivian, and they obviously had ulterior motives.
In Dorothy's opinion, the Eight-Pointed Nest had absolutely no motive to carry out a purely terrorist attack against civilians, so they must have attracted Saduo's group of New World natives here to do these things to cover up their real purpose. If she wanted to know what they were doing, she must first find out all the people they had arranged at the scene.
However, it would not be easy to find the members of the Eight-Pointed Nest among so many people. As Beyonders of "Shadow", they were naturally able to shield their Beyonder abilities, could disguise themselves, and could easily transform into any form. They were not forced to become flesh bombs, and their emotions would not be as unstable as those flesh bombs... Finding them would be much more troublesome than finding flesh bombs.
But even so, Dorothy and Adele still worked out a plan to find someone, which still required the use of Adele's abilities.
