Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3162 Doubt
What Angel was thinking was naturally still related to Xiao Ke's haunted house.

After he entered, he always wondered why there must be a process of 'finding a safe house'?

In Angel's view, if there must be a process of "finding a safe house", then the safe house will most likely be hidden very deep and difficult to find, which is a negative characteristic. ——This is the commonality of many powerful alchemy works, semi-mysterious objects, and even some mysterious objects.

In other words, it is a restriction, a price.

Such restrictions and costs are countless in the extraordinary world.Just like the "red sword" in Doakes's hand now, he specially found a famous alchemist to refine it. When refining it, the other party gave him three choices: either have a sharp edge with the limit Sharp and nimble, but the sword body is relatively fragile; or it has the ultimate blood bearing power, but the sword body is relatively heavy; or it is extremely sharp and blood bearing power, but neither is outstanding.

In the end Doakes chose the second option.

When you want to hit a certain limit, you pay the price elsewhere.It's like a scale, when one side is pressed down, the other side will be tilted up.

Of course, it's not impossible to do both well, and both are the limit, but the test is for the refiner.And even if both are good, it doesn't mean that there is no price, but this price may not be put on the bright side.

For example, expensive materials and a high level of blending are also a price.

In addition to the example of the red sword, there are similar costs in the mysterious things... However, this is not a problem with the refiner, but this price itself is a part of the mysterious things.

Just like "Dark Movement", it will force you to give birth to a second personality, but the second personality must be evil, and you will lose your name.

Or the "Master Key", which can open all locks; however, the more you use it, the harder it is for someone to knock on your heart.

There is also the "seed of death". If you want to be blessed by luck, you must go through a catastrophe of facing death.

The latter two are the price.In other words, it is human beings who evaluate the price from their own perspective—beneficial to human beings is the positive effect and effect; unfavorable to human beings is the price.

Therefore, it is normal for Xiao Ke's haunted house to be restricted.

——you have to go over mountains, exhaust your energy, and go through a lot of hardships to find the safe house.

If this is the case above, Angel will not be surprised.

Restriction, it is normal to spend a little more effort and time.

But this is not the case. From the current point of view, the restriction of Xiao Ke's haunted house: it is the maximum limit of the daily mirror ghost's attack and sense of time, not the search for a safe house.

Because finding a safe house is too easy.

The safe house this time is already hard to find, but it only took a few minutes; while the safe house in other environments before, like a grand castle, is simply a clear sign in front of you, and you don’t even need to look for it.

That being the case, why set up a process of finding a safe house?
This question, perhaps in the eyes of Luigi, Barbaregon and others, is a very boring question.

But in Angor's view, this is actually very strange.

Finding a safe house is an "overkill" activity.

Obviously you can go directly to the safe house after entering, but you have to go through a process to find the safe house. Isn't this superfluous?

If this haunted house was made by human beings, it might be a flaw of the refiner; but this haunted house was born "naturally", and it seems to Angel that it is very puzzling to design such an unnecessary link.

In the extraordinary world, many things that you find inexplicable are often linked to a situation, and that is: rituals.

Therefore, what Angel is thinking at this time is, is the process of finding a safe house a ritual?
However, Angel thought about it deeply and shook his head.This is a conjecture that cannot be confirmed or falsified. At present, there is really no trace of rituals... Besides, will there be rituals for semi-mysterious things that are naturally born?Natural ritual?

Putting aside the speculation about the ceremony for the time being, there is another possibility that Angel can think of: the probability of finding a safe house is to simulate Xiao Ke's situation at the time, and he fled into the safe house in a panic.

After all, the birth of the haunted house is closely related to Xiao Ke, and it seems possible to simulate his search process.

However, this is also difficult to prove.

When Angel was thinking about it, something suddenly occurred to him: Luigi seemed to have mentioned before that there would be Xiao Ke's diary in the haunted house?
Xiao Ke's diary can't bring out the haunted house, but will appear in the corresponding safe house as the environment of each haunted house changes.Sometimes it is on the bookshelf of the castle, sometimes it is on the table of the tree house, and sometimes it is dropped on the ground of the amusement park...

According to this rule, Xiao Ke's diary should also appear in this cellar, right?Maybe from the diary, we can find the record of Xiao Ke before he escaped into the secret room?

Thinking of this, Angel raised his head and looked around every part of the cellar.

But after looking around, Xiao Ke's diary was not found.

The cellar was the same as when I first saw it, it was empty and there was nothing around.

Angel believes that Luigi should not lie about this kind of thing, so there is a high probability that Xiao Ke's diary still exists, but he has not found it.

Perhaps there is a hidden space in this cellar, or a hidden storage place?And Xiao Ke's diary is in the hidden place?

With this in mind, Angel released the tentacles of mental power... However, it was useless.

The tentacles of spiritual power can reach out, but the surroundings are full of rich and constantly flowing mysterious charm. When the tentacles of spiritual power reach out, it feels like entering a mud or sandpit. It can move, but the surroundings are full of dense substances. Want to Finding the hidden space in this situation is difficult.

Not only mental power is like this, but other spells are also the same. Although it can be released, the perception ability is obviously weaker.

The only thing that is not affected is the nightmare magic, but the nightmare magic can't invade the surrounding walls and ground that have been infected by the rainbow light.

In the absence of perception, it is better to stand up and walk around by yourself, and use your hands and feet to measure the hidden space.

Angel is not a person who hesitates, if he thinks about it, he will do it.

Anyway, the mirror ghost hadn't come yet, Angel stood up, walked into the illusion, and searched for possible hiding places in the cellar.

Luigi was immersed in the "priest's dream" at this time, and there was no need to worry about disturbing him because there was an illusion to isolate the sound.

While walking, Angel took out his cane and tapped the ground to determine whether there was a hidden space through the echo of the sound.

Soon, ten hours passed.

Angel searched all the bricks in the middle, but found nothing unusual.

Now, he began to knock on the wall of the cellar, and he was more careful than before... Generally speaking, the probability of a hidden space appearing on the wall is higher than that on the ground.

This percussion lasts for six hours.

Although Xiao Ke's diary was still not found, today's mirror ghost attack came.

The mirror ghost that appeared in the first wave was a non-human creature, more like a stick with wings.

If it were smaller and thinner, its color changed from black to pink and tender, and there was a heart on top, then it would be very similar to the magic wand used by the magical girl in the storybook.

Angel didn't know the name of this mirror ghost, so let's call it the "magic wand ghost".

As Luigi said, the first few waves of mirror ghosts were very weak.This is the case with the wand ghost. Apart from being able to fly and using the wand to release some negative energy attacks, it has no other extraordinary abilities.

According to Angel's estimate, it might be at the level of the initial level of a second-level apprentice?

Under normal circumstances, the second-level apprentice would definitely not be able to kill the wand ghost, but the wand ghost could not do anything to the second-level apprentice.

Weak enough... as soon as it enters the misty illusion, it will fly around anxiously; once it flies around, it will become more confused.

Angel didn't even control the illusion, it was firmly under control.

There is nothing to say about the strength of the wand ghost, but the way it came out is quite interesting.It came unexpectedly, and it didn't come in through the door, but drilled down from the ceiling above the head.

It can also be seen from this that it was useless for Angel to set up an illusion on the steps at the door.

The way they come in, is not the normal way at all.

What Angel is curious about now is whether the wand ghost is a member of the mirror ghosts outside. When the time is about, it is pulled to the cellar by the invisible force in the haunted house?
There is still no answer to this question. After all, it is impossible for Angel to go out and count the number of mirror ghosts.

However, Angel specifically went to the ceiling where the wand ghost first appeared, and wanted to see if there was a hidden space on the ceiling...

The answer is: no.

Angel was not discouraged, anyway, he still had time.Moreover, the first wave of mirror ghosts appeared at No. 16 hours. According to the rule of one wave per day, he will have at least eight hours to worry about the problem of mirror ghosts.

Thinking of this, Angel picked up his cane and started hitting the wall again.

The knocking sound of "dongdongdong" echoed in the cellar, and every knocking sound was dull, which meant that he hadn't found a hiding space until now.

This is also impossible, the cellar is too big, and when the next day came, Angel had only knocked on half of the wall.

By the time he finished knocking on the walls around the cellar, there were only fourteen hours left before the third day.

It is a pity that there is still no hidden space on the surrounding walls.

Angel could only look at the ceiling above.

Shouldn't the hidden space be on the ceiling?Angel personally thinks that the possibility is a little low. If there is really a hiding space in the ceiling, then the hiding place is too weird?

Besides, Xiao Ke's diary isn't that hard to find in the previous haunted house in other backgrounds, is it?
Although he didn't quite believe that there would be a hidden space in the ceiling, Angel decided to give it a try. He released his magic hand, still holding the cane, and struck every inch of the ceiling.

The knocking process was still the same, not worth mentioning. The only thing that can be said was that, two hours before the third day, the mirror ghost from the second day finally appeared.

This time there are three mirror ghosts.

They drilled out from three different walls. The first one came was a dark human-shaped mirror ghost. Although it was human-shaped, it couldn't see the face clearly. It was completely dark, and there was no gap in the eyes and mouth. , like a shadow constructed entirely of darkness.

As soon as the human-shaped mirror ghost appeared, it lay on the ground, walking on all fours, like a wild beast.

His movements are extremely fast, his figure is nimble, and he can easily levitate and stick to the walls, as if he has escaped the shackles of gravity.

However, Angel didn't see any powerful ability he released. Perhaps, his ability will only be released after meeting someone?
But it's a pity that as soon as he entered the cellar, he was surrounded by surging fog. No matter how agile he was, he was just like a hamster running on a hamster wheel. He was fast, but he was completely standing still.

And the second mirror ghost and the third mirror ghost appeared together, copied from the left and right walls.

Their appearance is more like ghosts in human imagination, floating in mid-air, with a "big sheet" on their heads, covering their entire bodies.

However, one was covered with a black sheet and the other was covered with a white sheet, and their heads had obvious protrusions, which seemed to be horns.

Just one corner to the right and one corner to the left.

Angel still doesn't know this kind of mirror ghost, so he can only call it "sheet ghost".

The two sheet ghosts are not strong, and the energy fluctuations emitted from their bodies are even weaker than that of the wand ghost, but Angel has an inexplicable feeling that these two sheet ghosts may be able to "fit together"?
One white and one black, and the top corners of the head are deliberately left and right, which are complementary no matter how you look at it.

If you want to be flawless, you can only fit together.

Angel didn't know if his guess was correct, but if the two sheet ghosts really fit together, maybe their strength would not be as weak as it is now.

It's a pity... When they came in, they were on the left and right sides of the cellar, and the fog easily surrounded them, so there was no need to worry about them meeting.

The second wave of mirror ghosts is still not strong in general.

However, Angel did not take it lightly. Although the second wave of mirror ghosts is not strong, they already belong to the "potential" mirror ghosts.

According to this law, the third wave of mirror ghosts may be the mirror ghosts that truly stimulate their potential.

Moreover, there was only one wand ghost in the first wave, but three mirror ghosts appeared in the second wave, so the third wave will increase the number again, right?

If this is the case, then be more cautious.

Angel thought for a while, and released some illusion nodes. After confirming that there was a faint mist everywhere from the ceiling to the ground, he stopped.

For the next time, Angel still didn't care about the mirror ghost trapped in the mist, but continued to pick up his cane and tap on the ceiling.

The sense of time is still extending, and the third day arrives as scheduled.

Luigi said before that he might finish learning "The Confession of the Black Sheep" in half a day, and now it is certain that this is a bragging.

However, I have to say that the "Black Sheep Confession Song" he played today is obviously much more emotional than the previous two days.

Infection has also risen to a large level.

Angel even felt that if this "Black Sheep Confession Song" really suits Uriel's taste, with Luigi's current level, it is not impossible to get the top three seats.

Luigi's progress is obvious, but Angor's progress is... zero.
