Lord God Investigator

The shape-shifting girl said tremblingly: "Later...the more I performed, the more I found that I couldn't leave the stage. If I didn't go on stage for a day, I would feel uncomfortable all over. I couldn't stop wanting to go on stage..."

Not only was she feeling uncomfortable all over and unable to stop, but she put on a slutish look and licked Luo Feng's boots and was kicked to the ground so many times that she could not count.

"That is to say, you fell in love with the feeling of performing on stage, showing your acting talents to people, and receiving human applause and love?"

Elminster asked thoughtfully.

"It can also be said that the main thing is that I like the feeling of elation. It's so comfortable and happy. This sense of satisfaction transcends my nature and makes me make changes. Without that feeling, I simply can't live. "

The shapeshifter showed a longing expression, recalling the pleasure after taking drugs, and said with great emotion.

The old sage took out his notebook and wrote: "Successful performances can make people (or monsters) feel great satisfaction and happiness. The admiration of everyone can greatly motivate the performers. This is like the sense of accomplishment a hero feels after completing an epic poem. It makes people intoxicated and full of motivation.”

He drew an important line on "the admiration of all". As a naturalist, Elminster has studied various creatures in Faerûn, including shapeshifters.

Creatures like shapeshifters have very peculiar habits. They are like parasites. They can only parasitize among other races. They cannot form a large ethnic group of their own, let alone build cities and form a civilization inheritance.

This is very strange. The intelligence of shapeshifters is not low, and their combat power is not bad. In the history of Faerun, even kobolds and goblins whose racial qualities are far inferior to shapeshifters can establish countries, but there have never been any shapeshifters. country.

Is it the nature of this monster to deceive and bluff, to fool other races?

Although they clearly have good racial qualities, they can only cause trouble among other races and destroy the racial civilization they parasitize. This kind of creature is simply a loser in the evolutionary process. Their population can never expand to the point where it is superior to other ethnic groups.

Compared with solitary dragons, shapeshifters are too weak. For a group whose individuals are not as powerful as dragons, wouldn't it be true that the more individuals that gather together to build cities and civilizations and inherit culture, the more they have a future?

This creature is like a failed attempt by the Creator, who maliciously designed such unreasonable racial characteristics for them.

The answer of the shapeshifting girl in front of him gave the old sage a little inspiration. Living things can affect the environment, and the environment can also affect living things. If the shapeshifting monsters make contributions to the human race and gain real recognition, will they be affected by it? Will this satisfaction be greater than the sense of accomplishment they get from successfully fooling and destroying the civilization they are parasitizing?

Transformers are not viruses and bacteria that have not evolved their brains. Killing the host is not a rational move for intelligent creatures. Living in harmony with the host and promoting each other is the long-term solution.

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable the old sage felt, and he continued to ask: "Are the same for your two kin?"

The shapeshifting girl looked back at Fernanden and Lilith, who were limp as mud, and nodded: "They are the same, they like that feeling very much, and it will be very painful if they don't go on stage for a day, especially Lilith, who wants to commit suicide many times. "

Elminster was overjoyed and asked: "If other members of your race were also trained to perform on stage, would they also gain great satisfaction like you and devote themselves wholeheartedly to their performance career?"

The old sage was very much looking forward to the shapeshifter girl nodding in agreement. If the training of shapeshifters as actors can be promoted, then the fate of a parasitic group known for its evil will undergo a huge change.

The people of Faerûn will no longer treat the shapeshifters as a must-kill target. The shapeshifters have found a career that truly belongs to them. They no longer aim to create disasters as their survival goal, and are accepted by other ethnic groups. They have transformed from evil parasites to offering exquisite art. Performing family groups of performers.

This is a win-win situation. If the transformation is successful, the Harper Alliance can even absorb members of the shapeshifters from the neutral camp. The shapeshifters, as natural undercover agents, can provide great assistance to the Harper Alliance's secret operations!

When Elminster was young, he might have been ruthless and murderous, but now he sees things from a higher perspective.

In his eyes, any kind of intelligent life on the continent of Faerûn is precious and has its own unknown laws to follow. Countless creatures of all kinds come together to form a key link in the multiverse.

Instead of worrying about shapeshifters causing harm to human civilization, he is more worried about the complete extinction of shapeshifters. If this strange creature disappears, it will be a great harm to the balance and harmony of the world.

The shapeshifting girl fell into thinking. She thought for a long time. The old sage also knew that her question was difficult, so he waited patiently for her answer.

To his regret, the shapeshifting girl shook her head after the long test.

"It's impossible. Even if my kind puts on a stage and puts on a successful performance, winning people's cheers and admiration, they are complacent and devise vicious strategies to entrap those who love them."

"Why did the three of you undergo such a transformation, while your kindred spirits remain unchanged?"

Elminster asked in confusion.

"Because of Lord Bradlow's teachings."

The shape-shifting girl didn't even think about it, and said matter-of-factly: "He is so strict, yet tender in his severity, just like a father, spurring us, caring for us, our love for him... wu wu..."

As she spoke, she choked with sobs, as if she was remembering the countless "beautiful" moments when she changed the concept of strange creatures under the guidance of Bradero, with tears in her eyes, sincere feelings, and true feelings!

Suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, the shape-shifter had been beaten by Luo Feng long ago and his memory was confused. The painful experience was distorted and turned into a strict father-like spur. Later, the small favors he gave them became a great kindness.

In their minds, Luo Feng is the saint who rescued them from the sea of ​​suffering, the mentor who gave them a new life, and the great leader who gave them new goals.

This feeling is so real that even psychologists in the real world cannot understand why the persecuted person falls in love with the abuser. The harder the abuse, the deeper the love.

To treat this kind of mental illness requires long-term psychological intervention and help, but even so, some patients who have been deeply affected will have difficulty getting rid of this distorted psychology throughout their lives.

The shapeshifting family is already in the late stages of Stockholm Syndrome and has long been terminally ill. There are no psychiatrists in Faerûn. If they want to cure the disease, they can only wait until they are given a good pregnancy in the next life.

Elminster has never even heard of the term "Stockholm Syndrome". How could he know that there would be such a weird psychological problem? With his extremely high perception, he can judge that the shapeshifting girl in front of him is telling the truth. , and his feelings for Bradero are also very deep and sincere.

It turns out that Bradlow was the one who changed the nature of the three-headed monster!

As an engineer of the shape-shifting soul, Luo Feng skillfully used a combination of physics and chemistry to reshape Monroe's soul, transforming a fallen evil soul into an artist's soul.

The old sage suddenly thought that this artist is great. He has achieved great artistic achievements, and his personality is so powerful that he can influence monsters and make them realize the sense of accomplishment of creating wonderful works of art!
