Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2784 A Little Red Flower
Laplace: "The first memory I saw related to the panic world was a memory reflected by a bloody light."

Doakes froze for a moment: "The memory reflected by the blood light?... Blood light?"

Laplace didn't want to answer Doakes's words at first, but seeing Angor's eyes with doubts, he pondered for a moment, and explained the reason a little bit: "This involves the rules of the Sea of ​​Mirrors..."

The rules in the sea of ​​empty mirrors can be roughly divided into: birth and death.

Life represents the memories reflected by all the "mirror surfaces".The ubiquitous plane and the countless worlds, as long as there is a "mirror", the pictures recorded in it can flow to the sea of ​​empty mirrors in the form of "memory".

This kind of mirror can be a water surface, a glazed surface, or even a distorted surface reflected by firelight. As long as it can reflect an image, it can be accommodated by the sea of ​​empty mirrors.Among them, the picture reflected by the water surface is the clearest and longest; the picture reflected by the light is the shortest.

The bloody light belongs to the latter. It may be the reflection of some sharp weapon during the battle, but it is only for a moment, but it is still recorded by the sea of ​​empty mirrors.

The above is life.

If you just say "life", it seems that as long as you stay near the "mirror", you will have no privacy.

But it is not, for two reasons.

First, the sea of ​​empty mirrors is quite large. Even though many places are broken, it still connects countless worlds with mirrors.

What you do in front of the mirror may flow into the distant sea of ​​empty mirrors, or flow directly into the broken sea of ​​empty mirrors, dissipating as foam.

Second, in the rules of the Sea of ​​Empty Mirrors, in addition to "life", don't forget that there is also "destruction"!
The so-called "destruction" is to fundamentally "destroy" the memories that flowed into the sea of ​​empty mirrors from the outside world.

This is like the world of Quest. Every once in a while, there will be a tide of souls, which will bring the remnants and undead left in the world of the living into the world of the dead.

This is a rule, a rule under the great will.

The Sea of ​​Empty Mirrors also has such rules, but the Sea of ​​Empty Mirrors will be more brutal.The soul tide, at least, will give other intelligent souls besides the undead a certain right to choose. They can go to the world of Quest or stay in the world of the living.

But the sea of ​​empty mirrors can't do it. The surges and tides it overturns will directly wipe out all the memories within the range.

And the tide of the sea of ​​empty mirrors... is everywhere and everywhere.

In other words, many memories that flowed into the sea of ​​empty mirrors from the outside world might not be able to stay for even a second, and they would just dissipate.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about "privacy" at all.

Even if you are posing in front of the mirror, to the sea of ​​empty mirrors, you are treated equally.

What's more, if a living person enters the sea of ​​empty mirrors, he will only become a "hollow person" without memory. If Zhenyi accidentally sees some memories, he will forget them after a while.

And there are countless "creatures in the mirror" in the sea of ​​empty mirrors, and not many are interested in human memory.

Laplace can be said to be an exception.

But if you really want to look closely, Laplace is not interested in human memory, she just reads whatever memory she has, neither sad nor happy with things.The only thing that made her care a little bit was the shadow memory in the two sides of Mu Shen.

But even if she cared a little bit, she said she would send it directly.It can also be seen from this that she doesn't care about gains and losses at all.

Closer to home, because the memory reflected in the sea of ​​empty mirrors is not limited to the front of the mirror, so the "blood light" she mentioned can still record the picture... even if it is only for a moment.

The picture recorded by the blood light flowed into the sea of ​​empty mirrors, and was captured by Laplace before it was washed away by the tide.

That's all context.

After a rough explanation, Laplace continued: "The picture reflected in the blood light is a girl kneeling on the top of a mountain of corpses."

While talking, Laplace stretched out his fair fingers and tapped the mirror in front of him.

In an instant, the mirror surface seemed to turn into a light screen produced by the Sky Machinery City, laying a panoramic picture of light and shadow.

The upper part of the picture is the sky dyed red, and a huge vortex blood cloud is constantly circling.

In the lower part of the picture, the background is a dark forest and distant rolling mountains.Nearby, there are countless corpses, some of these corpses are human-like, some are monster-like, they are all fresh corpses, and there is a stream of blood flowing on the ground.

In the very center of these piles of corpses, there is a "hill" that is completely piled up with corpses. At the top of the hill, a girl kneels on top of the corpses, looking around blankly.Beside her, there was a blood-stained sword stuck in the corpse.

The girl was crying, and the expression on her face was full of grief, as if she had encountered the most painful thing in the world.

And above the girl's head was the swirling blood cloud.

This is a picture with a sense of story. Although it is impossible to know what stories are in it, and who is the dead person, but the strong sad atmosphere conveyed from the picture can be perceived by everyone arrive.

"Is she... a demon? An awakened demon? Or, a bee-wing man?" Doakes asked.

And this question is also the doubt of everyone.

Among the other dead people in the picture, you can see the butterfly wing man, the bee wing man and the cicada wing man, as well as the demon man and the awakened demon man, but this living girl is different.

She has obvious bee wing features: there are thin transparent bee wings under the arms.

But she also has the characteristics of an awakened demon. In her unkempt black long hair, there is an inconspicuous little red flower.

Five small red round petals with golden stamens in the middle and green stalks connected to her skull.

This little red flower is the most obvious feature of an awakened demon.

But the awakened demons will hardly maintain their human form, they are cruel, evil, bloodthirsty... let alone show such a sad expression.

Therefore, this girl has a very strange sense of contrast.Especially when the little red flower is swaying in the wind, and she is crying silently, the contrast is extreme.

"A rational awakened demon?" Angel thought for a moment and said.

Doakes: "Are awakened demons sane? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Wai said angrily: "We just saw a picture of a butterfly-winged man and an awakened demon living in harmony. Now there is a rational awakened demon. Isn't that very logical?"

Doakes: "But the mural doesn't show that the Awakened Demon is rational? Maybe it's the Butterfly Man who controls the Awakened Demon in some way, just like Angel can also control the Elmi."

When Wei heard it, it seemed that there was some truth, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.

At this moment, Angel looked at Laplace behind the mirror and asked softly, "Is this the awakened devil?"

Laplace did not reply, but reached out his hand and tapped the mirror again.

The picture changed instantly, but the background remained the same, but the corpses on the ground disappeared, but there were many more living people around. If you look carefully, you will find that these living people are actually the previous corpses.

In other words, the current picture is actually the picture when they were alive.

These people who are about to die, they are angry, fearful, resolute, desperate... All emotions are all directed in one direction.

——A pure white demon under the swirling blood cloud.

This monster has an extremely flawless pure white shell, and its streamlined body is both beautiful and powerful.It stands tall, with a pair of white wings behind it.

Just like the legendary Xuelong, but more elegant and flawless than Xuelong.

But the face of such a flawless body is full of ferocity and brutality, even the pale golden eyes are full of violence.

These cruel emotions are all aimed at the living people around them and... the same kind, awakened demons.

These are just the expressiveness of the picture, but the detail that shocked everyone the most was the little red flower on the top of the pure white demon's head.

The same little red flower as in the previous picture.Because of the different body shape, this little red flower looks even smaller and more inconspicuous.

But it was such an inconspicuous little red flower that made everyone's expressions change suddenly.

"Is it the girl from before?" Angel asked.

Laplace nodded: "Yes. The form of the demon comes first, and the form of human follows."

That is to say, one second she was still an awakened demon, but the next second, she turned back into a bee-winged man.It is not right to say that she is a pure bee-winged person, she still retains the characteristics of an awakened demon, but her memory may have recovered, and her sanity has also recovered, otherwise it would not be possible to cry so mournfully.

"Will the awakened demon wake up one day?" Doakes hadn't recovered from the news, but murmured in a low voice.

Wai next to him: "Maybe?"

Doakes let out a long sigh: "That's really... a tragedy."

Yes, tragedy.

Even if they are not from the panic world, but just watching as spectators, they can all think of what a tragic human tragedy this is.

From ancient times to the present, the human beings in the panic world—let’s call the aborigines in the panic world “human beings” for the time being—have been shrouded in the gloom of demons.

They are like beasts in the forest, facing the monster, they can only tremble, praying that the monster is full and can let them go.

Days like this, year after year, day after day, finally one day, someone who can resist the demon appeared.

However, when the person who resisted the demon was applauded and honored by everyone, he didn't know that he had opened Pandora's box.

He taught humans how to use the flesh and blood of demons to obtain their power and become demons.

In order to defeat the monsters, batches of demons were born.

At the beginning, it was really effective, but when the first demon used more energy than the limit and became an awakened demon, the direction of things began to be out of control.

Awakened demons are more terrifying than monsters. They have completely lost human emotions, and they have become a new generation of monsters. They kill, they are ruthless, they don't like to eat animals, they only eat humans.

From this day on, the demons, although they are still the guardians of every city, are also put in shackles.From a hero admired by everyone, to a monster that can't be avoided.

But in order to prevent more human beings from dying under the attack of monsters, the demons are still fighting on the front line. They are lonely guardians, and they are also lone fighters, so they are looking for a little inner heart in the battle with monsters every day. Peace...until awakening, or death.

Awakening the devil is the most terrifying ending, but it is also the fate of the devil.The more they fight against powerful monsters, the more they have to use power beyond the limit.

After the devil awakens, the former guardian has become a nightmare for all human beings.They kill, they devour, even if they meet former acquaintances, it will not affect the efficiency of the awakened demon's devouring.They have no distinction between acquaintances and strangers. In their eyes, they are all food.

So far, this is the story of the awakened demon known to the wizarding world in the Southern Region.

So far the story is fine.

However, the ending of the story is far more than that.

When the awakened devil has the opportunity to meet human beings again, possessing reason and emotion, what kind of situation will it be?
This was illustrated in the first picture Laplace showed them.

Unspeakable grief, the sadness that can flow out of the picture.

Just imagine, the girl in the picture regained her intelligence. She should be happy, but what would she think when she found the corpses around her?
Among these corpses, the girl saw her former companions, her relatives, and her former lover.

What would she think?
When the memory of the awakened demon recovered, she found that she had killed her companions, her lover, and devoured her parents who gave birth to her bit by bit.

What would she think?
Everyone doesn't know, and it's hard to empathize with them. The only thing they know is to sigh as a bystander: "This is really... a tragedy."

……

The gloomy atmosphere spread for a long time, and finally it was Laplace behind the prism who broke the silence.

Laplace's eyes were still on Angel: "You are right, this is the second awakening of the awakened demon."

"The second awakening will bring them back to their senses?" Angel asked.

Although the second awakening seems to be not bad, but from a certain point of view, it may not be good.It may be better to let him live a life of ignorance than to face the cruel truth after waking up.

However, these factors are not considered for the time being.Although Angel sympathizes with the demons in the panic world, it is unnecessary to worry about others after countless time intervals.

But... Earl's fan is around, and Earl's fan has already shown some emotional signs, Angel still needs to listen carefully to what Laplace said.

"Maybe, maybe not." Laplace: "What I see is just a flash of memory, and what I can interpret is only what I see from my memory."

After a pause, Laplace said suddenly: "However, you wizards should know this information better than me."

Angel frowned, didn't he already tell the information he knew?

Laplace: "I have received two memories from the panic world. You have seen the first memory. The second memory... I saw several wizard cities rising in the panic world. rise."

"Wizard's city?!" Doakes exclaimed.

You know, there are not many wizard cities in the abyss, most of them are just outposts.There is a wizard city in the world of panic, this is really the first time I know it!
"A city with wizards means that there are wizards stationed all year round, and it means that wizards have studied awakened demons..." Angel muttered silently: "The most important thing is that the world of panic is not barren. It has wizards. resources needed!"

Previously, everyone's cognition, the panic world was very barren.The same is true for Earl Hei. Even though Earl Hei told them to look at the problem dialectically and not to trust public opinion, Earl Hei did not deny that the panic world is barren.

But now it seems that they were all wrong.

The panic world isn't poor, it's even rich in resources!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to set up a wizard city in the panic world with the character of wizards who have no benefits and can't afford to be early!

You must know that the panic world is a powerful world comparable to the wizard world. This world is full of dangers, and it is very far away from the wizard world.Under the premise of the above multiple obstacles, if there is no great benefit, how could wizards spend time and energy building a wizard city!

Now they understood why Laplace would say that sentence——

"Humans always claim to be very smart, but in fact, when prejudice is deeply rooted, they are often unaware of it."

Because from the moment Angel spoke, she knew that Angel's information was fundamentally wrong.

The intelligence of Angel and others is based on the barrenness of the panic world. In fact, everything is the opposite.

They were blinded, even the Black Earl was blinded.

Was this done by the Frost Moon Alliance?

Or, there is a deeper reason for this, some people don't want them to know the information of the panic world.
