Not long after Angor and Luigi left the Haunted House, they saw Barregon flying into the building.
Earlier, Barregon used a cloak to cover its entire body, leaving only its triangular head exposed. But now, Barregon abandoned the cloak and revealed its entire body.
Barregon already looked like a miniature creature with the cloak on. Without the cloak, Barregon looked even smaller.
Its body looked like a roly-poly. Its neck was thin, but it became rounder as it went down. Its skin was light yellow, and Angor could faintly see scales shining on it.
It had a tail that was much bigger than its body. Its tail was translucent and yellow, and its tail was curled upwards … It was a bit like a kitten that unconsciously used its tail to protect its belly when it was being held by the back of its neck.
It had a pair of claws, or rather, two hands. Compared to its body, its hands were very thin. However, its hands were a little like elastic yellow. They could be stretched very far, and each of its hands had six slender white fingers. It could perform very delicate operations.
If Barregon's tail was not curled upward, it could reach two meters in length. But if it was curled upward, it would only reach less than one meter, not counting the length of its tail.
It was … a real mini dragon.
Seeing Barregon's true form, Luigi walked up to it with a smile and pulled on Barregon's gelatinous tail. Judging from the lump of flesh, the tail felt really good.
Barregon gave Luigi an annoyed glance. "Touch me again and I'll close the door, activate the barrier, and lock you up for a week!"
Barregon's threat sounded weak no matter how one looked at it. And it came from its master, which was not threatening at all. In the past, Luigi would not have cared at all. But today, he needed to go to the party to look for music scores and find Uriel for grading. Barregon's threat hit him right in his weak spot.
Besides, Barregon was as strong as an adult hydra despite its tiny size. Besides, it had been researching for a long time. It could really keep Luigi confined in the lab.
Unless Laplace came here himself, no one would be able to save him.
With that in mind, Luigi obediently withdrew his hand.
Barregon lifted its head proudly and took back the Haunted House. "The Haunted House is closed. If you have nothing else to do, leave now."
After saying this, Barregon turned and left.
But Luigi stopped him. "Oh, by the way, Angor found something interesting in the Haunted House. Do you want to hear about it? I think it's quite interesting."
Barbagon stopped and looked at Angor and Luigi with a doubtful look.
He had only entered a Haunted House once, and he had found something 'interesting'? It had owned the Haunted House for several hundred years already, so why hadn't it noticed anything?
Still, since Luigi was the one who asked, Barregon patiently asked, "What's so interesting?"
In the past, Luigi would have lost his appetite. But now, he didn't have much time to waste, so he quickly explained what Angor found.
At first, Barregon did not pay much attention to it, but when it heard that 'in Extraordinary studies, any seemingly meaningless but irremovable redundant link is most likely related to rituals', it fell into deep thought.
The first time Barregon visited a Haunted House, he already had to "find a safe house". At that time, he thought it was just a routine and did not think too much about it.
Since First Impression was fixed, Barregon did not pay much attention to the "safe house" step every time he visited the Haunted House.
Besides, it was easy to find a safe house. It only took him one or two minutes to find it. Sometimes, he could see a safe house two or three meters away as soon as he entered the Haunted House.
Since First Impression and safe house were so easy to find, Barregon never doubted this step.
But after hearing Luigi's explanation, Barregon realized that the "safe house" step was a bit redundant.
It seemed that this step was only meant to simulate Xiao Ke's search for a safe house, and it had no other purpose. However, if they really wanted to recreate the scene of Xiao Ke searching for the safe house, it should have shown that it was very difficult for him to find the safe house and that there were many obstacles, not like now, where they could see the safe house as soon as they entered the Haunted House.
Now that Barregon thought about it, he realized that this step was really strange.
But was it really a part of the ritual like Angor thought?
For now, Barregon couldn't trust the Dah tree, but he did think that Angor's discovery was worth investigating.
Barregon looked at Angor. "Your discovery is quite interesting. In fact, based on what you've said, Xiao Ke's fall into the Haunted House might have been a trap, a conspiracy, and not 'accidentally stumbling into a Haunted House' like his diary said. "
How could an ordinary person accidentally fall into the Ghost Realm in the Mirror?
It should be noted that if a mirror creature wanted to enter the Ghost's Domain from the Mirror Domain, it would have to go through many complicated steps and face many dangers. Didn't the Mirror Ghosts in the Town of Cursed Women want to return to the Haunted House? Of course they did, but they were not strong enough to do so. It was obvious that the Haunted House had a very high requirement to enter.
It was very difficult for an ordinary person to "accidentally fall in". However, if it was a powerful person in the Ghost's Domain, with a deliberate arrangement, especially using ritualistic methods to summon people from the outside world, there was a high possibility that humans could enter the Ghost's Domain.
"I'll take note of it. I'll look into it." Barregon thanked Angor in a serious manner.
This was an important matter for Barregon. After all, the Haunted House was a treasure that Barregon valued greatly.
Most of his research in Pippi Castle was related to the Haunted House.
Even Sage Pika would occasionally use the Haunted House to speed up his research.
The Haunted House was important to Barregon, at least.
If there was an unknown ritual inside the Haunted House, whether it was good or bad, Barregon would need to solve it immediately.
Of course, Barregon was grateful that Angor did not hesitate to tell Barregon about it.
Angor didn't really mind since the Haunted House didn't have much to do with him. But seeing how serious Barregon was, he gave a suggestion. "If it's really part of a ritual, you just need to keep looking for redundant steps in the Haunted House and follow them. Maybe you'll find Xiao Ke."
Barregon's eyes lit up and thanked Angor again.
"I'll try my best to solve the puzzles in the Haunted House. But I don't know much about rituals. If I find something I don't understand, can I ask Angor for help?" Barregon asked in a serious tone.
"I don't know much about rituals either …" Barregon's expression darkened a little, but he quickly regained his composure because Angor continued, "But I know someone who does. If you have any questions, I can ask them for you."
Barbaregon hurriedly said, "Then how can I find you? Through Luigi? "
Angor glanced at Luigi, who quickly understood. "It's not that troublesome. You can find Angor and me in Pippi Castle."
Barregon: "???"
Luigi didn't immediately explain. Instead, he took out a large sack and sat on the ground in front of Barregon. He began to rummage through the contents of the sack.
Barbagon leaned over to take a look. He found that the cloth bag was filled with all kinds of strange items, most of which were … ornaments.
Earrings, necklaces, headbands, rings, pocket watches, monocles, and so on.
They were all exquisitely made, but the materials used were not good enough. They didn't give off any supernatural energy fluctuations. It felt like they were made from beginner materials for practice.
"What are these?" Barregon asked curiously.
"You'll see." Luigi didn't give an answer. Instead, he kept looking for the most "suitable" one for Barregon.
These were all Dream Crystals' loggers, which were meant to be displayed during the gathering. Angor already had some on him, but he gave most of them to Luigi and Glaipnir since they were the main organizers of the event.
After some rummaging, Luigi finally found something "good" at the bottom of the sack.
It was Bobo Pacifier.
It was also a logger, a "cub series" custom-made for Angor.
There were many races in the Mirror Realm that were born as Transcendents. Although not all races were like the Hundred Dragon Divine Kingdom who forcefully restricted the movements of their young, there were still many races that did not wish to see their young roaming about in order to protect them.
To prevent the cub from running around, but also to prevent the cub from getting sick, wasn't the Dream Crystal supposed to come in handy?
If there was a demand, there would be a market for them.
Therefore, Angor took the time to customize the "cub series".
Pacifiers, animal ears, animal tails, aprons, and even doll costumes … Everything was available in different shapes.
However, Bobo Pacifier was quite unique among the "cub series". It looked like a baby with a mouth that wanted to be kissed.
The baby bit the pacifier as if it was asking for a kiss.
Luigi deliberately chose this pacifier as a login device for Barregon. His intentions were clear.
Taking advantage of the fact that Barbaregon didn't know much about the log-in device, Luigi put away the cloth bag with a smile and handed the Bobo Pacifier to Barbaregon. "This is the tool that allows you to contact us anytime, anywhere."
Barregon looked at the pacifier in his hand and felt that it was strange and … perverted.
However, Luigi's words were exactly what Barregon wanted to hear. Barregon wanted to throw the "kiss-like" item away, but he held himself back.
"How do I use it?"
Luigi said, "After you bite it, there will be an illusion showing how to use it and what you can do with it … Hey, hey, hey, don't bite it now. That illusion is a one-time use. After we leave, you can bite it when you're free. I don't have time to waste on you. "
Of course, the one-use illusion was set up by Angor as a simple "guide" for the product.
Barregon: "Was that what was in your pouch just now? Do you have anything else — "
"No, no," Luigi said. "They all have the same function, but they already have owners. We're going to the gathering of many races this time to sell it. Giving you one now is already giving face to our friends. Don't be so tactless. "
"You're going to the gathering to sell your product? But I didn't see it in the brochure. "Barregon was confused.
There had been many gatherings held by the various races, so naturally, there were certain rules. In order to attract more people and make it easier for them to buy their products, each race would be given a brochure before the gathering.
The brochure contained the products registered by each race. Even if one didn't attend the gathering, he or she could roughly see the products.
Of course, some races would keep their products in suspense and only display them at the gathering. For example, the Peluxiu Clan was very confident in their products. They didn't even need to show their products in the brochure to attract people.
However, such products would require an invitation letter, and the brochure would also indicate the product.
Barregon didn't plan to attend the gathering, but he did see the brochure from Sage Pika. He didn't see anything about the "registration device".
"Because we didn't have time to register." Luigi shrugged.
Barregon frowned. "Then how are you going to show it?"
"What do you think? Even my clone is going. Why can't we show it on stage? "
Barregon didn't know what to say.
Barregon understood now. This was what they meant by "strength". They had to see it even if they didn't want to!
"Fine. As long as you're happy. But can't you change it? It's too weird. What's in your pouch — "
"Don't even think about my pouch. If you really want to change it, come to the gathering. You can buy our products yourself. You can have whatever you want. Otherwise, you'll have to use this. "
Barregon was sure Luigi had Barregon under control. Barregon didn't plan to attend the gathering anyway. He looked at Luigi's smug expression and gritted his teeth.
He was sure that Luigi chose this nipple-shaped registration device just to make fun of him!
Barregon was furious, but he didn't know what to do.
Whatever.
Fine. I'll only use it to contact Angor. I won't use it too many times. I'll use it in the secret room. No one will see it.
Barregon tried to convince himself.
Still, Barregon couldn't help but give Luigi an evil look.
But Luigi seemed to have gotten used to it already. "The gathering is about to begin. We'll leave now, or we won't make it in time."
Barregon didn't stop Luigi from leaving despite his anger. He only watched them leave the beehive.
