After discovering abnormalities in his psychic signals, the mastermind immediately cut off the connection with the body and transferred his consciousness from Infinite City to a replica of Waterdeep for isolation.

The question now is how to deal with it.

Should you directly imprison the soul permanently, or should you come forward to talk to him alone?"

"Tell me about this guy first."

After hearing that there was no spreading crisis, Zuo Si immediately felt relieved and started asking for specific details.

The diary shrugged and responded: "Actually, there is nothing to introduce.

The name of this player is Kurt, and the age of death should be 28 years old. The cause of death was self-mutilation caused by severe depression, followed by excessive blood loss and rescue efforts failed.

He has a very high IQ, especially memory, observation and analytical skills, which are far beyond what ordinary people can understand.

Through long-term observation and continuous testing, this guy discovered that Infinite City is actually a virtual world, and the place that players think is the game world is the real reality.

You know, although the mastermind Isadora has received a lot of knowledge, it is impossible for such a huge virtual world to make no mistakes.

Kurt discovered and found many details that are easily overlooked by ordinary people.

But before he could even try to escape, he was already imprisoned.

But what's interesting is that he is not afraid or nervous when he is locked up in the illusion of Waterdeep City. Instead, he quietly observes everything around him.

I think his brain, especially his thinking mode, may be different from normal people."

"In that case, let's go meet the player who was the first to see through the truth."

After saying that, Zuo Si stood up from the chair and quickly passed through the teleportation gate to the floating city on the other side.

He didn't alert anyone, but went straight to the room where the shell ship's brain pool was.

Along the way, you can clearly see a large number of newly born mind flayers, as well as a large number of people who are working tirelessly to build various psychic devices.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of these guys transformed from devouring goblins and werewolves will not exceed half a year.

Often after laying an egg once, they will be quickly arranged to donate their brains at a sacred moment, and merge with the great master brain to become a collective consciousness.

Of course, the above sentence was used by the mastermind to deceive the mind flayer.

The real situation is that the master brain only accommodates the consciousness of the first mind-twitching demon that has completed transformation.

The remaining mind flayers who donated their brains will soon become part of the former after being devoured and fused.

Their memories, knowledge, and psychic powers will all be absorbed by the master brain.

This is why masterminds who live longer tend to be smarter and more powerful.

But the problem is that Zuo Si obviously doesn't feel comfortable letting the uncontrolled Mind Flayer live for too long, so he can only use quantity to make up for the lack of quality.

But fortunately, the mastermind Isadora is connected to countless players, who will continuously transmit massive amounts of information back, allowing them to continuously learn, grow, and evolve.

"Take me to meet the player named Kurt."

Zuo Si stood in front of the brain pool and ordered crisply.

The next second...

The mastermind Isadora then extended two slender and sticky tentacles, gently pressed on her temples, and slowly released amazing spiritual energy.

In the blink of an eye, Zuo Si's consciousness left his body and entered the illusion of Waterdeep City.

Since this world is completely controlled by the mastermind, he appears next to the target out of thin air.

Kurt, who was sitting on the bar drinking silently, saw this scene and was so frightened that he almost stopped holding the cup. After calming down, he cautiously asked: "Who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Kurt. My name is Soth, and I am a little planeswalker."

Zuo Si extended his right hand with a smile.

"Uh... hello. Sorry, I never shake hands with people."

Kurt was obviously nervous and restless.

It can be seen that he is very resistant to communicating with strangers in his heart, and he obviously has social phobia.

After realizing this, Zuo Si retracted his arm and said to himself in a calm tone: "I think you must be confused now about what happened to you, right?"

"You know?"

Kurt took a sip of beer and licked his lips and asked.

"Of course!

Because everything you are going through, without exception, was planned by me.

Including the virtual illusion we are in now.

In addition, I want to apologize to you first, and then return the deleted and missing part of the memory to you.

In this way, I believe you will be able to understand what is going on."

After that, Zuo Si took out the memory backup stored in the mastermind Isadora, raised his hand and lightly tapped the other person's forehead.

Before the sloppy-looking man could react to what was happening, many images and sounds quickly emerged.

At the beginning, because it was too disorganized, he had a splitting headache.

But soon, these sounds and images became clearer and more organized.

About ten minutes later, when all the memories were successfully received, Kurt got up from the ground covered in sweat and said in a slightly trembling voice: "So... I am dead!

Did you take my soul to another world and then inject it into a new body through some unknown technology?

Wrong!

Not just me!

The same goes for those who think they live in the future.

Are you a god or a devil?

Why do this?"

"Calm down.

I am neither a god nor a devil.

At least you should understand now that my actions actually gave you a second life, right?"

Zuo Si had a very friendly smile on his face, signaling the other party not to be too excited.

Kurt nodded without thinking: "You're right.

I have recalled the terrible place of coldness, despair and numbness after death, when the soul crosses the curtain.

To be honest, I would rather stay in this real illusion all my life than stay there for one more second.

But the question is, you are obviously trying to save our souls, so why do you use deception?

Wouldn't it be better to just tell us the truth?"

Zuo Si chuckled and replied: "Because it is very troublesome to explain. Just one magic principle may take several days to explain, and not everyone can accept it.

The most important thing is that I need players, including you, to believe that everything they experience is just a game.

You can give full play to your imagination and boldly do things that you would never dare to do in real life without having to carry any moral baggage.

Imagine, if those people knew that they were living in a real world, would they still have the courage to face enemies or monsters several times more powerful than themselves?

Do you dare to laugh out loud when facing fear and death?

Is it possible to kill thousands of creatures and still not feel even a little bit guilty?

The answer is obviously no.

That’s why I set up this mechanism to protect you so that you can maximize your potential.”

Kurt nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I admit what you said makes sense.

Treating the real world as a game can indeed make people brave, bold and fearless.

But how is all this achieved?

You must know that we are really immortal!

No matter how many times you die, even if the entire body is broken into pieces, you can still be resurrected in a very short period of time.

Is this also the function of some powerful magic?"

"Haha, no, of course not. Have you heard of cloning technology?

What I do is protect your soul after the body is destroyed, and then put it into a brand new clone body.

In fact, every player has at least two clones stored in the floating city that are ready for resurrection at any time.

This is the so-called truth that players can be resurrected infinitely.

Of course, this cloning technology also uses some magical means."

Zuo Si answered very patiently.

Since becoming the Lord of Hell, he has been able to see the quality and shining points of mortal souls.
To be continued...
