Four: The Illusion Chamber
The inside of the hut was dirty, though not small, with only a few worn chairs and a few brooms, dust everywhere, a very broken window, and a corner covered in cobwebs—a sign that no one had been here for a long time, and the main thing was that it had been abandoned.
She didn't understand why the boy had brought her to such an abandoned hut and said it was a house with some kind of ability.
She was about to ask the boy when suddenly, something surprising happened: the hut changed in an instant, without any process at all, as if someone had suddenly enchanted it—certainly without magic, of course. But if there is magic, there must be a spell!
She felt strange, reminiscent of the "bizarre incident" reported on the news she watched that day. However, the boy did not do anything to prove that it was not the boy who did it.
The dirty place turned into a palatial place in an instant, completely different from what it had just looked. Just now it was just a very dilapidated looking and dirty log cabin, and it was abandoned, so to speak, a stark contrast. Today, it looks like a royal castle where ancient emperors lived.
She stared around in amazement, and there was a look of great joy on her face, which was simply incredible!
It's so peculiar!
It is brightly lit, with countless small colorful lights on the ceiling, and in the middle is a large lamp that looks like a regular pentagon and glows blue, and if you stare at this headlight for a few seconds, the light will sting people's eyes. The words "Ovidora" are written on all sides of the wall, and they are all carved with tools of different colors, which is indeed a magical place. Seeing this, she felt more and more strange.
Why did it suddenly turn out like this? Am I dreaming? She thought to herself.
"How did it come to this? Is all this true? Am I dreaming? She couldn't help but ask the boy.
"Of course it's true! Because this is the "Illusion Room"!" The boy told her, "Everything just now is not real!" Now it's real, and when we're done, it's just a little while, about 30 seconds, and that's it. The real appearance can only be seen after the identity is verified. If the identity is wrong, you can't see it! In other words, people with the wrong identity can only see the dirty hut – not the way we see it now! ”
"So what you mean by "Illusion Chamber" is dedicated to verifying identity and then changing shape? ”
"It's pretty much the same! Looks like you already know what the name means. That's right, it's the real appearance of the identity that will be transformed after verifying it - similar to illusion, so it's called the "magic room", of course, the ability is a special ability. In fact, the "Magical Chamber" is going to the "Galaxy Lounge", that is, we have to go from here to there. To get to another plane or planet, you have to go through the "galaxy lounge" - unless you have an ability count of 100,000 or more, you can go directly through the space-time portal or the planet gate, otherwise you have to go from here. This place is also very mysterious, in order to hide people's eyes, I had to set up the "Magic Room" in a secret place, this cabin is very old, and the most important thing is that it has been abandoned, so this place was chosen as a secret location. The boy explained to her very carefully, so that she could understand as much as possible.
At this moment, she seemed to be in a fog, obviously, she couldn't understand a lot, because it seemed very strange, in her opinion, very nonsensical - who made her live in the world of Duolun before. She couldn't say anything strange, which made her very depressed, but she was still happy, because it was magical—including what the boy said, it was as if he were making up a story.
This was the first time she felt truly happy.
The most important thing to study was that such a beautiful room, except for some individual decorations on the ceiling and walls, was empty and empty—which disappointed her a little.
Now in front of them was just an ordinary golden shelf, about a meter high, like an open book. The two sides of the shelf are like the two sides of a book, glowing golden, but the inside is empty, unlike a book, which has paper and contents. Other than that, there's nothing else special about it, it's just that this thing is here and I don't know what it's going to do.
"It's just an ordinary gold shelf, why put it here? It's weird! She thought silently to herself.
"This is not an ordinary golden shelf, it is called the "Golden Book". Of course, the "Golden Book" must be its nickname, because it is a book that can be opened but not read, so it is named "Golden Book". It can take us to the "galaxy lounge", we stand on both sides of the "book", that is, to stand inside the shelf, and it will automatically start the program to take us there. It's magical, you look at it! ”
She looked at the boy in surprise and opened her mouth in an O-shape: "How do you know what I'm thinking?" I don't think I said it. ”
"Yes, you didn't say it, but I know what you're thinking. Because I'm just like you...".
She paused, "Like me?" What do you mean? She asked anxiously............... Looks a little panicked.
"Well, how can I tell you? That is to say, I also have a strange ability", said the boy, "and the reason why I know what you are thinking is because I can read your mind, that is, I know what you are thinking." It's also a special ability.
"So, you're like me, like Dr. Peter said when I was in the hospital: the cell has a "fourth division"? ”
"That's right, we're all Strangers! Your ability is not a disease, it is normal, it is the ability that a person with extraordinary abilities has! Ability is a special superpower, called a special ability, understand? ”
She nodded her head as if she didn't understand, and listened in confusion. Although she couldn't understand some of the boy's words, she was still happy because she felt that there was finally someone like her, and she was relieved at this time.
After what seemed to be a few minutes, the boy took something out of his coat pocket and fiddled with it in his hand. An oval thing like glass, transparent on all sides, and some thickness.
"Alright, come with me." The boy said.
She followed the boy to the "golden book".
