Chapter 228 I Can't Say
Newman seemed to be moved by Wei Miao's words, "There are deep secrets buried here." After a while, he replied: "I'm not questioning you. Just because you can describe one of the mortal images of the person in the mirror, I don't think you have any interest in the extraordinary." I don't know, after all, ordinary people don't even know his name, at least in Shalan Greenland.
"But as believers of the Keeper of Secrets, they don't even know the path of the Immaculate Deer, one of the gods in the sky, even though our sect does operate secretly here..."
It seems that the Immaculate Deer is not a small deity. He has a certain reputation among the extraordinary people in this world.
Wei Miao said calmly: "I accidentally came into contact with His secret knowledge, and then I embarked on the path of seeking knowledge. Before, I was devoted to studying rituals, and I had not studied the relevant knowledge of the Unsullied Deer. But if you want to call any god, I will Can help.”
Newman's mouth twitched: "No, thank you for your kindness."

Normal people know that conducting random rituals to summon Him is definitely an act of seeking death.
But judging from her tone, she seemed to be very confident about her summoning ritual.
Could this be a ritual master?
Come here to find the secret...
Newman looked at Wei Miao, who had never felt guilty, and was a little confused about her background.
Wei Miao didn't know what Newman was thinking about, but his attitude was obviously much more serious.
Almost serious.
"The Immaculate Deer, his mortal image is a white deer, his blue antlers are like crystal, and the bifurcations are decorated with snow-white crystal stones. Legend has it that in the beginning, he cut his flesh and gave it to all living beings to nourish the world and life. His Flesh and blood differentiate into all things.”
"His unsullied way is the unblemished way of flesh and blood. Not only the appearance, but also the essence is perfect! We pursue the eternal and perfect life of flesh and blood. Every time we eliminate the shortcomings of the flesh, we are taking a step towards the sublime!"
"And now, I only have the most superficial appearance of perfection, far from being able to make up for the essence, and I will never have the chance to make up for it!"
Newman was on the verge of losing his temper, hideous pain flashed across his face, and then he lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.
He seemed to be forcibly suppressing the pain and anxiety of the conflict between his ideals and reality. He was unwavering in his pursuit of the Immaculate Path, but something hindered his pursuit.
The possibility of self-realization is completely negated, just as when graduation is approaching, the foundation of what has been learned collapses due to fallacies, and the road ahead is cut off.
Wei Miao tasted the potential meaning in his words.
Taking a deep breath, Newman slowly lowered his hands and calmed down. He opened his bloodshot eyes, and his perfect face looked a bit crazy and terrifying: "I have already answered clearly, it is your turn. What is the secret you are looking for here?"
Wei Miao was indifferent to Newman's strange behavior. She said calmly: "I saw a figure that looked like a night crow in the prediction. It was wearing a crow feather cloak and a crow feather mask. It held a knife in its hand. The scythe. The secret I'm looking for has to do with it."
Newman was suddenly excited: "I know what it is! It is a dependent of a certain god, but I can't say it, not even the name of that god!"
He clenched his fist bitterly and knocked on the table hard. The sound was so loud that it startled Leslie who was not far away.
He looked at the two people with a strange expression.
Why is the painting style different from what he imagined? Didn't Newman have a dead face that no one paid attention to? Why are you suddenly prone to violence?
In the bar, some people's eyes were attracted, but they drifted away after seeing no further action.
Wei Miao took a towel from the next table and wiped away the drink that had splashed on the table.
Then he smiled and said: "Anger can't solve the problem, but I can help you solve the problem."
"If what you said is true, then our goals should be the same. If you can know the secrets, you will definitely be able to solve the problem!"
Newman sighed with a complicated expression: "But I can't say. I know a lot, but I can't say."
Wei Miao: "Is it a gag order?"
Newman: "I can't say."
Wei Miao: "Then I'll say it. If it's correct, just say 'I can't say'."
This is a clever substitution concept, linking the expression "I can't say" with "correctness", which may avoid the gag order.
Newman nodded.
Wei Miao thought for a while and said: "You said that you can no longer complete the Path of Immortality because you don't have a real body? In fact, you only have a soul left."
Newman looked at her in surprise: "I can't say."
"You can only show up on All Saints' Day?"
Newman choked out: "I can't say."
"Is your body a cover-up? No, no, no, the body should be real. It is a skin that wraps the soul..."
Wei Miao suddenly remembered that the real soul hunter was a man, and now she showed herself as a self-defined woman.
"You can shape your own body independently, using a power I don't know, but this body is just a special layer of skin, which is different from the real body. You can even change the shape every year."
This can explain Newman's perfect appearance and the fact that Leslie has no worries about his future life in the small town of Sabo, because he can transform into another handsome person. Carol will never recognize Leslie even in person. .
Newman looked convinced: "I can't say."
"All Saints' Day led to your...your return, and your return was forced?"
Newman frowned and said carefully: "Compared to having nothing, a perfect body at least comforts me, even if it is fake."
He answered the question in a roundabout way. The first half of the sentence was correct, but not mandatory.
"So you want... a real body?"
"It's impossible."
"Liberation?"
Newman finally affirmed: "If you can do it. This is much more difficult than you think."
Wei Miao has completely seen through Newman's position.
As a rare believer of the Immaculate Deer, Newman has explored the truth behind the All Saints' Day with his extraordinary vision beyond ordinary people.
He is deeply dissatisfied with the current situation after losing his body. He wants to have a body, but he suffers because of the fake body. He is depressed in the corner of the bar on the All Saints' Day.
He advocates the way of flesh and blood perfection, but he only has a soul left.
Not only Newman, I'm afraid all the special residents are bound. They were given a gag order and could not tell the truth, or even decide their own life and death.
There is the shadow of God behind him.
Newman thought for a moment and said, "By the way, since we are talking about this, do you know the religious beliefs of Sabo Town?"
Wei Miao went straight into the town at the beginning, and did not see the shadow of the church along the way, so of course he did not know the gods worshipped by the town.
The only slight sign was the description of the traveler's special skills. (End of this chapter)
