Lord of Enigma

"I choose…this one!"

In the carriage, Macauley returned the glass bottle with gray liquid in his hand back to Tang Qi.

He raised his other hand slightly, holding a bright and fiery red potion. This was his choice.

Without hesitation, under Tang Qi's gaze, Macauley pulled the cork away, and then raised his head, pouring the whole bottle of elixir into his mouth.

Throughout the whole process, Tang Qi just watched quietly, without any intention of stopping.

At the same time, he didn't put away the "secret potion of amnesia".

If the "Words of Kumon" failed, Macauley would have to drink it. Otherwise, Tang Qi must take some extreme methods, which would deviate his direction of doing things.

Tang Qi observed Macauley. After drinking the secret medicine, his body immediately underwent a strange change.

A crimson color like magma began to spread from his head downwards, and his body instantly entered a state of drunkenness. With a bang, he collapsed on the carriage seat. He seemed to be trapped in some kind of dream, frowning tightly, and muttering some words…

Tang Qi watched in the shadows while counting down silently.

There was a clear distinction between success and failure with the "Words of Kumon" secret medicine.

It was created to relieve the pain of dying soldiers, so it was inevitable to take effect within a short time.

This time limit was ten seconds.

If this time limit was exceeded and Macauley did not wake up, then that meant that the secret medicine had failed.

At that time, there would be unknown consequences.

After all, this was a secret medicine for hypnosis. If it failed, even Tang Qi, the refiner, wouldn't be able to guess what kind of hypnosis the user had suffered

And before Macauley took the secret potion, Tang Qi had planted enough hints in his mind.

"Take the red potion, you will gain strength…can work for me…"

With these hints, plus the contrast of another potion that obviously causes amnesia, Macauley should have a similar desire in his heart, which would increase the success rate of the secret potion.

In Abu's experiment log, when the dying soldiers of the Saha Continent were eager to "forget the pain", they had a very high chance of success in taking the "Words of Kumon".

As long as Macauley's inner desire to "work for me", matches the secret potion's command "loyal to me", there will also be a very high chance of success.

If this still failed, Tang Qi would have no other choice.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

…

Tang Qi was counting down silently in the shadows of the compartment. His body seemed relaxed, but in fact, he could enter a fighting state at any time. This was also to prevent the secret medicine from failing. After all, there were many examples in the experiment log that a dying soldier would attack others crazily after taking the secret medicine

The reason was probably an unknown hypnosis effect.

Just as he was about to say "two".

On the seat opposite him, Macauley, who had been like a "magma monster", suddenly opened his eyes, and the fiery red color on his body disappeared in an instant, and a very magical aura appeared on his body.

Macauly was still not an extraordinary person, but he had a calm demeanor.

If you helped him change into a decent suit, he would no longer have this sloppy look. Even if he was still disabled, it was easy to make people have a favorable impression of him.

"Sir, have I passed the test?"

Macauley readjusted himself and sat upright in front of him, asking respectfully.

Although his posture seemed no different from before, his temperament had changed a lot, and at the same time, there was something that he didn't notice about himself.

"Are these the positive side effects of the secret medicine?"

Tang Qi put away the secret medicine of amnesia and smiled faintly.

Success!

Macauley hadn't noticed it himself, or perhaps he would never notice it.

There was a hint of obscurity in his eyes, flashing with a trace of loyalty to Tang Qi, as if he had substituted into a new role, the role of "Tang Qi's subordinate", and this impression would be deepened over time.

And this process, not only can't be perceived but would also be accepted very naturally by Macauley.

This was the effect of the "Words of Kumon" secret medicine, it was not the sort of forced hypnosis.

To some extent, it can be regarded as a secret medicine that can satisfy "desires".

For example, soldiers on the verge of death hoped that they wouldn't suffer any more pain. And if they took the secret medicine, they could forget all the pain as they desired and return to the embrace of death in their dreams.

If someone who wanted to feel happy took the secret medicine, he could be happy.

It was a kind of secret medicine with positive effects.

Of course, in the end, it all was dependent on how the user used it.

Moreover, it was mainly aimed at ordinary people or low-level extraordinary people, and the inner "desires" of the users could not exceed a certain limit. This boundary should be physical and mental, and it couldn’t be applied to external materials.

If a man took the secret medicine of "Words of Kumon" and wanted to become a woman, then he had a chance to succeed.

However, if someone hoped to become rich, he would surely fail. The secret medicine couldn't produce divine grace gold coins out of thin air.

The most important thing was that different desires must correspond to different commands.

Most secret pharmacists were stuck at this stage.

For example, Abu's transformation experiments all ended in failure.

Tang Qi succeeded, but he relied on cheating.

But from the perspective of investment and gain, it was worth it.

"It's a very special but effective secret medicine. Perhaps it can't train a daredevil with no fear of death, but it will allow me to no longer work alone. In the future, some matters that are inconvenient for me to deal with can be handed over to Macauley. This was originally the reason why I chose him. "

"A force that can only be in the dark is best cultivated from scratch, and easier to control."

"What's more, for Macauley, he did get a chance to change his destiny."

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on his face.

In the carriage, the atmosphere became relaxed, and a voice came into Macauley's ears.

"Yes, you passed the test, and you will be rewarded."

"Sir…."

Macauley has now completely substituted into the role of a loyal subordinate, which was what he longed for, so there was no sense of disobedience in his change. At this time, when he heard Tang Qi, he subconsciously wanted to say that he didn’t need any reward and was willing to work for him unconditionally.

However, just as he looked up, he saw an incomparably magical secret potion.

There was a clear water-like liquid in the transparent glass bottle, but the liquid seemed to be constantly blown away by the wind, with rippling waves going in circles, which was incredible.

When Macauley froze, Tang Qi ordered with a commanding voice.

"Drink it!"

"Yes!"

Macauley didn't even ask the name of the potion, nor did he ask about the effect.

He didn't even give it a second glance. After hearing Tang Qi's order, he directly opened the cork and poured all the liquid into his mouth.

Then, this lame little beggar felt the power of the "supernatural" for the first time.
