Uriel's playing became more and more stable, and his expression became calmer.
Logically speaking, judging from the current situation, the results have become better, but Luigi has not relaxed at all, and is even more serious than before. It seems that in Luigi's view, the calm in front of him is just suppressing the upcoming crisis.
of storm.
In fact, Luigi's guess was correct.
Uriel's performance did not transition smoothly to the end. When it was about to reach the end, Uriel's mood suddenly became excited again.
His face was abnormally flushed, and veins appeared on his neck.
dong dong dong
Every stroke seemed to use all the strength of the whole body.
Such an excited mood is completely different from the previous calmness. If Luigi had been a little relaxed before, he would definitely be in a hurry now.
And once Luigi makes a mistake, it means that all previous performances will be in vain, and the main mission will inevitably fail.
However, Luigi's caution saved the crisis.
The soothing notes blended into the passionate sound of the piano, turning into a crisp wind that blew away the agitated thick fog; and turned into a pair of catkins, smoothing the excitement between Uriel's brows.
Slowly, a chorus emerged among the sounds of the piano, and with a gentle nocturne-like aftertaste, this conversation that could rise to the height of the soul ended.
With the ending sound, Luigi took a long breath and looked up at the attic window.
At this time, Uriel also stood up and looked at Luigi from a height.
Originally, the attic and the outside world were in two time and space, but at this moment, because the eyes of Luigi and Uriel met, the two time and space overlapped.
"The main mission 1 of the special dream "Uriel's Choice" using music to untie Uriel's heart knot has been completed."
"The attic space has been opened."
"After entering the attic, main mission 2 will begin."
The information flow appeared in front of Luigi's eyes, and Angel also displayed this information in the live broadcast room in a timely manner.
"Sure enough, the mission has more than one part." Gleipnir whispered.
Angel: “I just don’t know how difficult this main mission 2 will be.”
If the difficulty of Main Mission 2 is too high, Luigi may have to stay in the dungeon for a long time.
While they were wondering what Main Mission 2 was, Luigi had already strode to the door of the double-story attic. Previously, the door to the attic was blocked and completely inaccessible, but now the door was pushed gently.
was pushed away.
They could clearly see that the environment inside the attic was slightly messy, but they could tell from the sheet music falling on the floor, the piano-themed oil paintings hanging on the wall, and the performance gowns on the coat rack that this was an artist's room.
Luigi walked into the house with curiosity and expectation.
The moment Luigi stepped into the attic, a new stream of information appeared before his eyes.
"Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Mission 2 Talk to Uriel."
"Please note that Uriel will enter the 'dream' state during the main mission 2."
"Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent plot development."
"Main mission 2 is about to start."
"Countdown 1:59"
"Countdown 1:58"
"..."
Angel also displayed this row of information. Looking at this row of information, everyone's eyes flashed with doubts.
Talking to Uriel, this task is not too unexpected. If you want to help Uriel make a decision, music alone will not work. In-depth communication is still required. Therefore, it is reasonable for a communication-type task to appear.
During the communication process, everything you say and do will affect Uriel's final decision, and of course it will also affect the subsequent plot development, which is also very reasonable.
The only thing that confused them was what the "dream" state mentioned in the fairyland reminder meant.
Laplace and Graipnir looked at Angel at the same time. If there was anyone here who could answer this question, it was Angel.
Even Luigi in the fantasy live broadcast said quickly: "I know you have watched my performance. If you praise me, I will praise me in person later when I come out. Now, help me take a look. The main mission 2 said it will be useless later."
Leer will enter the 'dreaming' state. What does dreaming mean? Come on, tell me, the mission will start in one and a half minutes."
Everyone inside and outside the small garden looked at Angel. Angel said helplessly: "I don't know what 'dream' means. If I have time, I can check it out..."
But now, there is obviously no time.
Luigi: "So what do I do now?"
Angel thought for a while and replied: "I think even if you don't know what a 'dream' is, it shouldn't have any impact. Anyway, your mission is to talk to Uriel."
Luigi asked again: "What should I tell him?"
Angel: "Why did you choose to enter this dungeon? Have you forgotten? Just say what you think. No matter the result or not, it doesn't matter."
Luigi really wanted to say that he cared about the results! He didn't want his efforts in the "Tihai Tactics" these days to go to waste.
However, Luigi wanted to think about it, but in the end he did not speak.
Firstly, the countdown was about to end, and secondly... he also knew that Angel couldn't help him with anything. He originally gave up the "invitation letter from Circus Sunshine" and changed it to "a letter of recommendation from the clown", wasn't it just because of the letter of recommendation?
That phrase "Let you step onto the most dazzling stage"?
Among all the people present, only his goal is the stage. Therefore, this can only be his battlefield.
Whether he can be on the most dazzling stage as the recommendation letter said may depend on his performance in the main mission 2.
As the countdown reaches 0, main mission 2 begins.
At the same time, Luigi heard footsteps coming up the attic stairs.
He looked back and saw Uriel walking down from the second floor, rubbing his temples and walking to the sofa piled with all kinds of dirty clothes.
Uriel moved the dirty clothes aside and sat on the sofa, leaning his head on the back of the sofa and raising his arms to cover his eyes, looking depressed.
Luigi was still thinking about how to talk to Uriel, but unexpectedly, Uriel saw him but didn't react at all.
Not only did he not respond, but Uriel was in a very strange state at this time.
He looked full of confusion, and the aura of decadence around him was not too obvious. This state was more like a drunken person than a sober person.
This situation is absolutely unusual.
You know, during the main mission 1, although Uriel was upset, his spirit was still sober.
A few minutes ago, when Uriel and Luigi looked at each other, it could be seen that he was awake. But now, in just over two minutes, this change occurred, and something was obviously wrong.
Is this the "dream" state mentioned in the fairyland reminder?
At first glance, Uriel really seems to be "daydreaming" or "sleepwalking". He doesn't care about the outside world at all, even if there is an extra person in the house, he doesn't care.
When Luigi was cursing in his heart, Uriel suddenly said: "How should I choose?"
Uriel's voice had a thick nasal sound and was very vague, as if he was talking in his sleep.
Luigi didn't know if Uriel was talking to him, but he knew that this must be an entry point. He said without hesitation: "How to choose depends entirely on your heart. Most of the reasons for confusion are because you have blinded your heart.
Options."
Luigi threw out a universal sentence, and it was up to Uriel to answer it.
Uriel still said in a tone as if he was talking in his sleep: "Inside? My heart is already in chaos. Not to mention myself, even the master of hypnosis cannot see my heart."
Luigi: "If you can't make a choice in your heart...then you might as well say it and let others make the choice for you, such as me."
Uriel covered his eyes with his arms and did not look in the direction of Luigi at all. He just muttered in his sleep and said: "There are two stages in front of me now, one is destined to be dazzling, and the other is destined to fade away.
Stage, which stage do you think I should go to?"
As Uriel asked this question, a stream of information appeared in front of Luigi.
"Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent plot development."
Luigi had seen this stream of information before, but it appeared alone now, seeming to remind him that the following conversation was important.
Whether to choose a stage destined to be dazzling or a stage destined to fade away will open up a completely different story.
At this moment, Luigi also fell into confusion.
According to normal circumstances, I would definitely choose a dazzling stage...but why did an unreasonable option appear?
A stage destined to leave sadly? Why go to this stage when you know you will leave sadly? Is there any unspeakable story behind this stage?
While a series of doubts were rising in Luigi's mind, Angel and others were also discussing this option outside the dungeon.
"If it were you, what choice would you make?" Angel looked at Laplace and Graipnir.
Laplace didn't think at all and said directly: "A stage destined to leave sadly."
Gleipnir also echoed: "I will choose this stage too."
Angel: "Why?"
Laplace: "The dazzling stage has no appeal to me. On the contrary, a stage destined to fade away may be able to see a good show."
To put it bluntly, it is the mentality of watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things.
In Laplace's eyes, the dazzling stage is just like ordinary life, with the end visible at a glance; and the stage that fades away sadly, although the ending is known, why it fades away is unknown. This is
It's like seeing a little unknown possibility in the boring life.
Gleipnir: "I just don't like the dazzling stage... As for you, you haven't said your choice yet."
Angel pondered for a moment and said: "If it were me, without a clear threat, out of a little bit of rebellious psychology, I would probably choose a stage destined to leave sadly."
"The reason is also very simple. There is an abnormal option among the regular options. Isn't this tempting people to choose?"
Anyway, there is no threat in this option, so choose the abnormal option.
Of course, this abnormal option must also conform to the logic of the fairyland copy.
If the options are 1, a stage destined to be dazzling; 2, a stage destined to fade away; 3, mushrooms cooked in red wine.
He will definitely not choose 3. After all, no matter how rebellious he is, he still has to follow the Basic Law. This copy has nothing to do with eating.
Angel: "However, we have countless choices. It still depends on Luigi's choice... Will Luigi also choose the stage where he will retire sadly?"
When Angel said the second half of the sentence, he looked at Laplace and Graipnir.
Laplace did not say anything, but Grapnir said: "With Luigi's character, he will tend to be on a dazzling stage."
Angel also agreed with this. Luigi entered the Uriel copy just to pursue a dazzling stage.
Moreover, for all performers who love the stage, leaving the stage sadly will probably be the biggest failure in life. Without other additional prerequisites, choosing this is an insult to one's career.
While they were having a heated discussion, Luigi on the other side finally spoke after deep thought.
However, what surprised them was that Luigi did not make a choice immediately, but asked: "Since it is destined to exit sadly, why put it in the options?"
Luigi didn't know whether Uriel would answer, but he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't ask.
If you know you can't do it, why don't you do it? You must put it in the options. Is there any special reason?
Uriel muttered after a long while: "Why? Ha...because that is the stage of dreams."
"The stage of dreams? Why is it called the stage of dreams?" Luigi wondered. If the stage destined to fade away is the stage of dreams, then what kind of stage is the stage destined to be dazzling?
But this time, Uriel didn't speak again, he just slumped on the sofa, looking confused.
Luigi knew that there was no other answer to the question, and now it was his turn to make a choice.
A stage destined to be dazzling, or a stage destined to fade away sadly?
If it were before, Luigi would have chosen the dazzling stage. He came to this instance to pursue the dazzling stage.
But after listening to Uriel's words, a small change occurred in his heart.
"If it were me, I would choose the stage of my dreams. There are many dazzling stages, but there are very few stages that can be called dreams." Luigi: "If I can really get on the stage of my dreams, even if it is sad
I won’t regret quitting the show. Besides, since it’s a stage, there will definitely be dim and dazzling performances. Why am I destined to be a dim performance? Maybe, I can also show dazzling performance on the dream stage.
Where’s the show?”
After hearing Luigi's answer, Uriel suddenly laughed out loud: "How naive."
"Since I have said it, this is a stage that is destined to leave sadly, and it will definitely leave sadly. There is no other option."
Luigi frowned: "Is there a secret operation?"
Uriel shook his head: "Since it is the stage of dreams, there cannot be any discord."
Luigi: "If it's a fair stage, then why can't you just think about success and always think about failure? Moreover, if you keep undermining your self-confidence, even if you succeed, you will eventually fail."
"Besides, when you are alone, you feel that you are destined to leave sadly. What if you are two people? Add me and we go to the stage of your dreams together. Then will the so-called destiny have a new turn?"
