Chapter 2797: Anomaly

"Leave now?" Doakes muttered, "Apologise but not compensate?"

"Why should you care about compensation?" Angel said softly: "Actually, sometimes, I prefer just apologizing without compensating."

Doakes glanced at Angel and said angrily: "Because I care about compensation, I care about why it doesn't compensate!"

"I know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than that sometimes you get more if you don't compensate...this kind of game theory in psychology."

"But from my point of view, on a practical level, you have to compensate immediately to be satisfied. Who cares about the psychological debt?"

Doakes is not stupid, and he naturally understands that Angel is more concerned about "owing" than "equalizing".

This cannot be said to be wrong, it can only be said that it is suitable for people who have a lot of surplus food in their pockets. For people like Doakes who are often stretched thin, they still care more about immediate interests.

Angel also understands that situations are different, and the perspectives of looking at problems are naturally different. There is no right or wrong. Therefore, he did not argue with Doakes, but slowly collected the formation disk on the ground, and at the same time told what everyone was most concerned about.

How did he meet Tongxin Younu, and what happened in that short period of time?

The whole mental process was probably a sudden encounter, then being threatened, and later finding out that the other person was a fool.

After Angel finished telling the story, he shrugged: "At the time, I didn't know it was Younu's childlike innocence. I just thought there was something wrong with this guy's brain. Why did he harm himself? He even used his own blood to write a sentence that said he had no sense of threat at all. And full of grammatical errors."

"If Dumu Erbao hadn't suddenly mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten this scene."

At this point, Angel also finished collecting all the external array disks, stood up and signaled: "It's time to go, the next person you face should be the Mother Heart Younu... It's not far from us, it will be soon. You will feel our presence.”

The matter of the childlike slave is just a small episode. The real test for them will be the loving motherly slave.

This person can basically be said to be the complete body of Younu, and he is probably the most powerful among the three time bodies. The most important thing is that the loving motherly slave is probably what Geng Gui and Erbao care about the most.

When the childlike slaves are damaged, they can look at it rationally and apologize. But if it were a mother's heart that was hurt, it would most likely be different.

However, they already had a plan on how to bypass Mother Heart Younu, so they didn't panic.

What Angel was more worried about was the road after the Hall of Wise Men.

How terrifying was the infant spirit mentioned by the person who sent him the message? This is still an unknown.

Everyone set off again, this time, their expressions were not as relaxed as before.

According to Angel, judging from the energy flow of the magic energy array, they are getting closer and closer to Mother Heart Younu. Maybe the fork in the road will be not far away, and there may even be a loving mother at any corner ahead. The ambush of the heart. Because of this, everyone was on high alert. After all, they were facing an extraordinary creature that had not even been recorded in "Fantastic Beasts".

But in fact, Angel's apparent solemnity was more of a show, and his so-called determination of the distance from the Mother Heart Younu through the energy flow of the magic energy array was also false.

The energy flow of the magic energy array could not explain anything. The reason why he could tell that he was getting closer to the fork in the road was purely because he walked through that fork in the road.

Because Angel knew where the fork in the road was, he didn't panic, and he had already calculated in his mind that the most appropriate time to release the array was the placement of the array.

It can be said that Angel will be more confident this time compared to the two previous times when Gengar suddenly appeared and placed the array hastily. After all, Gengar's Raid is a moving stake, while Mother Heart Slave is a fixed stake with a known location. You can completely preset the position in advance to increase your certainty.

However, it was difficult to say this out loud, so Angel still had to look solemn like everyone else, while frowning as if he was thinking and calculating.

In fact, Angel's so-called contemplation is nothing more than constantly simulating various possible situations in his mind, and finding a balance point among all possible situations, and using this balance point as a basis to arrange external connections. Formation disk.

In other words, optimize the placement coordinates of the external array disk.

This is something Angel never dared to do when he was attacked by Gengar before, for fear that the hole would become bigger if he was too late. But when facing Younu, you can try to optimize and achieve the best results.

After walking for about a hundred meters, the light ahead became darker and darker, as if the light had been eroded by unknown darkness.

Even the surrounding walls, which were originally flat, began to show signs of pits.

There was also an old, decaying smell in the air.

"A fork in the road may be coming, be careful." Angel gave another warning in the psychic belt, and what they saw and heard in front of them really made everyone start to be cautious.

In fact, Angel knew that the fork in the road was still some distance away. The sudden change in the surrounding environment should have nothing to do with Younu, but the change in the environment made Angel feel more at ease.

Because the situation here in the nightmare world is generally the same.

And the Nightmare Realm most likely reflects Naraku City ten thousand years ago. So, was this place dilapidated ten thousand years ago? Perhaps, what happened to this corridor thousands of years ago?

Angel observed carefully. Although the wall was broken, the magic array was still intact, which made him feel a little relieved.

If even the magic array had problems, it would be hard to say whether they could move forward.

The further they went, the dimmer the lights around them became.

The spacious passage that was brightly lit before was now a bit like a tomb passage in a cemetery, narrow and dark.

And this kind of cramped environment is more favorable for extraordinary life like Younu, who can create large-scale, long-distance and almost unsolvable underground caves.

Narrow means it is difficult to hide, and narrow means that you can only escape along a small road. Moreover, there is no other escape route here, which is completely in line with Younu's ability.

As long as Younu hides underground and silently waits for people to come, he can be easily swallowed.

Even if Younu is found hiding underground, it doesn't matter, because there is only one road here, you can either turn back or keep moving forward.

Moving forward means you will be swallowed up.

The way back was not absolutely safe either, because there was a long section of the way back that was narrow and without forks. Even if Younu chased, it would be easy, without worrying about the enemy escaping.

Younu had planned very well, and in fact, this was indeed the best hunting spot.

But it happened to meet someone who knew magic arrays, and Angel's magic array was learned from Margaret's secret room, and it was an enhanced version specially provided for the Nightmare Realm. And the magic arrays nearby, including the magic arrays in the ruins, were all arranged by Margaret.

So, Younu just hit a wall...

...

When the lights were so dim that the shadows of the walls on both sides were almost stretched into dark grids, Dox suddenly whispered in the mind band: "Do you feel that there is something wrong ahead."

Angel naturally knew that something was wrong ahead, because there was a corner in the dark ahead, and the corner was the fork where Younu ambushed.

Angel was still thinking about whether to use the energy flow in the magic array as an excuse to tell everyone that he had found Younu. Now it seems that it should not be necessary.

When Dox was arguing or talking nonsense, everyone could ignore his words; but when he started to warn, no one would take it as a joke.

Along the way, everyone had witnessed how powerful his inspiration was, so once he started to warn, everyone became cautious.

Wai asked in the mind band: "Is there a fork in the road ahead?"

Dox had no way to judge whether it was a fork in the road, but he felt a sense of oppression between his eyebrows, and the further he went, the greater this sense of oppression.

When the solemn atmosphere enveloped everyone, Angel finally said: "Wai's guess may be true, and there is a high possibility that there is a fork in the road ahead."

After a pause, Angel continued: "If the fork in the road is really ahead, we must pay attention, the ghost slave may have discovered us."

Everyone believed in Angel's judgment because the atmosphere around them was indeed getting weirder and weirder.

The dim light source did not scare them, but the chill that penetrated into their bones made everyone feel numb all over... This was not a good omen.

As Angel said, if the ghost slave was ahead, it must have noticed them. Perhaps, the strange chill around them was caused by Younu watching them.

As for why Younu hadn't made any move until now, it was probably because he was waiting for them to fall into his trap. Anyway, there was only one way forward, and he could just sit there and wait without any effort.

Regardless of whether Younu was in front, the psychological pressure on everyone was already full, and their steps began to become heavy and slow.

However, this slowed pace did not mean that they were afraid, but a kind of... accumulation of power.

With Angel's reminder, they had begun to construct various tricks and spells to increase speed in their thinking space.

As long as something unexpected happened, and Angel threw out the formation plate, they would burst out all their strength without hesitation and rush through the fork in the road.

...

On the other side, in a corner of a magnificent stone hall, the flames of the fireplace brought a little light, and the young man transformed by the wise master lay lazily on the soft fur carpet.

Next to him, there was an open book that was turned upside down on the carpet, as if he was reading a book before.

But now, his eyes were looking at an oval bronze mirror with exquisite frame patterns above the fireplace.

In the bronze mirror, a girl with silver-white hair occupying more than half of the mirror surface was looking at the wise master through the mirror with her emotionless and indifferent eyes.

If Angel and others were here, they would immediately recognize that this girl with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes was the one they had met before... Laplace Gleipnir Luigi.

Wise Master: "So, you didn't give Angel a message?"

Laplace said lightly: "If the Angel you are talking about is the blond boy, I really didn't."

The Wise Master was not surprised that Laplace pointed out that Angel was blond, not red. Because he had seen Angel's "original appearance" in the Book of Truth, which was long blond hair.

"What is the reason, do you know?" asked the Wise Master.

Laplace seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "According to what he said, it is possible that it is an alchemical tool given by the Time Thief that concealed the bond."

When the Wise Lord heard the name of the Time Thief, he frowned slightly, but he did not comment on what Laplace said, but asked: "Do you believe it?"

Laplace: "Generally speaking, I won't give a qualitative answer to an uncertain answer, but since it's the wise man who asked, I can only tell you my opinion."

"I think the possibility of this answer is more than 50%."

The wise master: "In other words, you probably still believe it."

Laplace hesitated: "I guess so."

"Since you believe it, then I won't believe it." The wise master suddenly laughed and said this "rebellious" words in a teasing tone.

Laplace: "Why?"

The wise master: "Because I always favor the minority."

Laplace snorted and didn't believe this reason, but she didn't ask again, but said: "This gift was not successful, so the wise man's kindness can only be repaid next time."

Although only Angel was unsuccessful, for Laplace, one person's failure is equal to failure.

"If the wise man has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

The wise master nodded: "Is your body okay?"

Laplace's figure gradually disappeared in the bronze mirror. Before she disappeared, her voice came out: "The body still needs to sleep..."

After the voice fell, Laplace completely disappeared.

The wise master stared at the bronze mirror quietly. After a long time, he gently shook his head and threw the thought about Laplace's body aside.

"The person who can't reflect the gift on the mirror, Angel... Hehe, interesting." The wise master laughed softly.

He asked Laplace to give the gift to everyone, and he did mean to further explore everyone's identity.

However, what he didn't expect was that a powerful existence like Laplace didn't find out Angel's background.

In fact, the wise master didn't feel disappointed about this, but found it more interesting.

To be honest, the wise master actually felt that the descendants of Noah this time were no different from the descendants of Noah who came here before. Even if the "usurper who wanted to ascend to a high position" also came, what could he do in the Legacy?

On the contrary, the accident of Angel made the wise master very interested.

Even the goddess took the initiative to regard him as the biggest threat.

He seemed to be shrouded in mist.

And now, Laplace's words made the wise master feel that Angel was an anomaly.

If it was in other things, the wise master did not like anomalies, because anomalies often lead things that were originally established to an unknown direction.

But in the matter of the Legacy, he was happy with the appearance of Angel, an anomaly.

Because, if there were no variables in the Legacy, under the control of that person, it would always be the "Legacy". And the lost Qingkong Poetry Room may never come back.
