046 Some info on acting method

  "Don't be so excited." Mr. Devil waved his hand lightly:

  "Actually, I only know a little bit about it."

  "No matter how small the clue is, please tell me!"

  Little Sun tried hard to fight, but Mr. Devil, who was under the spotlight of everyone, suddenly turned his head to look at Mr. Fool, as if asking, "Can I say it?"

  "What are you looking at me for? I don't know what you are going to say?"

  Klein was a little embarrassed when he saw the gaze cast by Mr. Devil, but he also thought of one thing from Mr. Devil's attitude——

  When Ms. Daly commissioned him to hint the "acting method" to the captain before, she once said that all the people in the Evernight Goddess Church who understand the acting method will be required to swear an oath and not disclose it to others.

  Mr. The Hanged Man is suspected to be a member of the Church of the Storm, and he also doesn't know how to impersonate. Does this mean that all the existing gods only have a "secret" attitude towards the impersonation?

  So when Mr. Devil heard that more than 2,000 people in Little Sun knew how to act, did he decide that there was something wrong with the god they believed in?

  Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help but become curious, so he maintained the character design of the fool, and nodded slightly as a consent.

  With Mr. Fool's approval, Mr. Devil seemed to be relieved, and turned his attention to the Hanged man:

  "Mr.Hanged Man may have also wondered why the simple method of acting, which can greatly reduce the probability of low-level Extraordinary losing control, was sealed by the church."

  "Why did you mention me again?" Mr. Hanged Man frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, but he had indeed considered this issue, so he nodded, "That's right, the church has been standing for thousands of years, so it doesn't make sense that it can't summed up the law, but they did not inform the extraordinary people at the bottom about it."

  "Correction." Mr. Devil raised a finger and shook his head slightly:

  "Not only did the Church of the Seven Righteous Gods fail to inform, but it will provide an oath to all official Extraordinary people who have realized the acting method, asking them not to spread the acting method in any way."

  "Why is this happening?" Miss Justice asked subconsciously, and Mr. Devil smiled at her and said:

  "Because it's not good for the gods."

  "God?"

  Everyone was shocked. How could the performance of a mere low-level Extraordinary affect the gods?

  "Since you know the acting method, do you know the principle of the acting method?" Mr. Devil didn't answer directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

  Miss Justice immediately repeated the example of entering the castle in disguise that Mr. Fool mentioned before. Just when Mister Fool was worried that his example was wrong, Mr. Devil smiled and said:

  "It's a wonderful metaphor, but have you ever wondered where the guards in the castle come from?"

  "This..." Miss Justice was momentarily at a loss for words, but Mr. Devil said to himself:

  "Every potion, or every extraordinary material, hides a special imprint. You can regard it as the consciousness of another existence. The higher sequence the potion is, the stronger this consciousness is, because some of the spiritual imprints of the 'former master' are often mixed in, so it is usually called a spiritual residue. In a sense, it can be regarded as the main culprit that causes Extraordinary people to go crazy and even lose control."

  "This spiritual remnant is the guard?" Miss Justice said thoughtfully, and Mr. Devil nodded, "That's right, but the problem with the acting method is also here-you bypass the guard through acting, which means that these guards were not knocked down, um, by the way, there is a very important key to the acting method, which is 'you are just acting', um, Mister Sun, have you taught this in the City of Silver?"

  Mr. Devil's sudden crookedness did not make Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man feel uncomfortable, because the words "you are just acting" have given them a new understanding of acting.

  Little Sun nodded immediately when he heard Mr. Devil's words:

  "Yes, we have emphasized in the general education class that the only thing to pay attention to in the impersonation method is 'you are just acting'."

  "That's good." Mr. Devil showed a relieved expression before continuing:

  " In The acting method you are just acting, because if you get so involved in the drama that you forget who you are, then these spiritual remnants may take advantage of the it and blend into your spirit, making you no longer you, um, In a sense, this is also a kind of madness. I also use that example to explain, that is, you played too much in the role, and in the end you forgot to leave after getting the treasure. Instead, the guards in the castle pushed you to the real 'guests' position."

  When Miss Justice heard this, a self who only knew to hide in a dark corner and observe others appeared in her heart. She couldn't help but shuddered, and then asked a little nervously:

  "So the church conceals the acting method because it is worried about this situation? But what does this have to do with the true God?"

  "That's not the case." Mr. Devil shook his head and said:

  "Actually, you can think of the spiritual remnant as a branch of a giant tree. The impact on every Extraordinary at the bottom is just the last branch, a leaf. And the true god also has to fight against madness."

  "True God also wants to fight against madness?" Klein felt that the amount of information was a bit large, and he almost stretched out his hand to pinch his brow.

  When the topic came to this point, even Miss Justice didn't dare to guess casually, and Mr. Devil just said to himself:

  "Each potion seems to be independent, but there is a connection on the level of mysticism. Low-sequence Extraordinary will be affected by high-sequence, and high-sequence will also be affected by low-sequence. Of course, because of the gap in strength, the impact is generally negligible."

  Having said that, Mr. Devil's tone changed, and he said in a somewhat harsh tone:

  "Miss Justice, you said earlier that acting is like sneaking in as a guest and stealing the treasure, so have you ever thought about where the castle and the guards will go after the treasure is stolen? "

  "Could it be going to a high-sequence Extraordinary... or even a true god?" Miss Justice made what she thought was the boldest guess, but Mr. Devil shook his head, pointed to his chest and said:

  "It's still in your body, lurking in the potion, even if you die, your spirit remnant will also be partly added, and even strengthen the spirit remnant, and will have an influence on the next person who takes the potion."

  Audrey, who didn't know the law of indestructibility of Extraordinary characteristics, didn't notice the meaning contained in the next person to take the potion, but the Hanged Man and Little Sun, who knew about this knowledge, were slightly moved.

  But immediately, a bigger thunder was thrown out by Mr. Devil——

  "Because everyone has used the acting method, in a sense, your mental state will be close to the spiritual residue of the potion, that is to say, after the person who has learned the acting method dies, the spiritual residue in the potion will not change. It will even be 'repaired', um, Mr. Hanged Man, do you know how Extraordinary people who don't know how to act can 'master' the potion?"

  Hearing Mr. Devil's question, the Hanged Man subconsciously replied: "Ordinary Extraordinary people will stabilize their spirit through meditation, and suppress the... well, the spirit residue in the potion, just like taming a wild beast, suppress it, tame it ..."

  When the Hanged Man said this, he suddenly felt that a certain key had been opened, and he found that he was gradually understanding all of this——

  "Could it be that ordinary extraordinary 'mastering' the potion without using the acting method will weaken the spiritual residue in the potion? This will reduce the influence of the true god?"
