"Calling you?" The middle-aged woman holding Henrietta patted her back gently and said softly, "You heard me wrong, I didn't hear any sound."
While Henrietta coveted the warmth of her mother's arms, she turned her head and looked sideways out the window.
The sky is still red, the afterglow of the setting sun shines into the window, and the panes are golden.
She didn't know what she was thinking, and kept staring at the sky outside the window pane.
After a long while, Henrietta suddenly spoke softly.
"Mom, I might have to leave."
Mother lowered her head and looked at Henrietta in her arms: "Let's go? Are you leaving here?"
Henrietta nodded.
"I feel them coming, they are calling me."
"Who are they?" My mother's face was full of confusion and she frowned tightly.
Henrietta was silent for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she slowly spoke: "I don't know who they are, but I know they are here to pick me up."
When Henrietta said these words, for some reason her heart was filled with unspeakable sadness.
"Do we have to leave?" Her mother held her face with worry in her eyes.
Henrietta nodded slightly: "I have no choice."
After a pause, Henrietta turned her head away and did not look directly into her mother's eyes. She just said in a slight voice: "But although I will leave...but maybe we can see each other again in the future."
Henrietta looked at the setting sun outside the window and murmured in a low voice in a voice that only she could hear: Maybe then, she can see her real mother.
"Mother" didn't seem to hear Henrietta's murmur, and continued to look at her: "Then where are you and...them going?"
Henrietta struggled to leave her mother's warm embrace.
She got out of bed and came to the door barefoot.
She opened the door gently, and it was dark outside.
But she was not surprised. She just whispered to her mother sitting beside the bed: "They told me that the place is called..."
"...dark corners."
As her voice fell.
The darkness outside the door suddenly turned on.
A very deep and long corridor appears outside the door. Through the dim lights in the corridor, you can see the appearance of the walls outside
The mottled light yellow color seems to have experienced countless years of erosion. The floor is somewhat uneven, and weak lights are spaced at intervals, extending all the way to very far away.
There are countless doors in the corridor, and each door has the same style, just like copy and paste.
"I gotta go."
"Mother……"
"goodbye."
After saying farewell softly, Henrietta suddenly fell to the ground.
A black shadow floated out of her body, solidified into a human form, and walked towards the door.
The crisp footsteps continued into the unknown depths. At the same time, the mother's eyes on the bed suddenly became clear, as if she had returned from confusion to shrewdness.
"This is..." She looked at the door and spoke softly.
But at this time, her voice was no longer the gentle female voice of "mother", but became a clear male voice.
There is no doubt that it was Angel's spiritual thoughts that entered the illusion.
He looked at the seemingly endless corridor and immediately thought of the secret information he had learned from Bonnet: dark corners!
Is this a dark corner?!
Angel didn't hesitate at all and took a big step to step through the door.
But when he walked through the door, there was nothing.
There was nothing behind the door.
The corridor disappeared, the lights disappeared, the endless rooms disappeared, and the dark shadow that emerged from Henrietta's body also disappeared...
…
Beverly Nursing Center, Office of the Dean.
Angel opened his eyes.
After he opened his eyes, he immediately ran towards the door, all the way down, towards the underground laboratory.
During this process, various roaring sounds and monster-like roars came to his ears, but these sounds seemed to be imprisoned.
I heard his voice, but didn't see anyone rushing forward.
Angel took a casual glance and saw a mutant lying on the ground in the corridor, twisting and struggling like an insect.
And his face became extremely ferocious, and his pale cheeks looked like a corpse.
He kept yelling inhuman sounds from his mouth.
Turing has been following Angel. When he saw this strange patient, he subconsciously drifted closer and wanted to observe.
The opponent suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were filled with white cocoon silk, rushing forward.
Turing was startled, and even the small golden TV had white edges floating around.
It wasn't until two seconds later that Turing realized that the other party didn't see him, but was just following some kind of wild behavior. Moreover, he couldn't pounce out.
His body has been fixed by nightmare.
They can only cocoon on the ground.
This is why there were roars all around, but there was no sense of chaos. The nurse even dared to help them go to their respective wards.
Because even if you support them, they will be controlled by the nightmare and cannot break the shackles.
Turing looked at this scene, and there was only one sentence in his mind: The end seems to have come, but it seems to be no different from usual times.
Although it didn't understand what was going on in front of it, it faithfully recorded all the images. This is the most precious true record in the first season of "The Savior's Daily Life".
Angel continued walking towards the basement, while Turing was like a reporter, recording everything on a small TV while following Angel for fear of losing him.
"Master, are their mutations caused by viruses?"
Angel nodded: "What else?"
Apart from the mutated weird-looking virus, he couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"Then what is their condition now? Are they alive or dead?"
Angel shrugged and said he didn't know.
He just used his mental power to sense it and found that these mutants looked like the "zombie" that appeared in some film and television game works on the holographic tablet, but they were not dead and were still "active" in their bodies.
Angel couldn't tell whether they were alive or dead.
Anyway, block it first.
Angel went all the way down and soon came to the corridor where the laboratory was located. Connors was already waiting at the door of the laboratory.
Angel: "Open the door."
Connors did not hesitate, immediately unlocked the three-layer lock, and opened the laboratory door with his own authority.
There was a fog in the laboratory and nothing could be seen.
Angel asked Connors to stay at the door and walked in.
As he stepped in, the surrounding fog slowly dispersed, revealing a girl's boudoir.
It was Henrietta's room that Angel had simulated using illusion magic.
Angel immediately looked at the only door. The door was open, and there was darkness behind it.
Angel used his spiritual power to probe out, but still found nothing. He only saw a figure...and this figure was the "mother" controlled by Angel before.
At that time, he used "Mother" to go out and found that he saw nothing. He immediately returned to his body and rushed over.
But even if he came here with his body, he still didn't see the so-called "dark corner".
Angel slowly walked towards the door. There was a mutated corpse at the door, which was Henrietta's body.
Angel did not pay attention to the body, but stepped over her, walked to the door, and then walked out...
It's still dark.
There are no corridors or endless rooms.
Even the "abnormal" information could not be found at all. If Angel hadn't seen it in person with an illusion before, he would probably have thought he was dazzled.
At this time, Angel finally confirmed that he had passed by the dark corner.
"The dark corner opened directly into the illusion, and even regarded the door in the illusion as a real door, and opened a corridor..."
Angel's interest in the dark corner was actually not that great. But when the dark corner quietly entered the illusion, taking away Henrietta's "soul" - let's call the dark shadow a soul -
His interest in dark corners arose.
Originally, he planned to advance this dungeon to the main plot, the "Disappearing Knight" mission, and then put it on hold for a while.
But now, maybe the priority of this side mission needs to be raised.
…
Now that the dark corners had disappeared, Angel stopped paying attention.
Instead, he sat on the soft bed.
He glanced at Henrietta's body lying on the ground, and her voice seemed to ring in his ears——
"Mom, I have to leave."
"They are calling me..."
"We will meet again, and then maybe we can meet the real mother..."
From Henrietta's words, Angel was sure that Henrietta must have realized that "mother" was fake. This did not surprise Angel. He did not control Henrietta's thoughts. As long as she
If you still have normal logic, you will understand that everything in front of you is fake, including "mother".
What really surprised Angel was Henrietta's description of the "dark corners."
"They are calling me, they are coming."
Does "they" here refer to the dark corner, or other people in the dark corner? If they are people, how do they contact her?
Angel was a little confused.
Looking at the body that had started to become cold, he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Could it be that the dark corner is related to the world after death? Or that people in Modern City will go to the dark corner after death?"
If that's the case, then wouldn't the dark corners be the hell of this world?
Is the fashion monster a demon from hell?
Angel shook his head, feeling that his mind seemed to be getting more and more biased. Forget it, since I don't know the situation yet, let's put it aside for now.
After completing the mission "The Lost Knight", you may be able to further access the dark corners.
While Angel was thinking, Turing wandered over to Henrietta's body.
"Master, what should I do with her body...?"
Angel: "Don't worry about it, just leave it alone for now."
Angel still remembered that after completing the hidden mission, there seemed to be a follow-up mission introduction. He glanced at it and it seemed that Henrietta's body was mentioned.
Turing floated back again, looking around Henrietta's boudoir and recording everything here on a small TV.
He even prayed to Angel and used illusions to simulate the previous scene of "deep love between mother and daughter".
These are all material for variety reality shows.
While Turing was collecting materials, Angel turned his attention to the text column.
Because of the changes at Henrietta's side, Angel didn't even have time to see his reward and subsequent tasks...
"Block progress: 100%"
"You have completed the hidden mission "The Obscure Savior"."
"Congratulations on getting any series of puzzle pieces (small)*8"
"Congratulations on getting any series of puzzle pieces (medium)*5"
"Congratulations on getting any series of puzzle pieces (large)*2"
"Congratulations on getting, "Appendix: Viralization"."
The rewards are quite luxurious.
There are a lot of puzzle pieces, and this time the puzzle pieces are not specifically designated as which series, but are of the "any" series, which means that Angel can transform at will.
Popularity, manufacturing, gorgeousness, creativity, style...any series can be chosen independently.
Not only are there small shards, but even large shards are rewarded.
It's definitely extremely rich.
The only thing that makes Angel feel helpless is that the puzzle pieces cannot be used directly. The puzzle must be unlocked first before the puzzle pieces can be used to replenish it.
When the puzzle is not unlocked, the puzzle pieces can only be viewed.
In other words, these many pieces of the puzzle are actually not very useful to Angel at the moment.
Angel finally looked at the only reward that was not a puzzle piece.
——"Appendix: Viralization".
The original meaning of the appendix refers to the additional part at the end of the chapter, which often contains some supplementary information, data, reference information, etc., and also details or expands some content involved in the main text.
But when it was applied to "Fashion Magic Book", the effect showed some changes.
"Appendix: It can be added to any page of the magic book to make the effect of a single page unique."
simply put.
The "Prologue" works on the entire magic book. The "Appendix" works on a certain page in the magic book.
For example, "Prologue: Spectrum" increases the abilities related to "light" in the entire magic book.
"Appendix: Photochemical" can independently increase the "light" ability of a certain page of fashion magic.
One is the general outline and the other is the detailed outline.
In terms of the versatility of the effect, "Prologue" is definitely better.
But the effect of "Appendix" is often more "specific" and more special; most importantly, "Appendix" and "Prologue" can coexist.
After understanding the effect of the "Appendix", Angel looked at the appendix he had obtained again.
""Appendix: Viralization": It can be added to any page of the magic book to make all the fashion magic on that page "viral"."
Although Angel already understood the effect of "Appendix", when he looked at "Appendix: Viralization", he was still confused.
What is “fashion magic virality”?
Are some viral enchantments added to the fashion magic?
For example, if the light-chasing magic is added to the virus, it will become a situation where when the halo shines on the crowd, everyone will be infected with the virus?
Of course, this is just a guess by Angel.
The specific effect may only be known after testing.
Under normal circumstances, after the "Appendix" is added to the magic book, it cannot be disassembled. But Angel has "golden scissors", so even if the "Appendix" is added to the magic book, there is no need to worry about not being able to disassemble it.
However, currently, in his magic book, only the two pages "Fashion Tailor" and "Variety Show Elf" are complete.
The Variety Show Elf is closely related to Turing. Angel didn’t dare to add “viralization” to this page rashly. It would not be good if Turing would be affected.
The "Fashion Cutters" page has a very important "golden scissors". If "virality" affects the effect of the golden scissors, it will be even worse.
Therefore, to test "Appendix: Viralization", maybe he needs to get a new puzzle piece.
