The sparkling waves under the starlight, the lively fishes, Laplace's cold face, and Angor's pursed lips formed the silent water area at this moment.
The gloomy atmosphere lasted for a whole minute before Laplace slowly lowered his eyes. "I didn't catch the fish."
Laplace picked up the basket and placed it on the surface of the water. With a flip of his hand, the fish basket tilted down, and the fish inside tumbled out. After a splash, the calm surface of the water blossomed into a moon-white splash.
Angor watched as Yu Xiang swayed his tail and disappeared into the distance.
It was not until the fish had completely disappeared into the water that Laplace's expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
Laplace glanced at Angor but didn't say anything. His eyes were telling Angor that he wasn't going to leave.
Angor cleared his throat. "Actually, there's something else I need to talk to you about."
While speaking, he glanced at a pile of fishing books nearby. "You're reminding me to return the books after reading them?" Laplace seemed to have realized something. "You're telling me to return them after reading them?"
Angor shook his head. "No, I'm not."
Laplace: … Then why are you reading these books?
"Well, I heard something not long ago. It's about the truth behind the Unfathomable Cave."
The Unfathomable Cave? Laplace gave Angor a doubtful look.
If she remembered correctly, Angor only went to the heart space and did not go anywhere else in the Mirror Realm. In other words, he found the Unfathomable Cave in the material world.
The Unfathomable Cave was a secret even in the Mirror Realm. How could it be found in the material world?
Angor saw the doubt in Laplace's eyes. "I got the information from a special channel. I don't know if it's true or not, but —"
Before Angor could finish his words, he heard a low buzzing noise.
Laplace looked at Angor's chest, where the buzzing sound came from.
"Someone sent me a message," said Angor as he felt his chest trembling.
While speaking, Angor took out his mother tree communication device from his pocket. As expected, the communication device was buzzing. This was a notification from an important person.
Normally, letters would not have a hint. Only those who were marked by Angor would receive a message.
There were only two people he had marked in the woods: Nao Meicui and the Watcher.
He didn't mark anyone like Sunders, Jon, Leon, Tree Spirit, and Iron Granny. If they really wanted to find him, they had plenty of ways to do so.
It could even be said that he could directly contact Torras or Mandehila and use them to send a message.
Because of this, these people did not need any special markings.
Those who had special markings on them were the most important ones, such as Nai Meicui and the Watcher.
When he heard the buzzing sound, he took out his interconnector without hesitation.
Sender: Inspector.
Angor did not dare to ignore a message from a watcher. He quickly opened the tree branch.
The message was not long, and Angor quickly reached the end of it.
The Overseer had obviously been immersed in the trees for a period of time. The message he sent was very typical of the nature of the message. In short, it was: "I need your help. Let's talk in private."
Angor had no idea what the Watcher wanted, but he did not think it was something urgent. Maybe the Watcher was curious about some of the rules of the dream wasteland?
Angor considered for a moment and decided to put it aside for now. He needed to take care of his business here first.
Besides, if the Watcher really wanted to know more about the dream wasteland, how should he respond?
Angor put away the device and gave Laplace an apologetic look. "Excuse me. Shall we continue?"
Laplace nodded indifferently. She also knew about the mother tree connection device. Angor already told her where she could go to get it. She just didn't have the time to do so because she was busy fighting against those cunning fishes.
"About the Abyssal Cave, I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it's highly likely because the source of the information is special."
"Tell me about it then." Laplace wanted to ask about Angor's source, but she didn't think Angor's information was real, so she ignored it.
"According to what I know, the Abyssal Cave is a special dimension created by a legendary creature who mastered the 'Shadowless Domain'."
Angor summarized the core information of Shadowless Withering and explained it in a concise manner.
At first, Laplace did not take this news to heart, but when she came back to her senses and thought about Shadowless Withering again, some blurry images slowly emerged from the depths of her vast sea of memories.
In the images, she seemed to be floating in a dark prison.
Spirit signals kept pouring into her mind, and they sounded like fanatics who were chanting some kind of slogan.
But in the image, it was as if he did not feel the message transmitted by the spiritual signal at all. He continued to float in the darkness and muttered, "Is this the Cavern of the Abyss? Why is there nothing here? "
As a bystander, Laplace was filled with surprise.
She remembered this image.
To satisfy her curiosity, she once sent one of her avatars into the Abyssal Cave. The image she was looking at right now was exactly the same as when she was in the Abyssal Cave.
However, in her original memories, the Abyss Cave was pitch-black. There was nothing inside, only endless darkness and eternal silence.
Laplace was lost in the absolute darkness for a long time before she finally walked out of the Abyssal Cave.
She was sure that she didn't run into any danger, didn't sense any creatures, and didn't hear anything.
However, the strange thing was that in the scene that appeared in her memory, she was no longer walking quietly in the Abyss Cave. Instead, it was filled with chaotic spiritual information.
These messages, which she didn't notice before, kept repeating the same slogan: Shadowless, Shadowless, Shadowless.
In the end, all the slogans were focused on "Shadowless". It was as if countless voices were shouting "Shadowless! Shadowless! Shadowless! "His voice lingered all around her, yet … she was completely oblivious to this scene.
What the hell is going on? Laplace felt a little dazed. She couldn't tell if the image in her mind was real or just a figment of her imagination. The only thing she was sure of was that this was something that happened after she heard "Shadowless Withering".
Did "Shadowless Withering" trigger some kind of special memory mechanism?
"… That's all," Angor said. "Speaking of which, according to the information I received, someone once explored the Abyssal Cave but didn't find anything. Not even a lingering spirit.
"Would it, who could comprehend the Law of Darkness, be so carefree as to abandon all its remaining thoughts and wholeheartedly face death?"
"That doesn't seem to fit the pattern of a legendary creature's death.
"So, according to the information, maybe Shadowless Withering also left something behind. It's just that no one noticed it yet."
This was the end of Angor's explanation.
He only told Laplace this information to please her. It wasn't useful to him anyway, but it might be useful to Laplace.
After all, the Abyssal Cave was located in the Realm of Mirrors, and Laplace once explored it.
After hearing this, Laplace was silent for a moment before he said, "This information … Where did you get it from? From Brute Cavern's intelligence network? "
"No." Angor shook his head. "No. A special creature told me. Sorry, I can't tell you who it is."
It wasn't that Angor couldn't tell Laplace about Spotted Puppy and Minister Ginns, but he didn't think it was a good thing for Laplace.
The demon gods in the Abyss Plane all had the trait of "not revealing their real names". The stronger and more dangerous creatures in the Nightmare Realm probably had a similar trait. If Laplace knew who the creature was, she might be targeted by the Nightmare Realm, which would only bring more harm than good.
Seeing Angor's strange expression, Laplace's instinct told her not to ask further.
She thought for a moment and said, "I feel that the information you mentioned might be true. Whether it's Shadowless Withering or Shadowless Withering, it's probably true. "
"You believe me?"
Laplace nodded. "I believe you, because I suddenly remembered something just now."
Laplace didn't try to hide anything. He told her about the scene that had appeared in his mind earlier.
"Altered memories?" He didn't expect Laplace's memory to change just by telling him a story that he didn't know the truth of.
What's going on?
"I don't know why." Laplace frowned and said, "Perhaps these mental signals existed in my memories from the very beginning, but I didn't notice them before. When you told me the story of Shadowless, the details that had been neglected in my memories began to spread and resurface. "
"Maybe it's not a change. It's just a reflection of reality."
"What's the use of these hidden spirit signals then?"
Laplace shook her head. "I don't know. But you said Shadowless Withering left something behind. Maybe it's one of those things? "
"Did he hide his spirit signal in the creatures who explored the Abyss Cave and wait for the right time to come back to life?" Angor asked.
Laplace gave Angor a puzzled look. "You seem to know a lot about it."
Angor lowered his head in surprise. "I don't know much about it. I've only read something similar."
He had seen many similar cases in the hologram tablet. There were too many of such cases where a spirit parasite would devour its master and come back to life.
"?" Laplace said, "You mean the stories written in books?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. You can go to the library of Foundation City when you still have fishing books. There are many similar stories. For example, 'revivors' simulate themselves as systems or hacks. They look like they're helping the protagonists, but in fact, they're leading the protagonists to the abyss of being possessed. "
Angor told Laplace all the stories he knew. He even gave many examples, which surprised Laplace a lot.
So humans can make up legendary creatures as they please?
I need to find a chance to check them out.
Next, Angor chatted with Laplace for a while longer. When they agreed on a time to visit Rabbit Mountain, Angor left.
Laplace didn't go back to fishing. Instead, she pinched her eyebrows and fell into deep thought.
Angor mentioned that the revivors would "guide" the protagonists to a prearranged path according to their own will.
This was a subtle influence. The protagonists seemed to be making their own decisions, but in reality, they were falling into a trap step by step. Everything they did was for someone else's benefit.
Angor didn't mean to tell the story, but Laplace paid attention to it.
She suddenly thought of something. Ever since she explored the Cave of the Abyss, she had indeed undergone some changes.
She had become curious about the Deep Nether Cave, and her curiosity was getting stronger and stronger.
Even Angor could sense her curiosity.
Strangely, she didn't explore the Abyssal Cave again despite her curiosity.
After exploring the Deep Serene Cave, there was no danger inside, but she just couldn't bring herself to explore the Deep Serene Cave.
Was this a change? Or was she just being lazy?
Laplace wasn't sure.
There was one more thing. Ever since she returned from exploring the Deep Nether Cave, all the time bodies she created seemed to lean towards the "indifferent" type, including her current time body, which was also of the indifferent type.
In the past, Laplace believed that indifferent avatars were similar to their original avatars.
Now that she thought about it, she wondered if her avatar was affected as well. After all, Luigi and Little Laplace weren't the indifferent type.
"No thoughts, no thoughts," Laplace muttered in a low voice. "Is this the source of my indifference?
"Perhaps these mental messages are imperceptibly influencing me?"
If all these were true, then the information Angor brought to her this time could be considered as saving her life.
Even if her guess was wrong, she was still grateful that Angor helped her find the hidden spirit messages.
Laplace thought for a moment and decided not to go fishing again. Instead, she went offline.
She planned to have a good talk with Gleipnir. Gleipnir was the most perceptive of all her avatars. Maybe Gleipnir could find something?
