Ke Meng calmed down and carefully considered what he had learned.
These words actually described some kind of mysterious technology.
It was used to make a special item that soothed an agitated body and soul through spirituality, reducing the negativity within the heart.
It involved extremely complex technology-not physical, industrial technology, but technology on a mental level.
In other words, it made use of a sentient being's spirituality. The maker needed to skillfully control the spirituality within their body, infusing an object with intangible mental energy and routing it along specific circuits. Even the slightest mistake would cause the creation of the special item to fail.
Ke Meng mulled it over, but could not finish deciphering it. His real-world self had not finished the repairs. Only four-fifths had been restored, leaving one-fifth missing.
Ke Meng tried using Cthulhu's Body to perform Synesthesia on the real world. Perhaps an evil god could perceive more.
The result was predictable. Even an evil god could not see the one-fifth of the content that had been carved away. All he could perceive were illegible gouges.
The information had been destroyed at its source. Restoring it required a special item, such as the Repair Source.
At the same time, emerging from this bout of confusion had given Ke Meng plenty of ideas.
Side effects, for instance.
The Dragon-Slaying Saber's side effect of eventually becoming a dragon slayer, the Lost One's Lantern's side effect of becoming lost, and others like them could all be considered delayed side effects.
As long as Ke Meng became Cthulhu in his dreams, delayed side effects acting on his soul should also be eliminated.
Viewed that way, this was far more than becoming numb to an overwhelming pile of debts.
He was completely debt-free!
