"Time waits for no one, let's go to the haunted house now." Luigi looked at Angel.
Naturally, Angel would not refuse, but Baba Regon was very confused and asked curiously: "You said you were pressed for time because you were going to attend a party in Crystal City. Then why didn't you go to the party first and then come to the haunted house?
"
This way time will not be tight.
Luigi: "There must be a reason... But it's still a long story. I'll tell you when I have free time after I come out. Or, you can go to the party with us and we'll talk as we go."
Baba Regon put aside the chief and the two deputy chiefs and snorted coldly: "I won't go."
Luigi shrugged: "It's up to you to go or not. Anyway, if you go, I'll stop by and tell you. If you don't go, I'll tell you when I come next time. Now, you activate the haunted house first."
Baba Legon groaned, and the boss murmured in an arrogant voice: "Obviously it's you who is begging me, but you still give me orders, hum. And it's not like you don't know how to activate the haunted house, so you insist on me doing it, and you're wasting my time."
Aggregation energy…”
Although he muttered, his movements did not stop. Baba Regon's right deputy suddenly woke up from his slumber, raised the triangular thief, and projected a light arrow full of polymerized energy from his eyes.
After the light arrow fell into the spar, the spar slowly floated in the flickering light and expanded rapidly. It didn't take long before it expanded to three meters long and three meters wide.
"That's almost it." Baba Legon murmured and withdrew the light arrow.
With the recovery of the light arrow, the crystal stopped flickering and was completely frozen in mid-air. At the same time, a crack appeared on the surface of the dark crystal. The crack slowly extended, and soon a door was formed.
.
Click——
The door on the spar was pushed open by Luigi. It was also dark inside, and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
Luigi entered the door without hesitation and was instantly engulfed in darkness.
Angel nodded slightly to Baba Regon and followed Luigi into the gate.
When Angel's figure disappeared into the darkness, the crystal door slowly closed.
Baba Legon kept staring at the spar until black mist began to slowly escape from the spar, then it turned and left, heading towards the laboratory next to it...
On the other side, Angel found that he did not come to the so-called "haunted house", but stood on a dark land.
Luigi was also nearby at this time, but he did not pay attention to the surrounding environment. Instead, he took out the score of "Black Sheep Confession" and his most precious harp from the space.
Angel looked around and saw that there was nothing around him. The visible range was only a few dozen meters, and the distance beyond was shrouded in dark mist.
The top of the head is a hemispherical mirror mask.
The light mask emits a faint shimmer, illuminating the land.
However, at this moment, ice cracks appeared on the mirror mask, and the cracks were spreading rapidly, as if something outside the mask was constantly impacting it.
"What's going on?" Angel looked at Luigi in confusion. Didn't he agree on the haunted house?
Luigi came over holding the harp: "There is a mirror ghost outside. What we need to do now is to find the haunted house and hide in it before the mirror ghost breaks through the light barrier."
"???" Angel frowned, with a puzzled look on his face. The haunted house... still need to find it?
Luigi: "To be precise, this is a haunted house, and what we are looking for is a 'safe house'."
"Every time you enter Xiao Ke's haunted house, a different scene will be simulated. These scenes all simulate the ghost in the mirror, probably some of Xiao Ke's memories during his lifetime?"
"In different haunted house scenes, there will be different safe houses." Luigi: "According to Baba Regon, safe houses look like grand castles, forest cabins, and amusement park islands.
pavilion……"
Angel frowned: "Then where is the safe house here?"
Luigi shrugged: "I don't know, I've never been in, I just heard..."
Therefore, they still need to find the location of the safe house.
As for how to find a safe house, Luigi also gave the answer: "A safe house must be a house, or a closed space that can hide people; also, the safe house must be within a mirror dome; finally, there are
There is an obvious time difference. As long as these three characteristics are clear, Safe House will definitely not go wrong.”
After Luigi finished speaking, he comforted him: "Don't worry, the safe house is easy to find. Everyone who has used the haunted house will definitely be able to find the safe house."
Angel did not answer, but simply said: "I'll look to the left, you look to the right."
After they separated, they each looked for a hidden safe house in different directions.
Facts have proved that Luigi was right, the safe house is indeed not difficult to find, and the release of mental power is not prohibited here. In less than a minute, Angel saw the hidden entrance.
It is located near the mist on the left and is a cellar.
The entrance to the cellar was covered by dark wooden boards. Because the color of the wooden boards was very similar to the color of the surrounding earth, it was not discovered immediately.
After removing the wooden board, a downward staircase was revealed.
The stairs lead directly to the cellar. There is a light film at the entrance of the cellar, which can be seen with the naked eye. There are some rainbow light spots surging on the light film.
Angel had seen a similar rainbow light on Akers before.
There is no doubt that this light film should contain the power of time.
Angel curiously stretched out his spiritual tentacles, wanting to study the light film, but when his spiritual tentacles touched the light film, it was like hitting a glass barrier, unable to penetrate deep at all.
On the contrary, Angel stretched out his hand and was able to easily break through the light film.
But during this process, he did not feel anything unusual to study.
While Angel was observing the light film curiously, Luigi walked down the stairs: "You don't need to study the power of time here, it's just a representation."
Angel frowned: "Appearance?"
Luigi nodded: "The real power of time is scattered everywhere in the haunted house. It is invisible, ubiquitous, and untouchable. And the rainbow light film seen here is just a
The embodied appearance can be understood as an illusion."
In other words, there must be some kind of time-related power in the haunted house, but it is integrated with the mysterious power to form the main body of the haunted house.
If you want to study the power of time in a haunted house, you can't just study the surface. You must turn the haunted house upside down, otherwise it will be difficult to find the power of time contained in it.
And even if the hidden power of time is found, it may not be possible to research anything.
this is the truth.
The power of time is not so easy to touch. What’s more, it is the power of time that is related to mystery.
"If you continue to plan to do research, you can enter the safe house, set up the illusion, and then do research." Luigi looked at Angel.
Angel spread his hands to give up.
He really wants to research, but he also knows very well that with his current background, he will definitely not be able to research anything... Moreover, he only has two hours in the outside world and three days in the haunted house to do research, which is not enough time in terms of time.
What.
Luigi: "Then let's go in and start?"
"Okay." Just after Angel finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Does the attack of the Mirror Ghost directly enter the safe house, or does it enter the safe house through this staircase?"
Upon hearing Angel's words, Luigi understood what he meant: "Do you want to set up an illusion outside and restrict them from entering the safe house?"
Angel nodded and did not deny it.
Luigi thought for a while and replied: "I'm not sure whether this is possible, but according to Baba Legon, after the mirror mask above the head is destroyed, the mirror ghosts will indeed fill the entire earth. But it seems to be a real attack.
There are only a small number of mirror ghosts in the safe house, but we don’t know whether they fly into the safe house through the stairs or appear directly in the safe house.”
"No matter which one it is, if you set up an illusion outside, the disadvantages are actually quite big. It is likely to attract more mirror ghosts to pay attention to this place."
"It's better to just set up the illusion in the safe house."
Angel thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth. He was not doing research on haunted houses, so there was no need to conduct this experiment.
Thinking of this, without thinking too much, he followed Luigi through the light film and walked into the cellar space.
As soon as he entered the cellar, Angel immediately felt a familiar mysterious atmosphere...or in other words, a richer mysterious charm.
It filled the entire cellar and surrounded them.
Without any explanation or reminder from others, it is just surrounded by a mysterious charm. People who enter this place immediately understand the function of this cellar.
An extension of the sense of time...
In this cellar, one hour can be used for thirty-six hours.
Two hours in the cellar is equal to three days outside.
This is the same effect as what Luigi said. However, Luigi has always emphasized that this is an extension of the sense of time. Although the effect is similar to changing the flow of time, the result is different.
However, Luigi didn't explain it at the time, he just said that he would know after he went there.
Now, surrounded by the mysterious charm, Angel finally understood.
Indeed, there is a difference between changes in the sense of time and changes in the flow of time.
The sense of time is just an experience, similar to simulating changes in the flow of time.
For example, if the real flow of time changes, then you will not have any physical burden when you leave regardless of whether you deal with anything here, mentally or physically.
But the sense of time changes, but it is different.
It's just that when the sense of time changes, when dealing with mental work here, you need a very powerful and fully loaded brain. Otherwise, you can finish more than thirty days of work in just one day, and your brain is likely to be overloaded and shut down.
machine.
This is not a serious negative effect for Angel or Luigi, because they themselves have very strong computing power; moreover, Luigi does not need to consume computing power this time, he is here to borrow
With this sense of time, practice "Black Sheep Confession Song" to strengthen muscle memory and not be affected by negative effects.
But for ordinary people, whether it is mental or physical strength, they may not be able to keep up, which is likely to lead to mental and physical exhaustion.
Of course, if you use it for a short period of time, such as just an hour or two, it doesn't matter.
In a sense, this change in the sense of time is somewhat similar to the general environment of Tomorrow Town. One day in Tomorrow Town is sometimes equivalent to dozens of days. However, Tomorrow Town is a manifestation of power and a product of rules, and it is not
The real sense of time changes, but allows the dungeon player to accelerate the change of time around him without doing anything.
The surrounding time changes very quickly, and the player's sense of time is normal, so Tomorrow Town does not have much side effects.
Judging from just changing the sense of time, Xiao Ke's Haunted House is indeed not up to the standard of a mysterious thing.
As far as Angel knows, some mysterious things are truly changing the flow of time, and even restarting time within a certain range. For example, the City of Reincarnation in the Prophet's Temple.
Perhaps, only by promoting Shock's Haunted House to a mysterious object can we truly change the flow of time, but this is too difficult.
It sounds like there is only one step between a semi-mysterious thing and a truly mysterious thing, but in reality, that step is separated by a chasm that is invisible to the naked eye.
Even as he was feeling emotional, Angel did not forget the work at hand.
Illusion nodes were quickly arranged around, creating an illusion for Luigi that fit the "Black Sheep Confession Song", and also creating an illusion to trap the Mirror Ghost.
It is worth mentioning that although there is nothing in this cellar, it is quite large, comparable to a small square.
Luigi came to the center of the cellar and began to immerse himself in "The Confession of the Black Sheep".
Angel was setting up an illusion next to him.
It didn't take long for Angel to arrange the illusion.
To trap the mirror ghost in the illusion, Angel still chose a mist-type illusion, which blurs the perception and prevents the mirror ghost from going any further. Moreover, the mist illusion is relatively simple and can be set up quickly.
The illusion arranged for Luigi is much more difficult than the mist illusion.
Because Angel is no longer arranging a fantasy, but is arranging a story that combines the background of "Black Sheep Confession", integrating the state of mind of the priest in the story, the oppressive environment of the Situ sect, and the final flames.
The desperate situation of the performance was all restored.
It sounds like a shadow box, and it is indeed similar to a shadow box... But taking it a step further, Angel also worked hard to create emotional nodes in the illusion that change perception and force resonance, allowing Luigi to feel the story more deeply.
The experience of a priest.
Even if Luigi temporarily abandons himself, he can completely enter the heart of the priest and become a priest himself.
This is something other shadow boxes don't have.
It is also unique to Angel, using the art of nightmare to manipulate perception and emotions.
Luigi quickly got into the fun.
After Luigi entered the scene, he was completely immersed in the fantasy. The only thing he did not forget was to strum the strings.
Angel was sitting near Luigi, meditating silently while waiting for the arrival of the Mirror Ghost.
