However, it was precisely because Ghost Rider was too friendly with Bubbles that Bubbles viewed Ghost Rider's perspective.
There was a filter in Bubbles' view of Ghost Rider, and it wasn't objective enough.
In Bubbles' eyes, Ghost Rider was a good and gentle person, but in other people's eyes, it might be a different answer.
"What about you?" Glepnir looked at Ai Dehua. "You keep talking about Bubbles' perspective. I want to know what your perspective is. What kind of person is Ghost Rider?"
This time, Ai Dehua was silent for a long time before he said, "I've had too little contact with Ghost Rider, so it's hard for me to comment. If I have to say, I feel that Ghost Rider gives me a little … vague. "
"Vague?" Glepnir didn't expect Ai Dehua to give such a strange answer. "Why is it vague? How is it vague? "
Ai Dehua shrugged. "I don't know. I just feel that Ghost Rider doesn't seem real to me. It's like there's a veil between us, and I can't see him clearly. "
As for why he had this thought, Ai Dehua thought about it carefully and felt that it was most likely because he hadn't seen Ghost Rider enough.
In hundreds of years, Ai Dehua had only seen him from afar a few times.
The only time he had been in close contact with him was the day Bubbles brought him to the castle. Ghost Rider had registered his character for him and asked him a few questions up close.
But even that close contact was very vague in Ai Dehua's eyes.
He had never seen Ghost Rider's true appearance.
Ghost Rider had been wearing the outer shell of a knight's armor and helmet the entire time. When his voice came out of the helmet, it sounded like a muffled echo.
It didn't seem real.
It was like the sound of a phonograph, filled with an ancient and cold inorganic sound.
In any case, in Ai Dehua's own memories, he would always secretly wonder: Was there really a soul under that exquisite knight armor?
Could the so-called Ghost Rider just be a phonograph?
Or was it just a puppet whose strings had been manipulated?
Was there actually no Ghost Rider at all, and everything was just their imagination? Or was Ghost Rider actually the mastermind behind a secret place?
"However, this is probably just because I haven't had much contact with Ghost Rider, so it's a sense of isolation." Ai Dehua said, "Bubbles, on the other hand, has been in contact with Ghost Rider for a long time. I think that even though Bubbles has a filter for Ghost Rider, her answer might be more like a normal person's perspective."
"That's why I chose to talk about Bubble's perspective first."
Gleipnir nodded slightly. She probably … understood.
The reason why Ai Dehua found Ghost Rider vague was that he had never seen "it" with his own eyes. The so-called knight's armor seemed fake to him.
If he could see the essence of Ghost Rider, even if it was just an ethereal soul, he might not find it blurry.
To put it bluntly, this was probably one of Ai Dehua's … strictness as an adept.
Gleipnir thought for a moment and continued, "What about the others? Apart from you and Bubbles, what do the others think of Ghost Rider? "
"The others …" Ai Dehua muttered in a low voice, "I don't know about that. After all, we're all in our roles. Apart from being able to criticize our master when we talk to ourselves, we have to follow the logic of our roles at all times. "
Therefore, with Ai Dehua's identity and the other characters' identities, it was impossible for them to get together and openly discuss the master of the secret place. It wasn't polite and didn't fit their characters.
"Although we haven't talked about Ghost Rider, I can roughly guess from their eyes that they are afraid and loathe it."
Ai Dehua could understand why they loathed Ghost Rider. This was because Ghost Rider didn't seem to like the Spirit Conversion Ritual, and would even destroy the Spirit Conversion Ritual that other people had worked so hard to obtain. This also led to their loathing of Ghost Rider.
But … Ai Dehua didn't quite understand fear.
"In any case, I'm not too afraid of Ghost Rider," Ai Dehua said, making a guess. At this point, Edward made a small guess. "Perhaps it's because I'm close to Bubble, so Ghost Rider doesn't care much about me? It hasn't done anything bad to me, either. "
In summary, it was still the same thing: It was hard to develop any other emotions because of the lack of experience.
After listening to Ai Dehua's story, Glepnir felt like he was listening to a bunch of nonsense. He was planning to build up an image of Ghost Rider from Ai Dehua's story so that it would be easier to interact with him later.
However, after listening to Glepnir's story, the image of Ghost Rider became even more vague and mysterious.
Glepnir didn't want to complain in front of Ai Dehua, so he only spoke a few words in the Spirit Bond.
Luigi also expressed his sympathy.
Laplace was as cold as usual and didn't say anything.
Steward Fan chimed in, but he didn't say much.
"But I think Ai Dehua did give us a very important clue."
"Huh?" Glepnir looked at Angor.
Angor said, "Ai Dehua always emphasized that he has to play his role in Knight's Castle and act according to his character setting. But after putting aside this superficial appearance and looking deeper, Ai Dehua actually also wants to live in the castle. "
"Living in the castle means that he has to interact with all kinds of things."
Angor was a young master of a noble family, so he naturally assumed the role of the owner of the castle.
As the owner of the castle, even if he had a high status, he still needed to interact with people in all aspects of his life.
Otherwise, why would he have a bunch of servants?
Because the owner couldn't do many things himself and needed servants to do them for him.
From Ai Dehua's perspective, he had stayed in the castle for hundreds of years, but he only saw the owner of the castle up close once. Other times, he saw the owner from afar less than ten times.
That was too few.
It didn't seem like Ghost Rider had a normal life in the castle.
Angor said, "A character who doesn't have a normal life. Something's wrong with him appearing in the castle."
Glepnir considered for a moment. "Ghost Rider … he doesn't show up often. That's not right. But it's not an important clue, is it? "
Angor didn't answer. "What do you think is the reason for this?"
Gleipnir thought about it and had some guesses in his heart.
Angor didn't wait for Glepnir's answer. "From my perspective, Ghost Rider rarely shows up. Maybe … he's not in the castle."
Hearing this answer, the people in the Spirit Bond were slightly moved. They all had their own thoughts.
Angor continued, "We can think of Knight's Castle as a fairyland, and the owner of the castle, Ghost Rider, is a character played by a player.
"He doesn't show up often because the player controlling Ghost Rider isn't online."
Angor's analogy was bold, and he didn't have much evidence to support it. But somehow, Glepnir thought it made sense.
Using the Dream Crystal as an example, Ghost Rider was often not online. It was also because of this that Edward had not seen him for decades.
Glepnir: "According to what you said, if he really isn't online all year round, why does he respond every time Bubbles goes to him?"
"Just because he's not online doesn't mean he doesn't know if someone is looking for him. Perhaps he set up a backend trigger for his character. As long as someone enters his room, or enters the 'reaction' range of the Ghost Rider character, it will alert him. "
It was just like when Adepts were doing research. Although they were focused on their research, they would still set up some alarms outside the laboratory to avoid missing out on important events. When there was an important event, an outsider could contact the Magus who was doing the experiment by triggering these pre-arranged arrangements.
Similarly, Ghost Rider might have set up a device for his character so that he would know when someone triggered it and come online in time.
Glepnir said, "So, you think that Ghost Rider is actually being manipulated by someone. But this person might not be in Knight's Castle. "
Angor nodded. "Yes. Maybe Ghost Rider's real body is wandering around the Yi World, or …"
"… not in the Yi World at all. He's using something like a mirror window to control Ghost Rider from outside the Yi World."
Both of Angor's guesses made Glepnir feel the same way he did before. They were both ridiculous, but somehow reasonable.
Looking at it this way, the clue that Ai Dehua gave seemed to be quite important. As he analyzed and analyzed, he analyzed to the outside of the instrument world …
However, Glepnir wasn't the type to let his emotions get the better of him.
Angor's theory was reasonable, but he didn't have any evidence to support it. It was more of a conjecture and imagination.
Even if it was true, it wouldn't help Glepnir's plan to get in touch with Ghost Rider later.
"I'll think about it myself," Glepnir said through the Spirit Bond, "Oh right, do you have anything to ask Ai Dehua? If not, we should discuss how to deal with him in the future. "
Luigi didn't answer.
Laplace and Steward Fan didn't say anything.
"I'm still curious about Knight's Castle. Let me ask him something."
He paused for a moment and looked at Ai Dehua in front of him.
"What do you think about Knight's Castle?"
"Huh?" Ai Dehua was surprised.
"What do you think Knight's Castle looks like in your eyes? Do you have any questions or … guesses about why you're required to role-play in Knight's Castle? "
Angor was curious about why Knight's Castle needed role-playing. Was there some unknown underlying logic in this, or was it simply the creator's bad taste?
Since Angor was only an onlooker, his comments were objective but not realistic enough. He really wanted to know how Ai Dehua, who used to be a part of the game, thought about this grand show that had been going on for hundreds of years.
Ai Dehua didn't respond to Angor's question this time. Perhaps he needed to think or prepare his answer.
Five minutes later, Ai Dehua frowned and slowly spoke, "Let me tell you my opinion about Knight's Castle first."
"The Knight's Castle seems very strange to me. Although it looks like a normal space, there are always some strange things here."
"Extra things?"
Edward nodded. "It's those sacrificial items used for rituals. It's like they appeared out of thin air without any warning. They just showed up in Knight's Castle or the surrounding forest. "
Ritual offerings appeared out of thin air?
Everyone was puzzled. They only paid attention to the people inside Knight's Castle and didn't think about the ritual offerings. But now that they thought about it, Siluda died in Knight's Castle because of the ritual offerings.
Perhaps the ritual offerings were one of the bright lines of Knight's Castle.
"Did it really appear out of thin air?" It was Glepnir who spoke. She had been thinking about Ghost Rider, but Ai Dehua's answer made her too curious, so she couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yes. They appeared out of thin air. Moreover, these sacrificial items seem to be able to recognize people. They take on different forms in different hands. "
Gleipnir: "???"
Ai Dehua looked at Angor. "Mister Angor, didn't you ask me what I think about role-playing? My opinion is that role-playing might have something to do with these strange offerings. "
"That's because the more we play our roles, the more sacrifices will appear around us. Also, the style of the offerings is closely related to our character.
"For example, I often do makeup for Bubble, and I also study all kinds of wigs and dyes in private. They all fit my character. Because of this, at least ten offerings were born in my room, including combs, mirrors, hair strands, scissors, and so on. "
Ai Dehua wasn't the only one. So was Bubble.
Bubble was quite successful at playing the role of a young lady. After all, as a young lady, everything she did was considered normal. Even sitting, lying, and walking were considered part of Bubble's role-playing.
Because of that, Bubble had more sacrificial offerings. In its room, there were at least 30 sacrificial offerings.
Ai Dehua even witnessed the birth of one of Bubble's offerings.
When he was styling Bubble, a bright red hair clip suddenly appeared on Bubble's wig.
The hair clip was a type of offering.
However, Bubble didn't pay much attention to offerings. Everyone had different offerings, and the style of the offering depended on their character.
Since Bubble's character was a "young lady", she had a lot of female offerings.
This was a great humiliation for Bubbles, who had been constantly talking about "males".
So, Bubble simply locked all her offerings in a cabinet. Out of sight, out of mind.
