Hyperdimensional Warlock

"02:13"

  The countdown continues.

  Originally, Luigi was quite stressed when he saw the countdown, but when Angel arrived, his stress suddenly reduced and his mood became much calmer.

  Although Angel didn't know anything about this random incident, at least someone was there to discuss it.

  "Tell me, how should I deal with this random incident?" Luigi: "Or, what attitude should I take towards this group of travelers later?"

  Angel thought for a while and said: "It's up to you how you should face this group of travelers. However, I personally suggest that you don't use force easily before you understand their intentions."

  Luigi: "I definitely understand that."

  When facing an unknown visitor, it is best to be polite first. If the other party behaves inappropriately, then be cautious.

  However, even if it is a "first gift", it must be based on degree.

  Is it a cordial welcome? Or should we watch silently and wait and see first? Or pretend not to know and wait for them to come to you first?
  This is what Luigi struggled with.

  Angel: "...how to choose, let nature take its course, it depends on your own performance."

  "More than these, I actually want to know, are there any abnormal signs in the Wonderland copy before the random event is triggered?"

  Angel wanted to analyze why it was the copy of Uriel that triggered the random event?
  Luigi actually didn't know what happened at all. He carefully recalled the previous situation and said slowly: "There seems to be no sign. I am learning from Gulemo at this time just like yesterday."

  Angel thought for a moment and then asked, "Has anything unusual happened to you in the past two days?"

  Luigi shook his head without hesitation: "I haven't been offline at all in the past two days. During the day, I activated Mulloy's conducting class and learned conducting; in my free time, I went to talk to Uriel about music theory; in the evening, I went to Gulay Don’t seek education.”

  Whether analyzed from Luigi's point of view or Angel's point of view, there was indeed nothing wrong with Luigi in the past two days.

  Would that mean that the source of this incident had nothing to do with Luigi? But is it related to Gulemo?
  After all, Gulemo has been "dreaming" for two days in a row. Could this be a sign?
  After hearing Angel's inquiry, Luigi still shook his head: "There is nothing unusual about Gulemo's teaching. He only teaches and does not talk about anything other than learning."

  "Except for being a little strict, there is nothing..."

  When Luigi was mid-sentence, something suddenly occurred to him: "If it's abnormal, it's probably because Gulemo also seemed to have received the reminder from Wonderland."

  Angel: "???"

  Gulemo is a "dream" NPC. They will do things according to the guidance of the power of the fairyland in the dark, but there will be no fairyland prompts.

  Angel is very sure of this.

  Because the Wonderland prompt is simply a kind of information flow. The reason why Angel was able to present the Wonderland information in a literal way every time he broadcast live was not because he asked Luigi, but because he controlled the power to read and intercept it. information flow.

  Because of this, Angel is very sure that whether it is an ordinary NPC or a "dream" NPC, there will be no information flow surrounding them from beginning to end.

  Therefore, they have no fairyland prompts.

  But now Luigi said that Gulemo also received reminders from Wonderland, which made Angel a little weird?
  Could it be that Gulemo is going to become a player?

  "How did you determine that he also received the prompt from Wonderland? Did you ask directly?" Angel asked.

  Luigi shook his head: "I didn't ask, but I just received the Wonderland prompt of a random event. The next second, I heard Gulemo muttering 'Traveler' in a low voice."

  How would Gulemo know about the travelers if he had no hint of the wonderland?
  This is why Luigi concluded that Gulemo might have received a reminder from Wonderland.

  Compared to Luigi's decisiveness, Angel felt that something might be fishy. When he looked down from the perspective of the small garden just now, he did sense a trace of information flow in the yard.

  But judging from the residual rhyme of the information flow, it seems that it has no connection with Gulemo.

  In other words, Gulemo may not have received fairyland cues. But if he didn't have the prompt from Wonderland, then why did he mutter "traveler" under his breath?

  Angel glanced at Gulemo in the yard.

  He had a vague feeling that this random incident might really be related to Gulemo.

  Angel: "Please tell me in detail how Gulemo behaved before and after the fairyland reminder arrived."

  Although Luigi didn't know what was going on, he still explained the previous situation carefully.

  After finishing speaking, Luigi was still a little embarrassed.

  After all, Gulemo was about to take off his clothes before the fairyland reminder came... Hey, having said that, could it be a random event caused by taking off his clothes?
  While Luigi was thinking wildly, Angel noticed something was wrong.

  According to Luigi, before the fairyland prompt appeared, Gulemo turned his head first and looked in the direction of the twisted light hole.

  In other words, the speed at which he perceived the "traveler" was even a little faster than the fairyland prompts.

  This is absolutely not normal.

  Before, Angel was just guessing, but now he was at least [-]% sure that the random incident was definitely related to Gulemo.

  Now, just wait for the "traveler" to come and prove the remaining [-] percent.

  ……

  With ten seconds left on the countdown, Luigi returned to the courtyard.

  He finally decided to cope with the changes by remaining unchanged.

  If the travelers really had a "mission" for him, they would definitely come to him.

  Besides, the current copy of Uriel is only so big. There was only a foggy street and a shabby little attic.

  Travelers have one and only one destination, and that is Uriel's attic.

  So, just wait in the yard.

  Luigi was playing the harp in the yard, and the melodious notes carried the flavor of freedom, as if he was at ease in his heart.

  Gulemo sat opposite Luigi, listening to Luigi's strumming and making beats.

  When the two of them work together, they have a sense of knowing each other and being free and unrestrained.

  It can be said that the atmosphere in the courtyard is very good at this time.

  However, this atmosphere did not occur naturally, but was deliberately created by Luigi. He didn't have the idea of ​​creating a "personality", but he thought of creating an elegant atmosphere for travelers coming from afar, which can be regarded as a half-measure.

  While Luigi was strumming, he was also multitasking, talking to Angel in his mind.

  "They're coming in. Please describe their appearance to me, so that I won't be able to hold back my expression when weird monsters appear."

  Angel: "... yes."

  Luigi was showing off in the yard, while Angel was staring closely at the twisted light hole from the perspective of the small garden.

  When the countdown reaches "00:00", the thin film of the light hole slowly becomes nothing and eventually disappears.

  Following them were four people with curious faces... and a little black cat.

  "They look like humans, two men and two women, both of whom look very young. They are dressed very delicately, but their style is very strange, a bit exotic."

  While Angel described the appearance of the visitor to Luigi, he used his God's perspective to focus on these people and find out the information about the visitor.

  The reason why they can detect it is because the moment these people entered the twisted light cave, a large amount of information flow poured out from the depths of the fairyland, surrounded them, and slowly merged with them.

  What Angel did was to intercept part of the information flow and confirm their identities.

  As the information flow stopped, Angel discovered...

  Three of these four people are "NPCs". But the specific NPC was not confirmed from the information flow around them.

  By the way, that little black cat is also an NPC. The name intercepted from the information flow around it is: Black Cat Juanjuan.

  As for the others, they also have names.

  There is only one person, she does not have the characteristics of an NPC, and her name cannot be seen...

  ……

  Time goes back to four minutes ago.

  When Lady Moon and her group passed through the path of flowing light, they reached the end of the glow. They discovered that the glow was a glass wall, like a boundary membrane, blocking their progress.

  But this obstruction is not absolute.

  Because they saw a number "03:59" on the glass wall.

  This number keeps beating, getting smaller every second. There is no doubt that this is a countdown.

  "If I understand correctly, when the countdown ends, we should be able to cross this glass wall." Ms. Moon said.

  Mr. Taiyang also nodded: "That's probably what you mean, but why do you have to wait 4 minutes to enter?"

  Ms. Moon: "I think what's even more strange is why there is a countdown outside Strange Dream..."

  Whose dream will set a clock for themselves?

  Moreover, this clock is so on time.

  Is this really a dream and not reality?

  Blanche and Camillo were also confused. They didn't know why they had to wait 4 minutes after arriving at Gulemo's Dream...

  But just wait, 4 minutes is not long.

  Everyone stopped outside the glazed wall and waited silently. After waiting for about half a minute, they finally understood that there would be a countdown limit...

  Because the wall of light in front of them is setting their identities.

  Only a ball of light floated out from the wall of light, surrounding them heavily.

  In an instant, they seemed to have left the Bridge of Flowing Light and arrived in an ocean of light.

  This sea of ​​light exudes a huge and distant aura, as if there is a supreme law behind it. Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun can vaguely feel the fluctuations of the law, but when they really try to grasp it, they feel there is nothing.

  They both looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

  Although they don't know where this place is, such unfathomable fluctuations are definitely not an ordinary dream.

  This "strange dream" may really be an "abnormal dream".

  Their moods, which had been slightly relaxed at first, were now tense... There was nothing wrong with being cautious.

  While Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun were trying to figure things out, the ocean of light set off waves, and these waves kept sweeping across. Devour them one by one.

  The first person to disappear was Ms. Moon. She only saw a burst of dazzling golden light in front of her eyes, and then she was submerged by the tide.

  The second before she was submerged, Ms. Moon saw Mr. Sun’s panicked expression and his impatiently stretched out hand.

  However, Mr. Sun did not hold Ms. Moon, but he was also swallowed up by a sudden curtain of light.

  After Ms. Moon and Mr. Sun disappeared, the others did not escape and were swallowed up one by one.

  However, after they were swallowed up, they did not encounter disaster, but returned from the Ocean of Light to the Bridge of Flowing Light outside.

  No one was injured and no one is missing.

  The countdown on the light wall had only passed less than one minute.

  It seems that this ocean of light is like a dream.

  But everyone understood that it was... different.

  After they were swallowed by the sea of ​​light, some more information came into their consciousness.

  The first message is: "Please set your name."

  After they recited their respective names silently in their hearts, something appeared around them.

  In other words, before they were in front of Yi Meng, they were a shady person; but now, they have a "legal and compliant" identity and have the authority to enter "Dong Meng".

  For example, at this moment, an identity information card appeared in Ms. Moon's consciousness.

  "Name: Moon."

  "Temporary identity: traveler from afar."

  "You are going to the wonderland "Uriel's Choice". As a new traveler, everything about you is blank. How to write words on this blank page will be your choice."

  "Please note that every choice you make will be the basis for determining whether your identity will remain."

  The ID cards are simple and don't have many clues. The only information revealed is that the place they are going to is called "Wonderland".

  But what is fairyland, Ms. Moon doesn’t know yet.

  Ms. Moon asked other people.

  Everyone has already set their identity information, and other information is the same. The only difference is the name.

  However, after asking around, Ms. Moon found that no one seemed to have the habit of using pseudonyms.

  Mr. Sun's name is still "Sun", Camillo also uses his real name, and Juanjuan even added the prefix "Black Cat" to his own name.

  In short, the identity is complete.

  The only one who is different from everyone else...is Blanche.

  Blanche was completely confused as she listened to their chat about "identity information" because she didn't receive any information prompts.

  She was also submerged by the ocean of light just now, but she came out after the submergence, and there was not much information in her mind.

  Facing Blanche's blank face, everyone was confused. Why did Blanche have no identity information?
  However, before they could think about it, the countdown on the glass wall reached "00:00".

  The moment the countdown ended, the wall of light slowly disappeared, revealing a passage.

  This time Camillo led the way and walked to the front.

  Blanche was last.

  She looked at this passage and felt a little entangled in her heart. Everyone else had an identity, but she had nothing. This means that she has now become the only "black household", so...can she still get in?

  She hesitated for a moment, then raised her legs forward and stepped over.

  There was no obstruction, and like everyone else, she entered the passage smoothly.

  Blanche breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed the people in front of her, heading deeper into the passage...

  And when everyone stepped into the passage, the glazed wall of light slowly recovered, and everyone walked along the passage and came to a long street full of fog...
