Vol 6 Chapter 3162: doubt

   Chapter 3162 Questions
   Angel's thoughts are naturally related to Shaoke's haunted house.
   After he entered, he always wondered why there must be a process of 'finding a safe house'?
  In Angel's view, if there must be a process of 'finding a safe house', then the safe house will most likely be hidden very deep and very difficult to find, which is a negative characteristic. - This is the generality of many powerful alchemy works, semi-mysterious things, and even some mysterious things.
   In other words, it is a kind of restriction and price.
   Such constraints and costs are countless in the transcendent world. Just like the "red sword" that Doakes has now, he specially asked a famous alchemist to refine it. When refining, the other party gave him three choices: either have the ultimate sharp edge It is sharp and agile, but the blade is relatively fragile; either it has the ultimate blood-carrying power, but the blade is relatively clumsy; or it has extreme sharpness and blood-carrying power, but neither is outstanding.
   In the end Doakes chose the second one.
  When you want to reach a certain limit, you have to pay the price elsewhere. It's like a scale, when one side is pressed down, the other side is tilted up.
   Of course, it’s not impossible to achieve the best of both, the limit of both, but it is the refiners who are tested. And even if both are good, it does not mean that there is no price, but this price may not be on the bright side.
  For example, expensive materials and a high level of blending are also a price.
   In addition to the example of the red sword, there is a similar price in the mysterious thing... However, this is not the problem of the refiner, but the price itself is part of the mysterious thing.
   is like a "dark movement", it will force you to give birth to a second personality, but the second personality must be evil, and you will lose your name.
   or "master key", it can open the key of all locks; however, the more you use it, the harder it is for your heart to be knocked on.
   There is also the "Seed of Death". If you want to be blessed with luck, you must experience a doomsday that faces death.
The last two    are the price. In other words, it is the cost that human beings evaluate from their own perspective - if it is good for human beings, it is a positive effect and effect; if it is not good for human beings, it is the cost.
   Therefore, it is normal for Shaoke's haunted house to have restrictions.
  —You have to climb mountains, exhaust your energy, and go through a lot of hard work to find the safe house.
   If it is the above situation, Angel will not be surprised.
   Constraints, it’s normal to spend more time and effort.
   But this is not the case. At present, the restriction of Shaoke's haunted house: it is the maximum limit of the daily mirror ghost's attack and sense of time, not the search for a safe house.
   Because finding a safe house is too easy.
   This time the safe house is already hard to find, but it only took a few minutes; and the safe houses in other environments, like some magnificent castles, are simply a clear sign in front of you, and you don’t have to look for them.
   If so, why set up a process of finding a safe house?
   This question, perhaps in the eyes of Luigi, Barbaregon, and others, is a very boring question.
   But in Angel's view, this is actually very strange.
   Searching for a safe house is a
superfluous
act.
   You can go directly to the safe house after you come in, but you have to go through a process to find the safe house. Isn’t this superfluous?
  If this haunted house was made by humans, it might be due to the refiner's flaw; but this haunted house was born "naturally", and it was a superfluous link in its design, which was very confusing to Angel.
  In the supernatural world, many things that you think are inexplicable are often linked to a situation, that is: ritual.
  So, what Angel was thinking at this time was, is this process of finding a safe house a ritual?
   However, Angel thought deeply and shook his head. This is an unverifiable and hard-to-falsify guess. At present, there is really no trace of rituals... Also, will there be rituals for semi-mysterious things born naturally? Natural ritual?
   Putting aside the speculation of the ceremony for the time being, there is another possibility that Angel can think of: finding a safe house is likely to simulate the situation of Shaoke at that time, and flee into the safe house in a panic.
   After all, the birth of the haunted house is closely related to Shaoke, and it seems possible to simulate his search process.
   But, this is equally difficult to prove.
  When Angel thought about it, he suddenly thought of something: Luigi seemed to have mentioned before that there would be Shawke's diary in the haunted house?
   Shock's diary cannot be taken out of the haunted house, but appears in the corresponding safe house with every change in the environment of the haunted house. Sometimes on the bookshelf in the castle, sometimes on the table in the tree house, sometimes on the ground of the amusement park...
  According to this rule, Shawk's diary should also appear in this cellar, right? Maybe from the diary, find the record of Shaoke before escaping into the secret room?
   Thinking of this, Angel raised his head and looked around the cellar little by little.
  Can look around, but did not find Shaoke's diary.
  This cellar is the same as when I first saw it, the surroundings are empty and there is nothing.
  Angel believed that Luigi should not lie about such things, so Shawke's diary probably still exists, but he didn't find it.
  Perhaps, there is a hidden space in this cellar, or a hidden storage place? And Shaoke's diary, is it hidden?
   With this thought, Angel released his mental power tentacles... However, it was useless.
The tentacles of mental power can reach out, but the surrounding is full of rich and constantly flowing mysterious charm. When the tentacles of mental power reach out, it feels like entering a muddy or sand pit. It can move, but the surrounding is full of dense substances. It is difficult to find the hidden space in this situation.
   Not only mental power, but also other spells. Although they can be released, their perception ability is obviously weaker.
   The only thing that is not affected is the Nightmare spells, but the Nightmare spells cannot penetrate the surrounding walls and floors that have been infected by the rainbow light.
  In the case of lack of perception, it is better to stand up and walk and measure the hidden space with both hands and feet.
  Angel is not a hesitant person. If he thinks of it, he will do it.
   Anyway, the mirror ghost hasn't come yet, Angel stood up, walked into the illusion, and searched for possible hiding places in the cellar.
   Luigi was immersed in the "Priest's Dream" at this time, and there was an illusion to isolate the sound, so he didn't have to worry about disturbing him.
  Angle took out his cane and tapped the ground while walking, and determined whether there was a hidden space through the echo of the sound.
   Soon, ten hours passed.
  Angol searched all the bricks in the middle, but found no abnormality.
   Now, he began to knock on the walls of the cellar, and he was more careful than before... Generally speaking, the probability of hidden spaces on the walls is higher than that on the ground.
   This knock is six hours.
  Although Shaoke's diary was still not found, he was waiting for today's Mirror Ghost attack.
   The Mirror Ghost that appeared in the first wave was a non-human creature, more like a stick with wings.
  If it were a little smaller and thinner, the color of the appearance changed from black to pink, and there was a heart on the top, then it would be very similar to the wand used by the magical girl in the novel.
  Angel didn't know what the name of this mirror ghost was, so let's call it "Wand Ghost".
   As Luigi said, the first few waves of mirror ghosts were very weak. This is the case with the magic wand ghost, except that it can fly and release some negative energy attacks with its magic wand, it has no other extraordinary abilities.
  According to Angel's estimation, it might be the level of the early stage of the second-level apprenticeship?
   Under normal circumstances, the second-level apprentice must still be unable to kill the wand ghost, but the wand ghost can't help the second-level apprentice.
   Weak enough... As soon as you enter the misty illusion, you will fly around anxiously; once you fly around, you will be even more confused.
  Angol didn't even control the illusion, it was firmly controlled.
   The power of the wand ghost is nothing to brag about, but the way it came out was interesting. It came unexpectedly, and it didn't come in through the door, but came down from the ceiling above.
   It can also be seen from this that Angel previously wanted to set up a fantasy world on the stairs at the door, but it was actually useless.
  The way they come in is not at all the normal way.
  Anger is now curious whether the wand ghost is a member of the outside mirror ghost group. When the time was about, it was pulled by the invisible force in the haunted house and pulled to the cellar?
   There is still no answer to this question. After all, it is impossible for Angel to go out and count the number of ghosts.
   However, Angel went to the ceiling where the wand ghost first appeared, to see if there was any hidden space on the ceiling...
  The answer is: no.
  Angol is not discouraged, anyway, he still has time. Moreover, the first wave of mirror ghosts appeared in the sixteenth hour. According to the law of one wave a day, he would have at least eight hours to deal with the problem of mirror ghosts.
  Thinking of this, Angel started to pick up his cane and tap on the wall again.
   The sound of "dong dong dong" echoed in the cellar, and every time the sound of the beating was dull, it meant that he hadn't found a hidden space yet.
   This is also impossible. The cellar is too big. When the next day came, Angel only knocked on half of the wall.
   By the time he had knocked all the walls of the cellar, there were only fourteen hours left until the third day.
  Unfortunately, there is still no hidden space on the surrounding walls.
  Angol could only look at the ceiling above.
   Shouldn't the hidden space be on the ceiling? Angel personally thinks that the possibility is a bit low. If the ceiling really has space to hide, then it is too strange to hide?
   And the haunted houses with other backgrounds before, Shaoke's diary is not so hard to find, right?
  Although he didn't believe that there would be a hidden space in the ceiling, Angel decided to give it a try. He released his magical hand, still holding his cane, and knocked every inch of the ceiling.
The    percussion process is still as usual, not worth mentioning, the only thing that can be said is that the mirror ghost of the second day finally appeared two hours before the third day.
   There are three mirror ghosts here this time.
They drilled out from three different walls respectively. The first one to come was a dark humanoid mirror ghost. Although it was a humanoid, it could not see his face. , like a shadow constructed entirely of darkness.
As soon as the    humanoid mirror ghost appears, he lies on the ground and walks on all fours, like a beast.
   His movements are extremely fast, his body is agile, he can easily levitate and stick to the four walls, as if he is free from the constraints of gravity.
   However, Angel did not see any powerful abilities he released. Perhaps, his abilities would only be released after meeting people?
   But unfortunately, as soon as he entered the cellar, he was surrounded by the surging fog. No matter how nimble he was, he was just like a hamster running on a hamster wheel.
   And the second mirror ghost and the third mirror ghost appeared together, copied from the left and right walls.
   Their appearance is more like a ghost in human imagination, floating in mid-air, with a "big sheet" on their head, covering the whole body.
   However, one was draped in black sheets and the other was draped in white sheets, and there were obvious bulges on the tops of their heads that seemed to be horns.
   is just one corner to the right and one to the left.
  Angol still doesn't know this kind of mirror ghost, so he can only call him "the bed sheet ghost".
   The two sheet ghosts are not strong, and even the energy fluctuations emitted by their bodies are weaker than that of the wand ghost, but Angel has an inexplicable feeling that these two sheet ghosts may "fit"?
   One is white and the other is black, and the upper corners of the head are deliberately one left and one right. No matter how you look at it, they are complementary.
  If you want to be flawless, you can only fit together.
  Angol doesn't know if his guess is correct, but if these two bed sheet ghosts really fit together, maybe the strength will not be as weak as it is now.
  Unfortunately...they were on the left and right of the cellar when they came in, and the fog easily surrounded them, so there was no need to worry about them meeting.
   The mirror ghosts of the second wave are still not strong in general.
   However, Angel did not take it lightly. Although the second wave of mirror ghosts is not strong, it already belongs to the "potential" mirror ghosts.
   According to this rule, the third wave of mirror ghosts may be the mirror ghosts who really stimulate their potential.
   Also, there was only one wand ghost in the first wave, but three mirror ghosts already appeared in the second wave. Shouldn’t the number be increased in the third wave?
   If this is the case, then you have to be more cautious.
  Angol thought for a while, and released some illusion nodes. After confirming that there was a faint mist everywhere from the ceiling to the ground, he closed his hands.
   In the next time, Angel still ignored the mirror ghost trapped in the fog, but continued to pick up his cane and tap the ceiling.
   The sense of time is still extending, and the third day arrived as scheduled.
   Luigi said before that he might finish "The Confession of the Black Sheep" in half a day, and now I can be sure that this is a bragging.
   However, I have to say that the "Black Sheep Confession" he played today was significantly higher than the previous two days in terms of emotional intensity.
The    appeal has also risen to a large level.
  Angol even felt that if this "The Confession of the Black Sheep" really suits Uriel's appetite, at Luigi's current level, it is not impossible to get the top three seats.
  Luigi's progress is obvious, but Angel's progress is...zero.
