"It seems I have gained something extra." After calming down, Leyton noticed some changes in himself. Leyton immediately closed his eyes, focusing his mind to feel the changes occurring within him.
"Sequence 9: Mystery Pryer!" Leyton opened his eyes.
His originally light blue eyes were instantly covered with a layer of purple brilliance. Leyton felt a great change in the world within his eyes. For a moment, Leyton felt as if he could see the essence of this world.
However, Leyton knew that this was just an illusion produced by his first use of the Eye of Mystery Prying. Moreover, those who had read the original novel knew that while this thing was useful, it was also truly dangerous.
After satisfying his curiosity, he stopped actively trying to use the Eye of Mystery Prying. Although even if he didn't actively use it, the Eye of Mystery Prying would still be passively activated and couldn't be closed, at least it wouldn't have such a strong ability to pry into secrets.
"But wasn't I a Student of Ratiocination of the Reader pathway? How did I become a Sequence 9 Mystery Pryer of the Mystery Pryer pathway?" Leyton was somewhat puzzled.
Moreover, Leyton noticed that the Beyonder characteristics belonging to the Reader pathway were still within him, and he could still use the corresponding Beyonder abilities.
The most important Beyonder power of a Student of Ratiocination is quick thinking. As the name suggests, this Beyonder power greatly enhances the Beyonder's thinking and observation abilities in a short period. After use, there will be a period of mental weakness, and it cannot be used one after another in a short period, otherwise it will lead to mental exhaustion and loss of control.
The purple halo in Leyton's eyes had just dissipated when a faint blue-white shimmer enveloped them again. However, this shimmer was very faint, and it was difficult to notice if one didn't observe carefully. Leyton felt his thoughts were clearer than ever before. The slight swelling in his head caused by the influx of a large amount of knowledge had also subsided at this moment.
Leyton quickly sorted out his memories and thoughts:
"First of all, the Mystery Pryer characteristic in me came very strangely, most likely brought by that giant eye just now. But I didn't lose control, and I don't need to digest this Sequence 9 Beyonder characteristic. I can completely control it, but it should require a process of adaptation.
The fact that I don't need to digest it is very strange. It's as if it doesn't belong to me, but is only temporarily stored here. Is this the so-called system of bestowal? You only need to offer faith to receive the response of the Great Existence, without the need for potion, acting, and digestion, but you still need to master and adapt.
Secondly, the information that the giant eye gave me when I saw it just now was Sequence 2: Sage. That giant eye is a Sequence 2 Sage?
Sages do have the ability to datatize. I wasn't corrupted just now, but passively received a lot of information that almost burst my head. So that's probably not a true angel, but a Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 2.
In this way, many problems can be explained. Being able to give me a Beyonder characteristic of a Sequence 2 Sage through bestowal, only the Hidden Sage and the Knowledge Moor can do this in this world.
These two can be equated in a sense, because the Hidden Sage, according to my speculation when I read the novel before I transmigrated, is the Uniqueness that was corrupted and awakened by the Knowledge Moor, that is, the Knowledge Moor's will acting outside the Western Continent."
"So, the place I first transmigrated to was the Knowledge Moor, and then I was captured by the Knowledge Moor? ? Then I was thrown onto Leyton by the Knowledge Moor through the Hidden Sage, and also gave me a bestowal of Sequence 2?" Leyton felt his scalp tingle.
"The Knowledge Moor shouldn't want to corrupt and assimilate me immediately. No, I've already been corrupted. My previous body turned into mosaics, and my soul must have been corrupted at that time.
But why put me on Leyton's body? And also give me a Beyonder characteristic of Sequence 2, although it's in a very strange state, and I can't use it directly. Is this to prevent me from being immediately corrupted by the Sequence 2 characteristic and losing control?
And what's the point of letting me simultaneously master the Beyonder characteristics of the Reader and Mystery Pryer pathways, which are not adjacent but have a lot in common? Wouldn't it be better to directly create an angel? The Hidden Sage is already being suppressed by the God of Steam and Machinery. Oh right, in this situation, a Sequence 2 angel is useless.
I should have other uses? ? Two Beyonder characteristics of different pathways, I feel like I'm going to go crazy sooner or later." The more Leyton thought about it, the more his head hurt. The quick thinking ability of a Student of Ratiocination was simply not enough.
The faint blue-white shimmer in his eyes dissipated, and Leyton immediately felt his brain become drowsy, as if he was mentally exhausted and didn't want to think.
Leyton didn't think about the problem anymore, and slowly fell on the bed and began to close his eyes to rest and restore his energy.
It wasn't until the butler came to call Leyton downstairs for dinner that Leyton got up from the bed. He didn't rush to eat dinner, but first came to the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror placed in the corner of the wall.
Leyton looked at himself in the mirror, repeatedly confirming that he didn't have any strange things added to his body, and that he hadn't lost any parts, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that he hadn't been corrupted by that Sequence 2 characteristic, he was still a little worried that he would be affected by the two Beyonder characteristics of different pathways and become mutated.
Fortunately, except for his eyes changing from the original light blue to a slightly purplish blue, which was due to the influence of the Eye of Mystery Prying, and the Eye of Mystery Prying could not be closed, so the change in his eyes could not be changed.
"I urgently need a pair of glasses. Fortunately, this change is not obvious. As long as familiar people don't observe carefully, they won't notice it. The butler and the male servant Robert are just ordinary people and shouldn't have this observation ability, but it's a bit troublesome in the Executor team. Although I just met them, most of them are Beyonders of the Reader pathway, and their observation and reasoning abilities are maxed out. Alas! Trouble!" He sighed helplessly.
It would be best if the glasses were a mystical item, both to cover up the change in the color of my eyes, and to block my Eye of Mystery Prying. I can't see what I shouldn't see, especially since I'm still in the Executor team. I don't know when I'll die because I saw a corrupted sealed artifact or mystical item.
After sorting out his thoughts, Leyton went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.
Aunt Sally's cooking was as good as ever, and today she had specially prepared fruit-flavored drinks with a trace of alcohol and some special snacks, a kind of grilled meat that is rare in the western region of Feynapotter, a bit like barbecue, skewering several different kinds of meat on wooden skewers, with a fruit that looks like a lemon in the middle, with a slightly sour taste and a sweet aftertaste, coupled with unique seasonings, the taste and flavor of the entire grilled meat have been raised more than one level, and because there is fruit mixed in it, it will not feel greasy because you eat too much at once.
Leyton was particularly satisfied with this dinner. Leyton saw the butler and the male servant Robert sitting on both sides of the dining table also eating very happily.
Because there are not many people in the family, Leyton usually lets the butler and them eat with him. Only when his parents are at home or when guests come to visit will they eat separately, because someone needs to be responsible for taking care of the guests.
Aunt Sally, the maid, lives in Madan City, not too far from here. It only takes more than ten minutes by public carriage. So usually in the evening, Aunt Sally will go home to accompany her family after preparing dinner.
Only the butler, who has a bad relationship with his son, and the bachelor male servant Robert will live here for a long time. Of course, there are also butler rooms and servant rooms in the house. Although Leyton's parents are often not around, the wealth of the two parents who often go out to play is still considerable.
"Life here is not that bad, if it weren't for the approaching doomsday. Sure enough, being away from home makes you homesick. I wonder if I can still go back? Perhaps only when I face the Knowledge Moor can I get the answer from it." After eating and drinking enough, Leyton's thoughts began to rise, thinking of the past and the present, but more than anything else, he wanted to go home.
