Hyperdimensional Warlock

3539 - Eye of Crack
Since everyone has a mental monster, what does your own mental monster look like?
Angel wants to know what the monster in his mind looks like.

This is not just out of curiosity; moreover, he can also use the appearance of his own mental monster to analyze whether its appearance is affected by "desire".

Angel himself couldn't see the psychic monster, even if he was wearing vigilant eyes.

If you want to see his inner monster, you can only ask others to wear vigilant eyes.

Under Angel's hopeful eyes, Zero Zero Four agreed to his request.

Zero Zero Four is actually quite curious, what is Angel's mental monster like, and what attitude does he have towards himself?

Thinking of this, Zero Zero Four took the Vigilant Eye from Angel, held it in his hand for a moment and said, "Since the guest wants to know about his own spiritual monster, then I will take a look."

As he spoke, Zero Zero Four put the Eyes of Vigilance on his head.

Previously, when the Vigilant Eyes were in Angel's hands, they were just normal rimless glasses; but on Zero Zero Four, they seemed to have turned into square, flat glasses in order to match his lens head. Moreover, the frame is directly suspended in the air to prevent the glasses from falling.

The current shape of the Vigilant Eye reminded Angel of the cube man in the mini-game "Minecraft" on the holographic tablet.

Angel couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart due to his imaginative reverie.

It was also when Angel was serious on the surface but snickering on the inside, Zero Zero Four's eyes suddenly froze and looked behind Angel strangely.

Zero Zero Four's eyes seemed to be full of doubts.

This look...

It's like a child who has been playing outside for a day and suddenly sees a strange guest coming home after returning home... What's more important is that none of his family members seem to be able to see this strange guest.

So the child secretly looked at the strange stranger with ignorant and curious eyes.

At this moment, Angel was thinking of this scene.

It's weird, but it matches Zero Zero Four's eyes.

But having said that, Zero Zero Four was looking behind Angel...if nothing unexpected happened, what he saw should be Angel's inner monster.

From his eyes, Angel did not see too many extreme emotions, but was full of doubts: "So, maybe my mental monster is not very scary?"

Angel thought in his mind, if it was scary, at least Zero Zero Four would have a surprised look on his face.But Zero Zero Four's mood was very calm, without any disturbance, not even a moment of surprise.

So, maybe having your own mind monster is common?
A common spiritual monster that can make people doubtful?

What kind of psychic monster is this?

Angel couldn't wait to get the answer from Zero Zero Four, but Zero Zero Four did not speak immediately, but replied: "Wait a moment, I will take a closer look."

As he spoke, Zero Zero Four stood up, walked around the table, and came to Angel's side.

But his eyes were no longer on Angel, but still looking behind him.

He even...raised his head slightly.

It seems to be looking up.

Seeing this scene, Angel's eyes flickered.Could it be that the monster in my mind is very big?Otherwise, why would Zero Zero Four raise his head and look upward?
Could it be a giant thing?

Angel rubbed his chin and quickly analyzed in his head whether he had any desire for a "giant thing".

Hmm...it seems not.

Just when Angel's mind was wandering and thinking about various things, Zero Zero Four's eyes looking up suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank significantly.

His emotions also fluctuated for a moment.

It was as if he had seen a natural enemy, with fear.

But soon, this sudden emotion disappeared, and it was replaced by greater doubts and a trace of vigilance.

After about ten seconds, Zero Zero Four silently returned to his seat.

He took off the Eye of Alertness and placed it on the table.

His expression did not relax because the vigilant eyes were removed. Instead, he lowered his head and fell into some kind of thoughts.

Angel looked at Zero Zero Four who was silent across from him, and questions kept popping up in his mind.

What just happened?Did Zero Zero Four see anything?Why did your expression suddenly change?
Could it be that the monster in his mind revealed his thoughts?

But... Angel doesn't have any bad intentions towards Zero [-] or the entire Toujian clan. He treats them purely as trading partners.It was precisely because he had no malice in his heart that Angel dared to let Zero [-] use the vigilant eyes to look at him with confidence.

As a result, it now seems self-defeating?

After being confused for about half a minute, there was new movement on the other side.

Xiluo walked to Ling Lingsi's side. Under Ling Lingsi's attention, she picked up the vigilant eye on the table.

What happened when the alert eyes were suddenly turned over?Angel: "...what's wrong?"

Xi Luo said softly: "The store manager asked me to wear it too and have a look."

But Xi Luo didn't know the specific reason.

However, although the store manager did not tell her about the situation, Xiluo could guess that the store manager wanted her to see the spiritual monster around Angel.

Xiluo didn't hesitate and directly put on the vigilant eyes.

The vigilant eye once again transformed into square glasses, but this time the frame is pink, which is more suitable for Xi Luo's temperament.

After Xiluo put on the vigilant eyes, like Zero Zero Four, he looked behind Angel.Apparently, Angel's inner monster is behind him.

Xi Luo's expression was similar to Zero Zero Four's before, full of doubts and curiosity.

Xiluo even came to Angel's side and looked up.

However, when Xi Luo looked up, he didn't show any fear, he just kept looking curiously.

After a moment, she returned behind Zero Zero Four.

She and Zero Zero Four did not have an explicit conversation, but Angel was sure that they must have communicated in the stream of consciousness.

Sure enough, after pondering for a few seconds, Zero Zero Four said, "I'm sorry to keep the guest waiting for so long."

After a pause, Zero [-] continued: "The guest's psychic monster is a bit special. In order to prevent me from seeing it wrong, I asked [-] to also wear vigilant eyes and take a look. After communication, the psychic monster we saw should be The same one, but there may be a little difference in details.”

Angel raised his eyebrows slightly: The same psychic monster, but different details?What does it mean?Could it be that one psychic monster is laughing and the other is crying?
Zero Zero Four did not hide anything, but spoke in detail about the scene he and Xi Luo saw after putting on the Vigilant Eyes.

"When I put on my vigilant eyes, I immediately saw that there was an obvious abnormality behind the guest. If nothing unexpected happens, this abnormality must be related to the spiritual monster..."

The "abnormality" Zero [-] saw was actually a large number of green light spots.

Behind Angel, there are many green light spots. They are dancing, floating, intertwined, and spiraling... forming a flashing green light mist.It looks quite dreamy, as if it is filled with unknown mysteries.

However, for a veteran like Zero Zero Four who is used to seeing all kinds of strange scenes, the scene before him cannot surprise him.

He was quite confused, why could he only see green light spots and no living things?
Logically speaking, psychic monsters should be life forms.

Could it be that the light mist composed of these green light points is a special life form?
Psychic monsters may also have this form, but [-] has only seen such psychic monsters behind beings in the gaseous or energy state.

Could there be life in the form of light and mist behind humans?
When Zero Zero Four was confused, he noticed that the light mist behind Angel seemed to be spiraling silently.That green haze of light extends to an unknown place high in the sky.

It was like a Milky Way, rising from behind Angel and going straight into deep space.

Zero Zero Four was sitting opposite Angel, and he couldn't even see what was at the end of the mist from his own perspective.

Out of curiosity, Zero Zero Four stood up, walked to Angel's side, and looked up.

A magical place appears.

Obviously, where he was sitting before, he was only two or three meters away from Angel, but he couldn't see what was above him.On the contrary, from Angel's position, he saw the scene at the end of the light mist: a crack in space.

It is as if this crack is on a special plane. From other positions, it appears to be integrated with the space.Only by looking up from Angel's position can we see the clues.

Zero Zero Four didn't know why this crack took on such a shape.However, he did not delve into it. The field of psychic monsters itself was not what he was good at.

Closer to home.

Since this space crack exists, there must be a reason.

Could it be that Angel's inner monster is actually hidden behind the crack?Otherwise, this green light mist is a spiritual monster, which is really unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Zero Zero Four continued to look around, trying to see the scene behind him through the ever-evil space cracks.

then……

He really saw it.

The crack suddenly opened a little, and he saw a huge bloodshot eye, staring at himself through the crack.

Although Zero [-] did not sense any malicious emotion from this eye, this sudden "being looked down upon" still made him a little nervous.

His expression changed instantly, with fear and alertness in his eyes.

Fortunately, the eyes only appeared for that moment and then disappeared.In the crack in the sky, no eyes can be seen anymore, only a large amount of green light mist can be seen, which is constantly escaping from the crack, intertwining with the path of light mist below, like the Milky Way falling for nine days.

After Zero Zero Four returned to his seat, he was still frightened.

This was the first time he encountered such a weird spiritual monster.Moreover, he had a guess that this weird space crack might actually be a kind of protection, protecting them inside the crack from the "monsters" outside the crack.

Of course, this speculation is unfounded.Mental monsters cannot interfere with reality, and he has never heard of mental monsters causing harm to life in the material world.

Therefore, this is just a groundless speculation.

Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Zero Zero Four took off the vigilant eye.He originally wanted to tell Angel about the situation immediately, but he thought about it and held it back.

The scene he saw was so unbelievable that when he told it himself, he felt a little outrageous.

Therefore, he planned to find another person to put on the vigilant eyes and corroborate each other.

He finally found [-]. After all, [-] had been in contact with Angel for a longer time.

[-] also put on vigilant eyes as he thought.Moreover, while watching [-], he was also communicating with [-] through the stream of consciousness.

[-], like him, saw the green light mist.And under his guidance, [-] also came to Angel's side and saw the crack in the sky.

However, [-] did not see the eyes behind the crack.

This space crack seems to be dead silent here in [-], without much fluctuation at all.

But [-] still sensed some "goodwill" from the cracks.

From this, it can be basically confirmed that the true form of Angel's psychic monster is behind the crack.Because only from the soul monster can some emotional changes be perceived.

Previously, Zero [-] had not sensed any malice from those giant bloodshot eyes, but there was not much kindness either, just like a stranger.

Because [-] is familiar with Angel, she feels a little more kindness than [-].

This is also consistent with the characteristics of psychic monsters.

As for why [-] didn't see the eyes behind the crack?Zero Zero Four guessed that maybe it was because of the eyes behind the crack that he had good intentions towards Four Zero Eight, so he didn't "open the eyes" to scare her.

But no matter what, there was already someone who could corroborate each other. Zero Zero Four no longer hesitated and told Angel everything he saw.

……

After listening to Zero Zero Four and Xi Luo's story, Angel's expression did not change, but the emotions in his heart surged like waves.

Because Zero Zero Four's story reminded him of something.

Things related to the nightmare world.

He had a hunch that the jumping green light spots were definitely related to the green lines on his hands and eyes.

And the eye behind the crack might also be one of his "old friends".

If this is the case, is the psychic monster still related to the nightmare world?

Angel knew that the Nightmare Realm was a mysterious blue sea full of secrets. If the spiritual monsters were also related to the Nightmare Realm, it would seem somewhat reasonable.

After all, Zero Zero Four said before that the scholar who studies the Vigilant Eye believes that psychic monsters are also a kind of "projection."

And the Nightmare Realm does have a lot of information related to "projection".

Thinking about it this way, I can understand it.

But... what if the psychic monster has nothing to do with the nightmare world?

So is his inner monster taking on this form because of his own influence?
Angel was certain that the green haze, the cracks, and the eyes behind the cracks were not caused by desire.But their images may indeed be extracted from their own characteristics.

The green haze represents the green lines.

The eyes represent a certain "old friend".

And the cracks…

Angel pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Zero Zero Four: "Can I ask what the approximate shape of the space crack is?"
