Although it wasn't as convenient as the Arcane Eye, Lin had already integrated the relevant magic principles into his own magic system. Although the detection range wasn't very long, only one or two meters away, he could observe and record all kinds of environmental information, including the vital signs within the range.
Besides, there were a lot of profound knowledge about psychology that wasn't his specialty, but after watching so many movies, he had some understanding of the principles of lie detectors. A more sophisticated way to play than lie detectors was to determine what the other party was reacting to based on the subtle changes in their vital signs, so as to guess the other party's unspeakable secrets.
As for his previous speculation that certain people's deaths would automatically trigger certain groups of people, he had only read about it in some anime and novels before his transmigration. After coming to the maze, Lin hadn't read any knowledge about magic.
However, just because there wasn't any public knowledge about magic didn't mean that there wasn't any research on it. Speaking of which, most necromancy magic wasn't publicized by the Society of Sorcerers, but the Lich and necromancers were still everywhere.
So, for safety's sake, Lin stopped the Lich from taking any further action. It couldn't be helped. He had seen how she "interrogated" people in the Association of Thieves in Pilsen City. If he didn't have any ideas and preparations, he would have wasted that experience.
Then, as luck would have it, the Lich did have a trick up her sleeve. If he hadn't stopped the Lich, he would have alerted the Lich.
However, how could Fen accept a certain someone's words unconditionally? So, she still held the Battleship Slicing Saber in her hand, waiting for an explanation.
Of course, Lin knew what the person in front of him was waiting for. So, he grabbed the person who was bound by the Immortal-Binding Rope from the ground, lifted him up, and firmly tied Pendas' hands behind his back with a real rope. At the same time, he said, "Do you remember the psychology I told you about? People can lie very easily, but there are also differences in the technique of lying. Some people could tell the same lie without batting an eyelid, but some people would start to stammer at the beginning of the story. Then, are there more subtle features that can be observed to show evidence that a person is lying? Of course there are, and there are many of them. The sudden acceleration of his heartbeat, the abnormal enlargement and constriction of his pupils, the night sweats, the involuntary trembling of his body, the drifting of his gaze, the changes in the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth, any abnormal characteristics all pointed to one thing: he was guilty. Of course, there's nothing wrong with asking the soul directly like you did. But if we really meet an innocent person, then we still have to think of a way to resurrect him. It seems quite troublesome. "
"Well, if you say these words in front of others, will this trick still work?"
"That's the interesting part. What I'm talking about are all nerve reflexes that belong to the human body. Perhaps a talented person, after a lot of training, could consciously control these reactions. But the vast majority of people, and I mean more than 99% of people, even if they know the content, they can't stop others from observing their own psychological changes through it. "
"Prove it to me." Fen, whose attitude had softened slightly, stopped the operation of the Battleship Slicing Saw Blade. At the same time, he lowered the blade and did not raise it again.
"Prove it." Saying that, Lin pinched Hanen Society's fat cheeks from behind and asked close to his ear: "After listening to me talk so much, you should know what I want to do. So, here's the question. Is the ability to notify your companions a magic that you actively used, or a prop? Well, it seems to be a prop. So, what is it? " He glanced at the other party's parts, "– is it a ring? Damaged clothes? You're wearing chain mail? Hidden a signal flare that can notify others? Forged from magic materials, false teeth that can be crushed at any time? Necklace? Well, it's a necklace. You should have said so earlier. You made me guess so much. "
A certain person was talking to himself. The battle was already over. The onlookers had a feeling of absurdity. In fact, what Lin said was very simple, but the content was unbelievable. However, the Lich was not included in these people.
She, who was familiar with a certain person's magic style, had a certain degree of understanding and application of everything that Lin grasped. Fen could also observe the changes that Lin spoke of. Therefore, she listed them one by one: "Cold sweat on the forehead, sudden acceleration of the heartbeat, and instantaneous dilation of the pupils. Of course, more obvious than these are the sudden widening of the eyes and the sudden stiffening of the body muscles. Are these the characteristics you spoke of? I also noticed that his chrysanthemum suddenly tightened. Does this count? "
"Chrysanthemum … I say, how did you observe this?"
"The bioelectricity all over his body is flowing abnormally, which can be observed from the weak electromagnetic wave changes in his body. According to my previous experimental experience, a large amount of bioelectricity can be understood as a manifestation of muscle contraction. Then, the most concentrated point of the bioelectricity is … "Although Fen didn't finish her words, but she pointed to her buttocks. At the same time, she put the Battleship Slicing Saw Blade on her back and no longer held it in her hand.
A certain transmigrator was speechless about a certain Lich's observation. "I say, Elder Sister, your research is so high-end that even my hometown can't imagine it. Who would throw a person into a machine to do an MRI for the sake of lie detection? " Shaking his head, Lin reached into Pendas' collar, "… Let's not talk about this. How do you think the matter of this necklace should be resolved? Hmm, don't tell me you didn't bring the necklace? "
While he was doubting himself, Lin pulled out a wooden tablet tied with a string. Because he didn't understand the principle, he didn't dare to rashly take off the necklace. Instead, he asked the Lich, who was more knowledgeable than him.
Fen wasn't so cautious. She pulled off the necklace, looked at the wooden card left and right, and said: "So that's how it works. This can be considered a trick. "
"Trick? What do you mean? "
Holding the broken string, Lin could clearly see the wooden card hanging from the necklace. Fen said: "This is a method of concluding an Abyss Contract to achieve the purpose you spoke of. The characteristic of this contract is that the soul is used as a bargaining chip. After the death of a person, the soul will be handed over to the other party of the contract, usually to a devil or fiend. As the carrier of the contract, it will burn, proving that the contract has been fulfilled. This is one of a pair of wooden cards. The content of the contract doesn't specify who the soul will be sold to, but it will still burn the carrier after the death of the person. Perhaps this is the warning method you mentioned. "
"Well, then, can it be cracked? This kind of contract seems to be very difficult to deal with. "
"Do you know the difference between a contract signed with a devil and a contract signed with a devil?"
"One is with a devil, the other is with a devil?"
… Fen decided to ignore the man's answer and said: "A devil's contract, they will try their best to smuggle in some clauses you don't want. Those seemingly meaningless patterns may be the written form of a certain race. As long as it can be explained, they will regard it as part of the contract and require the signatory to abide by it. I can talk about the various tricks of devils for three days and three nights. However, devils are different. They will try their best to distort the meaning of the words. As long as there is a little relationship involved and there is no explicit prohibition, they will choose to interpret and do things that are beneficial to them. If you want to play word games with them, the devils have a unique trick, which is to tear up the contract on the grounds that you violate it. In other words, there is a way to tear up a contract that uses the soul as a bargaining chip. I am familiar with this because I used to do it. However, I don't recommend you to do this because tearing up the contract is like choosing to fight with the other party. If you are not strong enough, it is very common to be swallowed until not even your bones are left. This is also the reason why the devils dare to tear up the contract unilaterally, because most humans can't afford to have a real fight with them. However, if you are strong enough, they can be a good coolie. "
Regarding this person's speech, a certain someone always thought of the Jinhui Emperor's famous saying, "Why not eat meat?" Talking to this kind of person would really make him so angry that his brain would explode. In order to prevent himself from having a stroke, Lin pulled the topic back on track and asked: "After talking for so long, can this thing be removed?"
"Yes, it's simple. Do you want me to burn all the similar contract carriers that are related to this contract in one go? "
"I say, Elder Sister, what's the difference between doing this and directly telling the other party 'I'm up to no good.' So help me, just remove it normally and don't let anyone find out. "
"Is that so? What a pity." Showing an exaggerated expression of disappointment, Fen waved her hand and the wooden sign burned, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the wooden sign burn to nothing, Lin didn't care if there were any side effects. In any case, he had told this Lich everything he needed to pay attention to. If there was still a problem and the other party found out, then he would be prepared to be found out. This was nothing, but it would be more troublesome. He picked up the core member of the Hanen Society who was scared silly and asked: "Since the crisis is over, how do you plan to interrogate this person? Kill him and directly ask him in his soul state? "
"No, let's just use your method. I want to observe more and accumulate some experimental data … Oh right! Don't tell me you usually look at us like this? "
Suddenly, it was a trap question. Lin hurriedly laughed and said: "It's rare to be muddle-headed, muddle-headed. I don't distinguish truth from falsehood. That's too tiring. Besides, there's no benefit in listening to the truth. Besides, this method of judgment varies from person to person. It's difficult to generalize. Because of this, it's necessary to observe a lot of indicators, compare the difference between truth and lies, and find a unique judgment method for each person. Only then can it be possible to distinguish truth from lies. Who would do this to the people around them? No matter how easy it is to collect relevant data, it's not like this. "
Fen put on an expression of obvious disbelief. Lin laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject, saying: "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of Juyan Hanen? Let's go to the side and ask him slowly until we're satisfied. … "
At the same time, Lin turned his head and yelled: "… Hey, girl, clean up this place. In any case, it's a road with people coming and going. So what if a bunch of people died? Also, kill the horses. Don't let them run back. If they go back without horses, even if they don't know that there's a problem, they should find it. "
