"Why … why did you come here?"
The parrot knew how Angor and the others came here, but it didn't mention why they were looking for him.
There must be a reason for them to come here.
"Because someone is imitating Luigi?" The parrot asked in a small voice.
"Someone imitating Luigi is one of the reasons why we're here. But we went to look for you for another reason. "
"What is it?"
Before Angor could answer, a cold voice came from not far away. "Are you talking to someone?"
The parrot whipped its head around and saw that Mirror Ghost had come out from behind the curtain.
The parrot looked at himself inside the glass ball.
Looking at the Mirror Ghost from the perspective of Mi Ni in the glass ball, it was like the difference between a giant and a grain of sand. That kind of oppressive feeling made the parrot extremely nervous.
Of course, the parrot was also worried that Angor and Laplace would be captured by Mirror Ghost as well.
Although he had mocked the Lord of Blood earlier, as someone who had dealt with the mirror monster, he knew how powerful the Lord of Blood was.
Mirror Ghost might not be strong, but he had a strange and unusual ability.
It was impossible to guard against such an ability because it came from the Gloomy Mirror Domain.
"When did you come out?" The parrot adjusted his position and tried to block Angor's view. He knew it wouldn't work, but he didn't mean it.
Mirror Ghost gave the parrot a thoughtful look. "When you started talking to yourself."
Talking to myself?
What do you mean by talking to myself? Didn't I talk to Angor and Laplace all the time? Did he not see Angor and Laplace?
The parrot was going to ask Angor about it.
But in the end, he forcefully stopped himself. If Mirror Ghost really couldn't see Angor and Laplace, then Parrot's action would be a warning to Mirror Ghost.
Instead of looking back, Parrot sat down on the ground with his legs crossed.
The parrot knew that Angor was right behind him. If Mirror Ghost didn't react, then he really couldn't see Angor.
The parrot observed Mirror Ghost carefully. Mirror Ghost's eyes were fixed on the parrot, not moving at all.
The parrot quickly realized that the mirror monster couldn't see them.
Although the parrot didn't know the reason, it still heaved a deep sigh of relief in its heart. He was worried that Angor and Laplace would get into trouble because of him.
"I'm talking to myself?" The parrot sneered. "No, how could I possibly be talking to myself? Of course, I'm talking to others, discussing how to kill you. "
The parrot was not trying to expose Laplace or Angor. It was just that the parrot knew how to deal with someone as paranoid as Mirror Ghost. If the parrot tried to go against Mirror Ghost's guesses, Mirror Ghost would quickly find a topic to argue with and find a flaw in the argument. But if the parrot tried to follow Mirror Ghost's guesses, Mirror Ghost would have a deeper idea, or "fill in the blanks" for himself.
When the Mirror Spirit overloaded its imagination, the abnormal behavior of the parrot would also be rationalized by the Mirror Spirit.
Just as the parrot had thought, the mirror ghost already had a plan in mind.
He didn't think that Parrot could communicate with outsiders, but there had to be a reason for Parrot's strange behavior. He couldn't just dismiss it as "crazy".
Therefore, he used words to test the parrot. He was waiting for the parrot to object, so that he could climb up the pole and look for clues in the short dispute.
But now, Parrot admitted that it was talking to its companions, and even wanted to kill him.
Mirror Ghost began to doubt himself.
He was very confident in his ability. He didn't think that anyone could bypass him and talk to Parrot inside the glass sphere.
Perhaps the parrot's seemingly "conversing" behavior was, in fact, a performance to attract his attention.
As for why the parrot wanted to attract his attention, the mirror monster found a "reasonable" reason: it wanted to buy time.
Parrot knew that he was preparing for the ritual, so it was better to buy some time.
With that in mind, Mirror Ghost no longer cared about Parrot's pretentious act.
"Just stay inside and enjoy the last bit of peace I left for you. Don't you want that?" Mirror Ghost gave Parrot a meaningful look. "Don't try anything funny. I'll keep an eye on you."
"The Lord of Blood's sight is my sight. No matter what you do, I will see it clearly. Everything is futile. "
After saying that, the mirror ghost ignored the parrot and went back behind the curtain.
Parrot waited until Mirror Ghost was gone before he turned around again.
He didn't look at Angor right away. Instead, he muttered to himself, "What should I do now?"
It was as if Parrot was feeling sad about his future.
But Angor knew that Parrot was talking to them.
"That fake Luigi can't see us or hear our conversation, so we're in a special state right now. But your actions are being monitored by him. "
Laplace chimed in, "He's being monitored by the blood web outside."
Blood web?
Angor looked at the trembling spider web outside the glass orb. Wasn't that supposed to be the power of the Lord of Blood? What's a blood web? Is it some kind of living creature? Or is it some kind of surveillance spell like Wizard Eye?
Angor didn't know what a blood web was, but he knew Laplace was telling the truth.
This was because when the fake Luigi left, he had also said, "The sight of the Blood Dominator is my sight." In fact, this sentence was exactly the same as what Laplace had said.
It was difficult for them to talk to Parrot while being monitored by the "blood web".
Both Angor and the parrot were wondering what to do. Angor himself was in a dilemma.
He had no choice but to look at Laplace.
He was just a wisp of consciousness, and there was nothing he could do.
Laplace didn't say anything. He slowly approached Parrot and said, "I can take you into my consciousness space. But there's no medium here, so I can only use my consciousness to pull you in. This will cause a certain amount of damage to your mind. After a period of time, you may fall into a state of mental depression. "
Parrot didn't know what "consciousness space" was, but he assumed that this was why Angor and Laplace weren't noticed by Mirror Ghost.
Parrot considered and nodded.
If it was just depression, it wouldn't affect Parrot much.
Among all the mental injuries, mental exhaustion could not be any more minor. Time was enough to heal Parrot's mind. He didn't need to do anything.
After getting the parrot's consent, Laplace manipulated the floating light spots around him and dragged the parrot's consciousness into the Void of Consciousness, which was full of light spots.
Meanwhile, Parrot's body was still sitting with its head lowered, as if it was sleeping.
…
"That's a parrot?" Angor muttered as he looked at the floating speck of light in his mind.
The floating light spots thought Angor was talking to him. "I'm Parrot. Huh? You can communicate with your consciousness here? That's great. Mirror Ghost won't be able to hear us even if it's monitoring us. "
The voice transmitted by the parrot sounded very excited.
What he didn't know was that Angor wasn't concerned about Parrot's ability to talk. Instead, he was concerned about Parrot's form.
"That's the standard form of consciousness space," Laplace said.
Both Angor and Laplace looked "human", but Laplace only put on a layer of "skin" for them.
Laplace considered for a moment. Since it didn't take much effort, he waved his hand and covered Parrot's body with a layer of skin as well.
It was at this moment that the parrot realized that it had become a dot of light.
However, the light spots didn't last for long before they condensed and returned to their "human form".
Parrot scratched the back of its head. It didn't know what happened, but it didn't want to waste time by asking too many questions.
Mirror Ghost was preparing for the ritual, so Parrot didn't have much time to explain.
However, as soon as the parrot had this thought, Laplace sensed something and turned to the parrot. "This is the Void of Consciousness. Communicating with one's consciousness won't take too long …"
Laplace wanted to explain the reason, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
"You can think of it as the flow of time here is very slow compared to the outside world. So slow that it's almost like time has stopped."
This meant that Parrot could stay here for a long time without any problems.
Laplace's words made Parrot even more confused. Still, Parrot knew that it didn't need to ask for an answer. It only needed to know the result.
Parrot nodded. "I think so."
"You mentioned a 'mirror ghost' just now. Is that 'fake Luigi' a mirror ghost?" Angor quickly asked after making sure the parrot's consciousness had calmed down.
Parrot glanced at Angor and nodded. "Yes. He's not Luigi. It's a mirror ghost in disguise."
Parrot considered and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, he's a Luminous Phantom Spirit."
A Luminous Phantom Spirit was a type of Mirror Ghost. However, it wasn't a pure form of energy. Instead, it was a "generalized" form of energy.
To put it simply, a generalized form of energy wasn't completely immune to physical attacks, while a pure form of energy was almost immune to physical attacks.
As a Mirror Ghost, Luminous Phantom Spirit's talent was "Illusion", which allowed it to create all kinds of illusions by changing between light and shadow.
It could also "impersonate" itself as someone else.
This was why Luminous Phantom Spirit could take the form of "Luigi".
That was all Angor knew about Luminous Phantom Spirits. However, this wasn't something Angor already knew. Laplace just explained it to him.
According to Laplace, she already suspected that the fake Luigi was a Luminous Phantom Spirit. After all, Angor could see that the fake Luigi was made of pure energy.
That was rare in the Mirror Domain.
However, Laplace didn't have any solid evidence to prove that the fake Luigi was a Luminous Phantom Spirit.
Parrot was the one who provided the answer.
"Why did he want to capture you?" Angor looked at Parrot. "Is he your enemy?"
Parrot nodded. "Sort of."
"You have so many enemies? Not just Bloodhunter, but also the mirror ghost? " Angor was surprised. He knew that Parrot hated Bloodhunter, but what kind of grudge did Bloodhunter have against a mirror ghost? Did Parrot go into the Mirror Domain?
Parrot looked at Angor in surprise. "How do you know about Bloodhunter?"
Angor didn't hide anything and told Parrot about Rice God's pursuit.
"The reason we came to find you is to pass you this information. But when we arrived, we found out that you were tricked by someone who pretended to be Luigi. " Angor clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Luigi is so easy to recognize, and he's such a chatterbox."
Parrot lowered its head in embarrassment. It was too excited to pay attention to Luigi's real identity.
But then again, the parrot was curious as well. Where did Angor get the information about Bloodhunter from?
"Rice God asked someone from Omniscient House to come after you, and we happen to have some connections with Omniscient House."
Parrot was familiar with Omniscient House, but it was also curious. Considering Omniscient House's reputation, was it really possible to get information from them through connections? What kind of connections did they have?
However, Parrot didn't ask these questions. He knew that Angor was already being kind enough to give such an explanation. Asking further would be tantamount to invading someone's privacy.
Besides, they were still in Angor's "consciousness space". It wasn't wise to pry into someone's privacy.
Parrot was also moved by Angor and Laplace's intentions. They only met once, after all, and Laplace's kindness was already beyond the scope of the "contract".
"Save your words. Time flows slowly in the consciousness space, but it doesn't mean it doesn't flow at all. Tell me about your situation."
"What's with that mirror monster? How did he know about Luigi and trick you by pretending to be Luigi? "
Angor and Laplace came here mainly because the monster imitated Luigi's image.
That was what Angor was most concerned about.
How did the mirror monster know about Luigi's existence? And how did he know that he could trick Parrot into trusting him?
"Did he use some kind of mind-reading spell? Or did he steal your thoughts?"
The parrot looked a little embarrassed by Angor's "grand" assumption. After all, he had spoken to the mirror ghost before and knew why it was imitating Luigi.
"It's all because I wasn't careful enough …"
