Chapter 2653 Prejudice

Hearing the familiar voice, Xixia immediately turned around. Just in time to see Angel walking down the curved staircase on the second floor with a leisurely pace.

Seeing Angel's leisurely and casual appearance, Xixia felt her teeth itching. He left a sentence "in the dream" and ran away, deceiving her!

Before, I thought I could really see a ray of hope in him.

Liar!

I can't help it!

Full of indignation, Xixia stomped her feet and rushed towards Angel in one step. While Angel hadn't reacted yet, she grabbed his tie, pulled it deep and turned her back quickly, ready to step on his face with high heels and step on Angel to the ground.

Xixia did it, but in the end, it was Lulu who stepped on the ground with a wronged and sobbing face.

And Angel had lifted the curtain and sat next to the old man who called himself Jon without knowing when.

How to change the position, Xixia couldn't see at all. This body... is too weak.

"Gurgle, gurgle." Lulu's aggrieved voice was still floating under his feet.

Xixia reluctantly let go of his feet, strode into the small meeting room covered by the curtain, glared at Angel fiercely, and then sat on the other side of the long table farthest from Angel.

"Don't think that this is a dream you created, you can do whatever you want. I also understand the rules of the dream world. It is impossible for you to kill me here, and it is also easy for me to leave here." Xixia raised her head arrogantly, trying to seize the high ground with words first.

Angel slowly poured a cup of tea for Jon beside him, and then looked at Xixia: "I feel that in the few minutes we were apart, you seem to have made up a lot of stories in your mind. Have I made you dislike me again?"

Outside, Xixia's attitude towards Angel had obviously improved, but now, it has inexplicably become evil again. Angel can only guess that Xixia has made up some stories that do not exist at all.

"To use the terminology that mentor Jon taught me, you have... paranoia." Angle paused, then pointed at Jon beside him: "This is mentor Jon, my teacher, and a scholar who is very interested in the supernatural world. So, after he saw the gargoyles here, he had the idea of ​​studying them."

Angel did not say that Jon was his enlightenment mentor. After all, he and Xixia had mentioned before that the enlightenment mentor was a visitor from another world. If Jon's identity was revealed at this time, many secrets would be exposed, and there would be more things to explain.

However, this was also a coincidence. Angle did not expect that Jon would suddenly return to Pat Manor today. Otherwise, he would not have chosen this place for Bopota to meet Xixia.

"You also saw that my mentor did not intend to hurt this gargoyle... Well, by the way, do you know these two gargoyles?"

After Angle finished speaking, Xixia first glanced at Jon. As a former prophetic wizard, although he had lost the ability to predict, he still had no problem perceiving a person's good and evil. Although this old man named Jon seems to have done the same thing as those experimenters, as Angel said, he has no malice and is completely different from those hypocritical experimenters.

Jon, Xixia can let it go first. But Angel, she is not ready to let it go.

Although she has never heard of the word "persecution delusion", she can basically understand its meaning from the literal meaning.

"You said I have persecution delusion, no, I am just making a reasonable assessment and looking for the flaws of this false dream you created." Xixia said coldly.

Angel looked at Xixia's stubborn look and felt that his eyebrows began to swell again.

For those who have just entered the Dream Wilderness, what he dislikes most is to explain to them how the Dream Wilderness exists, because it is troublesome to explain, and all those who understand the Dream Wilderness will definitely become curious babies and ask endless questions.

Therefore, in general, in this case, Angel directly throws these newcomers to the Initial Heart City or the New City to understand and integrate by themselves. Instead of listening to others, it is better to observe by yourself.

This is OK for other people, but it is obviously not OK for Xixia. Xixia's expression has directly revealed that "everything is your conspiracy". If you don't explain it clearly to her, this conspiracy theory will definitely never end.

However, Angel will never come in person to explain such things.

"If you want to know where this place is, or want to understand it, go to see Bopota, he will tell you everything." Angel put on a deep look, his expression was solemn, and his tone also carried a sense of "this is destined by fate". But in fact, Angel's thoughts were not that complicated. He just wanted to be lazy and let Bopota explain.

Moreover, Bopota is also a Baiyuan person, and it is much easier for them to communicate than himself.

Xixia snorted coldly: "Popota? You still want to lie to me, he is probably also a fake Baiyuan person you created in your dream?"

Angel rubbed his swollen temples: "Whether it is fake or not, you can judge it yourself after you meet it. If you can't even judge whether your fellow tribesmen are real or fake, real or illusory, then don't even think about reviving the Baiyuan tribe."

Angel's words were quite powerful, and Xixia also listened to it.

Indeed, if it was created by Angel, it must have flaws.

It doesn't hurt to go and see it.

However, before that, Xixia needs an explanation: "I can go to see your creation. But you have to answer my question first. How do you know Coco and Lulu? Why can you even simulate their behavior patterns?"

"Coco and Lulu?" Angel was confused for a moment, then reacted: "Are you talking about the names of these two gargoyles?"

Xixia: "Yes."

Angel: "Are you familiar with these two gargoyles?"

Xixia snorted coldly: "You created them, and you still ask this kind of question, is it interesting?"

When Angel heard Xixia's answer, a smile appeared on his face instantly: "So, you really know them. That's good, if If you can understand what they are saying, go ask them if I created them. "

"What do you mean?"

Angel: "Literally, the Coco and Lulu you mentioned are the two gargoyles we saw at the second narrow opening when we came to the ladder of the hanging prison. The Black Earl said that they are already asleep and it is impossible for them to wake up. In this case, I will bring their consciousness here. At least this is a paradise where they can live in peace."

Angel's words were very beautiful, but in fact, he didn't think so much at the time. He just tried to see if he could pull the sleeping gargoyles into the dream wilderness to fill the gap in the "Dream Wilderness Monster Atlas".

Unexpectedly, it really worked. Moreover, the two gargoyles that were casually pulled into the dream wilderness at that time actually knew Xixia, and they seemed to have a good relationship?

That's great.

Popota alone may not be able to convince Xixia, who already thinks that the dream wilderness is "Angel's conspiracy".

But the two gargoyles that are familiar to Xixia should make Xixia believe that they are real, right?

Of course, if Xixia can't even tell the truth from Coco and Lulu, then Angel will admit that this is a conspiracy, and they don't need to cooperate. Xixia will continue to stay in the dark box and wait for the "dead wood to come back to life".

Xixia looked at Angel suspiciously, and then looked at the two gargoyles next to him.

"You said that you pulled them into your dream?"

Angel nodded: "Of course, before this, I didn't even know what they were called. So, you can ask these two gargoyles, Coco and Lulu, right, if they are virtual creatures created."

"Your creation, you can say whatever you want."

Angel held back his speechless mood and continued: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly? I repeat, I have never seen them before. How do I know their relationship with you? Who can tell me?"

"If you can't even tell whether they are real or fake, I don't think you need to see Bopota."

Before, Angel thought that Xixia was obsessed with conspiracy theories, and now he thinks that Xixia's IQ is probably offline again.

All Angel can do is: understand, understand.

For ten thousand years, Xixia has maintained normal thinking, which is good enough, and her IQ is not completely offline, and there are times when it is online.

Let's wait and see.

After hearing what Angel said, Xixia felt that she seemed to have been thinking about falsehood. If this place was not false, and Coco and Lulu were real, then their familiar behavior patterns could be explained.

However, this world clearly appeared after crossing the dream bridge. How could the world in the dream be real?

Moreover, Xixia knew the rules of the dream world very well. Except for the person who was sleeping, who could be brought into the dream world by the dream wizard, other people, even if they entered the dream, could not be in the same dream.

The size of the dream world was beyond imagination. Xixia had never heard of anyone who could accurately locate and bring everyone into the same dream.

Xixia became more and more confused.

But she still took Coco and Lulu outside according to Angel's words and began to observe and inquire carefully.

...

After Xixia left, Angel finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his temple and sighing: "It's so difficult to deal with."

Jon chuckled: "I think it's good for her to be like this. If you believe everything you say, it will be too tragic."

Angel: "Alas, she... is hard to explain to the tutor. Anyway, her IQ is high and low, and there is obviously a paradox - I can't know the relationship between her and the two gargoyles, let alone simulate the habits of the gargoyles, but even so, she still wants to think about conspiracy theories."

Jon looked at Angel's distressed expression , but smiled and drank a cup of tea: "Although I don't know what happened, from the moment I saw this lady just now, I knew that she was full of vigilance and suspicion of everything around her."

"This makes me very sure that you have brought her into the Dream Wilderness without explaining anything."

"You have to know that preconceived ideas are very important. She is unfamiliar with everything here, and she is obviously a transcendent who knows the existence of the power of dreams. Therefore, it would be strange if she didn't doubt the aspect of 'dream making'."

Jon's words made Angel feel enlightened: Yes! He did not give Cecilia any explanation, and he deliberately made a joke before entering the Dream Wilderness:

-He suddenly changed from a serious expression to a frivolous expression, and said "In a dream".

This operation will definitely make Cecilia think that she has been deceived.

This is nothing for other people in the outside world, because the question of "whether the dream wilderness exists" can be easily disproven by communicating in reality.

But Xixia is different. She stays alone in the box.

It is dark all year round, and no one communicates with her except the wise man who comes once every few years.

If she is not convinced of the existence of the dream wilderness from the beginning, she will probably doubt it even if she comes to the dream wilderness in the future... because it is really difficult to find other people to disprove it with her.

So Jon is right. It is normal for Xixia to doubt, and it is abnormal not to doubt.

Xixia's IQ has not dropped, but Angel's EQ has dropped... He shouldn't be so self-righteous and make a joke like "Popota, in the dream". Xixia's preconceived idea is not "the dream wilderness is real", but "I was deceived".

Fortunately, it can be remedied. The two gargoyles that Angel had pulled over before were actually old acquaintances of Xixia, which made it easy.

Although the two gargoyles basically had no way to return to their real bodies, they still remembered the past memories, and through this, Xixia should be able to eliminate some of her doubts.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Angel to think of how to relieve Xixia's vigilance.

…

On the other side, watching the change in Angel's expression, Jon understood that Angel must have done something else to make the other party more distrustful of the Dream Wilderness.

After asking, Jon was also stunned by Angel's "magic operation".

Angel scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then lowered his head as he did in the past, ready to accept Jon's "loving scolding".

However, after being stunned for a moment, Jon did not scold Angel as he did before, but his eyes became more curved.

"Great, you really haven't changed at all." Jon said with some emotion.

Angel: "Ah?" What hasn't changed?

Jon, with nostalgia in his eyes, said slowly: "You looked well-behaved when you were a child, but when you were really naughty, you were bolder and crazier than your brother."

"But, later you suddenly changed, becoming polite from the inside out. It was like taking off the romantic coat and putting on adult clothes, solemn and dignified, like a little old man."

"At that time, I thought the you of the past had disappeared. Now it seems that you are still there."

"Still naughty, and still the boy at the beginning."

"If you don't forget your original intention, you won't be confused about the future."

Jon's feelings also brought Angel back to his memories of that time.

Angel suddenly became obedient when Jon was getting weaker and weaker. Although he was still young at that time, he already understood that Jon's skinny body would probably not last long.

He always knew that Jon wanted to cultivate him to become a talent, just thinking that in the other world, he also wanted to leave some traces of Earth's civilization to prove that he existed.

Maybe the civilization of the Earth can also affect this backward world.

——At that time, Jon didn't know that the old earth continent they lived in was actually just a small island. This world is very big, and there are even other worlds... Otherwise, Jon really didn't dare to make such a bold statement.

The young Angel was very smart. He knew Jon's ideals at a very young age, and understood that Jon was cultivating him as a witness of the Earth's civilization.

In order not to disappoint Jon's hopes, Angel put away his past mischievousness, put on adult clothes, and put on a calm appearance, as if he had grown up overnight.

But can he really grow up overnight?

Angel frowned and replied softly: "Teacher Jon, in my heart, it's the same as before, not changed at all."

Jon: "What do you mean? I'm also a teenager?"

Angel: "The same love of preaching, the same love of feeling about life. Obviously not very old, just like the old master, love to teach people."

Jon frowned and glared: "Is this your respect for teachers?!"

Angel pursed his lips and didn't dare to answer.

The air was silent at this moment.

But soon, the solemn atmosphere was broken. And it was still Jon who broke the silence.

Jon's serious expression suddenly became a little bit unbearable, and he laughed out loud.

Angel looked at Jon in confusion, wondering what happened again?

After laughing for a long time, Jon wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "You just said that I love to preach, like an old scholar. In fact, Hei Wei also said that. But when Hei Wei said that, I didn't dare to talk back."

"Before this, I never thought that one day, when I heard exactly the same words, I could talk back and scold in return. It feels pretty good."

"It's a pity that it would be better if it was Hei Wei instead of you who scolded."

Jon explained with a smile.

And the Hei Wei he mentioned, whose full name is Xia Haiwei, is also Jon's wife, and she did not come with Jon.

Even though he came to the new world, Jon still deeply missed and loved his wife, even though he knew that he might never meet again. But the only partner that Jon acknowledged was Xia Haiwei.

Jon said with a smile, but Angel believed that Jon's mood would never be as happy as it appeared.

Just as Jon knew Angel, Angel also knew Jon. Jon looked fine on the surface, but in fact he just liked to keep up appearances outside, but once he was alone, he would probably sigh.

Angel: "If it's the teacher's wife, I don't believe that the teacher would dare to talk back."

Jon: "Don't underestimate me. I used to be very dignified at home."

Angel: "Yes, yes, but mentor, have you forgotten that you once said when you were drunk that your status in the family is: Haiwei is first, Qiao Mu is second, Shampoo is third, and you fourth."

Qiao Mu is the daughter of Qiaoen and Xia Haiwei, and Shampoo is a pet cat.

Jon looked shocked: "How do you know? When did I say that?"

Angel: "About when I was four or five years old, you and your father vomited the bitter water after drinking."

Jon: "...Do you still remember what happened when you were so young?"

Angel: "I didn't remember it before, but after I became a wizard, I remembered a lot of things. The mentor got drunk a lot before, and he told a lot of secrets. I remember..."

Jon slammed the table, interrupting Angel's words.

Seeing Angel looking over, Jon coughed twice: "You don't actually need to remember these things. Why don't I discuss it with you and forget all these things."

Angel: "It is difficult to truly forget the memory of a wizard, unless..."

Jon: "Unless what?"

Angel: "Unless you have the Voice of Forgetting. This is a mysterious thing that looks like a dressing mirror. Through it, people can completely forget certain things and never think of them."

Jon: "So...do you have it?"

Angel: "I definitely didn't."

"Then where is it?"

Angel touched his chin and recalled the records in Crowley's diary: "It seems to be in the hands of someone called the 'Heartbreaker Witch'. I don't know who she is, but she is definitely not in the Southern Wizarding World."

Jon: "..."

Angel: "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone."

Jon let out a long sigh: It didn't matter if others knew, he just didn't want Angel to know. It would affect his image as a tall and powerful mentor too much.

At this moment, the curtain outside was lifted, and Sisia walked in with a confused look on her face.

When Jon saw Sicia arriving, he stood up directly and said to Angel: "You should have something to talk about, so I won't disturb you. I'll go to the stilted building to rest for a while."

After Jon said that, he stood up and left in a hurry.

Just when Jon was about to lift the curtain, Angel's voice suddenly came: "By the way, I can promise not to tell, but if my brother becomes an official wizard and thinks of other things, and he tells it, it will be terrible. It has nothing to do with me."

Jon's steps stopped suddenly.

Yes, I almost forgot about Lyon!

This guy is older than Angel. He almost traveled through time and watched Leon grow up. Leon must know that he has more secrets.

No, we have to find a way to prevent Leon from mentioning these things. It's best to forget them!

Jon frowned and walked out with thoughts on his mind.

When Angel saw this, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He said it on purpose. It was better to let Jon worry about these things than to talk about his wife from time to time and lose his mind...
