Hyperdimensional Warlock

Appendix Chapter 3739
Three minutes before the countdown ends.

Beverly Nursing Center, Basement Laboratory——

"Mom, I think I hear someone calling me."

"Calling you?" The middle-aged woman holding Henrietta patted her back gently and said in a gentle tone, "You must have heard it wrongly. I didn't hear any sound."

While lingering on the warmth of her mother's arms, Henrietta turned her head and glanced out the window.

The sky was still rosy, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the windows, turning the panes golden.

She didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were fixed on the sky outside the window.

After a long pause, Henrietta suddenly spoke softly.

"Mom, I might have to go."

The mother lowered her head and looked at Henrietta in her arms: "Leave? Are you leaving here?"

Henrietta nodded.

"I feel them coming, they're calling me."

"Who are they?" The mother's face was full of confusion and her brows were tightly frowned.

Henrietta was silent for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she slowly spoke: "I don't know who they are, but I know that they are here to pick me up."

As Henrietta said this, for some reason, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.

"Do we have to leave?" Her mother held her face with worry in her eyes.

Henrietta nodded gently. "I have no choice."

After a pause, Henrietta turned her head away, not looking directly into her mother's eyes, and said in a light voice: "Although I will leave... maybe we can meet again in the future."

Henrietta looked at the setting sun outside the window and murmured in a low voice that only she could hear: Maybe then I can see my real mother.

Mother didn't seem to hear Henrietta's whispers and continued to look at her: "Then where are you and...them going?"

Henrietta struggled to leave her mother's warm embrace.

She got out of bed and walked barefoot to the door.

She gently pushed the door open and it was pitch black outside.

But she was not surprised. She just whispered to her mother who was sitting beside the bed: "They told me that the place is called..."

"...Dark corner."

As her voice fell.

The darkness outside the door suddenly turned on.

A very deep and long corridor appeared outside the door. Through the dim light in the corridor, one could see the walls outside.
The mottled light yellow color seemed to have been eroded for countless years. The floor was a little uneven, and the faint lights were distributed at intervals, extending all the way to the far distance.

There are countless doors in the corridor, and each door has the same style, as if they were copied and pasted.

"I'm leaving."

"Mother……"

"Goodbye."

Henrietta said goodbye quietly and suddenly fell to the ground.

A black shadow floated out of her body, solidified into a human shape, and walked towards the door.

The crisp footsteps continued into the unknown depths. At the same time, the mother's eyes suddenly became clear, as if she had recovered from confusion to clarity.

"This is..." She looked at the door and spoke softly.

But at this time, her voice was no longer the gentle female voice of "mother", but a clear male voice.

There is no doubt that it was Angel's consciousness that entered the illusion.

He looked at the seemingly endless corridor and immediately thought of the secret information he had learned from Bonette before: dark corner!
Is this a dark corner?!
Without any hesitation, Angel took a big step and tried to step through the door.

But when he walked through the gate, there was nothing.

There was nothing behind the door.

The corridor disappeared, the lights disappeared, the endless room disappeared, and the dark shadow that came out of Henrietta's body also disappeared...

……

Beverly Nursing Center, Dean’s Office.

Angel opened his eyes.

After he opened his eyes, he immediately ran out the door and headed down towards the underground laboratory.

During this process, he heard various roars and monster-like roars in his ears, but these sounds seemed to be suppressed.

I only heard the voice, but no one rushed forward.

Angel took a casual glance and saw a mutant lying on the ground in the corridor, twisting and struggling like a bug.

His face became extremely hideous, and his pale cheeks looked like a corpse.

He kept roaring inhuman noises.

Turing had been following Angel, and when it saw this strange patient, it subconsciously floated closer to observe him.

The other party suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of white cocoon silk, and pounced forward.

Turing was startled, and even the small golden TV had white edges floating around it.

It was not until two seconds later that Turing realized that the other party did not see him, but just followed some kind of wildness. Moreover, he had no way to jump out.

His surroundings have been fixed by the nightmare.

Cricket pupae can only be found on the ground.

That was why, despite all the shouting around, there was no sense of chaos. The nurses even dared to help them find their respective wards.

Because even if you support them, they will be controlled by the nightmare and will not be able to break free from the shackles.

Turing looked at this scene, with only one sentence in his mind: The end of the world seems to have come, but it also seems no different from usual.

Although it doesn't understand what is happening in front of it, it faithfully records all the images. This is the most precious and true record in the first season of "The Savior's Daily Life".

Ingres continued to walk towards the basement, and Turing, like a reporter, recorded everything on a small TV while following Ingres for fear of losing him.

"Master, are their mutations caused by a virus?"

Angel nodded: "What else?"

Apart from the mutated strange virus, he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"So what's their current situation? Are they alive or dead?"

Angel shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

He just used his mental power to sense and found that these mutants looked like the "zombies" that appeared in some movies, TV shows and games on the holographic tablet, but they were not dead and still had "activity" in their bodies.

Angel also couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead.

Anyway, block it first.

Angel went down all the way and soon arrived at the corridor where the laboratory was located. Connors was already waiting at the door of the laboratory.

Angel: "Open the door."

Connors did not hesitate, immediately unlocked the triple lock, and opened the door of the laboratory with his authority.

The laboratory was filled with fog and nothing could be seen.

Angle asked Connors to stay at the door and walked in.

As he stepped in, the surrounding fog slowly dissipated, revealing a young girl's boudoir.

It was Henrietta's room that Angel had previously simulated using magic.

The first thing Angel looked at was the only door. The door was open and there was darkness behind it.

Angel used his divine sense to probe out, but still found nothing. He only saw a figure... and this figure was the "mother" that Angel had controlled before.

At that time, he walked out using "mother", but found nothing, so he immediately returned to his body and rushed over.

But even if he moved his body over, he still couldn't see the so-called "dark corner".

Angel slowly walked towards the gate. At the gate there was a corpse with its whole body mutated. It was Henrietta's body.

Angel paid no attention to the body, but stepped over her, walked to the door, and walked out...

It was still dark.

There are no corridors or endless rooms.

Even the "abnormal" information could not be found. If Angel had not seen it with his own eyes before, he would have thought that he was dazzled.

At this point, Ingres finally confirmed that he had just passed by Dark Corner.

"The dark corner opened directly into the illusion, and even mistook the door in the illusion for a real door, opening a corridor..."

Ingres himself was not very interested in the dark corner. But when the dark corner quietly entered the illusion and took away Henrietta's "soul" - let's call the black shadow a soul - his interest in the dark corner arose.

Originally, he planned to advance the main storyline of this dungeon and put the "Disappearing Knight" mission on hold for a while.

But now, perhaps the priority of this side quest should be raised.

……

Now that the dark corner had disappeared, Ingres no longer paid attention to it.

Instead, he sat on the soft bed.

He glanced at Henrietta's body lying on the ground, and her voice seemed to ring in his ears -

"Mom, I'm leaving now."

“They are calling me…”

"We will meet again, and then, maybe I can see my real mother..."

From Henrietta's words, Angell was sure that Henrietta should have seen that the "mother" was fake. This did not surprise Angell, as he did not control Henrietta's thoughts. As long as she still had normal logic, she would understand that everything in front of her was fake, including the "mother".

What really surprised Ingres was Henrietta's description of the "dark corner".

"They are calling me. They are coming."

Does "they" here refer to the dark corner, or other people in the dark corner? If they are people, how did they contact her?

Ingres was a little confused.

Looking at the body that had already begun to cool, he couldn't help but whisper, "Could it be that the Dark Corner is related to the world after death? Or, after the death of the people in Modern City, they will go to the Dark Corner?"

If this is true, then the Dark Corner is the hell of this world.

So the fashion monster is the devil from hell?

Angel shook his head, feeling that his imagination was going off the track. Never mind, since he didn't know the situation for the time being, he would just leave it aside.

After completing the quest "The Vanishing Knight", you may be able to get closer to the Dark Corner.

Just as Angel was thinking, Turing floated to Henrietta's body.

"Master, what should we do with her body?"

Angel: "Don't worry about it, just leave it alone."

Angel still remembered that after completing the hidden mission, there seemed to be a follow-up mission introduction. He glanced at it at the time and seemed to mention Henrietta's body.

Turing floated back again, looking around Henrietta's boudoir while recording everything here on a small TV.

She even prayed to Ingres to use illusion to simulate the previous scene of "deep love between mother and daughter".

This is all fodder for reality TV variety shows.

While Turing was collecting materials, Ingres turned his attention to the text column.

Because of Henrietta's mishap, Angel didn't have time to look at his rewards and subsequent tasks...

"Progress blocked: 100%"

"You have completed the hidden mission "The Unknown Savior"."

"Congratulations on getting any series of puzzle pieces (small) * 8"

"Congratulations on getting 5 pieces of any series of puzzle pieces (medium)"

"Congratulations on getting any series of puzzle pieces (large) *2"

"Congratulations on receiving the "Appendix: Viralization"."

The rewards are pretty luxurious.

There are a lot of puzzle pieces, and this time the puzzle pieces do not specifically specify which series they belong to, but the "any" series, which means that Angel can transform them at will.

Heat, manufacturing, gorgeousness, creativity, style...any series can be chosen by you.

Not only are there small fragments, but even large fragments are rewarded.

It is absolutely extremely rich.

The only thing that made Angel helpless was that the puzzle pieces could not be used directly. He had to unlock the puzzle first before he could use the puzzle pieces to supplement it.

When the puzzle is not unlocked, the puzzle pieces can only be viewed.

In other words, this pile of puzzle pieces is actually not of much use to Ingres at the moment.

Angel finally turned his gaze to the only reward that was not a puzzle piece.

——"Appendix: Viralization".

The original meaning of the appendix refers to the additional part at the end of a chapter, which often contains some supplementary materials, data, reference information, etc., and also provides a detailed explanation or expansion of certain content involved in the main text.

But when it works on the "Fashion Magic Book", the effect changes a little.

"Appendix: You can add it to any page of the magic book to make the effect of a single page unique."

simply put.

The "Prologue" is effective for the entire magic book, while the "Appendix" is effective for a certain page in the magic book.

For example, "Prologue: Spectrum" amplifies the abilities related to "light" in the entire magic book.

"Appendix: Photonics" can amplify the "light" power of a certain page of fashion magic.

One is the general outline and the other is the detailed outline.

In terms of the versatility of the effect, "Prologue" is definitely better.

But the effect of the "Appendix" is often more "specialized" and more special; most importantly, the "Appendix" and the "Prologue" can coexist.

After understanding the effect of the "Appendix", Angel looked at the appendix he had obtained again.

"Appendix: Viralization: It can be added to any page of the magic book to make all the fashion magic on that page go viral."

Although Angel already understood the effect of "Appendix", he was still confused when he looked at "Appendix: Viralization".

What is "fashion magic virality"?
Is it adding some viral enchantment to the fashion magic?
For example, if the magic of light chasing is added to the viralization, it means that when the halo shines on the crowd, everyone will be infected with the virus?

Of course, this is just Ingres's guess.

The specific effect may only be known after testing.

Under normal circumstances, once the "Appendix" is added to the magic book, it cannot be removed. But Angel has the "Golden Scissors", so even if the "Appendix" is added to the magic book, there is no need to worry about not being able to remove it.

However, at present, only the two pages of "Fashion Tailor" and "Variety Elf" in his magic book are complete.

Variety Genie is closely related to Turing, so Angle didn’t dare to rashly add “viralization” to this page. If that happened, Turing would be affected, which would not be good.

The “Fashion Tailor” page has the crucial “Golden Scissors”. If “going viral” affects the effect of the Golden Scissors, that would be even worse.

So, if he wants to test "Appendix: Viralization", perhaps he needs to get a new puzzle piece.
