Chapter 3096 No Thoughts, No Imaginations
The sparkling waves under the starlight, the lively fish, the cold-faced Laplace, and the pursed lips of Angel, constituted the silent waters at this moment.
The gloomy atmosphere lasted for a full minute, and Laplace slowly lowered his eyes: "This fish is not caught by me."
After speaking, Laplace picked up the fish basket and placed it on the water. With a backhand flip, the fish basket tilted down, and the fish inside rolled and fluttered out. Following a "plop" sound, the calm water surface bloomed with moon-white water splashes.
Angel watched the fish swim in the shallow bottom and wagged its tail away.
Until the fish completely disappeared under the water, Laplace's expression returned to calm, as if nothing had happened before.
Laplace glanced at Angel, without saying anything, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Aren't you leaving yet?
Angel coughed: "Actually, I have one more thing to tell you."
When Angel spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the pile of fishing books next to him. Laplace seemed to understand something: "Are you going to remind me to return the books after reading them?"
Angle paused and shook his head: "That's not the case."
Laplace: ...Then why are you looking at these books?
Angle: "It's like this. I heard a piece of news not long ago, which is some rumors about the truth of the Deep Cave."
Deep Cave? Laplace looked at Angel suspiciously.
If she remembered correctly, Angel had only gone to the heart space these two days, and had not been to other places in the Mirror Realm; that is to say, the truth of the Deep Cave he said was found in the material world.
You know, the Deep Cave is a secret in the Mirror Realm, how could it have its truth in the material world?
Angell also saw the disbelief in Laplace's eyes. He thought for a moment and said, "I got the news from a special channel. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, but..."
Angel had just said half of his words when a low "buzzing" sound suddenly sounded.
Laplace slowly put his eyes on Angell's chest, because the buzzing sound came from his chest.
Angel also felt the vibration of his chest: "Someone sent me a message."
As Angell spoke, he took out the mother tree interconnector from his inner pocket. Sure enough, the interconnector was humming at this time. This was a reminder of an important person's letter.
General letters will not have reminders. Only those who have been marked by Angel will have letter reminders.
And there are only two people who have been marked by Angel in the tree group: Namite and the Inspector.
Like mentor Sanders, Jon, brother Leon, and tree spirits, Iron Armor Granny and others, Angel did not make special marks, because if they really want to find him, there are ways.
It can even be said that they can directly contact Tulas or Mandhela and use them to make timely communications.
Therefore, these people do not need special marks.
Those who really have special marks are the elders that Angel dare not neglect, such as Nami Cui and the Inspector.
So, when he heard the buzzing sound, Angel took out the interconnector without hesitation.
Letterer: Inspector.
Angel dared not take the Inspector's letter lightly, and immediately opened the tree group and took a look.
The message was not too long, and Angel scanned it to the end at a glance.
The Inspector had obviously been immersed in the tree group for a while, and the message he sent was a very exemplary message. In summary, there is a sentence to find someone if you come, please chat privately.
Although I don’t know what the Inspector wants to find me for, judging from the tone, it shouldn’t be a particularly urgent matter... Maybe the Inspector is curious about some rules of the Dream Wilderness?
Angel thought about it and decided to put it aside for now and talk about it after finishing the things here.
Moreover, he also had to think about it. If the inspector really asked about some secrets of the Dream Wilderness, how should he respond?
Angel put away the interconnector and apologized to Laplace: "Excuse me, shall we continue?"
Laplace nodded indifferently. She also knew about the mother tree interconnector. Angel mentioned it to her and also directed her where to get the interconnector. However, she was fighting with these cunning fish and did not go to get it.
"Regarding the Deep Cave, although I can't confirm the truth of the news, because the source of the information is very special, I personally think that the authenticity of the information is very high."
"Then tell me." Laplace wanted to ask about Angel's source of information, but she didn't think Angel's information was true at this time, so she ignored it for the time being.
"According to the information I got, the Deep Cave should be a legendary creature that mastered the 'No Darkness Domain', and formed a special space after withering..."
Angel extracted the core information of "Withering Without Darkness" and then said it concisely.
At first, Laplace didn't take the news to heart, but when she came to her senses and thought about "Withering Without Darkness" again, some vague images slowly emerged from the vast sea of her memory.
In the picture, she seemed to be floating in the confinement of darkness.
There were constant mental signals pouring into her mind, and these mental signals seemed to be like fanatics, shouting a slogan.
But the self in the picture seemed to have no sense of the information conveyed by the mental signals, and continued to float in the darkness, muttering: "Is this the Deep Cave? Why is there nothing here?"
Laplace, as a bystander of the picture, was full of surprise.
She remembered this picture.
To satisfy her curiosity, she once split a body and went to the Deep Cave. And the picture that emerged at this moment was the picture of her in the Deep Cave.
But in her original memory, the Deep Cave was pitch black, with nothing, only endless darkness and eternal silence.
In such absolute darkness, Laplace was lost for a long time, and finally walked out of the Deep Cave in a muddle.
She was sure that she did not encounter any danger in the Deep Cave, did not sense any creatures, and did not hear any sounds.
But strangely, in the picture that emerged from her memory at this time, she was walking in the Deep Cave, but it was no longer quiet, but full of chaotic mental information.
These mental information that she had not noticed before kept repeating a slogan: no thoughts, no thoughts, no light, no darkness.
In the end, all the slogans focused on no darkness. It seemed that countless voices shouting "No Darkness! No Darkness! No Darkness!" were lingering around her, but...she in the picture knew nothing about it.
What was going on? Laplace only felt a little dazed. She didn't know whether the picture that appeared in her mind was real or fictitious. The only thing she could be sure of was that this was the change that happened after she heard "Withering of No Darkness".
Could it be that "Withering of No Darkness" triggered some special memory mechanism?
"... This is the specific situation." Angel: "By the way, the information I got showed that someone had explored the Deep Cave, but did not find any information in it, not even any regrets."
"Will it, which can comprehend the law of No Darkness, give up all regrets so freely and wholeheartedly and die?"
"This is actually not in line with the pattern after the death of legendary creatures."
"So, there is a guess in the information that perhaps No Darkness also left a back-up for itself, but no one has discovered it so far."
Angel said this, and it was over.
He told Laplace this information purely to sell it on a whim; anyway, this information was useless to him, but it might be useful to Laplace.
After all, the Deep Cave itself is in the Mirror Domain, and Laplace has explored the Deep Cave before.
After listening to it, Laplace was silent for a moment and said: "This information... Where did you get it from? Is it the intelligence network of the Savage Cave?"
Angel shook his head: "No. It was told to me by a very special creature. As for the information of this creature, I'm sorry I can't tell you clearly."
It's not that Angel couldn't tell, but he felt that telling Laplace about the Dalmatian and Minister Kings might not be a good thing for Laplace.
The demons of the abyss have the characteristic of "real names cannot be spoken lightly", and the stronger and more treacherous creatures in the demon world probably have similar abilities. If Laplace knew the other party's identity, he might be targeted by the demon world, which would definitely be a matter of all harm and no benefit.
Seeing Angel's expression of secrecy, Laplace's instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm made her not continue to ask.
She thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the information you said may be true. Whether it is the Darkless Decay or it has left a back-up plan for itself, it is most likely true."
Angel: "Do you believe it?"
Laplace nodded: "I believe it, because I suddenly remembered some pictures just now."
Laplace did not hide it and told the pictures that just came to his mind.
"Changed memory?" Angel was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Laplace's memory would change just by telling a story whose true or false was unknown.
What is going on?
"I don't know the reason." Laplace frowned and said, "Perhaps, these mental signals existed in my memory from the beginning, but I didn't find them before. When you told me the story of Wu'an, the details that were ignored in these memories began to spread and reappeared."
"Maybe it's not a change, just a reflection of reality."
Angel: "Then what is the use of these hidden mental signals?"
Laplace shook his head: "I don't know, but you just said that Wu'an's death may have left a backhand. This may be one of the backhands?"
Angel: "Could it be that through the tampered memory, the mental signals are hidden in the creatures exploring the deep cave, and then... find the opportunity to revive again?"
Laplace looked at Angel in confusion: "I feel like you know a lot?"
Angel lowered his head in embarrassment: "I don't know much, I've just read novels with similar plots."
Angel has read many similar novels on the holographic tablet. There are too many types of mental parasitism and then backfire on the host to revive.
"Novels?" Laplace: "You mean those stories written in books?"
Angel nodded: "Yes, when you still have the fishing book, you can go to the library of the City of Beginning to have a look. There are many novels with similar plots, such as the 'Resurgencer' simulating himself as a system or plug-in, seemingly benefiting the protagonist, but actually guiding the protagonist step by step into the abyss of being parasitized and possessed."
Angel told some of the story plots like a treasure, and gave a lot of examples, which made Laplace stunned.
So, human novels can arbitrarily arrange legendary creatures?
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to read these novels.
Next, Angel chatted with Laplace for a while, and finally agreed on a time to go to Rabbit Mountain, and Angel left.
After Angel left, Laplace did not go fishing again, but pinched his brows and fell into deep thought.
When Angel talked about the examples of novels he had read before, he mentioned that the resurrector would "guide" the protagonist to a specially arranged route according to his own wishes.
This is a subtle influence. It seems that the protagonist made the decision, but in fact, he fell into the trap step by step, and everything was to sew wedding clothes for others.
This example was said by Angel without intention, but Laplace took it to heart.
Because she suddenly thought of one thing. Since she explored the Deep Cave, she has indeed changed a lot:
She became curious about the Deep Cave, and this curiosity became more and more serious, even Angel could sense her curiosity.
But the strange thing is that although she was curious, she did not explore the Deep Cave again.
After she explored the Deep Cave, there was no danger inside, but she just couldn't muster the energy to explore the Deep Cave.
Is this a change? Or is it just that she is lazy?
Laplace couldn't be sure.
There is another thing. Since she returned from exploring the Deep Cave, the time bodies she created seem to be more "cold and indifferent", including her current time body, which is also indifferent.
In the past, Laplace thought that the indifferent personality was very similar to the original body.
But now, thinking about it, could it be affected? After all, Luigi and Little Laplace are not indifferent.
"No thoughts, no thoughts." Laplace murmured in a low voice: "Could it be the source of indifference?"
"Perhaps, these spiritual messages are affecting me subtly?"
If these guesses are true, then the news that Angel brought her this time can definitely be said to be a life-saving grace.
Even if the guess is wrong, Angel can help her find the hidden spiritual signal, which makes her very grateful in her heart.
Laplace pondered for a moment, and did not go fishing again, but got off the line.
She planned to have a good talk with Gleipnir. Gleipnir's insight and analytical ability was the strongest among all her incarnations. Perhaps, she could see the problem here?
