After Gleipnir finished speaking, he looked at Abigail silently.
Abigail's expression was a little strange, as if she was deep in thought, but also discriminating, with her brows furrowed tightly.
Gleipnir didn't urge him, he just waited quietly for its response.
About half a minute later, Abigail seemed to have clarified some of its thoughts. Judging from its expression, it should have come back to its senses. However, it did not respond to Gleipnir immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a few seconds, it said
: "What else?"
"what else?"
Abigail: "You just said that the Prada beauty pageant needs me. So how do you judge where I am? Why can you accurately summon the lightless space here?"
After a pause, Abigail's tone seemed smoother than before, and she continued to ask: "How did you know that I was staying in the darkness? You can't tell me that you have the ability to predict the future, right?
"
Facing Abigail's questioning, Gleipnir's expression remained calm.
She had anticipated this situation before.
It was definitely impossible for her to answer these series of questions directly. Even if she told the fairyland information and copy information, Abigail would not believe it.
So, she chose...
"Why can't I predict the future?" Gleipnir asked.
Abigail looked unbelieving and even thought that Gleipnir was joking.
But after a while, Gleipnir still maintained his calm and calm face, and his eyes revealed perseverance... Seeing this scene, it suddenly became undecided again.
After hesitating for a moment, Abigail asked in a very soft voice: "Are you going to tell me that you can really predict the future?"
Gleipnir: "If I didn't have this ability, how could I be here?"
After a pause, Gleipnir saw that Abigail still looked suspicious, and said again: "I am an astrologer."
Abigail: “Astrologer?”
Graipnir: "What is an astrologer? Observe the changes in the stars to draw on the power of the starry sky. And use the power of the starry sky to divine the past and predict the future."
"And I am the astrologer who controls the power of the stars."
Abigail has never heard of the profession of "astrologer", but she knows the ritual of "astrology".
It is said to be an ancient astronomical ritual that can predict the future through changes in the starry sky.
So, astrologers are people with divination abilities?
Faced with Abigail's doubts, Graipnir said calmly: "The ability of astrologers is not only about divination, but they can also do divination."
After the words fell, without waiting for Abigail to react, Graipnir added: "Everything I said above is true. If you don't believe it, you can use any truth-identifying method to judge."
"I'm an astrologer, no doubt."
Gleipnir remained calm and seemed not to worry about being "identified" at all.
Actually...
She was indeed not worried, because the series of words she just said were indeed true. Before saying that she was an "astrologer," she did not make a statement, but only asked rhetorical questions.
Only when she said that she was an "astrologer" and subsequently described the abilities of astrologers did she use a confident tone.
And these are indeed true.
She is an astrologer herself, and she does know astrology and divination, but she did not tell Abigail that astrology methods cannot be used in the modern city.
On the other side, Abigail thought carefully about it. This time she arrived from the dark corner to the real world, and the whole process was kept secret. No one knew except the girl who made a bet with it.
And it is impossible for that girl to pass on her information to the present world. - If she could really pass on the information to the present world, then there would be no need to go to great lengths to send herself to the present world.
Therefore, there is indeed no reason for Gleipnir to obtain the information about "the lightless space". However, for no reason, he can accurately know that he is in the lightless space, and even arranges a ritual to summon it.
it……
In Abigail's opinion, only the "foreseeing prophet" can explain this.
Although it was somewhat dismissive of the prophet before, now... it is a little more convinced.
However, to be completely convinced, more evidence is needed.
"I don't have the magic of authenticity, but I have another way to make sure that what you say is true." Abigail paused: "Wait for me for a moment."
Gleipnir didn't know what it was going to do, but he nodded calmly: "Okay."
Abigail turned around and disappeared, not knowing where she went.
Graipnir was not in a hurry, and while silently waiting for Abigail's return, he opened the "private chat channel" and told Angel all the information and clues he had obtained.
As soon as they finished talking about the information, Abigail came back before Angel could respond.
To be precise, Abigail's "figure" did not appear in the "Dream Bureau", but her "voice" reached Gleipnir's ears.
"Next, I will use the power of some illusions to compress them around you, so that I can sense the fluctuations of your consciousness more clearly."
"At that time, if you repeat what you just said, I will naturally be able to determine whether what you said is true or false."
"Do you agree?"
Gleipnir did not hesitate and nodded: "Okay."
As her voice fell, the surrounding "Dream Bureau" began to change. It originally looked like a cellar, but now the surrounding environment is like washed ink, slowly becoming distorted and discolored.
Soon, the appearance of the cellar completely disappeared.
Only a dark void remained.
And above this void, a light suddenly lit up.
This ray of light fell directly on Gleipnir's body, illuminating her into an outline of light and dark.
Graipnir tried to look up at the light in the sky, but she didn't find anything. She just vaguely felt that the "light" was a bit like a "crack", and she seemed to be in a dark bag, with the top of her head
The rip is the only way out of the bag.
The crack above became smaller and smaller, and the white light hitting Gleipnir became more and more concentrated. In the end, it was almost completely focused on Gleipnir.
This shrinking of the aperture and the contrast between light and dark made Gleipnir feel a little pressure inexplicably.
When the aperture shrank to the extreme, Abigail's voice came again. At this time, its voice became a little loud, and even made the eardrums vibrate.
It's like opening the door from outside the "bag" from a perspective outside the small garden, causing the entire small garden to vibrate.
"Now you can say it. I only have ten seconds to control the fantasy game. Please say it quickly."
Gleipnir: "I can guarantee that what I just said is true. Whether I am looking for you for the Prada beauty pageant or my profession, it is true. I am indeed an astrologer.
It is my ability to divine the past and predict the future..."
Before Gleipnir could finish his sentence, the crack in the sky disappeared.
The oppressive feeling of contrast between light and dark also disappeared.
Gleipnir immediately understood that the time had come for Abigail to control the Dream Bureau.
Sure enough, about a few seconds later, the surrounding void began to distort again.
Soon, the dark void disappeared, and Gleipnir appeared in an empty square.
A relatively mild light hit her body.
And although this light also came from above, it was not the previous "crack".
With this light, Gleipnir also looked around.
Because the field of view was too small, Gleipnir could not see the entire surrounding area, but he could vaguely feel that the square was very large and seemed to have no boundaries.
At least, Gleipnir couldn't see the border wall at a glance.
The floor of the square is made of reddish-brown oak flooring, which looks to have been oiled and can be clearly reflected.
As for the other surrounding furnishings, they are...none.
Nothing.
While Graipnir was observing, a light shone again not far away, but this light did not hit her, but fell ten meters away.
That is a clown with an extremely strong style.
Its face was painted as pale as paper. Under this pale background, an exaggerated smile was outlined with a strong black pen and red lines. The corners of its mouth were grinned to the roots of its ears. Its eyes were painted with black paint, but it could still
I saw the cunning and weird light in its eyes.
As for its clothing, it is no different from a circus clown, but in the details, there are a lot more accessories such as "flames", "balloons" and "ribbons".
This is the clown who belongs to carnival night.
If nothing unexpected happens, the clown under another "overhead light" ten meters away should be Abigail.
"Abigail?" Gleipnir asked in a low voice.
Abigail nodded: "It's me."
"This is..." Gleipnir looked around and asked curiously.
Abigail: "Where I once lived in the dark corner."
So, does this look like a dark corner? Greipnir looked around with interest: "As far as I know, the dark corners seem to be all buildings, but this place looks like a square without borders."
Abigail: "It's also inside the building, which is a breeding ground for monsters. And here, even though it looks like a square with nothing, in fact, the wanderers in the dark corners, as well as human organizations... all want to come here.
"
"Because this is a peaceful place."
"Here, the mind will become inexplicably peaceful and peaceful. Even the most powerful monsters or dangerous entities will lose their desire to attack here."
"It can be said that this is a safe zone for humans wandering in dark corners. There is no need to worry about monsters or loss of sanity. The only thing you need to worry about...is food."
Abigail paused: "However, I only simulated the safe zone, and did not simulate the sense of peace and tranquility. After all, this is a fantasy, and the requirements cannot be so high."
Gleipnir actually wanted to continue asking about the situation in the dark corner, but she also knew the priority of the matter.
Now, obviously, is not the time to wonder about vignettes.
"Are you satisfied with my answer just now?" Gleipnir looked at Abigail.
Under the top light, the contours of Abigail's face are more distinct, and her lips span the light and shadow areas at the same time. The shadow part seems to be smiling, while the illuminated part looks like a normal smile.
"I can't completely judge whether what you said is true, but at least when you said you were an astrologer, your heart and mind were in harmony, and the fluctuations were consistent."
"So, I'll just believe what you say."
Gleipnir: "I have already stated all our purposes. According to the agreement, it is up to you to say whether it is up to you. What is your purpose?"
"Are our goals conflicting?"
Abigail: "It's not inconsistent, but it fits perfectly."
"Compatible?" Gleipnir raised his eyebrows.
Abigail smiled and said: "Yes, because I came to this world to fulfill a bet and find a man named Yusup."
"And this Yusup, if nothing unexpected happens, should be from the Prada Media Company you just mentioned."
Gleipnir's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with shock.
"you……"
"Who was the person who made the bet with you? Why did you ask you to come to Yusup? Also, what are you going to do with Yusup?"
Faced with Gleipnir's three consecutive encounters, Abigail did not pay attention. Instead, she said quite comfortably: "Answer one by one, starting with the person who made the bet with me."
"Since you support the Prada beauty pageant so much, you should have heard of a person, her name is... Pai Pai."
…
Pie pie?!
At this time, Angel had received the "private message" from Gleipnir.
When he saw Gleipnir saying that there was indeed NPC information on the head of the clown at the carnival night, Angel was not too surprised, because this itself came from his judgment.
However, when I saw this carnival night clown named "Abigail Barbosa", it was because of the bet with Pai Pai that she sealed herself and came to the world.
This surprised Angel.
He had indeed heard before that the fundamental reason for the decline of Prada Media Company was the sudden disappearance of Paipai and a group of elites.
At that time, Angel didn't think about "Pai Pai" going to a dark corner. He guessed that Modern Style might have a dirty hand.
But now it can be confirmed through Abigail's NPC information that Paipai's disappearance is related to the dark corner!
There is a high probability that it fell into a dark corner.
Whether it was a deliberate calculation or an unintentional mistake is not important at the moment.
What Angel wants to know now is, are the elite backbones of Prada Media who disappeared with Paipai also in the background?
If they are all living in a dark corner at this time, then will there be another way to complete the main mission of the Modern City copy: open the door to the dark corner and retrieve Pai Pai and a group of elites.
As long as they come back, Prada Media Company's desolation will definitely change.
Isn’t this also a way to revitalize Prada Media and restore the glory of the beauty pageant?
