Putting negative effects to good use

Vera took a sip of tea and played with the taste:

"That guy used Marionette as a trap, trying to lure me to take action and manipulate me. However, I and Marionette beat him up and left Marionette behind and ran away."

He shrugged:

"Okay, let's get down to business.

"Beyonder Ability of "Self" is not as simple as it seems on the surface. You must listen carefully to the following precautions."

Lorry frowned slightly, thought for a moment and asked tentatively:

"Is it related to the identity of the design?"

"That's right." Vera nodded.

He stretched out his hand and motioned to Lorry to return "Self", put it back in its place, and said casually, "This is its sealing method."

"If you don't use it, remember to save it in a container with Black Crystal material, otherwise you may never find it."

After a reminder, Vera continued the topic:

"Give me an example.

"For example, if your designed character is "generous", then after realizing "Self", even if you don't have much savings, you will spend money lavishly.

"Other personalities, such as being stingy, liking women, being irritable and empathic.

"But identity is virtual and cannot change the real body.

"If the identity you design is female, you may act like a real woman in terms of behavior, mentality, and clothing, but you are still a man.

"So, it's best to design the identity of the same gender to avoid revealing the secret."

"You need to pay attention to the above, but if you fail to do so, the consequences will be within an acceptable level." As he spoke, his tone became serious.

"But you must strictly implement the last two points!"

Vera took out a breath and continued:

"First, because "Self" involves cognition, it can interfere with reality to a certain extent, such as your own strength.

"The identity you designed is Sequence 9"Marauder", then after realizing "Self", your Advancement abilities and Spirituality will be lost.

"Similarly, if the design identity is an ordinary person, all Beyonder Ability will be lost.

"You can't recover until you break free from "Self"."

Can it even affect Beyonder Ability?! Lorry slowly opened his eyes.

No wonder Lieutenant Colonel wants to remind you of this. If the identity of the design is an ordinary person, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the ability to resist unknown risks.

Wait!

So if the identity of the design is Sequence 7, or even Demigod, Angel, is it possible to really realize it... His imagination suddenly opened up.

Vera seemed to have seen through his own Informant's thoughts, showing a half-smiling expression:

"According to internal records, there was a mentally unstable member who tried to become God by realizing "Self".

"As a result, he lost control on the spot and transformed into Monster, who was eliminated by his colleagues.

"Haha, I guess the reason for his failure is that his condition is unstable and has nothing to do with "Self". If you are interested, you can try it privately.

"If it succeeds, please let me know."

Lorry laughed dryly, ignored Lieutenant Colonel's secret sarcasm, and asked:

"So "within a certain extent" means that the design identity cannot exceed its own strength, otherwise it will fail or even lose control?"

"Yes." Vera nodded gently, confirming Informant's guess, and continued:

"Second, you must not forget to set the release conditions, otherwise you will be addicted to the designed identity and never be able to return to reality.

"If you have the ability, you can set multiple release conditions.

"For example, perceiving a potentially life-threatening danger, a specific place, an expected time, a person, or a special item.

"Other conditions need to be researched by yourself. These are the only ones in the information."

Huh...Lorry slowly exhaled:

"I understand."

Vera nodded:

"Do you have any other questions? Regarding the mission of "Fantasy Society" or about "Self", please tell me as soon as possible."

Lorry shook his head. "Not yet."

He saw that Lieutenant Colonel was trying to drive people away, so he drank Black Tea in one gulp, put Black Crystal Box in his pocket, agreed on a time to meet next time, stood up and said goodbye to Lieutenant Colonel.

Teleportation returned to Ceramics Factory, Lorry closed the door of the lounge in the eyes of Albert Despair, and began to study the newly acquired Sealed Artifact.

First, there are the negative effects of Philosophical Murmurs.

Its solution is relatively simple.

Lorry found that as long as you can endure the constant repetition of three questions without thinking, answering or paying attention, it won't have much impact.

What he mainly studies is another kind of negative effect.

After testing, he found that "Self" mainly showed three points:

First, believe in yourself.

This is not the same as self-confidence. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "believing that you can do anything". To a certain extent, it can be understood as arrogance.

For example, I had a fist fight with Lieutenant Colonel before.

Without the ability to use Sealed Artifact, the combat power of the two people was not comparable at all. However, due to the influence of "Self", Lorry still believed that "a mere Disciplinary Paladin can win even if he does not use Sealed Artifact", and even took the initiative to launch an attack.

For another example, infiltrating "Fantasy Society" was obviously a very dangerous thing, but he thought he could accomplish it easily.

Second, he despises others and cannot accept other people's suggestions, even if they are well-intentioned. Likewise, he does not care about other people's feelings.

Lorry seriously suspects that Lieutenant Colonel insists on giving himself some pain just because he was angered by those words in the "Self" state.

Third, recognize yourself from the bottom of your heart.

This is what interests him the most and the main reason why he desires this Sealed Artifact.

Lorry has already tried using "Thousand Illusions". When carrying "Self", using the former will not produce a fictional personality.

Even the fictional personalities that have been created are being quickly assimilated.

For example, the previous "reporter" personality completely dissipated after about half an hour, turning into fragments of consciousness and integrated into his Heart and Mind Body.

"Huh..."

Lorry worked for a long time, controlling "Thousand Illusions" to slowly squirm on the ring finger of his left hand, changing into a thin layer of flesh-colored skin covering it.

With "Self", he can disguise himself for a long time and save a lot of trouble.

His eyes flickered, Calmness analyzed:

"The same is the performance of "Self". The third point is what I want, but the first two points are not needed. It is best to find a way to avoid it as soon as possible.

"Especially the first point, it's easy to put yourself in danger. The second point is slightly better, but it's also easy to blame others.

"Charm? Probably not. Psychological Suggestion? Not sure yet. "Hanged Man" of other Sealed Artifact...Tarot Club knows a "Artisan"."

Lorry's voice gradually became lower, and he made up his mind to entrust this matter to Fors to see if it was possible to tailor it.

But because he suddenly thought of "Hanged Man", he slapped his head, strode to the bedside table, and took out a gold Mask from the drawer below.

This is the price the other party pays for exchanging "Wind-blessed" Formula.

The negative effect is that as the number of uses increases, the wearer will become less and less human, becoming more and more Coldness, and eventually regard himself as God.

Lorry once wanted to try it, but gave up the idea because he was worried about the cost.

But now he has "Self".
