Arcane Lord

Therefore, Shado was convinced that the missing part in the memory of the psychic master named "Rodas" must not be true, but was hidden by some means beyond his understanding.

He believed that as long as Rodas' consciousness was completely analyzed, he should be able to find the hidden information. After all, the information could not disappear out of thin air. As long as it existed, it would definitely be found.

But what about time?

The first psychic master memory that Shado obtained was from the Mojave that attacked him in Calimshan. However, in the past few years, he has not been able to parse out all the memories of the Mojave. He can only choose what he thinks as much as possible. Might be important to parse.

The precipitation method and the context method were gradually discovered during this process.

Xia Duo was very keen on this kind of information blocking or information hiding at the level of consciousness. Even if he couldn't use it himself, others could, and the most important thing was that this method had very high research value.

And this once again proves the extraordinary achievements of Zhamdas's psychic mage in meta-thinking compilation. Once the research is thorough, more laws in the field of consciousness will be revealed.

Of course, the premise is that this method can be achieved through non-psionic means.

If it can only be realized through spiritual energy, unless spiritual energy can really be integrated with arcane magic in the future, the research significance for arcane mages will be very limited.

As for now, the direct search could not retrieve it at all, and the time for complete analysis was not enough. Xia Duo was a little distressed for a while. There was obviously a box of very sweet cakes in front of him waiting for him to eat, but the box could not be opened.

What to do!

"There must be a way!"

Soon, Xia Duo thought of a way. Since the box couldn't be opened from the outside or was difficult to open, what about from the inside?

The main purpose of this method, which he has named "Consciousness Lock", should be to prevent outsiders from snooping on certain key information in one's own consciousness, but it is definitely undefended for oneself.

In other words, as long as Rodas takes the initiative to speak, wouldn't it be possible to bypass the [Consciousness Lock]?

But then, the problem becomes——

How do you get an enemy to willingly reveal sensitive information?

After much thought, Shado decided to talk face-to-face with Rodas first, of course in the [Consciousness Cage], which was the copy of the opponent's consciousness that he copied.

In fact, he has always had a question, that is, since psionic mages have spiritual abilities, what kind of existence does the real soul look like to those psionic mages?

If self-awareness alone can change reality, can self-awareness alone sustain its own existence?

Xia Duo has undergone many bloodline awakenings, which has caused earth-shaking changes in his own bloodline. He can exist independently with only his consciousness, which is the "Sustenance of Heaven and Earth" in the bloodline ability.

Entrust yourself to the heaven and earth, existing between existence and non-existence. In this state, the body and soul will disappear, leaving only your own consciousness to control the world.

And it is very simple to change back. As long as a thought is given, his body will naturally appear from all the phenomena of heaven and earth, and the same goes for his soul.

He himself can maintain his own existence with his own consciousness alone, but this is his bloodline ability, not everyone has it, and he has never tried to copy his complete consciousness, it is all abridged and intellectual. The essence is a cluster of copies of his consciousness.

What about psionic mages?

If the complete consciousness of a psychic mage is copied, will this consciousness think that it is the original body, and can even continue to possess spiritual power?

There is no doubt whether the consciousness copy will think that it is the original body. Sha Duo has performed similar operations on many enemies in the past, and even now has many consciousness copies in his collection.

Those copies of consciousness will indeed think that they are the original body!

But it's hard to say whether the copy of consciousness can continue to possess psychic powers. After all, Sha Duo has never made a copy of the consciousness of a psionic mage before.

According to the idealistic rules of spiritual energy, the copy of consciousness should be able to continue to possess spiritual energy. Once this thing is awakened, it will be difficult to get rid of it.

But this is still a real world after all. If there is no body and no soul, can spiritual energy really be born out of thin air?

When Plitatis introduced the race of astral invaders before, he mentioned the growth process of the mind flayers. Although it was strange enough, upon closer inspection, the physical body seemed to be indispensable.

…

Thinking like this, Sha Duo decided to take the risk to meet Rodas. Of course, his so-called risk was just to let Rodas run away. Anyway, two psychic masters had escaped by death before, so Not bad for this one.

Moreover, it is still unknown whether the consciousness copy can continue to possess psychic powers. Even if it possesses psychic powers, escaping from the Tower of Time's heavy defenses is no less difficult than attacking the Tower of Time head-on.

And that’s even when the Tower of Time is within the protection of the floating city Chang’an!

If Xia Duo didn't dare to try it under such circumstances, then he would be ashamed of his arcane magic skills!

…

Soon, Xia Duo completed the layout of a brand new interrogation environment, not in the Tower of Time, but in the Floating City. After all, the floating city built later has a complete laboratory environment.

And in terms of protection, it is not inferior to that of the Tower of Time.

He first constructed a highly detailed virtual scene in the [Conscious Cage] based on his own subconscious sensory information and detection spell feedback, which was the cave where Rodas and others were hiding.

Without the help of tools or magic, ordinary people would be unable to tell the truth from falsehood in such a scenario.

Of course, for psionic mages, the original cave had been transformed by them, and there were many traces of psionic energy, which Sha Duo could not simulate, but whether the copy of consciousness had psionic energy was another question.

If so, the worst possible outcome is to change to a consciousness copy. The biggest significance of the copy is that it can be reopened repeatedly. If it doesn't work this time, just try it again.

Therefore, Rodas' copy of consciousness must not be used for the first face-to-face inquiry, because Shado first needs to confirm whether the copy of consciousness has psychic powers.

If not, then Rodas can really let him flatten and round it. He can repeatedly check the progress of a certain interrogation until the other party is willing to take the initiative to reveal the hidden information.

Even if possible, we can make an online game that is connected to the computing power pool, allowing all users to interrogate Rodas online. Each user can be assigned a copy. If one user asks, it will be equal to Xia Duo. Asked.

This solution is indeed feasible, but it is very difficult to implement, not because of technical reasons, but because once he really proposes such an idea, he will be an evil mind peeper in the eyes of other arcane mages.

Although there is no immediate shouting and killing, keeping a respectful distance is something that is likely to happen.

And once he mentions this matter, he will probably say goodbye to his status as the leader of the alliance. There is no hope at all. No one wants a person who likes to peek into their souls to become a leader.

Therefore, this kind of thing can only be done, not said, and it must be done skillfully so as not to conform to the facts. ()
