Chapter 1531 Can pollute the entire divine star
"They're here," Anthony thought, his heart skipping a beat, as he looked the Star Migrator up and down.
There were many questions surrounding the migrating star. In the previous conversation, Anthony only scratched the surface and did not delve deeper to extract information, because the time was not right and he was afraid of arousing the star's suspicion.
Timing is crucial when trying to extract information from someone. If they're in a hurry and about to pee, trying to get information out of them will only get you beaten up. If you don't know them well, trying to get information out of them will only make them wary, and you definitely won't get anything out of them.
The easiest way to get information out of someone is when they have a desire to confide in you or when they want something from you.
Now that the person seeking a connection has something in mind, their desire to talk will double, and asking sensitive questions will no longer put them on guard.
Anthony asked, "Do you have something to remove? Are you injured?"
The following sentence, "I'm injured," is meant to elicit the origin of what needs to be eliminated. Whether it's an injury or something else, it can serve as a trigger for Anthony to move on to the next question.
"No, no, no, I wasn't injured, but it was a kind of... um... a kind of..." The Star Migrator stammered, unable to say what it was for a long time.
Anthony asked tentatively, "A seal? A mark? A contamination?"
When the topic of a type of pollution came up, the Migratory Starman immediately nodded.
Looking at him like this, Anthony asked with some doubt, "Can't you say it voluntarily? Are you under some kind of restriction?"
The migrating star nodded immediately.
Anthony nodded in understanding. It wasn't surprising that there were restrictions preventing him from voluntarily revealing secrets. From oaths of loyalty to demonic contracts, there were countless ways to limit voluntary disclosure.
However, no matter how many restrictions there are, there are still more ways to exploit loopholes. If you restrict leaks, what if someone else guesses the information themselves? Would that not count as a leak?
Even the most meticulously crafted contracts cannot prevent loopholes from being exploited. Therefore, demonic contracts are often incredibly complex, yet riddled with flaws. Whether it's preventing others from exploiting these loopholes or exploiting them themselves, demons are first-rate.
Anthony was naturally top-notch, able to guess so quickly that the other party had restrictions and pollution. Did he need Ang's help to remove the pollution, or to remove the restrictions?
The Star Migrator shook his head: "Once those things are cleared away, these things will naturally become meaningless."
Those things? These things? It seems that the only thing that can't be mentioned is the keywords "pollution" and "ban." Anthony immediately thought of those Starborn and the ancient manta ray.
The Guman snake had also placed a keyword restriction on the Starborn there; it would immediately dissipate as soon as its name was uttered.
The same applies to the Star Migrator, but it only restricts him from speaking actively; passively hearing things will not trigger it.
It makes sense, since 'contamination' and 'prohibition' are very common words. If passively hearing them would trigger a prohibition, he would have done so long ago.
However, the name "Kumantha" is unique, and if you've never heard of it before, you can't even name it, which passively limits your understanding of it.
Realizing it was just a keyword and he could avoid it, Anthony asked, "Who poured the dirty stuff on me?"
"Huh? Dirty... Oh, it's the Lord of the Branch Road." The Star Migrator paused for a moment before realizing that "dirty" referred to the source of pollution, and quickly said.
Anthony thought for a moment and asked, "You stayed here, hiding in this hard shell, just to avoid the Lord of the side road?"
The Star Migrator nodded: "Yes, this is a place beyond his reach. As long as I stay here, I will not be under his control. Only the filth on my body will threaten me, but as long as I don't say those words, it won't be triggered."
Anthony asked curiously, "Then why did you want to eliminate it? Since the will of the Lord of the Branch Roads can't reach here anyway, you can just avoid touching it, right?"
The Star Migrator gave a wry smile: "Didn't you hear what those dark stars were saying? They said two terrifying beings have arrived outside, and many divine stars want to come here for refuge. If they come in and sense their power, they'll find me, won't they?"
“Secondly, what if the Lord of a Branch is also killed by those two terrifying beings? If his mark falls into the hands of other divine stars, and those divine stars hide in and discover me, wouldn’t I be in even worse shape? It would be better for the Lord of a Branch to escape in.” The Star Migrator said.
Anthony nodded. Indeed, if it were Pope Guglielmo ordering him around, he would grit his teeth and accept it, but if it were a minor priest ordering him around with a papal decree, he would have that person burned at the stake.
"Do your side streets have names?" Anthony asked.
“No,” the Migratory Starman said.
“Then let’s call it the River of Migration, or the Migration Path. You need to give me something unclean so that my lord can try to cleanse it. Do you have it with you now?” Anthony asked.
“No, but…” The Star Migrator reached out and grabbed, and a ball of starfire immediately condensed in his palm. Then, it swelled into a semi-transparent sphere. In the center of the sphere, a somewhat dim ball of starfire slowly condensed and was tightly wrapped by the semi-transparent sphere.
"Catch it on the spot?" Anthony frowned, puzzled. "Can't you distinguish it? Why don't you just get rid of it yourself?"
The Migrant said, “Do you know how long it took me to distinguish this? Several months, and it was useless. As soon as I felt the total amount was less, it would quickly make up for it again. That thing is more like restricting them, otherwise it would have turned me into it long ago.”
"That's incredible? It can turn you completely into it? You're a god-like star!" Anthony exclaimed in shock.
The Star Migrator nodded and then handed the item to Anthony.
Anthony didn't dare to accept it and quickly shook his head: "If it can turn you into it, then I wouldn't dare let it get close to the God Star. You should stay away for now, and I'll ask the master to come over."
After saying that, he called out to Ang in the soul network: "My lord, please come and take a look."
Ang teleported to Anthony's side, his gaze sweeping over the Star Migrator before finally settling on his hand.
Anthony quietly explained the situation. Upon hearing that the filthy thing in the Star Migrator's hand could pollute the entire divine star, Ang immediately used his divine sense to scan it.
It was the same star flame, no different from ordinary star flame. Ang tilted his head and looked at Anthony.
Anthony immediately felt a headache coming on. He wasn't like Negris, who could read Ang's body language. He just needed to call Negris for help as soon as possible.
Negris projected the message and translated, "Nothing special. What's so special about it?"
The migrating star said, "It can turn mine into its own and keep the total amount constant. Can you clear it away?"
Ang looked left and right, then suddenly reached out and pulled out a piece of the Shroud of Turin. He wrapped it around the translucent sphere and said, "I need to study it."
