Angel nodded. He was also full of curiosity about this live thread, so he took it without hesitation.
Neither Tree Spirit nor Rhine expressed their opinions on Sanders' decision. Sanders had vaguely revealed before that Angel's Nightmare Soul level was stronger than his, so Angel might be able to discover something.
Angel carefully observed the white silk wadding placed on the leaves. It looked like an ordinary wool, struggling and twisting.
The more he observed, the stranger Angel felt.
He is still full of doubts, is this really from the nightmare world?
So far, he still hasn't sensed any aura from the nightmare world.
"What do you think of this living thread?" Sanders asked after Angel had finished observing. Everyone else also looked at Angel, wanting to see what he had discovered.
Angel's expression was almost the same as Sanders' before, with his eyebrows raised and confusion in his eyes: "It's a bit strange. The parasite that was raging in Night Demon City also had to have the breath of the nightmare world to remain active, but this root
The live thread does not seem to be needed.”
As far as Angel knows, the creatures he encountered in the nightmare world, whether they were parasites, colorful dragonflies, clown cards, Frog the frog chanter, Fox the fox harp player... etc., they all relied heavily on the nightmare world.
The aura given to them by the world is the so-called aura of the nightmare world.
If they leave the range of the nightmare world's breath, their strength will slowly decline, and eventually they will even die.
But the movable line doesn't seem to have this feature.
Because of this, Angel was very doubtful whether this living thread really came from a creature from the nightmare world?
And there is another point. Although Angel does not like the actions of the creatures in the nightmare world, he has to say that he has a natural affinity for the creatures in the nightmare world. Perhaps it is because of his physical condition, or because of the influence of Sawa, the nightmare world
The creatures basically have no ill intentions toward him.
But Angel couldn't feel any intimacy with this living thread at all. Therefore, Angel's suspicion was even deeper.
Of course, it is also possible that this living thread really comes from Yorkies. Yorkies are the only creatures in the nightmare world that have shown any malice towards Angel. Therefore, Angor cannot feel close to the living threads made by Yorkies. It is possible.
possible.
Sanders: "Did you find anything else?"
Angel: "You can't observe anything with the naked eye. If you can feel it deeply or come into contact with it, you may make new discoveries."
However, Angel's idea has not received support from anyone for the time being. The living line is very dangerous. If it is touched without defense, the official wizard may be infected. Other official wizards want to touch it, Rhine
Everyone would stop it, let alone Angel.
"Then I have discovered nothing." Angel shook his head. This was the first time he saw a living thread, and this living thread did not require the breath of the nightmare world to survive. This was already a blind spot in his knowledge.
Angel's words currently express one meaning: he suspects that the living thread does not come from the nightmare world.
Sanders thought for a while: "Your doubts still lie in its origin. In fact, I think you can put this aside for the time being. If you compare it carefully, this living thread and the original parasite actually have a lot in common.
.”
First, both live threads and parasites are contagious. However, one relies on parasitism and the other relies on infection. Second, they cannot be detected by expulsion. Expulsion is the perception of negative energy in the human body. Since
The expulsion spell cannot be detected, so in a sense, the positive effect of living threads and parasites on the human body is greater than the negative effect. Third, based on the second point, the parasite can feed back the parasite, making its body stronger.
Powerful, those infected by living threads can also possess perceptions that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"These are the three common points on the surface. In addition, the creatures in the nightmare world more or less have a kind of...absurdity that is difficult for ordinary people to understand." Sanders did not explain what absurdity is, but Angel
But he understood immediately.
Whether it was the Rabbit Gentleman, the Poker Soldier, or the various nightmare creatures he encountered when he first tested his talent, Angel was often in a trance, as if he had seen an absurd fantasy drama.
"When you look at people who are infected by parasites and people who are infected by living threads, you will find that there is a strange absurdity between them."
Sanders' words made Angel unconsciously recall the situation in Daredevil City.
In the thick fog, all kinds of parasites in the Night Demon City sang about the moonlight, the Queen and Sharapova, twisting their limbs on the street, like funny clowns.
Thinking again about the people they saw infected by the living thread before, they had different expressions, just like puppets controlled by a puppet master, performing bizarre performances on the stage built by the puppet master.
Indeed, people infected with live threads also have a sense of absurdity.
Although none of what Sanders mentioned could be proved as empirical evidence, Angel was convinced by his mental evidence.
Maybe the living thread really comes from creatures from the nightmare world?
Sanders: "Based on the premise that it comes from creatures from the nightmare world, there are only three possibilities for them to remain active without the breath of the nightmare world: improvement, evolution and adaptation."
The creatures of the nightmare world cannot remain unchanged. It is possible that they have improved the living thread so that the living thread does not rely on the breath of the nightmare world. Of course, it is also possible that they have evolved or adapted to the environment of the wizarding world.
No matter which one it is, it is not good news for them.
…
Angel found nothing, so he was about to hand the leaf back to Sanders, but Sanders did not take it, but motioned for him to give it directly to the tree spirit.
However, just after Angel handed the leaf back to the tree spirit, Greya beside him suddenly said "Hey".
"Wait." Greya stepped forward and looked at the leaves in the tree spirit's hands carefully.
When everyone was confused, Grea said: "Your Excellency Shuling, can you give this living thread to Angel again?"
Greya's words were strange, and others did not understand what he meant. The tree spirit squinted his eyes and noticed something. He nodded: "Okay."
Angel took the leaf again in confusion.
Greya observed the moving threads on the leaves again, and her brows furrowed: "Hey, something is wrong. It was obviously not like this just now..."
Angel looked at the live thread in his hand. He didn't find anything strange. Just when he was about to ask Greya, the tree spirit suddenly said: "You switch to your right hand to pick it up."
Now Angel was holding the leaf with his left hand. At the reminder of the tree spirit, he placed the leaf in his right hand.
"Has the movement of this living thread slowed down?"
Following Greya's reminder, everyone's attention turned to the living thread. Before, whether in the hands of Sanders or the tree spirit, this living thread kept twisting, seeming to be struggling to escape from the leaves.
shackles.
But now, when the live thread is on Angel's right hand, its twisting is obviously slow, and sometimes it even doesn't move for a long time.
This is obviously wrong!
Angel himself also discovered it at this time.
However, Angel was more concerned about, or admired, Grea than the abnormality in the living thread. He had been holding the leaf with his left hand until the last moment, when Sanders asked him to hand it to the tree spirit.
, he changed the blade from his left hand to his right hand for the first time, and then handed it to the tree spirit. It probably only took a second or two, but Greya successfully captured the abnormal movement of the live thread.
Angel sighed in his heart. Although his strength was now approaching and even surpassing that of the disembodied Greia, he was still far behind in observing many details.
