Chapter 3852 Overlap Point
Of course, all this is just Gleipnir's speculation.
However, she was still certain, because she had previously tried to get information about Paipai during a "paid chat" with Yusup.
Yusup has many comments about Paipai, which can be summed up in one sentence: his talent is no less than that of the old president.
And when Gleipnir asked: "Could it be that Paipai's disappearance means she doesn't want to come back?"
However, Yusup gave a very firm negative answer.
According to Yusup, Paipai is a very responsible person. He took over the management of Prada Media at a young age and is very motivated and energetic.
Even though Yusup is now relying on the "nudity show" to support Prada Media, he is actually influenced by Paipai.
From this information, it can be seen that with Paipai's personality, she would never watch Prada Media go bankrupt.
And she must have realized that without her own Prada Media, the probability of decline would be almost 100%.
Therefore, in Gleipnir's opinion, there is at least an 80% chance that the bet she made with the carnival clown Abigail is to let Abigail temporarily become the face of Prada Media and save the collapsing company from the brink of disaster.
If combined with the advancement of the main quest, this possibility can reach 100%.
After all, the main mission is to revive the Prada beauty show, and the key to the revival of the beauty show is the "Carnival Night Clown".
Combining the two, it is not difficult to guess the reason.
……
"Now it's your turn to answer me. Why did you set up the ceremony to summon me? And how did you know that the Lightless Space is in the nearby void?" Abigail looked at Gleipnir impatiently.
These two questions involve information about the fairyland... Gleipnir certainly cannot answer them truthfully.
Even if she wanted to learn from Ingres and disguise the information about the wonderland as the so-called "great existence" and then fool Abigail, this would actually be quite troublesome, and there would be more questions that needed to be explained later.
She didn't want to make things complicated unless necessary.
Moreover, the more complex it is, the more likely it is that there will be problems that cannot be resolved.
In addition, Abigail's emotions were not as stable as Zuniga's, so it was even more impossible for her to tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir changed his mind and raised his eyebrows and said, "These are two questions. Which one do you want me to answer first?"
Abigail narrowed her eyes in displeasure, "Why can't you show your generosity first?"
Gleipnir said calmly, "I want to say the same thing to you... Why can't you be the first to show generosity?"
Abigail was choked by this, her lips trembled for a moment, and then she said bitterly: "Then come one by one."
"can."
Grapni paused and said softly, "Why do we need to set up a ceremony to summon you? Because we need you."
Abigail: “???”
"Is that all? You didn't even tell me why you needed me?"
Gleipnir: "Why we need you is another question. Just like before, I asked you what you were going to do after finding someone, but you didn't answer me."
Abigail: “…”
Its eyes have now completely turned into dead fish eyes, dull and droopy.
It kind of regretted communicating with Gleipnir, feeling that she could not suffer any loss even more than itself.
"If you want to continue communicating like this, breaking down a question that can be answered in one sentence into countless small questions, then I think there is no need for us to continue communicating." Abigail stared at Gleipnir.
"You were the first to tear it down," Gleipnir countered.
Abigail shook her head, "It's different. What I'm going to do after I find someone is the purpose of my coming to this world. I can't reveal it to you completely."
"After all, you might become an obstacle to my goal. So, I can only be as obscure as possible and express as little as possible."
"If you want me to give you a complete answer, what is my purpose in coming to this world?"
"Then you have to tell me first, what is your purpose in setting up this ritual and summoning me? If our goals don't conflict, I don't mind answering you."
"But if there is a conflict, then if I answer you in advance, won't it become a weapon to stop me later?"
Gleipnir's eyes did not change, but he was actually wavering in his heart.
It must be said that Abigail's words really moved her. Especially, she had some guesses about Abigail's "purpose"...
If Paipai really asked Abigail to help Prada Media, he must have told Abigail in advance about the threats that Prada Media is currently facing.
Whether it is the Fashion Guild in the open or the Dark Round Table in secret, they are actually threats.
It can even be said to be a hostile force to Prada Media.
From Abigail's perspective, she knew nothing about Gleipnir. If Gleipnir happened to be a member of the Guild of Fashion or the Dark Round Table, then she would be aiding the enemy by making her purpose known.
Therefore, Gleipnir actually understood and slightly agreed with Abigail's words and her previous answer.
Gleipnir was a little hesitant. How about she "suffer a little loss" first?
Just as she was hesitating, Abigail suddenly said, "Well, let me first answer two of your questions that have nothing to do with my goal. Then you can tell me your purpose."
"If I judge that it does not conflict with my purpose, then I will tell you my purpose."
In Abigail's opinion, this was actually a concession.
Gleipnir thought about it, and finally nodded: "Okay."
Abigail: "Then ask two questions that have nothing to do with my goal."
Gleipnir thought for a moment and said, "The first question is what you just mentioned. Why did the lightless space become like a cellar?"
Abigail: “Because it’s the anchor.”
Anchor point? Gleipnir was puzzled.
Perhaps in order to show her "sincerity", Abigail's explanation this time was relatively comprehensive, and she even revealed some additional secrets.
According to him, the area without light originally belonged to a dark corner, and if the dark corner wanted to connect with the real world, there must be an "overlapping point".
And this "overlapping point" is the so-called "anchor point".
Dark corners need to use this "anchor point" to deceive the original world, so generally speaking, the anchor point will simulate the environment of the present world, or even directly overlap with the environment of the present world.
Therefore, after the lightless world is connected with the real world, it will autonomously form an anchor point to simulate the external environment.
Only in this way can the world without light remain stable.
In other words, the transformation of the dark room into a cellar was not Abigail's doing, but an inevitable rule of the intersection and overlap of the dark corner and the real world.
After hearing Abigail's answer, Gleipnir felt as if he had suddenly gained a lot.
Its previous answers were always like squeezing toothpaste; but this time, it was like moving boxes and pouring out, with a large amount of information, and a lot of it was unique.
Things like the "anchor points", "overlapping points" and "rules" it mentioned are important information that even Ingres has not found yet.
Suddenly, Gleipnir felt as if a long drought had finally ended and now there was a downpour.
"It wasn't you who turned the dark space into a cellar. Then, it was you who turned my 'dream' into a cellar, right?" Gleipnir asked curiously.
Abigail: "Is this your second question?"
Gleipnir thought for a moment and said, "Alright, but you still need to tell me how I can leave this dream."
At this point, Gleipnir clearly knew that this was a "dream", but she had not yet discovered a way to leave.
Even when Abigail and Angel were controlling her body, her consciousness was still immersed in this "dream game" and she knew nothing about the outside world.
Therefore, how to leave this dream is indeed what she urgently wants to know.
Abigail: "It was indeed me who made your dream turn into a cellar, but I was not the one who arranged the dream-entering technique. It was to make you relax your vigilance and let down your guard, so that I can control your body to modify the ritual and it will go more smoothly."
"Is there someone else who set up the dream-entering technique?" Gleipnir asked in surprise.
Abigail nodded. "I'll give you this question. The one who set up the 'Dream Game' in the Darkness was the one who made the bet with me."
The person who made the bet? That was Paipai?! Gleipnir understood immediately.
Abigail continued, "She asked me to come to the human world, and she must have arranged some follow-up measures for me. Anyone who steps into the lightless space will fall into the trap she set and fall into the dream situation."
"I had nothing to do during the time when I was without light, so I studied the dream game she set up. Although I didn't understand the principle, I was able to influence the dream of the dream game to a certain extent."
This is why the cellar appears in Gleipnir's dream game, because Abigail influenced the expression of the dream.
After hearing this, Gleipnir roughly understood Paipai's intention.
Paipai was also worried that Abigail might encounter some troubles when she came to the human world, such as the attack from the "magician" or the invasion from the "hostile organization"... So, she set up this dream game in advance to buy time for Abigail.
This also shows how much importance Pai attaches to Abigail.
Then the intention of Pai Pai can basically be determined.
"As for how you are going to leave this dream, there are two ways: first, when the time comes, you will naturally wake up; second, when your body returns to the outside cellar from the darkness, you will also wake up."
According to Abigail, this "dream game" will make people sleep for a day and a night.
That is to say, at least twenty-four hours.
And twenty-four hours later, it is exactly the time when the sealing ritual between the lightless and the dark will be automatically released. This is obviously something that Paipai has specially considered.
As for the second method, to get the body back from the Darkness to the outside cellar, Abigail had her own explanation: "I originally thought that I would control your body to modify the ritual, and then I would take you out of the Darkness, and then you would wake up."
"But who would have known... there was actually another consciousness inside you that took away my control."
Gleipnir automatically ignored the second half of the sentence.
In the first half of the sentence, Abigail said that it would control Gleipnir to leave the Darkness. Gleipnir had no way of judging whether this was true or false.
However, now that Angel can control his own body, if he leaves the dark room for a while, he will be able to confirm whether he can wake up.
From this point of view, what Abigail said should be true.
Abigail: "Okay, I've answered your two questions, and I've even given you one more question. To show my sincerity, I can tell you one more piece of news now."
"Do you think you are trapped in the Dream Bureau?" Abigail shook her head. "No, this is actually a form of protection for you."
Gleipnir: "Protect?"
Abigail nodded. "Yes, I said before that the lightless room will become like a cellar because it has become an anchor point."
"And the anchor point is not formed immediately, it takes a stabilization process."
“This process lasts about a day and a night.”
"During this day and night, if someone breaks into the dark space, their consciousness will be marked by the unstable dark corner aura. Pulling your consciousness into the dream bureau is actually protecting your consciousness from being marked."
Gleipnir: "What happens after being marked?"
Abigail: "People who are marked will be more easily targeted by the Dark Corner. In other words, you may be wandering around in the real world one second, and the moment you turn around, you are swallowed by the Dark Corner and fall from the real world into the Dark Corner..."
"For me, this is not a big deal. But for you humans, going to the dark corner is basically a dead end."
I have to say, this news... is very important.
Gleipnir had heard from Angel before that he had been searching for the entrance to the Dark Corner dungeon, but had no clues.
And now, the clue is here!
Although it is not explicitly stated that people with dark corner marks will definitely fall into a dark corner, at least the probability is many times higher than that of ordinary people.
For people like Angel and Zuniga who pursue dark corners, this is definitely not a negative effect, but rather a great gain.
Thinking of this, Gleipnir looked at Abigail in a much friendlier manner.
Judging from the information it revealed, Abigail was indeed "generous" this time.
"As agreed, it's your turn now." Abigail: "If you want to know the purpose of my coming to this world, you must at least tell me your purpose first, otherwise, I will not reveal it."
Gleipnir: "Since I have agreed, I will naturally abide by the agreement."
After a pause, she slowly said: "I have already told you the reason why we came here. Because we need you."
"As for why it is necessary? I will explain this to you slowly."
Gleipnir: "Do you know where you are in the world now?"
Abigail shook her head.
"We are now in... Modern City."
When Gleipnir said "Modern City", Abigail's pupils shrank noticeably.
Gleipnir noticed this, but she didn't point it out. She continued, "I don't know if you know anything about Modern City... Anyway, there are three very important competitions in Modern City. They are the "Dark Competition" held by the Dark Round Table, the "Modern Fashion Show" hosted by the Fashion Guild, and the "Prada Beauty Show" held by Prada Media."
"These three competitions represent the highest level of Modern City and are the halls that countless magicians pursue."
"But now, the Prada beauty pageant is being slowly eliminated from the top three competitions. The main reason is that the former chief planner of the 'Carnival Night Clown' has mysteriously disappeared."
"And 'Carnival Night Clown' is the entry threshold for the three major competitions. Without 'Carnival Night Clown', the Prada beauty show will inevitably slowly slide down from the top three competitions."
"And my companions and I summoned you to save the Prada beauty pageant..."
