After Graipnir completely disappeared, Angel turned to look at Laplace beside him: "We have nothing to do until the Ancient Tooth Fairy arrives. How about you inherit the power now?"
?”
When he was in Rabbit Mountain before, Angel had already negotiated the matter of power with Laplace and understood Laplace's request. However, Angel needed to refine a mirror at that time to bear the burden of passing the power.
After completing the passage to Rabbit Mountain, we did not come to Dream Crystal Plains with Laplace immediately.
Now that he has some free time, Angel has asked this question.
Hearing Angel's question, Laplace was obviously moved. However, Laplace glanced to the south and finally shook his head: "Don't be busy now, wait a moment."
"Are you waiting for Luigi?" From Laplace's expression, it was not difficult to guess what she was thinking.
Laplace nodded: "Let's wait until Luigi comes out. Although I don't know much about the power of power, since it can become the underlying rule of the Dream Crystal, once it appears in the world, it may also affect other people."
power.”
Luigi is still in a copy under the power of Dreamland, and Laplace is worried that when she inherits the power, it will affect Luigi.
Angel originally wanted to say "It won't affect each other," but he thought about it and still didn't say anything. The so-called "won't affect" was just what he summed up based on his experience in the Wilderness of Dreams.
The wilderness is different. There is no "copy" like Dreamland in the Wilderness of Dreams. Angel can't predict the future, so everything is really uncertain.
Laplace's worries are possible.
"What you're thinking makes sense. Let's wait until Luigi comes out." Angel paused: "It's okay now anyway. Do you want to see the dungeon where Luigi is?"
Laplace thought for a moment and did not refuse.
According to Grapnir, it has been more than three hours since Luigi entered the double-storey attic, and there is still no news and no idea what is going on inside.
If it was a special dream like Circus Sunshine, Luigi might have been imprisoned if he didn't show up for such a long time. However, Luigi didn't go offline to ask for help, so there is a high probability that it won't be like a circus.
"Interesting and challenging" special dream.
Perhaps it was similar to the special dream of "Helen's Dream" she encountered before.
As Angel said, we still have to wait for Gleipnir to invite the Ancient Tooth Fairy anyway, so going to take a look now is just a way to pass the time.
They didn't walk to the double loft like Luigi did.
Although the double-story loft is only more than ten miles away from them, why waste time and effort when you can change the entry position using the offline and online lines.
Therefore, Laplace and Angel went offline directly.
When they came online again, they were already near the double-storey loft.
When Angel looked at this double-story attic before, he only looked at it from a God's perspective and didn't really take a closer look. Now, when he looked up close, he realized that this double-story attic was so...shabby.
The door covered with iron sheets, the broken windows covered with old newspapers, the mottled walls that could fall off at any time, and the dust and stones scattered on the ground all silently tell the story of the dilapidation of this double-story attic.
.
The cloudy sky could provide some protection before, but now the dungeon is open, and the dim light shrouds the double-story attic. Under the light, the stains are fully visible.
Neither Angel nor Laplace cared about the dilapidation of the attic. What they cared about was what kind of story was hidden in the dilapidated attic, and what was Luigi going through at this time?
Angel turned to Laplace and said, "You wait outside first... It's best to stay away from this attic. I'll go over and take a look."
Laplace nodded, she understood what Angel meant.
Special dreams have different abilities, and there are many special dreams that you will be pulled into if you approach them.
Think about "Circus of the Suns". After they cleared the level, they directly started recruiting from all over the world. The so-called "whole territory" refers to the entire Dream Crystal Plains. Circus of the Suns has this large-scale recruiting mechanism.
, maybe this double-story loft is the same.
They came to see how Luigi was doing, not to accompany Luigi through the obstacles.
Therefore, what should be avoided should still be avoided.
Laplace retreated fifty meters in a row. He originally planned to stop, but after thinking about it again, he still felt uneasy, so he retreated another fifty meters. It wasn't until he was a hundred meters away that he faced Angel in the distance.
Nod.
Angel:……
This is too far back!
Angel originally wanted to just retreat about fifteen meters, but when something went wrong, he took Laplace and left directly.
Unexpectedly, Laplace was so...cautious.
It can only be said that the events surrounding Cirque du Soleil left such a deep impression on Laplace that he already felt a bit frightened.
Compared to Laplace's scruples, Angel was not too afraid. After all, he could control Dreamland with the power tree.
Without hesitation, and with a few big steps, Angel approached the low-light mask in front of the attic.
After activating the power tree, Angel let his thoughts sink into the dilapidated double-story attic.
…
Angel's feeling at this moment was the same as when he observed Helen's dream.
His perspective is not the perspective of God, but the perspective of the box garden. Angel stood outside the box garden, quietly peeping at the miniature box garden placed in the "light mask".
The core scene in the small garden is also a double-story attic, which is as dilapidated as the outside world.
The only difference is that there are people inside and outside this double-storey loft.
Inside the double-story attic, there was a middle-aged man wearing a plaid felt hat. He was sitting in front of the window on the second floor, playing the piano as if there was no one else around.
The sound of the piano is very beautiful and elegant, but the notes floating in this shabby and dusty attic have a sense of being scattered like a crane and a piano.
Regardless of the environment, the playing level of the middle-aged man is already very high.
It's enough to support the head pianist of a large theater.
Anyway, Angel is sure that he can't compare to this middle-aged man. His playing level is probably at the same level as Jon. The only difference is that Jon's emotions are as full and passionate as the notes when he plays.
He can be passionate when he is lyrical, and he can also enjoy lyricism when he is lyrical; but this middle-aged man has a high level of playing the piano, but his emotions are not high.
There are complex emotions hidden in the elegant music. These emotions are not brought about by the music, but are possessed by the man himself.
He plays the piano not to perform, but simply to vent these emotions. However, the more he vents, the more complicated these emotions become.
It was because of the sound of the piano that my emotions calmed down, but because of the music, my emotions rose up.
His complicated emotions were like a knot that was constantly tangled and inextricable.
On the other side, outside the attic, Angel saw Luigi.
He held an old harp in his hand and strummed it gently. At certain syllables, it would suddenly rise up, as if in response to the middle-aged man's harp.
Angel didn't know what was going on now, and Luigi was playing in a state of selflessness. Angel couldn't be disturbed, so he could only look around, and then exited from the perspective of the small garden.
When Laplace saw Angel open his eyes, he immediately asked about the situation in the attic.
Angel spread his hands and explained the situation in a helpless tone.
"One is playing the piano and the other is playing the harp?" Laplace frowned: "Did Luigi take the initiative to play?"
Laplace wondered if Luigi had fallen into the trap.
Angel understood what Laplace meant and shook his head: "At least for now, Luigi should be taking the initiative to play. He seems to want to rely on the notes of the harp to untie the knot in the middle-aged man's heart.
"
"I guess this may be the theme of this special dream."
Laplace: "You mean, a duel of music?"
Angel: "Absolutely. It could be a duel, a confrontation, or just an ordinary conversation."
After a pause, Angel looked at Laplace: "Do you want to continue watching the situation on Luigi's side? If you want to continue, I can live broadcast the scene inside through the illusion."
Laplace thought for a while and nodded. She wanted to see with her own eyes what Luigi was doing. Is it really a musical duel as Angel said?
Soon, Angel re-entered the perspective of the Little Garden. At the same time, he was distracted and used illusions to show the situation in the Little Garden through the power of changing celestial phenomena.
Laplace also saw Luigi's situation at this time.
If it was as Angel said, Luigi closed his eyes, sat cross-legged next to the attic, and strummed the harp from time to time, seeming to match the sound of the piano.
Luigi didn't speak, and the middle-aged man was also immersed in himself.
The entire special dream was like a prolonged musical mime.
However, Laplace could see that Luigi was indeed not forced, he should be taking the initiative to cater to the sound of the piano.
This shows that Angel's guess is most likely correct, and this is a musical duel.
Time passed little by little, and although the sounds of the piano and harp were both melodious, Laplace was a little tired of listening to them because of the emotional asymmetry.
Moreover, counting the time, Greipnir might have arrived at the Tooth Fairy Ancient Ruins. She should also go offline and mentally synchronize with Greipnir.
Thinking of this, Laplace was ready to ask Angel to stop the fantasy live broadcast.
However, before Laplace could speak, the scene in the attic changed.
The middle-aged man finally stopped playing the piano. He placed his hands heavily on the keys, and there was a heavy sound.
After a long time, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh.
As he sighed, the entire attic came to a complete standstill, as if the pause button of a movie had been pressed.
"Is this time standing still?" Laplace whispered. There was interest in her eyes, and her original intention to go offline was temporarily extinguished.
Angel: "I don't know, but even if time stops, only the attic will stop. Luigi can still move."
Laplace looked in the direction of Luigi in the illusion, and sure enough, the color of Luigi's place, including himself, was vivid, completely different from the static attic next to him.
Laplace: "Luigi has stopped playing. Now it's time to ask him what this special dream is all about."
In fact, Angel had already started contacting Luigi without Laplace's reminder.
When Luigi heard Angel's voice, he was only slightly surprised and then calmed down.
"You ask me what I'm doing now?" Luigi scratched his temples: "Actually, I don't know. I'm just following the instructions from Wonderland."
"Wonderland prompt? What prompt?"
Luigi didn't hide anything, and told everything that happened after he entered the dungeon.
"Uriel's Choice" is indeed a type of copy that they have never seen before.
It requires neither killing nor decryption, nor challenge... This copy is more like a specialized copy.
This kind of specialization is only for people who know music and understand art.
Luigi never entered the attic after entering "Uriel's Choice". He also tried to touch the attic, but he was bounced back every time.
It was as if the space where the attic was located and the space where he was located were two completely different time and spaces.
Determined that there was no way to enter the double-story attic, Luigi could only wander around the perimeter to see if there were any other clues.
Then, he saw a broken wooden box leaning against the door.
Just when he was about to open the wooden box and take a look, he got his first hint of wonderland.
This prompt asks Luigi to choose an instrument.
Luigi chose the harp without hesitation.
Then, a harp appeared in the broken wooden box.
The moment Luigi touched the harp, a new wonderland prompt came again:
"The special dream "Uriel's Choice" is about to start the main mission - please use the musical instrument in your hand to untie the knot in Uriel's heart."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Failure will reload the main mission."
"There is no limit to the number of times the main mission can be loaded, but you will not be able to enter the attic before completing the main mission."
"Only after all main tasks are completed can you leave the current dreamland."
From the prompts in Wonderland, it is not difficult to see that this is a mandatory series of tasks. The first task is to use the harp to play music to unlock Uriel.
Now, Luigi is on his first mission.
According to Luigi, he has challenged the main mission three times, but all ended in failure.
After each failure, the time in the attic will stop. When Luigi restarts the main mission, the time in the attic will flow back to before Uriel played the piano.
This is a cyclic challenge. If the knot in Uriel's heart is not untied, the next task prompt will not appear.
After listening to Luigi's words, Angel and Laplace were both speechless. They didn't expect that this special dream would be so weird.
Angel thought for a moment and asked Luigi: "Do you plan to continue challenging the main mission?"
Luigi said matter-of-factly: "Of course, how could I give up on such an interesting task. It's wonderful to think about using music to heal people's hearts."
After finishing speaking, Luigi seemed to have guessed what Angel wanted to say, and continued: "Don't worry about me, I just tried it. Although I can't leave the special dreamland, I can log off. I log off when I'm tired, but I
I’m not tired now, I plan to continue challenging this task!”
Seeing Luigi's enthusiastic expression, neither Angel nor Laplace said anything.
Perhaps in their opinion, this task is too boring and boring.
But for Luigi, this was more like a musical dialogue, musical therapy, and an opportunity for artistic fusion. He didn't feel bored, and was even very happy that he could meet his "close friend" here.
Even though this soulmate has not responded to Luigi so far, music is the bridge of communication.
Sometimes no words are worth cherishing more than words.
After confirming that Luigi was fine and planning to continue completing the mission, Angel and Laplace no longer care about him. Anyway, he can go offline freely without worrying about anything happening.
So, Angel withdrew his thoughts from the special dream, discussed it with Laplace, and then went offline.
…
After Angel's thoughts left the special dream, Luigi reactivated the main mission.
The time that stood still in the attic began to move backwards.
When rewinding to the beginning of the main mission, time returns to normal.
I saw the middle-aged man frowning and sitting in front of the piano with a worried look. He was silent for a minute and took out an invitation letter from the secret compartment under the piano.
This invitation does not have any name or other logo.
The only feature is the seal of the invitation, which is a red heart made of fire paint.
The middle-aged man looked at the invitation with a more complicated expression. Finally, he sighed and stuffed the invitation back into the piano's secret compartment.
Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man opened the piano cover and began to play the music distractedly.
Luigi outside the attic heard the harp music and immediately understood that the main mission had begun again. He changed into a comfortable position and gently plucked the harp strings.
The notes of the piano and harp gradually merge into each other while dancing...
