After knowing what was written in the ancient mottled travel notes, Amber felt a sense of "why am I wasting my time here watching this thing" so much that she even forgot the book for a while What a special thing, I forgot that my adoptive father had lost his life because of this book.
But then again, at this time she remembered the fact that it would be even more sad that the content of this book was beyond her expectations.
But soon she noticed Gao Wen's serious expression, and realized from this expression that Modil's travel notes must have some useful content in the follow-up.
"His attempt finally succeeded," Gao Wen turned over a page, pointing to the content above, and said, "The things behind this ... a lot of information."
Amber quickly rectified her good expression, and once again leaned her head over
"X month x day, after ... many failures, I think I have found the pattern.
"My camouflage plan was unsuccessful, but this does not mean that there is a problem with my thinking. Try to weaken the hostility of the Shadow Residents and let myself be" mixed into it. "This is in itself the right direction. The problem is that my pretense is only for humans. The words are very clever, but in the eyes of real shadow creatures, this disguise is probably very clumsy.
"So, when the Shadow Residents saw me, it might be as if a human in the real world saw a monster in human skin. The human skin is still bloody. No surprise, this can only cause greater hostility and tension. Understand more violent attacks.
"After realizing this possibility, I decided to make a more thorough conversion, a ... a more risky conversion than before.
"I extracted my soul ... using the method I learned from the head of a lich in my early years, plus a little improvement, so as to maintain the" human nature "of the soul and be able to return at any time The original body.
"Here, I need to remind any readers that my method is not informative. It is very dangerous and easy to get out of control. Even if you know the lich stuff, do n’t be blind and confident. Think of yourself As powerful and knowledgeable as Modil Wilde, my attempts are based on my own situation, and anyone who imitates me ... well, anyway, I was already dead at that time, do n’t blame the powerful Modil · Wilde did not give a reminder. "
"Is this man really having a problem !!" Amber finally couldn't help but exclaimed, and the vulgar words blurted out, "Pull out the soul and go to the shadow world to" contact "those indigenous people? How can he be so motivated? ? "
"... To be honest, I was also a bit surprised, which was beyond the courage of the Blazers ... Probably this is the explorer's attachment," Gao Wen shook his head, "but in any case, he succeeded."
Yes, this crazy operation of extracting the soul and transforming was successful, Modil Wilde wrote in the travel note:
"... I succeeded, it was wonderful to look at the world from the perspective of the soul, and my body was lying there quietly, and my old servant Malfoy was nervously guarding 'it', which was imaginative Lian Pian even made me think of my appearance at the funeral after a few years ... but now it is obviously not a cranky time.
"In the state of soul, I can still use spells and perform many actions that only living people can perform (such as writing things). I have completed preparations for the ritual, this time, I will transform my soul without the body Dragging on, this transformation will almost no longer carry any "breath" of the material world, and the soul will leave no trace after the transformation, it will be the real shadow soul, almost the same as those of the shadow residents ... theoretically such.
"I believe my theory in the name of Wilde.
"... x month x day, I came to the shadow world again, in the form of a 'shadow soul'. After wandering for a while, I finally captured the breath of the shadow dwellers ... good luck.
"I succeeded! I just finished a successful contact! I stood in front of the creature covered with cloth, frank and without conflict, everything went smoothly. The creature seemed to be curious to me, he walked around me He spent a lot of time in the end, but in the end he did n’t attack him. Then he started to mumble some strange phrases with me ... I want to focus on these phrases. This is the language of the shadow dwellers. A mumbling voice like a dream, but I couldn't understand it at that time, but now the situation seems to have changed, perhaps because of the 'Shadow Soul', I feel like I am vaguely able to understand their meaning!
"I need some time to crack the language of the Shadow Residents, and to deal with some Shadow Residents, they have intelligence and memory, and they also have emotions and logic. Although they do n’t seem to be the same as humans, I did experience them deeply. Emotions, so a good relationship is essential for the next step ... "
Gao Wen slowly turned the pages of the book, after which was a relatively boring account. Modil Wilde wrote a lot in this part. Obviously, this wonderful adventure in the shadow world is of great significance to him, and soon , His record reached a more critical part:
"... I have been in this world for a long time, and I only occasionally returned a few times in the middle to replenish the soul energy and confirm the real world situation (mainly the mental state of Old Malfoy, he was a little nervous while taking care of my body , I worry that if he does n’t show up for a long time, he will bury me.) As for now, I need to record my progress here.
"I can already communicate with those Shadow Residents, relatively smooth communication.
"Surprisingly, these shadow dwellers are quite ... friendly when they can communicate. They are not completely alienated and ferocious creatures as I imagined. In fact, they even have some ... Lazy and sluggish. I can only think of these words to describe them, because all the shadow dwellers I contacted showed similar traits without hitting them. They wandered in this world muddled, thinking slowly. There is no rich daily life. They do n’t seem to pay attention to the changes in the world and have n’t thought much about their own affairs. Although they do have wisdom, they do n’t use it most of the time.
"Of course, it is another situation that they are angry ... Since I have already written the relevant details before, I will not say more here.
"All in all, the Shadow Residents feel to me as if they are ... sleepwalking, they seem to be immersed in a half-dream half-awakening dream, and therefore wandering, but they are shallower than human" sleepwalking ", they can be with me Communication, as long as I take the initiative to contact and repeatedly ask some questions, there will be interpretation by the Shadow Residents. Although their interpretation is often muddled, at least I can be sure that they are communicating with me.
"I can't help but wonder, is the Shadow Sleeper's" sleepwalking "the normal feature of this race? It was like this when they were sane? Or ......... I met really a shadow sleeper who was half asleep, and they still There is a state of complete 'waking up' ... I'm not sure about this, or whether it's a good idea to 'wake them up', so no further attempts are made.
"After many exchanges, I learned some interesting knowledge from these shadow creatures, based on their worldview knowledge. They obviously know the material world, but they make our material world a" shallow world ", a weird Salutation, it took me a long time to understand what it means ... shallow world? Interesting.
"... After many inquiries, Shadow Residents told me a vocabulary called" Deep Realm ". This vocabulary seemed to correspond to" Shallow Realm ". When I asked about this vocabulary in depth, I got incredible The Shadow Residents said that they were all born from the "Deep Realm", but when I subconsciously asked whether the "Deep Realm" was "this world" (Shadow Realm), they told me not !!
"They were not born in the shadow world. Although they wandered and survived in this space, the place where they were really born was a world called" Deep World "that anthropologists had never known!
"I considered the difference between the vocabulary of the shadow dwellers and the vocabulary of the present world. They called the material world" shallow realm ", so their" deep realm "may also correspond to a place known to humans, but the saying is different. After many inquiries, I found no evidence in this regard ... There is no evidence to prove what the "deep realm" mentioned by Shadow Residents is, which became a mystery ...
"I think I need to stay here longer.
"There is a Shadow Resident who has maintained a good relationship with me. I started to try to get more" knowledge "from him. Unfortunately, I can't write down the name of this new friend. Shadow Resident has no name, although I I tried to call him something, but he didn't seem to like it ... I would call him 'Brian' in private.
"Brian also failed to help me solve the mystery of the" deep boundary ". In this respect, the information he revealed was similar to other Shadow Residents, but in more conversations, Brian told me something outside the deep boundary. Things ... He mentioned the group of Shadow Residents, he does not care how the mere mortal race of the "shallow realm" calls himself this group, he just said, "We are walking on the edge of a dream, wandering along the border of the sober world" , This is his original words ...
"A very mysterious and seemingly metaphorical sentence, I tried to interpret it, but suffered from a lack of key clues. What is this" dream "? Brian did not answer ...
"After many attempts, I can only sum up this point: all the Shadow Residents are wanderers walking on the edge of the dream. This seems to be a dream from the deep realm. This dream has been maintained for many years, while the Shadow Residents … They seem to be part of this dream in a sense, at least they think so. They wander along the borders of the dream and walk around over and over again, seeming to outline the dream and the lucid world in this way The dividing line ...
"I think of my" feeling "of them before. They are a half-dream half-wake race, as if sleepwalking. It's muddled. I think I found the empirical evidence of this feeling. They really are" sleepwalking "...
"It makes me a little bit creepy, and further feels that ..." Wake up "these shadow dwellers may not really be a good idea.
"In addition to the progress made on that treacherous" Deep Realm Dream "," Brian "also helped me learn more about the shadow realm, deep realm, and shallow realm ...
"They said that there is a certain relationship between the" deep boundary "and the" shallow boundary ", and the two are actually overlapping. However, the deep boundary and the shallow boundary cannot directly establish a connection. Only a few talented people have noticed The moment they stagger, but those lucky people can't understand it, it's beyond human intelligence ...
"They also talked about the" hometown ", that is, the mysterious" deep realm ". They said that the deep realm was not set in stone. When the shadow dwellers were born, there was a stable and beautiful place. I'm not sure what the shadow dwellers said Whether "beauty" is the concept of "beauty" in the minds of ordinary people in the material world. The aesthetics of the two races may differ greatly, but I can feel that from "Brian" and several other familiar shadow dwellers. The deep realm of loss and frustration is gone.
"In" Brian "parlance, it is now a distorted, desolate, barren and gradual field of madness. The deep realm is moving towards the end, although it has also experienced a short period of" recovery ", but the overall decline and demise It seems to be unstoppable ... The shadow dwellers therefore left the deep realm and wandered into the shadow realm closer to the "shallow realm".
"In addition, they also mentioned one thing. This is a major event that is recorded as a major event in the overall muddled Shadow Resident Ethnic Group. Such a situation is not often seen. They mentioned that not all Shadow Residents are wandering. On the edge of the eternal 'Deep Dream', there was an individual who accidentally fell into a 'wake trap' and took the wrong step out of the sight of the ethnic group ...
"'Brian' told me that it was the only shadow dweller in history who 'woke up'.
"Of course, Shadow Residents don't have" history "," historical "is just an adjective.
"Strangely, although the Shadow Residents referred to this as a" big event ", they didn't seem to care much about it during the conversation. They didn't want to find the" missing "clan, even though it included Many Shadow Residents, including Brian, expressed regret for this, but they did not seem to care more ...
"I asked Brian about it, and his answer was intriguing, he said
"'Why not find it? In the end we all wake up'."
