Chapter 2788 Lost Choice
"You have seen him too?" Laplace said in surprise. It was the first time that everyone could hear the ups and downs of her tone so clearly.
"I have seen him too?" Angel looked at Laplace with a suspicious tone.
The others were shocked that Angel had seen the Time Thief, but before they were shocked, another potential seed marked by the Time Thief came!
Dox pointed at Laplace with trembling fingers: "You mean, have you seen the Time Thief?"
Laplace nodded.
Dox covered his face with a positive answer and muttered to himself: "Why, why... Angel is fine, why can even a creature who is not a human be chosen by the Time Thief! Look at me, I am so outstanding and talented, why don't you come to steal my choice? No, you don't even need to steal, I will rush to give it to you!"
Dox's sad words did not attract the attention of others except that Kael and Wai each cast a complex look with different emotional colors at him.
Angel focused on Laplace, and Laplace also stared at Angel.
This subtle atmosphere of eye contact lasted for several seconds, and Angel was the first to break the silence: "You have seen the Time Thief, which means that the Time Thief also took away one of your choices?"
Laplace nodded: "He took away one of my...precious choices."
Angel: "Then he must have compensated you?"
Laplace: "Yes. I can move freely in the Sea of Mirrors, which is one of his compensations."
One of the compensations? Angel thought to himself, so there are other compensations? It seems that what Laplace said was not exaggerated. The Time Thief must have taken away a very precious choice for Laplace, otherwise it would not be possible to compensate multiple times.
Moreover, the ability to move freely in the Sea of Mirrors is already very precious, and it is only one of the compensations.
From this, it can be seen from the side that the Time Thief should value Laplace very much... It is probably the focus of observation.
I just don't know, in addition to the compensation that Laplace took the initiative to say, what other compensations does the Time Thief have for her? Will the reflection of the heart be compensation?
While Angel's mind was racing, he kept talking: "It seems that the Time Thief values you very much, but being valued by him is not necessarily a good thing."
Laplace remained silent.
From Laplace's behavior, she should also know the bad deeds of the Time Thief. Even if he gave compensation, he stole other people's lives. If he really took away your most precious choice, it means that your life was completely ruined by him.
Angell: "Although the Time Thief's behavior is not so fair, there are still many people flocking to it, because the Time Thief will definitely give compensation when he takes your choice."
"You met the Time Thief and got compensation. Similarly, I met him in the Alchemical Omen, and I also got compensation. But my compensation is not compensated in my own ability, but in..." Angell pointed to the cloak behind him: "The compensation is on this cloak I made."
"So, the Bloody Night Shelter looks like a prop to prevent prophecy, but it also contains the power given by the Time Thief."
When Angell said this, everyone understood why Angell took out the Bloody Night Shelter.
The props to prevent prophecy are rare in themselves, and the cloak refined by Angell is not only rare, but also attached with the power of the Time Thief.
A powerful existence like the Time Thief has the ability to defy the heavens even if only a little energy leaks from his fingers. What's more, the power of the Time Thief on the cloak was specially given by him.
Before, when everyone looked at the Bloody Night Shelter, they were mostly envious. But at this time, even the Black Earl had a trace of greed.
This kind of treasure is hard to come by.
However, the Black Earl's greed was only for a moment. He knew very well that the item that Angel had refined for him must be similar to the blood source binding. Even if it was really taken away, it would probably only cause harm without any benefit.
On the other side, Laplace in the mirror also understood what Angel meant: "Time Thief, has this alchemical item been given a more powerful ability?"
Angel nodded: "There are many kinds of abilities, mainly amplification, but also the ability to block outsiders from prying."
"And this ability to prevent prying... the upper limit is very high." Angel paused deliberately, looking unwilling to talk about it.
Everyone also understood. After all, this was the ability that the Time Thief gave to the Bloody Night Shelter, and it involved personal privacy. It was already very good that Angel was willing to talk about the general content. If the details were told, and if there were big mouths on the scene, outsiders would definitely try to target Bloody Night Asylum first when they wanted to target Angell, which was equivalent to Angell pitting himself.
So, if he kept it a secret or talked about it vaguely, they would understand.
Although Laplace was not familiar with human nature, she could roughly understand why Angell was unwilling to talk about it in detail. Just like she didn't want to tell all the abilities she got from the time thief, it was related to her survival.
However, based on what Angell said, Laplace couldn't judge whether it was really Bloody Night Asylum that blocked the reflection of the heart.
The core of the ability of reflection of the heart is "reflection". Through the reflection of the mirror, the side of the heart that is not easy to be perceived by oneself is displayed in the mirror.
There is still a distance between "reflection" and "spying".
But even if "reflection" cannot be directly equated with "spying". But if you look closely, reflecting other people's hearts and "spying" still overlap to some extent.
So, even if Laplace still feels that Bloody Night Asylum may not be the real answer, she cannot completely deny that it is impossible.
Moreover, Laplace knows that the core of the reflection of the heart is reflection, not peeping, so she can adjust the tendency of the scale in her heart.
But Angel didn't know. At most, he knew from his own words that the reflection of the heart was not a prophecy, but he couldn't judge whether it was peeping or not.
Laplace put himself in Angel's position. In the case of knowing nothing about the reflection of the heart, even Laplace would probably think that the reflection of the heart is a kind of ability mainly based on "spying".
Then, Angel's "answer" with Bloody Night Asylum was actually very sincere. He should have thought about it seriously and selected the answer he thought was most likely.
If Angel was a little perfunctory, Laplace could give a denial. But judging from the current situation, whether Bloody Night Asylum is the real answer or not, Laplace can only accept it... Unless Angel is lying, Bloody Night Asylum does not have the ability of the Time Thief.
And whether it is a lie or not is also easy to verify.
Laplace thought about this, raised his eyes, and stared at Angel with eyes without any emotion.
At first, Angel did not notice anything unusual, because Laplace had been paying attention to him most of the time since he appeared.
Until the Bloody Night Asylum suddenly flashed a faint light, and Laplace suddenly closed his eyes, looking shocked.
Seeing this, Angel suddenly realized that Laplace should be testing whether Bloody Night Asylum can prevent peeping.
Angel did not have any opinion on this. If it were him, he would also have doubts. However, it was a bit rude to start the test without any signs.
But thinking about Laplace's character, Angel was relieved. This is a homegirl who has been staying in the Sea of Mirrors for many years. Even if she has seen countless memories, it is impossible to truly understand the internalized things like "etiquette" by just looking at the memories floating in the Sea of Mirrors.
What's more, the memories floating in the Sea of Mirrors are not necessarily "etiquette", and there may be more chaotic ones.
Angel did not speak, but just stared at Laplace quietly.
After a long while, Laplace opened her eyes. There were a little bloodshot in her eyes, but overall she did not seem to have suffered much backlash.
However, Laplace also proved with actual actions that the Blood Night Shelter does have a strong preventive effect against peeping.
Even though Laplace is now just a mirror image, not the real body, with the ability of the three time bodies, plus the natural peeping bonus of the creatures in the mirror, the peeping alone can at least reach the level of the wise master.
But it was still blocked by the seemingly inconspicuous cloak.
From this point of view, Angel should not have lied. If it weren't for the ability given by the Time Thief, how could an alchemical item that was not even at a high level resist her prying.
As for Angel, after seeing Laplace open his eyes, he said: "I wonder if Laplace is satisfied with this answer?"
Laplace pondered for a moment before letting out a long breath: "Okay."
Not satisfied, but okay.
In other words, Laplace still had doubts in his heart, but after comprehensive consideration, he still agreed with the answer given by Angel.
Angel also heard the reluctance in Laplace's tone, but their conversation this time was itself a transaction. As long as it was a transaction, it would be difficult to be absolutely fair. As long as both parties agreed, then in his opinion, this transaction was considered a success.
"Since the transaction has been reached, my mission is also over... Even if it is not perfect, it is also an explanation to the wise man." As Laplace said, the long hair around her that was enough to cover the ground began to float slowly, wrapping her body little by little.
As light and shadow intertwined, Laplace's figure began to blur, and the prisms full of geometric beauty around him gradually dissipated.
Seeing this, Angel hurriedly shouted: "Wait a moment."
Half of Laplace's face was surrounded by hair, only the indifferent eyes were still exposed, and she glanced at Angel faintly.
Without saying anything, she just used her eyes to ask Angel what he meant?
Angel: "Are you interested in talking to me privately about the time thief?"
Angel deliberately emphasized "privately", which means only the two of them.
After all the previous investigations, Angel still felt that Laplace was more suitable to go to the Dream Wilderness, so if Laplace agreed to talk privately, he wanted to give her the login device. As for the matter of the time thief, it didn't matter whether they talked about it or not.
Hearing Angel's invitation, Laplace did not stop his disappearing figure, but just looked at Angel deeply, leaving a sentence: "I said that I will not leave the Sea of Empty Mirror, and my time body will not go to the reality for unnecessary reasons. So, if you really want to talk, then come to the Mirror Realm, I will wait for you here."
After the voice fell, Laplace's figure completely disappeared.
The slightly solemn atmosphere has now returned to the previous relaxed atmosphere.
"Hey, a young man in love, but rejected. Are you angry? Furious? Do you need to vent?" Dox's unreliable voice sounded beside him, "How about I go to Paradise to help you reserve a seat? Um... you like the porcelain doll style, Paradise also has it."
Angel glanced at Dox and said casually: "It's a pity that there is no Paradise in the Savage Cave. The two wizard markets closer to the Savage Cave, one collapsed in the blood fusion incident, and the other wizard market, Dusk Well, their Paradise was also closed. Um... my mentor did it."
"So, you may not be able to reserve a seat."
Dox didn't react at first, but when Angel said the last sentence, he immediately understood.
This is arranging his "afterlife" - what will happen later!
Dox's chest rose and fell, and he felt suffocated, but he didn't know how to refute. If he said "I won't go" stubbornly, Angel would definitely start to talk about debts, but if he remained silent, wouldn't it be equivalent to tacitly following Angel?
After several rounds of heavy breathing, Dox finally chose to "be silent".
The tendency of inspiration, coupled with the fact that he had been beaten by the Black Count in all aspects of the debate on the theory of freedom during this period, he also reflected on "freedom", so he just accepted it.
Anyway, wherever he went, he would have a way to eat and drink spicy food!
Seeing that Dox did not refute and did not care, Angel turned his head and looked at the Black Count: "What do you think the wise master meant by asking Laplace to come?"
The Black Count: "The meaning? It's just a surprise to further explore the intelligence."
"Obviously, the truth has been signed, and it's a bit redundant to do this?" Wai said.
Dox: "This is the result of thinking too much, just like you, if you figured it out earlier, you wouldn't have dragged it on for so many years..."
As Dox said, he looked at Wai's flat face without any curves... The reason why there is no curve is because his "nose" is now flying to the side, and there is only a black and red hole where Wai's nose used to be.
Dox: "How about I use my blood to give you a nose first?"
Dox said as he stretched out his hand. The skin on his palm rolled, and finally a nose-like organ emerged.
Way frowned and said with disgust: "I don't want it."
Dox clenched his palm, and the nose disappeared: "I'm doing this for your own good. You look so ugly like this."
Dox turned his head and looked at Angel: "How about you give him an illusion, at least don't scare the children."
Way: "...Where are the children?!"
Dox: "What if there are one-eyed Dabao, one-eyed Erbao, and one-eyed Xiaobao later? Aren't they children?"
Way was about to refute, but saw Angel looking over: "How about the same nose as before?"
Way's originally high arrogance immediately slipped, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'll trouble you, sir."
Angel smiled, flicked his hand, and an illusion appeared on Wai's face, exactly the same as Wai's nose before.
If the Black Earl wants to attach back, it will not destroy the illusion. It can be said that it is completely tailor-made.
This illusion is not troublesome. Sanders's phantom mantis hands are covered by this illusion.
After casting, it can last for years. Even if the time is up, as long as Wai occasionally releases a little magic power into it, it can continue to be maintained.
It is a basic and practical illusion.
After covering Wai's nose, Angel slowly moved his eyes down and looked at the silent shadow on the ground.
