Chapter 357 I'm Really Here to Help!
Xia Xiaoyu got up from the ground, looked at the other party warily, and became even more confused.
Just as the other party said, the containment would not lie. Since the Honest Recorder said that she was here to help him, then she must be here to help him. However... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like that. Could it be that she used half-truths to deceive the Honest Recorder?
Maybe she would indeed help her a little, but her more important purpose was to cause trouble.
In an instant, Xia Xiaoyu recalled the time when she met the Rebellious King many years ago.
At that time, she had just tried to find a way to escape from the Mysterious Eye. After a series of sad events, she had the idea of destroying the Mysterious Eye in her heart. But the problem was that although she wanted to destroy the Mysterious Eye, she did not have the ability to do so. Because of the power of the contract, she could not harm those who shared the power.
But even if she couldn't destroy the Mysterious Eye, she didn't want to continue to be an accomplice of the Mysterious Eye, so she stayed away from those who could see her, integrated into the masses, and wandered around in confusion.
It was at that time that Xia Xiaoyu met Zuo Luanjun. She was still very young at that time. When Zuo Luanjun first appeared in front of her, he showed gentleness and wisdom, which made the young Xia Xiaoyu admire him very much. Even when she recalls it now, it was still a pleasant journey.
She was taken to many places by the other party, including Atlantis under the sea, the Dionysus Island which produced fine wine, the Island of Origin with all kinds of strange beasts, the Ice Island with flying snow, and the Upside-down City where everything was upside down.
During that period, she was really happy, and she even regarded him as a family member.
Frankly speaking, although Xia Xiaoyu already knew that the rebellious king was an untrustworthy madman, she still could not regard the current rebellious king as her past self. Although Xia Xiaoyu knew that the former sister Luan was also a disguise, she was more willing to distinguish the two in her heart... a madman is a madman, and sister Luan is sister Luan.
The madman is still alive, and Sister Luan is dead, that's it.
After the other party heard her talk about all the evil things done by the Mysterious Eye, he volunteered to help her get rid of the Mysterious Eye. The solution was also proposed by the Rebellious King, which was: use a special containment object to delete all memories of the contract, thereby getting rid of the influence of the contract.
After breaking free from the constraints of the contract, he used his ability to not be seen by other members to kill everyone one by one.
At that time, Xia Xiaoyu's focus was all on killing. To her, killing was quite stressful. As for whether she should trust the rebellious king, she had never considered it at all.
The result of 100% trust is that she has lost her memory until now. The biggest disadvantage of amnesia is that she is obviously a free person, but she has forgotten that she is a free person. As a result, she has been trapped on the desolate island of Dongyang Island for so many years.
Xia Xiaoyu had reason to suspect that over the years, the rebel had been secretly spying on her life, observing her like a rat in a cage.
"What are you still standing there for? Don't you want to come over? Do you want to leave Flora here? If you don't mind, then Flora is at my disposal." The Rebellious King said with a smile.
Xia Xiaoyu rubbed her stomach, walked to the room she had just been in, pulled out a stool and sat down, then asked unhappily, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I'm here to help you." Zuo Luanjun said, "First, I want to tell you the correct way to deal with the Honest Recorder. The manual of the Honest Recorder recorded in the Alliance archives does not include too many details. I guess you haven't studied it carefully, right? After all, the art of language is endless. If all the changes are to be written in the instructions, I'm afraid millions of words would not be enough to explain it clearly.
In order to prevent you from being deceived by people like me in the future, I will tell you a little loophole of the honest recorder .
How is it? Are you happy? "
"Is this what you meant by helping me?" Xia Xiaoyu said in a deep voice with a cold face.
"No, no, no! You underestimate the honest recorder if you think like that. This little trick can't be hidden from the recorder. If I wanted to kill you before, when you asked me 'Are you here to help me?', I thought in my heart that I could help you clean the room, and then answered 'yes', guess what would happen?"
“…”
"Hey, don't make that expression. I'm here to help you. How can you do this to me? I'll be very sad if you do this." Zuo Luanjun showed a sad expression, but after a few seconds, her expression returned to normal and she said, "Take out the recorder. I'll demonstrate it to you now!"
"don't want."
“Hahaha! You are so naughty.” The Rebellious King smiled and said, “If you don’t take it out, I will kill Flora right now.”
Xia Xiaoyu took a deep breath, took out the honest recorder from storage box No. 7, and placed it beside the bed.
The rebel took the recorder, turned it on, and said, "Try to deceive the recorder, and you will know it soon~"
"Ask me a question quickly, just ask... uh... just ask whether I will run out into the street and kill an innocent passerby in fifteen minutes." said the rebellious man.
Xia Xiaoyu frowned, her intuition told her that this question would bring bad consequences.
"You have no power to choose, just ask!" The Rebellious King twisted his buttocks excitedly while sitting on the chair, as if he was a viewer who had bought a lottery ticket and was waiting in front of the TV for the lottery draw.
"In fifteen minutes...will you run to the street and kill an innocent passerby?" Xia Xiaoyu asked softly.
"No, of course not!" the rebellious king replied loudly.
There was no response from the recorder, and Xia Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, as this meant that the troublemaker was telling the truth.
Just as she was about to let go of her worries, the voice of the Rebellious Lord suddenly rang out: "Ask the same question again now."
Xia Xiaoyu looked up in astonishment, staring into the eyes of the rebel. The aura emanating from her changed. Although she had been smiling since a while ago, her eyes had changed... How to put it... Xia Xiaoyu found it difficult to describe this change. It was as if her eyes, which had been glowing, suddenly became gloomy and gray.
She had no doubt that as long as she asked the question and the other party gave the same answer, the recorder's reminder would change.
"I won't ask anymore. I know if I ask you again, you will definitely say that you will kill innocent passers-by, but this time the recorder will definitely prove that you are telling the truth. Just tell me the trick directly, and I won't ask any more questions." Xia Xiaoyu said.
The rebel was stunned for a moment, leaning back in his chair with a playful smile on his face.
"Well, since you don't want to ask, forget it. The trick to changing the same answer is... to make up your mind to stick to your answer.
Take my question just now as an example. I did not want to kill anyone before, so my answer of not wanting to kill anyone was true, but as long as I made up my mind to kill someone, the original answer would become a lie.
Oh, by the way, there is another trick you need to pay attention to, that is, once you have made up your mind, you must carry it out afterwards. If you don't, you won't be able to fool the recorder in this way next time, because the recorder can detect your intentions deep in your subconscious mind, and it knows that you are just 'pretending to kill someone now, but you won't kill after answering the questions'.
So, the trick to fooling a recorder is to keep your word!
If I say I will kill you, I will kill you. If I say I will help you, I will help you! Only people like me who keep their word can fool it. Others who want to play tricks can't.
That’s why the recorder didn’t tell me I was lying when I said I would help you.”
"How are you going to help me? You will do whatever I say?" Xia Xiaoyu asked puzzledly.
"No, how can I help you? I am the one who chooses." The rebellious man laughed.
Xia Xiaoyu sighed, looking annoyed: "You don't think that helping me clean the house and being my messenger are helping me, right?"
"This kind of trick can't be hidden from an honest recorder. In front of the recorder, except for concealing the answer, any opportunistic method will not work. So the help I'm talking about is naturally real and useful help! Guess how I can help you?" The Rebellious Man kept the suspense.
Xia Xiaoyu had a dead fish face, staring at the other person expressionlessly, without saying a word.
The two stared at each other for half a minute, and finally it was the Rebellious King who broke the silence.
"...Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I will go find Su Ming after I finish the matter at hand and help you ensure Su Ming's safety. To the extent my ability allows, I will ensure his survival until he is cleared of all charges and wrongs." said the rebellious king.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned. She had never expected that the other party would say something so pleasing to her. If the other party really did that... then it would indeed be considered a help to her.
Ever since Su Ming left, she has been worried about Su Ming. It would be best if someone as powerful as Zuo Luan Jun could be Su Ming's bodyguard.
But...she is a dangerous person, is it okay to just believe her words?
Must confirm again!
Xia Xiaoyu thought to herself, and started asking questions again with the honest recorder.
"Is what you just said true?"
"certainly."
"You just said you would ensure Su Ming's survival. Would you deliberately hurt him and then spare his life?"
"I just said that this kind of little trick can't be hidden from the recorder. The truth or falsehood of the answer depends on my understanding of your question. Do you think that hurting and protecting at the same time can be considered helping?"
"Answer my question."
"I won't hurt Su Ming. I'm just protecting him as a last resort."
"Indirect harm is also considered harm. You won't indirectly harm him?" Xia Xiaoyu asked a very detailed question this time. She would rather say more nonsense to find out the other party's true thoughts.
"Hmm... indirect harm, what is indirect? I certainly won't hire someone to assassinate him, but if a few casual words that hurt his self-esteem are considered harm, then that's too harsh. I won't make such a promise.
But since this is to help, I won't play tricks. I won't do anything like inducing Su Ming to do something dangerous.
I said, can't you trust me a little? If not, I should trust the honest recorder. You are insulting this containment!"
"I really don't understand you. Why do you want to help me? What is your purpose in helping me?" Xia Xiaoyu asked the question that she had always been concerned about.
The rebellious king laughed heartily toward the sky, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Because I like you!" she said.
[lie]
The recorder gave the first hint of lying.
Xia Xiaoyu looked at the other party questioningly, but the other party smiled mischievously, shrugged and said, "The question and answer session ends here. It's more interesting to leave some suspense."
After saying that, Zuo Luanjun stood up, patted his dusty pants, and finally asked: "Do you want me to tell Flora something for you? I have to go do my own thing next."
"Tell her to stay in the room and not leave. Tell her that sometimes she will be unconscious and will wake up in a completely different room. At that time, please stay in the room and don't move around," said Xia Xiaoyu.
"OK."
After the rebel conveyed Xia Xiaoyu's words to Flora, he touched Xia Xiaoyu's head and left, leaving Xia Xiaoyu with a complicated expression and Flora with a confused look.
Flora was confused from beginning to end
However, for now, she had no choice but to do as the other party said. As a former employee of the Investigation Bureau, Flora knew best the Bureau's control over this city.
At least this house is safe for now. As long as she leaves this house, no matter what she does, she will easily be exposed to the investigation bureau's sight.
Not to mention the ubiquitous surveillance cameras, even if there were no such cameras, the people from the Ministry of Public Security could send a few employees with the same investigative capabilities as the minister to find her in a short time. Instead of rushing around aimlessly, it is better to follow the instructions of the rescuer and stay where she is quietly.
At the same time, Xia Xiaoyu was thinking about something else. In this incident, she once again realized her own shortcomings in strategy.
Her way of thinking was too simple and she was easily led by others. She was no match for those cunning people in society when it came to psychological games.
Although Xia Xiaoyu thinks she is very smart, her intelligence can only be reflected in learning and cognition. When it comes to humans and human deception, she really can't beat those people in society who deal with others all day long.
As Su Ming said, years of living alone have caused her to lose certain necessary abilities that cannot be acquired through training in a short period of time.
Even though Su Ming told her not to think of the other person as a fool, she was still unable to perform well. Xia Xiaoyu felt that this might be the bottleneck that she could not break through.
This is indeed a big problem, but it is not without a solution.
Now that you know your weaknesses, just find others to make up for them.
Xia Xiaoyu planned to wait for Su Ming to contact her, and then explain to Su Ming all the situations she was currently facing, and let Su Ming make a decision.
