As soon as Angel finished speaking, Doakes's eyes lit up again.
If the memory in the old stone is less than a thousand years old, then even if it is a torrent of memory, it should not be too turbulent? I should be able to hold it, right?
Thinking of this, Doakes quickly approached Angel. This time he did not gesture with his hands, but directly broke through the silence seal set by the Black Earl, and asked: "If it is only less than a thousand years,
So with my physical fitness, I should be able to adapt, right?"
"Of course." Angel nodded and looked at Doakes: "That's why I asked you if you wanted to try it first."
Doakes was overjoyed and wanted to nod subconsciously, but as he spoke, he suddenly hesitated. Especially when he looked at Angel's calm and indifferent appearance, a sense of danger slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
rise.
Although Angel didn't show too much initiative, his inaction gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Doakes hesitated a little.
After thinking for a long time, Doakes finally swallowed back the words "Leave it, let me do it" in his throat.
Angel has too much "black history" here, and he has a premonition of danger in his heart. Regardless of whether inspiration has played a role, it is better to be cautious.
On the other side, Angel looked at Doakes's hesitant and retreating look. He remained calm on the surface, but he sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, wanting to trick Doakes is always a problem.
It's a very difficult thing...
While Angel was sighing silently, Kael suddenly said: "I seem to have read a document. In a seminar where memory is the essence of life, when they defined memory, they included emotions and feelings.
According to this definition, if memories can be recorded, then the emotions contained in them should also be included in the category of memory, right?"
"In this case, if the memories recorded in the old stone are actually not good, and may even be dominated by extreme emotions, will the person holding the old stone also be affected by such negative emotions?"
The question raised by Kael instantly attracted everyone's attention.
If what Kael said is true, then there is a big problem with the memory recorded by Lao Shi!
Angel took a deep look at Kael, then nodded and said: "Lao Shi's 'alive' characteristic includes the theories of that school, so you are right, it will indeed be affected to a certain extent.
.”
Not only will it be affected, but recording a large number of memories in a short period of time will also cause confusion in your thinking. In the chaotic memory, you may even lose yourself, which means your personality will be shaken.
At that time, you may have doubts about yourself.
The classic question - "Who am I?" will also become an overflowing question in the chaotic memory.
This may sound a bit exaggerated, but in reality the situation may be more serious.
For example, Angel read a novel on the theme of time travel on a holographic tablet. After time travel into other people, there will often be a scene where the memories of the original person and the person who traveled through time merge.
This kind of plot is always brushed aside in novels, taking the perspective of the time traveler and taking in all the memories.
However, is there another possibility here: the time traveler actually died during the time travel, and the memory without the master's personality flowed to a different world, and finally merged with the original body in the other world. The original body is still the original body,
The original person had a completely independent personality, but was affected by the memory of the time traveler and mistakenly thought he was a time traveler. In fact, his personality had not changed at all, but was affected by the memory, creating the illusion.
Although this is a conjecture, if there are too many memories in the old stone and the emotions contained are too deep, it may indeed lead to self-confusion.
It can be said that this is the biggest drawback of Lao Shi. It will have a certain impact on all cognitions including values, world view and outlook on life.
But what Angel didn't expect was that Kael would be the first to discover the hidden dangers of the old stone.
In fact, Kael did not think of this level out of thin air. Before this, everyone showed their true appearance when they signed a mantra book contract with the wise master. Among them, behind Kael's true appearance,
An abnormal silhouette suddenly appeared. Although everyone, including the wise master, said that this was not a big problem, most likely it was some residual soul unconsciously attached to Kael, and it would not have any impact.
But they looked at the problem from the perspective of bystanders, so they were more calm and objective. As a person involved, Kael was actually not as calm as they imagined. He was quite concerned about this strange silhouette.
.
Moreover, what Doakes said before makes sense. Kael's character and behavior are actually a little strange. He is obviously an academic who loves research, and he should be an otaku like Vai. But while he loves research, he is also passionate about research.
Two hobbies go hand in hand with exploring various relics, and the nature of these two hobbies is completely opposite.
From Doakes' point of view, this was really a bit of a contrast, maybe it was influenced by the remnant soul of the figure behind him.
Kael didn't feel anything before, but after hearing what Doakes said, he thought about it carefully and realized that he had indeed spent too much time exploring the ruins. The cost he paid was completely out of proportion to his own income, but he was
He wants to explore the ruins. And no matter what the ruins are, as soon as he hears about them, he is eager to explore them.
Including this time, Kael was very excited when he learned that there was a secret and unexplored "ruin" under the garden maze.
It was as if there was a kind of magic force driving Kael to do this.
This is very abnormal.
Therefore, Kael was actually thinking about whether his character and behavior were really affected by the memory of the remnant soul along the way.
With this as a premise, when Kael heard the effect of the old stone, he immediately thought of himself, and immediately thought about the relationship between the memories, emotions, and personalities recorded by the old stone.
Only then did he ask.
After Kael pointed out the hidden dangers of Lao Shi, Doakes on the side breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, he did not choose to try impulsively... If it was really because of Lao Shi
The memory inside caused his own personality to change, so he really suffered a big loss.
Thinking of this, Doakes looked at Angel with eyes full of resentment. As expected, this guy is just unkind, typical of white and black, and full of bad and bad ideas!
Angel ignored Doakes's eyes and brought the topic back to the mask.
"You should still remember the words of the wise master. He said he would give us a surprise. If this is an unused old stone, it would indeed be a big surprise. But the used old stone has even been carved into a mask. This
Is it considered a surprise?" Angel shook his head and asked himself: "I personally think it is not."
"If this is not a surprise, then what is his so-called surprise?"
Angel's question also made everyone think.
Vai: "We only got this mask so far. If there is a surprise, we might still have to look for it from the mask... Since the adults said that Lao Shi is not a surprise, will the memory inside be a surprise?"
In fact, not only Vai was thinking about this idea, Angel also thought about it, but——
"If memory is a surprise, Doakes will not refuse it." Angel answered seriously, not even thinking that there was something wrong with his words.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Angel had just "suggested" Doakes to wear a mask twice in a row. He was using Doakes' inspiration as a tester... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is a little bit of it.
Logically speaking, Doakes would refuse because he probably felt the danger. Even he felt the danger, so this memory is really of no use.
Doakes also reacted, but his heart was already numb at this time... Ha, man.
"If the memory and the mask are not surprises, then why did they leave the mask behind?" Vai wondered.
Moreover, it was still three tests... No, it was two tests that allowed them to get three broken masks. Wasn't it meant for them to piece them together?
Since they are asked to piece together the mask, it means that the mask must have meaning. But, what exactly is this meaning?
No one can answer this question at present, so I can only sigh and ignore it.
"Actually, what I'm more concerned about is why the little girl in the bunny suit left immediately. It was clearly Angel's turn, and she was even staring straight at Angel!" Doakes
It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with this. Even though the Black Earl had warned him before, he brought up the old matter again, "Anyway, I always feel that something is wrong here."
Doakes tried to bring the topic to Angel, but Angel didn't care at all because he really didn't know the specific situation.
Not to mention that Doakes was confused, Angel himself wanted an answer.
"It's useless to think about it now. Since you have already obtained the mask, just treat it as a surprise. The specific situation should be known after meeting the wise master." Angel said as he took the mask away.
Throw it, prepare to throw it to Doakes.
But Doakes just dodged his figure and avoided the mask. At the same time, his eyes showed suspicion, with an expression of "You are trying to trick me again."
Angel really didn't want to trick Doakes this time. He just saw that Doakes took the initiative to give him the mask fragments for identification, so it was appropriate to return the mask to him. As for the two extra fragments, Black
The count doesn't care, and neither does Angel, so there's no harm in leaving it to Doakes.
However, Doakes seemed to have already had a stress reaction. He was not even willing to make a judgment and directly resisted any of Angel's tricks.
Angel shook his head and did not explain. Instead, he summoned the magic hand and let the magic hand hold the mask. He would hand over the mask after determining how to distribute it.
After doing all this, Angel stretched himself and said: "We have stopped here for a long time, and it is time to continue on the road."
Only this time, they stopped before taking a few steps.
Because in the space directly in front of them, an abnormal sense of light suddenly appeared.
This abnormal light sensation is like the firelight that has been burned to some deformation when a blazing flame is burning.
If an abnormality occurs for no reason, there must be something wrong.
"Isn't the previous relay test over yet?" Doakes looked at the strange light and murmured in a low voice: "Could it be like the previous duel, the formal wizard's test has passed, and now it's the apprentice's turn? Wise man
Isn’t the Lord too idle?”
It's the apprentice's turn?! Hearing this, Kael and Vai looked at each other. Aren't they just making up the numbers? Do they really have to go through a test?
When they were feeling extremely uneasy, the abnormal sense of light took on a new change.
The halo exploded, shooting out countless rays of light.
These rays of light are not in a mess, but are intersecting very regularly.
Under the intersection of a large amount of light, a prism composed of light and shadow appeared directly in front of them. Countless prisms were combined together to form a prism plane full of geometric beauty.
The moment the prism plane appeared, everyone could vaguely see a pattern spreading on it.
It's like there is an invisible painter using this collection of prisms as a drawing board to outline the painting.
As the lines continue to extend, fill, and become complete, finally, the lines present a human-shaped outline in the prism.
It was a girl with long silver-white hair wearing a heavy costume. Her hair was very, very long, not only past her waist, but even more than half of it was hanging at her feet. Her hair was spread out like a fountain of splashing mercury.
.
The girl's face was pale and colorless, and her lips were so pink that they almost lost their color. If it weren't for her long eyelashes and slightly shadowed nose, which highlighted her three-dimensional facial features, it would have been possible for her to be mistaken for a faceless person.
But even so, the silver-haired girl didn't look like a real person. With the regular geometric patterns of the prism, she looked like a fragile porcelain doll hidden behind the mirror.
The sudden appearance of this young girl made everyone confused and wary.
The doubt lies in whether she is related to the three previous "question makers". The vigilance lies in the fact that the girl appears...in the mirror.
Since they learned the truth about the Mirror Demon, they have maintained a high degree of vigilance against all mirrors in the underground waterways. Even if it is a mirror of light in the air, there is no exception.
Under the attention of everyone, the girl opened her eyes.
It is worth mentioning that her eyes have very rare heterochromatic pupils.
One side has green pupils, and the other side has orange pupils.
With her heterochromatic eyes and her dress and appearance, she looks more like a porcelain doll carved from porcelain.
After the girl opened her eyes, she was still in the prism and did not move from "nothingness" to "reality". However, her voice reached everyone's ears through the prism.
