Chapter 79 - 80: Teddy Bear
[Memory Cage: Dominant and Puppet]
Level: S
Appearance: An hourglass broken in two at the center, with black sand that never falls.
Function: Offers protection against mental corruption and overload. However, it creates an artificial personality layer that can be rewritten by the person who holds the dominant half of the broken hourglass.
Dominant: Can suspend the user’s memories mid-conversation, confusing or freezing them. It can overwrite memories and make the holder of the puppet half believe what the holder of the dominant half wants.
Note: This is a trick artifact.
Cail held the dominant part of the hourglass in his hand. The abomination had bought this artifact after his sales pitch. As for the reason he couldn’t remember buying it? It was because Cail had manipulated his memory.
This is an S-level artifact, and after seeing the price, Cail realized that the sleepless guy got a bargain. Basically, the price to pay for this artifact was the client’s place in someone else’s life.
Cail held the crystal that came out after the abomination paid the price. He had no idea, as of now, if he would eat it. What if it put him in a very disadvantageous position?
The position in some stranger’s life wasn’t what he wanted, but it was the dense energy inside the crystal. Cail felt that if he ate the crystal, he would break through his level.
Actually, because of this trade, he already realized something. The contract he signed pertaining to the box didn’t stop him from lying to others. He didn’t have to tell them everything about the artifact, and Cail wouldn’t suffer any backlash.
