Chapter 3907 Insider and Meeting
Gabriel was too big.
Although the hall of the Text Manor is not small, it is designed based on the shape of a "human" after all. The width is fine, but the height is still too low. It is a bit difficult to put Gabriel down.
Gabriel was originally planning to stroll around the hall, but upon hearing Laplace's warning, he quickly stopped.
Laplace gave Gabriel another look and prepared to go to the study to talk to Angel about the situation.
She had heard Angel's voice transmission in the outside world before, so she came to the Text Manor as soon as possible.
Although Angel's tone was calm at the time, Laplace could hear a sense of urgency, and thought that something important must have happened on his side.
Just as Laplace was about to go upstairs, footsteps were suddenly heard on the stairs.
Laplace was stunned, and looked up, only to see Angel slowly walking down the stairs.
"Angel?" Surprise flashed in Laplace's eyes. Wasn't Angel in the Modern City dungeon before? How come he came out so soon?
As soon as he had the thought, Laplace realized something was wrong. There was an obvious sense of illusion nodes floating around Angel.
Is this an illusion?
Although he saw through that Angel was an illusion, Laplace still felt confused.
Didn't we communicate via voice transmission every time before? Why is it so serious this time?
"You..." Laplace wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. She glanced at the direction of the hall with her peripheral vision. Gabriel and Huici had obviously noticed the situation here and were secretly glancing over here.
"Should we go up and talk?" Laplace asked.
Angel thought about it and shook his head: "No, although this matter is quite important, but... it doesn't matter if they hear it. After all, they are members of Dream Mirror, and they should know some inside information."
Angel originally just wanted to talk to Laplace about the situation, but when he saw Gabriel and Huici were there, he changed his mind and decided to make it public.
Of course, the public disclosure here refers to disclosure within the "Dream Mirror" organization.
Anyway, Huici and Gabriel had already signed the contract, so there was no need to worry about leaks. Moreover, even if the secrets were leaked, it wouldn't have caused much impact, after all, it was the Dream Crystal Origin that conquered the Dark Corner, not the Dark Corner that eroded the Dream Crystal Origin.
As for whether to make it public? Of course, but not now.
"What's going on?" Laplace raised his eyebrows with some confusion in his eyes, but he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he nodded and followed Angel back to the hall.
Gabriel and Huici also looked at Angel at this time. Gabriel was no stranger to Angel, but it was the first time for Huici to see Angel in person.
The moment Huici saw Ingres for the first time, he felt that his talent had slightly moved.
However, the noise was small and soon subsided.
This made Huici a little puzzled.
At first, the reason why he stopped Laplace and revealed that he had passed the training wonderland was because he felt an unprecedented sense of security in Laplace.
Ever since he sensed that there were dangerous signs like "the sky is falling" in the Daytime Mirror Domain, he has been in a state of anxiety. He fled the city of Truga, wandered around, and finally found a sense of security through the login device.
And in the Dream Crystal Origin, the source of the sense of security was finally identified: the Dream Mirror Organization.
Whether it was Laplace, the bunny girl, or even Gleipnir, they all gave him a deep sense of security.
As a cowardly and insecure Cuphead, Huici immediately decided to join the Dream Mirror Organization by all means.
In the past few days since he joined the Dream Mirror Organization, he has clearly felt a sense of inner peace, and he understands that this is all brought to him by the Dream Mirror Organization.
Because he met all the members of the Dream Mirror Organization...except Gabriel, they could all give him a sense of security.
He had also heard of Angel's name and knew that he was an indispensable founding member of the Dream Mirror Organization, and could even be said to be a core figure.
Huici had fantasized more than once that after meeting Ingres, her sense of security would surely rise to a higher level.
But the reality made him feel confused.
Angel's appearance did cause some changes in his talent, but that change was similar to the feeling Gabriel gave him.
Why is Ingres so different from Laplace and others?
While Huici was wondering, Ingres, who was not far away, had already walked into the hall.
Just as Angel walked into the hall, Huici suddenly saw that there was a sudden change under Angel's feet, and a faint sense of spatial distortion appeared.
With every step Ingres took, the sense of spatial distortion became more and more severe, and it even began to change the surrounding environment.
Huici suspected that he had seen it wrong and could not help but close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was not mistaken. The background around Angel had completely changed.
It was originally an exquisite manor hall, but as Ingres took a step, it was covered and twisted, and the furnishings in the hall were all obscured by the mist.
In the mist, Huici saw the interior of a church that looked abandoned.
There were chairs piled up randomly everywhere, a thin layer of water on the marble floor, and even the red carpet on the ground was submerged in the water and showed signs of swelling.
At this moment, Ingres was walking on this swollen red carpet. Every step he took compressed and changed the environment in the hall, turning the surroundings into that of a church.
This kind of wonderful power... Huici had never seen it before, he was stunned.
Soon, Ingres walked to Huici's side.
Angel looked at Huici deeply, touched Turing beside him, and continued walking forward.
He passed Gabriel, nodded to Gabriel, and finally stopped not far away.
At the moment when Angel stopped, the environment of the manor hall completely changed into a wet church, and the scene behind Angel also slowly appeared...
On a circular stage, two tall half-human, half-puppets were stretching their bodies gracefully.
Every time she stretches her body, her high heels turn into ice skates, sliding across the stage in arcs of light that are both gorgeous and dangerous.
Huici was staring at the scene in a daze, especially the pair of puppets on the stage behind Ingres.
So tall, so terrifying.
Just by looking at it, Huici felt the ferocity coming towards him, and he couldn't help but tremble.
At this moment, a pair of slender hands pressed down his shoulders.
Huici looked up and saw Laplace coming to his side.
The sense of security given by Laplace made Huici slowly relax. It was precisely because of his relaxation and calmness that he suddenly realized that the pair of skating puppets on the stage did not trigger his talent - danger sensing.
This surprised Huici.
You know, when he met the Ersi people, his danger sense kept warning him. But now that he met this pair of puppets that looked dangerous, he had no sense of crisis at all?
Huici was both surprised and suspicious, but in the end it was Laplace who explained: "This is an illusion."
After hearing Laplace's words, Huici was stunned for a moment, and finally resolved his doubts. If it was just an illusion, then he understood. Illusions are fake after all, and they will not trigger danger sensing.
However, Laplace's next sentence confused Huici again.
"Including Angel, it's also an illusion."
Is Ingres also an illusion?
Huh——?! Illusion?!
That's not right. When he saw Angel before, his danger sensor was triggered, right? How could it be an illusion?
But Huici's question was met with Laplace's firm gaze.
Huici was in a trance for a moment. He believed that Laplace could not lie to him, so Angel was really just an illusion.
Thinking of this, he seemed to understand why the Angel he saw today did not give him such a strong sense of security like other members of the Dream Mirror, because it was just an illusion.
However, after further thinking, Huici was shocked again.
A single illusion could trigger his talent and make him vaguely feel safe. If the real Angel came, how strong would the sense of security be?
Cuphead's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Angel with admiration.
Angel didn't know what Huici was thinking. He just clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to look over: "Everyone please sit down first... Including you, Gabriel, you can also choose a place to sit down."
Gabriel remained motionless at this time.
Although it appears to be inside a spacious church, it knows that it is all an illusion and that if it really moves it would scratch the chandelier above its head.
Perhaps noticing Gabriel's uneasiness, Angel chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I added some ingredients to the illusion. The scene you see is the real distance."
Gabriel hesitated for a moment, then slowly floated up half a meter.
According to Gabriel's estimation, they had already passed the chandelier and should have hit it long ago, but there was nothing there.
Gabriel seemed to realize something and floated directly up into the air, even more than ten meters, almost approaching the top of the church, and there was still no obstruction.
It finally understood why Ingres said "the scene you see is the real distance".
Is this the illusion after "adding ingredients"? It actually has the effect of extending the space?
Although Gabriel did not ask about his doubts, Angel could guess what he was thinking... The illusion has the ability to blur the distance perception of the recipient, and with the power of nightmare, it is even more real and fake.
The incredibleness of the nightmare can be seen from this.
Soon, everyone was seated.
Gabriel and Huici chose seats at the back. They didn't know what was going to happen, but they knew very well that no matter how big the matter was, it would be difficult for them to have a say, so they could only listen obediently at the back.
Laplace came to the side of the stage and sat down on a chair.
She was not confused about the surrounding environment. Angel had previously displayed the underwater church in the form of a "live broadcast", and this time it was just changed to a holographic method.
But Laplace didn't understand why Ingres made such a big fuss?
She still remembered that Angel was deciphering the code and preparing to go to the dark corner. Could it be that something went wrong in the process?
Facing Laplace's doubts, Angel just said softly: "We are still short of people."
Laplace was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around.
However, on one side of the stage, the bunny girl also appeared. However, the bunny girl did not blend into the church illusion. Instead, she sat on a bunny rocking chair.
And this rabbit rocking chair is in the office in the Rabbit Building.
In other words, Ingres simulated the current situation of the bunny girl in the church in the form of an illusion.
"Hello." The bunny girl was a little restrained. She waved her hand and snuggled down in the rocking chair.
Laplace glanced at her and said softly, "You're here too?"
The bunny girl nodded: "Angel said there was something important to discuss, so I came. No, I didn't come either, I was actually still in the office..."
Laplace understood what the bunny girl meant. Angel used illusion to simulate her here, and he must have also simulated the situation here in the bunny building.
Conducting multilateral simulations simultaneously can be considered an alternative online meeting.
Gabriel and Huici, on the other hand, didn't understand what the bunny girl meant. Why was she in the office and here again? But they didn't ask, they just listened silently.
"Since she's here, Gleipnir should be here too, right?" Laplace looked at Angel.
Ingres nodded slightly and pointed to the other side of the stage.
Laplace followed the finger and saw an illusion slowly taking shape.
No, not one illusion, but two.
Looking closely, the illusion on the left was Gleipnir, who was sitting at her desk, writing something. When the illusion around her was almost complete, she raised her head, greeted everyone casually, and then complained in a low voice:
"I was still handling a mission, but Angel told me there was something urgent, so I came here."
As soon as she finished speaking, the illusion on the right was successfully generated.
But it was Luigi holding a harp.
Luigi looked around and chuckled, "You all are here? I thought Angel had only called me here, I didn't expect you were here too."
After Luigi finished speaking, he looked at Gabriel and Huici. Although it was the first time he met these two, he had heard of their names a long time ago.
Luigi greeted them straightforwardly, "I know you guys. I heard from Laplace that you guys are now registering the difficulty of dungeons. This job sounds interesting. When I get out of the dungeon, I'll follow you around!"
Huici greeted him timidly, while Gabriel controlled the illusion puppet and responded to Luigi enthusiastically.
Luigi himself is a very outgoing person, and when he met the talkative Gabriel, he started chatting directly.
Cough cough--
But at this moment, Laplace coughed.
Luigi looked back, only to see Laplace staring at him calmly.
Luigi was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, but he saw Gabriel, who had been chatting with him happily before, shrinking his head and hiding behind the seat.
When he looked back, he found that Ingres was already standing in front of the stage, looking at him silently.
Luigi scratched his head, chuckled, and dared not say another word.
When Luigi calmed down, Angel said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started."
