Chapter 2895: Explore progress

   Chapter 2895 Exploration Progress
  Special dreamland? Special characters? Exploration level?
   Hearing Laplace’s words, Angel felt that this was a "dungeon"... actually there is a setting for the exploration level?
  If so, based on the information and experience that Angel saw in the holographic tablet, is it 100% exploration, and this copy is considered as a successful pass?
  No, it seems that there is a sentence in the message Laplace received: After the execution, he will leave the special dream.
  This means that as long as you kill a special character, you can leave this instance...the so-called special dream?
  And the special character, without a doubt, is the masked man who is about to be executed by Laplace.
  The whole logic is very simple.
   should indeed be somewhat similar to the "game copies" recorded in the holographic tablet.
  It’s just that what Angel doesn’t understand is that this information is not difficult to understand, and Laplace should be able to understand it. Since the masked person can leave after execution, why does Laplace want to do it at the last moment?
"This power has become more interesting. It can show the degree of exploration. It seems to have digitized a trial space... This is a bit like the endless corridor of the Sky Machine City." Anger commented on what La Plath received. Then I asked about what I was thinking: "By the way, since the information tells you, you can leave with the execution explanation, why did you stop suddenly?"
  Laplace did not immediately answer Anger’s question, but asked:
My first concern is that this is called a ‘special dream’, and you seem to be completely unsurprised about it.

  Angel: "I said that I have a power that can affect other powers to a limited extent. At the moment when the new power is born, I actually have a general understanding of the composition of the new power..."
   Laplace reacted immediately: "In other words, do you know what this power is? Did you lie to me just now?"
  Angel: "I didn't lie to you, I just said that I understand the composition of the new power, but I don't know what the new power is. So let me tell you what I know about the composition of the new power."
  Angel pondered for a moment, and then spoke out the information obtained in the new power.
  A very obscure message, there are only three key words that can be extracted: dream world, mirror world, and secret world.
"According to my speculation, this may be a special mystery that has both the nature of the dream world and the nature of the mirror world. As you just said, the information you got called this trial space a'special dream', in fact it is the same I think there is not much deviation in the special secret realm. Therefore, I did not pay attention to this point."
  Laplace believes Ingre's statement, because if Ingres doesn't want to explain, he just keeps silent as before. Now that it was explained, and the explanation made sense, Laplace believed it.
Angleton paused: "By the way, the information I got related to the new power, you just heard it. Although I can't fully understand the nature of the new power at the moment, since the power is already present, the name still needs to be determined. of."
   Laplace frowned, and said suspiciously to Void: "Did you name this power?"
  Angel: "Nature."
  Laplace was silent for a moment: "Your name is..."
  Angel: "Dream in Wonderland."
  Laplace thought he would hear a name in the vernacular like "Dream Crystal Plains", but unexpectedly, Angel would spit out a name that sounded good, and felt quite suitable?
  "Are you sure you took this?"
  Angel: "..."
  Laplace turned his head too far: "I have no other meaning, but I think the name is good. Dreamwalking in Wonderland, Dreamwalking in Wonderland...Unfortunately, the situation here is far from Wonderland."
  Laplace: "Didn’t you just ask me, why didn’t you continue to execute it? The reason is simple. Do you remember the last row of information I got?"
  Angel thought for a while: "Unexplored areas, unknown changes will occur after leaving?"
Laplace nodded: "Yes, according to the information I got, my current exploration progress is 65%. Even if the masked person is executed, it is estimated that the exploration progress cannot be advanced to 100%. And here I am, There are indeed some unexplored areas, such as the second and third floors. Maybe there is something hidden there. I hope I can advance to 100% before exiting."
  "Do you plan to advance to 100% exploration? Are you...OCD?" Angel muttered.
   "What is obsessive-compulsive disorder? Forget it, I guess it's not a good thing. I just don't want to leave any shortcomings when I do things." Laplace explained.
  Angel did not speak after listening, but he still acquiesced in his heart. Isn't this an obsessive-compulsive disorder?
  However, the progress of the exploration to 100% is quite good. 100% exploration means complete clearance. Angel also wants to know, what changes will happen to the dungeon if a "single-player dungeon" is completely cleared? Does it disappear, or is it completely opened up and become a public copy?
  Thinking about this, Angel no longer said anything, but helped Laplace think about countermeasures.
   "You just said that the places you didn't explore are the second and third floors?" Angel asked.
  Laplace nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"
Angel pondered for a moment: "Because my observation perspective is similar to that of the box court, I observed the entire box court before locking your position. According to what I saw, there is nothing strange about the second and third floors. ."
  Laplace wondered: "There is no strange place? Then why does the message indicate that the unexplored area will undergo unknown changes after leaving? Is there a hidden snow area in this special dream?"
  Angel: "This shouldn't be there."
   "There is no hidden snow area, that's weird..."
  Angel didn't know the specific situation at this time. It didn't take long for him to observe the box court, and he didn't understand the intelligence here.
  Laplace did not expect Angel to give an answer. After a while, she threw a scale on the masked man on the ground.
  Laplace decided to continue to find a way to explore 100% progress. Therefore, he can't kill the masked man, but he can't let him run away. The purpose of throwing a scale is just in case.
  After making sure that it was correct, Laplace came to the fireplace and picked up a picture frame on the floor.
  Before, when she was about to look at the frame, the mask man appeared, and she did not see what was drawn in the frame.
  When Laplace opened the frame, his brow raised slightly.
   "This is... the family portrait?" Angel's voice came: "However, it seems that it has burned more than half of it, and the faces of the two people on the right are no longer clear."
  The picture in the frame is hard to see the details because there are burn marks, but the general situation can still be seen.
   are two men and two women respectively.
  In the center of the picture is a pair of men and women. The female's appearance has been burned, and the man's half burned, but it can be seen that it is a middle-aged man with a horoscope mustache.
  There was a young girl cuddling next to the woman, her face was also burned, and she couldn't see who it was.
  Next to the man, there is an old man in a tuxedo with wrinkles on his face, a little old but still clear. Judging from the old man's dress, he should be a housekeeper.
  "It seems that all the people who burned were women. They were burned deliberately?" Angel asked.
Laplace shook his head: "It wasn't that these two women were deliberately burned. When I found the frame, it was in the fireplace. If I didn't take it out in time, it would burn more than just a part of the drawing paper. "
  In other words, it was not a coincidence that the faces of the two women were burned. It was just bad luck. The burn happened from the upper left corner, which made the two women on the left "disfigured" first.
  Angel: "Then, did you find anything?"
Laplace thought for a moment, stretched out his finger, and pointed to the one of the two men on the right who was more like the owner of the house: "This man, I saw a lot of portraits of him along the way, all of which looked like he was obese. In the painting, he shouldn't have become so fat yet."
  "Is there anything special about this?" Angel wondered why Laplace cared about the so-called fatness problem.
  Laplace: "Because I was too fat before, I did not recognize him. But now, I confirm that I have seen him."
  Speaking of this, Laplace said in a low voice: "On the door frame of the rose garden outside, I saw a few people's heads, and there was this person inside."
   Hearing Laplace's words, Angel subconsciously shifted his gaze to the rose garden.
  Before, he saw the head of a person who was trampled on by Laplace. Now, according to Laplace, he really found the "Patriarch" in the portrait in the heads of these people who were rolling on the ground.
   "I saw it, the head outside is not only the man, but the housekeeper next to him is also inside. However, besides this man and the housekeeper, there are three other women..."
  Laplace: "These three women, two of them, should be the mistress here and her daughter."
When Laplace said this, he pointed to the two women with burnt faces in the picture frame.
   "Where is one woman left?" Anger asked again.
  Laplace shook his head: "I don't know about this. Maybe I can only find clues by going to the second and third floors."
  Although Angel said that he had seen the second and third floors and found nothing strange, it was from Angel’s perspective.
  Along the way, Laplace always feels that the atmosphere here is enveloped by a cloud of doubt, and until now, the identity of the masked person has not been revealed.
  So, she guessed that these mysteries might be on the second or third floor.
After Laplace made a decision, he left the main hall and walked towards the second floor.
  After entering the second floor, Laplace pushed away the surrounding rooms and asked: "Which room on the second floor has a picture? Also, is there any room on the second floor with blood stains? Are there hidden rooms?"
  Angel glanced, and quickly answered the first two questions.
  "Hidden rooms, no on the second floor. There is no on the third floor. However, from the third floor to the top floor, there is a loft with a climbing ladder. It is also obvious that it is not a hidden room."
  Laplace followed Angel’s guidance and quickly went to several rooms with portraits and several rooms with blood stains.
  Along the way, Laplace thought, paused and hesitated, but did not speak.
  After reading the second floor, Laplace went to the third floor.
  There are not many rooms on the third floor, and Laplace didn't ask Anger, and went to see them one by one.
  Finally, Laplace set his sights on the ladder to the attic.
  ……
  In the cramped attic, there is a bed, a tattered table, and irrelevant furnishings.
  In Angel's view, there is nothing worth talking about.
  However, Laplace is very concerned about this attic, staying here for a long time, almost searching for everything in the attic with a carpet-like method.
  Angel felt that Laplace had made a fuss.
  But what Angel did not expect was that Laplace... really searched for something.
  Blood clothes, lots of bandages, and homemade crutches.
   Judging from the size of the clothes and the length of the walking stick, the people who once lived in the attic should not be adults. It should be a child, probably less than one meter six.
  After judging this information, Angel was still thinking about who the child would be when Laplace found a hidden note in the head of the cane.
  Angel looked very surprised, how this is the same as a treasure hunt.
He thought there was nothing wrong with the attic, but Laplace found so many hidden objects and even extremely secret small notes. This made Anger, who had no problem on the second and third floors, only felt that his face was covered. It was a little swollen.
  In the small paper strips, it is not words, but very childish paintings drawn with charcoal strips.
  There are no characters in the painting, but small grids, one of which is marked with a red star.
  Angel looked at this immature painting carefully, and after a long while, he hesitated: "Is this a legendary treasure map?"
  As soon as Angel's voice fell, he saw Laplace took out an iron box from behind a brick on the wall.
  Angel was stunned, what is this?
  Laplace explained leisurely: "This is the hidden treasure in the treasure map you are talking about."
  "How did you find it?" Angel wondered.
Laplace: "It looks like a picture drawn by a child. The place where a child can hide is basically where it looks. If you are worried about being picked up outside of hiding, you should hide it in your own room for peace of mind. So, according to this logic , This treasure must be hidden in the room."
"The grid on the picture should be wall tiles. Therefore, the location of the treasure may be behind the wall tiles. I didn't go to the specific wall tiles, but sensed which wall tiles can penetrate. That place is probably the treasure place. ."
   "From the results, my guess is correct."
  Laplace said while preparing to open the box.
  Angel silently said: "How do I feel from a combat copy to a decrypted copy?"
   Laplace: "Huh? What did you say?"
  Angel: "Nothing to say, I just think that this time you should add a sound to your ear. — "Ding! Congratulations on discovering the new item: hidden box. Exploration progress +5%""
  Laplace: "If you can really know the progress of the exploration in real time, it should be very useful. Unfortunately, there is no such reminder."
  Angel secretly thought in his heart: Not now, does not mean that there will be no in the future.
  If it is determined that Dreamwalking in Wonderland is a way of existence like a dungeon, whether it is a puzzle-solving style, a combat style, or a secret room style...you can come up with a progress reminder.
  Of course, the premise is that Angel must master the Wonderland through the power tree before it can be implemented. Just think about it now.
  On the other side, Laplace opened the box.
  There are very few things in the box. They are all gadgets, like brooches, cloth strips, and a lock of treasured hair. From a detailed point of view, these things should come from women.
  Apart from these little surprises, there is only a layer of velvet cloth at the bottom of the box.
  "This kind of cloth is generally used by nobles." Angel whispered.
  Laplace uncovered the fabric, and said: "Unfortunately, no one in this family is a nobleman."
  When the cloth was uncovered, both Laplace and Angel saw a thin portrait hidden under the cloth.
  The portrait is not big, but it is very delicate. There are many characters painted on the small paper.
  When he saw the characters in the painting, Laplace whispered:
It seems that I am going to take back what I just said. There should be nobles in this family. Or is it related to nobles?

  From the appearance of these characters, they are basically from nobles.
  Just, it's all strange faces.
  The only two who are not unfamiliar faces are a man and a woman.
  The man is a thin young man in a housekeeper's uniform, with a mustache; the woman is wearing the costume of a maid, standing on the very edge, looking very beautiful, but a bit mean between the eyebrows and eyes.
  This man and woman are the wife of the owner of this house.
  Laplace did not expect that the homeowner who pursued aristocratic life in his heart was actually the housekeeper of an aristocratic family.
  The owner’s wife is the head maid of the same noble family.
  But what does it mean to know their original identity?
  While Laplace was meditating, his eyes suddenly swept across the woman in the middle of the photo.
  This should be a noble lady. She was holding a beautiful bouquet of big Mary roses, with silky long hair, wearing a light blue dress and wearing a shiny jewel brooch.
  Compare carefully, what she has on her body, and the gadgets in the box, happen to match. The cloth strips in the box come from the light blue dress she is wearing; the brooch in the box, although it lacks gems, but the outline can still match; only the hair, this one cannot be completely determined, but the first two match, the hair Basically did not run.
  In other words, the contents of this box came from this noble lady.
  But the one who lives here is definitely not the noble lady. If nothing happens, she is a child.
  Children's words... Laplace looked down from the noble lady, and looked at the swaddle that the lady was holding.
   Can it be said that the children living here are actually the babies in the swaddle of the noble lady?
  Laplace looked at this portrait, and then thought of all the things he had encountered since entering this space, and a vague guess was born in his heart.
  However, this speculation still needs some corroboration.
  Laplace thought for a while, retreated from the attic and came to a main room on the third floor.
  This is the homeowner’s study room. There are a lot of books in it. Unfortunately, she can’t understand the words in these books, so she just turned it over.
  This time, Laplace was reading the book here seriously.
  While flipping through, he didn’t forget to ask Angel: "Do you know the text here?"
  Angel gave a negative answer: "I don't know. However, these may not be the words you think."
   Laplaceton lives: "Not words? What do you mean?"
  Angel: "Have you forgotten what this place is?"
  Laplace: "...special dreamland."
  Angel: "Regardless of whether it is special or not, it is right to be a dream here. The dream has a characteristic, it is formed based on the cognition of the dreamer."
  Laplace: "You mean, if the dreamer is illiterate, then the text here is actually the text he imagined, not the real text."
  Angel did not deny: "It is roughly the case, just like a person who does not know arithmetic. If you dream of arithmetic in your dream, there is a high probability that it will be all confusing symbols."
   Laplace: "I understand what you mean, but according to your statement, the dreamer of this dream is not an adult."
   Adults are generally literate, especially the housekeepers and maids who used to be aristocratic families. If they don’t even know the basic words, then how can they be qualified for this job.
  Angel didn’t answer and asked,
Don’t you think so too?

  Laplace did not refute this time, because the guess in her heart... is indeed what Angel said.
  The dream maker of this special dream should be a child.
  However, even if it is confirmed that the dream maker is a child, she still needs a proof to give her a guess.
  Laplace flipped through the books in silence. Since the text here is meaningless, you don't need to look at the text, just look at the picture.
After a while, Laplace turned to a picture on a book on the desktop.
  The text under the picture can basically be ignored, but the content on the picture is very clear.
  A noble manor is on fire.
  On the next page, there is also a picture.
  A man and a woman took a six or seven-year-old boy back from the noble manor. In front of the crowd, the boy and the woman held the boy crying. Among them, the man seemed to stretch out his hand and swear.
  The next page is still a picture.
  A new house was built near the rose garden in the burning manor castle, and the appearance of this house was exactly the same as the house they were in at this time...
  ……
  When he saw this, Laplace exhaled a long breath.
  She basically knows the story here.
To put it bluntly, the noble house was on fire. The only survivor was brought up by the so-called housekeeper and the maid. Unfortunately, the housekeeper and the maid were a white-eyed wolf. Not only did they not respect the descendants of the only nobleman, they even gave him no respect. He snatched everything from him, including the manor, including the treasures in the former castle... Judging from the layout of the house, the former housekeeper is even ready to replace him and become a new nobleman.
  And this noble descendant, if nothing happens, should be a child living in the attic.
  His clothes are stained with blood, he has bandages all the year round to prevent wound infection, and he also has a self-made crutches, which shows that his legs and feet are still broken...maybe they were broken.
  This is the story of a dove occupying a magpie’s nest.
  After learning the story, Laplace can now basically confirm that the dreamer of this dream should be inseparable from the child in the attic, and even said that the dreamer is the child in the attic.
  The reason why I say this is because only the child in the attic will hate or even hate everyone here. They take everything from the child in the name of taking care of it. And in this special dream, everyone he hated was almost dead.
  So, the child in the attic should have a deep connection with the dream maker.
   Either it is his friend, who stands out for it in the dream; or, it is a dream maker by itself, imagining a powerful masked man in its own dream to punish and kill everyone he hates and resents.
  That's why, on the gate rail of the rose garden, there are human head balloons made by the heads of those "wicked men". In the eyes of children, they are all damned and belong to the mortal list.
  However, even if you know the background of this special dream and some truths, there are still some doubts that need to be resolved.
For example, in the head balloon on the gate of the rose garden, there are three women and two men. The identities of the two women and two men have been determined. They are the owner, mistress, housekeeper, and daughter of this big house, but the only one is extra. Who is this woman?
  The second doubt is also related to the human head balloon on the gate fence of the Rose Garden. Now that there is a daughter’s head on the gate fence, who is the fat girl who was chased by the mask man before? Or is this daughter so vicious that the dreamer even wanted to kill her twice?
  Finally, there is one more question, and the most critical one: will the mystery of the background story be solved, will it affect the progress of the exploration?
  For the last question, Angel is also paying attention, and his suggestion is: "Or, you go back to the main hall and ‘prepare to execute’ the masked man to see if there is any change in the exploration progress?"
  However, Laplace did not take Angel’s suggestion, but closed his eyes. A second later, Laplace opened his eyes and shook his head and said,
There is no change, the exploration progress is still 65%.

  Angel was a little surprised: "You are..." How did you confirm the progress of the exploration?
  Laplace: "Don’t forget that I lost a scale on him. I just want to activate the scale as long as I think about it. The execution information automatically surfaced, and it is still 65%."
  This is why Laplace is sure to say that the exploration progress has not changed.
Angel: "If it's a copy of the puzzle type... I mean the trial space, solving the puzzle should increase the degree of exploration. But now, there is no change in the degree of exploration when solving the background puzzle, either There is a mistake in solving the puzzle, or it is not a trial space for decryption. Other things need to be done to increase the degree of exploration."
  "I personally prefer the latter, and may need to do other things to increase the degree of exploration."
The reason why Angel said this is also very simple, because if it is a copy of the puzzle-solving class, only when Laplace parses all the puzzles incorrectly and all the truths are offset, then there will be a stagnation of exploration. Case.
  And obviously this is not the case.
  Laplace’s analysis is logical, and the series of evidence she found, including the illustrations in this book, are supporting her speculation.
  Even if the speculation is really wrong, it will not be all wrong.
  So, the progress of this exploration is obviously not directly related to the puzzle solving.
"Then what should I do to increase the exploration progress?" Angel muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that through the masked man, the dream maker behind him must be persuaded to let go of his hatred in order to increase the degree of exploration? "
  Laplace said lightly: "According to what you said, this special dream is still a moral one?"
  Angel smirked: "I'll just talk about it."
When he said these words, he subconsciously thought of the puzzle solving of some games in the holographic tablet. What he said was also the puzzle solving idea of ​​this type of game. The protagonist must be spiritually "sublimated" in order to reflect the game. Correctness.
   However, after he finished speaking, he also felt something was wrong. Although the special dream is called a copy by him, it is not a game after all.
  The real way of exploration, it is estimated that it will not go to this kind of template that requires moral correctness.
  Angel can’t think of a way to increase exploration, so he looks at Laplace: "What do you think?"
  Laplace: "Perhaps, we still have to start with the masked man. After all, the only living creature in this dream now is him."
  Angel: "The rose outside can be considered a creature, right?"
  Laplace didn't bother to pay attention to Angel's complaints. She naturally knew that Mary Rose was a creature, but the creature she expressed was a wise creature. At present, the wise creatures here are only masked people.
  Laplace turned around, prepared to leave the study, and went to the main hall to see the masked man again.
   Just when Laplace walked to the gate, he heard Angel’s complaint again: "Even if the rose is not a creature, is the girl outside?"
  Laplace: "I know her, she is dead."
  Angel: "No, from my perspective, she was not dead, but was buried in the rose garden and became the nourishment for roses."
   Laplace took a bite and said in a suspicious tone: "You said...she is not dead?"
  Angel once again looked down at the rose garden from the perspective of the box garden, and then confidently said: "I'm not dead, she has both heartbeat and breathing."
   "She was not dead?" Laplace frowned, "Since she is not dead, maybe the exploration is on her."
  Laplace thought about this, immediately set off, rushed downstairs at a rapid speed, rushed out of the house through the back door, and ran to the place where the girl was buried.
  Sure enough, Angel's words are not wrong, she is still alive! The girl's body has been pulled into the ground from below the neck, becoming the nourishment of the big Mary rose, but the head above the neck is still exposed. With Laplace's eyesight, she can clearly see her breathing and the regular beating of the blood vessels in her neck.
  However, although she is alive, her obese body has disappeared. After the whole process of the nourishment of the big Mary rose, she has become skinny and she seems to be at risk of death at any time.
  Laplace approached the girl and tried to wake her up.
  However, the girl has entered a deep coma, and even said that her brain has been damaged. With Laplace's current methods, there is no way to wake her from the coma.
  Laplace pondered for a moment: "Since I can't wake up... Then I will kill her for you."
  The "you" in "Kill her for you" in Laplace's mouth does not refer to Angel, but the real master of this dream, that is, the dreamer.
  Since the dreamer hates this woman so much and keeps the masker torturing and killing her, then Laplace will become the dreamer.
  Thinking about this, Laplace slowly lifted his foot.
  "Any execution reminder?" Angel's voice sounded in Laplace's ear.
  Laplace shook his head: "No."
  There is no execution prompt, which means that even if the girl is killed, the copy will not end.
   However, this is also under the control of Laplace, the real way to leave the instance is to kill the masked man.
  So, Laplace didn't hesitate to face the girl's head and stepped on it fiercely.
   Turned into hoof-shaped feet with muscles spreading full of scales. The power is so powerful that it directly tramples the girl’s head to the ground, and the ground is full of red and white filth.
   Laplace was also splashed with these spewing filth, but she ignored it, and stood there in a daze.
  Angel yelled in her ear for a long time before Laplace came back to his senses.
   And her first sentence after she recovered was good news.
  "After killing this girl, I tried to execute the masked man remotely. I found that my exploration level has increased!"
  Angel: "How much is it now?"
  Laplace groaned for a moment, then whispered
   "99%."
