Arcane Lord

After seeing Xia Duo appear, Coulit's originally scattered eyes suddenly became focused. He glared at Xia Duo and poured out a series of vicious words that should not have come out of the elf's mouth.

There is no doubt that Xia Duo got the first piece of information before the formal interrogation began - this guy had an affair with drow, and at least he had stayed in the Underdark for a while, otherwise how could he curse so fluently!

Xia Duo looked at the other party with interest, as if it was not him whom the other party was madly insulting at the moment, and his calm and even almost theatrical attitude irritated the other party even more.

All kinds of unpleasant remarks came out of the other party's mouth again.

Although Xia Duo actually didn't care about the howling of the defeated dog, he couldn't help but feel angry when he heard those fancy curses. He couldn't help but snorted, "It's just the power of words!"

The really difficult interrogation subjects are not the prisoners who keep shouting and swearing, but the prisoners who are always silent and silent.

Now that the other party is willing to speak, what is Xia Duo's dissatisfaction with? It won't work if he just keeps scolding and can't bring new information.

It's just that he can "reset time" at any time. As long as it doesn't repeat, he can keep listening and treat it as learning the taunting technique.

Although Xia Duo had transformed into a drow before, there were not many opportunities for him to actually yell at him, and he had very few experiences.

The so-called experience is actually that the language of the drow itself carries various insults. Learning the language of the drow (variant Elvish) is basically equivalent to having a basic database of taunting terms.

The great thing about the golden elf named "Colite" in front of him is that he uses Elvish language throughout the whole process, and can also show a taunting effect that is not inferior to that of Drow language, or even better.

If a real elf came to interrogate, I'm afraid the first few reset opportunities would still be here.

But as time passed, even if the curses were not repeated, Coulit realized the simple truth that too much words lead to mistakes, so he just stared at Xia Duo fiercely and stopped yelling.

"Why don't you scold me? I was quite energetic just now!"

When it came to Xia Duo's turn, he didn't do anything else. He just changed the content of Colit's previous scolding and said it again.

There is no doubt that when he heard the almost identical curses coming out of Xia Duo's mouth, Colit instantly broke his defense. Although he still maintained the last trace of sanity, he still gasped from his nostrils. Rough.

Seeing this, Xia Duo added fuel to the fire. Since he could "reset time" anyway, he didn't care about throwing out his trump card at will, "With this little ability, you still want to murder the crowned king?"

After all, he has been trained as a drow, and Xia Duo's basic acting skills are quite good. Although there is no wave in his heart at the moment, he still interprets a look of disdain very vividly.

"What do you know! If not-"

As soon as Coulit said something, he immediately realized that he had been tricked. At the same time, he quickly calmed down and looked at Xia Duo coldly without saying a word.

For Xia Duo, even just one sentence was enough to conjure up a lot of things. There was no doubt that the other party did have the idea of ​​​​murdering King Mian.

There is a high probability that he is the crowned king of Uvelun, and not just a raid on the library.

"Haha, you're done, you're all done!"

Xia Duo knew that if he continued to stimulate, he might be able to ask something else, but now that the other party was on guard, it would be a waste of time, and one of the main reasons why he was so anxious to interrogate was to see the specific process of "time reset" what does it look like.

The identification technique speculates that it may be to destroy the "projection of projection" in front of you and create a new one, but the actual situation remains to be seen. In addition, the most critical creation process also needs further exploration.

…

Then, Xia Duo removed his perception without hesitation, and at the same time used the [Appraisal Technique] again. This time he not only simulated various effects on the static magic weapon, but focused on the effect of the appraisal technique during the use of the magic weapon. Various feedback from the sandbox.

This would further lead him to reveal the nature of this cage of consciousness.

With the construction of the simulation sandbox completed, Shado cast an additional detection spell, integrating Xilin's incarnation's special control over the magic network, striving to restore the entire process from the most detailed and comprehensive perspective.

After that, he activated the reset function of the consciousness cage. For a moment, Sha Duo noticed that the aura representing Colit's true essence suddenly dimmed a little, and he failed to recover after that.

It seems that this consciousness projection is not infinitely divisible!

It's just that Xia Duo still couldn't see clearly this reset process. Everything seemed to be wrapped in a black box, and he only knew the initial state and the end state.

As for the intermediate process, the data in the resetting process cannot be accurately restored only once, and it may even take several times to restore it. Xia Duo is not sure.

After thinking about it, he decided to continue the verification. After waiting for a while, he chose the same interval as before to enter the illusion in the consciousness cage.

And still maintains exactly the same operation as before——

Appear in front of Colit as Athos, and then wait for the other party's reaction.

As expected, the other party still chose to curse, but what was unexpected was that the content of Colit's curse was exactly the same as before!

Colit had no way of knowing what his other copy of consciousness had experienced. Everything was just the other person's instinctive reaction.

Others might not think there is anything wrong, but Shado believes in the existence of free will, which means that even if faced with the exact same scenario, free will may react differently.

If Colit yelled at the beginning, it might be some kind of inevitable reaction of free will on a macro level, but every subsequent yell was almost the same. If it was exactly the same as the last "time loop", it would be difficult for Xia Duo I believe free will is at play here.

In other words, if all variables are eliminated, the other party is just an artificial intelligence made up of various memories and thinking patterns!

It is similar to the tower spirit created by Sha Duo in the main plane.

It's just that when Master Nese created the tower spirit, he deliberately erased part of the consciousness from the source of the spell he cast. The tower spirit is not a complete copy of the caster's consciousness.

But what’s special about Colite is!

Only then did Xia Duo finally understand what he had vaguely felt was wrong before - he had been ignoring the existence of himself, defaulting to the fact that the copy of consciousness owned himself, and imprisoning the copy of consciousness was equivalent to imprisoning himself.

But in fact, soul-consciousness-self are existences at completely different levels. Self is closer to a concept than to something that actually exists.

Consciousness, like will, is an attribute of the soul. It can affect the self through them, but it cannot in the projection plane. At least with Sha Duo's ability, he can completely let himself go when the projection consciousness is imprisoned, thus Return safely to the main plane.
