Chapter 3275 The ability of the ghost butler

 In general, Xiaohong’s interpretation of “taste” has a bit of a metaphysical flavor.

Even the dog steward who discovered Xiaohong’s talent sometimes didn’t understand what Xiaohong could smell and what information he could get.

 The only thing Dog Butler can be sure of is that Xiaohong is the most sensitive to the smell of "malice". As long as the malice is directed at Xiaohong or someone related to her, she can smell it.

This is actually the reason why Xiaohong is not afraid of Angel and others, and even brings them to see Butler Dog without saying a word.

 Because Angel, Laplace and others are all “good cards” in Xiaohong’s eyes.

"Can detect malice and smell other special information. The most important thing is that everything happens unconsciously..." If Xiaohong hadn't taken the initiative to say something strange, Luigi wouldn't even be aware of her specialness. These alone actually surprised Luigi.

 Perhaps not as powerful as first imagined, but not far behind.

Especially in the Wanshiwuwu, where the hollow people gather together, she can fully utilize her abilities.

 After Angel learned about Xiaohong’s ability, the first thing he thought of was the Star Attendant in the heart space. Star Attendant is also a hollow person. Maybe we can ask Xiao Hong to help us take a look and get some hidden information on him?

However, this idea only existed for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was unnecessary.

 Hingshi's past is actually not important, what is important is his future.

If you really want to worry about Xingshi's past, you still have a wishing book. The information hidden in it is enough for Star Attendant to interpret in the future.

While Angel was thinking about it, Xiao Hong had already returned to the guest room.

 She ran to the table excitedly, handed the deacon token back to the dog deacon, and then began to talk about the information she had found.

"Sipolov did come to the House of Everything. According to the information I found, he went to see the Ghost Deacon. However, I did not find out why he met the Ghost Deacon specifically."

Butler Dog: "Go see the Ghost Butler, what can you do? It must be a commission. Sipolov has a special status, and his commission is probably the person behind it. But, is this commission about the Yingji tribe, or about a certain person? Then It’s hard to say.”

"But it doesn't matter. Sipolov will come over in a while, and then we will know Sipolov's intention."

The words of the Dog Butler shocked everyone, and even Xiaohong looked confused: "Is Sipolov coming to the Dog House? But, I didn't receive this news."

 Canine Butler: "There is no need to receive news, Ghost Butler will let him come. You can go and watch outside, wait for him to come, and lead him to the guest room."

Although Xiaohong is still a little confused, since Butler Dog said so, it seems to be true. She nodded, followed the dog steward's instructions, and went outside the dog house to wait for Sipolov's arrival.

　　After Xiao Hong left, Luigi murmured: "Is she the only one of your direct investigators? Do you want her to do everything as a child?"

 Butler Dog turned his head in embarrassment: "She's not the only one. She's the only one who came to the party this time."

 There are very few investigators directly under the Dog Butler, and most of them, like him, have the attribute of "dead house". This time, the canine steward had never thought of coming. If he hadn't spoken personally, he would probably have stayed where he was, like the other direct investigators.

When Butler Dog came to the party, he naturally wanted to bring some investigators with him. Unfortunately, his subordinates had already heard about it and disappeared under the name of entrustment before the party started. Xiaohong was the only one with nothing to do, and Xiaohong also wanted to see the world, so Butler Dog brought her here alone.

Luigi shook his head and did not go into details, but returned to the topic: "Why were you sure that Sipolov would come just now? Did you secretly notify the Ghost Butler?"

 The Dog Butler shook his head: "That's not true. However, although I didn't directly inform the Ghost Butler, it's not too different..."

Butler Dog didn’t hide anything and told the reason.

 The Ghost Butler is the strongest person in Wanshiwu when it comes to intelligence gathering. It can even be said that the entire intelligence investigation system of Wanshiwu was built by the Ghost Deacon and his team.

It is precisely because the intelligence system is closely related to the Ghost Butler, so when Xiaohong took the Dog Butler's token to search for Sipolov, the Ghost Butler was definitely aware of it immediately.

Although the Ghost Butler doesn’t know why the Dog Butler wants to check Sipolov, judging from the behavior of the inquiry, it can be seen that the Dog Butler is curious about Sipolov.

Through years of tacit understanding of cooperation, after the Ghost Butler confirms the Dog Butler’s interest in Sipolov, he will definitely let Sipolov come to the dog house.

Luigi: "So, are you sure that Sipolov will come just because of his tacit understanding with the Ghost Butler for many years?"

Butler Dog nodded: "Yes. However, even if Xiaohong does not inquire about information, according to the normal process, Sipolov will come to see me."

 Luigi: “Why do you say that?”

“Because there is a difference between a deacon’s commission and an ordinary commission.”

 Ordinary entrustment only requires both parties to sign a good contract and make guarantees before it can proceed. But deacon entrustment must involve major events, and major events often have strong consequences.

 It is even said that the client will conceal some information, which will lead to more serious consequences.

In order to avoid this situation, all commissions accepted by the deacon must have the entruster come to the canine deacon. Through the "ability" of the dog butler, he can penetrate into the heart of the client and confirm that he has not concealed information, and only then will the trust contract be signed.

It’s just that this process, which requires a canine butler to identify the client’s heart, is usually done only in the last few steps.

 Sipolov just came to Wanshiwu for the first time today, so he doesn’t necessarily need to go through this process yet.

However, because of Xiaohong’s inquiry, Ghost Butler will definitely take action. I guess I will go through this process in advance.

So, no matter what, if Sipolov wants to entrust him with a deacon, he will definitely come to see the dog deacon. It is just a matter of sooner or later.

Butler Dog’s answer cleared up Luigi’s doubts.

However, the Ghost Butler mentioned in the Dog Butler's answer made Luigi curious again.

At present, although Wanshiwuwu has revealed three deacons to the public, only the dog deacon appears most often. Information about the human deacon and the ghost deacon is very sparse.

 According to Gutales, the three deacons on the surface all have special abilities. The dog butler can see into people's hearts, but what is the ability of the ghost butler? What is the ability of a man to serve?

Faced with Luigi's inquiry, the Dog Butler thought for a while and did not refuse.

Since Sipolov hasn’t come yet, there’s no harm in chatting during this time. However, things about other deacons are actually the secrets of Wanshiwu.

 “I can tell you, but not directly.”

In other words, Butler Dog will express it in other euphemistic ways. At the same time, Butler Dog also clearly says: "Even if you guessed it, it has nothing to do with me. Also, I hope you don't spread these things out."

Luigi did not hesitate to pat his chest in assurance.

No matter what, Dog Butler can barely be regarded as Laplace's current incarnation. If Luigi cheats other people, he certainly won't cheat Butler Dog.

Butler Dog pondered for a moment and began to think about the words. After a while, Butler Dog seemed to have thought of something, and looked back at Laplace: "I wonder if Sir, do you still remember the lonely wind borer?"

 Laplace nodded: "Remember, this is the story I told you."

 At the time when Canine Butler was being studied by Laplace, in his spare time, Laplace would occasionally tell some pandimensional stories to Canine Butler.

These stories were all seen by Laplace through the reflection of the sea of ​​empty mirrors.

　　It is said to be a story, but in fact it is true.

 Among them, there is a story called "The Lonely Wind Borer".

The wind borer is a strange creature that is made up of wind and clouds. However, Laplace doesn't know whether it is an elemental creature. Because elemental creatures have all kinds of strange shapes, but the wind borer has only one shape: insect shape.

Wind borers live in a gaseous plane, and there is almost only one race of wind borers here.

Although the intelligent form of the wind borer cannot be seen from the reflection of the empty mirror sea, it can be seen from the details that the wind borer is a group creature. They live together all year round, forming a unique social civilization.

However, once Laplace discovered that there were actually some special cases among the wind borers. They were born in groups, but in the end they chose to leave alone.

This situation is very special. At first, Laplace thought that the situation of these wind borers was similar to that of penguins.

When gregarious penguins migrate, large groups will move in one direction at the same time. But occasionally there will be one or two penguins with "rebellious bones". They do not move with the large group, but betray the group and go to the distant mountains alone.

 And this kind of penguins who lose their colony will eventually die in a short period of time, not without accident.

Even if someone actively intervenes and corrects the penguins' route, they will still change direction and head towards death.

 Laplace initially thought that wind borers, like penguins, had a "call of the mountains" situation. They responded to a call from a distant place, took the initiative to leave, and died heroically.

 But later Laplace discovered that she was wrong.

Those wind borers that left alone are not dead. They live alone, outside the wind borer group.

 After a period of research, Laplace finally confirmed an answer.

These solitary wind borers actually don’t know the existence of groups at all.

 Their world consists of only themselves.

 This is not a description of selfishness, but an objective fact.

Wind borers do not have the eyes that normal creatures have, and they do not have the energy perspective to examine their surroundings. - Because the world in which the wind borer lives is itself gaseous, so there is no need to check the external environment.

 The reason why wind borers gather together is that they share a common sound frequency.

They rely on the common sound frequency to sense each other's surrounding companions. No matter how far away they are, as long as the sound frequency is the same, they can call their companions to their side.

 This is the truth behind the gathering of wind borers.

Those lonely wind borers do not really want to be lonely, but they have a completely different sound frequency from other wind borers. The wavelengths are different and the presence of other wind borers cannot be sensed at all.

 In their world, they only have themselves, and there are no other wind borers at all.

 They are not yearning for the mountains, but the mountains themselves.

 This is the story of "The Lonely Wind Borer".

Although everyone understood the moral of the story, they didn't understand why Butler Dog told the story at this time.

 Luigi: "Is this story related to the Ghost Butler?"

 The Dog Butler nodded slightly: "It's related to the core. In a sense, the birth of the Ghost Butler is actually somewhat similar to the lonely wind borer."

Butler Dog did not continue, but went around in a circle and talked about another thing: "You should know Jingshan, right?"

 Luigi nodded.

 Jingshan is the territory of the Toujing clan. The head lens family is very strange. They look like a humanoid race, but in fact the outer shell is not important to them at all.

 What matters is their “consciousness”.

 Handshot is a stream of consciousness group. Their consciousness can move in all the heads of the clan, so their core lies in consciousness, and the bodies of those people... can be completely shared. This pure stream-of-consciousness race communicates internally with consciousness, and its external communication is "synthetic dialogue."

 Inu Butler should not mention a topic suddenly. He mentioned Jingshan, which must be intentional.

 Luigi thought for a moment: "Ghost Butler, is he a member of the Head Mirror clan?"

 The Butler Dog didn't answer, but its smile proved Luigi's guess was right.

Immediately afterwards, Butler Dog continued: "Actually, the Toujing clan, in a sense, is not a group of wind borers?"

Although the head mirror family can communicate with the outside world, they use a tricky method to occupy the outer shell and interfere with the material world.

 But the real content, which is the core of the head mirror family, is consciousness.

 Because they have the same consciousness wave, they build a network of consciousness, flow and blend in the network of consciousness, and are a true group of consciousness.

The wind borer, on the other hand, uses the wavelength of sound to construct a unique swarm pattern.

 There are indeed similarities between the two.

Luigi: "Looking at the two together, is the Ghost Butler an alien from the Toujing clan? Just like a lonely wind borer, incompatible with the consciousness grid of the Toujing clan?"

Although the canine butler didn't say a word, his eyes confirmed Luigi's guess.

Immediately afterwards, Butler Dog told a story about a spider that was parasitized and still weaved its web.

 Combining the two previous stories, the general outline of the Ghost Butler has been slowly sketched out.

The Ghost Butler was born in the Toujing Clan, but it had no interaction with the Toujing Clan’s consciousness network at all, which meant that it was eliminated by the Toujing Clan from the very beginning.

Even when the Ghost Butler was eliminated, he didn’t even have a useful body, and his pure consciousness was exiled.

 Later, the Ghost Butler received help from the founder of All Things House and was lucky enough to occupy a human body.

 This human being is a hollow man who has just passed through the Eye of the Sea and happened to be picked up by the Tooth Fairy.

Perhaps due to the relationship between traveling through the sea eye, this hollow man is developing special talents, and as the ghost deacon merges into the hollow man's body, the special talents are combined with the ghost deacon's own consciousness.

 In the end, the Ghost Butler not only received a body, but also a special talent.

 —Create clouds of consciousness.
