Laplace recounted some of the memories she saw in the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
It emphasizes "one man, one beast and half a city".
The so-called "one person" refers to a wizard who is suspected to be from the time system.
From the perspective of picture recording, it should come from the scene reflected by a water curtain hanging in the sky.
The water curtain may be a water-based dome, or it may be a sea of sky. Due to the angle, it is difficult to see the specific situation. However, the ground scene reflected through the water curtain can be clearly seen.
On the ground, there was a witch wearing a colorful cloak. She moved quickly on the treetops and quickly passed through a forest.
It's just that her movement is not the displacement that ordinary people see, but a strange shift.
Before every big step she takes, two phantoms will appear first.
For example, if she wants to go to a treetop five hundred meters away, she will first show a rainbow phantom a at the target point. This phantom a is stationary.
After phantom a appears, a rainbow phantom b will appear between phantom a and her body, which is about 250 meters away. Although phantom b also stays in place, it is dynamic, like
It's running.
Shortly after the two phantoms appeared, the cloaked witch teleported from where she was to the location of phantom A.
After the cloaked witch arrived at her destination, both phantoms disappeared.
Simply speaking, Angel did not see any clues about this movement, but Laplace was very sure that this was a kind of time ability.
What appears to be space-based teleportation is actually the use of time-based abilities.
She used Phantom A to simulate the position where she finally arrived at the target point, which is a "result"; she used Phantom B to simulate the scene when she moved, which is a "process".
After the movement process and results are established, the "event logic" is established; once she starts to move, the "time logic" is also established; if there is no problem with the representational logic, then the final "practical result" will definitely be successful, and this practical result
Just reaching the end point.
This creates a scene similar to space teleportation, but this is not teleportation, but an illusion that deceives the logic of time.
Although Laplace explained the situation in detail, Angel was confused and confused.
After talking about "one person", the second memory image Laplace mentioned was "one beast".
This beast refers to an unknown monster.
Its body shape is like a snake; but its specific appearance, including the pattern of patterns, whether it has scales or not, whether the shape of its head is triangular or oval... etc., Laplace did not see, because it has all the
There was a rainbow-like light that obscured the view.
This snake is very strange. It was seen by Laplace when he was looking at "Landscape".
At that time, Laplace did not specifically look for the special memory scene in the Sea of Empty Mirrors. Instead, he stared at a nearby scene in a daze. This scene had no characteristics, and it showed "the calm sea under the moonlight."
At first he thought it was just an ordinary picture, but suddenly, Laplace saw an illusory shadow above the sea. The shadow looked like a snake.
Just after Laplace stared at the somewhat illusory snake in the picture, the next second, the snake appeared next to Laplace.
Yes, the literal snake came near Laplace's body.
It emerged from the picture of the empty sea of mirrors, directly transformed from virtual reality into reality, and presented an entity in the mirror realm.
Laplace was shocked at that time. It was the first time she saw a creature jumping out of the picture.
After the snake appeared in the mirror realm, its appearance was still unclear, and its whole body was covered by rainbow light. After it appeared, it looked around.
It glanced at Laplace, and then at the sea of empty mirrors floating around it.
"It turns out that it was observed by the creatures in the Mirror Realm. No wonder it fell out of the time gap... The Sea of Empty Mirror is really dangerous, and there are actually creatures that can survive here."
"What a bad luck. Forget it, let's go back first."
The glowing snake muttered these two sentences to itself, then turned into a rainbow streamer and disappeared.
Laplace looked at the "calm sea under the moonlight" again, but he didn't find the shadow of the other party in the picture again.
This incident had a great impact on Laplace. She never thought that the person she was observing would pop out of the screen to face her... but it was also because the other person appeared next to Laplace in person, allowing her to capture it.
I sensed the other person’s breath.
Later, by chance, Laplace finally confirmed that the aura on the other party was...the power of time.
The above is the story of "One Beast".
It's just that when Angel heard the story of "one beast", he was even more confused than the story of "one person" before.
Moreover, Laplace was also vague in some places. For example, how did Laplace determine by chance that this was the power of time?
Laplace didn't want to go into details, so Angel naturally couldn't interfere, so he could only limit his thoughts to the story itself.
After thinking for a moment, Angel asked: "Are you sure that those two sentences are what it said?"
Laplace: "You can be sure that it is not a word, but a special kind of thought fluctuation."
After confirming that these two sentences were spoken by the glowing snake, Angel fell into thinking.
From the other party's words, we can capture two pieces of information: First, it seems to know the Mirror Realm and the Sea of Empty Mirrors. Second, it clearly mentioned that 'it has been observed'.
Judging from the meaning of the words, it seems that this snake fell out of the time gap because it was "observed".
As long as it is "observed", the characteristics will change.
This reminded Angel of a famous experiment on Earth that Jon once told...
In the end, Angel still didn't figure out what this ability of "being able to get away with in the time gap without being observed" was. His ability in the time system was still very vague, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
.
The example of "one man and one beast" described by Laplace earlier is actually quite outrageous, and the "half city" described at the end is even more outrageous.
Laplace didn't know where "Half the City" was.
The perspective of half the city comes from a glass installed on the top of the human city clock tower, because this clock tower only has one side of glass, and there is only one side facing the direction.
Therefore, the scene presented in the picture is only "half of the city" reflected in the glass.
But through this half of the city, Laplace saw a very strange scene.
At first, you will think that this is a very ordinary human city... or a small town, because there are no tall buildings. Looking at only half of the city, the tallest building is just a cathedral, and the highest part of the cathedral.
In fact, it is not as tall as the bell tower.
The other houses are very ordinary with red walls and white roofs.
The characteristics of the entire town are probably clean, tidy and mediocre.
But soon, the scene changed drastically: thick dark clouds suddenly floated in the clean sky, and then, a heavy downpour fell from the thick clouds and sprinkled on the small town.
As the heavy rain fell, this originally ordinary town began to change.
The rain was like a paintbrush painting lead dust. In the blink of an eye, the clean and tidy town was covered with thick moss, and the walls of the originally white houses began to show mottled marks.
The most obvious change was the towering church... its top collapsed.
There is no external force to damage the top of the church. Judging from the picture, there is only one reason for its collapse: aging.
It’s not just the churches and houses that are aging, but also the people living in the town!
It can be clearly seen from the picture that a young man was wiping dust off the external dial at the top of the clock tower. Under the heavy rain, his skin began to age and spots appeared on his body. In just a few seconds, it spanned time.
Diwei has become an old man who has gone through many vicissitudes of life.
After a few more seconds, the old man continued to age, and finally turned into a skinny corpse. Due to the weight loss, coupled with the strong wind and rain, the bones were blown off, and finally fell to the earth and turned into remains.
This scene is already very surprising, but what is even more surprising is that this heavy rain not only makes people age.
In fact, at the top of the clock tower, that is, outside the glass, there is not only the young guy wiping dust. There is also a middle-aged hunchbacked uncle standing on the edge of the clock tower.
He was originally directing the boy where to wipe.
But unexpectedly, a sudden heavy rain turned the young man into a skeleton.
The middle-aged hunchbacked man was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he collapsed directly on the ground. Fortunately, there was a handrail next to him, otherwise he would have fallen directly from the top of the tower.
The heavy rain was still falling, and the middle-aged hunchbacked man was actually exposed in the rain, but the amazing thing is that he did not age in the rain, but instead became younger.
In just a few seconds, the uncle's hunchback disappeared, he became taller, and his sallow skin became fair and elastic.
Soon, a young man who looked somewhat similar to the uncle appeared on the screen.
The heavy rain came as quickly as it could be heard, and it had begun to subside slowly.
But before the heavy rain stopped, the uncle was still getting younger. Youth is not the end. A few seconds later, he appeared like a teenager.
A few more seconds passed, until the heavy rain stopped, and the middle-aged hunchbacked uncle turned into a six or seven-year-old child. If he hadn't been wearing that oversized shirt, and if Laplace hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, no one would have imagined it.
A middle-aged person will return to his childhood in a few seconds.
This rain, just from the changes of these two people, seems to give people a pattern: the old will become young, and the young will become old.
But in fact this is not the case. There are also old men who turn into bones in the blink of an eye. Similarly, there are also children who turn into babies in the blink of an eye and eventually disappear, erasing all traces from the human world.
Therefore, this is not a regular rain. Its changes, as far as this "half city" is concerned, are completely random.
The only thing that is known is that this rain contains the unknown power of time. It blends into the city and changes the city...
This is the story of "Half City".
It can be said that this is the most outrageous among the "One Man, One Beast and Half a City", but it is also the most consistent with Angel's imagination of the power of time.
In the previous "man and one beast", Angel still needs Laplace to explain, or to think on his own, to understand the barrier of the power of time. But this "half city" directly demonstrates the power of time.
, not only changes the color of the earth and changes the buildings, but also causes irreversible growth and aging of the living people.
This is the power of time.
Although Angel can understand "Half City" best, the thing that scares him the most is "Half City".
Because according to the theory that the Black Earl told him before, this kind of direct change of external time cannot be done by at least ordinary wizards, nor can legendary wizards.
This time rainstorm is either the unknown miraculous wizard's method...or it may be the effect of a mysterious thing.
The reason why he speculates that it is related to mysterious things is because Angel knows that the Prophet's Temple houses a strategic-level mysterious city with a Hupa coefficient of 75, called the "City of Samsara".
This city of reincarnation has evolved from prosperity to destruction in three days. After three days, everything is reset, the destroyed things disappear, and all people and things will change to what they were three days ago.
Of course, this mysterious object is not just a three-day reincarnation on the surface. It can be used as a strategic mysterious object in the Prophet's Temple, and naturally has deeper effects.
But just talking about this superficial effect, we can know that this "city of reincarnation" must be related to the power of time.
And the rainstorm in "Half the City" represents both rebirth and destruction... If it is not the handiwork of the Miracle Wizard, it may be the work of a mysterious thing.
As for the source of the mysterious thing, Angel didn't know, but it might be... rain.
Mysterious things are never limited to their external appearance. It may be a city, a heartbeat, or even a ray, or a budding concept.
Since mysterious things can take on various forms, it might as well be heavy rain.
Of course, all this is Angel's guess.
However, having said that, there is another reason why Angel guessed that "Half City" is a mysterious thing, and that is that it is missing one point.
The person and beast in front all have the iconic rainbow light of the time system.
The phantom created by the cloaked witch exudes a strange rainbow light; and the snake that appears when observed also exudes a rainbow light... Angel remembers that Akers was in the cave arena,
The iridescent silk threads made and the rainbow pattern above the head are also rainbow light.
It seems that this strange iridescent light has become a symbol of the time system.
But in "Half the City", there was no such light at all.
But it is definitely impossible to say that the rain in the middle of the city has nothing to do with time. Such an obvious difference led Angel to make different guesses.
But regardless of whether this guess is correct or not, just by learning about the time system ability from Laplace's mouth, we can also see the magic of the time system.
Anyway, when Angel finally left the heart space, he was still immersed in the fantasy of the weird ability of the time system. Lewen
