What Angel was thinking about was naturally related to Xiao Ke's haunted house.
After he entered, he was always puzzled as to why there must be a process of 'finding a safe house'?
In Angel's view, if there must be a process of 'finding a safe house', then the safe house will most likely be hidden very deep and very difficult to find, which is a negative characteristic. - This is a lot of powerful alchemy works, half
Mysterious things, and even the commonality of some mysterious things.
In other words, it is a restriction and a price.
Such constraints and costs are countless in the supernatural world. Just like the "red sword" Doakes is holding now, he specially found a famous alchemist to refine it. When he was refining it, the other party
He was given three choices: either he had extreme sharpness and agility, but the sword body was relatively fragile; or he had extreme bloodline carrying power, but the sword body was relatively heavy; or he had extreme sharpness and bloodline carrying power,
But none of them are outstanding.
In the end Doakes chose the second option.
When you want to reach a certain limit, you have to pay the price elsewhere. Just like a scale, if one side goes down, the other side will tilt up.
Of course, it is not impossible to achieve the situation where both are good and both are the limit, but the test is the refiner. And even if both are good, it does not mean that there is no cost, it is just that this
The cost may not be obvious.
For example, expensive materials and high blending standards are also a price.
In addition to the example of the red sword, there are similar costs in mysterious objects... However, this is not the problem of the refiner, but this price itself is part of the mysterious objects.
Just like "Dark Music", it will force you to give birth to a second personality, but the second personality must be evil, and you will lose your name.
Or the "master key", which can open the key to all locks; however, the more you use it, the harder it becomes for others to knock on the door of your heart.
There is also the "seed of death". If you want to be blessed by luck, you must go through a disaster of facing death.
The last two are the costs. In other words, they are the costs that humans evaluate from their own perspective - if it is good for humans, it is a positive effect and effect; if it is not good for humans, it is the cost.
Therefore, it is normal for Xiao Ke’s Haunted House to have restrictions.
——You have to climb mountains and ridges, expend energy, and go through a lot of hardships to find a safe house.
If the above situation is the case, Angel will not be surprised.
It's normal to have restrictions and spend more time and effort.
But this is not the case. At present, the restriction of Xiao Ke Haunted House is: the maximum limit of daily mirror ghost attacks and time sense, not the search for a safe house.
Because it’s so easy to find a safe house.
The safe house this time was already difficult to find, but it only took a few minutes; while the safe houses in other environments before, such as some grand castle, were simply a sign in front of you, so you didn’t even have to look for them.
That being the case, why set up a process for finding a safe house?
This question may be a very boring question in the eyes of Luigi, Baba Legon and others.
But in Angel's opinion, this is actually very strange.
Looking for a safe house is a “no-brainer” exercise.
You can obviously come in and go directly to the safe house, but you have to go through a process to find the safe house. Isn't this unnecessary?
If this haunted house was refined by humans, it might be a flaw on the part of the refiner; but this haunted house was born "naturally", and the unnecessary step in its design was puzzling to Angel.
In the supernatural world, many things that you find inexplicable are often linked to one situation, and that is: rituals.
Therefore, what Angel is thinking about at this time is whether the process of finding a safe house is a ritual?
However, Angel thought deeply and shook his head. This is a guess that cannot be confirmed or falsified. There is really no trace of rituals at present... Moreover, a naturally born semi-mysterious thing will
Are there rituals? Natural rituals?
Putting aside the speculation about the ceremony for the moment, there is another possibility that Angel can think of: finding a safe house is most likely to simulate Xiao Ke's situation at that time, and flee into the safe house in a panic.
After all, the birth of the haunted house is closely related to Xiao Ke, and it seems possible to simulate his search process.
However, this is also difficult to prove.
While Angel was thinking, something suddenly occurred to him: Luigi seemed to have mentioned before that there would be Shock's diary in the haunted house?
Xiao Ke's diary cannot be taken out of the haunted house, but appears in the corresponding safe house with each change of the haunted house's environment. Sometimes it is on the bookshelf of the castle, sometimes on the table of the tree house, and sometimes
It fell casually on the ground of the amusement park...
According to this pattern, Xiao Ke's diary should also appear in this cellar? Perhaps Xiao Ke's records before escaping into the secret room can be found in the diary?
Thinking of this, Angel raised his head and inspected every part of the cellar bit by bit.
But after looking around, I couldn't find Xiao Ke's diary.
The cellar was as empty as when I first saw it, with nothing around it.
Angel believed that Luigi would not lie about this kind of thing, so there was a high probability that Shocker's diary still existed, but he had not found it.
Perhaps, there is a hidden space or a hidden storage area in this cellar? And Xiao Ke's diary is in the hidden place?
With this idea in mind, Angel released his mental tentacles... However, it was useless.
The mental tentacles can be stretched out, but the surroundings are full of dense and constantly flowing mysterious charm. When the mental tentacles are stretched out, it feels like entering a mud or sand pit. You can move, but the surroundings are full of dense matter. If you want to
It is very difficult to find the hidden space in this situation.
This is not only true for mental power, but also for other spells. Although it can be released, the perception ability is obviously much weaker.
The only thing that is not affected is nightmare spells, but nightmare spells cannot invade the surrounding walls and floors that have been infected by the rainbow light.
In the absence of perception, it is better to stand up and walk around, using your hands and feet to measure the hidden space.
Angel is not a person who hesitates. Once he thinks of it, he will do it.
Anyway, the mirror ghost hasn't come yet. Angel stood up and walked into the illusion, searching for possible hiding places in the cellar.
Luigi was currently immersed in the "Priest's Dream", and the illusion blocked out the sound, so there was no need to worry about disturbing him.
As Angel walked, he took out his cane and tapped the ground, using the echo of the sound to determine whether there was a hidden space.
Soon, ten hours passed.
Angel searched all the bricks in the middle and found no abnormalities.
Now, he began to knock on the cellar wall, and he was more careful than before... Generally speaking, the probability of hidden spaces on the wall is greater than on the ground.
This knock lasts for six hours.
Although Xiao Ke's diary was still not found, today's Mirror Ghost attack was waiting for him.
The first wave of mirror ghosts that appeared was a non-human creature, more like a stick with wings.
If it were smaller and thinner, its appearance changed from black to pink, and there was a heart on the top, then it would be very similar to the wand used by the magical girl in the novel.
Angel didn't know the name of this mirror ghost, so he just called it "the wand ghost".
As Luigi said, the first few waves of mirror ghosts were very weak. This was the case with the wand ghost. Apart from being able to fly and release some negative energy attacks with its wand, it had no other extraordinary abilities.
According to Angel's estimate, it may only be at the level of a second-level apprentice in the early stages?
Under normal circumstances, the second-level apprentice would still be unable to kill the wand demon, but the wand demon could not do anything to the second-level apprentice.
So weak that... as soon as he enters the misty fantasy world, he flies around anxiously; as soon as he flies around, he becomes even more confused.
Angel didn't even control the illusion, it was firmly controlled.
There's nothing to say about the strength of the wand ghost, but the way it came out is quite interesting. It came unexpectedly, and it didn't come in through the door, but came down from the ceiling above its head.
It can also be seen from this that Angel's previous attempt to arrange an illusion on the steps at the door was actually useless.
The way they came in was not normal at all.
What Angel is now curious about is whether the wand ghost is a member of the mirror ghosts outside. When the time was almost up, it was pulled by the invisible force in the haunted house and pulled to the cellar.
There is still no answer to this question. After all, Angel cannot go out and count the number of mirror ghosts.
However, Angel specifically went to the ceiling where the wand ghost first appeared, wanting to see if there was any hidden space on the ceiling...
The answer is: no.
Angel is not discouraged. He still has time anyway. Moreover, the first wave of mirror ghosts appears at the sixteenth hour. According to the pattern of one wave a day, he will have at least eight hours left without going.
The problem of tube mirror ghost.
Thinking of this, Angel picked up his cane again and started knocking on the wall.
The knocking sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in the cellar, and every knocking sound was dull, which meant that he had not found the hidden space yet.
There was nothing we could do about it. The cellar was too big. When the next day came, Angel had only knocked on half of the wall.
By the time he finished hammering on all the walls of the cellar, there were only fourteen hours left before the third day arrived.
Unfortunately, there is still no hidden space on the surrounding walls.
Angel could only look at the ceiling above.
Could it be that the hidden space is on the ceiling? Angel personally thinks that the possibility is a bit low. If there is really a hiding space on the ceiling, then it would be too weird to hide it?
And in the previous haunted houses with other backgrounds, Xiao Ke’s diary wasn’t that hard to find, right?
Although he didn't believe that there would be hidden space in the ceiling, Angel decided to give it a try. He released his magic hand and still held his cane, tapping every inch of the ceiling.
The tapping process was still as usual and not worth mentioning. The only thing that can be said is that two hours before the third day, the mirror ghost from the second day finally appeared.
There are three mirror ghosts coming this time.
They came out from three different walls. The first one to come was a dark humanoid mirror ghost. Although it was humanoid, its face could not be seen clearly. It was completely dark. Even its eyes and mouth were not blank.
, like a shadow made entirely of darkness.
As soon as the humanoid mirror ghost appears, it lies on the ground and walks on all fours, like a wild beast.
His movements are extremely fast and his body is agile. He can easily float or stick to the walls, as if he has escaped the constraints of gravity.
However, Angel did not see him release any powerful abilities. Perhaps, his abilities will not be released until he meets someone?
But unfortunately, as soon as he entered the cellar, he was surrounded by the rolling fog. No matter how agile and sharp he was, he was just like a hamster running on the hamster wheel. He was fast, but he was completely stuck in the same place.
The second mirror ghost and the third mirror ghost appeared together, covering the left and right walls.
Their appearance is more like ghosts in human imagination, floating in mid-air, with a "big sheet" on their heads that covers their entire body.
However, one was draped in black sheets and the other in white sheets, and there were obvious protrusions on their heads, which seemed to be horns.
Just one corner is to the right and one to the left.
Angel still didn't recognize this type of mirror ghost and could only call it "sheet ghost".
The two bedsheet ghosts are not strong, and the energy fluctuations emitted by their bodies are even weaker than the wand ghost. But Angel has an inexplicable feeling that these two bedsheet ghosts may be able to "fuse"?
One is white and the other is black, and the corners of the head are also one on the left and the other on the right. No matter how you look at them, they are complementary.
If you want to be flawless, you can only combine them.
Angel didn't know if his guess was correct, but if these two bedsheet ghosts really merged, maybe they wouldn't be as weak as they are now.
It's a pity... When they came in, they were on the left and right of the cellar. The fog easily surrounded them, so there was no need to worry about them joining together.
The second wave of mirror ghosts are generally not strong.
However, Angel did not take it lightly. Although the second wave of mirror ghosts were not strong, they were already "potential" mirror ghosts.
According to this rule, the third wave of mirror ghosts may be the ones that truly unleash their potential.
Moreover, there was only one wand ghost in the first wave, but three mirror ghosts appeared in the second wave. Will the number increase in the third wave?
If this is the case, then you should be even more cautious.
Angel thought for a while, and then released some illusion nodes. After making sure that there was a faint mist everywhere from the ceiling to the ground, he stopped.
For the next time, Angel still didn't care about the mirror ghost trapped in the fog, but continued to pick up his cane and tap on the ceiling.
The sense of time is still extending, and the third day arrives as scheduled.
Luigi said before that he could learn "The Black Sheep Confession" in half a day, but now I am sure that this was just a boast.
However, I have to say that the "Black Sheep Confession Song" he played today was obviously much higher in terms of emotional intensity than the previous two days.
The infectiousness has also risen to a big level.
Angel even felt that if this song "Black Sheep Confession Song" really suited Uriel's taste, with Luigi's current level, it would not be impossible to get the top three seats.
Luigi's progress is obvious, but Angel's progress is...zero.
