Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3505 Blurred Image

However, it is precisely because Ghost Rider's attitude towards Bubbles is too friendly.

There is a filter that allows Paopao to view Ghost Rider, which is not objective enough.

In Bubble's eyes, Ghost Rider is a good and gentle person; but in the eyes of others, there may be another answer.

"What about you?" Gleipnir looked at Edward: "You have been talking about Bubble's perspective. I want to know from your perspective, what kind of person is the Ghost Rider?"

This time, Edward was completely silent before he said, "I have had too little exposure to Ghost Rider, so it's hard for me to evaluate it. If I had to say it, I think Ghost Rider feels a bit... vague to me. .”

"Blurry?" Gleipnir did not expect Edward to give such a strange answer: "Why is it blurry? Where is it blurry?"

Edward shrugged: "I don't know either. I just think that Ghost Rider is not very real in my eyes. It's like there is a layer of veil between him and I can't see clearly."

As for why he had such thoughts, Edward thought about it carefully and felt that it was most likely because he had seen the Ghost Rider too few times.

In hundreds of years, Edward had only seen it from a distance a few times.

The only time he had close contact was when he was taken to the castle by Bubble. Ghost Rider registered his character and asked him a few questions up close.

But even that close encounter seemed vague to Edward.

He has never seen the true face of Ghost Rider.

The Ghost Rider has been wearing the shell of the knight's armor, and the helmet is also tightly worn. His voice comes out of the helmet, and there is a kind of echo like a clanking sound.

Not quite real.

It's like the sound quality of a gramophone, full of ancient and cold inorganic sounds.

Anyway, in Edward's own memories, he would always secretly guess: Is there really a soul under that exquisite-looking knight's armor?

Could the so-called Ghost Rider be just a gramophone?

Or, just a puppet on strings.

In fact, there is no Ghost Rider at all, is everything just their fantasy?Or is Ghost Rider actually the mastermind behind a secret place?

"However, this is probably just because I haven't had much contact with Ghost Rider, so I have a sense of isolation." Edward: "As for Bubbles, who has been exposed to Ghost Riders all year round, I feel that even though Bubbles will be interested in Ghost Riders, There is a filter, but its answer may be more like a normal person’s perspective.”

"That's why I chose to talk about bubbles first."

Gleipnir nodded slightly, she probably...understood.

The reason why Edward feels that Ghost Rider is vague is because he has never seen "it" with his own eyes.The so-called knight's armor seemed false to him.

If he could see the essence of Ghost Rider, even if it was just an empty soul, he might not find Ghost Rider vague.

To put it bluntly, this is probably a kind of... rigor of Edward as a wizard?
Graipnir thought for a while and continued: "What about the others? Apart from you and Bubbles, how do others view Ghost Rider?"

"Others..." Edward murmured in a low voice: "I don't know much about this. After all, we are all in our own roles. Except when we can slander the master when talking to ourselves, we must do it at other times. Follow the character’s behavioral logic.”

Therefore, with Edward's identity and the identities of other characters, it is impossible for them to get together and openly talk about the Lord of the Secret Land.This is disrespectful and inconsistent with the character.

"Although we haven't talked about Ghost Rider, I can probably guess from their eyes that they are afraid of and disgusted with Ghost Rider."

Edward can understand his distaste for Ghost Rider.Because the Ghost Rider doesn't seem to like the "Spiritual Transformation Ritual", and will even destroy the "Spiritual Transformation Ritual" that others have managed to trick, which also leads to their dislike of the Ghost Rider.

But... Edward doesn't quite understand this emotion of fear.

"Anyway, I'm not too afraid of Ghost Rider." Edward said at this time, he made a small guess: "Maybe it's because I'm close to Bubbles and Ghost Rider doesn't care about me? He didn’t do anything bad to me.”

To sum it up, it’s still the same sentence. We don’t see much, so it’s hard to generate other emotions.

After listening to Edward's story, Gleipnir felt like he had just listened to a bunch of nonsense.I originally wanted to build an image of Ghost Rider from Edward's narration to facilitate future contact.

But after listening to it, the image of Ghost Rider became blurrier and more mysterious.

Gleipnir didn't feel comfortable complaining in front of Edward, so he just sighed a few words in his mind belt.

Luigi expressed sympathy for her.

Laplace was as cold as ever and did not speak.

Butler Fan echoed, but did not express too much.

Only Angel thought for a moment and said, "I think Edward gave a very important clue."

Graipnir said "Huh" and looked at Angel.

Angel: "Although Edward has always emphasized that in the Knight's Castle, he needs to play his own role and behave in a manner consistent with his personality. But after putting aside this superficial appearance and looking deeper, Edward actually wants to live in the castle."

"The so-called life cannot escape contact in all aspects."

Angel himself is a noble young master, so if he were asked to take the role, he would naturally take on the role of the master of the castle.

As the owner of a castle, even if he has a high status, he still needs to be in contact with people in all aspects of his life.

Otherwise, what's the point of having a lot of servants?

Naturally, it is because there are many things that are inconvenient for the master to do and require servants to take over.

From Edward's perspective, he had stayed in the castle for hundreds of years, but he had only seen the owner up close once, and other times he had seen him from a distance, no more than ten fingers away.

This is too little.

Ghost Rider hardly seems to be living a normal life in the castle.

Angel: "A character who doesn't have a normal life. He appears in the castle, and something is obviously not right."

Graipnir pondered for a moment: "Ghost Rider, it is true that there are too few appearances, which is not right. But this is not an important clue, right?"

Angel didn't answer and asked instead: "What do you think is the reason why Ghost Rider shows up so rarely?"

Graipnir thought for a while, with some vague guesses in his mind.Angel didn't wait for Gleipnir to answer, so he answered to himself: "If you look at it from my perspective, the Ghost Rider rarely appears, maybe because... he is not actually in the castle. "

After hearing this answer, everyone in the spiritual belt moved slightly, each with their own thoughts.

Angel: "We can think of the Knight's Castle as a copy of Wonderland, and the owner of the castle, the Ghost Rider, is a character played by the player."

"The reason why he often doesn't show up is because the player controlling Ghost Rider is not online."

Angel's metaphor is very bold, and it is not supported by much evidence.But inexplicably, Gleipnir felt that it made sense.

To use Yume no Akira's metaphor, Ghost Rider is often offline.Because of this, Edward rarely saw him for decades.

Gleipnir: "According to what you said, if he is really not online all year round, then why does he respond every time when Bubble goes to him?"

Angel: "Just because he's not online doesn't mean he doesn't know someone is looking for him. Perhaps he has set a background trigger device for his character. As long as someone enters his room, or someone enters the 'reaction' range of the Ghost Rider character , he will be reminded.”

Just like when a wizard is doing research, although he is focused on research, in order to avoid missing some important events, he will still make some early warning arrangements outside the laboratory.When something important happens, outsiders can trigger these arrangements in advance to contact the wizard who is doing the experiment.

In the same way, Ghost Rider may have made a layout for his character. As long as someone triggers it, he will sense it and respond online in time.

Graipnir: "In other words, you think that the Ghost Rider is actually controlled by someone. And this person may not be in the Knight's Castle."

Angel nodded: "Yes, the Ghost Rider's true form may be roaming in the ritual world, or..."

"...It's not in the Yi world at all, but uses something like a mirror window to control the Ghost Rider outside the Yi world."

The two guesses given by Angel made Gleipnir feel the same as before: although they were a bit outrageous, they somehow felt reasonable.

Looking at it this way, the clues Edward gave seemed really important.Analyzing and analyzing, the analysis goes beyond the Yi world...

However, Gleipnir was not one to dance with his emotions, and he quickly regained his senses.

Even though Angel's guess makes some sense, there is no evidence to support it. It is more of a speculation and speculation.

Even if it's true, it won't be of much help to Gleipnir when he later wants to contact Ghost Rider.

"I'd better think about it myself." Gleipnir said in the psychic belt: "By the way, do you have anything to ask Edward? If not, we should discuss his subsequent placement. ”

Luigi said no.

Laplace and Butler Fan remained silent.

Angel thought for a moment and said in his mind: "I'm still a little curious about the Knight's Castle. Let me ask him a few questions."

After a pause, Angel raised his head and looked at Edward opposite.

"What do you think of the Knight's Castle?"

Edward was stunned: "Huh?"

Angel: "In your eyes, what does the Knight's Castle look like? Do you have any doubts or... guesses about your need to role-play in the Knight's Castle?"

Angel was actually curious as to why the Knight's Castle required role-playing.Is there some unknown underlying logic here, or is it simply a bad taste of the creator?

Because Angel was a spectator watching the fire from the other side, although his evaluation was objective, it was not true enough.He wanted to know, as a former player in the game, how did Edward view this drama that lasted for hundreds of years?

Facing Angel's question, Edward's reaction was much slower this time, perhaps because he had to think or prepare his words.

After waiting for almost 5 minutes, Edward frowned and said slowly: "Let me first tell you what I think about the Knight's Castle."

"Knight's Castle seems strange to me. Although it looks like a normal space, there are always more things here for no reason."

Angel: "A few more things?"

Edward nodded: "It's those ritual sacrifices. They seemed to appear out of thin air, without any warning, and just appeared in the knight's castle or in the surrounding forest."

Sacrifice appeared out of thin air?

Everyone's expressions showed doubts. Before, they were only paying attention to the people in the Knight's Castle and had not thought about the issue of sacrifices.But if you think about it carefully, isn't it because of the sacrifice that Hilda was killed in the Knight's Castle?
Sacrifice may be a bright line in the Knight's Castle.

"Did it really appear out of thin air?" The person who spoke was Gleipnir. Originally, she was still thinking about the Ghost Rider, but Edward's answer made her so curious that she couldn't help but interrupt.

Edward: "Yes, they appeared out of thin air. Moreover, these sacrifices seem to recognize people, and will take on different forms in the hands of different people."

Gleipnir: "???"

Edward looked at Angel: "Didn't Mr. Angel ask me what I think about role-playing? My opinion is that role-playing may be related to these strange sacrifices."

"Because the more our role-playing matches our personality, the more sacrifices will appear around us. Moreover, the style of the sacrifices is also closely related to our personality."

"For example, because I often dress up Bubbles, I also research various wigs and dyes in private, which are in line with my role as a makeup artist. Therefore, in my room, I was born There are at least ten sacrifices, including combs, mirrors, hair, scissors, etc.”

Not only Edward, but also Bubbles.

Pao Pao also succeeded in playing the role of the eldest lady. After all, as a eldest lady, anything she does is normal and is considered acting.Therefore, sitting, lying and walking with bubbles are all included in the performance.

Therefore, Bubble has more sacrifices. There are at least thirty more sacrifices in its room.

Edward even witnessed the birth of the Bubble Sacrifice with his own eyes.

That was when he was styling Bubbles, and a bright red hairpin suddenly appeared directly on Bubbles' wig...

This hairpin is a kind of sacrifice.

However, Paopao personally doesn't pay much attention to things like sacrifices, because sacrifices are different in everyone's hands, and the style of the sacrifice is related to the character's personality.

The character design of Paopao highlights a "big lady", so there are many female products as sacrifices.

This is simply a great shame for Pao Pao, who talks about being "male" every day.

Therefore, Bubble simply locked all the sacrifices in the cabinet, out of sight and out of mind.
