About ten minutes later, Starworm returned to the manor villa with a face full of silence.
At the gate of the villa, he met Gleipnir who had been waiting for him.
"You..." Looking at Gleipnir's calm look, Starworm hesitated again and again, but couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"Tell you what?" Gleipnir raised his eyebrows.
"...There is nothing outside the fog."
Gleipnir: "Then what?"
Starworm hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I circled around the location of the mist, and the entire manor seemed to be covered by an invisible dome."
"Looking out through the dome, you can vaguely see the outlines of some urban buildings, but you can't see them clearly. I don't know if they really exist."
Gleipnir nodded: "Then why do you think this is?"
Starworm pondered: "I don't know, but there are only two possibilities. One is that someone used some kind of powerful force to separate this manor from the city."
"Secondly, the so-called city outline outside is simply false. This manor is actually a built small garden, or... a cage."
Gleipnir did not comment on Starworm's speculation, but continued to ask: "Which possibility do you prefer?"
Starworm thought about what happened during the period after he was awakened, and finally said silently: "Maybe... the second kind."
The reason is also very simple.
Starworm brought himself into Laplace's perspective. If it were him, when he suddenly encountered an extraterrestrial visitor who did not know good or evil, his purpose, or his strength, in order to avoid bringing disaster to this world , he would definitely choose a relatively hidden, even relatively closed place to awaken the unknown existence of Xinghen.
And this kind of closed place is most likely in a cage that is isolated from the outside world.
Therefore, the second possibility is the greatest.
Gleipnir did not comment on Starworm's answer, but chuckled and said: "Now, do you understand? Why don't I tell you the answer directly? Because you may not believe what I say, only you Only when you see the barrier outside the fog in person can you think and think about it. Finally, you will find the truth."
Gleipnir's answer also confirmed that she deliberately let the starworm go outside.
Starworm: "I have seen the barrier in your mouth. Can you tell me now why there is a barrier here?"
Gleipnir: "Why is there a barrier here? Didn't you guess it? We were worried that something might happen if we woke you up, so we specially found an isolated place."
If Starworm had received this answer before, he would have been doubtful, but after he saw the barrier that blocked the mist, he believed it.
"Then...you let me discover this 'truth', are you planning to tell me that I am imprisoned?"
Graipnir looked at Starworm, whose expression gradually returned to calm, and shook his head gently: "No, I just want to tell you that the world you see is not the real world."
"Do you want to see the real world outside?"
Starworm repeated in a low voice: "The real world outside?"
"Yes, it's the outside world." Gleipnir said: "I trapped you here in the beginning just because I didn't know you. Now, although I don't know much about you, but..."
Gleipnir lowered his eyelids and said almost in a whisper: "You know, we don't want to offend the Star Lord."
"So, if you want to see the outside world, I can take you out."
The moment Gleipnir mentioned "Star Lord", Starworm knew that it was impossible for the other party to lie here.
Starworm almost said without hesitation: "Of course I want to go out!"
Not only because he was curious and wanted to see what the so-called "real" world was like, but more importantly, he was unable to gather more information here.
However, after Starworm finished speaking, he still hesitated: "But Ms. Laplace, do you know about this?"
In his opinion, Laplace is the person in charge, and he is qualified to leave only if she agrees.
Gleipnir: "Of course I do. Without her approval, do you think I would be waiting for you here?"
Starworm pondered: "Since Ms. Laplace agrees, then... I want to go out, I want to see the outside world."
"Very good." Gleipnir nodded: "I will take you out, but before I go out, I need to make a three-part agreement with you."
Starworm: "Please tell me."
"First, after you leave, I need you to cooperate with me in making some small attempts. Don't worry, it's just like letting you sleep before. It's a very common and not too difficult attempt."
Starworm nodded, if it was just this kind of attempt, he could cooperate.
only……
Previously, Gleipnir said that he would see another side of the world after sleeping, which led him to misunderstand that there was a special dream realm. As a result, nothing changed after waking up, but he was asked to go outside the manor and see " Barrier".
As for the "barrier" in the fog, it is most likely that it already exists, and it should not have much to do with whether he sleeps or not.
If that's the case, then why did Gleipnir let him sleep before?
Faced with Starworm's doubts, Gleipnir simply said: "Is there a possibility that I didn't lie to you, but that you haven't yet reached the qualification to 'see the other side of the world'?"
It seems that there is no end in sight, the endless long bridge of dreams...
Perhaps, it’s not that there is no special dream realm, but that if you want to reach the special dream realm, you have to go to the other side of the Dream Bridge? And the reason why he has been stuck on the Dream Bridge with no end in sight is like Gleipnir As mentioned, is it because he did not meet the qualifications?
However, is this really the case?
Starworm was a little suspicious. He asked Greipnir, but Greipnir did not tell him the truth. He just said: "You need to discover the truth yourself."
"What I said may not even be absolutely correct. Because my understanding of this world is not as good as you imagine."
"I just have more 'seen and heard' about this world than you. But 'seen and heard' is not the truth, you should understand."
Starworm nodded.
Wisdom and knowledge are just icebergs floating on the surface of the sea. Truth is the shadow hidden beneath the surface of the sea.
Gleipnir: "Also, what I said is that after you go out, you cooperate with some of my attempts. In fact, it is also helping you see the other side of the world."
"As for whether you can finally see the other side of the world, I'm not sure."
"Let's continue to make three chapters."
"Second, when you go to the outside world, there will be very little help I can give you. You need to be self-reliant."
Starworm: "I understand."
"Third, I am not taking you away without any conditions. I hope you can tell me some knowledge, or in other words, intelligence."
Star Bug was stunned: "What information? If it is information about the Xinghai Train, I have already said everything I can say."
More information is kept secret.
"It's not information about the Star Sea Train." Gleipnir said: "Most of what I want to know is your knowledge."
"As I said before, what you hear doesn't represent the truth. You don't have to say it, but I hope you won't deliberately distort and deceive me again."
Starworm thought for a while and guessed that what Gleipnir wanted to know was most likely people and things in various worlds.
Starworm knows a lot of this information. After all, as a conductor on the Star Sea Train, he has indeed witnessed many stories in the world.
If it's just this information, Starworm doesn't mind sharing it.
"Okay." Starworm: "Do you want to ask now?"
Gleipnir shook his head: "No, I will find time to ask you later."
Anyway, no matter where the star bug goes in the Crystal Plain of Dreams, Angel can locate it. When the time comes, just teleport directly to find him.
Of course, the best way is to let Starworm have a text field, and then give him the temporary manor key card. Then whatever you want to ask can be done in the manor.
However, Gleipnir is not sure whether the starworm can have a text column, and more attempts are needed.
"Okay, since we have made an agreement, we can take you out of here now." Gleipnir: "Or do you plan to continue shopping here?"
Starworm looked back at the manor. He was actually a little curious about some of the written creations, but compared to these, he was more curious about the outside world.
Anyway, you can still see written creations outside, and maybe you can also see the "mountains and rivers" type of written creations that he cares about most. - He is really curious, what is the written description of mountains and rivers? In a nutshell, or in other words ,detailed description?
Thinking of this, Starworm did not hesitate any longer:
"I'm leaving now."
Gleipnir: "Okay, let's go."
As the words fell, Starworm was wondering how to leave, but found that Gleipnir's body had begun to slowly turn into words and dissipate.
And he himself is slowly turning into words...
It's just that compared to Gleipnir's disappearing speed, he seems to be slower.
Gleipnir has completely disappeared, and even the remaining light of the words has turned into little fireflies.
But it seems that only the palms of his hands have disappeared.
Of course, this kind of disappearance is still spreading, but the speed is really slow. Compared with Gleipnir, it pales into insignificance.
Why is this?
Not only the Starworm is asking this question, but Angel and Laplace, who are witnessing all this from God's perspective in the manor hall and are broadcasting the holographic live broadcast, are also asking the same question.
"Under normal circumstances, it takes almost less than a second to completely dissipate." Laplace: "But the situation of the star bug is very different."
"He's more like sinking into the mud now, very slowly."
"Why is this?" Laplace looked at Angel.
At present, only Angel can possibly answer this question. If even Angel doesn't know, then this is really an eternal mystery.
Angel did not answer immediately, but carefully observed the changes in the starworm. At the same time, he also looked at the Crystal Plain of Dreams from his God's perspective.
Outside the copy of Uriel.
Gleipnir has already come out and is waiting here.
Opposite Gleipnir, a stream of light slowly emerged, and a pair of hands came out of the stream of light.
And these hands, only the outline of the hands, no skin can be seen, they are pitch black.
Through these dark hands, you can vaguely see the stars.
Gleipnir looked at the "black hand" that was struggling to reach out in surprise. Although these hands had no skin, she guessed the origin of this hand.
It's the Starworm's hand.
Before the star bug transformed into a skin, it was just like this. There was only the outline of a human figure, but the outline was all in the dark starry sky, and nothing could be seen.
"So, this is a star bug?!" Gleipnir was surprised and subconsciously wanted to enter the manor to see the situation.
But before she entered the text space, Angel's voice came to her ears.
"This is Starworm...if nothing unexpected happens, he is being reshaped by the Dream Crystal."
"You don't have to come in, just wait outside. It shouldn't take long for his body to come out."
After hearing Angel's message, Gleipnir stopped thinking about entering the manor, but the surprise in her eyes did not dissipate so quickly.
The star bug came out so slowly, so it turned out that it was reshaping its body?!
"But why is the body suddenly reshaped?" The speaker was Laplace.
Now, two holographic live broadcasts appeared in front of Laplace.
In the live broadcast room on the left, the protagonist is Starworm, and the location is at the entrance of the manor.
In the live broadcast room on the right, the protagonist is still Starworm, but there is an additional supporting character Gleipnir, located outside the Uriel copy.
In the live broadcast room on the left, Star Bug's hands slowly disappeared; while in the live broadcast room on the right, his hands slowly appeared, but they changed from white hands to hands with the outline of the dark starry sky.
According to Angel, the reason why the Starworm was so slow to get out and even returned to its original shape after reaching the outside world was because he was reshaping his body.
But why is this?
Laplace murmured to himself in a low voice: "Is your guess just now true? The reason why Starworm cannot see the fairyland prompt is because he has never truly stepped into the Crystal Plain of Dreams."
"And now, he finally left the manor and entered the Crystal Plains of Dreams, so he has to reshape his body?"
Angel nodded: "That's most likely the case."
"I can feel that there is a powerful force coming from outside the copy of Uriel and is reshaping the star bug's body."
This kind of great power is not the power of power, but a power higher than the level of power.
Angel couldn't determine what it was.
But he knew that this kind of power spread throughout the Dream Crystal Plains, and contained the power of nightmares, dreams, and the power of the mirror realm. To put it bluntly, it was similar to... the power that constitutes the foundation of this world.
In other words, the basic operating rules of this world.
In the past, this great power was hidden. Even Angel could only vaguely detect its existence, but there was no way to further understand its context.
It's not that Angel doesn't have authority, it's that he doesn't know enough about the world, energy, and laws.
Now, because of the special case of the star worm, the power hidden in the veins has emerged. Reshape its body to make the star worm more in line with the essence of the Dream Crystal.
In other words, it promotes the Starworm to integrate into the world of Dream Crystal Plains.
This is the truth that "Weili" told Angel.
Of course, Wei Li cannot speak and has no independent consciousness, but the moment it came to reshape the body of the star worm, Angel, as the creator of the Dream Crystal, "read" Wei Li's meaning.
It was also at this time that Angel knew that his previous guess was correct.
The reason why Starworm couldn't see the fairyland prompt was because he missed the last step of "integrating into the Crystal Plain of Dreams".
And when Starworm left the manor and went to the outside world, the final kick finally came.
