"Why did you suddenly stop talking? It's so rare to see such an interesting creature, why don't you talk to me more? I can tell you a lot of secrets~"
As soon as Angel stepped onto the stairs of the Crystal House, he heard a series of sounds coming from inside the house.
This voice has an indistinguishable quality of male and female. It is difficult to tell the gender just by listening to it. I just feel that its intonation is a bit strange and the syllables it produces are slightly sharp.
Angel turned back and looked at Laplace next to him, with curiosity and doubt in his eyes: Who is talking? Is there anyone else in the room? Is it your current body?
Laplace also responded with his eyes: No, you will know when you go in. After saying that, Laplace took the lead in arriving at the door of the Crystal Cottage.
When her hand just touched the door, the voice inside suddenly brought surprise: "Ah, a guest is coming. Who could it be? Can you bring Laplace who can meet my little request?"
Laplace pushed the door open directly and entered.
The external light shines into the dark room, bringing in a geometric light spot.
The light spot extends all the way to the crystal wall of the inner room. Through the corner exposed by the light spot, you can see an exquisite oil painting frame.
The content of the oil painting cannot be seen for the time being, but at a glance, there is nothing in the Crystal Room. The most conspicuous thing is the oil painting. I think this painting is the "strange gadget" that Laplace has always mentioned before. Ingres
When I looked inside, the sharp sound sounded again.
"As expected, my dear Laplace is here. Is this your current form? It's in the shape of a human." The voice was a little excited at first, but then it slowly turned into disappointment: "Although humans are also
Yes, but your true body is more interesting, and only your true body can satisfy Xiao Xiaotao's humble request." Although these words had no beginning or end, I still understood the general meaning.
There are two important points: what I saw was Laplace's current form, and the name of the speaker was "Xiao Xiaotao".
However, rather than summarizing the key points of the other party's words, Angel was more curious about who this little Tao was. The door of the Crystal Cottage had been opened, and there was no extension space inside. It was very small. You could see at a glance, what was inside
There was no one there, but the voice clearly came from inside. So, where was the other party speaking?
When Angel was curious, Xiao Xiaotao spoke again: "Hey, I actually brought someone else here this time. Use your own power to wrap the other person's consciousness carrier. Judging from the luster of the consciousness carrier, this is a
Human being. Laplace, you obviously have such a beautiful body, why do you like the appearance of humans? Tokishen also loves humans, alas, you really sacrifice one for the other."
This time, Xiao Xiaotao was obviously evaluating herself.
However, Angel didn't care what the other party said, because this time he finally captured the location of the other party's sound source. It was on the crystal wall!
To be precise, it came from that painting!
If his perception was not blocked by Laplace, he would probably be able to determine the exact location of the other party when he spoke for the first time; but unfortunately, his perception was blocked and his sensitivity to the sound source also declined, until this time
Just heard it.
At this time, Laplace also entered the hut and summoned a luminous stone lamp. In an instant, the hut became brighter.
Angel followed her into the hut, and under the bright light, he finally saw clearly what was on the oil painting.
The oil painting shows a very serious stage, with dark red curtains drawn to both sides and headlights shining in the center of the stage.
In the center of the stage, the only place where the light shines, there is a ballet dancer dancing gracefully. Yes, it literally means "dancing gracefully".
In Jon's words: This oil painting is not a static picture, but a moving picture. The "moving" here refers to the ballet dancer.
The ballet dancer wearing a white feather skirt was dancing with her back to Angel. Her posture was moving, and her hands were spread out like a white swan spreading its wings.
With her toes on tiptoes, she danced an elegant round dance.
Originally this was a very beautiful picture, but unfortunately, it only
There is dancing and no music, making this animated picture inexplicably weird.
When the protagonist of the animation, the ballet dancer, turns her head, the weird feeling spreads out of the oil painting.
Because her appearance is so strange.
Her whole face is like an inverted heart, with a glowing complexion, two oval-shaped faint pink halos fluttering on her cheeks, her eyes are two small black dots, and her eyebrows are also two dots.
Compared to her huge head, her neck was very thin and long, curved and stretched out one meter away, like a porcelain white snake.
Overall, she looks like a weird-looking monster, or a character described in some kind of ghost story. When Angel was shocked by the appearance of the person in the painting, the person's slender neck suddenly acted like a spring,
With a sudden rush, her head was ejected directly to the center of the entire screen. Her porcelain-white, almost transparent, heart-shaped face instantly occupied three-quarters of the screen.
This impact is like a horror movie in a holographic tablet. In order to scare the audience, the director suddenly kills in the face.
It's a pity that this sweet-faced assassin did not get out of the oil painting.
As for Angel, apart from being shocked by the opponent's sudden movement to break the dimension, if he really wanted to say "scared", it was actually okay.
Perhaps it was because Laplace blocked his perception and reduced his emotional fluctuations?
"Human, I'm tired of human beings. Human beings have been unable to give me amazing performances for many years, and this human being looks very dull at first glance." A familiar sharp voice came from the small mouth with a heart-shaped face.
Because the other person's face was close to the screen, Angel could even see the forked tongue inside her mouth when she opened it. It was like an enlarged version of a snake letter.
Putting aside these details, Angel was basically certain from the sharp voice coming out of her mouth that this was the "Xiao Xiaotao" who had always been talking about it before.
Angel did not try to communicate with the other party, but looked at Laplace beside him.
At present, apart from a little peach that can talk, there is nothing else worthy of attention in this painting. From Ingres's perspective, this painting can be called a "strange thing"; but Laplace is comparable
He was well-informed, so if it was just a painting that could talk, it shouldn't surprise her.
Therefore, there should be something more special about this painting. If Angel observes it for a period of time, he may be able to get the answer; but there is no need, Laplace is right next to him, so just ask directly.
What's more, Angel's perception is still blocked, so he can't observe it comprehensively.
Laplace obviously understood Angel's eyes and said calmly: "The person in this painting is the strange thing I said. You have been blocked by me and cannot perceive her specialness. But I can tell
You, she has a strong mysterious aura surrounding her."
Mysterious aura? Angel reacted immediately and said in surprise: "You mean, this painting is a mysterious thing?!"
Laplace fished out a mysterious object from the sea of empty mirrors?!!
Angel couldn't believe it. The mysterious thing was sent directly to her body. Is this a gift from the Creator? No, is it a gift from world consciousness?
Angel is not talking nonsense. You must know that Laplace has received the gift of world consciousness more than once.
Angel couldn't be sure about the others, but Laplace was definitely the most preferred being in the world consciousness of the Sun Mirror Realm.
While Ingres was lost in his thoughts, Laplace shook his head: "No, this painting is not a mysterious thing. The real mysterious thing should be the person in the painting."
Is Little Tao a mysterious thing?
No, it shouldn't be called a "thing". She is a mysterious spirit?
Angel has seen mysterious spirits with his own eyes and heard about mysterious spirits. Take Orao as an example. Even though he is nothing now, once his bronze mirror is refined into a mysterious thing,
He can instantly become a mysterious spirit.
Items with mysterious spirits must be dominated by mysterious spirits.
Just look at it this way, even if you draw
It's not a mysterious thing, and Angel doesn't think it's a loss. It can be regarded as a gift from the world, and compared to simple mysterious things, mysterious spirits are even rarer.
Laplace: "I know what you are thinking in your heart. It is not what you think. It is not an ordinary mysterious spirit."
After she picked up the painting, Laplace had a period of communication with the painting. Through communication, Laplace had roughly determined that this little peach was a mysterious spirit.
Although Xiao Xiaotao is a mysterious spirit, she also has a body, or a carrier. Her body is not this oil painting.
Laplace also asked Xiao Xiaotao where her true body was, but Xiao Xiaotao did not answer her, but made a "request".
This "request" is very strange. Xiao Xiaotao wants to see Laplace's body "perform a whale sucking water". The "whale sucking water" here is just a metaphor. What is sucked is not ordinary water, but the memory of the empty mirror sea.
Xiao Xiaotao meant that as long as Laplace could meet its request, it would definitely answer her question. Laplace ignored Xiao Xiaotao's request and turned around to tell Xiao Xiaotao about her existence.
He found Angel and brought Angel here.
Laplace naturally had his reasons for doing this.
Angel can refine secret treasures, and the next step is to refine mysterious objects. For Angel, communicating with a mysterious spirit obviously benefits more.
As for Laplace himself, even if he communicates with the mysterious spirit, he probably won't get much. He might as well give this opportunity to Angel.
"I can feel that Xiao Xiaotao can leave at any time. This painting is just a medium for her to keep. If she really wants to leave, she can leave at any time." Laplace: "So, if you have anything to ask
Yes, it’s best to communicate with her as soon as possible.”
Angel also didn't expect that Xiao Xiaotao would be a mysterious spirit that could move. He originally thought that Laplace got a big deal, but now it seems that it may not be the gift of the will of the world, but Xiao Xiaotao took the initiative to find it.
Laplace?
Angel actually didn't know how to communicate with the mysterious spirit, but since Laplace specially brought him here, he certainly couldn't stand still.
He thought for a while and asked Xiao Xiaotao in the oil painting: "Are you the spirit of painting?"
Since Xiao Xiaotao lives in this oil painting, Angel speculates that her body may also be an oil painting? And she herself is the spirit in the painting?
Xiao Xiaotao's eyes had been fixed on Laplace. After hearing Angel's voice, she reluctantly separated.
He looked over and said, "Huh, stupid human beings."
"I know what you are thinking. My body is not an oil painting. As for what my body is, I have to see the whale of Laplace sucking water before I can answer."
Angel: "Why do you insist on watching whales suck water?"
Xiao Xiaotao: "Because only this kind of performance is worth watching. Moreover, I was guided by fate and came here because of this performance!"
"Guidance by fate?" Angel's head immediately felt a little dull when he heard the familiar words, "Could you be guided by the Book of Kells?"
"Book of Kells? You actually know about the Book of Kells?" Xiao Xiaotao turned her head and looked at Angel formally for the first time. After looking at him, Xiao Xiaotao smiled slyly: "So that's it, you were
Destiny has dictated it." Angel: "."
"Although you are a human, you are a little bit interesting now." Xiao Xiaotao looked at Angel: "There are countless people and things that have been controlled by the Book of Kells. But after that, those who can know that they are controlled by fate
, there are very few. If you know about the existence of the Book of Kells, someone must have told you."
"Moreover, the other party must be a legendary wizard."
Angel: "Only a legendary wizard can circumvent the dictates of fate and reveal the truth to me?"
Xiao Xiaotao turned her head away: "I won't tell you. If you want me to answer your question, you must meet my request because this is the rule!"
Xiao Xiaotao acted "playing" before, but when she said "this
"It's a rule", Angel suddenly understood something.
Angel: "Anyone who asks you a question needs to meet your request? Is this a restriction by mysterious power?"
Xiao Xiaotao didn't say anything, but Angel could feel that he had guessed correctly. This was similar to an exchange of equal value.
You have to give to get rewards.
But according to Xiao Xiaotao, it seems that only Laplace performing the whale sucking water can get the opportunity to ask questions, which makes Angel feel a little embarrassed.
We can't really let Laplace perform, can we?
Angel thought for a while: "You don't necessarily only need Laplace to perform, maybe I can also perform?"
Angel raised his hands and pointed them at himself, signaling Xiao Xiaotao to look towards him.
Xiao Xiaotao gave Angel a cold look: "Human performances are all the same. I don't know how many times I've watched them, but I'm tired of them all. There are no performances worth watching, so you might as well forget it."
Angel: "Can you tell me about the performance you admire? Maybe I can satisfy you?"
