After waiting for a while, there was still no response.
Angel spoke again: "Are you really not going to come out?"
Angel began to use words to seduce him, saying things like "I'm going to leave if you don't come out", "I'm going to start counting down", "3, 2, 1... I'll count down one more time, the last time".
But no matter what he said, he recited "Countdown" back and forth several times, but there was still silence around him.
Angel sighed and muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity that I didn't cheat."
Then he turned back and looked at everyone: "Let's go, let's continue."
After speaking, Angel turned around without hesitation and continued walking forward.
Looking at Angel's back, everyone looked at each other in confusion.
"Have you discovered the wood spirit, sir?" Vai asked with some confusion.
"Didn't he say that he didn't fake it, so it must be..." When Doakes said 'certainly', Angel's various deeds in Princess Town came to mind. This kind of person with a bad mind,
It seems possible to turn the truth into a lie.
Moreover, along the way, Angel rarely did meaningless things. If the action just now was just for acting, wouldn't it be a bit too loud?
Thinking of this, Doakes took back his firm words and changed his words: "It should be false, it should be."
Vai thought for a moment and looked at Kael.
They seem to be in the prison ladder, but in fact it is just an illusion created by Angel. Even if the wood spirit really appears, as long as Angel does not change the illusion, they will not be able to see the wood spirit. Of course, the wood spirit can also see it.
Can't reach them.
The only person present who entered the prison ladder with Angel was Kael. Therefore, if they wanted to know the situation at the scene, apart from Angel himself, Kael was the best channel.
However, Kael was also a little confused at this time.
Seeing Vai looking at him, Kael also looked confused and said: "I didn't see anything. Is the wood spirit really here?"
Kael also had no accurate information, so only the Wise Lord present knew the inside story. However, Vai did not dare to ask the Wise Lord, so he could only secretly give Doakes a look to signal him to ask.
However, before Doakes could reply to his "hint", the voice of the Black Earl came from next to him: "If it is true, he will find a way to let the wood spirit come out; if it is false, then there is no need to discuss it."
No. Keep reading and you will find out."
After the words fell, the Black Earl took the lead to leave the place, followed Angel's footsteps, and stepped into the depths of silence.
The Black Earl said so, so naturally the others had no choice but to obey and follow suit.
The wise master was the last one to leave. He looked at the dark void with doubts in his eyes. Just now, he really believed Angel, because Angel's expression at that time did not look like he was acting.
But later, Angel's words "I didn't lie" made him confused.
Yes, even the Wise Lord is stuck with the same problem as Vai.
Although he can sense the situation inside the prison ladder through the magic energy array, his special student, the wood spirit, has a higher hidden talent than everyone imagined.
Even a wise man cannot confirm the location of the wood spirit.
Therefore, whether Angel was performing just now, or whether he really found the wood spirit and called him out, the wise master was actually not sure. However, from his perspective, it didn't look like Angel was telling lies just now.
But the other party gave up and left so decisively, which made the wise master also feel suspicious.
However, what confused the wise master even more was not whether the words he just said were true or false, but Angel himself.
"Behaving strangely, carrying secrets, possessing all abilities and skills... He is not more than forty years old." The wise master silently recited these labels in his heart. What is the purpose of such a person?
Angel can even be called a "variable" in his mind.
According to the script he set, this group of people will definitely enter the legacy, but they will offend the goddess and finally flee in panic. When the time comes, the wise master will save them, except of course the nose whose identity is definitely doubtful.
Then, through the grace of saving lives, they learned about the internal situation of the legacy from their mouths, and found out the secret of the goddess.
As for what happens next, the wise master doesn't care. You can kill them, or you can erase their memories of being here, and then let them go. After all, the Noah family is also a powerful family now. If they discover the secrets here, they will attract
Their peeps, their size and connections alone are enough to make the dormant Naraku City drink a big pot.
In order to avoid trouble, the wise master will not let the situation here spread. Therefore, killing or erasing the memory are both options. Which one to choose, the wise master will consider the current situation and the attitude of this group of people.
choose.
However, these are the script processes set by the wise master before. Now, he is a little hesitant.
All the reasons lie in Angel.
Angel is definitely not a descendant of Noah, but the energy behind him is definitely not simple, and may even exceed that of the Noah family.
It is very strange for such a person to come here. What is even more strange is that every move he makes always ends up in a place that the wise master would never expect.
This is a variable, a variable that may drastically change the outcome.
Such a variable is not necessarily bad.
According to the concept dominated by wise men in the past, even if this variable is not bad, he will eliminate it. Variables are variables, disrupting his planning process, and even if there is an unexpected gain, he cannot let it go.
But after tens of thousands of years of perseverance, the idea of being dominated by wise men began to change.
Sticking to the rules is for the sake of stability, but if you want to burst out innovations that combine inspiration, what you need is not stability, but change.
He has maintained this stability for thousands of years, but has gained nothing. Not only does Naraku lose hope of revival, but he is increasingly declining.
He can wait for ten thousand years, but he cannot wait for the next ten thousand years. It is not that he is not patient enough, but that this life's journey is almost reaching its end.
Therefore, he needs to change. Only by changing may he be able to change the current situation of decline.
He wanted to find out the truth about the place left behind, explore the secret of the goddess, and also wanted to ask for change.
It's just that the "change" he is seeking now still does not deviate from his script. Because the pursuit of stability that he has cultivated for thousands of years has penetrated into his heart, his changes are like: seeking change in stability.
But can this change really meet his expectations?
Perhaps, it is time to consider more radical "changes".
However, will this young supernova bring changes to this lifeless Naraku City?
"Observe again, observe again..." The wise master muttered in his heart and set foot on the road to the void again.
…
Not only the wise master is observing, Doakes has also been observing Angel.
He always felt that Angel would not do some meaningless things for no apparent reason. Since Angel said that there was a "little guy" watching in secret, if this was true, he would definitely take action next.
Doakes thought that Angel might have been checking and confirming the location of the "little guy". After confirming the location, he unexpectedly penetrated the opponent's location and forced him out.
However, the more he observed, the more doubtful Doakes became.
Angel was quite fast and had no intention of stopping at all. It really looked like he was leaving the prison ladder instead of looking for the wood spirit.
Moreover, Angel never showed any intention of exploring the surroundings from beginning to end, and kept looking forward firmly.
Although Doakes doesn’t know whether Angel is secretly using his mental power to explore the surroundings, if he wants to investigate, mental power alone is not enough. Some things cannot be seen with the naked eye, but can be perceived with mental power; but there are some things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
Things that may not be detected with mental power, but can be seen with the naked eye.
Maybe the wood spirit is the latter, or there may even be both the former and the latter.
Therefore, in Doakes' view, Angel should not have gone to investigate secretly. He was really "in a hurry" to leave.
"Did I guess wrong again?... Why did I say 'again'?"
While Doakes was confused, Kael walked over to Angel.
"Sir, we are about to reach the exit. Shall we leave like this?"
Kael originally wanted to ask if he wanted to look for the wood spirit again, but he remembered that he had only asked once before, so he was embarrassed to ask again, so he could only express it tactfully.
"We've come this far, we must leave."
When Angel said this, he paused and continued: "But before leaving, I'd better go see the wood spirit."
When Kael heard the previous words, he originally thought that Angel had given up, but as he finished the next half of the sentence, Kael suddenly raised his head.
"Mu Ling? Sir, have you discovered the wood spirit?"
Angel smiled mysteriously: "I told a lie, do you believe it?"
Kael: "..."
Angel: "We're almost there, let's go and take a look."
Angel patted Kael on the shoulder and motioned for him to follow him.
Kael was stunned for a moment, nodded, followed Angel, and walked forward.
Others also heard Angel's words, but they were very calm now. Mainly because Angel seemed to be playing with their mentality.
They couldn't tell whether it was true or false. Just like the Black Earl said, they could just see it with their eyes.
If Angel heard their voices at this time, he would most likely be very aggrieved. As an "anchor", isn't it his job to create suspense, ups and downs, and a fascinating and exciting plot?
He worked so hard to perform, but it turned out to be thankless. He was also labeled as "playing with their mentality", which made him feel aggrieved.
However, it is difficult to say whether he is truly aggrieved or just pretending.
Of course, it was fortunate that Angel did not know what they were thinking and did not express his grievances with his mouth. Otherwise, the mentality of others would probably collapse again.
…
The "almost there" Angel said is really almost here this time.
Kael only followed Angel for about twenty meters before stopping. He looked at his surroundings and found that this was the fork where the left and right roads had previously separated.
"Sir, are the wood spirits around here?"
Kael looked around suspiciously. There were no ruins nearby, and he couldn't find anything unusual. If he really wanted to hide, he could only hide in the quiet void.
But, is the wood spirit really in the void? If it is in the void, how did Angel discover it?
Angel said "hmm" and then closed his eyes, seeming to enter a state of perception.
Kael didn't dare to disturb Angel, and he didn't know if he should also sense the surrounding situation... but he was afraid that if he sensed it, the wood spirit would be scared away.
Kael looked at Doakes with pleading eyes.
Doakes: "Since Kim didn't stop you, you are completely free to do whatever you want."
After a pause, Doakes added: "By the way, if you find any abnormalities, please tell us as soon as possible."
Angel seemed to have no intention of explaining, so Doakes could only pin his hopes on Kael.
However, Kael was aware of his mental power, searched around, and even used the power of space, but he still found no abnormality nearby.
After a while, Kael gave up in frustration.
Everyone can probably imagine this result. After all, the Black Earl has not discovered any trace of the wood spirit. Kael is just an apprentice, and the possibility of discovering the wood spirit is extremely slim.
However, although this result is not surprising, if the wood spirit is really here and everyone already knows the location of the wood spirit but still can't find it, then this would be really scary.
This kind of concealment ability is simply miraculous... The coward's self-cultivation to reach this level is worthy of admiration.
There was no way to get news from Kael, and Doakes couldn't count on Angel, who still had his eyes closed, so he could only focus on the wise master.
However, the wise master had no intention of speaking at all, and all eyes were focused on Angel.
For the wise master, he didn't know whether the wood spirit was nearby. But what he knew was that Angel's position at this moment was quite special.
This is the center left by the goddess here.
Before, Angel broke open the oil painting left here by the goddess. At that time, he could still use seeing the oil painting as a reason. But now, what reason should he use to explain that he just happened to step into the center?
The wise master has begun to guess in his mind what is the relationship between Angel and the goddess. Is he here for the goddess?
If so, are he and the goddess friends or enemies?
The wise man had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but what he didn't know was that his speculation was actually wrong from the beginning.
Angel has nothing to do with the so-called goddess. In fact, Angel doesn't even know who this goddess is. The reason why he came to this fork in the road was actually not a temporary decision. When he came back from the left fork in the road, he already had it in his mind.
Start delineating the location where the wood spirit may appear.
At that time, Angel had two ranges in his mind. The first range was at the end of the road on the right, that is, in the room with the vine sculpture. Because at that time, there were two coordinates that resonated with the cane, one on the left.
The other one is in the room at the end of the right road. The void on the left has been determined and is a very dangerous place. It is impossible for the wood spirit to go to the left anyway, so only the coordinates of the right are left.
However, when Angel went to the room at the end of the right road, he did not find the wood spirit, only the vine sculpture left by the wood spirit there.
At that time, Angel already understood that the thing that resonated with the cane was probably the vine sculpture.
Since the coordinates of the left and right roads are both wrong, Angel can almost be sure that the location of the wood spirit must be in the second range.
