Chapter 157
===================
After learning about the Hewlett family, Alicia looked at Bernie.
"I told Bernie about the puppets in the underground streets."
Next, Lian Yun communicated directly with Bernie.
"A large number of them have awakened their self-awareness, but none of them are as relaxed as you in terms of speaking or acting." Lian Yun cited some examples of black-robed puppets.
"Do you know why?"
Bernie nodded: "Because it is controlled by the underground street."
"Do you remember when I took you to the village and stopped at a distance?"
Lian Yun certainly remembered that his stiff and weird appearance at that time almost made her give up on entering the village.
"The summoner's orders are of the first order. He asks us to serve as servants, to help in the village. The village, as our place of work, is the deepest constraint."
"The summoner gave Alicia and the other villagers the ability to command us, so their orders are a second-level constraint on us."
He was sent to cut down trees in the second level of command, and at the same time stepped out of the constraints of the first level of command.
This was the result of his repeated experiments - as long as they didn't return to the first-level restraint location, they could carry the second-level orders with relatively weaker constraints.
Lian Yun tried to understand: "So you don't want to go near the village because you're afraid they'll add the first-level restrictions to your second-level orders, making it impossible for you to break free?"
Bernie nodded seriously: "You might even lose consciousness."
"If that's really the case," Lian Yun paused, "my plan will be difficult to implement."
"I understand what the adults are thinking." Although Bernie is a puppet, he already has complete self-awareness.
Ever since No. 1685's seemingly intentional or unintentional "reminder" last time, he has vaguely guessed Lian Yun's plan.
Bernie lowered his voice. "You want those puppets to be under the control of the summoner, yet have self-awareness so that you can accomplish your goals."
Lian Yun looked into his dull eyes and could not help but nodded: "Yes."
"That's what I meant to say."
"I went and tried it yesterday. Now I can try to enter that village without affecting my sense of self."
This also shows that the ultimate reason is still the reason that made him conscious - time.
"Back then, like the puppets in the underground mall, I developed consciousness through long-term existence."
But his actions and words were too slow with only initial consciousness. Such a puppet could not really help Lian Yun.
"And now, because I've been out of the first-level restraint circle for a long time, I've also slowly gotten rid of the first-level suppression of my consciousness."
Lian Yun gradually understood what he meant.
I also figured out why Bernie could walk out of the village openly, while they, who were also puppets, had to use black robes to hide their identities in the underground street.
Fortunately, the portal would not identify the puppet's true identity, which also made it easier for them to make subsequent plans.
"So, if I want them to truly be able to work for me, I must first let them master their own bodies," Lian Yun concluded. "And to master their own bodies, they must leave the underground streets."
In every possible way they could think of.
The room was silent, and several people were quietly thinking, what kind of identity could give them the opportunity to go out without being discovered?
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Lanna.
Lanna: ...?
Lian Yun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yi Ke's identity has been exposed, and the Magician Association will definitely not be able to succeed."
The only ones who could continue to cover up for them on a large scale were Lanna and Third Street.
Lanna naturally had no objection: "I think Auntie will be happy to see a group of new helpers."
The next day, the two lords of Buli Lake City and Bubu Town finally connected online.
"...Hello?" Lian Yun tentatively spoke to the twinkling gem.
"Wow! You scared me!...Lian Yun?" A familiar voice came from the other side.
Even though he had met the Lord of Buli Lake City a few days ago, Lian Yun still couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat when he heard this long-lost voice.
It took her a while to recover: "Have you... eaten?"
The Lord of Buli Lake City: "...What time is it? It's almost time for lunch!"
Lian Yun: “Oh…”
"Don't run away from reality, Lian Yun. Tell me, why did you come to see me?"
Lian Yun failed to cover up: "You know."
"How could I not know? I'm so stupid. It would be strange if you listened to me..." The city lord paused, "I don't mean to blame you. Don't think too much."
...Even the comforting tone is exactly the same.
Tears began to well up in Lian Yun's eyes again.
She took a deep breath and said, "Well, I want to start from the inside. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"this……"
"It depends on whether you prefer to suppress your enemies or elevate yourself."
What's the difference?
But Lian Yun didn't ask this question.
She thought about it and decided that the Sun-Moon Cult should have a good image in the city now. At least under her arrangement, everyone knew that the Sun-Moon Cult was an organization that fought violence with violence and was willing to help others.
If you want to suppress the enemy... People living in the main city have almost formed their views on those major forces.
Lian Yun couldn't help but ask: "Can't we have both?"
opposite:"……"
The Lord of Buli Lake City still satisfied the greedy Mou Yun: "Since you have already taken in those puppets, you must grasp them and make good use of their identities."
Lian Yun was alone in the room, nodding seriously where the other party couldn't see: "But I promised them that I would make them die a worthy death."
"Of course, my advice is not to expose them too much - as long as you pace it properly."
Lian Yun: "That doesn't sound easy."
The other side: "...you girl! Do you still want to listen?"
"You say." Lian Yun immediately backed down.
Then, with Lian Yun asking questions from time to time, they happily completed the following discussion.
In short, it is "controlling comments".
Lian Yun's Sun and Moon Sect has now been exposed, and all three forces in the main city know about them.
But it is impossible to touch or grasp it, and the Sun and Moon Sect is still an illusory name. Although their deeds have been spread to everyone, no one has actually seen them.
As an official, the effective method for dealing with opponents who cannot be found guilty is to "control comments".
As for how to "control", it is nothing more than spreading rumors, fabricating false impressions, and vilifying the other party.
"You know a lot." Lian Yun sighed.
"How else do you think I, the city lord, could do so well?" The city lord chuckled and said, "You're still a bit inexperienced."
The methods he mentioned were not only used by himself as an official, but also by those bad organizations in the city, and he had been plotted against them many times.
At this time, it is particularly important to have an experienced comment controller.
He knows how to use tactics and how to counter them.
Lian Yun listened to the other party's enthusiastic talk and took a sip of water. "How about this, I'll recite to you an announcement I made back then. It would be okay if you could imitate me, right?"
"You can learn this slowly, there's no need to rush."
She understood, so she just copied and created a similar format.
Lian Yun was about to nod when he suddenly thought of something.
"City Lord, I seem to have a ready-made candidate."
opposite:"……?"
Ten minutes later, Jinja appeared in the room.
Lana stuffed paper and pen into his hands, forced him to sit down, and looked at Lian Yun in confusion.
Lian Yun patiently introduced: "This is the city lord, come, say hello."
Jin Jia slowly twisted his neck and glanced around roughly, confirming that the city lord Lian Yun mentioned was the... gem in her hand?
"...Hello, City Lord."
"Hey! Hello, child!"
Jinjia's expression froze.
Lian Yun explained again, and after Jin Jia understood the whole story, he slowly relaxed.
Until I heard the other side's voice again: "Jinjia, huh? Your town's reputation depends on you."
Jinjia's eyes lit up, and he straightened up instantly with a full sense of responsibility: "I can do it!"
Facts have proved that professional matters should be done by professionals.
Jinjia was chatting animatedly with the city lord of the gem city, and occasionally offered some "immature" suggestions. After receiving praise and affirmation from the other side, Jinjia began to write even harder.
Lian Yun leaned against the door frame and lowered his voice to Lanna beside him: "I think we found the right person."
Look at how passionate the two are...
Jinjia has begun to worship the Lord of Buli Lake as his teacher.
Lian Yun coughed lightly: "Don't go astray."
Jin Jia turned around and smiled sheepishly, but his enthusiasm didn't diminish. "Let's chat for a while... just a little while! Don't worry, I can write you one... no! Two announcements before noon today. You must trust me!"
Lian Yun couldn't help laughing: "Okay."
Lanna and Lianyun went out to the farmland in the west.
The land that was barren a few months ago is now fully planted. Most of the crops are wheat that is about to mature, and some of them have been cultivated separately. Various vegetables and fruits are crowded together, which is a pleasure to look at.
"Sir! You've arrived just in time!"
Lian Yun turned around and saw that it was indeed Meili.
Mary seems to have taken root in the land, and you can see her whenever you come.
Meili also looked in the direction the two had just stared at, with a happy smile on her face: "In a few days, this batch will also be harvested."
"And she—" Mary raised her arm and pointed at the lotus that divided the farmland into three parts, and the buds had already bloomed.
"She's about to bloom for the second time, too."
Thanks to the growth-promoting effect of the lotus petals last time, the town was able to harvest its first crop so quickly.
"And more!" Mary walked to the side and waved to the two of them enthusiastically.
Lian Yun and Lan Na walked over and saw a tiny, delicate sprout growing on the ground.
"These are the sunflower seeds you gave me yesterday, and they've grown today." Mary pursed her lips and smiled.
"I've heard about its benefits," Merry said. "I'll take good care of it! I hope it can give other crops more room to grow."
