Chapter 2659 Broken

Oddly enough, after Angel parted ways with everyone, the direction of the hanging ladder gradually began to become normal. There were no longer all kinds of weird inversions or looping stairs, but instead turned into a 45-degree inclined upward ladder. However, the visible range of the stairs is still only within the red light mark.

All Angel could see were the two or three steps in front and the first step behind him. Therefore, whether it will continue to tilt upward until the end is still unknown.

Everything ahead is unknown, and there is darkness and nothingness around him. There are unpredictable dangers lurking in the void, and he can only move forward alone under the protection and guidance of the red light.

This picture is quite interesting.

If Mr. Feng had seen this scene, he might have been able to create a painting of a lone traveler walking toward a red-lit staircase amidst the snarling dark monsters.

If this painting really existed, it would be very epic, right?

Angel imagined various pictures in his mind, either imagining things or daydreaming about them. This was probably one of the few pleasures he had in the dark.

But speaking of it, this was not the first time that Angel walked alone on a hanging ladder in the dark void.

Before he became a wizard's apprentice, he had wandered into the prison ladder of the nightmare world.

For other people, any place in the nightmare world is scarier and more dangerous than reality; but for Angel, during his trip to Naraku City in the nightmare world, he encountered almost no danger and received a lot of help. , for example, the Demon Eater Kao helped him a lot; on the contrary, in the underground waterway in reality, Angel felt that he encountered more dangers.

Of course, this is just Angel's personal experience. If he told Sanders these words, he would most likely get an indifferent expression. But in the next few days to months, he may encounter various difficult tasks or tests given by Sanders. The jealous man is so simple and unpretentious.

Angel was thinking wildly while following the red mark and moving forward.

Although I walked alone all the way, I was not as lonely as I imagined. Firstly, Angel's thoughts were galloping, and secondly... the noise in the spiritual tether made it really difficult to feel lonely.

The psychic tether was not severed just because they were separated, and the psychic tether has always been quiet.

Doakes once again proved how noisy he is; Vai is also inexplicably excited for some reason, and can pick up a sentence or two when anyone brings up the topic; even Kael, who has never spoken much in the psychic belt, can Chat occasionally to prove that you are still alive.

Only the Black Earl remained silent as always, but this was only superficial silence. Although the Black Earl did not speak in the psychic belt, he secretly contacted Angel.

Black Earl: "How is the situation over there?"

It looked like concern, but it was actually a meaningless question. Angel believed that there must be something else going on when Earl Black suddenly came to him.

"I'm not in danger so far. I'm still climbing the ladder. Oh, by the way, after I separated from you, the ladder has changed a little bit. There are no longer those weird ways, but it has become a normal ladder that stretches all the way. "Although Angel knew that Earl Black had other meanings, as a junior, he still answered Earl Black's question seriously. Along the way, he asked politely: "Is everything okay over there, Mr. Black Earl?"

After a while, the Black Earl said slowly: "I have seen the statue of the pissing child you mentioned."

See the statue of a pissing kid? Angel didn't react at first. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly remembered that the statue of the pissing child was at the gate of the prison ladder.

Could it be that Earl Black has left the alien space?

Angel: "???" Why so fast! Already gone?

Before Angel could speak, the Black Earl seemed to sense Angel's surprise and replied: "To be precise, as soon as I separated from you, I took a few steps forward and saw the exit. But I'm still here In the alien space, I just split a clone and went out, making sure that the statue of the pissing child you mentioned before is outside."

The reason why Earl Black sent his clone out was not because of caution, but because he was worried that after he left the alien space, his psychic tether would be severed.

"What about the others?"

Earl Black: "I was the only one who found the exit. Everyone else is still on the hanging ladder."

Angel: "So, not only are the roads divided, but the lengths of the different roads are also different?"

"It should be like this. Maybe it's the unique mechanism here?" Black Earl paused: "However, this is not the main problem I am looking for you. I just let the clone enter the prison ladder. The situation inside is a bit beyond me. expectations.”

"Have you discovered anything?" Angel asked suspiciously. He had been inside the prison ladder before in the Nightmare Realm. There should be nothing strange in the first few floors.

"Broken."

"Broken?" Angel hesitated for a moment: "What do you mean, sir, is the interior of the prison ladder broken?"

Earl Black: "Yes, the internal space is all broken, and there are some unfixed areas suspended in the dark void."

Angel remembered that Xicia had said before that the high-level people were cut off. How come the bottom-level people were broken? Angel quickly asked: "What about the hanging ladder?"

Black Earl: "Although the hanging ladder is damaged, it still exists as a whole. It should be possible to climb up."

Hearing this, Angel was slightly relieved. If even the hanging ladder was broken, then they didn't have to look for Mu Ling. The broken hanging ladder meant that the lower level was not safe. With Mu Ling's cowardly personality, he would never stay in the hanging ladder again.

However, even if the hanging ladder was still there, the bottom level was actually broken. With Mu Ling's life-saving personality, was he really still in the hanging ladder?

Angel now regretted a little. He had relied on his experience in the nightmarish world to go to the hanging ladder, so he didn't ask Xixia about the specific situation of the hanging ladder in detail.

Moreover, he completely overlooked one thing.

——Xixia's news was delayed!

All her news was told to her after the wise master came. And the last time the wise master came was probably a few years or decades ago. In the meantime, the hanging ladder has changed, or Mu Ling has changed his place to stay, which is also possible.

"Is the situation of the bottom level breaking serious?" Angel thought for a while and asked.

Black Earl: "The edge is more serious. There seems to be a magic array near the hanging ladder. There are fewer damaged places, but... it is not absolutely safe."

Angel naturally understood the meaning of the last sentence of Black Earl.

Black Earl also thought of the same thing as him. The wood spirit may have moved.

"I understand... I will tell you in detail after we meet."

"Well." After a pause, Black Earl said: "It was Zhou Chu's idea to use the wood spirit to please the wise master. It may not be useful. At worst, we can change another way."

Black Earl's tone was very flat, but Angel could feel Black Earl's concern.

Angel was actually a little frustrated. If the wood spirit is indeed no longer in the hanging ladder, he is definitely the biggest one in terms of responsibility. After all, he made all the arrangements.

Being too confident often makes him ignore many details, and Angel does not want to reveal the existence of the nightmare world, so he dare not say it too bluntly, which also leads to others not being able to find the flaws in the first time, and can only follow Angel's arrangements.

This is also the "lesson" that Angel got when he was the leader for the first time.

Although it is not known whether the "lesson" exists or not, Angel has already started to reflect on it.

"If there is a problem, I will make other preparations." Angel paused: "However, whether the wood spirit can be found or not, I believe that the wood spirit will definitely have an impact on the wise master."

Black Earl: "Oh, are you so sure?"

Angel: "Zhou is just a guard, and the weight of what he says may not be enough, but Xixia's identity and status are special, so what she says should be more valuable for reference. And Xixia's advice is also to win the favor of the wise master through the wood spirit, so I believe it should be useful."

Black Earl responded quickly, but his focus was on Xixia: " Xixia's status is special? Do you know what Xixia's status is? "

Angel: "I don't know. However, Xixia herself has revealed many times that her status is extraordinary. Before she turned into a box, she was even equal to the wise master. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, from the fact that Xixia has the authority to control this alien space, we can know that her status is at least much higher than that of Zhou. "

After Angel finished speaking, the Black Earl was silent for a long time before saying: "Then let's look forward to her suggestions being really useful."

Angel: "Still looking forward to her news not expired..."

The Black Earl chuckled and disconnected the private chat.

...

Angel listened to the high-spirited chat of everyone in the mind band, full of worry and a little expectation for the future, but he felt a little guilty.

If the wood spirit really left, their trip would be in vain, and everyone would lose meaningful items...

Angel was silent for a moment, and began to speed up, hoping to leave here as soon as possible and go to the ladder of the hanging prison to confirm the exit.

However, after just a few seconds of speeding up, Angel suddenly stopped.

Because deep in his mind, at this time, a prompt came from the depths of his mind that a specific person had entered the Dream Wilderness.

Previously, the specific people here were only Sanders, Rhine, Tree Spirit... Namite and the Inspector.

But not long ago, Angel added another specific person who would actively let the "Dream Gate" power send out information: Xixia!

Xixia's identity is very special, a Baiyuan person from ten thousand years ago. She is also the "teacher of the Baiyuan tribe" prepared by Angel for Duoduoluo to guide him to better develop his own abilities. But what kind of person is Xixia, how big is her ambition, will she brainwash Duoduoluo... These all require Angel to further observe, so he set Xixia as a "specific person".

And just now, it was Xixia's prompt to enter the Dream Wilderness.

This is the first time that Xixia has taken the initiative to enter the Dream Wilderness.

Originally, Xixia took the initiative to enter the Dream Wilderness, and Angel did not intend to meet her, letting her slowly get in touch and understand, and this relatively gentle way would allow Xixia to integrate into the Dream Wilderness.

But now, Angel has to meet Xixia.

He needed to get a more specific answer from Xixia for the situation he had not asked clearly before. Now he was in a situation where he could only move forward and not retreat, so if he wanted to see Xixia, he could only go to the Dream Wilderness.

In addition, he was traveling alone at this moment, so he would not be discovered even if he went to the Dream Wilderness.

Thinking of this, Angel made a decision.

Angel did not continue to move forward, but sat cross-legged on the stairs.

Because Angel did not move forward, the red mark floated around him, leaving a series of flickering lights.

Although Xixia said that as long as he followed the red mark, everything would be safe. But Angel would not really entrust his life to a red mark of unknown depth.

In the darkness outside, there are so many terrifying dangers, as we can see from the fact that Dox was almost swallowed by the shadow before.

If he wants to go to the Dream Wilderness, he must be fully prepared.

The people and the time are all in place. What is missing is the "geographical advantage".

And the geographical advantage is the simplest link for Angel. If this place is "unfavorable", then it can be changed into "favorable", isn't it.

As for how to change it? As an illusionist and alchemist, it is still very simple for Angel to do it.

After a while, the red light slowly disappeared in the darkness.

It's not that the red mark disappeared, but that the surrounding area was wrapped by Angel with layers of illusions, and the innermost layer was an extremely luxurious nightmare.

The red mark was floating on the top of the extremely luxurious nightmare, like a red lamp, covering the nightmare with a layer of crimson light.

After arranging the illusion, Angel suppressed the surrounding atmosphere to the extreme. After confirming that it was correct, he sat on the sofa in the nightmare and slowly closed his eyes.

...

In fact, Xixia did not expect that she would enter the dream wilderness again in such a short time.

In fact, the dream wilderness is full of temptation for Xixia, who has been lonely for ten thousand years.

She had chatted with Bobota for a while before going offline. She had not embraced the sunshine outside, nor had she felt the fragrance of the soil... These are the most common images for ordinary people, just like air, and they have even ignored their existence.

But for Xixia, whether it is sunshine, rain, soil, grass, or even a withered flower, she can feel the power of "life".

This is the breath of life that she has never felt in ten thousand years.

So, after Angel and others left, Xixia was itching to sit on her throne. She took off her forehead ornaments and put them on again. After repeating this several times, Xixia knew that she could not escape. Even if she could restrain herself, her heart had already fallen.

The beauty of life and the beauty of the body are irresistible temptations.

Since the heart is so looking forward to the wilderness of dreams, let's go.

Xixia reactivated the forehead ornaments and walked across the dream bridge step by step. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the castle hall of Pat Manor again.

"Ah!" A light cry came from the side.

Xixia subconsciously turned her head to be alert, but found that the person who spoke was a fat middle-aged aunt.

"It turned out to be Miss Xixia. She suddenly came online and scared me." After the exclamation, the aunt saw the face of the person and immediately showed a kind and gentle expression.

"Are you...Maid Mana?" Xixia remembered that before he talked with Bopota, Maid Mana brought all kinds of delicious food.

Sissia, who hadn't eaten for ten thousand years, showed an inevitable enjoyment when drinking cream mushroom soup even though she was extremely restrained. This made Mana, the head maid, very happy. The food made by the chef was recognized by the diners, which was undoubtedly a happy thing.

Because of this bowl of cream mushroom soup recommended by Angel, Sissia remembered the name of Mana, the head maid.

"Miss Sissia can remember my name after meeting me once, which makes me like her even more." After saying this, Mana, the head maid, took Sissia's hand: "By the way, Mr. Jon just ordered a bowl of chive fried rice. I made several servings. Miss Sissia must come and try it."

Before Sissia could react, she was dragged to the kitchen by Mana, the head maid.

With Sissia's strength, she could of course break free from Mana's hand, but she could feel that Mana, the head maid, had no malice in her heart. Moreover, her straightforward expression of "like" was also very sincere.

Sissia really couldn't refuse such enthusiasm.

Because she hadn't felt this kind of enthusiasm for a long time.

And Mana, the head maid, really liked this little girl, just as Cecilia felt, and even vaguely guessed that this girl who was brought home by the young master for the first time might be the young master's favorite.

Because of this layer of conjecture, Mana, the head maid, naturally showed love to Cecilia... After all, Angel and Leon were both raised by Mana, and she also wanted to see the two young masters get married soon.

However, if Mana, the head maid, knew Cecilia's real age, she probably wouldn't think so...
