Chapter 3163

What Angel was thinking about was naturally related to Shaoke's haunted house.

After he entered, he has 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 is likely to 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 restriction and a price.

Such constraints and costs are countless in the Transcendent Realm. Just like the "red sword" that Doakes has now, he specially found a famous alchemist to refine it. When refining, the other party gave him three choices: either have the limit It is sharp and agile, but the blade is relatively fragile; either it has the ultimate blood bearing power, but the blade is relatively clumsy; or it is extremely sharp and the blood bearing power, but neither is outstanding.

In the end Doakes chose the second.

When you want to hit a certain limit, that pays 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 the test is the refiner. 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.

Aside from the example of the red sword, there is a similar price in the Mystery... However, it's not the refiner's problem, but the price itself is part of the Mystery.

It's like "Dark Music", 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 the "master key," the key that unlocks all locks; however, the more you use it, the harder it becomes 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 doom 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 hardship to find the safe house.

If it is the above situation, Angel will not be surprised.

As for restrictions, it is 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 so easy.

The safe house this time is already hard to find, but it only took a few minutes; while 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.

That being the case, 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.

Finding a safe house is an "overkill".

Obviously, 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 refined by humans, it might be 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.

Therefore, Angel's thinking at this time is, is this process of finding a safe house a ritual?

However, Angel thought deeply and shook his head. This is an unverifiable and difficult 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 the 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.

However, this is equally difficult to prove.

While thinking about it, Angel suddenly thought of one thing: Luigi seemed to have mentioned before that there will be Shaoke's diary in the haunted house?

Shawk's diary cannot be brought 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, Shaoke'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 patrolled every part of the cellar little by little.

But after looking around, I didn't find Shaoke's diary.

The cellar was the same as when I first saw it, empty and empty.

Angel believed that Luigi should not lie about this kind of thing, so there is a high probability that Shawke's diary still exists, but he didn't find it.

Maybe there is a hidden space in this cellar, or a hidden storage place? And Shaoke's diary, is it hidden?

With this thought in mind, 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 significantly weaker.

The only thing that is not affected is magic spells, but magic spells can't penetrate the surrounding walls and floors that have been infected by rainbow light.

In the case of lack of perception, it is better to stand up and walk by yourself, and use your hands and feet to measure the hidden space.

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 "a 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.

As Angel walked, he took out his cane and tapped the ground, using the echo of the sound to determine whether there was a hidden space.

Soon, ten hours passed.

Angel 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, and the color changed from black to pink, and there was a heart on the top, it would be very similar to the wand used by the magical girl in the book.

Angel also didn't know the name of the mirror ghost, 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 may 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 I entered the misty illusion, I would fly in a hurry; once I flew, I would be even more confused.

Angel didn't even control the illusion, it was firmly controlled.

There's not much to say about Wand Ghost's strength, but it's interesting how it came out. 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 the illusion on the stairs at the door, but it was actually useless.

The way they came in was not the normal way at all.

What Angel is now curious about is whether the wand ghost is a member of the outside mirror ghost group. When the time is about, it is 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.

Angel 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 percussion of "Dong Dongdong" echoed in the cellar, and every percussion was dull, which meant that he had not yet found a hidden space.

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 on 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.

Angel 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 difficult 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 was 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.

This time, there are three mirror ghosts.

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 appeared, it lay on the ground and walked on all fours, like a beast.

His movements are extremely fast, his body is agile, and he can easily levitate and stick to the four walls, as if he is free from the shackles of gravity.

However, Angel did not see any powerful abilities he released. Perhaps, his abilities would only be released after seeing someone?

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.

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 their entire body.

However, one was covered with black sheets and the other was covered with white sheets, and there were obvious bulges on the tops of their heads, which seemed to be horns.

Just one corner to the right and one corner to the left.

Angel still didn't know this kind of mirror ghost, so he could 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 be able to "fit"?

One is white and the other is black, and the upper corner of the head is deliberately left and right, which are complementary no matter how you look at it.

If you want to be flawless, you can only fit together.

Angel 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.

It's a pity... when they came in, they were on the left and right of the cellar, and the fog easily surrounded them, so there was no need to worry about them meeting.

The second wave of mirror ghosts is 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 law, the third wave of mirror ghosts may be the mirror ghosts that really stimulate their potential.

Moreover, there was only one wand ghost in the first wave, but three mirror ghosts have appeared in the second wave. Shouldn't the number be increased again in the third wave?

If so, be more cautious.

Angel thought for a while, and released some illusion nodes. After confirming that there was mist everywhere from the ceiling to the ground, he closed his hands.

In the next time, Angel still did not care about the mirror ghost trapped in the fog, but continued to pick up the cane and tap the ceiling.

The sense of time is still extending, and the third day arrives as scheduled.

Luigi said before that he might finish "The Confession of the Black Sheep" in half a day, but now I can be sure that this is a bragging.

However, I have to say that the "Black Sheep Confession Song" he played today was significantly higher than the previous two days in terms of emotional intensity.

Infection has also risen to a large level.

Angel even felt that if this "Black Sheep Confession" really suits Uriel's appetite, with 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.
