To be honest, if this is really my creation, then the emotionless face + scheming personality... seems pretty normal?
In a way, Lin Ruo, who could be said to be quite self-aware, thought this, and after thinking for a while, asked, "Who is Lin Bao?"
He was really curious about what Lin Bao was. According to Little Bertie, it seemed to be another one of his creations?
Moreover... Lin Ruo glanced at Little Bertie in front of him again. He, who was always good at capturing other people's emotions, immediately noticed the emotion flashing in Little Bertie's eyes when he mentioned Lin Bao.
It couldn't be said to be disgust, but it did have a bit of annoyance and disdain. Associating it with Little Bertie's special emphasis on "most perfect" and "more perfect than Lin Bao" just now, Lin Ruo had reason to believe that this Lin Bao must have a fierce competitive relationship with Little Bertie. Given the current situation and Little Bertie's vaguely revealed personality, he might choose to tear down the competition in the next second.
Sure enough, Little Bertie then said, "Lin Bao is another work of yours, Father, a...besides peeping, laughing at others everywhere, and helping people stabilize their mental state, a useless manuscript-urging robot."
Ah, this!
Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows. Although Little Bertie's words were simple and his tone disdainful, the amount of information revealed in this short sentence was quite a lot.
Peeping sounds very lewd, but if you put it another way, such as monitoring the world, or like the Simp Mirror, which can realize real-time broadcasting of something, it is definitely a very useful function.
And helping people stabilize their state is even more unnecessary to say. The most troublesome thing for Beyonders in the mystical world is madness, is divinity. In many cases, the reason why Beyonders lose control and go crazy is actually because they can't bear it mentally first, which leads to the collapse of the situation.
Why are Spectator so special? One of the most important reasons is that they can help themselves and others stabilize their mental state. Otherwise, why would Amon dare to rush to the Sefirah Castle at the end of the original book? Isn't it because he has a good father behind him who is cheating.
And... "Manuscript-urging robot?" Lin Ruo pinched his chin. In his impression, besides the salted fish Fors, who had been crazily urged to write manuscripts, it seemed that only... was left.
"Lin Bao is with Roselle?"
Lin Ruo guessed, squinting his eyes.
This was not a random guess. After all, Roselle was indeed crazily urged to write manuscripts by him, and with the other party's corrupted state, he did need a robot that could help him stabilize his state. Moreover, if Roselle is now in a mausoleum belonging to the Black Emperor, a manuscript-urging robot that can peep at the outside world can also prevent him from being locked up until he goes crazy naturally.
"That guy is indeed accompanying Roselle." Little Bertie nodded, affirming Lin Ruo's guess.
"Then what about you?" Lin Ruo, who had confirmed his guess, looked at Little Bertie, staring at the face that was almost identical to Mr. Door's when he was young, and said, "Are you accompanying Bertie?"
"Strictly speaking, I am not accompanying Mr. Door. It's just that occasionally he will come to this study to gain a moment of peace." Little Bertie said this. He looked at Lin Ruo, and the emotion in his blue eyes was momentarily so complex that it was incomprehensible, but then these emotions disappeared, making people suspect that everything was just an illusion.
Lin Ruo actually didn't miss the complexity in Little Bertie's eyes for a moment. This made him feel that things might be more complicated than he thought, and it also made him more vigilant towards the person in front of him.
But this did not prevent Lin Ruo from looking around after hearing his words, and then noticing the details that he had not noticed just now.
The decoration style of this study is very familiar, so familiar that Lin Ruo recognized it at a glance as his favorite style.
And many of the books on the bookshelf are not available in this world.
This is definitely not the study of that mentally handicapped young man from the Abraham family, but...
"This is my study?" Lin Ruo asked, but his tone was very certain.
"Yes, Father, this is your study."
Little Bertie seemed to be in a very happy mood and said:
"I am your librarian and the core here. All of your father's collection of books are managed and guarded by me."
Core... Chewing on this somewhat special word, Lin Ruo said again: "Saying that you are the core of this study, and also saying that Bertie occasionally comes here to gain a moment of tranquility... Do you mean that you have the ability to move in space or open doors in any space, and can also stabilize the mental state of others?"
"Regarding abilities related to space, Father once said that I am a smaller version of Mr. Door." Little Bertie said this. Although his expression was still so emotionless, it could be seen that this guy was actually a little proud.
Understood, space specialization, and maybe even proficient in sealing... Lin Ruo classified Little Bertie's abilities in his heart, but did not ignore another thing.
—Little Bertie did not admit that he had the ability to stabilize the mental state of others.
But he also said that Mr. Door could gain a moment of peace here... Various possibilities flashed through Lin Ruo's mind, and finally he said: "Is it you or this study that can stabilize Bertie's state?"
Little Bertie paused, and after about one or two seconds, he said: "It's me."
"I can help Mr. Door stabilize his state."
He looked at Lin Ruo and emphasized again:
"This is my mission."
Is that really so?
Lin Ruo was dealing with the Little Bertie in front of him. Both reason and intuition told him that there might be something hidden here, and reason was warning him not to ask too much.
After all, even if the other party is really his creation, the situation is still unclear. Not to mention that it is not new for creations to rebel these days. If Little Bertie is really hiding or deceiving him, then it means that there may be something wrong, and it is safer not to ask.
But Lin Ruo still asked again:
"Really? Is this really your mission?"
"Of course it's true, Father, how could I possibly lie to you." Little Bertie said, his blue eyes showing seriousness.
"I am forever loyal to you, absolutely loyal."
Ah, this...
Lin Ruo lowered his eyes, remained noncommittal to Little Bertie's words, and asked, "How is Bertie's condition?"
"That's a secret, Father. You can't understand this part of the information for the time being, otherwise it will have a very bad impact on your humanity." Little Bertie said seriously.
Can't understand, but I still remember the things in the original book... Could it be that Mr. Door was really corrupted by me?
Lin Ruo felt a headache and asked again: "What about the Abraham family? Do you know them?"
"Sorry, I don't know. I don't pay much attention to external affairs." Little Bertie shook his head.
Okay, another one who knows nothing.
Lin Ruo didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then why are you here?"
