In the Spirit World Depths, Leyton fell into contemplation as Bugs Bunny was suddenly surrounded by a group of transparent, rabbit-like creatures that looked rather dull.
Even though you're all rabbits, you're not the same species! As Knowledge Rabbits, shouldn't you be surrounding me, who clearly possesses more knowledge?
"Uh, Boss, save me! I'm going to be drowned by these dull rabbits!"
Bugs Bunny, surrounded by a group of Knowledge Rabbits, struggled to poke out a gray head and shouted towards Leyton. His tall top hat had already been pushed off to some unknown corner.
"Did we stumble into a rabbit's nest?!"
Leyton's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at the Knowledge Rabbits, who had completely surrounded them but were politely not disturbing him, and sighed helplessly.
Immediately, he gently rubbed his fingers, creating specks of starlight around him.
These starlights quickly flew away from him, casting rays of brilliance that enveloped all the Knowledge Rabbits.
At the same time, a faint purple halo flowed in Leyton's eyes, as if countless shining stars were reflected within them. His eyes became indifferent and cold, yet they gave off an exceptionally sacred and wise feeling.
Pairs of cold, indifferent, lashless eyes, as if containing countless brilliant stars, appeared on each Knowledge Rabbit, overlapping with their own eyes.
A phantom "light," invisible to most Beyonders, appeared in the eyes of every Knowledge Rabbit.
This light seemed to be composed of complex information. As it reflected into their eyes, pure, complex knowledge began to pour into their minds.
"Wahhh Wahhh"
All the Knowledge Rabbits simultaneously began to tumble. They uniformly clutched their heads, colliding and twisting into a heap, then quickly scattering.
Their dull eyes were filled with pain, and their translucent bodies were stained with some pitch-black. Eerie, indifferent eyes, devoid of any emotion, tore open on their bodies.
"Uh, Boss! Don't kill these dull rabbits!"
"They mean no harm."
No longer surrounded by Knowledge Rabbits, Bugs Bunny quickly squeezed out of the struggling rabbit group and leaped towards Leyton, preparing to interrupt his actions.
One brilliant star after another appeared around Bugs Bunny, instantly condensing into a solid wall that blocked him in mid-air.
Leyton maintained his posture and said calmly:
"They'll be fine. I'm just giving them some knowledge. If it's suitable, I plan to recruit all of them."
"Recruit... You're going to keep other rabbits! And a whole bunch of them!"
"No! You already have one rabbit!"
Bugs Bunny was shocked for a moment, then struggled even harder against the wall of condensed starlight.
He suddenly felt that these dull rabbits, who were clutching their heads and wailing, weren't so pitiful after all. Annoying dull rabbits, both stupid and annoying!
Leyton's indifferent gaze swept over Bugs Bunny, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly. He suddenly felt that Bugs Bunny was the greatest help in maintaining his humanity.
A moment later, he gently poked his finger, and with a snap, he snapped his fingers. The surrounding starlight quickly dissipated.
The wall of starlight around Bugs Bunny also disappeared, and he immediately pounced on Leyton. His weight, which was severely disproportionate to his size, caused Leyton to stumble.
Leyton took two steps back and, after steadying himself, chuckled and said:
"I'm not keeping other rabbits. I want to recruit them. I'll pay them with knowledge, and they'll help me with work."
"Knowledge Rabbits love to pursue knowledge, are proficient in multiple languages, can speak and write, and have excellent reading comprehension. They can extract key points from large amounts of knowledge on their own, making them excellent helpers."
"Besides being too weak, having poor communication skills, and being rigid in their thinking, they have no other flaws. They are very suitable for tasks that are not too complex but require considerable knowledge."
Hearing that Leyton wasn't going to keep this group of rabbits, Bugs Bunny finally got off him, picked up the top hat that had been knocked off earlier, then pouted and said disdainfully:
"Black-hearted boss, trying to exploit dull rabbits without paying them!"
Has the rabbit learned to change its expression after spending so much time with the Faceless? Leyton muttered to himself, then looked at the surrounding Knowledge Rabbits.
The pitch-black in their translucent bodies had disappeared, and the eyes that had grown on their bodies had re-closed, returning to normal.
Their dull eyes now had a bit more light, shining like the Cosmos, but they still looked rather dull.
Leyton's gaze swept around. After the Knowledge Rabbits had mostly processed the knowledge they had just been infused with and recovered, he chuckled and said:
"Hello, do you accept long-term employment? The reward will be various forms of knowledge within your tolerable range."
The surrounding Knowledge Rabbits all looked at Leyton. Although they were no longer as rigid in their thinking as before, they still looked dull and foolish.
Being stared at by a group of Knowledge Rabbits with dull gazes, Leyton felt like he was about to be assimilated by them. Is a dull gaze contagious?
"I feel like I'm turning into a silly rabbit..." Bugs Bunny, on the side, covered his eyes with his two flexible drooping ears.
The next moment, all the Knowledge Rabbits simultaneously looked upwards, towards the Spirit World Depths. Leyton, whose spiritual perception was triggered, also looked up.
He saw a pair of cold, indifferent, lashless eyes, containing countless brilliant stars, quietly emerge. He and these Knowledge Rabbits stared at each other.
The Knowledge Rabbits' reaction seemed to be half a beat slow. Only after meeting the cold, indifferent gaze above their heads did they react, showing signs of panic.
In just a moment, the pair of eyes containing countless brilliant stars abruptly disappeared, just as they had abruptly appeared.
After a period of panic, the surrounding Knowledge Rabbits found that they were unaffected, and the terrifying gaze from the Spirit World Depths above their heads had also disappeared at some point. They quickly regained their composure.
This group of Knowledge Rabbits seemed to be different. Purple brilliance flowed in Leyton's eyes as he casually observed them.
Each of these Knowledge Rabbits had a pair of eyes on its back—a pair of cold, indifferent, lashless eyes containing countless brilliant stars.
Within their translucent bodies, there were also faint starlights floating. Leyton saw some shadows of a Mysticologist in them.
These Knowledge Rabbits seemed to have gained the ability to draw power from knowledge. With the advantage of being Spirit World creatures, they could fully possess Warlock-like magical abilities.
Did the Hidden Sage choose this group of Knowledge Rabbits as his dependents? These weak Spirit World creatures can't withstand his pursuit of knowledge... As he pondered, Leyton's brow gradually furrowed. He couldn't understand why the Hidden Sage would do this.
Leyton looked at the Knowledge Rabbits surrounding him and Bugs Bunny, feeling a headache. He suddenly didn't know how to reasonably arrange them.
Knowledge Rabbits have a characteristic of pursuing knowledge, which makes them prone to mutation by mastering some dangerous knowledge... Moreover, the Hidden Sage's greatest hobby is to infuse others with knowledge.
