Chapter 436 [Named Person]
When he signed the symbiotic contract with the Banshees, Zeus gained the ability to sense the composition of matter through physical contact.
This ability helped him many times, such as when he first came into contact with the Fire Moth and discovered the identity of Brother Keschi.
But this ability is not that useful, because the result it gives is just a word. If you don’t know the meaning of the word, there is no good way to solve it.
For example, the [Named Person] that appeared in his mind at this moment.
He had no idea what the [Named One] was. Zeus had come into contact with other extraordinary beings before, such as the [Nymph] of the Fire Moth or the [Buried One] like Nora, but this strange ability did not give any warning, as if it was just a mortal being that was touched.
Even the Banshee is no different from ordinary people.
The only one who was a little special was probably the one lying in the stellar furnace. When Zeus came into contact with him, the hint he got was [pollution] - which was normal, as his body was full of pollution and he had long lost his self-awareness.
This was the first time he had sensed an entry on a living person.
Brother Keschi doesn't count. Although Xiusi didn't ask in detail, he should be some kind of inhuman creation, and the perception at that time was also a pile of materials.
The little girl in front of me is probably not an ordinary person.
And Gwen?
He immediately thought of Gwen in the link of the worker Zeus, a Northerner, a refugee, and her age matched. She should be the person in front of him.
But isn't Gwen a mortal? She almost starved to death before. Fortunately, Jeremiah helped her find wild vegetables, and Beatrice provided her with some secret methods of physical exercise.
Could it be that she came into contact with the extraordinary by herself? Is it so easy to contact the extraordinary? Doesn't it require a lot of specific resources? And even if it is an extraordinary person, they won't remind this [Named Person], right?
Gwen was looking up with her snow-white eyes looking over innocently.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but Zeus suppressed them forcefully, exchanged a few polite words and left. He had to find out what the [Named Person] was. The Blood Harbor had just begun construction, so he shouldn't create any more trouble.
And now he had to confirm another thing.
Then he took a detour and went to a literacy class.
Zoe was still teaching, and Hughes waited patiently for a long time before chatting with her after the class was over.
"How's the literacy class going?"
"Not bad. Recently, more and more people are coming to class. Many people just wanted to eat for free, but now they are studying seriously."
"Is there anything special about Blood Harbor, such as various rumors?"
Zoe's literacy class was aimed at the lower-class people of Blood Harbor, so it was easy for her and the Secret Order to obtain some information.
Gwen was already in the secret society, so Zeus didn't want to alert the enemy, so he came to see Zoe first.
Zoe was stunned for a moment, and her face turned ugly: "You finally found out, Lord."
Xius raised his eyebrows. Is there really any gain?
"Someone in the secret society secretly worships you, and now it has gradually spread to Blood Harbor. I often hear similar news."
“.”
Well, I'd rather not have this gain.
"Is that the kind of worship I'm thinking of?"
Zoe nodded somewhat awkwardly: "They still worship you as a god and call you Lord, but they no longer show it and they don't preach openly."
Xius was silent for a long time before he sighed, "It seems that the popularization of education in Blood Harbor needs to be accelerated."
Blind faith is difficult to resolve directly with coercive means, and it may even have a counterproductive effect: the greater the external pressure, the stronger the faith.
But education can.
If people know the principles behind those miraculous creations, there will be no messy superstitions. Just like the Crusaders, they have seen the more powerful side of Castel, but they are not superstitious about Hughes, but only have a more gentle worship of him.
This is the meaning of education.
"My Lord, this won't cause cognitive interference, right?"
Xiu Si was stunned. Now Xiu Si couldn't sit still anymore. He stuffed the documents in his hand into Zoe's hand and turned away: "I'll go ask!"
Zoe didn't notice that their fingers touched for a moment when Hughes handed her the document.
Hughes returned to Castres by boat that night. If it weren't for his image, he would have wanted to swim back directly.
His ability did not give him any feedback when he touched Zoe. Zoe was no different from anyone else.
This was strange. Hughes had thought that the Named One was related to his link thread. After all, Gwen was the person in his link. Could he have made a mistake? Perhaps Gwen herself was special? After returning to the island, Hughes immediately called Richard, Tata and other members of the Fire Moth Chaser.
After he briefly recounted the situation, he asked with some concern: "Everyone, this kind of thing should have happened in the extraordinary world, right? Will it bring troubles such as cognitive interference?"
Cognitive interference is the result of a person's will breaking through the high wall of reality. People worship him as a god, which is problematic no matter how you look at it.
Firstly, there are enough people, and secondly, their ideas are firm. After all, they are forming an underground society, so there should be a large number of people who seriously believe in it.
Also, these people’s cognition is very similar, they all worship him as a god. In this way, the wills of many people are combined into one. The more I think about it, the more dangerous it seems!
Several Fire Chasing Moths looked at each other, and Richard spoke first: "My Lord, do you think you are a god?"
"Of course not."
"Then don't worry." He pushed his monocle and nodded, saying, "The essence of cognitive interference is actually a confrontation of wills. This is why objects are more prone to cognitive interference, such as the soap that had problems before, because they don't have their own will."
"For living beings, they are using their will to fight against the whole world at every moment. Just like at this moment, you know who you are and what you look like. This is your cognition, and it leaves a reflection of you in the world."
Xius frowned and thought for a while: "It sounds as if I don't actually exist in this world."
"The present world is a projection of the Sea of No Consciousness. Our world is just an appearance. This is why we can obtain information through the Sea of No Consciousness - because those obstacles do not exist. The world is an illusion of the soul."
What kind of magical theory is this? Hughes's head hurts after hearing it. Isn't this too idealistic? He has always firmly believed that the world is material, at least a considerable part of it is material. Whether it is cognitive interference or will confrontation, the part affected is very limited.
"For example, the wall you see in front of you may not really hinder you. It may not exist in the dimension of the Sea of No Consciousness."
“Klein bottle?”
Now it was Richard's turn to be stunned: "What?"
