Chapter 3392 The Pretender

Angel felt that the spirit had been walking in the consciousness void for several minutes. But when they descended from the consciousness void, only two seconds had actually passed in the outside world.

The sense of time in reality is completely different from the sense of time in the consciousness void.

This strange feeling of time not matching made Angel a little dazed.

However, when he went to see Laplace's body, Angel had already experienced a change in his sense of time. He had experience, and this time the daze was only a moment, and soon returned to normal.

When Angel opened his eyes again, he found that he had left the consciousness void.

They were floating in the air.

Surrounded by criss-crossing aerial streets, various forms of extraordinary life shuttled back and forth in them.

About two meters below their feet, there was a stone man setting up a stall with a flying carpet.

Five or six meters above them, there were still people gathered, watching a teacup head eloquently introducing the specialties of Truga City.

The location where Angel and Laplace appeared happened to be the center of such a three-dimensional aerial street.

Busy tourists kept shuttling around them, but the amazing thing was that no one paid attention to them.

It was as if they did not exist.

And no one saw the large silver mirror behind Angel and Laplace.

The two of them were like ghosts that were not in this time and space, ignored by everyone.

"They can't see us. We seem to have left the consciousness void, but in fact, we are still one level away from the real outside world." Perhaps seeing the doubt in Angel's eyes, Laplace explained.

To put it in a metaphor, if the people outside are in the "1" dimension, then they are in the "1" dimension.

It looks very close, and even able to witness everything in the outside world, but in fact, there is still a gap of 1.

As high-digit numbers, they can observe everything in low-digit numbers. But low-digit numbers can't cross 1 and see them in the high-digit interface.

This 1 is an insurmountable natural chasm for other people around.

Of course, this is not absolute. If someone around can travel in consciousness and observe from the perspective of consciousness without the flesh, they will still be discovered.

But this kind of existence either has a special talent or is above the legend.

This is just one of the many stalls in Crystal City. Most of the stalls here are marginal figures of various races. It is basically impossible for anyone to observe them.

It is precisely because of this that the two of them and the glowing mirror behind them are ignored by the people around them.

"If the people around us can't see us, how can we contact the parrot?" Angel asked.

"Don't worry, I will let the parrot see us." Laplace didn't say anything, just motioned Angel to follow her.

Angel didn't ask the reason.

Angel knew Laplace very well. If she didn't explain, there were basically only two reasons: either it involved some secrets, and knowing it was not a good thing; or the level of knowledge exceeded the scope of Angel's understanding, and explaining it was equivalent to explaining in vain. Just like you can't tell summer insects about ice in winter, summer insects can't understand what winter is, nor what ice is. Without this concept, they can't imagine things beyond cognition.

No matter which reason it is, it doesn't make sense to Angel.

Since it doesn't make sense, there is no need to explain it.

Under Laplace's guidance, they began to head to the location of the parrot.

Before they moved, Angel had not noticed the difference, but as soon as they moved, the change occurred.

The world around them seemed to be frozen... No, it was not frozen, the people around them were still moving, but the movements were slowed down countless times.

In Angel's vision, only his and Laplace's movements were normal, and the others were all slowed down.

It seemed that he and Laplace were the vivid and colorful people, and everything around them was an old black-and-white movie frozen in a certain picture.

However, this situation only occurred when they moved. Once they stopped, the normal flow of time around them returned to normal again.

Is this the truth of the difference between consciousness and real time?

Angel didn't know the specific reason, but just silently recorded his feelings at this time. If he had the opportunity to study similar topics in the future, this trip could be used as a reference.

After a while, they came to the small mirror where the parrot was.

In the mirror was Piruxiu's shop, and the parrot's shop was included in it.

However, after they entered, they found that Piruxiu was in the store, but the parrot was nowhere to be found.

If they were in the outside world, they might be able to lock the parrot's location through some magic, but now they were in "1" and could not cast magic across the interface.

Laplace pondered for a moment and said, "Let me ask this Piruxiu."

Ask? Angel's eyes lit up and nodded slightly. He just wanted to see how Laplace intervened in the outside world.

However, Laplace's operation was completely confusing to Angel.

Laplace walked directly to the sleepy Piruxiu manager, and her eyes flickered with strange energy.

And the Piruxiu manager was still humming listlessly the previous second, but the next second, she blinked her eyelids and saw Laplace suddenly appearing in front of her.

"Ah... Eh?! You, when did you enter the store." Piruxiu manager widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Laplace and Angel behind her.

"Just when you were dozing off." Laplace said calmly.

The store manager Piluxiu was stunned for a moment and thought carefully about it. He was indeed dozing off before... It was because there were no customers, and the invented rat he used for "training" and "refreshing" was bought again, he even more Bored.

Did you really squint for a while?

So, these two people must have come in while he was dozing off... No wonder.

Pilusiu had no doubts about this statement, and he didn't pay much attention to Laplace and Angel. After all, they had been here before.

"Come here..." Pilu Xiu narrowed his eyes: "Are you here to see the parrot too?"

"Yes, we have something to do with the parrot." Angel paused and asked softly: "You said 'yeah' just now. Could it be that someone came to see him before?"

Pilu Xiu held his face with one hand and said lazily: "Yes, someone came just now and called him out."

Someone called the parrot out? Angel frowned: "Then do you know where the parrot went when it was called?"

Pilusiu glanced at Angel angrily: "Why do you ask me this question? You ask yourselves."

Angel: "???" Ask us? What's the meaning?

Pilusiu: "Isn't the person who called him out the same person who came with you before?"

Angel was stunned: "You mean..."

Pilu Xiu waved his hand: "He's the one who came to me to ask if he had any music scores for sale!"

Angel and Laplace looked at each other, and both saw incredulity in each other's eyes.

There is no doubt that the person Pilu Xiu is talking about is Luigi!

But Angel knew very well that Luigi never called Luigi out from beginning to end.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Angel continued to ask: "Then did you hear where they went?"

Pilusiu shook his head directly: "I don't know. They said it in the cubicle. How do I know?"

Angel: "Then when did they leave?"

Piluxiu thought for a moment and said, "About an hour, or an hour and a half ago. Anyway, it's been a long time since I left."

While talking, Pilu Xiu was still beeping: "I don't know what the parrot is thinking, but he has packed up all the goods, as if he is going to go on a long trip with your companion."

Laplace gave Angel a look and signaled to speak outside.

Angel understood immediately and followed Laplace out of the shop.

When Pilusiu looked up again, he found that Laplace and Angel had disappeared. He didn't care, but murmured bitterly: "It's boring. I hate people who do it for free. If I don't buy something next time, I will Say nothing."

…

On the other side, Angel and Laplace came to one side of the stall area.

Laplace whispered: "Someone disguised as Luigi and took the parrot away."

This is not a question or a discussion, but an affirmation.

As for why the parrot listened, it was probably the fake Luigi who made the parrot trust him on the pretext of "taking the parrot away". After all, they had signed a contract with the parrot and would take the parrot away as soon as possible.

When the parrot sees "Luigi" coming to fulfill the contract, he naturally has no doubts about him. This also explains why the parrot packed up his gifts and looked like he was going on a long trip.

Because he is indeed going on a long trip, and in the eyes of Parrot, there is a high probability that this is a one-way ticket that will never return.

Angel: "Then what should we do now?"

Laplace was silent for a moment: "Find the parrot."

Originally, Laplace agreed with Angel's opinion and tried not to get involved in this matter, but someone pretended to be Luigi and deceived the parrot, and this matter had something to do with them.

No matter who the other party is, Laplace cannot bear to cheat with Taijian by pretending to be "Luigi".

Angel also saw the dissatisfaction in Laplace's eyes, and he also supported Laplace's idea. After all, if he could disguise Luigi this time, he might disguise himself as himself next time.

But now there's a real question before us: "How do we find the parrot? And the pretender?"

Laplace: "This is not difficult."

As he spoke, Laplace stretched out his fingertips, and a blue-light sand table with the Crystal City Ring Castle as its main body appeared in front of them.

On this sand table, there are six coordinate areas emitting bright light.

Seeing this, Angel also understood what Laplace meant.

These six coordinates are exactly the places where the aura of God's Blood is the strongest that Xiao Hong had previously detected.

Among them, three shining bright spots are in the free trade market, which is the stall area where they are now; the other three bright spots are in other places outside the stall area.

Previously, Angel thought that the highlight outside the stall area was that the parrot had stopped in those places for a short time before coming to the stall area, so it had the aura to stay there.

But now it seems that this is not the case, but after the parrot was taken away by the fake "Luigi", these coordinates were tainted with relevant atmosphere.

If this is deduced, the parrot should be among these coordinates at this time, or near these coordinates.

"I understand." Angel: "Then let's check them one by one according to these coordinates."

Laplace nodded.

Because Angel needs Laplace's help to travel in the void of consciousness, they cannot act separately and can only check the coordinates together.

Three of the coordinates in the stall area took them less than two minutes in the consciousness void - maybe less than half a second in the outside world - to complete the query.

No.

The parrot was not in the stall area at this time. I think he should be in the remaining three coordinates.

Angel and Laplace re-entered the real consciousness void. Here, even if they stopped, the time perception of the outside world was still slow.

Therefore, it is most convenient to communicate here, without worrying about wasting time.

Angel and Laplace calculated and found that the remaining three coordinates can be connected, which looks like a path. The coordinate closest to the stall area is an unknown area; the other two coordinates, one is in the corridor connecting Crystal City, and the other is an unknown ring fortress.

If you draw a line from the stall area as the starting point to connect the remaining three coordinates, then the final destination is... an unknown ring fortress.

If the parrot is really deceived, then his destination will be a certain floor of the ring fortress.

Angel: "Shall we go directly to the Ring Castle?"

Laplace thought for a moment: "Let's check the coordinates one by one. They are all on the same line anyway, and it won't take much time."

Angel also agreed with Laplace's decision. The so-called "drawing a line" was just their own idea. Who knows if the real situation is really like this?

If not, then it will be missed.

So, although it is troublesome to check the coordinates one by one, it will not be missed.

Laplace took Angel back on the road. In the void of consciousness, endless light spots surrounded Angel like stars, and carried thrust, slowly pushing him to a more distant void.

After an unknown amount of time, Angel returned to the interface of "1".

When Angel opened his eyes again, he found that the surroundings were still the "stall area", but it was no longer the stall area they were in before.

If nothing unexpected happened, this is the "unknown area" of the coordinate point.

The so-called "unknown" is simply that Angel and Laplace don't know the internal layout of Crystal City very well, and don't know the specific place name, so they named it the "unknown area", not to say that it is mysterious.

At present, the "unknown area" where the first coordinate is located is the new stall area.

The parrot came here, perhaps to hang out? Of course, it is also possible that it was deceived by the fake Luigi and wanted to follow him to "leave the mirror area", and happened to stay here during the process.
