Chapter 127: Chapter 126: "Fragments of the King of Nightmares! The Decree of Liberation!
```
As for the Thompson Submachine Gun, a gunman's exclusive E-grade weapon, it's not worth much anymore.
Some time ago, Chen Miao not only invited him to join the "Tomb Guardian" faction to enjoy the S-grade Faction Effect of the Tomb Guardians but also gave him 500,000 credit points. Now, he has given him this Taboo Item that's a perfect match for him.
He didn't know how to repay such great kindness.
He used to be able to interact with Chen Miao as an elder, but now he found it hard to call out his name. He had taken so much from Chen Miao already.
"Now, start imagining the most uncomfortable moment of your life."
...
In Chen Miao's view, Doctor Gou was at that moment with his eyes tightly closed, his forehead's veins bulging, his face slightly contorted, but his eyes remained tightly shut throughout, as he sat by like a curious baby watching.
Over the phone, Zhang Liu's voice turned low and slightly anxious, "Quick, Miao, think of a key word for him, one that will quickly bring him to this emotional state."
"Me? Shouldn't he think of it himself?"
"His brain is now in a deep sleep mode, unresponsive to normal conversation. And make the keyword as complex as possible, to avoid accidentally triggering it during daily conversations."
"Wait, let me think..."
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Miao then solemnly said, "The keyword will be set as—"
"Fragment of the King of Nightmares! Decree of Liberation to free the world!"
"Oh frozen blade of black void, combine with my strength, my body!"
"Together we step towards the path of destruction, to annihilate the souls of all the gods!"
"How's that? A total of around sixty words should be enough to avoid accidental activation in daily conversation, right?"
"..."
In the video, Zhang Liu was silent and expressionless, as if trying to communicate something but restrained by Chen Miao's authority, and after a moment proceeded with the protocol, his voice slowly magnetic.
"Doctor Gou."
"Remember your current emotions. When you recite 'King of Nightmares...' you will instantly enter the current emotional state."
Just like that.
"In short, just one sentence—"
"You must combine the two valves for use, and can't get the order wrong or use the same valve multiple times."
"Otherwise, the outcome could be dangerous."
"And this valve is one-time use only; the permanent valves must be set in person. And since human brains are fragile, even if you set up valves next time, the cipher must remain the same, unable to be changed or modified."
"Understood."
Chen Miao nodded, and even though Zhang Liu didn't see it, the panel of the Taboo Item that just flashed was significant. As soon as the first valve was used, Doctor Gou's emotions would never stabilize again, with the Taboo Item amplifying the desire for death indefinitely.
It's true that the body has the ability to process emotions.
But... that doesn't help when a Taboo Item is determined to see you dead.
This Taboo Item shouldn't be called "Undying Loyalty"; "Obligatory EMO at the Stroke of Midnight" seems more appropriate.
Soon—
With just a few seconds remaining before the bus was to depart, all the passengers were on board, and Doctor Gou seemed to have just woken up. He leaned in close to Chen Miao and whispered, "Is it done?"
"Done."
Chen Miao nodded and recited the two phrases before instructing, "These two sentences are the ciphers for those two valves in your brain, you have to commit them to memory. The first one is for activation, the second one is for deactivation."
"If you can't remember them, write them down on a piece of paper and keep it on you."
"Make sure to keep a clear head and remember to deactivate it, don't end up actually killing yourself."
"Don't look at me like that."
Chen Miao pretended to be displeased, "This is an E-grade Taboo Item, eh? Do I need to explain the value of a Taboo Item to you, especially when it's one that suits you perfectly? Why are you so concerned about some insignificant things?"
"Is it because the cipher is a bit embarrassing, a bit too dramatic?"
"Can't help it, it's to prevent you from accidentally triggering it in your daily life."
"By the way, this time it's for one-time use. For permanent effect, you must be hypnotized by me in person. And even if it is permanent, the cipher can't be changed. It has to remain this one."
Chen Miao suddenly slapped his forehead as if remembering something.
"Oh, I forgot something."
