Chapter 1083 The Special Features of the Six-Eyed Cult

Xia Shou sighed and said seriously, "I'm not quite sure either. My body has already entered the book, but my spirit has crossed over to reality through the ritual."

Merlin's House is not completely bound to me. Although it is my shadow, the shadow is only a channel connecting to Merlin's House.

So while I was inside the book, the balance of desire within Merlin's House continued to crumble.

I think that in reality, Merlin's House should have a location. Once my spirit arrives in reality, through some kind of sensing, Merlin's House will establish a connection with my shadow sensing.

But if I hadn't come to reality, then Merlin's House must exist somewhere in this world as some kind of anomaly... or maybe in another dimension, anyway, I'm not sure.

I wonder what would happen in reality if Merlin's House went out of control and went berserk while I was in the book.

"And there's Vero too, Vero needs to be dealt with, otherwise I... you won't be able to get close to anyone else in the future!" Su Weiyu emphasized this point.

"So we have to find a way to get rid of that dog."

However, it would actually be best to seal it away in Merlin's House.

If we can seal it in Merlin's House, and then seal the River of Molten Gold as well, then the balance between the two can be re-established, and the environment of desire in Merlin's House can be rebalanced.

But even if I could seal it, I'd have to actually come out of the book first. Otherwise, without Alice, I wouldn't even be able to enter Merlin's House, let alone open the door.

Xia Shou mentioned the most crucial matter.

That comes from the book.

It's not about detaching from the story like last time, but about truly and thoroughly transforming one's existence from the book into reality, just like Hamlet and Shakespeare did.

Of course, there are some slight differences between the two. Shakespeare and Hamlet exchanged their existences, while Xia Shou's purpose is to transform them out of thin air.

Originally, they finally got information about Daniel Wallace's whereabouts from Dorian Gray, but in reality, Su Yue and her companions did not find Daniel at the Dream Theater.

Instead, Edward, who had recently returned from Japan, brought news about Daniel, saying that Daniel should be at An Gang's house, which An Gang euphemistically called "visiting".

These were all pieces of information that Xia Shou had heard in just half a day.

Although each of these things was closely related to him, Xia Shou felt a sense of unreality.

From his perspective, he was actually in the Möbius Canyon not long ago, and Vero had just appeared.

Then, the next second, he suddenly found himself sitting in this completely unfamiliar room, using a body that didn't belong to him, with his five senses not being very sensitive, wearing a mask, listening to others talk about things he had no memory of at all.

At first, every time Su Yue explained something to him, he would have a bunch of questions he wanted to ask in return.

What does it mean that I was bitten and crippled, and then entered the book with the minister? And why did the minister want to enter the book with me?

What is the information I got about Daniel from Dorian Gray in the Heavenly Choir?
What is the meaning of Alice's mental corruption turning her into an adversary, preventing him from solving the problem of Vero?

He felt like the man who lost his way; what seemed like only a second had passed in his mind, but in reality, several days had gone by and a whole host of things had happened.

He wanted to ask Su Yue about every single thing she said in detail, but after she talked for five minutes, Xia Shou gave up.

He realized that this matter couldn't be sorted out in just a few days.

Instead of getting bogged down in the minutiae, we should target the core conflict and launch a full-scale attack. "What's that woman's name?" Xia Shou asked Edward.

"Yin Mingzi seems to be the current leader of the Six Eyes Cult, but I don't know much about the Six Eyes Cult."

However, it's not that they leak little information, but rather that their sect's organizational structure is extremely complex, differing greatly from ordinary secular sects.

I learned from the secret tongues of the past that the Six Eyes Cult had a tradition similar to that of ant colonies a long time ago.

Because their fundamental goal is not power, but to ensure that the predictions of the previous perpetual calendar are presented as they are, there are no time-bound requirements for action leaders.

There have been previous cases where, upon the death of the leader of the Six Eyes Cult, the position was not taken over by a deputy, but was continued by a previous leader from the past.

To put it simply, the Six Eyes Cult has no requirements regarding the extraordinary power of their leaders, only standards for their ability to judge situations.

Moreover, there is almost no competition among them, or rather, believers who are obsessed with competition are likely to be outsiders who do not understand the religious goals at all.

Because their goal is to establish a paradise after the pre-perpetual calendar ascends, individual lives have no value to these believers. As long as they dedicate themselves selflessly, once the pre-perpetual calendar ascends, all the people of the Six Eyes Cult will go to the theater without an end to watch countless exciting dramatic stories.

Of course, whether this ultimate paradise can be achieved is something we mortals can't judge, but all we need to know is that everyone in the Six Eyes Cult firmly believes in it.

It is precisely because of this firm belief that the culprit who previously ambushed Lin Rizhi, causing him to fall into the underworld, is completely unconcerned about his own fate.

So... Xia Shou, when you're thinking about how to deal with these people, you should try to put yourself in their shoes.

For ordinary cults, decapitation strikes are highly effective, but for a swarm like the Six Eyes Cult, when one queen ant dies, another automatically emerges.

If you kill their leader, at most they will elect a new one, or simply choose one from the past.

Each of them is happy to use their present-day seat to replace past leaders in the cyclical history.

They feared things not going as they expected more than death or organizational destruction.

For example... if the previous perpetual calendar predicted that you would completely destroy the Six Eyes Cult, then if you don't destroy it, it will be the last thing they want to see, and they will actively seek death.

So, the woman's decision to reveal Daniel's whereabouts might have been part of this scheme.

"So what's your suggestion?" Xia Shou asked slowly.

"It's better not to ask for my advice."

I'm not good at directly deducing key elements; even in deductive analysis, I prefer to find a more suitable direction for investigation.

This is also a mental inertia brought about by overly strong investigative abilities. If you want to share my thoughts, I think that continuing to investigate further and obtain more information would increase the chances of success.

But this is just my personal feeling; the reality may not be so, otherwise I wouldn't just be an investigator.

When playing a jigsaw puzzle, sometimes finding all the pieces and putting them together is the fastest way to see the final picture.

However, sometimes, by simply imagining the blank spaces based on the already pieced-together edges and corners, one can guess the original pattern.

I'm just better at jigsaw puzzles, but most of the time... I'm still too slow, like that time with the Blood Demon's House.
