Of course, Klein couldn't bring up the "Mind Reader" formula right from the start, but he didn't hide the fact that he had other ideas. After all, the person in front of him was an "audience" who wasn't so easy to fool.
"Has Hood Eugen behaved abnormally recently?" He first asked about the "patient" in the mental asylum who developed Daxter Guderian into a member of the Psychological Alchemist Society.
Dust examined Klein's eyes, expression, and movements, thought for a moment, and said:
"No, he is the same as before. Frankly speaking, I think if he wanted to leave the asylum, he could immediately act healthy and normal, but he didn't do that. He still stayed inside, as if trying to heal every patient. Well, those who were confused, violent, or had abnormal thinking got a little better. Maybe, maybe Hood Eugen was using this method to exercise his extraordinary ability."
The Sequence 7 "Psychologist" corresponding to "Audience"? Perhaps even higher... Hood Eugen did not serve as a doctor in the mental hospital, but disguised himself as a patient to infiltrate, which shows that he did not really master the "acting method". It should be like what Dust guessed, he was training his extraordinary ability, and this kind of training is close to "acting method", which can alleviate the negative effects of the potion to a certain extent. So Hood Eugen simply made the mental hospital his home... Klein frankly showed that he had deep thoughts on Hood Eugen's affairs.
Because this would make Duster Guderian feel that he knew a lot, understood a lot, and was unfathomable.
Thinking of this, Klein also deduced another thing, which is that the Psychological Alchemy Society has not mastered the "acting method". After all, a powerful member of at least Sequence 7 does not know it. In this era when Beyonders are rare, no matter which secret organization, Sequence 7 is at least considered a middle-level person, enough to know certain important things, especially those that can effectively help members fight against loss of control.
Yes, the Psychological Alchemy Society is a secret organization that was established in the last two or three hundred years, or even later. It is normal that it has not mastered or summarized the "acting method". Currently, the only one who has clearly proposed such a method is the Secret Society, which is an ancient organization with a history of more than 1,500 years and can be traced back to the last era!
Hey, the Goddess Church is even older than the Secret Order. The history clearly recorded in the "Letters of the Saints" of "Apocalypse of the Night" alone is nearly three thousand years old, and this is not counting the previous myths and legends... Why hasn't such a church discovered the "acting method"?
In such a long history and such a large organization, there will always be members with unique ideas who try various possibilities unconsciously or experimentally, just like the "psychic" Daly. They may not have been able to clearly propose the method of acting, but they have started from the name of the potion, touched the right path, and gradually figured out something through good feedback. This has accumulated from generation to generation, and examples have been piled up one by one. Unless the top management are a group of curly-haired baboons, it is impossible not to summarize the "method of acting"!
Klein's thoughts wandered as he made associations, and he was suddenly startled.
In the eyes of other Nighthawks who do not understand the "acting method", people like the "psychic" Daly are geniuses, who are impossible for ordinary members to emulate, so no one would doubt why the experience of Daly and others is difficult to transplant to themselves.
However, to those who have mastered the "acting method", this is very strange!
Klein believed that in the long history of the Church of the Evernight Goddess, "Psychic" Daly was definitely not the first member to use a similar role-playing method to quickly digest low-sequence potions. She might not even be in the top ten or top fifty!
"This doesn't make sense from a probability perspective... Unless Daly didn't comprehend the 'Acting Method' on her own, but received guidance from someone else, then it can be said that the Church of the Evernight Goddess could not come up with the 'Acting Method' because of the old path. All members followed the will of the past and believed in the experience of their predecessors. They dared not rebel at all. After all, rebellion often means losing control... Well, in addition to this explanation, there is another possibility. The church leaders concealed the 'Acting Method' because of some problems..."
“I need to look up the relevant information and find examples of Beyonders from the Goddess Church quickly digesting potions, and find out what happened to them afterwards…” Klein thought solemnly.
Dust looked at his expression, waited for a minute or two, and asked in confusion:
"Officer, is there anything wrong with Hood Eugen's performance?"
“Not yet. I just thought of something else.” Klein replied with a smile, putting his doubts aside.
He then asked:
"Has the Psychological Alchemist Society taken any action recently?"
"No, except for a small gathering in Ahowa County to exchange items and experience." Dust answered without hiding anything.
Klein nodded slightly and said:
"So how's your situation?"
Dust controlled his expression and said:
"Not very well. I still often hear some mumbling and have some hallucinations. If I were not a psychiatrist, I would even think that I had a similar disease."
As he spoke, his face became more serious. "I followed Hood Eugen's and your instructions and ignored the hallucinations and mumblings. This made me feel much better, but they still affected my sleep and made me irritable and angry. I became unlike myself. It was as if a new me was growing inside me, or a new personality. I was very worried and afraid. Maybe one day, I would suddenly lose control."
Just as I expected. I could have predicted it without even divination... Klein smiled preparedly and said:
"You don't need to worry. You are now an external member of the Nighthawks and have your own benefits. As an ancient organization, we have mastered many ways to prevent loss of control. This may not be 100% effective, but it can definitely help you."
"In addition, I would like to share my personal experience with you. You should know that the gentleman standing in front of you only took one month to completely get rid of hallucinations and mumblings. You should know how difficult it is from Hood Eugen and other companions."
For the Sequence 8 “Mind Reader” corresponding to the “audience”, Klein boasted a little, and he was very frank about it.
"Officer, there are lies in your words, but the main part is true." Dust suddenly spoke calmly, "What do you want from me?"
The “audience” is really hard to deceive… Klein replied with a smile:
“It’s not just what I want.”
And Miss Justice...
Of course, he knew that Dust would definitely think that the Nighthawks wanted to get something.
"If your method is indeed effective, and I can get the items or information you want..." Dust said carefully.
"I will advance your benefits." Klein said calmly, "We want the formula for the Mind Reader."
He would not conceal the potion formula and would hand it over to the captain, saying that Dust was using it in exchange for his own experience in mastering the potion.
During this process, Klein would definitely verify the formula and "accidentally" memorize it in his head.
In addition, the recipes he gained through his personal experience can help him accumulate more merits.
By then, combined with the previous parts, he might not even need to do any extra work to apply for the "clown formula" plus the main ingredients.
One formula for two trades, what a bargain... Klein thought as his mood improved.
Dust stared into his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said:
"You are very frank... I will try my best to obtain the formula, but I am not sure how long it will take. If it is too dangerous, I hope to use other compensation instead."
"No problem." Klein didn't intend to push the other party too much, and then he described the "acting method" in a vague way. "The key to fighting loss of control lies in the name of the potion. We must understand it and its true meaning. This is not something that can be accomplished by thinking alone. You must truly experience it. For example, as an 'audience', you must understand that you are just an 'audience', not an 'actor'. As for what an 'audience' is like, you need to dig into it in life, try it, summarize its 'code of conduct', and use it to strictly demand yourself."
Dust listened very attentively, and after a while he said:
"This is a brand new theory. Haha, I prefer to use the word 'theory' to describe what you just said. It's like the theory of correspondence between drama and opera singers... I will give it a try and hope for a better outcome."
"If, if it really works, I will do my best to help you get the 'Mind Reader' formula!"
“May the goddess bless you.” Klein drew a crimson moon on his chest.
He did not add the potion formula of "Psychologist" because he knew that this was a task that Dust would definitely not be able to complete in his current position, and the other party would be exposed if he was not careful.
Therefore, he planned to take it slow and help Duster gain a higher position in the Psychological Alchemy Society step by step.
That way, the long-term benefits will be very, very substantial.
Klein didn't stay any longer. He first observed the outside through the hole in the door, then quickly left and headed towards the small shooting range belonging to the Nighthawks.
After entering there and locking the door, his face turned gloomy again. When he was speculating about the Goddess Church not coming up with a "method of acting", he thought of something he had overlooked!
The reason why he ignored it was that the two things that should have been related were obtained in the reverse order, which prevented him from thinking further.
The first thing is that the Antigonus family was destroyed by the Church of the Goddess of Night.
The second thing is that the Antigonus family controls the "Fortune Teller" sequence, or at least a large part of it.
Because Klein knew that the two events happened too long apart, he almost never analyzed them together, and thus ignored the weirdness in them. But now, when they were listed together, the problem became quite obvious.
Since the Antigonus family at least possesses a large part of the sequences of the "Fortune Teller" path, how could the Church of the Evernight Goddess, which completely destroyed them, only obtain Sequence 9 "Fortune Teller"?
This couldn't be the only spoils we got!
Any member of the "Aurora Society" who gets a magical notebook from the Antigonus family can get the "Joker" formula, but what about the Church of the Goddess of Night that destroyed the entire Antigonus family?
Even if the Antigonus family had been well prepared and hid the most valuable things on the main peak of the Hornachis Mountains, the Church of the Evernight Goddess should not have gained so little. They killed many members of the Antigonus family, and the dead can speak!
