Chapter 40: Insect Control is a Discipline
"It has too few spirits in its body that can be used for communication, so we need to use our eyes and heart to observe it, observe its strengths and habits, and not just blindly judge it based on its appearance."
It was approaching midnight and the sky outside the wooden house by the sea was already pitch black, but there were still many people sitting in the hall inside the house.
They were either standing, squatting, or simply sitting on the ground, looking intently at the black-haired boy sitting at the wooden table.
Everyone was concentrating, each holding a note, as if all the good students in the class had gathered here.
"The round-horned sandworm is very similar to a species of worm I've seen before, called a centipede."
"They may look scary, but they are not."
Andy said, raising the back of his hand into the air, level with everyone's eye level.
A wizard had cast a light spell in the room, and in the bright environment, one could clearly see that on the back of his hand, there was a light yellow insect with densely packed legs.
When viewed from a normal angle, this long-shaped insect looks terrifying and looks like a disgusting centipede, making everyone who sees it want to step on it to death.
However, when people looked at the insect straight on and saw its face clearly, they saw a silly face that was somewhat similar to a grasshopper.
It can’t be said to be cute, but it’s definitely not scary either.
"They are good at hiding and like to burrow. Why is that? Because they are timid, shy and very afraid of people."
"At the same time, they are also very smart. They know where to hide so that we humans can't find them. They also know that humans are life forms they can't fight against, so most of them will run away immediately after seeing people."
"Everyone thinks they are pests, but how many times have you heard of these pests biting people or causing trouble for people?"
"On the other hand, if you observe their diet, you will find that they only prey on pests..."
Andy continued speaking.
From time to time, people around him nodded in agreement.
This is not only because what he said makes sense, but also because they have heard a lot of knowledge from Andy before.
Knowledge limited to communication with spirits was originally considered the most basic and lowest level ability in people's cognition.
But now, no one would think so anymore.
Simple spirit communication can only be performed in close proximity, but when someone transforms this ability so that it can be used remotely, its effect will be very different!
Spirit communication is mainly used to communicate with animals and plants.
But many animals and plants themselves are extremely dangerous, and only people who don't care about their lives would go so far as to communicate with them in close proximity.
Using it remotely can solve this problem - although some high-level psychics have mastered similar techniques.
However, the acquisition and learning conditions of advanced abilities are countless times more difficult than those of low-level abilities such as communicating with spirits.
Of course, the current remote control can only be considered half-function. It can send information but cannot transmit information back.
But what’s more important is the “music score”! Andy seemed to have solved an insect infestation by blowing a conch shell, but the principle behind it made the onlookers more and more excited.
If you simply observe an individual, you can create a "music score" that controls the population to which that individual belongs.
So why should we focus on the round-horned sandworm, which is a special but very low-level insect? The corpse-eating insects that are found all over the world, the ghost insects that live in the North and South Poles, the Khorne insects in the rainforests, the devil insects that are unique to Northern Europe...
There are so many insects that make the extraordinary people shudder and tremble in fear. What effect would it have if they could be controlled? Moreover, what about other species besides insects? Those flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, crawling under the soil, running on land, and even outside the atmosphere...
There are too many. If it can really be extended and expanded, then the low-level ability of spirit communication can no longer be considered an ability.
It is a subject! A subject that countless extraordinary people can spend their entire lives studying! Of course, no one really thinks that this ability can have such terrifying potential.
After all, there are no other examples to refer to except the round-horned sandworm.
But this direction is vaguely there!
If they could really tap into more powerful areas of application for the ability of spirit communication, then why would they be limited to this small desert country? They would surely become famous in Africa and even on the world stage! This would be a great adventure for them who had suffered humiliation and hiding days due to the suppression of the royal family! But the prerequisite for this adventure was to understand the arrangement process and key points of insect control clearly...
In this regard, Andy did not hide anything, but instead revealed the trick.
Those who could listen to the show from day to midnight were basically experienced and knowledgeable people who could see the boy's thoughts clearly without hiding anything.
So after he finished speaking everything and answered some questions, there was an immediate burst of warm applause from the audience!
If Sister Lily were here, she would definitely find that the way these people, who had completely different views of Andy during the day, looked at Andy had changed again.
Becoming somewhat similar to her.
Reverence, respect, and even love! Be like a lighthouse, lighting the way for all those who cannot navigate at night.
Someone once said these words, which invisibly became the best annotation of Andy's behavior at this time.
…
“Some of his actions are really unexpected.”
In the office, the black deputy mayor witnessed everything in the wooden house through the crystal ball, which made him sigh.
"Unfortunately, if this kind of innovative genius doesn't have a background, most of them won't have a good ending..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Plagiarism, forgery, and usurpation of other people's research results are not uncommon in the extraordinary world.
These shameless acts are often accompanied by the original authors without any background being suppressed, driven away, or even murdered.
The more amazing their achievements are, the more severe the suppression they may endure. If they are lucky, they may only be stripped of their status as the first author, but if they are unlucky, they will disappear silently from the public eye.
Of course, this is not absolute, but the corresponding risks are common.
"The world is like this, there is nothing to say."
Matthew, dressed in a black priest's uniform, was sitting opposite the desk, staring at Andy in the crystal ball without blinking.
He said, "But no matter what, the more amazing potential he shows, the greater the benefit to us."
"Of course, Andy is one of ours after all."
The deputy mayor, who was holding an old pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Now it seems that your decision to force this child to join the organization was absolutely correct."
"Looking at his situation, once he becomes a formal extraordinary person, within ten years, our living environment will definitely be greatly different."
"ten years?"
The gray-haired priest glanced at the other man and said, "Don't you think ten years is too long?"
"It seems that you are very confident in this child?"
The deputy mayor was still cheerful, but he was refuting.
"I admit that he is an absolute genius, the kind that you don't see once in a hundred years. But our enemy is the York royal family with a thousand-year history. In a thousand years, how many geniuses have been born in the royal family? How many geniuses have been suppressed? How many geniuses have been cultivated?"
"The royal family has a strong foundation. This child alone is not enough to shake their foundation."
The priest nodded in agreement, then said, "So, why do you think I intend to train Andy to fight against the royal family?"
"What's the meaning?"
The deputy mayor was startled when he heard this, and then asked with amusement, "If you don't want to fight against the royal family, why did you bother to bring Andy in? To keep him as a mascot?"
"Of course it's a deal," the priest replied.
He moved his eyes away from the crystal ball and looked at the dark-skinned old man sitting behind the desk.
He said calmly, "Deal with the royal family."
