82 A sgoods idea 2 (1/2)
The Observer did not reply the moment I had finished my story. There was a brief moment of silence before it voiced its opinion.
”While your story answers every question I had, I find it hard to believe you given your behaviour.”
”What could I even gain from lying to you? You are in charge of this world to a big degree only second to the system itself, what could I do that you can not revert?. I am far away from any players, that could force you to adapt your actions. I know next to nothing about this world, so any ambition to change this world is nothing more than a fools dream. I am having my hands full with just surviving in this place. ” I said in an unperturbed fashion.
As the horde of monsters continued to die in the lake getting torn to shreds by the strange fish inhabiting this sea. I pondered on what exactly had left a dubious impression. It surely knew, that my first story, was nothing more than a joke to toy with it for a bit. It should have been obvious, looking at all the things I deliberately left as clues next to me. Even if it did not pay attention to the fate of these monsters, it could easily guess that I have been lying by all the holes in my story.
The strange state of mind could only be explained by this infuriating something trapped inside of me. How the hell did it even accomplish that feature, inducing my whole body in such a wonderous state? Maybe I should ask the Observer about it, as inquiring information was impossible at the moment. For whatever reason, it refused to answer to me and my questions. Did I offend it, by forcing it to put an end to the trance it had put me under?
Was my act of using the poison really that untypical for me? This hypothesis seems laughable, from all the outrages deeds I have committed so far, there should be no doubt left, that I have no qualms about using anything I can get my hands on. Honour or shame was not something I cared all too much about.
The decision to not continue the endless fight should also be a no-brainer as I wanted to live a little longer in this strange world.I had done so much to have my little piece of heaven, far far away from any players and I did not want to lose this benefit through one stupid decision
During my whole thinking process, the Observer had yet to speak another word. Yet I had already run out reasons, that might be the cause for this miscommunication. How could I convince the Observer, that I do not want to deceive it? Doubling down on my story will not make the story any more believable.
Despite my continuous thinking, I could not come up with a solution to my problem. Maybe I should just wait to what the Observer has to say before I continue this thought process.After all, it is capable of reading my thoughts, so it would know my confusion.
Right after I had finished my thought the Observer voiced his thoughts.
” Any outsider would believe you on the spot. You are nothing more than a victim of chance, that got dragged into this unfortunate situation. Just managing to survive by giving away valuable intel and dragging your wounded body to an island in the middle of a lake.”
The voice of the Observer sounded a bit different than usual as the voice appeared in my brain.There was a faint trace of disappointment in it.
” Your story was just too perfect. Everything had just been orchestrated from the moment you set foot into this area. Your first bewilderment was just a tool to let your ant queen escape from your body to scout the area to adapt your strategy. Falling in a trance fighting the monsters, was nothing more than a ruse to lure me out. As if, that monster dwelling inside of you would have taken over your body just now. It would have done so much earlier if it had the qualifications to do so. That means that you let it take over your body on purpose correct?”
It stopped and waited for me to confirm or deny these allegations but I did neither and only asked it to continue its deductions.
” Your primary target was to come into contact with me and even If I did not reply you would not have suffered a loss. WIth the ridiculous demand you stated, you were aiming to acquire certain information from me. You had no way of knowing, whether I would actually follow through with it.My suspicion is that you wanted to learn more about the youths that had tortured you prior to your arrival. But I wonder why you went through all of that preparation, for what seems to be a low payoff.”
Let me get rid of the big misconception that is plaguing your mind. I could not care any less about those nutjobs. What benefit would any knowledge about them bring to me? I have never seen anyone in the whole time I have been here, so there is a big chance, that they are somewhere entirely different. Although the premise of vengeance has a certain enticement to it, I won't act on a whim and pass up on this opportunity.
That being said, let me just dispel the rest of your doubts. My target had been to get to know whether you had lied to me in the beginning or not. Nothing more and nothing less. This should not be something, that surprising to you giving all my prior statements.I could confirm, that you either lied to me or deliberately did not tell me the full truth. Whatever your intention behind doing so was, is secondary.
Your authority enables you to wield the power to determine my fate at any point in time, therefore I am still of use to you, otherwise, you would have disposed of me already. With my current position in mind, I decided to set up this little act.
With the knowledge, that all the things you have stated possibly being lies, I am left with no other choice, than treating each word you have said and will say with that mindset.
This change should not affect the current status of our current relationship but will have an impact on its future development.
”Which benefit do you expect coming from telling me all of this? There seem to be only downsides to it from my point of view.”
