Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3161 Experience
"Time waits for no one, let's go to the haunted house now." Luigi looked at Angel.

Angel would naturally not refuse, but Barbaregon was very puzzled and asked curiously: "You said you were short on time because you were going to attend the party in Crystal City. Then why don't you go to the party first and then come to the haunted house? "

In this way, time will not be tight.

Luigi: "There must be a reason... However, it's still a long story. After I come out, I will tell you when I have time. Or, you will go to the party with us when the time comes, and we will talk while walking."

Babaregong put aside the main head and the two deputy heads, and snorted coldly: "I'm not going."

Luigi shrugged: "You don't want to go, anyway, if you go, I will tell you by the way, if you don't go, I will tell you when I come next time. Now, you activate the haunted house first."

Barbaregon let out a cry, and the master muttered childishly: "You are the one who begged me, but you gave me an order, hmph. Besides, it's not like you can't activate a haunted house. If you insist on me, it's a waste of my money." Aggregation energy..."

Whispering, but the movement didn't stop. Barbaregon's right deputy head suddenly woke up from deep sleep, raised the triangular thief, and projected a light arrow full of concentrated energy from his eyes.

After the light arrow fell into the spar, the spar slowly floated up in the twinkling, and expanded rapidly, and it didn't take long for it to expand to the point of three meters long and three meters wide.

"It's almost there." Barbaregon murmured, and withdrew his light arrow.

With the recovery of the light arrow, the spar stopped flickering and was completely frozen in midair.At the same time, a crack appeared on the surface of the pitch-black spar, and the crack was slowly extending, forming a door in a short while.

click-

The door on the spar was pushed open by Luigi, and the inside was also pitch black, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.

Luigi entered the door without hesitation, and was instantly engulfed in darkness.

Angel nodded slightly to Barbaregon, and followed Luigi into the gate.

When Angel's figure disappeared into the darkness, the spar's gate slowly closed.

Barbaregón kept staring at the spar until black mist began to slowly escape from the spar, then it turned and left, walking towards the nearby laboratory...

On the other side, Angel found that he did not come to the so-called 'haunted house', but stood on a pitch-black land.

Luigi was also nearby at this time, but he didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, but took out the score of "The Confession of the Black Sheep" and his most precious harp from the space.

Angel looked around, but there was nothing around.The visible range is only tens of meters, and the distance is shrouded in dark mist.

On the top of the head is a hemispherical mirror mask.

The mask emits a faint light, illuminating the land.

However, at this moment, the mirror mask has cracked lines, and the cracks are spreading rapidly. It seems that something outside the mask is constantly impacting it.

"What's going on here?" Angel looked at Luigi suspiciously, wasn't it the promised haunted house?
Luigi walked over holding the harp: "There are mirror ghosts outside. What we need to do now is to find the haunted house and hide in it before the mirror ghost breaks through the light barrier."

"???" Angel frowned, looking puzzled.Haunted house... still need to find?

Luigi: "To be precise, this is the haunted house. What we are looking for is the 'safe house'."

"Every time you enter Xiao Ke's haunted house, different scenes will be simulated. These scenes are all simulated ghosts in the mirror, probably some memories of Xiao Ke's life?"

"And in different haunted house scenes, there will be different safe houses." Luigi: "According to what Barbaregon told me, safe houses look like grand castles, forest cabins, and the middle island of an amusement park. pavilion……"

Angel frowned: "Then where is the safe house here?"

Luigi shrugged: "I don't know, I've never been in, I just heard..."

So, they still have to find out where the safe house is.

As for how to find the safe house, Luigi also gave the answer: "The safe house must be a room, or a closed space where people can hide; also, the safe house must be inside the mirror mask; finally, inside and outside the safe house, there are There is an obvious gap in time sense. As long as these three characteristics are clarified, the safe house will definitely not be wrong."

After Luigi finished speaking, he comforted him: "Don't worry, the safe house is easy to find. Anyone who has used the haunted house will definitely be able to find the safe house."

Angel didn't answer, but said indifferently: "I'll look to the left, you look to the right."

After they separated, they searched for hidden safe houses in different directions.

Facts have proved that what Luigi said is correct, the safe house is indeed not difficult to find, and the release of mental power is not prohibited here. In less than a minute, Angel saw the hidden entrance.

It is located near the mist on the left and is a cellar.

The entrance to the cellar was covered by pitch-black wooden boards, and because the color of the boards was very similar to the color of the surrounding earth, it was not discovered immediately.

After uncovering the board, a downward ladder was revealed.

The stairs lead directly to the cellar. There is a layer of light film at the entrance of the cellar, which can be seen with the naked eye. There are some rainbow light spots surging on the light film.

Angel had seen a similar rainbow light on Akers before.

There is no doubt that this light film should contain the power of time.

Angor curiously stretched out the tentacles of mental power, wanting to study the light film, but when the tentacles of spiritual power touched the light film, it was as if they had touched a glass barrier, and they couldn't go deep at all.

On the contrary, Angel stretched out his hand, but he was able to easily break through the light film.

But during this process, he didn't feel any abnormality for research.

While Angor was curiously observing the light film, Luigi walked down the stairs: "You don't need to study the power of time here, it's just an appearance."

Angel frowned: "Appearance?"

Luigi nodded: "The real power of time is scattered everywhere in the haunted house. It is invisible, ubiquitous, and untouchable. The rainbow light film seen here is just a kind of The manifested appearance, you can understand it as an illusion."

In other words, there must be some kind of time-related power in the haunted house, but it is fused with the mysterious power to form the main body of the haunted house.

If you want to study the power of time in a haunted house, you can't just study the surface. You must turn the haunted house upside down, otherwise it will be difficult to find the power of time in it.

And even if the hidden time power is found, it may not be able to research anything.

this is the truth.

The power of time is not so easy to touch.What's more, it is the time power related to mystery.

"If you continue to plan to research, you can enter the safe house and set up the illusion before doing research." Luigi looked at Angel.

Angor spread his hands, expressing his abandonment.

He really wants to research, but he also knows very well that with his current background, he will definitely not be able to research anything... Moreover, there are only two hours outside and three days in the haunted house to do research, and in terms of time, it is not enough to do research what.

Luigi: "Let's go in then, shall we begin?"

"Okay." Angel just finished speaking, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Did the mirror ghost's attack directly enter the safe house, or will they enter the safe house through this ladder?"

After hearing Angel's words, Luigi understood what he meant: "You want to set up illusions outside and restrict them from entering the safe house?"

Angel nodded without denying it.

Luigi thought for a while and replied: "I don't know if this is feasible or not, but according to Barbaregon, after the mirror mask above the head is destroyed, the mirror ghosts will indeed cover the entire land. But it seems that the real attack There are only a small number of mirror ghosts in the safe house, but whether they fly into the safe house through the stairs or directly appear in the safe house is unknown."

"No matter which one it is, if you set up an illusion outside, there are actually quite serious disadvantages, and it is very likely to attract more mirror ghosts to pay attention to this place."

"It's better to honestly set up illusions in the safe house."

Angel thought about it carefully, and felt that this was the reason. It was not necessary to do research on haunted houses, and there was no need to do this experiment.

Thinking of this, he didn't think too much, followed Luigi through the light film, and walked into the cellar space.

As soon as he entered the cellar, Angel immediately felt the familiar mysterious aura...or in other words, a more intense mysterious charm.

It filled the entire cellar and lingered around them.

There is no need for any expressions or reminders from others, just surrounded by mysterious charm, people who enter this room immediately understand the function of this cellar.

The extension of the sense of time...

In this cellar, an hour can serve as 36 hours.

Two hours in the cellar is equal to three days outside.

This is the same effect as Luigi said. However, Luigi has always emphasized that this is a time extension. Although the effect is similar to the change of time flow, the result is not the same.

However, Luigi didn't explain it at the time, he just said that he knew it after he went there.

Now surrounded by mysterious charm, Angel finally understands.

Indeed, there is a difference between the change of time sense and the change of time velocity.

Timing is just an experience, similar to simulating changes in the flow of time.

For example, if the real flow of time is changed, then you can deal with anything here, whether mental or physical, and there will be no physical burden when you leave.

But the sense of time changes, but it is different.

It’s just that when the sense of time changes, you need a very powerful and well-loaded brain when dealing with mental work here. Otherwise, you can finish the work of more than 30 days in only one day, and the brain is likely to be overloaded and shut down. .

For Angel or Luigi, this is not a serious negative effect, because they have a strong base of computing power; moreover, Luigi does not need to consume computing power this time, he is here to borrow With this sense of time, practice "Black Sheep Confession" to strengthen muscle memory, and will not be affected by negative effects.

But for ordinary people, whether it is mental or physical strength, they may not be able to keep up, and it is likely to lead to mental and physical exhaustion.

Of course, if it is used for a short period of time, such as just an hour or two, then it doesn't matter.

In a sense, this change in time sense is somewhat similar to the general environment of Tomorrow Town, where a day in Tomorrow Town sometimes equals dozens of days.However, Tomorrow Town is a manifestation of power and a product of rules, and it is not a real change in time sense, but allows the dungeon player to accelerate the time change around them without doing anything.

The surrounding time changes quickly, and the player's sense of time is normal, so Tomorrow Town does not have much side effects.

Judging from just changing the sense of time, Xiao Ke's haunted house is indeed not up to the standard of mysterious things.

As far as Angel knows, some mysterious things are actually changing the flow of time, and even restarting time within a certain range.For example, the City of Reincarnation in the Temple of the Prophet.

Perhaps, Xiao Ke's haunted house is promoted to a mysterious object, so that there is a way to truly change the flow of time, but this is too difficult.

It sounds like there is only one step between the semi-mysterious thing and the real mysterious thing, but in reality that step is separated by a barrier that is invisible to the naked eye.

While feeling emotional, Angel did not forget the work in hand.

Illusion nodes were quickly arranged around, on the one hand to create an illusion for Luigi that fits "The Confession of the Black Sheep", and on the other hand to create an illusion that traps the mirror ghost.

It is worth mentioning that although there is nothing in this cellar, its area is quite large, comparable to a small square.

Luigi came to the very center of the cellar and began to immerse himself in "The Confession of the Black Sheep".

Angel set up illusions beside him.

It didn't take long for Angel to arrange the illusion.

To trap the mirror ghost's illusion, Angel still chose a fog-like illusion, which blurred perception and made it impossible for the mirror ghost to go any further.Moreover, the Misty Illusion is also relatively simple, and it can be set up quickly.

The illusion arranged for Luigi is much more difficult than the misty illusion.

Because Angel is no longer arranging illusions, but arranging a story that combines the background of "The Confession of the Black Sheep". The desperate situation of the performance was all restored.

It sounds like a shadow box, and it is indeed similar to a shadow box... But going further, Angel also painstakingly created emotional nodes that change perceptions and forcibly resonate in the illusion, so that Luigi can feel more deeply the emotions in the story. experience of a priest.

Even if Luigi temporarily abandons himself, he can fully enter the priest's heart and become a priest himself.

This is not available in other shadow boxes.

It is also unique to Angor, using the art of nightmares to manipulate perception and emotions.

On Luigi's side, it soon "entered the show".

After Luigi entered the play, he was completely immersed in the illusion, and the only thing he didn't forget was plucking the strings.

And Angel sat near Luigi, meditating silently while waiting for the arrival of the mirror ghost.
