"Is this... really no problem? It is motionless and has a dull expression. It looks like it is in a daze." Froude asked Angel, but his eyes were fixed on Toby on the table.
"In reality, the resentment in Toby's body has been showing signs of suppressing and rebounding. If it really exceeds the limit, it will inevitably face the disaster of resentment. Therefore, I have no choice." Angel
He replied helplessly.
Toby was sitting blankly on the table at this time, his eyes didn't seem to be focused, and he seemed to have not recovered yet.
As Froude said, it was like a demon in a daze.
The reason for Toby's situation was that Angel forcibly interfered with the operation of the House of Heart and released Toby early.
Back in time not long ago——
After Angel brought Toby to the Wilderness of Dreams, he explained to Toby the functions of the House of Heart and the possible dangers before letting Toby enter.
After Toby was covered by the power of the House of Heart, he was fine at first, but it didn't take long before something unexpected happened.
In the eyes of Sanders and Flood, Toby has not changed.
But Angel discovered something was wrong through the power of the "Dream Gate". Not long after Toby entered the House of Heart, a strange creature...or power, seemed to be connected to Toby.
Through power investigation, Angel discovered that this so-called strange creature is actually an aggregation of a large number of negative emotions.
Angel immediately understood that this might be the projection of extremely resentful thoughts.
At this point, Angel confirmed that the House of Heart really inspired the resentful thoughts hidden in Toby's body. This was the result that Angel expected, so that Toby could face the resentful thoughts in advance.
.
However, since the thoughts of extreme resentment were aroused and the thoughts of extreme resentment were connected to Toby, it is very likely that there will be a rebound in reality.
So, he returned to reality.
If the reality is what he imagined, the extremely resentful thoughts have begun to be released from Toby's body. The better thing is that the degree of release is still within a controllable range.
However, if it is not stopped as soon as possible, the thoughts of extreme resentment are likely to break through the seal set by Frost. At that time, Toby will inevitably face the disaster of extreme resentment.
Unprepared, Angel couldn't possibly let Toby face the disaster right now.
Therefore, in order to prevent the thoughts of extreme resentment from actually breaking through the seal, Angel immediately used the green pattern after returning to the Wilderness of Dreams to drag Toby out of the power of the House of Heart.
Because the operation of the House of Heart was forcibly interrupted, Toby may have appeared in his current dazed state before he could even react.
But what is gratifying is that Angel can feel that the resentment he had with Toby before has disappeared again. It should have been suppressed again.
Angel thought Toby might just be having a stress reaction, but five minutes had passed and Toby still hadn't come back to his senses, which made him a little worried.
Angel turned to look at Sanders, who was sitting aside and looking through the "House of Heart Experiment Records": "Mentor, is this normal for Toby?"
Sanders raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that your understanding of the nature of illusions needs to go further."
After a pause, Sanders explained: "The power of the House of Heart is actually the power of illusion. It is just in the aftermath of the illusion. Whether it can come out depends on what it has experienced."
The so-called "aftereffects of hallucinations" can actually be understood as "aftershocks".
After a timid person is bitten by a snake, he may be afraid of snakes in the future. This is what is called lingering fear.
The "aftermath of hallucinations" is similar. Because hallucinations involve psychological problems, they will inevitably affect certain emotions in your heart. If you defeat the hallucinations on your own, then there is no problem. However, if it is an external force that removes you from the hallucinations,
If you are pulled out of the hallucination, this kind of "remaining fear" situation is very likely to occur.
Some people may quickly get over the lingering fear; but some people may remain in the shadows for their entire lives.
Toby is in this state now.
However, Toby is an extraordinary creature after all, and the aftermath of the illusion should not last long.
When Angel was thinking this, Toby on the table finally reacted. His eyes recovered from confusion, and then trembled for a moment, and his little head looked around, as if looking for something.
When he found that he had left that dark world, Toby finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran to Angel's side at a speed as fast as flying. It seemed that only by Angel's side could he
Find safety.
Angel stroked Toby's feathers, and when he touched Toby, it visibly trembled. But soon, Toby squinted and enjoyed Angel's touch.
After serving Toby comfortably, Angel asked: "What did you experience in the House of Heart just now?"
Toby's body stiffened for a moment, and his red eyes seemed to be panicked for a moment.
However, this panic did not last long.
Perhaps it was the temperature of Angel's palm that made Toby feel safe. After pondering for a moment, Toby began to chirp in a low voice.
In Froude's eyes, Toby just chirped repeatedly and flapped his wings from time to time, seemingly expressing something. However, Froude couldn't understand what Toby was saying at all, but Angel looked very confused.
He nodded seriously, and kept saying something... one side was human language, the other side was bird language, but there was no barrier to communication.
After a long time, Toby stopped calling and seemed to have finished speaking.
Frode looked at Angel and asked what Toby said so that he could record it in the report.
Angel pondered for a moment: "After Toby entered the House of Heart, he saw two doors in the long corridor, one of which contained his obsession."
When Toby and Angel communicated, more than 80% of the time was spent talking about his obsessions. For example, dried fish, music boxes, various costumes, etc., there were a lot of explicit and implicit hints.
Only a small part of the time is talking about the other door.
"What's in the other door?" Froude asked curiously.
"...It is a dark void." Angel paused: "But in this dark void, it saw the aggregation of extremely resentful thoughts."
"Jealous Snake Bird."
…
When Toby faced this behemoth, he was completely stunned.
It's not because of the envy of the snake bird, but because of the indescribable connection between Toby and the snake bird.
When the snake bird cast its evil eyes on Toby, endless negative emotions washed towards Toby like a torrent.
These negative emotions not only make Toby feel uncomfortable, but also amplify Toby's senses.
For example, let Toby immerse himself in certain memories. These memories contain images that make Toby feel jealous, resentful, and jealous.
Toby felt like a pebble, being overwhelmed by such negative emotions.
Dark, helpless, scared.
There is also the irritability caused by negative emotions, which fills Toby's senses.
It wasn't until Angel forcibly stopped the House of Heart that Toby was saved from the terrifying torrent. But even so, Toby was immersed in the "aftermath of the illusion" for a long time before he came back to his senses.
