Chapter 3853 Persuasion
"We need you."
"Prada beauty pageant...needs you."
Gleipnir finished speaking and looked at Abigail silently.
Abigail's expression was a little strange, as if she was thinking, or judging, with her brows tightly furrowed.
Gleipnir did not urge her, but just waited quietly, waiting for her response.
About half a minute later, Abigail seemed to have sorted out some of her thoughts. Judging from her expression, she should have come back to her senses. However, it did not respond to Gleipnir immediately. Instead, it hesitated for a few seconds and said, "What else?"
"What else?"
Abigail: "You just said that the Prada beauty pageant needs me. Then how do you know where I am? Why can you accurately summon the lightless space here?"
After a pause, Abigail's tone seemed smoother than before, and continued to ask: "How do you know that I am in the lightless space? You can't tell me that you have the ability to predict the future, right?"
Faced with Abigail's questioning, Gleipnir's expression was still very calm.
She had anticipated this situation before.
She certainly couldn't answer this series of questions directly. Even if she said the fairyland information and the copy intelligence, Abigail probably wouldn't believe it.
So, she chose...
"Why can't I predict the future?" Gleipnir asked back.
Abigail looked unconvinced and even thought Gleipnir was joking.
But after a while, Gleipnir still maintained his calm face, and his eyes also revealed determination... Seeing this scene, it suddenly became a little undecided.
After hesitating for a moment, Abigail asked in a very light voice: "You are not going to tell me that you can really predict the future?"
Gleipnir: "If I don't have this ability, how can I come here?"
After a pause, Gleipnir saw that Abigail still had a skeptical expression, and said again: "I am an astrologer."
Abigail: "Astrologer?"
Gleipnir: "What is an astrologer? Observe the changes in the stars to use the power of the stars. And use the power of the stars to predict the past and the future."
"And I am an astrologer who controls the power of the stars."
Abigail has never heard of the profession of "astrologer", but she knows the ritual of "astrology".
It is said to be an ancient astronomical ritual that can predict the future through the changes in the starry sky.
So, astrologers are a group of people with the ability to divination?
Facing Abigail's doubts, Gleipnir said lightly: "Astrologers are not only capable of divination, but they can also do divination."
After the voice fell, without waiting for Abigail's reaction, Gleipnir said again: "Every word I said above is true. If you don't believe it, you can use any method of truth-seeking to judge."
"I am an astrologer, no doubt."
Gleipnir still behaved very calmly, as if he was not worried about being "truth-seeking" at all.
In fact...
She was not worried, because the series of words she just said were indeed true. Before saying that she was an "astrologer", she did not make a statement, but only asked questions.
Only when she said that she was an "astrologer" and the subsequent description of the astrologer's ability did she use a firm tone.
And these are indeed true.
She is an astrologer herself, and she does know astrology and divination, but she didn't tell Abigail that astrology can't be used in the Modern City.
On the other hand, Abigail thought carefully and thought that her arrival in the world from the dark corner was kept secret. No one knew except the girl who made a bet with it.
And it is impossible for that girl to pass her information to the world. ——If she can really pass the information to the world, there is no need to go to the trouble of sending herself to the world.
Therefore, Gleipnir got the information about "the lightless space" for no reason. And this kind of reason can accurately know that he is in the lightless space, and even arrange a ritual to summon it...
In Abigail's opinion, it seems that only "foretelling the future" can explain this.
Although it used to sneer at the foretelling the future, now... it believes it a little.
However, if it wants to be completely convinced, it needs more evidence.
"I don't have magic like the truth-telling magic, but I have another way to make sure whether what you said is true." Abigail paused: "Wait for me for a moment."
Gleipnir didn't know what it was going to do, but nodded calmly: "Okay."
Abigail turned around and disappeared, and no one knew where she went.
Gleipnir was not in a hurry. While silently waiting for Abigail to come back, he opened the "private chat channel" and told Angel all the information and clues he had obtained.
As soon as he finished speaking the information, before Angel's feedback, Abigail came back.
To be precise, Abigail's "figure" did not appear in the "Dream Bureau", but its "voice" reached Gleipnir's ears.
"Next, I will use some of the power of dreams to compress them around you, so that I can more clearly perceive your consciousness fluctuations."
"At that time, you repeat what you just said, and I will naturally be able to determine whether what you said is true or false."
"Do you agree?"
Gleipnir nodded without hesitation: "Yes."
As her voice fell, the surrounding "Dream Bureau" began to change. It was originally a cellar, but now the surrounding environment was like washed ink, slowly becoming distorted and discolored.
Soon, the previous appearance of the cellar had completely disappeared.
Only a dark void remained.
And above this void, a light suddenly lit up.
This light fell directly on Gleipnir's body, illuminating her with a light and dark outline.
Gleipnir tried to look up at the light in the sky, but did not find anything. She just vaguely felt that the "light" was a bit like a "crack", and she herself seemed to be in a dark bag, and the crack on her head was the only way out of the bag.
The crack above was getting smaller and smaller, and the white light hitting Gleipnir became more and more concentrated. In the end, it was almost completely focused on Gleipnir.
The contraction of the aperture and the contrast of light and dark made Gleipnir feel a little oppressive.
When the aperture contracted to the extreme, Abigail's voice came again, and this time it became a little grand, even shaking the eardrum.
It was like speaking from the outside of the "bag" and from the perspective outside the box, which could shake the entire box.
"Now you can speak, I only have ten seconds to control the Dream Bureau, so hurry up and speak."
Gleipnir: "I can guarantee that everything I said just now is true, whether it is for the Prada beauty show to find you or my profession. I am indeed an astrologer. I use the power of the starry sky to ask about the past and predict the future. This is my ability..."
Before Gleipnir could finish his words, the crack in the sky disappeared.
The oppressive feeling of the contrast of light and dark also disappeared.
Gleipnir immediately realized that it should be the time for Abigail to control the Dream Bureau.
Sure enough, after about a few seconds, the surrounding void changed again.
Soon, the dark void disappeared, and Gleipnir appeared in an empty square.
A relatively gentle light hit her.
Although this light also came from above, it was not the "crack" before.
With this light, Gleipnir also looked around.
Because the field of vision was too small, Gleipnir could not see the whole picture of the surroundings, but he could vaguely feel that the square was very large and seemed to have no boundaries.
At least, Gleipnir could not see the boundary wall at a glance.
The ground of the square was made of reddish-brown oak flooring, and it seemed to have been oiled, and the reflection could be clearly seen.
As for the other decorations around, that was... nothing.
Nothing.
Just as Gleipnir was observing, a light lit up again not far away, but this light did not hit her, but fell ten meters away.
It was a clown with an extremely strong style.
Its face was painted as pale as paper. Under this pale background, an exaggerated smile was outlined with a strong black pen and red lines. The corners of its mouth were grinning all the way to its ears. Its eyes were painted with black paint, but you could still see the cunning and weird light in its eyes.
As for its clothes, it was no different from the clowns in the circus, but in the details, there were many more accessories such as "flames", "balloons" and "ribbons".
This is a clown for the carnival night.
If nothing unexpected happens, the clown under another "top light" ten meters away should be Abigail.
"Abigail?" Gleipnir asked in a low voice.
Abigail nodded: "It's me."
"This is..." Gleipnir looked around and asked curiously.
Abigail: "I used to live in the dark corner."
So, this is what the dark corner looks like? Gleipnir looked around with interest: "As far as I know, the Dark Corner seems to be full of buildings, but here it looks like a square without boundaries."
Abigail: "There are also buildings inside the buildings, which is a hotbed for the birth of monsters. And here, although it is a square with nothing, the wanderers in the Dark Corner and human organizations... all want to come here."
"Because this is a peaceful place."
"Here, the heart will become inexplicably peaceful and peaceful. Even the most powerful monsters or some dangerous entities will lose the desire to attack here."
"It can be said that this is a safe zone for humans wandering in the Dark Corner. There is no need to worry about monsters, no need to worry about losing sanity, the only thing to worry about... is food."
Abigail paused: "However, I only simulated that safe zone, and did not simulate that kind of peace and tranquility. After all, this is a dream, and the requirements cannot be so high."
Gleipnir actually wanted to continue asking about the situation in the Dark Corner, but she also knew the priorities of things.
Now is obviously not the time to be curious about the Dark Corner.
"Are you satisfied with my answer just now?" Gleipnir looked at Abigail.
Under the top light, the contours of Abigail's face became clearer, and her lips spanned the light and shadow areas at the same time. The shadow part seemed to be smiling strangely, while the illuminated part looked like a normal smile.
"I can't completely judge whether what you said is true, but at least when you said you were an astrologer, your heart and mind were in sync, and the fluctuations were consistent."
"So, I will believe you for the time being."
Gleipnir: "I have already told you our purpose. According to the agreement, should you tell me what your purpose is?"
"Are our purposes contradictory?"
Abigail: "No, they are quite compatible."
"Compatible?" Gleipnir raised his eyebrows.
Abigail smiled and said: "Yes, because I came to this world to fulfill a bet and find a man named Yusup."
"And Yusup, if nothing unexpected happens, should be the person from Prada Media Company you mentioned just now."
Gleipnir's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with shock.
"You..."
"Who was the person who made a bet with you? Why did he ask you to find Yusup? And what did you want to do with Yusup?"
Faced with Gleipnir's three questions at once, Abigail didn't care, but said quite comfortably: "Answer one by one, first tell me about the person who made a bet with me."
"Since you support the Prada beauty pageant so much, you should have heard of someone, her name is... Paipai."
...
Paipai? !
At this time, Angel had received the "private chat" from Gleipnir.
When he saw Gleipnir saying that there was indeed NPC information on the head of the Carnival Night Clown, Angel was not too surprised, because this came from his judgment.
However, when he saw that this Carnival Night Clown named "Abigail Barbosa" actually sealed himself and came to the world because of the bet with Paipai.
This surprised Angel.
He had heard before that the fundamental reason for the decline of Prada Media Company was the sudden disappearance of Paipai and a group of elites.
At that time, Angel didn't think that "Pai Pai" went to the dark corner. He guessed that it might be the work of Modern Fashion Club.
But now, through Abigail's NPC information, it can be confirmed that Pai Pai's disappearance was related to the dark corner!
Most likely, he fell into the dark corner.
Whether it was intentional or unintentional, it is not important for the time being.
What Angel wants to know now is whether the elite backbones of Prada Media who disappeared with Pai Pai are also in the dark corner?
If they are all living in the dark corner at this time, then will there be another way to complete the main task of the Modern City dungeon: open the door of the dark corner and find Pai Pai and a group of elites.
As long as they come back, the loneliness of Prada Media will definitely change.
Isn't this also a way to revitalize Prada Media and restore the glory of the beauty pageant?
