Chapter 134: Invisibility in the Extraordinary World
night.
Maric was invited to Hasta's home. When he came to the door, Butler Neil came out to greet him.
"Where's Hastur?"
"The Baron is dealing with some things. Please go to the study upstairs and wait for a while."
"okay."
Butler Neil led Maric to the study on the second floor. The door of the study was ajar, but Butler Neil pushed it open with a gentle push.
Maric glanced first, and indeed did not see Hasta's figure. He walked into the door and sat on the sofa naturally.
"Guests, please take a seat first. The Baron will be here shortly." Butler Neil said goodbye and left.
At first, Maric could sit quietly, but after waiting for a while, Hasta didn't appear, and his eyes turned to the bookshelf on the left front, where there were many books.
Most of the books are about legal knowledge, and some are about linguistics, such as Elvish, Giant, and Ancient Hermetic.
Apart from these, there are only a few scattered books recording occult knowledge.
With the idea that idleness is also idle, Maric got up and went to the bookshelf, picked out a book that he was more interested in, sat on the sofa and started reading.
After reading for more than ten minutes, Maric placed the book on the sofa and frowned slightly, feeling a little strange.
In his impression, Hastur has always been a person who has a very good sense of time. Logically, he would not have to wait for such a long time.
Did you encounter some difficulty?
Maric thought for a while, but still didn't go out to search, and still chose to stay in the study.
Butler Neil came twice, once bringing drinks and snacks, and once bringing several bottles of fine wine.
"Something's wrong."
The more Malic thought about it, the more strange he felt. He got up and walked around the study. When he returned to the sofa, there was a familiar figure sitting on it, Hasta.
"When did you come in?"
Maric glanced at the door that was still closed as he spoke.
Hastur said with a smile: "I have always been here."
"Don't be ridiculous, if you stay here all the time, there's no way I wouldn't notice you."
Maric came to the sofa and sat down on the empty seat next to Hastur.
"Perhaps your eyes deceived you."
"Oh, I prefer to believe that you deceived me."
Maric chuckled, opened a bottle of wine, and poured himself a full glass.
"Maric, do you know why human eyes can see?"
"..."
Maric was stunned for a moment and said, "If you can't see anything with your eyes, do you still call them eyes?"
Hastur smiled and said, "Then do you know how a blind man becomes blind?"
"Because their eyes are broken, they naturally can't see anything."
"That's true, but it's neither accurate nor scientific."
"??"
Marich's mind was full of questions. He felt that Hasta was a bit weird today and his words were confused.
"It would be great if the person here today was Miss Sharon."
Hasta sighed with emotion. Maric felt that this sentence seemed to be mocking his own IQ?
Before he could react, Hastur, who was still in sight, suddenly disappeared.
Maric's face instantly became solemn, and he tentatively shouted: "Hasta?"
no respond.
"Invisibility?"
Maric raised his brows slightly, put down the wine glass with his right hand, and then patted Hastur's position at a very fast speed.
It was empty and no one was photographed.
"This magic is really interesting."
Maric's interest was greatly increased at this moment, and he was determined to uncover Hasta's little trick.
Stand up and walk around, occasionally punching and kicking towards an empty spot.
But Hastur's true location has never been found.
Only then did Maric become truly serious.
I began to understand why Hasta invited himself to his home as a guest today and made himself wait in the study for so long.
Hastur obviously wanted to use his hand to test his new ability.
"Can't see with the naked eye, how can it be deceived even by spiritual vision?"
Maric turned on his spiritual vision and scanned the entire study again, but still found no trace of Hastur.
"You couldn't have taken advantage of the effort just now to sneak outside, right?"
As soon as Maric finished speaking, there was a sound of turning books on the other side of the bookshelf, as if Hastur was telling him that he was still in the study and had not slipped out.
"It's really interesting, an extraordinary version of hide-and-seek?"
Maric hurried to the place where the sound of turning books had just been heard. No one was seen, but he was not depressed. Instead, he had a smile on his face.
I saw cold air emanating from his body, and the light blue cold air enveloped him in all directions. At the same time, he transformed into a werewolf form, with a pair of wolf ears raised to listen.
As the cold air passed, a light layer of frost formed on the ground.
After almost a few seconds, Maric's wolf ears moved slightly, and his body crashed five meters to the left.
boom!
The speed was very fast, knocking Hastur out of the so-called invisible state.
"Invisibility isn't that easy to use."
Maric raised his chin slightly, his tone revealing undisguised pride.
Hasta covered his shoulders, rubbed them twice and said, "Sure enough, there are still a lot of loopholes."
"Hasta, are you planning to use this ability to spy on some noble lady bathing?"
Hasta looked at Maric's face and sighed, "I'm different from you."
"..."
Maric felt insulted for no reason.
"Well, let's get back to business."
Hasta didn't give Maric a chance to get angry and changed the subject first.
"Where do you think my invisibility needs to be improved?"
"When you move, you make a slight sound. Although you are very restrained and use very little force, you still can't escape my ears."
Maric thought for a while and said, "When facing a large range of extraordinary abilities, it is easy to force you out of the invisible state."
"Also, you have a faint smell of perfume on you. Although it is very slight, some extraordinary people have very sharp five senses and can easily detect abnormal changes in the air."
Hasta humbly accepted the advice. These are all directions he needs to improve.
"I haven't thought of other questions yet. You can ask Sharon to help you."
"Will Miss Sharon help with this?"
Hasta was a little tempted. Compared with Maric, Sharon was undoubtedly a more suitable tester.
"Don't worry, I'll talk to Sharon for you. She should also be very interested in your ability."
Maric had a bright smile on his face, as if he was responsible for it.
"Wait until tomorrow night. I need some time to improve my invisibility."
"I really look forward to what kind of shock you can bring to Sharon."
Maric was obviously watching the fun and not minding the trouble.
"It would be embarrassing if I was found all of a sudden."
"It's okay. It's not embarrassing to lose to Sharon. I became a Sequence 9 Beyonder earlier than her, but she still surpassed me. Now, she has left me behind."
Then Maric stayed in the study to give Hasta some relevant suggestions. From beginning to end, he did not ask Hasta how he did it.
After sending Maric away, Hasta stayed in the study alone to continue to improve his invisibility.
Today, he was able to deceive Maric's eyes and spirit vision in succession because he set two rules for himself in the study room in advance.
The first rule: He will not emit any light within a certain distance around him.
In short, it is to achieve the so-called invisibility effect by deceiving people's eyes.
This involves modern science and is a bit complicated. If Hastur did not have extraordinary abilities, he would not be able to do this.
In addition to this rule, there is also the help of secret authority.
Otherwise, it is impossible to hide the fluctuations of the rules here.
From Maric's perspective, he cannot sense the breath and fluctuations of the rules here, and the naked eye cannot see Hastur, thus forming the so-called invisibility.
The second rule is specifically used to deceive spirit vision, which is even simpler with the help of secret authority.
Deceiving the naked eye and spirit vision so that they cannot play their due role is the basic principle of Hastur's invisibility at this stage.
It sounds powerful, but in fact there are many limitations.
The ability of extraordinary people is far beyond that of ordinary people. Like the five senses mentioned by Maric, as long as any one of the senses is extremely outstanding, even with eyes closed, he can sense where he is.
The invisibility of the body is based on the principle of light imaging, but not all extraordinary people observe the world through this principle.
There is also the issue of sequence level. I am only sequence 7, and it is easy to be seen through by extraordinary people of higher sequence.
The so-called invisibility is more like a joke of the emperor's new clothes.
"If there is only a spirit body, it is easier to achieve invisibility."
Hasta soon realized that no matter how he made the rules, the innate nature of the body destined it to be unable to be completely hidden.
In the spirit state, the naked eye cannot see directly, and it can also float in the air. It will not make any sound when it moves, and there is no smell to smell.
Just like the state of a ghost, it is inherently more suitable to be the carrier of invisibility than the body.
If I want to deceive extraordinary people like Sharon, it is only possible in the spirit state.
With a direction, Hasta continued to study how to improve the second version of invisibility.
