#991 - Chapter 991 I have always been serious
The High Priest held up the mask, placed it against his face, and attempted to activate it using mind control.
However, the mask didn't react at all.
"Sorry, it's not working," the High Priest shook his head.
"Would you mind revealing the method for using mind control?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
He wanted to let Mongka try.
"I can. However, those not of my tribe probably can't use it," the High Priest said.
"I'll have Mongka try," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Alright."
Three hours later.
The High Priest finally explained the activation method for mind control.
Based on Mongka's current condition, she definitely wouldn't be able to activate it.
After all, she didn't have a physical body, only a pure mechanical structure.
However, she thought of a solution.
Nata had previously wanted to eat something and had created 10 physical bodies each for himself and Mongka.
These 10 physical bodies were still at the Mars base.
So, Mongka transferred one over to try.
This body was different from Dongfang Chen Er's pure independent clone.
Mongka's clone's consciousness still shared her main consciousness.
That is to say, her physical body didn't need to learn anything extra and could obtain all the knowledge and skills Mongka possessed.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Mongka's physical body put on the mask and tried.
However, just like the High Priest, she also failed to activate it.
"I know!" Mongka said after failing the attempt.
"Tell me," Dongfang Chen Er looked at her.
"I know why it can't be activated."
"Why?"
"Because my genes don't contain the necessary gene segments of the Raventa tribe," Mongka replied.
"There's that possibility. In that case, use a gene repair pod to optimize a body and implant the relevant gene segments."
"Okay, I'll go do that now."
Another three hours.
Mongka brought over the modified body.
Then, she put on the mask, and this time, she succeeded!
Mongka's physical clone actually established a connection with a pot of green ivy in the office.
Under her mental control, the green ivy used its vines and leaves to make a heart shape.
"Wow! This is so fun!" Mongka jumped up and down happily.
"Mongka, if you use this mask to communicate with spirits, how long can you last?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.
"I feel like there are no restrictions? Maybe it's because I installed vibration crystals inside my physical body," Mongka said.
"High Priest, it seems that the main thing limiting the duration of use for the Spirit War Mask is energy," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"It seems that's the case," the High Priest nodded.
"Thank you for your help," Dongfang Chen Er bowed.
"You're welcome."
......
Dongfang Chen Er and Mongka returned to the Black Death Star.
Dongfang Chen Er immediately had Nata study the reason why the Spirit War Mask could communicate with all things and upgrade their equipment according to this technology.
After that, they returned to the small world again and began to study the next item: the lacquerware gold-thread puppet.
This was what the Zerg dinosaur mech was looking for.
That meant that there must be a big secret hidden inside.
Mongka first conducted a detailed penetrating scan of the gold-thread puppet.
The test results showed that there was no special structure inside the puppet.
It seemed that the secret was hidden in the mysterious runes carved with gold thread.
Runes are a kind of agreed-upon symbol. If you know them, you know them; if you don't, you don't.
It's impossible to directly decipher their purpose.
Therefore, if they wanted to know what this was, they could only find someone who might recognize it to ask.
"Who should I ask?" Dongfang Chen Er wondered.
He actually only had two candidates: Guiguzi and Ling Xuzi.
Actually, it's the same no matter who he asked. If he asked one, the other would know.
So, since it couldn't be hidden at all, he might as well not hide it.
"Mongka, contact Guiguzi and have him come over," Dongfang Chen Er said after making up his mind.
"Okay, I'll go now."
Ten minutes later, Guiguzi arrived.
"Mr. Dongfang, what's the urgent matter that you called me here for?" Guiguzi still wore a smile.
"I saw your senior brother," Dongfang Chen Er said.
"Senior brother? What senior brother? This Daoist doesn't have a senior brother," Guiguzi showed a blank and ignorant expression.
"No senior brother? Mr. Guigu, don't make such jokes, right? Your senior brother is thinking about you all the time," Dongfang Chen Er pouted.
"Hahaha, Mr. Dongfang, don't joke around," Guiguzi waved his hand, still not believing it.
"Are you serious?" Dongfang Chen Er frowned.
"This Daoist is always serious," Guiguzi replied.
"Tch ~" Mongka gave him a disdainful look, thinking that he was lying through his teeth. Serious, my foot?
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now. I called you here today to have you take a look at this," Dongfang Chen Er handed over the gold-thread puppet in his hand.
"Hmm?" After Guiguzi took the gold-thread puppet, his brow immediately furrowed.
