Chapter 297 Completely blending into the crowd
Lin Suixuan threw the map into Zhao Yuxi's mind. She believed that with Zhao Yuxi's ability, she would be able to find a place where no one would disturb her immediately.
The King of Dongting Lake is the Lord of the Stars. There are many things she can do, and there are also many things she cannot do. The invisible bottom line constrains her all the time, making her appear inhuman when interacting with others.
Zhao Yuxi looked at the map and chose a place. She used the elemental dissolution first, followed by Lin Suixuan.
Xie Chenghong didn't want to leave, he wanted to escape, but he was afraid that the two ancients would come back to trouble him. His asymptotic rate was extremely mediocre among the ancients. He didn't dare to say that he had a 100% chance of winning against any of the ancients. If it was a one-on-two battle, the chance of winning would definitely be 0%.
Zhao Yuxi did not go to the destination immediately after mutual dissolution. It is unlikely that anyone will leave with two strangers at will, not to mention that the two strangers seem to be stronger than themselves. People will hesitate, wander, and consider whether this thing can be done and whether it will be harmful after doing it. Maybe for the ancients, "consideration" is a very fast process, but she still needs to give the other party a little time.
Xie Chenghong hesitated for a moment and also used the elemental dissolution. The two people were very close to him. Are they still there? Are they waiting for him? If they don't wait, will they return and start a battle between the ancients?
Zhao Yuxi slowed down so that the other party could catch up with her. The radius of that person's domain was not large, and leaving him behind would certainly show her great advantage, but showing the advantage too early would do more harm than good. If she wanted to show her advantage, she wouldn't have to wait from the beginning.
In the world of mutual dissolution, there are no expressions, no sounds, and human bodies and images do not exist. When people meet, they see things similar to light. In this world, Zhao Yuxi hides her heart, and so does Xie Chenghong.
There was an abandoned house by the river, and the three of them went in.
The gray curtain was rolled out, and no one outside knew what happened inside the curtain.
"What is your asymptote? No need for an exact name. Just tell me the general function of the asymptote." Zhao Yuxi went straight to the point. In this curtain, she communicated with the strange ancients in her own way.
"No comment." Xie Chenghong rejected the other party righteously. He suspected that the other party had mastered his information, but he couldn't say anything more. He admitted that he was an ancient, which was unwise. If he told the other party about his ability, it would be extremely stupid.
At this time, Lin Sui turned around. She could listen to the conversation between the two men and see their expressions, but could they see her expression? Her expression was oppressive to the middle-aged man and seductive to Zhao Yuxi.
Especially Zhao Yuxi, her "eyesight" is so good, she stared at the man while staring at herself, if the expressions of the two people changed slightly, she might change her next sentence according to the change. Even if the expressions of the two people did not change, how big a difference would it make in her eyes?
Lin Sui turned around, and Zhao Yuxi immediately thought, does the King of Dongting Lake not want to see me and him? But this is probably not true. Is there anyone that the King of Dongting Lake cannot see? Besides, will she really not see him if she turns around? Did she turn around because she didn't want me to use her power? In this case, let's make a small change.
"No comment is correct. If you told me everything you know right from the start, I would think there was something wrong with you. Let me introduce myself briefly. I am an Ancient One. I want to find someone to help me. It would be best if this person is an Ancient One, but an Ancient One is also fine."
Zhao Yuxi's voice became quieter. On the one hand, she wanted to tell the King of Dongting Lake, "I behave differently when you are here and when you are not." On the other hand, she was not in a hurry to get an answer from the other party. If the other party was a reliable person, she would know the answer sooner or later. If the other party was unreliable, even if he said the correct answer, she would feel that "there is something wrong with this person."
Xie Chenghong was full of complaints, but he didn't dare to show it: "I am an Ancient One." Is your self-introduction too simple? Even if you didn't say these five words, I guessed that you are an Ancient One. Although some Middle Ages can also use elements to dissolve, it is impossible for any Middle Ages to dare to provoke an Ancient One. Even if that Middle Ages has an Ancient One accompanying him, it is unlikely.
"What are you going to do?" "I'm not sure. If you're not good at fighting, I want you to be responsible for revising historical documents. According to my ideas and the trajectory of real history, rewrite the stories of the old times. If you're not good at revising historical documents, you just need to watch others revise them, and when you have nothing to do, just take a look at the history books they wrote."
Xie Chenghong had the urge to run away again: Sure enough, this girl knows my ability! I like reading books. This habit and hobby is something I have had for a long time and has nothing to do with asymptotes. However, asymptotes have given me special skills and abilities that I didn’t have before. I can see the essence of thoughts hidden in words, and I can write down the essence of thoughts so that everyone can understand them. These abilities have nothing to do with expression ability. This is an ability that asymptotes have given me that did not exist in human history in the past.
"I'm not good at revising historical documents, but I'm good at seeing the essence of the thoughts in the text."
This statement is true, and it can be seen that this person's ability is still desirable, but this ability is indeed not suitable for combat.
Zhao Yuxi wanted to know more. "Seeing the essence of thoughts in words" was only one aspect. If we omit one part and only look at four words, "seeing thoughts", how big is the gap between his ability and mind reading? She could tolerate a person who could see the essence of thoughts in words staying by her side, but she could not tolerate a person who could read minds appearing in front of her!
“Can you read minds?”
"No."
“Can you judge what people think by what they say?”
Lin Suixuan had long guessed that Zhao Yuxi would ask this question. And, as long as she asked, there would be an answer. They couldn't see each other's thoughts directly, but Zhao Yuxi could guess his thoughts through various information. As long as Zhao Yuxi sent him a message, she might be probed. The process of these two people getting along would probably be very interesting.
"No."
Zhao Yuxi was relieved and proud: Your ability is subject to many constraints, and your strength is not very high. Maybe I should have thought of this earlier. The fact that the Star Lord did not choose you as the spokesperson is enough to explain the problem.
"Apart from text, can you see people's thoughts through other channels?"
"No."
Another true statement. No wonder Jiang Mengxi didn't have his information, it turns out that his ability is so weak! Even if he intentionally showed his asymptotic ability, it would not be easy for people to associate him with an ancient. In addition, he is low-key, buying and reading books every day, occasionally writing one or two letters to those rich people, mobilizing the other party's kindness and taking a little money. He always does these little things, so of course people will not think he is an ancient. This is an ancient who is completely integrated into the crowd! If it weren't for the fact that she could see the asymptotic rate and domain radius, she would not have thought that the person sitting on the steps reading a book was an ancient based on her first impression.
"If you can't, then you can't. If you like reading, then continue reading, just change the place. Maybe I will need your help with other things in the future, such as asking you to help me deal with some emails. As the boss of many people, I can only see very superficial information. I don't know whether they have done anything behind my back or what they think of me. But after you read those emails, you will probably find some unusual traces. Are you willing to help me?"
Helping with emails is the assistant's job. Using an ancient person as an assistant, has this ever happened in the world? In Zhao Yuxi's impression, Zhou Xutong's assistant was only an ancient person. No ancient person would be willing to be an assistant, but maybe this person in front of him is a special case?
Zhao Yuxi was waiting for his reply, but this time, she had no answer in her heart.
