Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2686 Delineate the scope
After waiting for a while, there was still no response.

Angel spoke again: "Are you really not coming out?"

Angel began to seduce with words, saying something like "I'm leaving if you don't come out", "I'm going to start counting down", "3, 2, 1... I'll count down again, the last time".

But no matter what he said, "Countdown" was repeated several times, but the surrounding area was still silent.

Angel sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "Unfortunately, I didn't cheat."

Then he turned his head and looked at everyone: "Let's go, let's continue."

After speaking, Angel turned around without hesitation and continued to walk forward.

Looking at Angel's back, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Did your lord find the wood spirit?" Wai asked with some doubts.

"Didn't he say that he didn't cheat, so it must be..." When Doakes said "sure", various deeds of Angor in Queen's Town appeared in his mind. It seems possible to tell the truth as a lie.

Moreover, Angel rarely does meaningless things along the way.If the action just now was just acting, wouldn't the movement be a bit too loud?
Thinking of this, Doakes withdrew his firm words, and put it another way: "It should be fake, it should be."

Wei thought for a while, then looked at Kael.

They seem to be in the Stairway to Hell, but they are actually just illusions constructed by Angel. Even if the wood spirits really appear, as long as Angel does not replace the illusion, they will not be able to see the wood spirits.Of course, the wood spirits couldn't see them either.

The only person present who entered the Ladder of Hell with Angel was Kael.Therefore, they wanted to know the situation at the scene, and apart from what Angel himself said, Kael was the best channel.

However, Kael was also a little confused at this time.

Seeing Wai looking at him, Kael also said with a confused face: "I didn't see anything, is the wood spirit really here?"

Kael also didn't have any warrants, so the wise master who was present knew the inside story.However, Wai didn't dare to ask the wise master, so he could only secretly cast a look at Doakes and motioned him to ask.

However, before Doakes could reply to his "hint", Earl Hei's voice came from beside him: "If it is true, he will find a way to get the wood spirit out; if it is false, then there is no need to discuss it." No. Read on and you'll know."

After the words fell, Earl Hei took the lead to leave the place, followed Angel's pace, and stepped into the deep silence.

Earl Hei said so, and the others naturally could only obey and followed suit.

The wise ruler was the last to leave. He looked into the dark void with doubts in his eyes.Just now, he really believed in Angor, because Angor's expression and demeanor at that time did not seem to be acting.

But later, Angor's sentence "I didn't cheat out of it" made him confused.

Yep, even the Sophist is stuck with the same problem as Wai.

Although he can perceive the situation inside the Ladder of Hanging Prison through the magic circle, his special student—Mu Ling has a higher talent for concealment than anyone imagined, so if he doesn't go in and look for it himself, Even a wise man cannot confirm the location of the wood spirit.

Therefore, whether Angel was performing just now, or if he really found the wood spirit and called for him to come out, the wise ruler is actually not sure.However, from his point of view, Angel did not seem to be lying just now.

But the other party gave up and left so decisively, which made the wise master also feel suspicious.

However, what confused the wise ruler even more was not whether what he just said was true or not, but Angel.

"Odd behavior, secret responsibilities, all abilities and skills...the age is not over 40 years old." The wise ruler silently chanted these labels in his heart. What is the purpose of such a person?
In his mind, Angel could even be called a "variable".

According to the script he set, this group of people will definitely enter the legacy area, but they will offend the goddess, and finally flee in a panic.At that time, the wise master will save them, of course, except for the nose whose identity is definitely doubtful.

Then, through the grace of saving their lives, they learned about the situation inside the leftover land from their mouths, and spied out the secret of the goddess.

As for the aftermath, the wise ruler doesn't care.You can kill them, or you can erase the memory of them being here, and then let them go.After all, the Noah family is also a powerful family now. If they discover the secret here and attract their peeps, their size and connections alone will be enough to make the dormant Naraku City drink a big pot.

In order to avoid trouble, the wise master will not let the situation here spread.Therefore, killing or erasing memory is optional.Which one to choose, the wise master will consider the current situation and the attitude of this group of people to make a choice.

However, these are the script flow set by the wise master before, and now, he is a little hesitant.

It's all because of Angel.

Angel is definitely not a descendant of Noah, but the energy behind it is definitely not simple, and may even surpass the Noah family.

It is very strange that such a person comes here, and what is even more strange is that every move of his chess can always fall in places that the wise master can't think of.

This is a variable, a variable that may change the ending drastically.

Such a variable is not necessarily bad.

According to the previous concept of being dominated by wise men, even if this variable is not bad, he will eliminate it.A variable is a variable, disrupting his planning process, even if there is a windfall, he cannot let it go.

But after ten thousand years of perseverance, the idea of ​​letting the wise man dominate has also begun to change.

The purpose of sticking to the rules is to seek stability, but if you want to burst out innovations that combine inspiration, what you need is not stability, but change.

He has maintained this stability for thousands of years, but he has not gained anything. Not only can Naluo see no hope of recovery, but it is getting more and more declining.

He can wait ten thousand years, but it is impossible to wait until the next ten thousand years.It's not that I'm not patient enough, but that the journey of this life is almost at the end.

So, he needs to change.Only by changing can the status quo of decline be changed.

He wanted to find out the truth about the leftover land, pry into the secret of the goddess, and also wanted to ask for a change.

It's just that the "change" he's looking for now hasn't deviated from his script.Because the pursuit of stability cultivated for thousands of years has penetrated into his heart, his changes are like: seeking change while maintaining stability.

But can this change really meet his expectations?
Perhaps, it is time to consider a more radical "change".

But, will this young supernova be a variable that brings changes to this lifeless city of Naraku?

"Observe again, observe again..." the wise master muttered in his heart, and set foot on the road of void again.

……

Not only is the wise master observing, Doakes has also been observing Angel.

He always felt that Angel would not do some meaningless things inexplicably. Since Angel said that there was a "little guy" watching in the dark, if it was true, he would definitely take action next.

In Doakes' thinking, Angel may have been checking and confirming the location of the "little guy", and after confirming, he broke through the opponent's location by surprise and forced the opponent out.

However, the more he observed, the more puzzled Doakes became.

Angor's speed was quite fast, and he didn't have any intention of staying at all. It really looked like he was leaving the hanging ladder instead of looking for the wood spirit.

Moreover, Angel did not show the intention of looking around from the beginning to the end, and his eyes kept looking forward firmly.

Although Doakes didn't know whether Angel was secretly using mental power to investigate the surroundings, but if you want to investigate, mental power alone is not enough. Some things cannot be seen with the naked eye, but mental power can perceive them; Spiritual power may not be able to detect things, but they can be seen with the naked eye.

Maybe the wood spirit is the latter, or even both.

Therefore, in Doakes' view, Angor should not have investigated secretly.He was really "in a hurry" to leave.

"Did I guess wrong again?...Why did I say 'again'?"

When Doakes was confused, Kael walked up to Angel.

"My lord, we are going to the exit soon, we, shall we leave like this?"

Kael wanted to ask if he wanted to find the wood spirit again, but he thought he had only asked once before, so he was embarrassed to ask again, so he could only express it tactfully.

"I've come here, I must leave."

When Angel said this, he paused, and continued: "However, before we leave, let's go see the wood spirit."

When Kael heard the front, he thought that Angel had given up, but after the second half of the sentence fell, Kael suddenly raised his head.

"Wood spirit? Has your lord discovered the wood spirit?"

Angel smiled mysteriously: "I told a lie, do you believe it?"

Kael: "..."

Angel: "It's almost there, let's go and have a look."

Angel patted Kael on the shoulder, motioning him to follow.

Kael froze for a moment, nodded, followed Angel, and walked forward.

The others also heard Angel's words, but they were very calm now.Mainly, Angel seems to have been playing with their mentality.

Whether it's true or not, they can't judge, just like what Earl Black said, just look at it with their eyes.

If Angel heard their voices at this time, there is a high probability that they would be very wronged.As an "anchor", isn't it to create suspense, to create ups and downs, and to create a fascinating and exciting plot?

He performed so hard, it was thankless.He also gave him a high hat of "playing with their mentality", which made him feel wronged.

However, it is hard to say whether it is really wronged or pretended.

Of course, it's also fortunate that Angel didn't know their thoughts, and didn't express his grievances, otherwise, the mentality of the others would probably collapse again.

……

What Angel said was "coming soon", this time it was really coming soon.

Kael only followed Angor for about 20 meters and then stopped. He looked at the surrounding environment and found that this was the fork where the left and right roads had split before.

"My lord, is the wood spirit around here?"

Kael looked around suspiciously. There were no ruins nearby, let alone anything unusual.If you really want to hide, you can only hide in the lonely void.

But, will the wood spirit really be in the void?If it was in the void, how did Angel discover it?
Angel let out a "hmm", then closed his eyes, as if he had entered a state of perception.

Kael didn't dare to disturb Angel, and he didn't know whether he should also sense the surrounding situation...but he was afraid that if he sensed it himself, he would scare the wood spirit away.

Kael looked at Doakes with a begging look.

Doakes: "Since Kim isn't holding you back, you're completely free to do whatever you want."

After a pause, Doakes said again: "By the way, if you find something abnormal, let us know as soon as possible."

Angel seemed to have no intention of explaining, so Doakes could only pin his hopes on Kael.

It's just that Kael sensed his mental power and searched around, and even used the power of space, but he still didn't find any abnormalities nearby.

After a while, Kael gave up in frustration.

Everyone can probably imagine this result. After all, Earl Hei did not find any trace of the wood spirit. Kael is just an apprentice, and the possibility of finding the wood spirit is very slim.

However, although this result is not unexpected, if the wood spirit is really here and already knows the location of the wood spirit, but still can't find it, then this is really terrible.

This kind of concealment ability is simply miraculous... It is also worthy of admiration for the coward's self-cultivation to reach this level.

There was no way to get news from Kael, and Doakes couldn't count on Angor, whose eyes were still closed, so he could only focus on the wise master.

It's just that the wise master didn't mean to speak at all, and all eyes were focused on Angel.

As far as the wise ruler is concerned, he doesn't know whether the wood spirit is nearby or not.But what he knew was that Angel's position at this moment was quite special.

This is the center that the goddess left here.

Before, Angel broke open the oil painting that the goddess left here. At that time, he could still use the oil painting as a reason.But now, what reason does he have to use to explain that he just stepped into the center?

The wise master has already begun to guess in his heart, what is the relationship between Angel and the goddess? Is he here for the goddess?

If so, are he and the goddess friend or foe?
The wise man had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but what he didn't know was that his speculation was actually wrong from the beginning.

Angel has nothing to do with the so-called Goddess, and even Angel doesn't know who the Goddess is.The reason why he came to this branch road was not a temporary decision. When he came back from the left branch road, he had already begun to delineate the possible location of the wood spirit in his mind.

At that time, Angel had two ranges in mind. The first range was the end of the road on the right, that is, the room with the vine sculpture.Because at that time, there were two coordinates that resonated with the cane, one was in the void on the left, and the other was in the room at the end of the right.The void on the left has been determined, and it is a very dangerous place. Wood spirits cannot go to the left no matter what, so only the coordinates of the right are left.

However, after Angel went to the room at the end of the right road, he didn't find the wood spirit, only the vine sculpture that the wood spirit left there.

At that time, Angel already understood that the one that resonated with the cane was probably the sculpture of vines.

Since the coordinates of the left and right roads are both wrong, Angel can almost be sure that the wood spirit's location must be in the second range.

And the second range is near this fork.
