——As expected, you should first give people hope, and when they think they will get HAPPYEND by taking one more step forward, then give them despair.
——Only in this way can there be enough sense of ceremony!
Yes, a sense of ceremony!
The more Masha thought about it, the happier he became.
——Thank me.
——With your personality, Chen Guangyi, you will definitely end up in a bleak way in the future and become a laughing stock and a negative example.
—And now, I will at least let you have a good reputation after your death.
At this moment, Masha suddenly realized something.
——Wait a minute, why do I feel like I’m starting to become like a real evil god?
--No way?
----
Today I got a legendary weapon in Borderlands 3, it's very Cthulhu.
The whole gun looks like a combination of an octopus and a brain. After firing the bullet and throwing it away, it will turn into a brain with spider legs and eyes. This brain runs all over the ground, firing ammunition as it runs.
Finally, it will rush towards the enemy and explode.
The key is that this thing makes a very mentally polluting sound when it runs.
The Taoist priest who was playing with me said: "Your gun is almost making me lose my sanity..."
Chapter 648 Exaggerated acting skills
After Masha came out of the dream, he seriously thought about this question: Am I now a little too intoxicated with the feeling of control?
——Why does my current behavior pattern feel like it’s beginning to resemble the real “King in Yellow” in the Cthulhu mythology?
——No, that's not right. The King in Yellow is just a script created by Hastur. Its function is to pull those who read the script into the dream "given" by the Old One Hastur.
——Why does this feel more like me?
Masha lowered his head and looked at the dream spinning top that had fallen at his feet. He picked it up and held it in his hand, staring at it.
——I am... gradually becoming Hastur? That's impossible, right?
Chihiro pushed Masa's shoulder and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the gyro?"
"No." Masha shook her head, then looked at Chihiro, "Look at me, I ask you, do you think you are normal now?"
"I'm definitely normal." Chihiro answered without hesitation, "I think you're not normal."
The other girls nodded.
The League Secretary said: "Could it be that Chen Guangyi has taken over your body? Ugh, so disgusting."
"That's not the case. I just suddenly realized that what I'm doing seems to be what the Old One Hastur likes to do."
The League Secretary interjected: "And you think you might be the Great Old One Hastur?"
Masha: "This... this is an academic discussion of possibilities, possibilities."
The league secretary looked Masha up and down and said, "I now suspect that you just saw Hastur in your dream."
That's another way of saying Masha has gone crazy.
Masha pretended not to understand, recalled for a moment and said, "No, I'm sure I didn't see any strange tentacles or eyes in my dream just now."
——However, I have already created spaces filled with indescribable polygons and maddening whispers in my dreams.
——And it feels quite effective.
Masha decided not to tell the girls this for the time being.
However, when the three girls with masked princess riders saw Masha's expression, they showed an expression of "Ah, you are hiding something" and exchanged glances with each other.
Cai Shi watched from the side and bit her lips hard.
Masha clapped her hands: "Okay, it's late, I have to get up early for morning exercises tomorrow, go to sleep!"

At the same time, in the basement of the Central Church of Mont Saint-Michel in France, holographic projections of several elderly gentlemen were holding a meeting around a round table.
"Our attempt was immediately countered. Although it was hard to believe, I didn't expect that Ying could actually do such a thing."
The old man who was speaking had a chair with the zodiac sign Taurus painted on the back.
As soon as Taurus finished speaking, Cancer spoke up, "Could it be that Ying has already gotten ahead of us and obtained the power of some powerful person in ancient times - some true god?"
Aries: "I don't know if they just resurrected God, or found a child with the same superpowers as God."
Libra: "In Chinese mythology, are there gods with anti-tracking skills? In their mythology, there are indeed people with super-strong detection abilities like Clairvoyance and Superb Ears, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who is proficient in anti-tracking."
"The superpowers recorded in myths are not necessarily historical facts. They may have been distorted and deteriorated in the process of being passed down by word of mouth. Perhaps clairvoyance is actually achieved through dreams, which is similar to the effect of seeing thousands of miles away." Aries retorted, "It is not rigorous to judge what kind of superpowers an ancient country like China had in the mythological era based solely on myths and legends."
Pisces interrupted: "If the Chinese have found a child with supernatural powers, does that mean that our action of introducing a large number of Iraqi refugees is correct? The blood of these people may contain the power of the gods of the Mesopotamian civilization or even Mesopotamia."
"That's for sure." Virgo said loudly, "Superpowers are a mutation that occurs when humans adapt to the environment of spiritual energy revival. Naturally, there will be DNA that is easy to mutate and DNA that is difficult to mutate.
“In the mythological age, there were nations with more true gods. Their DNA must be more adapted to this world of spiritual revival and more prone to mutation!
"This is logically perfect!"
Of the other eleven old gentlemen, five nodded approvingly.
Those who didn't nod didn't object.
Taurus spoke again: "Those kinds of things can be considered later. The most urgent task now is to investigate the internal traitor. Although it is possible that Ying identified the target through reverse detection by a strange superpower, we cannot rule out the possibility that we have an internal traitor.
"Maybe the Shadow noticed our actions since we mixed the Arabian Bronze Hand into the antiques given to them by MI6, and they have already targeted Boule de Suif and the others."
"If that's the case," Sagittarius said with a worried look on his face, "wouldn't we have been infiltrated to pieces? Even an elder like me doesn't know the location of Sherlock Holmes, Moriarty, and Boule de Suif."
Gemini: “No, this may be a betrayal by one of my low-level operators who is directly responsible for arranging the living quarters for these three people. I will fire all the low-level operators, temporarily replace them with mid-level operators, and carefully investigate the mid-level operators.
"Of course, my most senior and loyal operator will also be investigated," Gemini added.
At this time, Capricorn asked: "Gentlemen, it is important to find out the traitor, but...shouldn't we fight back? Didn't Ying's actions this time reveal some information we can use?"
“No,” Cancer shook his head. “This is the most frightening part. We found nothing except a drone that flew into the sky without applying for registration with the Civil Aviation Administration. We have already turned the location where the drone took off upside down. Believe me, we didn’t miss anything.
"The shadow seemed to appear suddenly, and then disappeared just as suddenly."
Libra frowned: "How is this possible? To launch an attack of this scale, even if the assault force can be sent through the magical prop door controlled by Ying, in addition to the assault force, the corresponding support team still needs to be prepared locally.
"If nothing else, considering that the door might be damaged in battle, Ying should have prepared an alternative retreat route. As the Chinese say, don't put all your eggs in one basket!
"There must be a sleeper cell in the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area. No, they should have a support force including an operations base and several safe houses! After all, the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world."
Cancer: "Theoretically, there must be one, but we can't find it. We have asked the intelligence department and the police to work overtime to find it, but we have found nothing so far."
"Are you sure this isn't because many people don't want to work overtime, and don't work hard when they do?" Virgo asked in a teasing tone.
"The Army Intelligence Agency didn't find any valuable clues either." Cancer added, "The shadows disappeared, completely disappeared, as if they had never existed."
For a moment, everyone at the conference table fell silent.
Finally, Taurus said, "Shadow is mysterious and unpredictable. He comes and goes without a trace. Didn't we know this a long time ago?"
"Yeah." Pisces sighed, "If we can catch Ying's fox tail just by working overtime, then Britain and the United States would not have gained nothing until now. Oh, and the Soviets and East Germans, they also gained nothing."
"You forgot about the Mossad."
"You mean those guys who like to use honey traps and assassinations? Well, I forgot about them, I'll add them in now."
Taurus: "There is no need to discuss this anymore. Let's check for the traitor and pretend that the Shadow organization does not exist. Next, we will continue to look for the child who inherited the power of the true god of the mythological era. As long as we can obtain the power of God, we don't need to care about these trivial matters."

Meanwhile, the UK.
Ms. M frowned and held the receiver: "Hello? This is M, what's up?"
"Ms. M, just now, a sudden awakening occurred in downtown London, and we have confirmed that the awakener is on the list provided by Masha!"
Ms. M was slightly stunned.
——Awakened so quickly? Could this be a trick arranged by the Shadow Organization?
——It is indeed possible that Ying deliberately mixed a few members who have been lurking in downtown London for a long time into the list, and then let these lurkers who had long been awakened perform an "awakening" drama.
——This will deceive MI6 and make us believe that Ying does have a long list of potential awakeners.
——Secondly, it can plant spies in MI6.
Ms. M became increasingly skeptical about the authenticity of this awakening.
——But if this was a planned drama, the Shadow Organization was a bit too hasty. This is not like the Shadow's style.
——So, the possibility of this being a true awakening is not impossible.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ms. M gave an order to the person on the other end of the phone: "Immediately ensure the safety of the person who suddenly awakened, and tell him that we are waiting for his arrival. Then send someone to contact the other people on the list provided by Ying, and gather them together to live a collective life!"
After giving the order, Ms. M leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh.
——Although I have made up my mind to remove the mysterious veil of Shadow and confirm its true identity, but...
Ms. M looked at the tablet computer she had just been using. The screen showed a detailed report on the super-powered battle that had taken place in Paris yesterday.
——Comparing this report with previous Shadow action reports, it will be discovered that there are unexpectedly few people with super powers involved in these Shadow actions, and Shadow members have to "guest star" in different venues.
——Although this can be explained by the fact that because Shadow can use that door to achieve global mobility, it only retains one or two teams of psychics to directly carry out field missions.
Anyway, the main mobile forces can easily achieve the so-called "global reach". Instead of raising a bunch of super-powered people of varying quality, it is better to raise a few capable ones to serve as a rapid reaction force.
If this were true, Ms. M would not be surprised at all.
——However, there is another possibility.
Ms. M thought back to the underground city she had seen.
——That city gives me a feeling of... a fortress!
——Could it be that the Shadow is actually fighting against something dangerous and needs powerful psychics to take turns on duty, resulting in a shortage of manpower for field activities?
——No, it's impossible. How could such an evil organization do something that only heroes would do?
Ms. M waved away the thought.

The next morning, Masha took a group of girls to do morning exercises with the super-powered people of the flying team as usual.
Then he discovered that Chen Guangyi seemed to have developed resistance to the lemon that Masha fed him!
Masha carefully observed Chen Guangyi's expression and felt that this guy had probably gained resistance to lemons because he saw a bright prospect of defeating Masha and taking revenge one day in the future!
Masha was shocked - this was not fun anymore.
He had never expected that after morning exercise, Chen Guangyi would suddenly fly up while washing up and head straight for the floating island.
Not only did Chen Guangyi head straight for the floating island, he also broke directly into the world inside the car.
This made Masha very unhappy: What if my girl is taking a bath or something, then you will have the advantage, right?
——If this kind of thing really happens, you don’t have to be a double agent anymore, just die, okay?
Chen Guangyi was completely unaware of Masha's displeasure, or perhaps he noticed it but pretended not to notice.
He lowered his voice and said to Masha, "803, I have something to tell you."
——Wow, no way, I sent you a dream yesterday and it was so effective!
While Masha was complaining in her heart, she asked Chen Guangyi seriously: "What is it? Can't we talk about it after work hours?"
"No." Chen Guangyi said firmly.
Masha was shocked and thought to himself, this guy really likes to take advantage of others. I am your boss, is it your turn to talk like this?
However, he, Masha, often makes fun of others and has no right to complain about others.
Masha suppressed his anger and said calmly: "Okay. Tell me."
"The shadow organization contacted me through a dream." Chen Guangyi went straight to the point.
Masha pretended to be shocked and performed a tactical fadeaway at the level of an international superstar.
