When facing one’s own kind, with the added premise of friendliness, it didn’t matter how thoroughly Su Li broke things down and explained them, because they would always find ways to understand.
But if he was facing someone who was not of his kind, and who obviously had extremely vast differences in thinking, then what he needed to do was speak subtly.
To what degree of subtlety?
Before discovering Adonis’s change, Su Li believed that fifty percent difference was the optimal value.
Directly reducing the factual statements by half would turn everything toward suggestion.
Just like the situation Adonis had initially described he would face.
This was the suggestive result that Su Li had derived from expressing himself in all aspects without directly stating it.
But what gave him a headache was what Adonis said afterward.
“We are enemies. You should not have said anything favorable to an enemy. Especially since before this, I had thought more than once about killing you.”
Su Li really wanted to make a questioning face, but he understood exactly what Adonis meant.
This gray crane now had his mind full of thoughts that the Queen, who belonged to the same faction as his own people, wanted him dead, while Su Li, who was in an obviously hostile position to him, wanted him to live.
And to live consciously and rationally at that.
What did it matter that Su Li had nearly killed him before?
Wasn’t it his own stupidity in underestimating this person that had led to sustaining those injuries?
Just like now—
Adonis had never felt so clear-headed before.
“Observer effect—you think I am noble and not lowly, so in your eyes, I am noble and have nothing to do with being lowly.”
“But in the Queen’s eyes, I can be noble or I can be lowly. Nobility is bestowed by her, and lowliness is the same. But if I want to transform lowliness into nobility, then I need to continuously offer loyalty like a dog, offer everything, risk life and forget death. And the final result I achieve may not develop as I imagine.”
Su Li’s expression gradually turned toward despair—
He was wrong. With Elvi as the major premise, why did he think that fifty percent dosage would make the monster beast act according to his thoughts?
It was fake, all fake!
Only ten percent was needed, at most no more than twenty percent, and the monster beast would act according to his thoughts. Once it reached thirty percent, or even the current fifty percent, everything would evolve into the other party creating a complete set of logically coherent crazy beliefs in their own mind.
Just like now, Adonis delivered the final blow to Su Li.
“Rather than placing all desires on the Queen who doesn’t take the Gray Crane clan seriously, it would be better to let the observer effect determine what you are, as you said.”
Su Li showed a despairing smile. “Is there anything else you want to say? Say it all at once.”
Su Li already knew what kind of development this would ultimately lead to, but his subconscious self-rescue thinking, which always believed there was still a possibility of salvation, would still hold onto hope before getting a completely definitive result.
“You are a god!”
“Perhaps you are not actually a god, but as you said about the observer effect, as long as I believe you are a god, then you can only be a god. If I believe gods don’t exist, then gods don’t exist, and if I believe you are a god, then you have no other possibility except being a god!”
Su Li: cursing and swearing.jpg
Su Li had ten thousand ways to explain to Adonis that he was not a god, but the gray crane would have ten thousand and one reason to tell him that he was indeed a god.
Adonis and humans had completely different ways of thinking!
Facing the same topics and the same way of speaking, although Egbert would also have various fanatical expressions of admiration, as a human, his primary concern was still Su Li’s literal meaning.
Just like “No One Understands Lord Su Li Better Than Me,” Egbert would only speculate about other possibilities behind the scenes.
With the same topics and conversations, Egbert’s primary focus would definitely be, “So Lord Su Li actually knows about such things…”
Wait, thinking this way, wasn’t it even more despairing?!
Adonis didn’t give Su Li a chance to sink into despair for long.
Of course, it was also possible that not many people could really become as perverted as Egbert.
After Adonis had confirmed Su Li’s obviously abnormal thinking, he shifted the topic to serious matters.
Su Li also fortunately returned to the main topic before the extreme social death psychology could trip him up.
Adonis: “I don’t want to dedicate myself to the Queen anymore.”
“But I also don’t plan to betray the Queen because of this.”
The gray crane walked step by step to Su Li’s side with firm steps that could be clearly heard by the human youth’s ears.
Then he half-knelt down and began to straighten Su Li’s collar.
Su Li: “……”
Adonis looked up, his pupils seeming to have flames burning fiercely within them.
Being stared at by such abnormally intense eyes, Su Li momentarily felt as if he too had gained the ability to read pie charts.
This was obviously an illusion.
Adonis stared at the buttons on Su Li’s collar and said slowly, “I will tell the Queen that Her Excellency Elvi has thoughts of rebellion, and I will have the Queen send troops to suppress her.”
“Her Excellency Elvi may still show sincere attitude toward the Queen, but Victoria will become her greatest weakness.”
“As long as His Excellency Elvi doesn’t truly want to accept the Queen’s suppression and surveillance, then Victoria’s acts of resistance that openly contradict Her Excellency Elvi’s actions are essentially just expressing Her Excellency Elvi’s rebellious heart.”
“Of course, this is just one possible development.” Adonis looked regretfully at Su Li’s collar, which had been straightened without a single wrinkle.
He maintained his half-kneeling position and said, “The most likely possibility is as you said—Her Excellency Elvi will choose to take the initiative.”
“Dragons should be proud. Individual strength, long life, countless treasures, noble bloodline, feared by countless monster beasts…”
“All these premises destined that Her Excellency Elvi could not be the kind of incompetent person who would willingly bear unfair treatment just to prove her innocence.”
“She will only choose to accept all the crimes imposed on her, then make them completely true.”
“Of course, this can also be understood as Her Excellency Elvi attempting to realize the ambitions deep in her heart.”
Adonis looked toward the buttonholes on Su Li’s chest, his gaze becoming increasingly profound.
“The Queen and Her Excellency Elvi must fight. More precisely, war must be triggered.”
“Because only when the existing structure collapses can a new structure be created.”
“The Queen won’t die so easily, and Her Excellency Elvi, as a dragon, also has vitality different from other monster beasts. So I still need to bring in external forces.”
“And ensure that the Gray Crane clan remains in an innocent, driven position on the surface.”
“I’m not the one conspiring with tigers, I’m not the one fighting for power and profit, and the triggering of war has nothing to do with me either. The final result involves my participation, but is not led by me.”
It was hard to say whether the gray crane was truly explaining his plan or wanted to gain recognition from Su Li.
Because Su Li did the same thing.
What was wonderful was that Adonis had now hidden him even deeper behind the scenes.
But even so, the gray crane’s purpose could not possibly be exposed before the Winged Tribe Queen and the dragon.
Who could know that the change originated from someone so weak they only had the strength of a ninth-level monster beast?
And even this strength was just a disguise.
Even Elvi hadn’t expected that Adonis, who had wanted to kill Su Li more than once, would choose to give the former a chance to speak.
Of course Su Li wouldn’t die, but as long as Adonis dared to make a move, the counterattack device Elvi had installed on Su Li would become evidence reflecting the Queen’s intention to move against the dragon clan.
But Adonis didn’t.
Elvi had also wondered if the one who would die in that space might be the gray crane.
After all, Adonis’s opponent was Su Li.
—The human who had warned her that Bartholomew and Leia had joined forces.
After a day and night, Elvi had people open the door of this massive Western-style building.
Su Li, who hadn’t had a drop of water, waited on one side with cracked lips, while Adonis stood crazily on the other side.
The latter kept muttering, “Must find the Queen, must go report…”
Repeating it over and over.
Compared to his previous appearance when he had spoken the entire plan to Su Li with fanatical eyes, he now looked like a truly insane person who had lost consciousness.
Elvi immediately narrowed her eyes and questioned Su Li, “What did you do?”
Su Li fell into a moment of confusion.
This question shouldn’t be asked of him.
She should ask that gray crane with explosive acting skills!
God knows what Adonis, who had finished explaining the entire plan, was thinking.
At that time he had also said: “I will make all observers who maliciously observe the Gray Crane clan understand that the correct answer will never be forcibly twisted because of some interests.”
Adonis had been half-kneeling then, holding Su Li’s shoulders with both hands, and continued: “I will also make you become a true god revered by everyone. Let your radiance shine upon every ignorant person who falsely believes in the king’s observational conclusions. Let them witness what true brilliant sunlight is.”
After the fanaticism, everything fell silent.
Su Li hadn’t given any response at all, yet Adonis seemed to read his expression and inner thoughts, making decisions on his own.
Su Li: …This is fucking ridiculous!
And no one knew better than him that explanation and debate had become useless at this point.
Su Li, bearing psychological shadows too complex to have boundaries, said irritably to Elvi, “How was I supposed to know that monster beasts were fragile enough to be driven crazy by just a few words?”
If he had known that fifty percent mental output could crush them to this degree, he wouldn’t have said a single unnecessary word.
But Elvi immediately blurted out, “Even if what you said was just a few words, what you actually expressed would only be massive amounts of information.”
Su Li: “?”
Elvi looked at Su Li, averted her gaze, and said coldly, “No one wants to be stripped bare of everything when they’ve revealed almost no information themselves.”
“Especially someone in as delicate a position as Adonis.” Elvi seemed to feel pity for the gray crane.
Already caught between the Queen and the dragon clan, now also ravaged by a human who didn’t know how destructive he could be—one could only say…
When misfortune reaches a certain level, just consider it a natural disaster.
