Vol 6 Chapter 3164: redundancy

   Chapter 3164 Redundancy
   In Luigi's puzzled eyes, Angel strode to the floor tile where Luigi was sitting before, took out his cane and tapped the ground lightly.
   A crisp "dong dong" sound sounded instantly.
Before   , every time the walking stick hit the wall and brick surface, the sound was dull, indicating that the bottom was solid. But this time, there is such a crisp sound, which means that there is a high probability that there is hidden space under this floor tile.
   It seems that he was dark under the lights before.
  Anger silently complained about himself, but he didn't hesitate in his hand. He gently pressed the sharp end of the cane against the edge of the floor tile, and pried it upwards with skill.
  The floor tiles were turned over smoothly, revealing the dark space below.
  The space is not big, only half a meter square.
   In the space under the floor tiles, except for a somewhat broken thread-bound notebook, there is nothing else.
  Angol picked up the thread-bound note. Although there were no words on the cover of the note, there was no doubt that this was Shaoke's diary.
   "Hey, Shawk's notes are actually here?" Luigi touched his chin and stepped forward: "It's quite hidden, were you looking for it just now?"
  Angol: "Whether it's hidden deep or not, that's another story. But it's really warm when you sit there."
  Luigi: How can "..." be so exaggerated?
   Watching Angel open the notes, Luigi also stepped forward: "Did you say something happened, just to read this diary? I heard from people who have read the diary, it's nothing special."
   Ingres ignored Luigi's words, and read them carefully.
Each page of the    diary is not long.
  It's right to think about it. Shaoke unfortunately fell into a ghost in the mirror. In the panic, it is good to record a sentence or two intentionally. How could it be a long speech.
   In less than five minutes, Angel read the entire diary.
The general content of    is about what happened after Shock came to the ghost in the mirror. However, from Shaoke's self-report, we can know that the first ten diaries were all supplemented by Shaoke after he came to the secret room. They were not written immediately, but a flashback record.
The    diary has a total of thirteen entries, the first ten of which are records of Shaoke's experiences after he came to the ghost in the mirror. The last three articles are about Shaoke's journey of finding the secret room, confirming his hopeless escape, and some of his last words.
The last three chapters have nothing special, and the last words are the same as what Luigi said, but the key point is this sentence: "There is already the laughter of those evil spirits outside the door of the secret room, and I also heard footsteps... If one minute It can be used as a year, no, even if it's just a month, a day, or even half an hour, I'm willing to give everything for it...He's here..."
   This sentence reveals the secret of the birth of the haunted house.
   Therefore, whether it is Babarregón, Luigi or others who have experienced the haunted house, they all pay more attention to the last three diaries.
   However, after reading the entire diary, Angel paid more attention to the first ten chapters.
  Before reading Shaoke's diary, Angel only knew some general stories: a human named Shaoke accidentally came to the ghost in the mirror. Facing the endless pursuit of the mirror ghost, he panicked and fled to a dark underground secret room.
   This background story seems to happen very fast, which makes people mistakenly think that after entering the mirror field, it didn’t take long for Shock to find the underground secret room.
   But after actually reading the diary, I realized that it is not so simple.
   After Shock came to the secret room, he added ten diaries forward, which means that after Shock fell into the mirror, he spent ten days before he found the secret room.
   Of course, Angel is skeptical about whether there are really ten days. After all, ghosts can’t time the time, and the concept of time is likely to be distorted and confused; unless Shock has a pocket watch-like timing tool.
   I don't know if Shawk has a timing tool, but since he made up ten articles, it is counted according to his experience of ten days.
  Imagine, an ordinary person fell into the mirror ghost, how to survive the mirror ghost in the sky?
   Angel couldn't think of the answer.
   Not to mention ordinary people, even if an extraordinary person falls into the mirror, he may not be able to find a way to survive.
   But Shaoke, as an ordinary person, lived in the ghost for ten days, which made Angel very puzzled.
   The reason why Shaoke was confirmed to be an ordinary person was because in the first ten diaries, Shaoke repeated himself many times to find food and water. Extraordinary people don't care about eating in this situation.
To sum up, the contents of the first ten diaries are probably: "It's going to be discovered, it's great not to be discovered, escape, this thing seems to be able to eat, continue to escape, find buildings, drink, ah! There are Ghost, keep running away."
   These records are very cumbersome and highly repetitive, and there is nothing special about them. It is normal for them to be ignored by Babarregon and others.
   But Angel looked awkward.
   He always had the illusion that those mirror ghosts were "blind with their eyes open".
   Obviously Shaoke is an ordinary person, how can those mirror ghosts ignore him? It's not to say that it is completely ignored. The mirror ghost will still catch Shaoke after seeing it, but every time Shaoke can escape smoothly.
   This is really confusing.
   Countless words have been recorded in this novel. No matter how heroic warriors are, they will appear extremely powerless in the face of extraordinary power, unable to resist or escape.
   This point, Angel also agrees.
   Shock is very brave and bold, but he is an ordinary person after all. How did he escape the Mirror Ghost again and again?
  Anger turned his head to look at Luigi: "Have you ever thought that it's incredible that Shaoke escaped the pursuit of the mirror ghost again and again?"
  Luigi nodded: "I thought about it, but it's nothing... Shawk's last words can give birth to semi-mysterious things, which shows that he is not so ordinary."
   "Maybe, does he have some extraordinary strengths?"
  Luigi means, they know that Shock is an ordinary person, but ordinary people may also have some bizarre powers. Similar to the special talent recorded in the novel, maybe Shaoke has the talent to avoid mirror ghosts?
   In other words, Shaoke himself has the talent of being delayed from time to time, so he escaped the pursuit of the mirror ghost again and again.
  Angol: "If he really has any special talent, and he can escape the last time, how could he admit death?"
  Luigi: "You're right, but maybe the talent is exhausted?"
  Anger shook his head. He felt that Luigi's thoughts were biased towards "self-thinking". When an answer was set in his heart, his thoughts would always rely on this answer.
   And Angel's heart is not necessarily really unbiased, he firmly believes that Shaoke is an ordinary person, an ordinary person without any special talent.
  If Shaoke really has any talent to escape the mirror ghost, Angel personally thinks that he will record it in the final diary. Since he didn't write it, it means nothing.
   Of course, there is no empirical evidence for this. Whether or not this is the case, no one can tell at present.
   But from Angel's point of view, Shaoke's behavior is not abnormal, the abnormal one is the mirror ghost.
   He had an inexplicable guess, maybe the Mirror Ghost didn't want to kill Shaoke in the first place, otherwise Shaw would not be able to get rid of the Mirror Ghost again and again, and even find a lot of food and drink to maintain his life after getting rid of the Mirror Ghost.
   But if the mirror ghosts are not going to kill Shaoke, what is their purpose?
   - Force Shock somewhere.
   This is a guess made by Angel after deep thought.
  Perhaps, it was not Shaoke who found the secret room, but the mirror ghost forced Shaoke to come to this secret room.
   As for why Shaoke was forced into this secret room? Angel doesn't know, but he has a very outrageous idea that has no underlying foundation.
   To put it simply, it is blindness without any evidence...a distant thought.
  Shock came to the secret room, which may have become some kind of ritual.
   And Shaoke's death in the secret room is a kind of sacrifice, a sacrifice for the success of the ceremony.
   The host of this ceremony is most likely the owner of the footsteps in the last entry of Shawke's diary, and the "he" in "He is here".
  The other mirror ghosts let Shaoke go, but this "he" killed Shaoke.
  In Angel's view, this "he" is the master of everything. "He" let the mirror ghost let Shaoke go, and at the same time forced Shaoke to come to the secret room.
   Therefore, if there is really some kind of ceremony, the person who presides over this ceremony is definitely the "he" at the end of the diary.
   However, what kind of ceremony is this ceremony, even if Angel thinks about it, he can't think of it.
  Perhaps it is a ceremony that allows "mysterious things" to be born?
   Or, is it some kind of special ceremony, but the ceremony failed, and the residual energy led to the birth of Shaoke's haunted house?
   In short, after reading the diary, Angel had more doubts.
  Angel told Luigi his guess. After Luigi heard it, he did not refute it immediately, but asked curiously, "Why do you think in the direction of the ceremony?"
Angel: "Because until now, I have not understood why there is a link to find a safe house. In my opinion, this link is unnecessary. In transcendence, any apparent meaningless but impossible The redundant links that are eliminated are most likely related to rituals.

   Luigi didn't know that what really made Angel suspicious was the step of 'finding the safe house'. He originally thought that Angel was just looking for faults.
   Now that I hear it, Luigi also finds it a little strange. Indeed, the step of finding a safe house seems unnecessary?
  Angol: "If the search for a safe house is considered a pre-step of a ritual, then it is reasonable."
  Luigi pondered for a moment and said: "The ritual you guessed before, whether it is true or not, has passed. Shaoke died, and the haunted house was born as a secret treasure."
   "Since the haunted house has become a secret treasure, it's not necessary to think about rituals, right?"
  Anger looked at Luigi: "Indeed, if Shock is dead and the ceremony is over, there is really no need to think about it. But if...the ceremony is not over yet?"
   "If the current search for a safe house is really a step in the ritual, does that mean that the ritual is not over yet?"
   Luigi frowned: "If the ceremony is not over, what do you think it will be?"
Angel spread his hands: "I don't know either. My guess is that there may be more steps in this ceremony. Finding a safe house is one step of the ceremony, and the other steps are not shown at present... If it can really be completed Ceremony, maybe there will be new changes in the haunted house?"
  New changes? Luigi squinted: "You mean to say, if the ceremony is completed, the haunted house will change from an ordinary treasure to a real mystery?"
  Angol: "I don't know, this may be a possibility, but there are other possibilities."
   "Other possibilities?" Luigi wondered.
  Angol shrugged: "For example, summoning a great demon named Luigi to wreak havoc on the world..."
  Luigi: "…"
   Angel put the diary in his hand back under the floor tile while joking.
   "I don't know much about ritual science itself, but ritual science is most often used to guide the coming of gods." Angel: "These are not really important, and it is not our business anyway..."
   The reason why Angel was excited about his research was to satisfy his curiosity that lasted for three days.
  Luigi: "Just aroused my interest, then suddenly stopped, your behavior..."
  Angol: "Are you playing with fire?"
  Luigi: "???"
  Angol: "Without the sinister smile, I'll give you sixty points."
   With Luigi's puzzled expression on his face, Angel walked to the gate of the cellar.
The gate of    is still a stream of rainbow light, indicating that it is closely related to the power of time.
   Now, since Luigi has learned "The Confession of the Black Sheep", it is time to leave. And the way to leave is also very simple. According to Luigi, as long as you touch this streamer-like light film, you can leave.
  Angol stretched out his hand and touched the light film.
  An invisible mysterious charm immediately surrounded Angel.
   Without Angel to perceive, he gave birth to a kind of enlightenment: as long as his mind moved, he could leave the haunted house.
   This is exactly what Luigi said.
   However, what made Angel more concerned was that the mysterious charm also told him another news: in addition to leaving the haunted house through his mind, he could also choose to go to the stairs outside and return to the original flat ground.
   Ingres told Luigi of this discovery.
  Luigi: "It's normal... it's always been."
   Even if Luigi has never entered a haunted house before, he has also heard the news from other people. Through the light film, he can choose to leave the haunted house or the safe house.
   looks normal to him.
   But Angel said, "Are redundant choices really normal?"
   "Redundancy..." Luigi seemed to realize something: "You mean, this could also be a step in a ritual?"
  Angol: "How do I know? However, after you go out, you can talk to Babarregon, maybe he can research something."
After   , Angel didn't say any more, and chose to "leave the haunted house".
  As his mind turned, Angel's figure disappeared in the cellar in an instant.
