Using his Ultra Perception, Angor could clearly sense Behemoth's emotional changes.
Behemoth's emotions drove its thoughts. Even if Angor couldn't read its thoughts directly, he could still tell what was going on by observing the details.
Angor was sure that Behemoth wasn't an idiot.
However, he couldn't tell if Behemoth was as smart as Pi Feifei.
But from Zigua's words, Angor knew that Behemoth was probably pretending that its brain was damaged. With this "disguise" in mind, it was clear that the Behemoth was hiding a secret.
Perhaps, this secret is its "intelligence and wisdom"? Or, as Lui Yiji said, "atavism"?
While Angor was observing Behemoth, Behemoth also peeked at Angor with its beady eyes.
It felt that this man was looking at it strangely, as if … he could see through its thoughts.
Also, Angor noticed that Behemoth's energy was the most unique among all the people here.
It was a mysterious energy.
Behemoth lowered its head and didn't dare to look at Angor for too long. It felt that Angor would notice something if it kept looking.
Unbeknownst to Behemoth, Angor's Beyonder Perception was fully activated, which allowed him to see every change in Behemoth's expression.
At first, Angor wasn't interested in Behemoth. He only thought of it as a little hamster with some secrets. However, he also noticed that Behemoth's emotions were fluctuating when looking at him, which piqued his interest a little.
[You're scared of me? ]
Behemoth lowered its head and tried to figure out what was going on. Suddenly, a voice spoke in its mind.
It was stunned for a second and instinctively wanted to turn its head around to observe its surroundings. But soon, it seemed to have thought of something and forcibly restrained itself from doing so. It lowered its head in silence.
Behemoth didn't show anything on its face, so no one noticed it.
However, Behemoth couldn't hide its emotions.
Angor saw Behemoth's panic and how it tried to suppress its emotions.
Angor shook his head and continued using his spirit power. [I know you can understand. Let's talk. Why are you scared of me? ]
While speaking, he crouched down and moved his face closer to the cage. In the eyes of Pi Xi and the others, Angor seemed to be observing Behemoth. But only Behemoth knew how much pressure Angor was exerting on it. He was threatening her.
Behemoth still did not speak. It silently muttered in its heart, He is tricking me. The ringed castle has a spirit. He did not use any energy, so it is impossible for him to detect the abnormality.
He didn't know what Behemoth was thinking, but he could tell that Behemoth was trying to hypnotize itself.
He forced his fluctuating emotions to calm down.
However, the calmer it was, the more one could see the ocean currents surging beneath his sea of consciousness. "You think I'm tricking you?" Angor asked again. "
Behemoth didn't say anything. It even slowly returned to its original nest. It looked like it was preparing to rest.
Seeing this, Luigi muttered, "This guy seems to have accepted his fate. "
After all, if the inventor mouse had a mind of its own, it should know what kind of trouble it was in.
It was locked up in a cage, but it didn't care about the outside world. It didn't even care about being bought or sold. It had already accepted its fate.
Behemoth also heard Luigi's voice. It remained still on the ground, but its mind was filled with resentment and anger.
How could it not care about its current situation? How could it accept its fate? However, it couldn't fight back right now.
Besides, even if it had the chance to leave, it had to find a way to stay. It still had things to do. It needed to see the … rat.
It couldn't let these people get interested in it. It wouldn't leave, at least not now.
Behemoth lowered its head and curled up on its smooth tail. It seemed to have fallen asleep.
Luigi looked at Behemoth who was completely unaffected by the outside world and muttered in a low voice, "Is its brain really damaged?" "Alright."
Luigi looked at Angor. "What do you think of this inventor mouse?" In other words, does this invention mouse really have a secret? Do you want to buy this invention mouse?
Angor considered for a moment. "Let me observe it a bit more." "Haven't you observed enough?" Luigi already noticed that Angor was talking to Behemoth using his spirit power. However, he didn't sense any spirit ripples from Behemoth, which meant Angor was talking to Behemoth on purpose.
Luigi didn't know what Angor was looking for, but he still trusted Angor's friend. "Tell me if you find anything." "Okay."
Angor nodded and ignored Luigi. "You don't want to leave, do you?" "Okay."
Behemoth didn't move at all.
"I'll take that as a yes." "Let me guess. Why don't you want to leave?" Angor asked. "Okay."
Behemoth sneered in its mind. Was this human overconfident? Overconfidence was nothing short of narcissism.
Did he think that he could convince him with just his mouth? Behemoth felt ridiculous.
"You want to prove yourself? So you don't want to leave?" Behemoth was speechless again.
Angor sensed Behemoth's disdain, but he didn't mind. He chuckled. "So I was wrong. You've already started hiding your talents. Why would you care about vanity? " "Okay."
"I'll keep guessing." "Okay."
"You want to continue staying by Pilucci's side because you want to gain more knowledge? "Okay."
Behemoth: Knowledge is indeed very important to me, but Peluxiu's knowledge can't solve its predicament … On the other hand, there is a Mirror Dragon called Babaregon. Its research might be of some use to me. But how can I get Babaregon's research?
Behemoth sighed in its mind.
Angor couldn't understand Behemoth's thoughts, but he knew that Behemoth didn't want to stay for knowledge.
"I'm sorry. I'm wrong again." "As a human, it's hard for me to imagine what I want from a rat." "Okay."
"The only thing I can think of is that rats are always fighting for food and survival. But I don't think you're going to fight for these two goals, right? " "Okay."
Behemoth: Food? Survival? Only rats with no intelligence would chase after their biological instincts. Behemoth wasn't a rat. It only cared about higher spiritual pursuits.
"Since food and survival aren't your goals, then I can only rely on you. I can only judge you based on basic human needs. " "Yes.
"My teacher once said that to find your 'true self', you have to find your 'self' based on your 'additional self'. "Yes.
"To put it simply, it means that under the guidance of a guide, one can learn more knowledge and finally see the world clearly. "Yes.
"Self is the equipment of knowledge. "Additional self is the gift of fetters. "True self is the interpretation of the unknown. "Yes.
"I've already guessed 'self', and the answer is no. So there are only 'additional self' and 'true self' left. 'True self' is the interpretation of the unknown. It's a difficult and false proposition. Or rather, it's not something that can be solved right now. "Yes.
"Then I can only think of one possibility: he's me." If Luigi was in Angor's shoes, he would have lost his head by now. Behemoth, on the other hand, somehow understood Angor's meaning.
The more Behemoth understood, the more it feared Angor.
At first, Behemoth thought Angor was just guessing. But now, he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
"To put it simply, 'additional self' is the fetters between people, between lives. "Yes.
"You don't want to leave because of the fetters?" Behemoth:
"…"
Angor chuckled. Judging from Behemoth's sudden change of mood, he was sure that his guess was correct.
However, whose fetters were these fetters with? Who did Behemoth not want to leave?
Angor considered and continued, "You care about Pilucci's family? "Yes."
This was the most unlikely answer in Angor's mind. And it was the truth. Judging from Behemoth's indifferent attitude, Angor could tell that Behemoth didn't care much about Pilucci.
"You're only concerned about your own kind? "Yes."
Behemoth: "…"
"Is it Pi Feifei?" Angor continued, "Is it Pi Feifei? "Yes."
Behemoth turned its head away and kept pretending to sleep.
Angor frowned. He didn't know much about the Inventor Rats. The only name he knew was Pi Feifei.
But now, Behemoth denied Pi Feifei's answer, which made Angor hesitate.
If it wasn't Pi Feifei, then it had to be someone else. But he didn't know who the Inventor Rat was.
Angor planned to use a series of questions to break Behemoth's psychological defense, but it seemed that he was stuck at the last step.
Behemoth sighed in relief when Angor didn't say anything. Its tense muscles slowly relaxed as if it was really going to fall asleep.
Luigi spoke through their Spirit Bond. "It didn't say anything. How did you manage to talk to it for so long? "…"
Angor didn't try to hide his spirit connection. Luigi could see that Angor was talking to Behemoth alone.
"Sometimes, no need to answer is an answer," Angor said. For example, I'm asking you now. Do you admit that your poem sucks? " "…"
Luigi was puzzled. "???" "…"
Why am I asking for trouble? What do you mean my poem sucks? Obviously, Tooth Fairy liked it very much!
Angor glanced at Luigi. "So you admitted it, Luigi. "No, I didn't!" "Yes.
"You admitted it in your heart. "Yes."
Luigi retorted without hesitation. "You can't read minds. You're trying to trick me." "Yes."
Angor didn't argue with Luigi. Instead, he looked at Laplace.
Laplace glanced at Luigi, then at Angor. "I'll stay out of this." "Yes."
Laplace already knew that Angor was trying to figure out Luigi's thoughts. But she didn't want to stand in the middle. Luigi was her close partner, and she couldn't be separated from Luigi.
Angor shrugged. "Let's skip this for now. Let's talk about Behemoth. "Yes."
Angor didn't hide anything. He told Laplace about his conversation with Behemoth, as well as some of his guesses.
"Anyway, I don't know who Behemoth's connection is. "Okay.
Luigi was still thinking about the poem and how he was exposed. But when he heard Angor's words, his mind was pulled back to the invention rat.
"So Pi Erdan was right? Behemoth didn't lose its mind. It's just pretending." "Okay."
Angor nodded. "I don't care who its master is, but I'm sure it's not as stupid as it looks. "Okay.
But I'm not sure if it's as smart as Pi Feifei. " Luigi continued, "The fact that it's pretending means it's hiding something. You don't have to break its psychological defense. Just buy it and we'll talk about other things later. " "Okay."
Angor didn't say anything about buying it.
He was only interested and wanted to satisfy his curiosity, that's all. But when it came to purchasing, he was still a little off.
"If you don't want it, I'll buy it. I'll make it write poems for me every day! " Luigi's eyes twinkled.
Angor glanced at Luigi and then looked at Laplace again.
It was Laplace.
Laplace hesitated for two seconds and spoke calmly, "He admitted that his poems are bad." "No!"
Luigi quickly turned around. "I didn't! I just want to see the inspiration of the invention rat. "
Angor shrugged. "We'll talk about it later. Let's talk about Behemoth's connection first. What do you think? " Luigi asked.
Luigi grumbled, "I only know Pi Feifei. I don't know any of the other invention rats. Pi Erdan took out the list just now, right? Why don't you show it to Behemoth? Maybe Behemoth's connection is in the list. Oh, right! …
Halfway through his sentence, Luigi suddenly thought of something. "There's also the Invention Mouse with an atavistic appearance! When you were with the parrot, didn't you say that the Inventor Mouse had a secret? That atavistic inventor mouse had its secrets, and so did this inventor mouse called Behemoth. Weren't they a pair? Angor smiled.
"You have a point. But let's hear what Laplace has to say first." "No."
Angor didn't want to admit that he was pretending to be the Riddler in front of Luigi. In fact, there was nothing wrong with the atavistic invention rat.
Laplace hesitated for two seconds and said, "Maybe Behemoth's connection isn't just a single invention rat?" "Huh?"
"Not a single invention rat … I think I get it." Maybe Behemoth didn't care about itself, but about its entire race. Behemoth didn't want to leave because all the invention rats were under Peluxiu's control.
Perhaps it was enduring the humiliation because it wanted to liberate all the invention mice?
