Chapter 432: The Path of Sequences and the Method of Acting

"Finally, there is Fujiwara."

Fujiwara Chika, whose name was called, also stood up with a full smile on her face.

"The first thing I obtained was a potion that grants a special ability upon drinking. My power system is the same as Ren Amamiya's."

But immediately after, the smile on her face turned into a fear and worry that made her heart race.

"Mm, the only headache is that some deviations occurred during my process of gaining power. I experienced the loss of control symptoms Ren Amamiya mentioned. Although I don't know the cause, I did see some very strange scenes."

"Is your power and Ren Amamiya's so dangerous?"

Saya Aizawa couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"It is quite dangerous."

Fujiwara Chika held her head in great distress; she really did not want to re-experience that feeling.

"At that time, I saw the world collapse, all colors turned into a single lump, and I seemed to be completely lost in all of this, even without consciousness. Consciousness was like fragments, peeling off bit by bit, as if clearly perceiving that I was about to die."

"Clearly feeling... that I was going to go mad."

Now recalling the situation at that time, Fujiwara Chika's face, full of smiles, also showed some unnatural signs of collapse, like a lingering effect.

Seeing her like this, all the girls unconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Without directly feeling it, they could roughly understand what kind of mood that phrase "going to go mad" was spoken in; the feeling behind it was probably nothing but despair.

The lingering effects of the collapse were adjusted with effort, and that expression recovered some of its original smile.

"It's fine now. Mm, absolutely fine now."

After repeating and emphasizing it, Fujiwara Chika's emotions quickly returned to her original cheerfulness.

But everyone could see that there were absolutely problems within, and everyone subconsciously looked at the main pillar.

Ren Amamiya shook his head slightly, signaling that everything was temporarily fine.

After receiving the main pillar's approval, everyone finally relaxed.

"The potion system is not a very good choice; becoming an extraordinary being means facing the risk of loss of control at any moment. Besides one's own loss of control, there is also knowledge pollution caused by knowledge that cannot be contacted."

"One can draw lessons from the Old Ones of Cthulhu. The moment a mortal sees an Old One, due to the limitations of their own cognition, they cannot accept the information spread by those Old Ones, thus becoming polluted by the Old Ones' information, resulting in the engulfment of their own consciousness, and their bodies will also begin to mutate accordingly."

To avoid everyone's misunderstanding and wrong cognition, Ren Amamiya still provided some simple introductions.

"This, this isn't irrelevant!"

After Ren Amamiya's introduction, Saya Aizawa immediately questioned loudly.

"Indeed, it sounds very problematic. But in reality, according to verification, this situation can be controlled. When Fujiwara first took the potion, it was a gathering of loss of control and pollution, but I did manage to control this situation."

Facing Young Lady Aizawa's questioning, Ren Amamiya still calmly responded.

"Fujiwara's safety will be my responsibility. When she promotes next, I will also be watching from the side to ensure she does not encounter unavoidable situations."

Having received the answer, Saya Aizawa calmed down a bit, but then her brows furrowed tightly.

"What about you?"

"As for me, there is no need to worry. I was very clear about the problems of the potion system from the beginning, so the Diary gave me a special prerequisite at the start, allowing me to avoid being affected by the side effects of the potion system."

Ren Amamiya patiently gave an explanation.

This explanation also stabilized Saya Aizawa's emotions a lot. She is very good at capturing others' emotions; perhaps this is because she has always taken care of many younger brothers and sisters in the past.

So she could capture even better what exactly Chika was enduring after that collapsed look.

However, as long as Ren Amamiya's side has no major problems, it is fine. At least if Ren Amamiya does not encounter a situation, Chika's problem is not big.

If Ren Amamiya encountered a problem, they would have no way to handle it.

Saya Aizawa still trusts Ren Amamiya now, because Ren Amamiya is relatively reliable, does not speak loosely, and is very practical. She believes Ren Amamiya truly has this ability.

After a simple chat with Saya Aizawa and receiving her affirmation, Ren Amamiya shifted the topic back to Fujiwara.

"Fujiwara took a Sequence 9 potion, the lowest rank... Of course, even if it is just the lowest rank Sequence, it already possesses abilities exceeding ordinary people."

"The Audience is the name of that potion. The potions of this path do not directly enhance Fujiwara's physical abilities, but they will maximize the enhancement of spirit and observation. Just as the potion's name suggests, the ability to watch and analyze possessed by the Audience."

"For the Audience, what needs to be done is to observe the stories happening around every day, every moment, thereby observing everyone's reactions and confirming the meaning each person wants to express in their heart. So, this is the reminder I want to give to Fujiwara: you are just the Audience; you are not an actor. You do not need to participate; what is needed is just to watch."

Those last words were spoken by Ren Amamiya specifically to Fujiwara.

"And then there is a key point that every extraordinary being walking the Path of Sequences needs to know."

"The key to the potion lies not in mastery, but in digestion. The power contained within the potion does not become stronger through excavation, but becomes stronger based on how much of the potion you can digest."

"And one method to digest the potion is the Method of Acting. The so-called Method of Acting is to make oneself fit the core that the potion needs to elaborate, to fit this core in one's daily life, thereby making oneself fit the essence of the potion more closely, slowly allowing oneself to digest that potion one has consumed."

"Fujiwara, you must remember, you are just acting; do not over-invest yourself. Once you over-invest yourself, then it is not you digesting the potion, but the potion assimilating you."

This is a very important element of walking the Path of Sequences, and also a key point that every extraordinary being must remember.

"Understood."

Listening seriously to these words, and firmly memorizing all the content she needed to remember in her heart, Fujiwara Chika then nodded to indicate.

"Ren Amamiya, I am walking the Audience path; what path are you walking?"

No one had asked this question in the past, but as she walked into the same path as Ren Amamiya, Fujiwara Chika felt she could learn about it.

"Seer, Thief, and Apprentice."

Ren Amamiya thought for a moment and then spoke out the three paths he was walking.
