Chapter 127: Three Possibilities
In the process of returning to the gray mist, Klein only felt that the coldness in his body quickly dissipated, and there was no longer the feeling that every "spirit worm" would give birth to a new consciousness.
After a moment, the mottled bronze table appeared in front of him, and he saw that the spirits of Miss "Justice" and Leonard gradually became clear from the thin gray mist, but maintained a certain obscurity.
When the gray mist that swirled around them sank into the "ground," Crane asked:
"How are you feeling now?"
He habitually used the tone of Gelman Sparrow, but immediately recalled that in that "hall of honesty", his inner muttering, divergent thoughts, habitual analysis, and slander of Leonard were completely exposed, and he could no longer maintain his original image in front of Miss "Justice".
"It's all Leonard's fault!Hey, just follow the doctor's instructions, not only did he not wear a thick mask this time, but he also took off the thin one......" Crane subconsciously flashed such a thought, and immediately forcibly interrupted his thoughts, and glanced left and right vigilantly.
He hadn't shaken the fear that his inner thoughts would be "spoken" out loud.
Fortunately, this is no longer the place he named the "Hall of Honesty", and there is no longer the kind of "magic" that cannot be fought by normal abilities.
It's clear that "Justice" Audrey and "Star" Leonard have similar PTSD, one purses her lips violently, and the other sits up straight, as if they have both instinctively thought of something just now.
After a few seconds of calm, they remembered that Gelman Sparrow had just asked about their condition, and they hurriedly pulled their attention back to the right track.
"It feels like something has been purified...... Originally, I had the illusion that I would split into a second personality, no, not a second personality, it seemed that there was something in my body that did not belong to me awakening, well, now no, praise Mr. 'Fool'!" "Justice" Audrey did her self-psychoanalysis quite professionally, and then sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Thanks to this, I can accept it calmly...... Dangerous thoughts, fortunately in the "Hall of Honesty", Miss "Justice" and Leonard's thoughts did not turn in the direction of "Fool", otherwise I would definitely not be able to resist "answering", and it would be over...... My shame will cause me to spiral out of control on the spot and collapse into a bunch of "spirit worms...... Klein's thoughts flickered, and he responded seriously:
"Praise Mr. 'Fool'!"
“...... Praise to Mr. 'Fool'. As a believer in the "Goddess of the Night", Leonard hesitated and agreed, and then quickly changed the subject, "I don't have any problems, just now, I felt that something was calling me behind that bronze gate, what about you?"
Seeing that Leonard had also confirmed his status, Klein put the "Darkless Cross" in his hand and the metal vial containing his blood on the mottled table in front of him at the same time.
"I feel that way too. He replied in the affirmative.
"Me too, it's not a hallucination, I've done a mental analysis of myself. "Justice," Audrey said in a rather unambiguous tone.
"Star" Leonard raised his hand and scratched his chin and said:
"What could it be?
"I need an old god to seal behind my throne......"
After what happened before, he felt that he no longer had any image in front of Miss "Justice", and his posture became more and more casual.
"We can try to ......do an analysis," Audrey "Justice" Audrey gave a cautious look at Gelman Sparrow of the World.
She was impressed by the gentleman's ability to assemble information, make associations, and complete analysis and speculation in a short period of time.
Klein thought for a moment, and said without preset inclination:
"There are only three possibilities, one is that some kind of powerful creature in the real world of the Second Age, at least close to sequence 0, was sealed by the 'fantasy dragon' Angelweed at the bottom of the 'City of Miracles' Levihid, behind his own throne, however, I don't think this is too big, because the old god made this travelogue, stuffed it into Levixid, and affected the world in the book and the real world at the same time, and must have his own plans, and it is unlikely that he will put an unstable factor there for a long time. ”
"Well, we all know that we need to get rid of accidents, let alone an old god. Audrey nodded slightly, and began a serious discussion with Gelman the "World".
At this time, Leonard said "heh":
"Maybe the 'Fantasy Dragon', the old god, has seen some scenes from the distant future and thinks that what has been sealed will help him realize his plan to some extent?"
"So I said it's not likely, not impossible. Klein replied calmly, "The second possibility is that the sealed thing itself is the key to the plot of the 'utopian dragon' Angleweed, and when this travelogue and '0-08' meet, the seal will be lifted, and that thing will return to the real world and bring some kind of change." I think this one is probably the biggest. ”
Among them, it may also involve the true position or intention of the "wisdom dragon".
"What could it be? Mr. Fool said that after Adam got '0-08', he was closer to the throne of God, and the times changed because of this, which means that Adam has gathered all the materials of the 'Visionary', and only one ritual is missing...... I don't know if my understanding is correct?" "Justice" Audrey gave her opinion.
"I don't know, but I'll pray to Mr. Fool to see if I can get a clearer revelation. Crane didn't say anything.
Unfortunately, the old man is an angel of the Fourth Age, and he has no in-depth knowledge of the Second Age, but he is no stranger to Adam...... "Star" Leonard said thoughtfully:
"I'll try to ......"
He wanted to say that he would try to investigate, but then he thought that the two of them here knew their secrets, so he gave up struggling and said directly:
“...... Try to ask the old man. ”
"I'm sorry for you. Audrey thanked her sincerely.
In her opinion, this is a matter of the "audience" approach, and the person who cares most about it is undoubtedly herself, and others are more helpful.
Immediately after, she took the initiative to say:
"The third possibility is that it's something from the world in the book or a monster that's sealed?"
"Yes, it may be closely related to the world in the book, and destroying it will cause the world in the book to collapse, so the old god Angleweed can only be sealed. Klein gave his guess.
"Justice," Audrey pondered for a moment and said:
"I have an idea for this possibility. ”
Seeing that Mr. "World" and Mr. "Star" both cast their eyes and waited for an answer, she slowed down and said:
"I'm thinking about it from a psychological point of view.
"Since the world in the book was 'utopian' by Angleweed, the ocean of the collective subconscious there must have arisen from him, and it was imprinted and precipitated by his spirit, emotions, and feelings.
"Perhaps the 'City of Miracles' Livihid seals the most extreme of these things, some shadows in the heart of the 'utopian dragon', some fears, or, some extremely terrible things cast in his consciousness, as long as he himself has not really overcome them, has not been eradicated in reality, then the collective subconscious of the world in the book cannot be destroyed, can only be sealed, if left unchecked, they will gradually pollute that 'ocean', so that the development of history out of the predetermined trajectory. ”
Leonard was more attentive than he had been in the internal meetings of the "Night Watchmen" or even the "Red Gloves" squad, and after listening to it, he couldn't help but mention:
"As an ancient god who dominates the sky and the heart, what can make him leave an indelible shadow and create an extremely strong fear?"
"I don't know. Audrey shook her head calmly, "If it is purely psychologically analyzed, since the seal is under the throne, at the bottom of the 'City of Miracles', and there is a passage that extends all the way down, it means that the source of shadows and fears may have originally come from the underground, so the 'Fantasy Dragon' will have a psychological mapping of sealing it, no, blocking it underground, otherwise, why not on the side of the throne, in the depths of the hall, in a special prison, somewhere else?"
Listening to Miss "Justice" words, Klein suddenly thought of what happened to the two young ladies "The Magician" and "Judgment":
According to the information provided by the blood clan, they found an ancient castle of unknown age, and at the bottom of that ancient castle, there was a bronze door, which seemed to seal some terrible thing from the underground, and if they approached that door, or stayed around for too long, they would be polluted and die miserably!
It was an ancient castle that I didn't know what to build to defend against, and it was originally guarded by humans of unknown age...... When the Bloods discovered this place, no one dared to go deeper...... I thought it might be related to demons, and at least demigods would have to be able to explore it...... Could this have something to do with the seal of the "City of Miracles" Levixid? Klein's mind quickly unfolded, and he quickly turned out a similar piece of information from his memory:
On his way to the ruins of the Divine War on the Mirai of Gadelia, he encountered a so-called "Deep Sea Well".
At that time, Nina, the boatswain of the "Future", dived to the bottom of the sea and made some investigations, saying that it was not a giant well at all, but just a dark and secluded well, which could not be entered by human children, and there was a narrow deep well at the bottom, with strange honeycomb corrosion marks on the inner walls, and collapsed steel buildings around it.
In a sense, this is also a "passage" deep into the ground...... Crane glanced left and right, and then said thoughtfully:
"Do you remember what Miss Magician said? Beneath the abandoned castle of the Delares Forest, there is a door that seals the power of the Fallen. ”
"Ah, yes!" Audrey thought back to the past, "Could it be that in the early Second Age, in ancient times, the transcendent beings had some common, terrible enemies, and they came from the underground?"
"Perhaps. Crane couldn't answer in the affirmative, and then took the opportunity to nod, "It may also be like many doomsday prophecies, the danger comes from the stars." ”
"Hmm. "Audrey and Leonard don't know much about it and can't discuss it in depth.
"Let's end it for today, and when we have a preliminary understanding of the situation, we'll try to experiment with murals, and remember to keep it a secret. Crane glanced at Leonard and said, "Well, as soon as we get back, pray to Mr. 'Fool' and ask Him to bear witness to our oath not to divulge each other's secrets." ”
"Justice" Audrey did not object, and added:
"There are some things that I will 'hypnotize' myself to forget here, so as not to think about them often when I go back. ”
