After saying this, without waiting for Klein's reaction, Lin Ruo controlled his spirit to fly to the wall and pass through it.
However, once out of Klein's sight, he didn't continue to test the distance he could move away from Klein. Instead, he quietly activated his special ability.
"I don't understand the Ruen common language, this is a fallacy."
Lin Ruo whispered, and immediately received feedback from his ability, indicating that this statement was now true.
This meant that for the time being, he could naturally understand the Ruen common language he saw and heard, even though he had never learned it—until he canceled this "fallacy" or his ability's energy was exhausted.
Yes, maintaining it!
This is the difference between "fallacy" and "truth." The consumption of "truth" is immediate; once fate is guided, the energy is consumed regardless of whether it is realized. But "fallacy" usually requires continuous energy consumption, as it constantly distorts reality or perception.
Multiple fallacies can be maintained simultaneously, but the energy consumption does not decrease, so Lin Ruo generally doesn't maintain multiple fallacies at once.
After temporarily understanding the Ruen common language, Lin Ruo used "fallacy" to learn the commonly used Hermes language in the extraordinary field. This was both an experiment and a precaution to avoid being completely illiterate in future extraordinary matters. Other languages in the extraordinary field would have to be learned later.
Lin Ruo was confident in his learning ability, almost having a photographic memory. With the help of "fallacy," learning new languages wouldn't be difficult.
"If I can learn extraordinary languages through my ability, what about the corresponding knowledge?" After confirming he could use "fallacy" to learn extraordinary languages, Lin Ruo thought for a moment and said:
"I don't know the potion formula for Sequence 9 of the Fate pathway, this is a fallacy."
His ability activated with his words, but this time it failed.
"As expected… this kind of fallacy can't be realized." Lin Ruo wasn't surprised, continuing to test his abilities.
"I don't have a real body, this is a fallacy."
Failed…
"I'm not an extraordinary of the Diviner pathway, this is a fallacy."
Activated… huh? It worked?
Lin Ruo blinked, feeling the aura of a Diviner pathway angel on him, knowledge appearing in his mind as his ability took effect.
At this moment, to those who understood, he appeared to be a Sequence 2 of the Diviner pathway. Even using extraordinary abilities to verify would yield the same result.
But it was just an illusion.
Lin Ruo hadn't truly gained the abilities of a Sequence 2 Diviner; it was just a disguise.
If it were just this, Lin Ruo wouldn't be too surprised. He had tried using "fallacy" to gain abilities other than "truth fallacy" in his previous life, but always failed. This attempt was to see if the different world made a difference.
What truly surprised Lin Ruo was the information he received after activating his ability—his current ability couldn't support simulating a Sequence 2 Diviner's abilities, as it would drain him instantly.
This information seemed trivial but made Lin Ruo swallow nervously.
Could it be…
"I'm not a demigod of the Diviner pathway, this is a fallacy."
Strange power filled Lin Ruo, belonging to a Sequence 4 Seer of the Diviner pathway.
Indeed!
Lin Ruo couldn't help but smile, exploring the abilities he now possessed through "fallacy."
Divination, combat, faceless man, manipulating spirit threads… he could use all the abilities mentioned in the original work for a Seer.
This made Lin Ruo excitedly test these abilities, but he stopped after a few.
In just eleven or twelve seconds, he had consumed nearly a fifth of his energy. Lin Ruo quickly canceled this "fallacy" and checked his energy consumption, drawing some conclusions.
"If I don't maintain other fallacies, I can sustain the Sequence 4 state for about 60 seconds, but after that, I'll be exhausted and need half a day to recover…" Lin Ruo mused, "One minute… if used well, it could change the battle, but it feels like a self-destruct technique."
However, he wasn't too dissatisfied. Compared to his previous life where he couldn't gain combat abilities through "fallacy," being a "one-minute superman" was an improvement.
He conducted a few more experiments, finding that non-extraordinary results were similar to his previous life. For extraordinary matters, he could rarely gain knowledge, but most abilities worked. The limit was Sequence 4; abilities at Sequence 4 and below could be gained through "fallacy," but the energy consumption was high, increasing as he approached Sequence 4. Several experiments nearly drained him.
If he hadn't restrained his urge to continue experimenting, Lin Ruo might not have had enough energy to maintain his understanding of the Ruen common language and Hermes language.
After testing his "fallacy" ability, Lin Ruo, too exhausted to test his "truth" ability, checked how far he could move from Klein. He concluded that his range was limited to about 100 meters from Klein.
This range wasn't too small but not large either. Considering his current strange state, staying close to Klein might be beneficial.
Thinking this, Lin Ruo returned to the room and saw Klein cleaning the bloodstains left by the body's original owner, occasionally glancing at the mirror.
When Lin Ruo reappeared in the mirror's view, Klein saw him and immediately asked, "How was it?"
"I tested it. My range is limited to about 100 meters from you. Any further and it's like hitting an invisible wall," Lin Ruo said with a smile, this time in the Ruen common language.
Klein didn't think much of Lin Ruo's sudden language switch. Despite their previous conversation in Chinese, Lin Ruo had mentioned Backlund, a place known only to people of this world, making Klein subconsciously regard him as an experienced traveler. Naturally, an experienced traveler like Lin Ruo would know the world's language.
"Doesn't that mean you're essentially imprisoned near me?" Klein frowned, still puzzled about why Lin Ruo stayed outside for so long if the range was only 100 meters. But he genuinely felt that being bound within 100 meters was like imprisonment for Lin Ruo.
And for Klein himself, having a spirit constantly nearby was quite inconvenient.
