At first glance, it looked like a Demonic Air Ripping Eye that had been magnified several times. In other words, it was a huge eyeball covered in tentacles.
However, the giant eye was wrapped in a layer of extremely tough muscles.
Outside the muscles, there was a membrane covered in wrinkles, making it look like a giant eyeball, a fusion of a brain and a heart.
It relied on dozens of flexible tentacles to wrap around the objects in front of it and drag its body forward.
Although its ball-shaped body was slightly bloated, its speed was not slow at all.
When it arrived at the center of the abandoned train station, it shot out a dozen tentacles in all directions, dragging its body and floating in midair.
Its entire body was emitting a demonic aura and a light that could captivate one's soul.
At the same time all the insects worshiped him, Meng Chao shuddered in fear.
"The Demonic Abyss Eye! “
A terrifying name rose in Meng Chao's mind.
This was the name of one of the Nine Great Fey Gods in the memories of his previous life.
In his previous life, Meng Chao's research toward the Supernatural Entities was limited.
But after his fate was intertwined with Qin Hu and the White Spirit's, he went online to search for some information.
The Demonic Abyss Eye, one of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities, was said to be the ultimate evolved form of the Demonic Air Ripping Eye, a superbeast with mind attacks. It had also absorbed a lot of the abilities of monsters that were skilled in mind control, such as brain-rotting insects. It was a mind control expert, and its ability to bewitch people was even stronger than the White Spirit, the Nine-tailed Illusion Wolf.
The creature in front of Meng Chao had a unique appearance and exquisite bones. It was most likely the Demonic Abyss Eye.
Just as he expected, once Meng Chao made this guess, Kindling jumped at the corner of his eye, and a notification popped up.
[Increased progress of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities by 3%. Current progress: 25%.
"The moment this guy appeared, he unlocked 3% of the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities. It's indeed the Demonic Abyss Eye!"
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he quickly recalled the information he read in his previous life.
It was said that the Demonic Abyss Eye had a very unique soul technique.
It could infinitely magnify the deepest thoughts of humans.
Usually, monsters skilled in mind control and mind attacks would use fear to destroy a person's mental defenses, hypnotize them, create illusions so that they would be unable to free themselves from nightmares, or use parasites like Brain-infesting Worms to crawl into a person's body and stimulate the secretion of all sorts of hormones to physically change or destroy a person's cerebral cortex, and so on.
These simple and crude methods had their own limitations and flaws.
Creating illusions could confuse people for a while, but when the illusions continuously violated the laws of physics, it was very easy for humans to see through them.
If they used fear to destroy a human's mental defenses, they might be fended off by impassioned war songs and the determination to fight a common enemy. In fact, when everyone was united, their brainwaves would be reflected back at them and cause damage to the monsters.
Hypnosis, brainwashing, and even using parasites to physically control the human brain could turn humans into the monsters' tools.
However, the people who were hypnotized would either be muddle-headed or have a drastic change in their temperament, turning them into walking corpses. At most, they would be able to carry out one-time destruction missions. It was impossible for them to carry out long-term, complicated infiltration missions.
The Demonic Abyss Eye's methods far surpassed these third-class skills.
Everyone's mind was filled with all kinds of wild thoughts.
When they passed by a bank, they might imagine that they could teleport to the vault remotely, steal a large batch of high-purity crystals, and then run away without alarming anyone.
When they saw the opposite sex that was full of charm, they would also imagine the passionate scene of entering and exiting, dripping with sweat.
When they clashed with others, their anger would soar to the heavens, and they would even give birth to a strong killing intent.
Even the kindest person could not avoid having the most evil thoughts in the depths of their minds.
However, normal people were rational and knew how to use morals, laws, and all sorts of social customs to restrain their actions.
When they saw a charming beauty at a junction, their thoughts would run wild, and they would even think about the name of their child. But when they passed by the next junction, they would toss the beauty and child to the back of their minds. That was what normal people did.
At the end of the day, thinking about it was not against the law.
But the Demonic Abyss Eye's skill could find and activate the thoughts in the depths of a person's heart. It could turn those thoughts into a brand that could not be wiped off.
The people who were branded with a soul brand would gradually become obsessed with a certain dark and evil thought. They would repeatedly strengthen that thought, and they would become more and more extreme. In the end, they would walk down the path of breaking the law and never turn back.
After all, this thought came from humans.
Hence, humans would not feel like they were being brainwashed.
They could even retain their original minds, personalities, and memories. When it came to work, life, cultivation, and daily interpersonal relationships, they would not be any different from their past selves.
Only the dark thoughts continued replicating, infecting, and spreading like a virus. In the end, they filled Meng Chao's entire mind, and when the Demonic Abyss Eye needed them, they exploded!
'I see. I understand now. Lin Chuan's transformation isn't entirely due to the White Spirit. After all, at that time, the White Spirit had just been born, and its abilities were still very weak. It could only communicate with people's minds and create some illusions.
"Similarly, Gao Ye and even Zhou Tianshui were bewitched by the Demonic Abyss Eye. They endlessly magnified a certain thought in the depths of their hearts, and in the end, they unknowingly turned into the abnormal beast's puppets! “
Honestly speaking, Lin Chuan and Gao Ye's thoughts were not wrong.
Ever since Extraordinaires appeared and kept getting stronger, a powerful and privileged class that stood above ordinary people had appeared out of nowhere.
At the same time they defended Dragon City, they continued expanding the power of their families and businesses, which would lead to the solidification of the social strata and the narrowing of the channels for rising up the ranks. It was definitely not a good thing for Dragon City's future.
Lin Chuan hoped to pour more resources into the education of the normal people so that the schools the normal people studied in would have the facilities of the private schools the descendants of the superhumans studied in. They would also have good teachers, high-calorie nutritional meals, and other cultivation conditions. That way, the descendants of the normal people would have a way out, hope, and a chance to compete fairly. It would also make Dragon City more harmonious in the future.
Gao Ye saw that once the superhumans' strength continued growing, they would gradually lose their balance. He was worried that the superhumans in the future would continue being corrupted, go through metamorphosis, and fall from grace. They would no longer care about the lives of normal people. In fact, they might even turn around and oppress normal people. That was why he hoped that normal people could have the means to keep the superhumans in check and use the power of monsters to contribute to Dragon City and human civilization.
In fact, Zhou Tianshui's ideals were to tighten his belt and pour most of the resources into conquering the outside world. As long as the pie became bigger, the internal problems would naturally be solved. Compared to the tempting pie, temporarily tightening one's belt was nothing!
Was there anything wrong with these three ideals?
Meng Chao felt that even if there were some problems in the details, they were not major mistakes. They could be brought to the table and discussed normally. The more the truth was debated, the clearer it would become. Perhaps after intense discussions, all sorts of ideals would fuse together, and that would be the bright path that Dragon City should take in the future.
But under the bewitchment of the Demonic Abyss Eye, they took the extreme path.
No matter how correct a thought was, once it was pushed to the extreme, it would lead to catastrophic consequences. In fact, even the correct thought itself would become incredibly monstrous.
This was what the monsters wanted.
"We almost succeeded!"
While he was thinking about this, Meng Chao suddenly heard a scream.
It was Zhou Tianshui.
He was not dead yet, but Meng Chao had injured him. He crawled out from among the pests. His face was covered in blood, but his crazed eyes were revealed. It was as if his ideals were filled with the most extreme ideals of the Colonization Party, and he did not have the time to care about just how strange it was for him to work with monsters.
He staggered and squeezed his way to the Demonic Abyss Eye.
The Demonic Abyss Eye extended a few tentacles to gently soothe his wounds.
It moaned in comfort and flailed its limbs. "We almost succeeded. It's all because of that brat, but it's fine. We've already captured him. As long as we cut him into pieces and grind his bones to dust, we can come up with an even more meticulous plan. We'll definitely be able to destroy the Home Party and let Dragon City walk down the right path!" “
By "that brat", he was naturally referring to Meng Chao.
The Demonic Abyss Eye looked in the direction he was pointing.
Meng Chao immediately sensed a strange power scanning his body and brain.
He quickly activated Walking Corpse and adjusted his breathing, heartbeat, and the functions of his organs to the point where he was heavily injured and on the verge of death.
He also emptied his mind and allowed the soul-stealing war drums from hell to ring in his head. He forced himself not to use his mind to fight against the Demonic Abyss Eye in case he revealed the trump card he could only use at the critical moment.
The Demonic Abyss Eye only stared at him for three seconds.
But those three seconds were torture for Meng Chao, and each second felt like a year.
Just when he was about to lose control and the great mental power from the apocalypse surged out like a flood to clash against the Demonic Abyss Eye …
The Demonic Abyss Eye looked away.
It extended more tentacles to gently wrap around Zhou Tianshui and soothe him.
Meng Chao sighed in relief.
But he felt that the Demonic Abyss Eye's actions were really strange, as if it had a unique hobby.
In the beginning, Zhou Tianshui enjoyed it very comfortably.
But as more tentacles wrapped around him and tightened around him, he sucked in sharp breaths in pain, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong. "Wait, don't —"
It was too late.
The Demonic Abyss Eye's dozens of tentacles had already wrapped around him and sent him to the bottom of his body.
In the beginning, Meng Chao could still hear Zhou Tianshui's pained screams and shouts of puzzlement. "Why? Didn't we agree on this? "
Soon, the only sounds left were the sounds of bones cracking, slurping, and all sorts of other sounds that Meng Chao did not want to think about in detail.
After a moment, the Demonic Abyss Eye let go of the blood-stained tentacles.
Zhou Tianshui had already disappeared.
"Idiot, to the abnormal beasts, your greatest value is that you can hide in Blue Home.
"But now, your true colors have been revealed to the world. Not only will you not be able to hide anymore, you might even be captured by the research department and interrogated for the secrets of the Demonic Abyss Eye.
"Even if the abnormal beasts come up with another scheme, you won't be of any use. You'll only bring trouble. What's the point of keeping you around?"
Meng Chao sighed in his heart.
It was for the fatty who once wore a long robe from Earth, got drunk, and recited ancient poems.
