Chapter 2896

Special dreams? Special people? Degree of exploration?

Hearing Laplace's words, angel felt that it was like a "copy"... Is there a setting for the degree of exploration?

If so, according to the data and experience angel saw in the holographic plate, is it possible to explore 100%, and this copy will pass the customs successfully?

No, it seems that Laplace received a message that he will leave a special dream after the execution.

This means that you can leave this copy as long as you kill a special character... That is, the so-called special dream?

The special character, no doubt, is the masked man who is about to be executed by Laplace.

The whole logic is simple.

It should be similar to those "game copies" recorded in the holographic plate.

But what angel doesn't understand is that it's not difficult to understand these information, and Laplace should be able to understand it. Why did Laplace do it at the last minute when he could leave after executing the masked man?

"This power is more and more interesting. It can show the degree of exploration. It seems to be digitizing a trial space... It's a bit like the endless corridor of sky Machinery City." Angel commented on the information Laplace received, and then asked what he thought: "anyway, since these information told you that the execution explanation can leave, why did you suddenly stop?"

Instead of answering angel's question immediately, Laplace asked, "my first concern is that it is called a 'special dream', and you don't seem surprised at all."

Angel: "I said that I have a power that can influence other powers to a certain extent. At the moment of the birth of the new power, I actually have a general understanding of the composition of the new power..."

Laplace immediately responded, "that is to say, you know what this power is? You were lying to me just now?"

Angel: "I didn't lie to you. I just said, I know the composition of new power, but I don't know what new power is. Well, I'll tell you what I know about the composition of new power."

Angel pondered for a moment and spoke out the information from the new power.

There are only three key words that can be extracted from a very obscure message: dream world, mirror world and secret realm.

"According to my speculation, this may be a special secret place with the nature of both dream world and mirror world. As you just said, the information you get calls this trial space 'special dream', which is in fact almost the same as the special secret place I think. Therefore, I didn't pay special attention to this point."

Laplace believed what angel said, because if Angel didn't want to explain, he would just keep silent as before. Now that it has been explained, and this explanation makes sense, Laplace believes it.

Angel paused: "by the way, you heard the information I got about the new power just now. Although I can't fully understand the essence of the new power at present, now that the power has appeared, the name still needs to be determined."

Laplace frowned and questioned the void, "have you named this power?"

Angel: "nature."

Laplace was silent for a moment: "your name is..."

Angel: "sleepwalking in Wonderland."

Laplace thought he would hear a vernacular name like "dream crystal", but unexpectedly, angel would spit out a name that sounds good and feels quite suitable?

"Are you sure you took it?"

Angel: "

Laplace turned aside: "I don't mean anything else, but I think it's a good name. Sleepwalking wonderland, sleepwalking wonderland... Unfortunately, the situation here is far from Wonderland."

Laplace: didn't you just ask me why I didn't continue to execute it? The reason is very simple. Do you remember the last row of information I got

Angel thought, "the unexplored area will change unknown after leaving?"

Laplace nodded: "yes, according to the information I got, my current exploration progress is 65%. Even if I execute the masked man, it is estimated that I can't advance the exploration progress to 100%. Here, I do have some unexplored areas, such as the second and third floors. Maybe there is something hidden there. I hope I can advance to 100% and then quit."

"Are you going to advance to 100% exploration? Are you... Obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Angel muttered.

"What is OCD? Forget it, I guess it's not a good word. I just don't want to leave any regrets when I do things." Laplace explained.

Angel didn't speak after listening, but he still acquiesced in his heart. Isn't this obsessive-compulsive disorder.

However, it's also good to explore to 100%. 100% exploration means complete customs clearance. Angel also wants to know what changes will happen to a "single copy" after complete customs clearance? Is it disappearing, or is it completely open and become a public copy?

Considering this, angel no longer said much, but helped Laplace think about countermeasures.

"You just said that the places you didn't explore were the second and third floors?" Asked angel.

Laplace nodded: "yes, what's the matter?"

Angel pondered for a moment: "because my observation perspective is similar to that of the chamber, I observed the whole chamber before locking your position. According to what I saw, there is nothing strange on the second and third floors."

Laplace wondered, "there is no strange place? Then why does the information suggest that unexplored areas will change unknown after leaving? Is there a hidden snow area in this special dream?"

Angel: "this should not be."

"It's strange that there is no hidden snow area..."

Angel didn't know the specific situation at this time. He didn't observe the chamber for long and didn't know the information here.

Laplace didn't expect angel to give an answer. After pondering for a moment, 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 yet, but he can't let him run away. Throwing a scale is just in case.

After making sure everything was right, Laplace came to the fireplace and picked up a picture frame on the ground.

Before, when she was about to look at the frame, the masked man appeared, and she didn't see what was painted in the frame.

When Laplace opened the frame, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Is this... Family portrait?" Angel's voice came: "however, it seems that more than half of it has been burned, and the faces of the two people on the right can't be seen clearly."

The picture in the frame is difficult to see the details because there are burning marks, but the general situation can still be seen.

Two men and two women.

In the middle of the picture is a pair of men and women. The woman's face has been burned, and the man has burned half, but it can be seen that it is a middle-aged man with an eight character beard.

There was a girl snuggling up beside the woman. Her face was also burned. She couldn't see who it was.

Next to the man, there stood an old man in a tuxedo with wrinkles on his face, a little old but still clean spirit. Judging from the old man's dress, he should be a housekeeper.

"It seems that women were burned. Was it deliberately burned?" Asked angel.

Laplace shook his head: "I didn't burn these two women deliberately. When I found the picture frame, it was in the fireplace. If I didn't take it out in time, it would burn more than a part of the picture paper."

In other words, it was no coincidence that the faces of the two women were burned, but they were unlucky. They just started burning in the upper left corner, which made the two women on the left "disfigured" first.

Angel: so, did you find anything

Laplace thought for a moment, stretched out his finger and pointed to the more like home owner of the two men on the right: "this man, I saw a lot of portraits of him all the way, all after being fat. In this picture, he should not have become so fat."

"Is there anything special about this?" Angel wondered why Laplace cared about the so-called fat and thin problem.

Laplace: "I didn't recognize him because I was too fat before. But now, I'm sure I've seen him."

Laplace said this in a low voice: "I have seen several heads on the doorframe of the rose garden outside, and there is this man inside."

Hearing Laplace's words, angel subconsciously turned his eyes to the rose garden.

Before, he saw the head trampled by Laplace. Now, compared with what Laplace said, he really found the "home owner" in the portrait in these heads rolling on the ground.

"I can see that there is not only this man on the road outside, but also the housekeeper next to him. However, in addition to this man and housekeeper, there are three women..."

Laplace: "these three women, two of them, should be the mistress here, with her daughter."

As he said this, Laplace pointed to the two women whose faces were burned in the picture frame.

"What about the woman left?" Angel asked again.

Laplace shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe I can only find clues on the second and third floors."

Although angel said he had seen the second and third floors and found nothing strange, it was from angel's perspective.

Along the way, Laplace always felt that the atmosphere here was shrouded in a cloud of doubt, and so far, the identity of the mask man has not been revealed.

So she guessed that these mysteries might be on the second or third floor.

After making his decision, Laplace 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 portrait? Also, is there blood in the second floor? Is there a hidden room?"

Angel glanced and quickly answered the first two questions.

"There is no hidden room on the second floor. There is no hidden room on the third floor. However, there is an attic from the third floor to the top floor. There is a ladder there. It is obvious that it is not a hidden room."

According to angel's instructions, Laplace quickly went to several rooms with portraits and several rooms with blood stains.

Along the way, Laplace thought, paused and hesitated, but he didn't speak.

After reading the second floor, Laplace went to the third floor.

There were few rooms on the third floor, and Laplace didn't ask angel to see them one by one.

Finally, Laplace set his eyes on the ladder to the attic.

……

In the narrow attic, there was a bed, a ragged table and insignificant furnishings.

In angel's view, there is nothing worth saying.

However, Laplace is very interested in this attic. He stayed here for a long time and searched everything in the attic almost in a carpet way.

Angel thought Laplace was making a fuss.

But what Angel didn't expect was that Laplace... Really found something.

Bloody clothes, lots of bandages, and homemade crutches.

Judging from the size of clothes and the length of crutches, the people who once lived in the attic should not be adults. It should be a child. It's estimated that it's less than one meter six.

After judging this information, angel was still thinking about who the child would be. Laplace found a hidden note in the head of the crutch.

Angel was surprised. It was like a treasure hunt.

He thought there was nothing wrong with the attic. As a result, Laplace found so many hidden items and even extremely secret notes, which made angel, who had vowed that there was no problem on the second and third floors, feel that his face was swollen.

In the small note, it is not text, but a very childish picture painted with charcoal.

There are no figures in the picture, but small squares, one of which is marked with a red star.

Angel looked at the young painting carefully. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "is this the legendary treasure map?"

As soon as angel spoke, he saw Laplace take out an iron box from behind a brick on the wall.

Angel was stunned. What is this?

Laplace explained leisurely, "this is the treasure in your mouth, the treasure in the picture."

"How did you find it?" Angel wondered.

Laplace: "this is a picture drawn by children. The place where children can hide is basically where they can see. If they are worried about being taken outside, they are still safe in their own room. Therefore, according to this logic, the 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 count which wall tile is, but perceived which wall tile can penetrate. That place is estimated to be a treasure hiding place."

"From the results, my guess is right."

Laplace said as he prepared to open the box.

Angel said silently: "how do I feel that I have changed from a combat copy to a decrypted copy?"

Laplace: ah? What are you talking about

Angel: "I didn't say anything. I just think you should add a prompt sound in your ear at this time." - "Ding! Congratulations on discovering a new prop: hidden box. Exploration progress + 5%"

Laplace: "it would be useful to know the progress of the exploration in real time. Unfortunately, there is no such prompt."

Angel thought to himself: not now does not mean not in the future.

If you are sure that sleepwalking wonderland is a way of existence like copy, you can get progress tips whether it is puzzle solving style, combat style, or secret room style.

Of course, the premise is that angel can only implement it after mastering the Wonderland through the power tree. Now it's better to think about it.

On the other side, Laplace opened the box.

There are few things in the box. They are all gadgets, such as brooches, cloth strips and a lock of treasured hair. From the perspective of details, these things should come from women.

In addition to these small accidents, there is only a layer of velvet cloth at the bottom of the box.

"This kind of cloth is usually used exclusively by aristocrats." Angel whispered.

Laplace opened the cloth and said, "unfortunately, at present, no one in this family is noble."

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 exquisite. Many characters are painted on a small paper.

When seeing the characters in the painting, Laplace whispered, "it seems that I want to take back what I just said. This family should have nobles. Or is it related to nobles?"

From the dress of these characters, they are basically from the nobility.

Just, all strange faces.

The only one who is not a strange face is a man and a woman.

The man is a thin young man in housekeeper's clothes, with a moustache; The woman is wearing the maid's long dress and standing on the edge. She looks very beautiful, but she is a little mean between her eyebrows and eyes.

This man and woman is the wife of the owner of the 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 glanced at a woman in the middle of the picture.

This should be a noble lady. She held a bunch of beautiful big Mary roses in her hand, had long soft hair, wore a light blue skirt, and pinned a glittering gem brooch.

After careful comparison, the things on her body and the gadgets in the box just match. The cloth strips in the box came from the light blue dress she was wearing; Although the brooch in the box lacks precious stones, the outline can still be aligned; Only hair, this can not be completely determined, but the first two are aligned, and the hair basically didn't run.

In other words, the contents of this box come from this noble lady.

But the one who lives here is certainly not the noble lady. If there is no accident, it is a child.

Child's words... Laplace's eyes moved down from the noble lady to the swaddling clothes held by the lady.

Can it be said that the children living here are actually babies in swaddling clothes in the hands of noble ladies?

Laplace looked at the portrait and thought of all kinds of things he had encountered since entering the space, and a guess came out of his heart.

However, this guess needs some evidence.

Laplace thought for a moment and stepped back from the attic to a main room on the third floor.

This is the owner's study. There are a lot of books in it. Unfortunately, she can't understand the words in these books, so she roughly turned them over.

But this time, Laplace was seriously reading the books here.

While reading, I didn't forget to ask Angel: "do you know the words here?"

Angel gave a negative answer: "No. however, these may not be the words you think."

Laplaston said, "not words? What do you mean?"

Angel: have you forgotten where this is

Laplace: "... Special dreams."

Angel: "whether it's special or not, it's just a dream. And the dream has a characteristic, which is formed based on the dreamer's cognition."

Laplace: "you mean, if the dreamer is illiterate, the words here are actually the words he imagined, not the real words."

Angel did not deny: "generally speaking, it is like a person who does not understand mathematics. If he dreams of mathematics, he is likely to be confused with some unknown symbols."

Laplace: I know what you mean, but according to you, the dreamer of this dream is not an adult

Generally speaking, adults are literate, especially the housekeeper and maid in the noble family. If they don't even know the basic words, how can they be competent for this job.

Angel didn't answer and asked, "don't you think so?"

Laplace didn't refute this time, because the guess in her heart... Is exactly what angel said.

The dreamer of this special dream should be a child.

However, even if it is confirmed that the dreamer is a child, she still needs evidence to give her guess.

Laplace flipped through the books in silence. Since the words here are meaningless, you don't need to look at the words, just look at the pictures.

After a while, Laplace turned to a picture in a book on the table.

The text under the figure can be ignored, but the content on the figure is very clear.

A noble manor was on fire.

On the next page, there is also a picture.

A man and a woman took back a little boy of six or seven years old from the noble manor. In front of the crowd, the man and woman held the little boy and cried, and the man seemed to stretch out his hand and swear.

On the next page, it's still a picture.

A new house was as like as two peas near the rose garden in the burning manor castle.

……

When he saw this, Laplace breathed out a long breath.

She basically knows the story here.

To put it bluntly, the noble house was on fire, and the only survivor was adopted and brought up by the so-called housekeeper and maid. Unfortunately, the housekeeper and maid were a white eyed wolf. They not only didn't respect the only noble descendant, but even robbed him of everything, including the manor, including the treasures in the castle... From the layout of the house, The former housekeeper is even ready to replace him and become a new aristocrat.

And this noble descendant, if there is no accident, should be a child living in the attic.

His clothes are stained with blood, and he always wears bandages to avoid wound infection. He also has a self-made crutch, which shows that his legs and feet are still broken... He may have been interrupted.

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 have something to do with the children in the attic, or even that the dreamer is the children in the attic.

The reason why I say this is because only the children in the attic will hate and even hate everyone here. They take everything from the children in the name of care. In this special dream, everyone he hates is almost dead.

Therefore, the children in the attic should have a deep connection with the dreamer.

Either his friend came out for it in his dream; Or, it is a dreamer, imagining a powerful mask man in its own dream to punish and kill everyone he hates and resents.

That's why there are head balloons made of the heads of "villains" on the door fence of the rose garden. In the eyes of children, they are all damn and belong to the list of mortals.

However, even if you know the story background of this special dream and some truth, there are still some doubts to be solved.

For example, in the head balloon on the fence of the rose garden, there are three women and two men. The identities of two women and two men have been determined. They are the owner, mistress, housekeeper and daughter of the big house, but who is the only woman who comes out?

The second doubt is also related to the head balloon on the gate fence of the rose garden. Since there is a daughter's head on the gate fence, who is the fat girl chased and killed in front? Or is the daughter so vicious that the dreamer even wanted to kill her twice?

Finally, there is another question, which is also the most critical question: does the mystery of the background story have an impact on the progress of the exploration?

For the last question, angel is also paying attention, and his suggestion is: "why don't you go back to the main hall and 'prepare for execution' and see if there is any change in the progress of exploration?"

However, Laplace did not take angel's suggestion, but just closed his eyes. A second later, Laplace opened his eyes and shook his head: "there is no change, the exploration progress is still 65%."

Angel wondered, "are you..." how do you confirm the progress of exploration?

Laplace: "don't forget that I lost a scale on him. As long as I thought about it, I decided to activate the scale. The execution information automatically emerged, still 65%."

This is why Laplace is determined to say that the progress of exploration has not changed.

Angel: "if it's a copy of the puzzle solving type... I mean the trial space, solving the puzzle should increase the degree of exploration. But now, there's no change in the degree of exploration when solving the background puzzle. Either there's an error in solving the puzzle, or this is not the trial space for decryption. Other things need to be done to improve the degree of exploration."

"I personally prefer the latter. I may need to do other things to enhance my exploration."

The reason for angel's saying this is also very simple, because if it is a copy of puzzle solving class, only when Laplace parses all puzzles incorrectly and all truths are offset, will the exploration stagnate.

This is clearly not the case.

Laplace's analysis is logical, and a series of evidence she finds, including the illustrations in this book, are supporting her speculation.

Even if the speculation is wrong, it is not all wrong.

Therefore, the progress of this exploration is obviously not directly related to solving the puzzle.

"What should we do to increase the progress of exploration?" Angel muttered in a low voice: "can we say that we should persuade the dreamer behind him through the mask man and ask him to put down his hatred in order to enhance the degree of exploration?"

Laplace said faintly, "according to what you said, this special dream is still a dream involving moral nature?"

Angel smiled: "I'll just talk about it."

When he said these words, he subconsciously thought of the puzzle solving of some games in the holographic plate. The content he said is also the puzzle solving idea of such games. The protagonists should be "sublimated" in spirit in order to reflect the correctness of the game.

However, after he finished, he also felt something wrong. Although special dreams are called copies by him, they are not games after all.

It is estimated that the real way of exploration will not go to this template that requires moral correctness.

Angel couldn't think of a way to increase his exploration, so he looked at Laplace: "what do you think?"

Laplace: "maybe we should start with the masked man. After all, he is the only living creature in this dream."

Angel: are the roses outside creatures

Laplasse was too lazy to make complaints about Angell's Tucao. She knew that big Marie rose was a creature, but the creature she expressed was intelligent. At present, there are intelligent creatures here, only masked people.

Laplace turned and was ready to leave the study and go to the main hall to see the masked man again.

When Laplasse came to the gate, he heard Angell's Tucao make complaints about it. "Even if the rose is not a creature, is that the girl outside?"

Laplace: I know her. She's dead

Angel: "no, from my perspective, she is not dead, but buried in the rose garden and become the nourishment of roses."

Laplace was shocked and said in a surprised voice, "you said... She's not dead?"

Angel looked down at the rose garden from the perspective of the chamber again, and then said firmly, "she's not dead. She has a heartbeat and breathing."

"She's not dead?" Laplace frowned: "since she's not dead, maybe the degree of exploration is on her."

Laplace left immediately, rushed down the stairs at a fast speed, rushed out of the house through the back door and ran to the place where the girl was buried.

Sure enough, what angel said is not wrong. She is still alive! The girl's body has been pulled into the ground from below her neck to become the nourishment of the Big Mary Rose, but the head above her neck is still exposed. With Laplace's eyesight, we can clearly see her breathing and the regular beating of blood vessels on her neck.

However, although she was alive, her fat body had disappeared before. She had been fed with the Big Mary rose all the way. Now she became skinny and looked at the 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 her brain has been damaged. With Laplace's current means, she can't wake her up from her coma.

Laplace pondered for a moment: "since she can't wake up... I'll kill her for you."

"You" in "kill her for you" in Laplace's mouth does not refer to angel, but to the real owner of the dream, that is, the dreamer.

Since the dreamer hates this woman so much and keeps letting the masked man kill her, Laplace will complete the dreamer.

Thinking so, Laplace slowly raised his feet.

"Is there a hint of execution?" Angel's voice sounded in Laplace's ear.

Laplace shook his head. "No."

No execution prompt means that even if you kill the girl, the copy will not end.

However, this is also under Laplace's control. The real means to leave the copy is to kill the masked man.

So, without hesitation, Laplace stepped on the girl's head.

The feet, which turned into hoof shape and were covered with scales, were so powerful that they directly trampled the girl's head, and the ground was full of splashed red and white filth.

Laplace also splashed these splashing filth on her body, but she ignored it and stood stunned.

Angel cried in her ear for a long time before Laplace came back.

The first word she said after she recovered was good news.

"After killing this girl, I tried to execute the masked man remotely. I found that my degree of exploration increased!"

Angel: how much is it now

Laplace pondered for a moment and whispered——

“99%。”
