Mini World Game Console-Chapter 750 - 751 Unveiling the Mystery Behind Ren Suo
Those with a passing acquaintance with Cha Xian'er might think she wears a mask to conceal flaws or shelter from the sun. Those who are close to Cha Xian'er might think she wears a mask for Cultivation, replacing speech with sound transmitted by Spiritual Energy without others noticing. Aside from Ren Zuo, who personally taught Cha Xian'er, and You Jiu, who might notice something amiss, no one knew that Cha Xian'er wore a mask not to hide the fact that she was 'not talking', but to conceal that she was 'talking'.
Cha Xian'er's awakened spell was the exceptionally rare Mental Transmission Technique. From her first turn, she could drive spiritual power with Spiritual Energy, sending her Heart Sound into others' minds, even altering the frequency, volume, and pitch of the voice heard by others. In fact, the Heart Sound Cha Xian'er currently used was a perfected version that she had fine-tuned for months to achieve 100% similarity with her real voice. This spell could also be used for Attack, as the Heart Sound had no range or distance limitations. By endlessly amplifying the volume and frequency with Spiritual Energy, it could cause widespread sonic damage.
Sounds decent, right? But compared to other Awakeners of the Great Wall, Cha Xian'er's awakened spell could only be considered the weakest tier, and far inferior to Dong Chengling's Space Spells.
However, there was another way to use Cha Xian'er's spell. When others spoke, she would respond with the Voice of the Mind; and when she spoke, others would naturally articulate the Voice of the Mind. Of course, others, lacking her spell, couldn't project a Voice of the Mind; they would directly voice their innermost thoughts. An interrogation spell that leaves no room for lies or evasion! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
This was one application Ren Zuo taught her: Mind Guidance. Cha Xian'er always chewed gum to prevent bad breath and didn't use her mouth to speak. This was all so that, in the moment she actually spoke, she could use the Voice of the Mind in sync with her True Voice to induce a mental resonance in the target. This would cause them to enter an imperceptible trance and naturally spill the truth. As long as the target let down their guard against her voice, they would inevitably fall prey to it!
Two years since the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, the only spell that had a similar effect to her awakened spell, shockingly, was a minor character's Ability she saw in the "Annals of the Otherworld Empire's Demise": the Yisu Great Law. But the Yisu Great Law was useless, unable to execute any moves before being vanquished by the hero Los. The technique 'Binding Speech to Keep Secrets' was only revealed to viewers when Xides mentioned it.
Much like with the Yisu Great Law, Cha Xian'er refrained from speaking, using Spiritual Energy to mimic her True Voice with her Heart Sound. When she emitted her True Voice in resonance with the Heart Sound, she could achieve the maximum effect!
Asking Dong Chengling about Ren Suo's secret was one of the plans Cha Xian'er had laid since stepping into Lianjiang! Within Ren Suo's circle of friends, Dong Chengling was the person closest to Ren Suo in status (a Fourth-Stage Cultivator), place of residence (the academy), and relationship (they were dating). If Ren Suo had any secrets, Dong Chengling would most likely know them.
The reason for suspecting Ren Suo was simple: he had been in a coma for a month after the Lunar Deity Trial! Then, just one month later, he advanced to the fourth transformation! According to Ren Suo's civil servant training record, his Talent was mediocre at best, barely passing muster. Simply put, his joining the Cultivator community was an incredible stroke of luck, as if his ancestors' graves were emitting green smoke. There were many doubts concerning Ren Suo, but this was his most significant issue! Tracing back from this suspicion, Cha Xian'er found that Ren Suo's promotion rate was also suspiciously fast. He began Cultivation in April and broke through the second turn, third turn, and fourth transformation within a year. Not only was his Talent limited, but he was also a non-combatant. Combatants at least had 'life-and-death stimulation'; who had ever heard of someone advancing like him just by sitting at home writing papers?
Moreover, he wasn't writing research papers exploring the Truth of the world that could shatter others' worldviews, but Gossip papers about the Fairy Palace World Tree! Researching the evolution of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's image, discussing how to pursue the Disaster Messenger... After reading his papers, I felt like I was wasting my time. Can such a person really advance to a Fourth-Stage Cultivator? Is there no justice? No law?
Ordinary Cultivators might not know, but as the Measuring Ruler of the Great Wall, Cha Xian'er was acutely aware of the difficulty of advancing to the fourth transformation. Talent, diligence, and luck were all indispensable; anyone who could reach the fourth transformation was undoubtedly a hero of this era. The strict standard for joining the Great Wall was to be a Fourth-Stage Cultivator. In other words, advancing to the fourth transformation meant one could directly join the Great Wall, the highest Supernatural Organization in the Mysterious Country! It was nothing short of a meteoric rise. Even I only advanced to the fourth transformation and became a Measuring Ruler a month ago! Before that, I'd always worked for the Great Wall as part of the reserve team!
One wouldn't know without investigating, but once investigated, it couldn't be concealed. Before Cha Xian'er, representing the Great Wall, came to invite the five Cultivators of Lianjiang, she already knew Ren Suo was problematic. In my opinion, he definitely needed to be captured. Confess and be treated leniently, go home for the New Year. Resist and be punished severely, rot in jail. Regrettably, the entire Great Wall consisted of doves.
Ren Zuo had always advocated treating Cultivators well and uniting all forces that could be united. He allowed Cultivators to have secrets, as long as they didn't commit heinous crimes and were willing to serve the country. He truly didn't care about Ren Suo's Secrecy. Mr. Sanqianli Chuan, who was effectively the field team leader of the Great Wall, also held a similar attitude. After all, he himself was a Pangolin, so of course, he advocated letting Cultivators 'flourish' and 'pursue their own Cultivation'. The only slightly hawkish one, You Jiu, seemed to disrespect Ren Zuo daily, fearing nothing and always saying things like, 'Our goal is the stars and the sea!' But he actually respected Ren Zuo a lot. If Ren Zuo told him not to spout nonsense on Weibo, he would just vent in his Friends Circle, cursing some 'eternally constipated king who sits on an Ice Explosion toilet.'
If Ren Zuo was a dove, then You Jiu was a hawk on the outside and a dove on the inside—tough externally, mild internally. Within the entire Great Wall, only Cha Xian'er staunchly demanded Strict management of Cultivators, using strong measures to integrate Cultivator resources and develop Transcendent capabilities at the national level. Nobody understood the malevolence of the human heart better than I, who could hear others' thoughts at any time. I have no Trust in ordinary people who've acquired Supernatural Ability. I've heard the filthy thoughts of Transcendent unworthy of their positions countless times. The reason ordinary people don't commit crimes is collective surveillance. But Transcendent who might one day surpass collective combat power will eventually cause immeasurable destruction. Before that day comes, Strict supervision of all Transcendent is what the Great Wall should prioritize. Indeed, I don't even Trust myself, for I often use my Awakening Technique to probe others' thoughts, making me the very Transcendent who often tramples on morals and laws.
And institutions cannot assume the role of supervisor. My existence, along with Qiao Muyi's, proved that Supernatural Organizations like the Tactical Bureau, the Yellow River and Yangtze River, and the Great Wall could all potentially become corrupt. I didn't believe for a second that Qiao Muyi, who had reimbursed Ren Suo's hospital expenses, hadn't abused her authority for personal gain. At a glance, I knew she and I were the same kind of people. The troublesome kind.
Therefore, Transcendent must be supervised.
But after the emergence of Transcendent, this world no longer had gods, yet it needed them. Fortunately, Destiny also delivered the god humanity needed—Ren Zuo! In this world, only Ren Zuo is worthy of ascending to the divine throne! Only the world's strongest, devoid of passion and desire, forever calm, forever wise—only Ren Zuo can wield the authority of the Transcendent.
Though Ren Zuo, for some unknown reason, recently took a liking to Ancient Style Immortal Kospley, it only made him seem more lovable and dashing! He must be wearing an Immortal's Garb to better emulate Ancient Immortal in his Cultivation! Collecting Spells from all over will make Ren Zuo an Omniscient and Omnipotent great being! One day, Ren Zuo will become the god of a new world, leading humanity towards the stars and the sea!
Yet, the others are so lenient internally! This not only poses a great danger to society but also slows down Ren Zuo's Cultivation speed! Since they are unwilling to be the villains, I don't mind getting my hands dirty for Ren Zuo. Some things just have to be done.
From the moment she was promoted to the fourth transformation and entrusted with the Measuring Ruler by Ren Zuo, Cha Xian'er silently vowed: In my life, I will express my true feelings to countless people, but when facing him, I will never reveal even a hint of my innermost thoughts. The Crown shall be placed upon your head, while I am content to brave the thorns and till the darkness for you.
Finally promoted to the fourth transformation, finally becoming the Measuring Ruler, Cha Xian'er started her own plans.
Ren Suo had merely been targeted by her due to poor luck. The Mysterious Country has many individuals as enigmatic as him, but Ren Suo is the only state-affiliated Cultivator who is both mysterious and has reached the fourth transformation—truly an arrogant figure without peer. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. So, I'll start with Ren Suo. I'll dig out the secrets of those unwilling to fully commit to the Great Wall. If they're useful, I'll use both carrot and stick to win them over for Ren Zuo. If not, then the stick it is—punishment for the crime of concealment!
In Cha Xian'er's eager anticipation, Dong Chengling seemed completely unaffected, as always caressing the Black Cat while saying softly, "Fairy Palace, World Tree, Ren Naiser."
Dong Chengling's spiritual power is very strong, Cha Xian'er was slightly startled. In my secret trials, only powerful Cultivators like You Jiu and Mr. Chuan could resist my Mind Guidance. They wouldn't speak complete sentences, only uttering keywords. But keywords are enough. Otherwise, I wouldn't have learned that Mr. Chuan is actually a Pangolin and likes eating ants.
Fairy Palace, World Tree... I know Ren Suo has deep ties with these two Supernatural Organizations—Ren Suo is a Special Consultant for the Fairy Palace World Tree Project Group, though he usually only publishes trivial Gossip papers. As for Ren Naiser, one could say Ren Suo makes a living by studying Ren Naiser's videos. Does Ren Suo have even closer connections with these two Supernatural Organizations? Right, he seemed to have had close encounters with the Fairy Palace Assassin and the Magician. And then what? He greeted someone from ten meters away, so he became good friends with these mysterious figures? If that's the case, then when I was staying in Asakusa and saw Angel Zack getting thrashed by a mysterious man from eight hundred meters away, does that mean I've fought Angel Zack too?
Then Dong Chengling continued, "November, Qiao Muyi."
Cha Xian'er's spirits lifted. Is there a big secret between Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi? Indeed, Qiao Muyi has quite a few secrets herself. For example, her spellcasting power and learning speed are unmatched in the country. Although she claims her awakened spells simply enhance her Learning Ability, I suspect there's more to it.
Yet Dong Chengling suddenly changed the subject: "December, Gu Yueyan, Lu... Ah."
The Black Cat bit Dong Chengling's finger. She shuddered slightly, and Cha Xian'er quickly followed up with Casting Spells, asking, "What else?"
Gu Yueyan's Awakening Technique is Light Magic, but from another perspective, it's Moonlight Spells—could Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan also have entered the Mask of the Moon?!
Dong Chengling then continued, "February, me, Ren Xingmei."
Cha Xian'er blinked, a hint of bewilderment in her eyes.
It was then that Dong Chengling uttered the keyword that would unravel all of Cha Xian'er's confusion. She softly stroked the cat, her voice tinged with a hint of grievance, "Casanova."
At that moment, the Black Cat meowed, jumped up, and ran off.
Dong Chengling blinked, her gaze shifting from blank to lively. "Still want the cat?" she asked.
"No need, um," Cha Xian'er declined with a smile, bowing her head to continue chopping onions, though her inner world was tumultuous.
I had thought that by lifting the veil of Ren Suo's mystery, I would unveil an excitingly big secret. Now... indeed, it's a secret so infuriating it's hard to contain my rage!
Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan, Dong Chengling, Ren Xingmei... Four girls?! Two at the fourth transformation, one at the third, and one at the second?! Wait, Ren Xingmei... Ren Xingmei... Isn't she Ren Suo's sister?! What kind of situation is this? Isn't he afraid of being killed by their parents?
And Gu Yueyan—Ren Suo is a faculty member, and Gu Yueyan is a student... A teacher-student romance? Though, compared to the sibling thing, that doesn't seem like much.
When Qiao Muyi reimbursed Ren Suo's hospital fees, I had a faint premonition... but could Qiao Muyi really have been the first one he ensnared?
And Dong Chengling! Such a proud, beautiful, strong, and powerful Female Cultivator... how was she deceived by Ren Suo?
Is there no justice left in this world? Is there no law?
A profound sense of mission surged within me. If I had felt even a shred of guilt or reluctance about Ren Suo before, it has now utterly dissipated. I'm no longer just trying to subdue a Fourth-Stage Cultivator; I'm eradicating a menace for the people, carrying out the will of heaven!
Ren Suo, you're already dead!
