It's virtually impossible to feel an emotion you don't have.
After all, this is not about taking out a dead mouse from your pocket and showing it to the classmate sitting next to you.
For four thousand years, the five emotions Icha has been able to feel, in order of frequency, are "okay," "I see," "interesting," "I have to get out of here," and "really."
For a demon, this number is considered adequate, but compared to the two hundred and ninety-three emotions that are recognized as existing in the panplane, it is really not many.
This weakness can be partially compensated for by extensive reading and observation. For example, Yi Cha knew very well that certain demons were angry when they buzzed rapidly and repeatedly. He also knew from Ke Qier that sweating profusely, flashing eyes, and raising both hands to shake vigorously were signs of fear.
There were about ninety emotions that he could clearly identify in other creatures.
But this has nothing to do with him.
Sometimes Icha would pretend to be surprised just to keep important conversations going.
If asked what "fear", "sadness" and "shame" really feel like, he will recite a set of impeccable, pandimensionally recognized expressions. He still uses these words often.
Even more complex questions can be answered because he has also studied more complex questions.
But it's only to the extent of research.
The pink gas filled the entire room with no intention of diminishing.
"Of course I have to ask about the placeholder." Yi Cha said that he felt "okay" at the moment.
There is a crystal wall between them and the lawyer at the end, but this obviously does not pose any communication difficulties for them.
"But let's ask this little question first. When can we attack each other directly? You released the cloud of disease against me. If you just want to have a classic pure force duel, I don't mind, but if you do this, now this game The rationality will fall apart."
Yi Cha paused skillfully and continued.
"If you just want to compete with me to see who can cut off the other person's head faster, then your 'justice' is no longer reasonable. I believe this is not what you want to see."
The lawyers at the end point are very strict about the rules. I don’t know if it’s a personal preference or if it’s a must.
"Indeed. You are absolutely right. I have no intention of attacking each other directly. Please allow me to defend myself."
The red figure opposite answered sincerely.
Sure enough, his voice passed through the crystal without any obstacles.
"There are two reasons why I can do this. First, I need to achieve [result], which is to make you 'seriously ill'. And I tried to solve it peacefully, but you refused. This is just a different situation. An attempt at [result].
Second, after turning on the piety switch as [the incident], I cannot say or do anything that goes against my true intentions. On the contrary, all sufficiently pious actions will gain legitimacy in the process of achieving [result]. "
The terminal lawyer seemed extremely humble and gentle. "I don't mean to attack you, but I eagerly and with a pious heart want to achieve the [result] that makes you near death. I hope these are reasonable enough. My explanation is over."
It's an "ok" explanation.
Illusion space is not punished with shattering.
Yi Cha did not ask any further questions. "Okay," he said, clapping his hands. "In that case, let's go back to the original topic. Now let's take care of the 'placeholder'."
He pointed at the porous black ball symbol of [Fear] standing on the table - it had now lost its representation. "As you said, I have already lost a placeholder. And the process you talked about did not mention what they can do. 'Fairness' has collapsed, and 'reasonable' you are desperately trying to maintain. So you must not want me to A sudden attack on your 'morals'."
The lawyer at the terminal had already picked up the narrow-mouth bottle in the middle and paused after hearing this.
"[Handshake response]."
He stopped and began to explain. "When a card of the opponent's placeholder's emotional camp is played and [handshake] is established, you can use the card in the corresponding placeholder's hand to [respond]. Two things will happen at the same time. Of course, these operations are between you and me Come and do it.”
"I don't know what cards they have yet. How to [respond]?"
"We didn't include the [response] rule in our simplified round because it might be too complex for you as a first-time player."
The lawyer at the end of the line gently rubbed the bottle. "The most important thing is that the three cards in my hand are good and I don't want to find more variables for myself."
"Oh. Then add this rule."
Yi Cha's mood changed to "I see."
He landed on the table that represented the emotion of [Fear] and was about to turn over the card left by Keqier.
From this point of view, the cards in the hands of the lawyers at the end are indeed very good. he thinks.
With this new rule, the order of good and bad of all cards becomes obvious.
For each emotional representative, the best card is undoubtedly the card belonging to his own emotional camp.
The bigger the points, the better. You don’t even need to consider the powerful [requirement event]. Even if this [request event] is not easy to use, at worst, you can use the "trigger loss value" method to tip the balance without any side effects.
There will only be benefits and no harm.
The second best are the cards belonging to the opponent's emotional camp and the cards of the own placeholder's emotional camp. Although it is necessary to overcome the [cost event], such a card does not point to the opponent's placeholder and cannot trigger the [handshake response].
The process is completely controlled by yourself.
Judging from the introduction by the lawyer at the end point just now, [handshake response] is almost a defensive method.
Cards that belong to one's own emotional camp, cards that belong to the opponent's emotional camp, and cards that belong to one's placeholder's emotional camp cannot be defended by [Handshake Response].
Cards that belong to the opponent's placeholder's emotional camp are undoubtedly the worst. While playing it may not bring benefits, it will also trigger a counterattack from the opponent with a new card.
A counterattack with unpredictable consequences.
"Okay. You can add it."
The voice of the lawyer at the end interrupted his thoughts and came leisurely. "But that has nothing to do with my current [disgust] point. Don't forget. We are still in the game. I sincerely want to make you 'seriously ill'."
I saw him pop open the cork on the narrow-mouth bottle with a flick of his finger.
Tilt the bottle.
Colorful, brilliant, misty liquid flows out from the mouth of the bottle, dripping on the table.
The desktop has also become colorful, the light is bright, and the mist is steaming.
This material change was almost instantaneous, and Ke Qier's card was still flipping halfway in the air.
He subconsciously looked towards the table.
Colorful, radiant, and steamy, the material flows down the legs of the table to the floor. Follow the floor up the walls and finish at the top of the ceiling.
Silently.
Six sides of the room disappeared from view.
In other words, it has expanded to infinity.
Absolutely not, but it does look very similar to the Void Plane. All six directions were empty, and the pale pink cloud of disease was also cleared away. There was only the square table and the games on it, and a circle of emotions sitting around it to represent the existence.
They seemed to be suspended in the center of an empty universe.
The borders of the universe are colorful, radiant, and steaming.
"Nice vision," Icha said.
For some reason, those wonderful flows of color and flashes of light made him a little uncomfortable. “I just don’t know how it will benefit the [result] you want to achieve.”
"'Severely ill'."
The lawyer at the end capped the narrow-mouth bottle and placed it in front of him. "Heart disease is also a disease."
"Now it's not enough for you to block your sense of touch with light. Please let me introduce to you——"
He raised a hand, and the dazzling colorful light changed with his movements. "'Sensitive Weather'."
"Oh." Yi Cha said.
"It's so cold. But it won't be that soon."
The terminal lawyer smiled excitedly.
"Yes. You must often feel that you are cold, indifferent, and indifferent. Your physical examination report tells me that you only have five emotions. This makes you very calm, calm, rational, and ruthless. So you can face me face to face Sit till now.”
"Believe me, this situation will improve quickly. In 'sensitive weather', you will feel it all - more than two hundred is just a temporary statistic. How many will you feel? Five hundred? Five Thousand species?"
He spread his hands.
"Everything you did in the past, which was no more insignificant than a speck of dust in your heart at the time, is magnified by so many and such chaotic emotions, what will it bring?"
"I think that must be a [result] that I am satisfied with." He concluded proudly.
