I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 234 Comments.]

[Xinhuan: It would be interesting if she can read the minds of animals and beasts and influence them too.]

[Keltic_Spirit: I fear Mr Theo here in the future will have to fight to prevent being used as a 'key' to access parallel dimensions, as it is now possible to know about it without your consent. 2nd, my previous question wasn't well worded…read more]

…

"Who are you? No, what are you?" The woman sounded shocked, her lifeless body twitched a little bit.

Theo smirked. "What are you talking about? I'm the same human as you know. I simply come from a different world."

"I have seen humans from another world, but they're nothing like you."

"That's not my problem, right? Besides, you're missing the point. So, what do you see? Will I kill you or not?"

The woman fell silent for a few minutes. She seemed to be recalling the information she got from his brain, but she was confused about the content.

She had seen all kinds of memories and thoughts. But this was the first time she actually met someone who could actually hide their thoughts as if such a thing never flashed in his mind.

In fact, Theo asking that question alone should have raised that idea in his mind. Yet, she couldn't see anything.

She was completely bewildered, not knowing whether Theo would actually kill her or not. Of course, Theo wasn't so insane that he could actually hide his thoughts. That thought was already in his mind, but Theo applied another layer of illusion into her ability, making her think that she had gotten all the information from his mind.

In the original world, Theo was helped by the God of Mischief to escape the eyes of destiny. Back then, the God of Mischief created a layer of illusion that made her think she was seeing the truth.@@novelbin@@

And Theo recreated it this time, escaping from the mind reading. Still, Theo realized that her ability wasn't that omnipotent. First of all, he could feel the essence that poked his mind. It was like an irresistible force that even he couldn't stop. Hence, Theo chose to manipulate what she saw instead of stopping her ability.

With her power, Theo realized that the post apocalyptic world's abilities were much more magical than he originally thought.

Theo looked at Valentine with a serious expression. "So, do you have the answer to that question?"

Valentine said, "Please kill me. Even if I don't die now, I'll die sooner or later because I have lost control over my body. There is nothing I can do except accept my death. If the zombie eats my brain, there's a high chance that their wisdom will develop to a point where it surpasses that of humans."

Theo thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you follow me?"

"Follow you?" Valentine seemed confused. She only wanted to die.

"Yes. Follow me. Your ability is pretty useful." Theo wondered if he could actually see through the author's thoughts with her ability. It might not be now, but he might be able to bring her to the other side and get his answer. Still, she had another use for the current situation. "Besides, can you read the mind of an animal?"

"Yes and no. I can understand their intentions, like when they are hungry, but that's it. I'm not capable of understanding their language."

"That's enough." Theo nodded. Even though the ability was magical, it seemed that the scope of the ability was still within reason. That was why he asked, "What do you think about following me for a few years? If you still wish to die after that, I'll kill you."

"Only a few years?"

"You should have seen what's going to happen to me after a few years, right?"

"…" Valentine couldn't reply to him, but it was certainly surprising because Theo was supposed to have died a few months ago. "If you can answer this question, then… I'll follow you, even though I don't know how you're going to make me serve you because of this body. My question is simple… are you not from this world… No, I suppose 'universe' is a more suitable word for this context."

Theo's reply came in the form of vision.

Valentine was able to see it a bit more clearly due to Theo's permission. "God of Tricksters… Ruler of Reality… a singularity… a story… the author… I see. What ridiculous information you're showing me right now. After reading a part of your memory, it seems that I'm able to understand you a little bit. You are unable to lie, but you cause people to misunderstand you."

Valentine still sounded hesitant whether this was a good choice or not, but this was a choice she had already made. "If you don't mind someone like me, then please take care of me… I don't know how to call you, Saint? Your Majesty? God?"

"Just call me Master."

"Understood. I'll serve you for a few years, Master… That is if I can even do so in this state."

"I have some thoughts on how to treat you, but the result won't be as you imagine." Theo shook his head helplessly.

"I don't really mind in what form as long as it's not something disgusting."

"Don't worry about that." Theo nodded. "I have one last question."

"Please ask me anything, Master."

"How do you want to deal with those three?"

Valentine laughed a bit before saying, "Isn't that obvious?"

In the other dream, the trio had their heads flying because of Theo. After all, it was Valentine's request. "Kill them!"

Theo waved his hand, dispelling the Illusory Dream for Valentine. "I'm looking forward to our cooperation."

"The honor is mine."

When Theo returned to reality, he immediately opened the comments.

"I don't know if she can influence animals, but it might be something that we can explore later.

"I'm not sure what you mean by the first part. As for the second part, I'll give you an example. Have you ever experienced a time where you're very sleepy like when lying on the bed while looking at your phone or dozing off in the car? Without realizing it, you dozed off for a few minutes. It's something like that. They don't realize that they've dozed off. Basically, they aren't aware that they're inside a dream.

"If you use virtual reality or even apply an illusion, you're still conscious when entering this new world, right? Illusory Dream is not. It'll be like you don't realize that a few minutes have passed in reality. It's such a powerful ability, but with some limitations."
