Combined with his past and the two things he experienced in the dark corner, Zuniga has been disgusted with anything that has anything to do with fashion monsters.
However, this aversion was not so serious at first that he even resisted challenging tasks.
After all, Zuniga is no fool.
He knows very well that challenging tasks and fashion magic can make him stronger. And only when he becomes stronger can he have more hope of saving the people of the mountains.
Later, the reason why I even hated challenging tasks was actually related to another thing.
"Before I entered the dark corner, the probability of encountering the fashion monster was actually not high." Zuniga said softly: "Like other magicians, I also need to arrange various scenes in order to get the attention of the fashion monster..."
"But often after hosting many stages, we still can't get a few decent pages."
"Until later, I went to...the dark corner."
"After I came out of the dark corner, I began to receive frequent attention from fashion monsters. For a period of time, I even spent every day in a coma... If I couldn't rely on energy points to maintain body nutrition, I guess I will starve to death in the challenge mission..."
It was precisely because after he left the dark corner, he was frequently attacked by fashion monsters. During those difficult years, he was asleep for almost twenty-four hours a day.
Not to mention eating, I can barely even wash myself.
It was also during this period that he completely gave up his self-esteem as a king and became a sloppy beggar... Moreover, he had no choice.
This experience once again intensified Zuniga's aversion to fashion monsters.
It's so serious that I even hate challenging tasks.
"So that's it..." Angel couldn't help but sigh after listening to Zuniga's story.
For other magicians, perhaps Zuniga's "talent" to attract fashionable monsters makes them extremely envious. But in fact, if you think about it for a moment, you will find that it is simply terrifying to think about it.
Because challenging space tasks will trap your thoughts, leaving your body in an "undefended" state from the outside world.
And the length of challenge tasks varies, with most taking one day or even more.
When your consciousness is trapped in the challenge space every day, facing the challenges of different fashion monsters, no one can stand it.
Moreover, Zuniga had just arrived at this unknown continent from his original continent. He had no identity, no friends, and could not even see the way forward. He just slept for at least twenty hours every day...
If he hadn't been a powerful magician and had energy points to maintain the basic activity of his body, otherwise he would have been trapped to death by frequent challenging tasks.
"However, this is already in the past." Zuniga: "It's better now than before. More than ten years ago, low-end fashion monsters attacked every day, and I was trapped in the challenge space all day long."
"Later, I gained the ability to directly shield low-level monsters, and I never encountered such high-frequency challenging tasks again."
"However, although you are not troubled by low-level monsters, there is still nothing you can do if you encounter mid-to-high-level monsters. You still have to enter the challenge space and 'go to jail.'"
However, the frequency of mid- to high-end fashion monsters is not very high. Sometimes they appear once every three to five days, and sometimes they only appear once or twice a month.
It was also from this time that Zuniga began to travel around this continent, looking for the breath of the throne.
After hearing this, Angel finally understood why the fashion monsters he collected from Zuniga were all intermediate fashion monsters. Whether they were "Variety Show Elf" or "Smoke Screen Scholar", they all belonged to this level.
It turned out to be because Zuniga himself took the initiative to block the challenge from low-level fashion monsters...
If Zuniga completely let go of this shielding, he would be a walking "task dispenser."
If challengers come in later, maybe Zuniga alone can feed the entire group of challengers.
Of course, Angel just thought about it. If Zuniga were to become a walking mission issuing machine, he would not be so evil...
"As far as I know, although there is very little information about dark corners in Modern City, there is actually not a lot of information about dark corners in other cities. There are even people like you who can get out of dark corners." An
Geer: "But I don't seem to have heard that people who come out of dark corners are chased and attacked by fashion monsters like you every day..."
Zuniga was silent for a moment: "More than ten years ago, I visited a person who came out of a dark corner. He is indeed different from me. He is not like me, who is pursued by fashion monsters every day."
"I actually don't know the reason for this phenomenon in me."
"I guess it may have something to do with some of my experiences in dark corners."
Zuniga paused, shrugged and said: "But I have had too many experiences in the dark corner. During that period, I spent almost every day with ups and downs. Every day's story can be written into a novel."
"So, I don't know what happened that contributed to my current situation."
Zuniga's words did not trigger the spiritual retreat, which also shows that he is telling the truth.
He himself also suspected that it was related to something in the dark corner, but he was completely blind as to what it was.
"If you want to hear about my experience in the dark corner, or if you want to judge what happened that led to my situation, I don't mind talking to you at night." Zuniga blinked: "But, you
But if I have to spare some time, I probably won’t be able to finish talking for ten days and ten nights.”
Angel: "..." He is indeed very curious, but if he is really asked to listen here for ten days and ten nights, then forget it.
Seeing Angel's expression of embarrassment, Zuniga burst into laughter.
"Ten Days and Ten Nights is just a joke, but if you really want to hear it, I'll go back and sort out some of the essence, and I'll talk to you next time."
After a pause, Zuniga said: "Do you have any more questions to ask? If not, I still have some questions for you people outside the world..."
Angel said first: "There are still questions."
Zuniga originally wanted to ask about the "people from outside the world", so he took the opportunity to discuss a small business with Angel: he didn't want to be trapped by the challenge task, but Angel had the need to challenge the task, and it was just right for him.
cooperate.
However, since Angel still had problems, Zuniga put this "cooperation" on hold for now. It would not be too late to talk about it later.
"I don't know what the problem is?"
Angel: "I actually had no intention of meeting you so early."
Zuniga nodded: "I can feel it."
When Zuniga discovered that the people from outside the world might "pay attention" to him, he made it clear many times that he wanted to meet the people from outside the world. Whether he went to the central city in person or came to the underground city, it was a clear indication.
But the "people outside the sky" did not have any reaction.
Especially that time at the "bakery", they obviously passed each other by each other, and no one from outside the world met him.
At that time, Zuniga felt that people from outside the world probably did not want to see him.
This time, Angel suddenly appeared at the Beverly Care Center, and Zuniga was actually a little surprised... He could also guess that there must be another reason why Angel suddenly changed his mind and was willing to meet him.
If nothing unexpected happens, Angel should have decided to tell the "reason" now.
"The reason why I came to see you this time is because I am currently doing a task that may be related to you..."
Zuniga guessed many reasons. Even after talking to Angel, he also speculated whether Angel wanted to cooperate with him and continue to challenge the mission.
But what Zuniga didn't expect was that Angel met him because of a "mission"?
"Is it the main mission?"
Angel: "It is somewhat related to the main mission, but it is not considered the main mission. You can understand it as a small branch of the main mission."
"Although it's just a branch, if you don't do this branch, the main mission will fail."
The spiritual resting place remains calm, which also means that Angel is telling the truth.
At this time, Zuniga finally understood why Angel suddenly changed his mind and came to see him. It was because he had to come, otherwise the main mission assigned by the Great Will would fail.
In a sense, it was the great will that led to their meeting.
"What kind of mission is it?" Zuniga asked curiously.
Angel: "Do you know Wu Lulu?"
Zuniga asked in confusion: "Who is Wu Lulu?"
Angel: "..." Could he have found the wrong person? No, according to his speculation, the person who told Wu Lulu the story on the roof was Zuniga.
Although Angel had doubts in his heart, he still told Wu Lulu's story from beginning to end.
After listening to Angel's story, Zuniga fell into deep thought for a while.
"Oh, I seem to remember it, I have a little impression." Zuniga recalled: "Ten years ago, not long after I came to Modern City, I would go to the top of a different building every day... because
I have the ability to stand taller and have a wider range of perception, and I want to use this to perceive the existence of dark corners."
"It was also at that time that I met a little girl who wanted to commit suicide. She seemed to be only seven years old..."
"She was in a very bad state at the time and wanted to use her own life to make her parents feel guilty...a particularly stupid girl."
"I sympathized with her and was ready to give her some answers, and then I discovered a secret about her."
"Secret?" Angel's eyes tightened, and he immediately realized that this secret was probably the cause of Wu Lulu's sensory disorder: "What secret?"
Zuniga could tell that this secret was probably the key clue to Angel's mission.
He subconsciously wanted to use this as a threat to discuss "business" with Angel.
But after thinking for a moment, he felt that doing so seemed too childish; Angel had shared clues about the "People of the Mountains" so generously before, and it would be a bit too much for him to use this to get Joe.
Thinking of this, Zuniga chuckled and said, "There is a fashion monster inside her."
"In other words, she was taken away from her body."
Angel: "Seizing someone else's body again?!"
"Yes, her body was taken away." Zuniga paused: "However, her situation is a bit complicated, and her body was not completely taken away."
Zuniga paused, without hiding anything, and recounted the situation he discovered at that time...
When he discovered that there was a fashion monster in Wu Lulu's body, Zuniga immediately realized that she might have been taken away.
With Zuniga's disgust for fashion monsters, he wanted to kill Wu Lulu right now.
However, when faced with a confused little girl who fantasized about taking her own life to make her parents feel guilty, Zuniga felt something was wrong.
He had seen with his own eyes a human being whose body had been taken away from him in a dark corner, so he knew very well that a human being whose body had been taken away from him should not react like this.
Maybe there is another reason for this?
Thinking of this, Zuniga took advantage of the gap between his conversation with Wu Lulu and quietly checked Wu Lulu's physical condition. Then he discovered a result that surprised him.
Wu Lulu was indeed taken away from her, but she was not completely taken away from her.
Perhaps it was because the fashionable monster that snatched the body was already seriously injured. After it entered Wu Lulu's body, it did not have more energy to complete the snatching of the body and was only halfway through.
Also because the body snatching was only halfway through, Wu Lulu and the fashion monster in her body were in a delicate state of balance, as if they... coexisted.
Angel was surprised: "Coexist?"
Zuniga nodded: "Yes, it is coexistence. You can understand it as a split personality. Wu Lulu has two personality consciousnesses in her body at this time, one is Wu Lulu's own consciousness, and the other is the fashion monster's.
consciousness."
Wu Lulu's personality consciousness is still in the main control stage. The fashion monster's consciousness is a sub-personality.
"If this coexistence is a true balance, then Wu Lulu may be like the protagonist in the novel, relying on the fashion monster in her body to become a magician at a very young age."
"But unfortunately, this coexistence is not a complete balance, but a dangerous balance that may be broken at any time."
"Because the sub-personality dominated by the fashion monster has self-awareness, and it is trying to replace Wu Lulu and become the main personality."
Wu Lulu herself was unable to detect the existence of the fashion monster.
But the fashion monster is very clear about what situation it is in. While it is avoiding Wu Lulu's discovery, it is trying to drive away Wu Lulu's consciousness and replace it.
The various strange phenomena that Wu Lulu saw, such as seeing her mother as a rabbit, seeing medicine as a carrot, even pushing her father, and Supa biting her younger brother, were all caused by fashion monsters.
When Wu Lulu met Zuniga, the fashion monster's "seize" had already reached an advanced stage.
Almost succeeded in seizing the body.
The iconic thing is... Wu Lulu's main consciousness began to feel confused about the time in the outside world.
For example, she felt that one second her father slapped her, and the next second she pushed her father. It seemed like a logical behavior, but in fact the gap was not two seconds, but a whole day.
She thought that in order to punish Supa, she locked him in the basement for a day, but in fact it was not a day, but several days, which eventually led to Supa starving to death.
This kind of imbalance in the sense of time is a sign that she is about to be taken away from her.
Because during the time she was missing, the fashion monster in her body was trying to seize the main consciousness.
Her subconscious is competing with the consciousness of the fashion monster, which leads to the imbalance of time sense.
"If it had been a few days later, she would have been completely taken away by the monster."
