Chapter 2997: Standing Still

After returning to the heart space, Laplace glanced at Angel and whispered: "You are cautious. But it's good this way. To a certain extent, it prevents intruders from entering the heart space through the mirror channel."

Angel: "I don't have so many ideas. I just think it's not appropriate to open the door in that place."

Half a minute ago, when Angel was about to leave the buffer space, he did two things. The first thing was to leave the wish book and the gem teapot in the buffer space. Anyway, the buffer space can also serve as a temporary storage; the second thing was to arrange an illusion at the entrance of the buffer space and the mirror channel.

If you look at it from the buffer space at this time, you can find that there is only one door in the entire buffer space. That is the mirror door that the Cha Cha mirror leads to the buffer space.

The other entrances and exits have disappeared.

In other words, under the cover of the nightmare illusion, they have become a series of white walls.

Because of the nearly realistic effect of the nightmare illusion, ordinary people can't see that there is a passage on the wall. Even if you know there is a passage, if you can't break the nightmare illusion, you can't enter the heart space.

Such a setting, in Laplace's opinion, is a cautious performance...

However, Angel didn't consider so much, just to achieve the overall layout of the buffer space, that is, the decoration style should be consistent. Under this requirement, the door of the mirror passage opened a little abruptly, so Angel simply covered it.

Anyway, for him, it doesn't matter whether he can see the door or not.

Laplace: "Let's turn the page on the buffer space in advance and get back to the topic... I remember you should leave the underground maze. How come you have time to come in? Do you want to see if there is any harvest in the heart space?"

"If you really come for this, it's a pity that no real objects have been found in the Sea of ​​Mirrors."

Angel shook his head: "No, the real objects are not that important to me. I came for your power."

Angel had promised Laplace a long time ago to give her the power of a dream crystal, but it was forced to postpone it due to various matters.

Angel thought that now that he had left the underground waterway, he found some free time for himself under the excuse of "sedimentation".

Since nothing happened before and after, Angel thought about putting his previous promise into practice.

Anyway, it doesn't take too long to bear the power of Nightmare. Only studying the power and developing it in depth will take a lot of time.

How to study and develop the power is not something Angel needs to worry about. It is naturally left to Laplace to deal with it.

He only needs to fulfill his promise.

And fulfilling the promise also means that the foundation of mutual trust between them can be further improved.

After Angel explained the situation, Laplace did not shirk it and nodded.

However, Angel thought well, but the reality is often contrary to what he thought.

When they logged into Dream Crystal Origin again, Angel casually sensed the general situation of Dream Crystal Origin and found a bad news.

Luigi still didn't come out of the copy.

If Luigi didn't come out of the copy, Laplace would not accept the power. The reason is also very simple, for fear that accepting the power would affect the normal operation of Dream Wonderland, causing problems on Luigi's side.

Although Angel felt that this possibility was very small, the situation in Dream Crystal Origin was too different from that in Dream Wilderness.

The beginning of Dream Wilderness was more like building a world similar to the wizard world. To put it simply, it was a farming-style beginning.

The beginning of Dream Crystal Origin was a player-style beginning. Because the first power of Dream Crystal Origin was "Dream Wonderland".

The power of Dream Wonderland was very special. It was a big unity integrated together, and it was also a small puzzle scattered everywhere.

The so-called wonderland was more like a copy attached to the Dream Crystal Origin. The copy had its own world and unique rules.

The source of the birth of Dream Wonderland was memory, the dream of the cleaner, and those unspeakable rules.

The power that Laplace had to bear was also related to memory.

It was very likely that the underlying logic of Dream Wonderland would intersect with Laplace's power. Once there was a real intersection, Laplace's worry would not be aimless.

It is really possible that Luigi will be affected when inheriting the power.

Even if this possibility is just a one-time possibility, Laplace does not want to gamble. After all, their current situation is not critical, so there is no need to gamble.

Therefore, the premise for Laplace to inherit the power must wait until Luigi leaves "Uriel's Choice".

Angel does not know what happened to Luigi. Why did Luigi not complete a small "music specialization" copy?

Angel still remembers that Luigi's main task is to use the instrument in his hand to untie the knot in Uriel's heart.

If failed, the copy will be reset infinitely.

Only after completing all the main tasks can Luigi leave "Uriel's Choice".

Based on Angel's understanding of Luigi, although this guy is not good at writing poetry, his music level is close to that of a master. With his musical attainments, he should not be unable to untie Uriel's knot until now, right?

Or did Luigi resolve Uriel's knot, but then enter other main quests?

After all, the Wonderland prompt clearly states that Luigi must complete "all" main quests before he can leave the instance. Everything here may not be as simple as untying the knot in your heart.

Angel was silent for a moment and said, "How about we take Luigi offline first?"

Laplace: "He has not been offline since he entered Wonderland."

Meaning, she couldn't reach Luigi.

This won't be difficult, though, since Angel can contact Luigi.

But after Angel expressed his thoughts, Laplace shook his head: "Forget it, let's wait until he leaves Fairyland before talking about power."

Laplace knew Luigi's character very well. He appears to be very easy-going, but when it comes to art, his stubbornness comes online.

Angel forcefully persuades Luigi to log off, and Luigi will definitely not object. But who can be sure that Laplace's ability to carry power will not affect "Uriel's decision" when Luigi goes offline?

If "Uriel's Choice" changes due to the birth of new powers, then this may become a knot in Luigi's heart.

Again, it's not a matter of life and death, so there's no need to gamble.

"Uriel's Choice" will eventually end, and it is okay to wait until then to take on the power.

Angel thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's wait until Luigi comes out."

After a pause, Angel looked at Laplace: "Do you want to check on Luigi?"

Laplace didn't refuse, and nothing happened anyway. Maybe not long after they passed by, Luigi would be freed from "Uriel's choice"?

Offline, online.

In just a few seconds, they arrived at the location of the copy of "Uriel's Choice".

The copy of "Uriel's Choice" is located in a somewhat dilapidated double-story attic.

Based on previous dungeon experiences, we know that once there is a clear breakthrough within the dungeon, the external image will also change.

Nowadays, the double-story attic has not changed and is still as dilapidated. From this, we can also know that Luigi's main mission has not made any breakthrough progress at all.

Angel signaled Laplace to step back first, and then he activated the power tree and sunk his thoughts into the attic.

As his thoughts continued to deepen, Angel's perspective slowly changed. After a while, Angel entered the familiar perspective of Hakoden. Angel felt as if he was standing outside the "birdcage", quietly peering into the miniature attic placed inside the "light shield".

The angle of view further stretched, and soon Angel locked Luigi's position.

Angel currently doesn't know how far Luigi has progressed, but his position is completely unchanged from before. Could it be that he still hasn't solved the knot in Uriel's heart?

Angel did not contact Luigi immediately, but diverted part of his thoughts to the outside, controlled the increasingly powerful "Celestial Change" power, and created an illusion.

What is shown in the illusion is Luigi's current actions, which means:

Angel's holographic live broadcast room is on again!

"Although I have experienced it before, I have to say that your 'live broadcast' was very interesting." Laplace slowly came to Angel's side, and he was quite emotional when he saw the illusions around him that were almost fake and real.

"Isn't this just like your usual drama watching?" Angel muttered.

"Following dramas?" Laplace was stunned for a moment.

Angel coughed lightly: "I mean, observe the reflection in the sea of ​​empty mirrors and taste a different life."

Laplace pondered: "Human vocabulary has changed a lot in just a few hundred years. The online, offline, and dungeons you mentioned before are all things I have never heard of. Now, here comes again A 'drama chase'."

Angel: "...Actually, no, no one in the human world uses them. It's just that I personally like to make up hard words."

Laplace glanced at Angel: "I heard that most human wizards have some weird hobbies. Is it your hobby to create some unique words?"

No, I didn't, you're talking nonsense.

Angel: "Creating words for some uncommon and rare meanings is a simple and clear evolutionary process. It's not just me, but many human beings have this realization."

Angel has brought his "hobby" to the rhythm of "enlightenment", and he has also brought the entire human race along with him.

After all, Laplace was not a human being. Seeing that Angel was so sure and his words made sense, he nodded casually: "So that's it."

Seeing Laplace pause, Angel quickly took the opportunity to change the subject: "I haven't contacted Luigi yet, but from the look of him, he seems to be still in the initial stage."

Laplace also followed Angel's words and turned his attention to Luigi.

Through the simulation of the holographic illusion, Laplace could clearly see that Luigi was sitting cross-legged outside the attic at this time, holding an old harp in his hand and playing it gently.

On the other side, through the attic window, you can see a middle-aged man with a plaid felt hat on his head, playing the piano in a very tangled manner.

The middle-aged man's piano music is sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low-pitched, sometimes sharp, sometimes dull, sometimes sad, sometimes longing. It seemed that every note he played was venting the irritability and tangle in his heart.

Luigi's strumming, on the other hand, was much gentler, like a gust of wind, as if he wanted to awaken the emotional middle-aged man.

However, Luigi's playing was not completely leisurely. When the piano sound in the attic became shrill, he would also pluck the strings like heavy rain to show his presence.

It can be said that this was a musical dialogue between Luigi and the middle-aged man.

Ingres could barely understand the meaning, but Laplace was confused.

Was it nice? Luigi's was okay, but the middle-aged man's anger was too strong. But to say it was not good, Laplace felt it was biased, after all, the piano sound with anger also had a different kind of beauty.

So, let alone listening to the conversation in the music, Laplace was confused even about the basic judgment of whether it was good or not.

However, seeing that Ingres listened so seriously and seemed to have gained something, Laplace was embarrassed to say that she didn't understand, so she could only bite the bullet and continue to listen.

After a few minutes, the music time ended.

The area where the attic was located became gray, as if the terminator had been pressed, and the middle-aged man became like a wax figure, motionless.

Time seemed to have stopped in the attic.

The only lively place was the area where Luigi was.

"It seems that Luigi really hasn't solved Uriel's heart knot." Angel saw this scene and understood that Luigi was still standing still.

When Luigi took out the harp from the box outside the attic again, the main quest would start again, and the still time would flow back to the beginning of Uriel's boredom.

Only when Uriel's heart knot was solved, the main storyline would continue.

Laplace frowned: "Do you have to use music to solve Uriel's heart knot?"

Angel: "Do you mean to convince Uriel with eloquence?"

No, I mean to solve Uriel's heart knot with fists.

Angel: "It's no use using eloquence, Uriel won't pay any attention. You can understand that Uriel and Luigi are in two different time and space, only music can connect the two time and space together, and only music can move him, other external forces can't work, this is also the rule of this copy."

Laplace: "...I see."

Laplace silently thanked that she didn't say what was in her heart.

"Then do you think Luigi has a chance?"

Angel looked at Luigi, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I don't know. I can understand what they are doing, but whether it succeeds or not is not something I can decide."

Angel thought for a while and said: "Anyway, the copy has temporarily stopped now, so why not ask Luigi, after all, he is the challenger of this copy."
