#887 - Section 887

Carola Olingly had never thought of using this method to achieve her goals.

Anyway, if Carola Olingly had to think for herself, she wouldn't be able to come up with it even if she racked her brains.

After all, in Carola Olingly's eyes, those top geniuses who had been parasitized by the Demon Seed were like monsters, only to be beaten.

Who knew they could be used for scheming?

This was really different from what Carola Olingly thought.

In Carola Olingly's mind, she always felt that to defeat the Demon Seed, one could only use head-on confrontation.

Carola Olingly never thought that she could also analyze the weaknesses of the Demon Seed and formulate a plan based on those weaknesses.

Attracting these curious top geniuses to achieve the goals of Allen, Feros, Carola Olingly, and Rochesdale Rothschild and the others.

But it sounded quite interesting.

Allen had indeed captured a top genius.

This top genius's emotions were indeed curious.

It was because of curiosity that Allen, Feros, Carola Olingly, and Rochesdale Rothschild and the others were able to capture him.

It was also because of curiosity that these top geniuses who had been eroded by the Demon Seed didn't react much even when they were captured.

It seemed like they didn't care much, and instead wanted to know why Allen and the others wanted to capture them.

When Allen saw this, he shook his head, "After the emotions were amplified by the Demon Seed, this captured top genius no longer has any fear."

Without fear, all emotions disappeared.

Only curiosity remained.

This was actually quite terrifying.

After all, when a person loses all other emotions and only has curiosity left, that person can easily be incited.

The Demon Seed can constantly amplify the strongest emotion in these top geniuses, while constantly weakening other less important emotions until they completely disappear...

And the top genius who only has one emotion left can easily become an emotional puppet.

In fact, when the Demon Seed erases other emotions from humans, leaving only a single emotion, these beings are indeed just like puppets.

"They are all emotional puppets."

Thinking of this, Allen shook his head.

"This is actually a puppet… How can this kind of puppet be controlled?" Carola Olingly said in confusion.

After all, the last emotion these top geniuses have left is different, and she didn't know how the mastermind behind the scenes could control these emotional puppets with different emotions.

If the mastermind behind the scenes in this Libra Small World indirectly controls these emotional puppets through the Demon Seed.

Then, to completely eradicate the Demon Seed, one needs to find out how the mastermind controls these emotional puppets before the Demon Seed can be completely eliminated, which would make it even more difficult.

Allen, Feros, Carola Olingly, and Rochesdale Rothschild and the others felt that this kind of puppet didn't seem easy to control.

Logically speaking, if puppets are to be made, they all need to have a common master to control them.

"After all, if there is no master to control them, but puppets are still being made, then it can only be said that it is harming others without benefiting oneself," Feros said with a solemn expression.

Chapter 1702 Indifference (2)

After Allen heard this, he smiled, "What you said is really not wrong, what that person is doing is purely harming others without benefiting oneself."

"What that mastermind wants is not to use these puppets for anything, but merely to turn this group of top geniuses eroded by the Demon Seed into emotional puppets," Allen analyzed the mastermind's ultimate goal to Carola Olingly and Feros.

However, after Carola Olingly and Feros heard Allen's analysis, they felt even more tangled and conflicted, and couldn't understand why the mastermind would do this.

Sure enough, the perverted thoughts of this mastermind cannot be understood by normal people.

Carola Olingly: "…25…"

Suddenly, she didn't know what to say, "Is it so cruel…"

It's really unknown why these masterminds went to so much trouble to set up a Genius Competition in this advanced universe world.

But it wasn't to let these top geniuses compete, but instead to gather all the top geniuses from all the sects, these people with the strongest talent levels, into this Genius Competition.

And then use the Demon Seed to control these top geniuses and turn them into emotional puppets.

In short, this mastermind's feeling is like a perverted murderer.

Normal people kill because they have a grudge and want to take revenge, killing and revenge have a purpose, for their own purpose.

But perverted killing is different, they purely enjoy the process of sadistic killing.

So, compared to that, perverted murderers are even more hateful.

And the mastermind in this Libra Small World is actually similar to a perverted killer, he turns other top geniuses into emotional puppets, not because he has any use for emotional puppets.

But purely because he enjoys the feeling of pulling those top geniuses down from the altar and turning them into his own emotional puppets.

Just…

…Quite perverted.

The top genius who was just now controlled by the Demon Seed with curiosity as his main emotion has already been pinched in Allen's hand.

Allen grabbed the collar of the top genius who had been eroded by the Demon Seed, and the extremely powerful force in his hand turned into ropes, directly binding the top genius in them.

Carola Olingly and Feros were also a little curious when they saw this scene…

They were already very curious about the behavior of the top geniuses eroded by the Demon Seed in this Libra Small World, and now that they have caught one, they can just study it carefully.

Fortunately, the Demon Seeds that hadn't yet sprouted in Feros and Carola Olingly's bodies had already been completely swallowed by the Ancient Gluttonous Bloodline in Rochesdale Rothschild's body.

Otherwise, with a person as lively as Carola Olingly and with such heavy curiosity, she would have definitely been tricked unknowingly long ago.

However, since Carola Allaire was always following Allen, Allen wouldn't just stand by and watch her be corrupted by the Demon Seed.

Curiosity killed the cat, a saying that almost everyone knows, but very few people can actually overcome their own curiosity.

It's just that ordinary people don't have such a strong curiosity. Although curiosity makes them think about the price they might pay to learn certain things,

they wouldn't sacrifice their own lives just to satisfy their curiosity and achieve that goal.

But these emotional puppets, their curiosity ignited by the Demon Seed, can do anything without regard for the consequences, just to satisfy their curiosity.

So, this is the biggest difference between a normal, top-tier prodigy and a top-tier prodigy controlled by the Demon Seed.

Originally, all the full-star prodigies who participated in the Prodigy Competition and entered this Scales Small World had a Demon Seed within them.

But because the Demon Seed within Carola Allaire had already been devoured by Rochester Rothschild, Carola Allaire could now act without restraint, walking freely within this Scales Small World.

Without the threat of the Demon Seed, Carola Allaire was even very interested in poking the chest of the captured top-tier prodigy.

However, this captured puppet, driven only by the emotion of curiosity, didn't react at all to Carola Allaire's actions.

This was entirely because the captured top-tier prodigy didn't have any curiosity about Carola Allaire's actions, so he didn't react to them.

Chapter 1703: Lucky (3)

Because this top-tier prodigy, now corrupted by the Demon Seed, is only curious and wants to know what method Allen used.

He wants to know how to capture the Demon Seed, and as for other unimportant things, he doesn't care at all.

Moreover, this captured curiosity-driven emotional puppet didn't sense any threat from Carola Allaire.

Although this captured top-tier prodigy wasn't curious about Carola Allaire, Carola Allaire was full of curiosity about him.

Carola Allaire was very curious about how these top-tier prodigy puppets, controlled by only one emotion, managed to survive in this perilous Scales Small World.

"Tell me, what's the point of all this? Isn't it just curiosity? Is it worth losing your life for this little bit of curiosity?" Carola Allaire asked curiously.

And Carola Allaire hasn't realized yet that her current curiosity about these emotional puppets is very similar to the behavior of these curiosity-driven emotional puppets.

The only difference is that Carola Allaire doesn't have the Demon Seed's corruption within her.

Therefore, Carola Allaire can't fully maximize this curiosity, thereby obliterating her other emotions.

Originally, Carola Allaire just thought that this curiosity-driven emotional puppet might be indifferent to everything except the matter of why he was captured.

So, Carola Allaire tested to see if this captured curiosity puppet was really like that.

But Carola Allaire didn't expect that this top-tier prodigy, driven by curiosity, could actually be communicated with.

After hearing this, the curiosity puppet immediately patted his chest and said righteously.

"Of course it's worth it! We cultivators, standing between heaven and earth, should take curiosity as our responsibility, to resolve all the world's problems, Carola Allaire!"

This captured curiosity-driven emotional puppet was really forced into a corner by Carola Allaire's incessant chatter.

So, this top-tier prodigy could only quickly reply to make Carola Allaire shut up.

Sure enough, the effect was quite good, and Carola Allaire no longer chattered on and on.

After hearing this, Carola Allaire's lips couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Originally, Carola Allaire thought that these emotional puppets were indifferent to other things.

She didn't expect that he actually knew the name of the person who had just teased him, which was also very surprising.

It's really rare for this top-tier prodigy to have such strong curiosity and still be able to live to this day; it's a miracle.

Moreover, for this top-tier prodigy with such strong curiosity to still be alive when Allen and Carola Allaire, as well as Firos and Rochester Rothschild, entered this Scales World, it can be considered his great luck.

It's also amazing that this curiosity-driven emotional puppet could successfully evade or defeat those other ferocious emotional puppets and live until now.

This curiosity-driven puppet has a very strong curiosity about everything and wants to understand everything clearly, but after all, curiosity killed the cat.

Carola Allaire shook her head helplessly.

Firos, who was beside her, also smiled and said, "This curiosity-driven top-tier prodigy is indeed very lucky." It's obvious that this top-tier prodigy, even before entering this Scales World and being invaded by the Demon Seed, must have been the kind of top-tier prodigy with particularly strong curiosity.

Thinking of this, a hint of helplessness appeared on Carola Allaire's face, and even Firos shook his head with amusement.

Carola Allaire and Firos didn't know what to make of this.

"His strength is relatively strong..." Allen said with a smile, tapping the head of the captured curiosity-driven emotional puppet.

Allen's words explained the fundamental reason why this top-tier prodigy, who had already been corrupted by the Demon Seed, was still able to survive until now.

With such strong curiosity, this top-tier prodigy who had already been possessed by the Demon Seed would definitely drill into any dangerous place.

Because that very dangerous place is always full of temptation, attracting this curiosity-driven top-tier prodigy.
