Of course, all this is just Gleipnir's speculation.
However, she was still certain. When she had a "paid chat" with Yusup before, she had insinuated information about Paipai.
Yusup lamented a lot about Pai Pai, which can be summed up in one sentence: his talents are no less than those of the old president.
When faced with Gleipnir's question: "Could the disappearance of Paipai mean that she doesn't want to come back?"
Yusup gave a very firm negative answer.
In Yusup's description, Paipai is a very responsible person. He defeated Prada Media Company at a young age and is very energetic and impulsive.
Nowadays, Yusup is trying to support Prada Media even by relying on the "meat show". In fact, he is also influenced by Paipai.
From this information, it can be seen that with Paipai's character, it is absolutely impossible for her to watch the collapse of Prada Media Company.
And she must have thought that after leaving her Prada Media, the probability of decline would be almost 100%.
Therefore, the bet she made with Abigail, the clown at the carnival night, in Gleipnir's opinion, there was at least an 80% chance that Abigail would temporarily become the face of Prada Media, saving the entire company from collapse.
.
If combined with the advancement of the main mission, this possibility can reach 10%.
After all, the main mission is to revive the Prada beauty pageant, and the key to reviving the beauty pageant is the "Carnival Night Clown".
Combining the two, it is not difficult to guess the reason.
…
"Now it's your turn to answer me, why did you arrange the ceremony to summon me? How did you know that there was no light in the void nearby?" Abigail looked at Gleipnir impatiently.
These two questions involve information about the fairyland...Gleipnir definitely cannot answer truthfully.
Even if she wanted to imitate Angel, disguise the fairyland information as a so-called "great existence", and then fool Abigail. This is actually quite troublesome, and there will be more questions that need to be explained later.
She didn't want to make it so complicated if it wasn't necessary.
Moreover, the more complex it is, the more likely it is that the problem of "not being round" will occur.
In addition, Abigail's mood is not as stable as Zuniga's, and it is even more impossible for her to tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir changed his mind and raised his eyebrows: "These are two questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?"
Abigail narrowed her eyes in displeasure, "Why can't you show your generosity first?"
The old god Gleipnir said calmly: "Similarly, I want to tell you...why can't you be the first to show your generosity?"
Abigail was choked by the rebuke, her lips trembled for a moment, and then she said bitterly: "Then come one by one."
"Can."
Grapnel paused and said softly: "Why do we arrange a ceremony to summon you? Because we need you."
Abigail: “???”
"That's it? You didn't tell me why you need me?"
Gleipnir: "Why we need you is another question. Just like just now, I asked you what you would do after finding someone, and you didn't answer me."
Abigail: “…”
Its eyes now have completely turned into dead fish eyes, dull and droopy.
It regretted communicating with Gleipnir a little, and felt that she had suffered even more from it than he had.
"If you are going to continue to communicate like this and break a question that can be answered in one sentence into countless small questions, then I think there is no need for us to continue communicating." Abigail stared at Grapney.
you.
"You demolished it first." Gleipnir countered.
But Abigail shook her head: "It's different. What I want to do after I find someone is the purpose of my coming to this world. I can't completely reveal it to you."
"After all, you may become an obstacle to me accomplishing my goal. Therefore, I can only try to be as subtle as possible and express it as little as possible."
"If you want me to fully answer, what is the purpose of my coming to this world."
"Then you have to tell me first, what is your purpose of arranging this ceremony and summoning me? If our goals do not conflict, I don't mind answering you."
"But if there is a conflict, then if I answer you in advance, won't it become a weapon to stop me later?"
Gleipnir's eyes did not change, but his heart was actually shaken.
I have to say that Abigail's words really moved her. Especially, she had some guesses about Abigail's "purpose"...
If Paipai really asked Abigail to help Prada Media, he must have told Abigail in advance about the threats Prada Media is currently facing.
Whether it is the Fashion Guild on the surface or the Dark Round Table secretly, they are actually threats.
It can even be said to be a hostile force of Prada Media.
From Abigail's perspective, it knew nothing about Gleipnir. If Gleipnir happened to be a member of the Style Guild or the Dark Round Table, then how could it be that it revealed its purpose?
Isn't it just a kind of enemy?
Therefore, at this time, Gleipnir actually understood and slightly agreed with Abigail's words and previous answers.
Gleipnir was hesitant, how about she "suffer some loss" first?
Just when she hesitated, Abigail suddenly said: "In this way, I will answer your two questions that have nothing to do with my goals. Then you can tell me your goals."
"If, in my judgment, it does not conflict with my purpose, then I will tell you my purpose."
In Abigail's view, this is actually a concession.
Gleipnir thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay."
Abigail: "Then you ask questions. Ask two questions that have nothing to do with my goals."
Graipnir thought for a while and said: "The first question is the question you just mentioned. Why does it look like a cellar in the dark?"
Abigail: “Because it’s the anchor.”
Anchor point? Gleipnir is a little confused.
Perhaps in order to show her "sincerity", Abigail's explanation this time was relatively comprehensive, and she even revealed some additional secrets.
According to him, the space between Wu Guang was originally a dark corner. If the dark corner wants to connect with the real world, it must have an "overlapping point."
And this "overlapping point" is the so-called "anchor point".
The vignetting needs to use this "anchor point" to deceive the original world. Therefore, generally speaking, the anchor point will simulate the real world environment, or even directly coincide with the real world environment.
Therefore, after Wu Guangjian connects with the real world, it will independently form an anchor point and simulate the external environment.
Only in this way can one stay stably in this world without light.
In other words, the way it turned into a cellar in the dark was not something Abigail did behind the scenes, but an inevitable rule of the intersection and overlap between dark corners and the real world.
After hearing Abigail's answer, Gleipnir felt like he had gained a sudden harvest.
In the past, its answer was always squeezing out toothpaste; but this time, it was like moving boxes and pouring them out, with a large amount of information, and much of the information was unique.
Like the "anchor points", "overlapping points" and "rules" it mentioned, this is important information that even Angel has not yet found.
In a daze, Gleipnir really had the illusion that a long drought would bring good rain.
"It was not you who turned it into a cellar in the dark. Then, it was your work that my 'dream' turned into a cellar, right?" Gleipnir asked curiously.
Abigail: “Is this your second question?”
Gleipnir thought for a while: "Forget it, but you still need to tell me how I want to leave this dream."
Currently, Gleipnir clearly knows that this is a "dream", but she has never found a way to leave.
Even when Abigail and Angel controlled her body before and after, her consciousness was still immersed in this "dream game" and knew nothing about the outside world.
Therefore, how to leave this dream is indeed what she urgently wants to know.
Abigail: "It was indeed me who made your dream turn into a cellar, but I was not the one who arranged the dreaming technique. It was just to make you relax your vigilance and let down your mental guard, so that I could control your body to modify the ritual.
It will be smoother."
"Is there someone else who arranged the dreaming technique?" Gleipnir asked in surprise.
Abigail nodded: "Consider this question a gift from me. The person who arranged the 'dream game' in the dark is the person who made the bet with me."
The person making the bet? That's Pai Pai?! Gleipnir immediately understood.
Abigail continued: "She asked me to come to this world, and she must have arranged some follow-up methods for me. Anyone who steps into the darkness will fall into the trap she set and fall into a dream."
"I had nothing to do during the days between Wu Guang, so I studied the dream game she arranged. Although I didn't understand the principle, it can affect the dreams of the dream game to a certain extent."
This is also the reason why Gleipnir's Dream Bureau appears in the cellar. It is Abigail who influenced the expression of the dream.
When Gleipnir heard this, he probably understood Pai Pai's intention.
Paipai was also worried that Abigail might encounter some troubles when she came to the real world, such as the crusade of "magicians" and the infringement of "hostile organizations"... Therefore, she arranged this fantasy bureau in advance to give Abigail
Buy time.
It can also be seen from this that the party attaches great importance to Abigail.
Then the intention of Pai Pai can basically be determined.
"As for how you want to leave this dream, there are two ways: first, when the time is up, you will wake up naturally; second, your body will return to the outside cellar from darkness, and you will wake up."
According to Abigail, this "dream game" will put people to sleep for a day and a night.
In other words, at least twenty-four hours.
And twenty-four hours later, it happens to be the time when the sealing ritual between Wu Guang is automatically lifted. This is obviously something Pai Pai specially considered.
As for the second method, which is to return the body from darkness to the cellar outside, Abigail has her own explanation for this: "I originally thought of controlling your body to modify the ritual, and then I would take you with me.
When there is no light, you will wake up."
"But who knew... there is actually another consciousness in your body that has taken away my control."
Gleipnir automatically ignored the second half of the sentence.
In the first half of the sentence, Abigail said that it would control Gleipnir to leave the lightless space. Whether this was true or a lie, Gleipnir had no way of judging.
However, now that Angel can control his body, he can confirm whether he can wake up after leaving the Wuguang Room.
From this point of view, what Abigail said should be true.
Abigail: "Okay, I have already answered the two questions you asked, and I have given you one more question in return. To show my sincerity, I can tell you one more piece of news now."
"Do you think you are trapped in the 'Dream Bureau'?" Abigail shook her head: "No, this is actually a kind of protection for you."
Gleipnir: "Protect?"
Abigail nodded: "Yes, I said before that it will look like a cellar in the dark because it becomes an anchor point."
"The anchor point is not formed immediately. It has a stable process."
"This process probably lasts a day and a night."
"During this day and night, if someone breaks into the dark space, the consciousness will be marked by the unstable dark corner aura. Pulling your consciousness into the dream state is actually protecting your consciousness from being marked."
Gleipnir: "What will happen if you are marked?"
Abigail: "Those who are marked will be more likely to be targeted by dark corners. In other words, you may be wandering around in the real world one second, and when you turn around, you will be swallowed up by the dark corners and fall from the real world into the dark corners...
…”
"For me, this doesn't matter. But for you humans, going to dark corners is basically a dead end."
I have to say, this news... is very important.
Gleipnir had heard from Angel before that he had been searching for the entrance to the Dark Corner Dungeon, but had no clues.
And now, the clues are coming!
Although it is not explicitly stated that people with vignetting marks will inevitably fall into vignetting, the probability is at least many times higher than that of ordinary people.
For people like Angel and Zuniga who chase dark corners, this is definitely not a negative effect, but an excellent gain.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir became much friendlier to Abigail.
Judging from all the information it revealed, Abigail was indeed "generous" this time.
"According to the agreement, it's your turn now." Abigail: "If you want to know the purpose of my coming to this world, you must at least tell me your purpose first. Otherwise, I won't be able to reveal it."
Gleipnir: "Since I agreed, I will naturally abide by the agreement."
After a pause, she said slowly: "I have already said the purpose of our coming here before. Because we need you."
"As for why it is needed? I will explain this to you slowly."
Gleipnir: "Do you know where you are in the world now?"
Abigail shook her head.
"We are now in...Modern City."
The moment Gleipnir said "Modern City", Abigail's pupils shrank obviously.
This was also caught by Gleipnir, but she did not point it out, but continued on her own: "I don't know if you know about Modern City... In short, there are three very important things in Modern City.
The competitions are the "Dark Competition" organized by the Dark Roundtable, the "Modern Fashion Show" organized by the Fashion Guild, and the "Prada Beauty Pageant" organized by Prada Media Company."
"These three competitions represent the highest level of the modern city and are the palaces pursued by countless magicians."
"But now, the Prada Beauty Pageant has been slowly removed from the three competitions. The main reason is that the former mastermind who owned the 'Carnival Night Clown' mysteriously disappeared."
"The 'Carnival Night Clown' is the threshold for the three competitions to be held. Without the 'Carnival Night Clown', the Prada Beauty Pageant will inevitably slowly slip from the three competitions."
"And my companions and I summoned you to save the Prada beauty pageant..."
