Chapter 54: No People, Only Gold (2) The Blind Man Wants to Brainwash NP...
Before the players in the chat room had time to exit, they received a notification sound indicating a video update. When they looked at the time, only 15 minutes had passed.
: The game is already exciting from the beginning! It’s been 15 minutes!
：Who just said that the first video can only be released after 5 hours [doge] You underestimate the blind.
On the video cover, Gao Mengtang stands in a minimalist blue dormitory for two people, with three teammates behind him. He half-turns around, smiling in an ambiguous way, his beautiful eyes out of focus, like two lifeless gems emerging from the water.
In order to prevent players from misunderstanding that lifting his hair means mind control, wrapping his entire head with a headscarf is too exaggerated.
Gao Mengtang wore her hair in a low bun this time, with two curly bangs hanging on both sides of her cheekbones. The raised hair looked like a circle of light when illuminated by the sunlight.
Gao Mengtang is handsome but not feminine. He has full cheekbones, a well-defined jaw, broad shoulders, a thin waist and long legs. This is a masculine and powerful skeleton.
But the shape of his eyes seemed to be carefully cut out, and the tip of his nose seemed to be finely carved. His cheeks were like freshly peeled lychees, plump and translucent, and I wanted to take a bite of them.
The extremely delicate and considerate facial features are a kind of beauty that transcends gender. Coupled with the feminine low bun at this moment, at first glance, it is difficult to tell whether she is male or female.
It is as tough as jade and as soft as a flower bud. These two contradictory temperaments are naturally combined together like light and shadow.
Like Avalokitesvara who saves people from suffering, with a nod and a faint smile, he has miraculous powers.
"Are you really an ancient god?"
The blind man smiled but said nothing.
In the video, the charlatan was stunned for five seconds when he saw this smile.
: I'll just say, hi! Wife!
: I love the blind man’s face so much. I want to look like this in my next life. I love it so much.
: Don't lick my face first, what does it mean that the blind man doesn't speak? Do you accept it?
: He used to emphasize that I am just an ordinary person, but today I am a little abnormal.
: Let me be honest, I won’t pretend anymore!
There were hundreds of comments, and some people actually guessed some correctly.
: Think about it, the blind man just established the Moon Banner, and everyone is looking forward to it, but he does not recruit members from outside. It is obvious that he wants to adopt the believer development model! If he wants to recruit believers, he must bring out his identity as an ancient god!
: So that's how it is! The blind man exerts mental control and makes them his believers!
The barrage was filled with the three words "I understand".
In the picture, the charlatan also had a "sudden enlightenment" and disappeared in a flash, reuniting with his two teammates at the corner of the corridor.
"How? Did you ask?"
The charlatan lowered his head, put his hands behind his back, and sighed slowly.
…
The camera turns back to Dormitory 402. The cleansing master hands the blind man a skill scroll [Glory] and says, "I am not your follower yet. Please sign it, and you will feel more at ease. My name has been signed."
He took Gao Mengtang's hand and placed it on the signature spot.
After a few seconds of silence, Gao Mengtang threw down his pen.
The feather pen falls on the table with a crisp sound. The camera switches.
Wei Wei stared with astonishment, and propped himself up on the table with one hand. The muscles in his arm were tensed to the extreme, like a taut string.
He seemed to be drowned by invisible water, his breathing was rapid, his chest heaving violently, and the shape of his shoulder blades could be seen through the thin clothes.
I tried my best to struggle, but my body was out of control.
An invisible hand pressed him into a dark abyss, and he couldn't get up.
: What happened to the body cleanser? Such a big reaction?
: What happened? What’s the situation now?
The system cut out Gao Mengtang's words, and all the audience saw was the blind man throwing down his pen and the eunuch's whole body stiffening.
The camera moved forward little by little, giving a close-up of Wei Wei's profile. His ear holes, where tea stalks were inserted, were clearly shown in the video.
: Ghost Bamboo's token is the bamboo leaf earrings. After Wei Wei left Ghost Bamboo, he never wore the earrings again. The close-up shot must have a deep meaning.
: Why does the body-cleansing master seem to have lost his soul? What happened? (Looking around)
: Watching it at double speed, running back to give a warning, nuclear energy ahead!
: Nuclear energy ahead! Nuclear energy ahead! Nuclear energy ahead!
The next moment, the system prompt sounded: "[101 Body Cleansing Master] has become your follower."
The comments were as follows: !!!
: "Throwing the pen as a signal, exerting mental control, the boss becomes my follower"
: Mind control! This must be mind control! ! Apart from mind control, no skill or skill scroll can achieve this effect!
: The only ones who can manipulate spirits are the gods of the other world. The blind man did not hide anything, he really did not intend to pretend anymore!
: It’s so horrible, my God, the blind man didn’t even look at the eunuch, he just threw down the pen calmly, and Wei Wei was brainwashed!
: Wei Wei is a player with a spirit value of 800. He was controlled in less than a few seconds. I can't imagine that a rookie like me with a spirit value of 200 would go crazy if I was glared at by a blind man.
: God is God, and he will always attack players from a lower dimension.
: Look, the blind man is still smiling. Does the curve of his mouth look like mockery?
: The mind of the blind, signing a contract to sell oneself? Too low, it brings disgrace to me, let me perform a mind control!
: Who are you looking down on (angrily throwing the pen), do I, the leader of the Baiying, need to use the same method as old man Yin?
Some players have unique ideas.
: I also want to be controlled by the blind QAQ I am the blind man's dog
: The one in front, calm down, do you think mind control is a scalp treatment? It's very painful, okay? Look at the body wash master, his reaction is so big!
: Count on your fingers to see if your spirit value is 600+. If not, the blind man has just started brainwashing you and you have gone crazy first.
Research: Mind control is essentially a form of brainwashing, which forcibly implants the program "You are my follower" into your brain. From then on, the controlled person firmly believes in this fact.
: Since it is brainwashing, there must be a conflict between one's own thinking and the implanted thinking. The camera gives a close-up of the side face of the purifier, allowing us to see his ear holes clearly, which should be to show the fierce struggle in Wei Wei's heart.
Passerby A: I understand! There is only one person that Wei Wei has followed wholeheartedly, and that is Gu Kang, the former leader of Ghost Bamboo. Ghost Bamboo's token is an earring. This earring represents Wei Wei's memory of the former leader and Wei Wei's original belief.
Passerby B: Wei Wei was struggling between Gu Kang and Gao Mengtang. He tried his best to resist being mentally controlled, but... the result was in front of him. How could the players know how powerful the ancient gods were?
: Wei Wei tried his best but failed to resist the mind control, and the others... ah. There was no room for struggle.
Research: The effects of mind control are difficult to remove, just like extracting a section of code from a program, which will leave many problems. Wei Wei, please be more careful in your next life!
: hhhh The body cleaning master has been wasting his whole life, and now he has failed here. Be careful in your next life!
Something even more unexpected happened to the players. The camera switched to [432 the charlatan], [100 the priest], and [780 the lucky guy].
Lucky and the pastor asked anxiously, "How is it, did Gao Mengtang say anything? Is he a god?"
The charlatan suddenly raised his head and smiled mysteriously.
The camera reversed and the lucky man and the priest had the same expression, with surprise and wide eyes.
They stood there in a daze as if they had been hit by a sudden blow. Their eyes went from wandering to ecstatic as if they had discovered the truth.
In fact, the priest and the lucky guy guessed from the charlatan's silent smile that Gao Mengtang was an ancient god, and that they had a chance of passing the level, and their surprise turned into happiness.
But the audience doesn’t think so. They don’t understand micro-expressions, but they have their own interpretations.
: Their reactions were similar to Wei Wei's! They were both stunned and staring with their eyes wide open. I guess they were also under mental control!
: I agree. Mind control can be passed on. Just like a missionary who can attract more believers. The blind man first used a special control spell to brainwash the charlatan, allowing him to indirectly control the priest and the lucky man.
: At the beginning, the astonishment in their eyes was the struggle when they were controlled by the mind. Then, there was light in their eyes, that was because the mind control was completed and they gained faith!
: The blind man wanted to recruit believers and expand his power, so how could he let them go! The only thing he would complain about is too few believers, not too many.
: "The top killer is my roommate. Don't panic. I'll recruit four little brothers first."
In the video, an NPC was heard scolding: "Gao Mengtang? The new security team?"
I saw three people slowly turning around, three pairs of eyes staring at the NPC calmly, and three faces showing smiles at the same time.
Similar to a blind person, smiling but not saying anything.
The NPC also widened his eyes in horror.
The video ends here.
: What does this ending mean? The three of them are laughing in a way that’s a bit creepy.
: Great synchronicity. I am even more convinced that they have all become pawns of the blind man.
The comments section was full of "mind control, so scary". Suddenly someone discovered the blind spot.
: At the end, the three people controlled by the blind man smiled at the NPC without saying a word. Is it implying that the blind man also wants to control the NPC in this round!
: Can NPCs also be mind controlled? ?
: In principle, any individual with thoughts and life can be influenced by "God".
: In [Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories], didn’t the blind man perform mind control? He made the NPC [No Man’s Land Prince] very fond of him in one second!
: The last instance was just a trial run, this instance is a big one. The blind man is going to attack the NPCs!
: In the mind of the blind, the player's level is too low, the ceiling of the spirit value is very high, and I can control it successfully by just throwing a pen. I have to make it more difficult for myself and practice with NPC first.
: Hahahaha, next, will the blind man attack the butcher?
The Butcher is a special NPC, stronger than ordinary NPCs, has a sharp hostility towards players, and has a high degree of autonomy.
: First, warm up with the players, practice with the NPCs, spar with the butchers, and challenge the monsters in the other world. What's next? Other gods!
: The blind man was injured like this, the one who hurt him couldn't be the player, but other gods. Revenge is reasonable [doge]
: Pass it on, the blind man is going to kill God!
What is Wei Wei's identity? He signed a contract with the leader of the Black Gulls, and he was able to steal the vault and tear up the contract. At this moment, he was actually "mentally controlled" by a new player.
Moreover, the blind man is going to try a path that has never been taken before and will never be taken again: brainwashing the NPC!
The news spread throughout the Black Tower player circle, and five minutes later, the Blind Series clearance video was ranked first on the weekly recommendation list. Countless high-level players came to visit, and colorful gift special effects flashed non-stop.
*
During the game, Gao Mengtang and others were peeking at the screen.
Gao Mengtang was speechless for a moment: "Is this how it's cut? I...I can't do anything about the system."
He Lun was horrified: "Brother, when did you brainwash the charlatan?"
"I didn't." Gao Mengtang held his forehead and sighed.
Bai Jie was thoughtful: "Brainwashing the NPC is a good way to pass the level. In this dungeon, the NPC is a big threat. Boss, I think you can give it a try."
Gao Mengtang looked numb: "This is a very good idea. The good thing is that I don't know how to do mind control at all."
Judging from the expressions of He Lun and Bai Jie, they didn't quite believe it.
The three ignored Gao Mengtang's opinion and were studying the feasibility of mind controlling NPCs when there was a knock on the door.
The door was clearly locked, but with a click, the lock was pried open. The man who broke in had no sense of having done anything wrong, he pushed the door open gracefully, smiling elegantly without a trace of emotion.
"I came to visit my new roommate," Duan Song said in a gentle voice and elegant manner, "Of course, I also want to visit the elders of Yuefan."
A vulture folded its wings and landed behind Duan Song. The bird was about 1.6 meters long, with jet-black feathers, a bald head, and a circle of feathers on its neck. It turned sideways to face Gao Mengtang and the others, only turning its head to stare at them with its dark golden eyes.
The scavenging birds of prey from the plateau brought a sense of austerity and primitive oppression. The atmosphere instantly cooled.
Duan Song's temperament is just the opposite. He looks gentle and elegant, and his clothes are a bit exaggerated, but just right, like a white peacock that folds its tail feathers in a reserved manner.
He was wearing a white suit made of thin fabric, with three-dimensional floral embroidery extending from the waist to the chest. Only one button was fastened, revealing half of the outline of his chest muscles.
Behind the white suit is lace mesh, and the muscle lines of his shoulders and back support the translucent fabric, making him look tighter and stronger. Even his flared trousers are made of large pieces of semi-transparent mesh, showing off his sculpted muscles unscrupulously.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Duan Song didn't wait for anyone to invite him. He crossed his arms and walked into the dormitory on his own. "Did my little fat pussy scare you?"
Little Fatty, you're not referring to a vulture that's 1.6 meters long and has a wingspan of over 5 meters? No way, no way?
Duan Song came closer, and his three-dimensional mixed-race facial features were very impactful, fierce and not friendly enough. When you look into his eyes, you will find that Duan Song's gentle appearance hides a storm.
Like the vultures behind them, they will wait beside the dying person, staring at them as they take their last breath.
Being patient is gentleness, while eating raw flesh is cruelty.
"I'm a killer. People who kill people often know that it's easier to kill someone than to dispose of the body. It's better to let the little fat chick eat it and save the trouble of dealing with the crime scene. So, I often take her with me."
Duan Song was over 1.9 meters tall, and when he leaned down, he was just eye-level with Gao Mengtang. He had blond hair and blue eyes, but when he got closer, his eyes suddenly turned into dark red vertical pupils, with a black line splitting to the sides.
The red vertical pupils make Duan Song look like a cold-blooded animal, even more eerie and terrifying.
But unfortunately, Gao Mengtang is a blind man. Not to mention vertical pupils and a kaleidoscope in his eyes, Gao Mengtang cannot feel the pressure.
Duan Song stared at him for a long time without getting a response, then he suddenly smiled: "Senior, after all, I have written you a hundred love letters, don't you remember me at all?"
Study, senior?
He Lun and Bai Jie were like two meerkats, craning their necks to look, their enthusiasm for eating the melon even overshadowing their vigilance.
Gao Mengtang had experience in dealing with this matter. Although he had no idea about the two words "Duan Song", he still pretended to be enlightened: "Oh, I remember you! You are the one from Zhongzhou Art College..."
Duan Song: "Mural Department."
Gao Mengtang smiled brightly: "Yes! Junior from the mural department."
"No," Duan Song sneered, "I knew it," "I'm studying acting at Zhongzhou Film and Television College. I heard that there's a person named Gao Mengtang at the Academy of Fine Arts who can rely on his looks but prefers to rely on his talent, so I went to visit him."
Duan Song gritted his teeth when talking about the past: "I drove for 40 minutes every day, waited for 20 minutes downstairs of your rented apartment, and delivered your love letters to you. I persisted for more than three months."
"You had your birthday and didn't invite me. I sneaked in, and then you pointed at me and asked who he was." Duan Song smiled, and his two sharp canine teeth flashed coldly.
Gao Mengtang: ...There are so many murals.
Unable to pretend any longer, Gao Mengtang regained his indifferent expression: "Someone has written me a thousand love letters. You are not diligent enough. Keep up the good work."
After a brief silence, Duan Song chuckled softly, and his eyes returned to their deep blue color, as gentle as a bay of water under a clear sky.
He smiled and patted Gao Mengtang on the shoulder, saying, "Everyone, don't be nervous."
Wei Wei couldn't bear it any longer: "The mission Yin Mingwu gave you is to kill me or the blind man."
"Kill you," Duan Song said bluntly, "but I don't want to kill anyone right now."
Wei Wei stared at him suspiciously.
"It seems you don't believe it." Duan Song turned his head, and one of his flaxen golden curls trembled. "I'm not a workaholic. If you give me a job, do I have to do it?"
Wei Wei: “…”
"You have been working diligently," Duan Song looked at Wei Wei with interest, "and what's the result? Director of Human Resources, your efforts have earned you a letter of dismissal."
"Oh, I shouldn't call you Chief now. You've been pushed out of Black Gull."
Killing someone is not as satisfying as destroying their heart. After saying this, it is hard to say whether Duan Song wants to kill someone or not.
But Wei Wei must really want to kill someone at this moment.
Duan Song seemed unaware and sat elegantly on the small stool with his back straight and facial expression well managed, as if multiple cameras were shooting his face.
"How about this, senior, let's play a game." Duan Song happily suggested, "The experience of more than three months has broken my heart. I want some compensation."
"I don't want to work at Black Gull anymore, but the contract we killers signed is very strong. It cannot be broken by external forces. The only way to release my faith is to let me find a new faith."
"I won't do anything in the first 13 days of the dungeon. Senior, you must do your best to display your personal charm, either to make me bow down to you or to make me crazy and obsessed, and then become your follower and break the indenture in Black Gull. In this way, I will naturally let Wei Wei go."
"If not, in the last two days, I will chop off Wei Wei's head and bring it to see Yin Mingwu."
After finishing his statement, Duan Song's smile was perfect: "How is it?"
Gao Mengtang smiled and said, "Deal."
