Chapter 607 The Mystery of Memory
What is this change? Return to the original state? Or swallowing, fusion and then dissociation?
What do all the previous changes mean?
Show the rise and fall of a civilization? But what is the meaning of a civilization simply showing its rise and fall?
For Angell, the more important thing about a civilization is the details and context. The context of a civilization can show everything about this civilization. The rise and fall are just two colors on the palette.
Many problems are hard to figure out, but it is undeniable that in his eyes, this most ordinary drop of water and a group of power breath are endowed with an indescribable mysterious color.
After a long silence, the drop of water and the gray-white gas mass that absorbed the two contradictory breaths never changed again.
"Or, the reason for the lack of change is because there is no external force to help?" Angell stretched out his hand in doubt and gently touched them.
But this time, he touched the water drop.
The water drop did not break up, but was slowly pushed to the center of the gray-white breath group by him.
They merged again.
However, this time, the "unknown force" represented by the gray-white breath group seemed to choose another direction. It did not turn the water drop into the sea, but merged itself into the center of the water drop, becoming a land-like existence, and the water drop evenly covered its surface.
It was like a... planet.
Even that touch of aquamarine planet made Angel think he saw the Earth, the hometown of John's mentor.
** Life and death, gullies collapsed, continents separated, mist and steam... Creatures came to the land from the ocean, and then creatures made evolutionary choices, and all kinds of strange animals appeared on the earth, even including humans.
Then, civilization rose and fell.
The palace was destroyed, and it was reincarnation from morning till night.
On the ruins, the last group of survivors knelt in front of a statue they called the "God of Creation", praying to the gods in the dark with hope in their eyes. But in the end, they still did not wait for the salvation of the gods, and ended their lives in despair.
After they died, Angel noticed that a flower was slowly growing from the land where they had turned into corpses.
This is a very strange flower, with six petals, three of which emit crystal clear light, and three of which are filled with gray and dim mist.
When the flower appears, time goes back again.
As if in a dream, a drop of water and a gray-white breath group appeared in front of Angel again.
However, in the center of this breath group, the strange flower was slowly sinking.
Angel felt that the three petals of the flower that emit light emit a kind of "hope" light; the other three petals filled with mist are full of "despair" gray.
After the flower merged into the gray-white breath group, it disappeared.
Looking at the drop of water and the strange gray-white breath group in front of him, Angel vaguely caught something, but felt that he was full of mist in front of him and couldn't catch any clues.
Angel couldn't wait to continue trying, and he pushed the water into the gray-white breath group again.
The "unknown power" made a new choice again, which was completely different from the previous two developments. This time, even civilization did not appear, but only a piece of darkness and a piece of light were divided.
Finally, darkness and light merged into the gray-white breath group.
Angel tried again and again, and the brilliance in his eyes became more and more prosperous. Every time he changed, he changed the gray-white breath group, and every time he merged into two contradictory and opposing breaths.
Death and rebirth, destruction and creation, hope and despair, darkness and light, truth and falsehood...
These opposing breaths, in Angel's eyes, are laws. Even if there is no real law fluctuation, their meaning represents the law.
I don't know how long it took, Angel saw a scene of different worlds, and merged countless laws for the gray-white breath. But the gray-white breath group still did not change any color, but it built a more exciting world for the next "reincarnation".
Until this time, the gray-white breath group seemed saturated.
Angel could feel that there were still many "reincarnations" waiting for him to explore, but the gray-white breath group no longer merged with the drop of water.
He felt a little regretful, but also a little expectant.
He had a kind of intuition that perhaps the final answer to this strange space should be revealed.
Angel stood aside, looking very carefully at the drop of water and the unknown force that exuded a "saturated" breath.
Time passed slowly.
When Angel wondered if he had made a wrong judgment, the drop of water changed, and it slowly approached the gray-white breath.
This time they did not merge, the water wrapped up the unknown force, and then slowly changed its shape.
In this process, the mysterious breath that Angel had been secretly speculating in his heart finally appeared!
A large amount of mysterious breath leaked out in this process, and instantly filled this space. The mysterious breath was like the sea, completely surrounding Angel.
Angel's original attention was still on the deformation of the drop of water, but at this time, the mysterious breath that was so rich that it was almost substantial made Angel intoxicated.
A few months ago, he was doing alchemy in the Black Castle and accidentally came into contact with the mysterious field.
That mysterious alchemy was actually a lucky encounter, and it was also an accumulation and explosion of the Black Castle's heritage. It has little significance to Ingres himself, he just became a porter by chance.
However, even if it was irrelevant to Angell, if he had really refined the mysterious object at that time, he would definitely be a complete mysterious alchemist, and he could use it to contact an unimaginable mysterious world.
It would be a lie to say that he had no regrets. How could he not regret it? It was just that his mentality was very positive, knowing that some things could not be obtained by force.
His alchemy in the Black Castle might be a secret manipulation by a great existence, and it was a fate that had to be done. It was destined that he would ignite the foundation of the Black Castle at that time and let Isabel return to the wizarding world.
With such a self-hypnotic idea, Angell let go of the matter. Although he did not become a mysterious alchemist, this experience also brought him many benefits. At least his position in the alchemy circle was consolidated, and even the R&D Institute of the Mechanical City gave him the access card, which meant that he could enter the top hall of the Southern Region Alchemy Circle at any time.
These benefits made Angell more relieved, and after letting go, a wild ambition gradually rose in his heart.
Since the last time he came into contact with the mysterious realm was a coincidence, even if he really became a mysterious alchemist, it was a bit unworthy of the name. Then, he could do without such a reputation. He wanted to refine a mysterious prop without any coincidence, relying solely on his own strength, and solidify the title of mysterious alchemist!
And this time, it was an opportunity.
Although he did not really come into contact with the mysterious realm, he was surrounded by such a substantial mysterious atmosphere, and he could perceive and analyze it at close range, and finally use it for his own benefit.
Once he truly understood the so-called mystery, maybe he could refine a mysterious thing?
With such a vision, Angel was completely immersed in this rich mysterious atmosphere.
But, the mysterious power, a concept that even wizards could not understand, could a little wizard apprentice like Angel understand it? Obviously not.
However, although Angel could not understand it, he had a unique skill that no one else could learn.
Emotional perception and emotional integration.
Just like the music box he made at the beginning, the reason why Jing Ji, who has lived for countless years, was amazed was because when he was refining it, he unconsciously integrated the feeling of the nightmare world.
What does the nightmare world feel like: time is stagnant, every blade of grass, even a scratch or an extinguished fire, are full of meaning.
Angel can integrate the feeling of the nightmare world into the illusion, which is his unique skill. Or, in other words, an alternative talent.
Since the feeling of the nightmare world can be remembered and integrated into the illusion, if he can also integrate the feeling of "mystery" into the illusion, wouldn't it be possible to perceive and study it for a long time?
Even if he leaves here, he can still study the mysterious power.
With this idea, Angel does not demand analysis and understanding, but copies and remembers the feeling of "mystery" to him.
Without understanding, Angel's progress is much faster just by copying. But the mysterious power is too complicated, even if it is plagiarism, Angel is a little overwhelmed.
In this process of plagiarism, Angel also discovered a place.
The mysterious power seems to carry the meaning of "unknown". Once you deliberately copy it, you will never achieve the desired effect; on the contrary, that kind of "unintentional memory" can get extremely effective results.
As he remembers more "mysterious" feelings, Angel can vaguely find some familiar traces in it, such as those "unpredictable, full of unknowns, incompatible with the law and perfect integration" contradictory impacts, and the contradictory laws integrated into the previous gray-white breath group, there is a faint connection.
Could it be that the previous gray-white breath group is showing the process of the birth of "mystery"? But it seems a little wrong. It is impossible that the birth of a mysterious prop will destroy countless civilizations? Perhaps, it is just explaining that the essence of "mystery" is actually unknown and contradictory?
Angel remembered for a long time and felt that there seemed to be some general threads.
However, because he is now a soul body, he has no magic foundation and cannot release illusions. He currently does not know whether he can truly integrate "mystery" into the illusion after returning to **.
He can only wait until he returns to ** to experiment again.
After a while, the mysterious atmosphere began to fade.
Angel also slowly came back to his senses, and his eyes were once again focused on the location of "the drop of water".
But when he looked over, he did not see "the drop of water", but a familiar animal, a Dalmatian.
