Chapter 3155: Xiao Ke's Haunted House
Luigi explained slowly.
A haunted house, as its name suggests, is definitely a cabin with ghosts. However, the ghosts here are different from the undead in the outside world. They are a unique species of ghosts that live in the mirror - mirror ghosts.
As for why the Mirror Ghost lingers in this cabin, we have to start with the origin of this cabin.
Xiao Ke's haunted house is not a mysterious thing, but it has a certain mysterious nature. In other words, this is a semi-mysterious thing similar to the unbreakable mirror.
This semi-mysterious thing is called a secret treasure in the mirror.
Its birth is very strange, originating from a person's thoughts before death.
A human named Xiao Ke accidentally fell into the ghost in the mirror. Faced with the pursuit of mirror ghosts all over the mountains and plains, he fled to a dark underground chamber.
This underground chamber temporarily hid his aura, allowing him to survive.
But there is no other exit in the secret room. There are a large number of mirror ghosts outside the only exit, which means that he has completely cut off his escape route. Once found by the mirror ghost, he will only die.
Seeing that his life was coming to an end, he took out the diary he carried with him and began to write down his experiences, thoughts, and last words in the last few days of his life.
Three days later, Mirror Ghost found the secret room, and Xiao Ke was still dead. However, after Xiao Ke died, he left a last words in his diary full of emotions, which may have followed some unspeakable pattern and caused some changes in this secret room.
His last words were:
"There was already the laughter of those evil spirits outside the door of the secret room, and I also heard the footsteps! They are coming. Damn it, I am still so young, I don't want to die... Even if I know that I will definitely die today, I still don't want to Die so soon."
"If one minute can be used as a year, no, even if it is just a month, a day, or even half an hour, I will give everything for it... I want to live, just live for one more second..."
"It's a pity that things didn't work as expected. They are already here. Goodbye..."
This man gave birth to a secret treasure in just three sentences.
This secret treasure was eventually obtained by Baba Regon, and Xiao Ke's diary was found inside the secret treasure. Combining the contents of the diary and the effect of this secret treasure, Baba Regon named this secret treasure - Xiao Ke's Haunted House.
The effect of the haunted house is consistent with Xiao Ke's last words: as long as you are in this haunted house, the flow of time you feel will be slower than the outside world. One hour in the haunted house is equivalent to about one and a half days in the outside world.
However, during this period, mirror ghosts will constantly refresh in the haunted house and attack you.
Only by resisting the attack can you remain in the secret room.
"In other words, you plan to use the haunted house to practice "Black Sheep Confession Song", and I will help you resist the attack of the mirror ghost?" Ange looked at Luigi.
Luigi nodded obediently: "Yes, but I don't mean to trick you. Aren't you good at illusions? The mirror ghosts in the first few waves were very weak and couldn't see through illusions."
The reason why Luigi chose Angel is because Angel can not only simulate illusions and let him practice music scores immersively; he can also use illusions to trap mirror ghosts, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
If he brought others with him, just the sound of them killing the Mirror Ghost would make it impossible for him to practice with peace of mind.
To sum up, even Laplace and Gleipnir are not as good as Angel alone.
Luigi's calculations were rattling, and in his opinion, it was easy for Angel to release the illusion, so he shouldn't reject him, right?
As far as Angel is concerned, if Luigi told him that he needed to use illusion to trap the mirror ghost, he would most likely agree, but he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable inside. However, when Laplace pointed it out at this time, he didn't feel much.
If it's true that you can be trapped just by releasing an illusion, then there's no harm in doing a favor.
However, Luigi said something that made him care a little.
"The mirror ghosts in the first few waves were very weak and couldn't see through illusions? You mean, the mirror ghosts that appear later will become stronger and cannot withstand illusions?" Angel asked.
Luigi nodded: "Yes, the mirror ghosts in the haunted house are very weak at the beginning, and will become stronger and stronger as time goes by. Especially, every time you stay in the haunted house for twenty-four hours, they will inevitably come. When a wave of mirror ghosts appears, we have no choice but to run away."
"However, with my talent, I should be able to perform "Black Sheep Confession" perfectly after staying in it for two hours. After being in the haunted house, except for the wave of mirror ghosts, there will only be one mirror ghost every day. I Two hours in the haunted house is three days in outside time, and three days is three mirror ghosts. The mirror ghosts at this time are very weak and will definitely not be able to break through your illusion blockade. "
To sum up, the mechanism of the haunted house is that the longer you resist the attack of the mirror ghost, the longer you can stay; but the longer you stay, the higher the intensity of the mirror ghost; and, every twenty-four hours in the outside world, A wave of mirror ghosts will appear in the haunted house.
If Luigi only stays for two hours, he will not encounter a wave of mirror ghosts, and the first three mirror ghosts are very weak and can be controlled.
From a mechanical point of view, it is not difficult to understand... This mechanism does not seem to have anything to praise at first glance, but if it can stay indefinitely and increase the difficulty of Mirror Ghost without limit, then its effects can be exploited That’s a lot.
For example, hone your combat skills. By constantly increasing the difficulty of fighting Mirror Ghost, you can gain combat experience. If you can improve without limit, then this kind of training will be useful for Miracle Wizards.
Another example is long-term practice. If the difficulty of the mirror ghost in the haunted house is very low, then you can completely block the progress and only experience the difficulty of the mirror ghost in the first few times. When the difficulty increases, you can go out and go in again to reset the haunted house. In this way, you can continuously enjoy one hour for one day and achieve the purpose of long-term practice in a short period of time.
But... these are just Angel's ideas.
After all, Shock's haunted house is just a semi-mysterious thing. Can it really be unlimited?
Soon, Luigi gave the answer.
No.
The door of the haunted house cannot be opened multiple times in a short period of time, which limits the number of people and the number of entries and exits.
Every time the haunted house is opened, there will be a maximum operating limit of about one month. After one month, the haunted house will be forced to close and clear the people inside, which is equivalent to limiting the upper limit of the mirror ghost's strength.
Everyone who leaves the haunted house will be marked. The marked person cannot enter the haunted house again for at least thirty days and at most three years. This marking time limit is calculated according to the time you stayed in the haunted house last time. The longer you stay, the longer the cooling time.
The triple restriction is equivalent to locking the upper limit of the haunted house.
After hearing this, Angel felt a little disappointed, but it was normal to think about it... After all, this is only a semi-mysterious thing, and there must be restrictions on its use.
Putting aside these restrictions, Shock's haunted house is actually not bad. It can be used to deal with urgent matters that require time.
Angel stroked his chin and thought silently: Before, my brother Leon went to school at the Plantagenet Knight Academy. Every time he had a holiday, he had to delay his homework until the last day. He often didn't have enough time to finish his homework. If he had this haunted house at that time, he might be able to finish a holiday's homework on the last day.
Of course, this is just Angel's random thought. If you really use the haunted house to catch up on homework, at least one person will be needed to guard it to avoid harassment from the mirror ghost. And for a family that has the ability to deal with the mirror ghost, are you afraid that there are no other ways to catch up on homework?
Shaking off irrelevant thoughts, Angel nodded to Luigi and said, "If you can really complete "Black Sheep Confession" within two hours, then I can help you."
Luigi's face showed joy: "Don't worry, two hours will definitely be enough. Who knows, I can complete it in half an hour."
After confirming to help, Angel immediately manipulated the heart space to float up, and waited until it was confirmed that it would not be affected by the Sea of Empty Mirrors, and then opened the door of the heart space.
"Luigi and I will go to Pipi Castle first, and then we will meet in Crystal City?" Angel looked at Laplace.
Laplace said lightly: "Okay, if you need help, let Luigi contact me."
Angel smiled and nodded.
On the other side, the bunny girl raised her hands high: "You all left, then I will guard the heart space!"
The bunny girl followed this time, not to go to the routine gathering of multiple tribes, but to volunteer to guard the heart space. Although the heart space is very safe and does not need someone to guard it specifically, it is good for the bunny girl to have this intention.
…
After leaving the heart space, Angel entered the familiar mirror corridor.
He and Luigi will go to Pipi Castle, while Laplace and Gleipnir will go to Crystal City first.
Although the destinations are different, they can use the same mirror corridor.
Because both Pipi Castle, the base camp of Piruxiu, and Crystal City, the gathering place of the Crystal Eye Clan, are on the Immortal Mirror Sea that Angel had seen before.
The mirror corridor continues to extend forward.
As Angel walked forward, he also silently looked at the scenery outside the corridor.
Before, every time he walked in the mirror domain, except for certain domes or mirror spaces where creatures could be seen, other places were empty. Except for the constantly extinguished mirror light, it was a dark void.
But this time it was different. Although the surroundings were still empty, he still saw a lot of gathered mirror tribes, walking in the same direction as them, heading towards the Immortal Mirror Sea.
In particular, the closer to the Immortal Mirror Sea, the more figures of the mirror races there were.
Many races have very strange appearances, some are as big as mountains, and some are as small as mayflies. Angel even saw a group of women lighting red lanterns, also heading to the Immortal Mirror Sea.
"Those who light lanterns to lead the way are the mirror ghosts of the Resentful Woman Town... Although they have some problems with their brains, they can bring a lot of good things to every gathering, so everyone is actually looking forward to their arrival."
The mirror ghosts of the Resentful Woman Town, after all, come from the ghost den in the mirror, and the things they bring are basically items from the ghost den. Maybe they are common things in the ghost den, but they are very rare here.
"Piruxiu is quite capable of inviting the mirror ghosts from the town of resentful women... Since the mirror ghosts are here, I think there won't be too many tribes that will withdraw from the party this time."
Because Piruxiu has always had a bad reputation in the White Mirror Domain, the Pipi Castle is called "the lazy city" by everyone, and their own nickname is also called "little lazy ghosts". In addition, their tribe has indeed done many despicable things, and all races don't like to contact Piruxiu.
This multi-race routine gathering was supported by Piruxiu. Even if it was held in Crystal City, many mirror races clearly stated that they would not come.
Even though most of the tribes were silent, in Luigi's opinion, at least half of the silent tribes would not come.
But if Piruxiu could invite some tribes with unique materials and special products, it would be very attractive, and those silent ones might change their minds and come to the party.
And the mirror ghosts in the town of resentful women can bring very special products, and are very popular guests at the party.
"When your login device becomes famous at the party, your appearance in the future will probably become a weather vane for other tribes to choose whether to attend the party." Luigi is very sure that the Dream Crystal Origin will bring earth-shaking changes to the mirror tribe, and this change is for the better.
Once the various tribes accept the Dream Crystal Origin, Angel will inevitably become the most popular person.
"Not my login device, but our login device." Angel corrected.
He didn't think of going it alone. This is not the South Region, and there is no Savage Cave to give him confidence; if he wants to develop and not be coveted by other tribes, he must have a backer.
And Laplace is this mountain that convinces other tribes.
Therefore, even if he plans to spread some login devices at this party, he is also prepared to spread them under the banner of Laplace and as a "cooperative research and development".
This is also discussed with Laplace before.
For Angel, a false name is not important, what is important is the substance.
"Okay, it's our login device." Luigi did not argue, and continued: "By the way, the mirror ghosts in the town of resentful women are different from the mirror ghosts we will meet in the haunted house later. You can't meet them in the haunted house."
Angel: "Why?"
Luigi: "Their tribe is called the Scarlet Lantern Banshees. They are rare among the mirror ghosts. Although they are not very rational, at least they can communicate. They can be sent out to participate in the party. This is evident."
"And the mirror ghosts in the haunted house are all irrational... So, you can only fight them. It's not possible to deal with them by dialogue."
The corridor in the mirror is similar to the plane corridor. Its speed is much faster than the Scarlet Lantern Banshees who rely on flying to travel. Not long after, the Scarlet Lantern Banshees were left behind.
At this time, they were very close to their destination. The starry sea covering the void in the distance was the Immortal Mirror Sea.
At this moment, Angel saw a dome of rainbow light flying out from the Eternal Mirror Sea and flying away from them.
Angel looked at the fleeting light and asked curiously: "That is..."
"That is the Kingdom of Hundred Dragons..."
