Chapter 1006 Monkey Experiments
In the living room, Yin Mingzi sat on the sofa, brewed a pot of tea with the tea leaves he had brought, and just sat there, looking at Carter and Kanae with a meaningful gaze that seemed to say something but not quite.

"You don't know me, but I know you."

Don't think of me as too terrible; I'm just someone who knows a lot.

However, many people are afraid of others because others know a lot about them, especially when that person knows a lot about them, because it makes them feel insecure.

This is normal and understandable; people are all like this, and I am one of them.

Knowing a lot isn't a big deal; it just sounds impressive. Knowing a lot is no different from being good at fighting or being beautiful. It's just that modern society has elevated the status of intelligence too much, which is why people feel an unfounded fear of those who know too much.

Moreover, what I know is only very general information; I don't know many details about you, and the details I do know are things you can't verify. It's truly... an indescribable subtlety.

“What are you trying to say?” Carter interrupted.

"About your family's ties to Alice, those cruel rituals within your family that are kept secret and never revealed, and what's behind that door."

I know that just saying this isn't enough to shock you. Although these are indeed secrets, it's not impossible that they were discovered, right?
But to be honest, because you know so little, I don't have anything that can immediately shock you when I say it. How about your grandfather's diary? You must have read it, right?

Carter gasped, trying to sound calm as he replied, "So what if nobles have the habit of keeping diaries? There's nothing special about it."

"You know, I'm referring to the contents of the diary. You see, you're already a little insecure, but please don't be hostile or wary of me. I have no intention of threatening you. It's just that secrets are often things that can't be made public. After all... if they could be made public, they wouldn't be secrets."

To gain your trust in a short time, I have to say some things that will make you uneasy, which is not my intention.

I'm only saying all this to let you know that I know a lot, so that you can believe what I'm about to say. After all, what I'm about to talk about involves the very distant ancient times. Although it's closely related to your family, you have no way of verifying its authenticity.

Therefore, whether our communication goes smoothly depends on your level of trust in me.

Of course, the same goes for Ms. Angang; I will prove myself to you later.

Actually, compared to that gentleman, your desires are quite normal. Miss Angang wants to go to Moyusi to see her mother, while Prince Carter wants to seal Alice and completely break the family curse. Of course... perhaps you have similar thoughts to your grandfather, but that has nothing to do with me.

In short, this is the motivation that has driven your efforts so far, and there can't be anything wrong with that.

However, the two of them have something in common: although they know what needs to be done now, they have absolutely no understanding of the origins of this entanglement that has lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years.

And I can answer your questions.

Yin Mingzi gave a very sincere smile, but his strange eyebrows added a dangerous allure to that sincerity.

Carter and Kanae remained silent; the air was thick with tension.

Just as the woman said, she felt extremely unsafe if too much of her secrets were known. "What's there to hesitate about? Your master has already failed, and you don't know what to do next, do you? After all, Sprite has been killed."

Since that's the case, let me tell you first. I not only know about you two, but I also know a lot of inside information about your master.

Haha, don't look at me like that. Everyone has their own strengths. The Blood God of the Crescent Moon is a secret master, the Scissors are a sewing bird that picks up dreams... Just as gods have their own domains, so do we believers.

Aren't you even a little curious about your family history? You should know that for a family like yours, the environment you grew up in, all your habits, everything is related to this original cause that has been hidden and forgotten.

Perhaps you two also have this thought: What does the history of our ancestors have to do with me now? The fact that our family has continued like this for so many years means that we can continue to live even if we know nothing.

If that's the case, I'd like to describe a common experiment.

It was an experiment involving monkeys picking bananas.

"Is it that banana spraying experiment?" Carter asked.

“That’s right, Miss Kanae doesn’t seem to understand.” Yinmingzi looked at Kanae.

“I don’t care much about scientific knowledge,” Kanae said, frowning.

"Then let me briefly explain again."

A scientist once put a group of monkeys in a cage with a bunch of bananas hanging from the top and a sprinkler installed. Whenever a monkey tried to pick the bananas, the sprinkler would spray water.

Because monkeys love to eat bananas, almost all of them tried to pick them, but without exception, they all got soaked by the water sprayed from the sprinkler. After a while, it seemed that all the monkeys understood this "principle"—that they would get wet if they tried to pick the bananas. So, not a single monkey tried to pick the bananas hanging on the top of the cage, even though they all loved to eat them.

Later, the researchers replaced one of the original monkeys with a new monkey, A. When monkey A saw the bananas on top of the cage, it tried to pick them, just like the original monkey had done at the beginning.

At this point, all the original monkeys rushed up and beat up monkey A. From then on, whenever monkey A tried to pick bananas, it would be beaten up by the other monkeys. After a while, monkey A, like the original monkeys, gave up its attempt to pick bananas.

Then, the researchers replaced one of the original monkeys with another new monkey, B.

What happened next was the same as when Monkey A first came in: Monkey B would be beaten up whenever he tried to pick bananas, and Monkey A would beat him the hardest and most viciously.

It was never watered, and for some reason, it just knew that anyone who tried to eat a banana would get beaten.

And so, after a long time, all the original monkeys were replaced, and the monkeys in the cage had changed several times over. The sprinklers on top had long been removed, but whenever a new monkey tried to pick bananas, it would be brutally beaten by the other monkeys. As for why it was beaten, none of the monkeys knew the reason, but each monkey had consciously developed this habit.

"what do you mean?"
