"In other words, this Ghost Nightmare Stone has always been under your control?" Napoli asked.
The mirror-wielding demoness nodded.
Napoli's eyes flashed with doubt. "Then why did it have to change at this time? Even you were affected? "
In a sense, the mirror-wielding demoness was the master of the Ghost Nightmare Stone. But now, the master of the Ghost Nightmare Stone could not control it? Which part of this went wrong?
"I had just finished refining a batch of embryos. I absorbed the aura of the Ghost Nightmare Stone daily to recover my energy."
"But after absorbing a little, I felt like my mind was covered by a fog."
Once her mind felt foggy and stagnant, the mirror-wielding demoness knew that she was about to lose her mind.
"I immediately stopped absorbing the aura of the Ghost Nightmare Stone and went to the cooling pool to wait for my mind to recover …"
"Then, when I woke up again, it was just now."
In other words, the "change" of the Ghost Nightmare Stone happened when the mirror-wielding demoness lost her mind. She did not know what happened during this process.
"When you are in a state of insanity, will you activate the Ghost Nightmare Stone?" Napoli asked. He wondered if the mirror-wielding demoness in a state of insanity had done something to the Ghost Nightmare Stone.
The mirror-wielding demoness shook her head. "The aura of the Ghost Nightmare Stone is similar to the power of inertia. If you want to absorb the aura, you need a certain amount of logic. "
"And when I lose my mind, I am in a state of insanity. It is impossible for me to do anything to the Ghost Nightmare Stone."
To make an analogy, if you want to absorb the aura of the Ghost Nightmare Stone, you need to do a logical calculation, such as the question "1 + 1 = 2". Although this question was simple, it was not something that the mirror-wielding demoness could answer.
"So you think that the Ghost Nightmare Stone's outburst has nothing to do with your insanity?" Napoli stared at the mirror-wielding demoness.
The mirror-wielding demoness pondered for a moment and nodded. "Yes."
Napoli narrowed his eyes. "Since it was not 'you', then the Ghost Nightmare Stone's change, is it its own problem?"
The mirror-wielding demoness lowered her eyebrows. "… I don't know."
Napoli looked deeply at the mirror-wielding demoness. He … actually believed her in his heart. But the probability of the Nightmare Ghost Stone mutating on its own when no one was activating it was too small.
It was as if someone had told you that you had slept on a bed sheet for decades, or sat on a sofa for decades, and that you had developed your own will.
It was really unreliable.
"So, did anything happen to your Ghost Nightmare Stone recently?" Angor asked after a moment of consideration. Or have you come into contact with anyone else recently? "
The lady with the mirror looked at Angor with uncertain eyes. He seemed to be following Angor's thoughts and lost himself in his memories.
After a while, the red lips in the mirror said hesitantly, "In my memory when I was awake, recently, there was no abnormality with the Dark Ghost Stone."
"During this period of time, the only people I came into contact with were Mister Napoli and the Crimson Lamp Demon Empress."
Had he only met two people? Angor frowned.
If it was Poe, he would have to rule it out.
As for the Crimson Lamp Demon Empress … Angor didn't know much about her, but he did know that she was the leader of the Town of Ghouls and the one who kept the town running.
Before this, Blood Calamity didn't want to talk to them. It was the Crimson Lamp Demon Empress who went to talk to Blood Calamity and established a communication channel between the Bright Sun Mirror Domain and the Gloom Mirror Domain.
From her standpoint, it wasn't likely that she would do such a thing.
Angor considered and asked again, "Then, have you come into contact with anything unusual recently? Or done anything unusual?"
If it had nothing to do with people, did it have something to do with something? Or did it have something to do with the mirror-wielding demoness' behavior?
"I've been working on alchemy recently, and I've only been working on fixed materials."
"As for the only unusual thing I did recently … I accepted Napoli's invitation and came to the Bubble Workshop to craft an artifact embryo."
It was unusual for the lady with the mirror to leave the protection of the Crimson Lamp Demon Empress and stay in a crowded place for a long time.
However, she also knew that all living things were equal in the Apocalypse. The mirror monster wouldn't be treated well because of this. It would also turn into ashes. Therefore, she accepted Napoli's invitation to craft an artifact embryo to save herself.
Just like Napoli, Angor felt a little helpless after hearing the answer.
His answer was completely airtight and there were no flaws in it at all.
Of course, Angor trusted the lady's words. His Super Perception allowed him to see the lady's emotions clearly.
Judging from the current clues, the lady with the mirror really didn't know why the Ghost Nightmare Stone changed.
Time passed, but the deadlock didn't end.
The silence was like a gust of wind that surrounded them and spread to the entire surface of the workshop.
At this moment, there was a deathly silence on the surface of the workshop. Everyone could hear each other's breathing.
As the deadlock continued, Laplace suddenly spoke up, "Let's talk about the Ghost Nightmare Stone. Can you tell me how you got the Ghost Nightmare Stone? Also, do you know anything about it? "
The mirror-wielding demoness was also very confused about the strange changes in the Ghost Nightmare Stone. Therefore, when faced with Laplace's question, she seriously considered and answered.
"I found the Ghost Nightmare Stone in the Gloom Mirror Domain.
"At that time, I accidentally barged into a forest filled with mirrors …"
"Accidentally?" Laplace asked.
The lady with the mirror nodded. "Yes. When I was in the Gloom Mirror Domain, I didn't stay awake for as long as half an hour to an hour.
Most of the time, I was in control when I lost my mind. Every time I woke up, I wasn't in the same place. "
As a result, the mirror-wielding demoness would often find herself in strange places when she woke up.
She didn't even know how she ended up in those places.
"Also, even when I was awake, I didn't have much sense of logic." "My knowledge, my common sense, and my understanding of the world were all taught to me by Scarlet Lamp Empress after I came to the White Sun Mirror Domain."
In other words, the mirror-wielding demoness in the Gloomy Mirror Domain had never thought of restricting her actions when she lost her mind. She even found it fun to wake up in different places every day.
"One day, when I woke up, I found myself in the Mirror Forest."
Therefore, it wasn't really a mistake to barge in. She had barged into the Mirror Forest when she had lost her mind.
"The Mirror Forest stood in the darkness, but there seemed to be an invisible boundary between the top and bottom. I couldn't go up or down to leave the forest.
"At that time, I knew that I had entered a place with laws."
This was because in the free and unrestrained Ghost's Domain, only the restrictions of the rules would cause a situation where one could not go anywhere.
"I didn't have the concept of being 'alive', so I didn't realize I was trapped in a place with laws. I've been in similar situations all the time.
But when I 'fell asleep' and lost my mind, I left on my own accord. "
"You can leave after losing your mind?"
He didn't understand the logic behind this. If she was trapped in a place with laws, shouldn't she be the one to break the laws and find an exit? Why did she leave after losing her mind?
The mirror-holding demoness said, "In the Dark Mirror Domain, most of the places with rules will 'spare' the ignorant Mirror Ghosts."
This sort of 'leniency' didn't mean that the Land of Laws had a consciousness and would let go of the Muddy Nightmare Mirror Ghost.
It was just that the ghosts in the Ghost's Domain were more suitable for the chaotic Ghost's Domain. Places with laws would only trap intelligent creatures, while the ghosts who lost their minds would be ignored.
In fact, many of the ghosts who lost their minds would not trigger the corresponding restrictions even if they entered a place with laws.
Of course, this was only one of the cases.
There were also many places with laws that would work on ghosts.
However, ghosts who lost their minds still had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They would avoid such places on their own accord.
The places with laws that the lady with the mirror entered when she lost her mind usually wouldn't trap ghosts.
Because of this, she wasn't worried that she would be trapped in the Mirror Forest after her movements were restricted. She just needed to wait for the ghosts to come online and open her eyes again. Maybe she would find herself in a new place.
"But unlike before, this' Mirror Forest 'trapped me for a long time. Even when I lost my mind, I didn't choose to leave this place. "
"You didn't choose to leave the Mirror Forest? Are you saying that you can leave this place when you're still in a daze?"
The lady with the mirror nodded.
"When I'm awake, I can't move forward at all. No matter how many turns I take, I'll still be stuck in the same place.
But when I'm in a daze, I can keep moving forward. Every time I wake up, I'll end up in a different place. "
From this, it could be seen that the muddle-headed Mirror Banshee wouldn't trigger the rules of the Mirror Forest. However, the muddle-headed Mirror Banshee didn't choose to leave the Mirror Forest from above or below. Instead, she kept going deeper into the Mirror Forest.
"I don't know why I chose to stay in the Mirror Forest when I was in a daze. Maybe there was something in the Mirror Forest that was attracting me?
"This went on for several days. Every time I woke up, I would go deeper into the forest. I've arrived at the center of the Mirror Forest. "
"I thought I'd see the center of the Mirror Forest, but … I didn't.
"Then, when I woke up again, I found that I had already left the Mirror Forest."
"And I had a pitch-black stone on me. It was the Ghost Nightmare Stone."
In other words, the lady with the mirror obtained the Ghost Nightmare Stone while she was in a daze. If Angor wasn't mistaken, she obtained it from the center of the Mirror Forest.
After obtaining the Ghost Nightmare Stone, the lady with the mirror left the Mirror Forest in a daze.
Therefore, the Mirror Demoness didn't know how to obtain the Ghost Trap Stone. She only knew that she got it from the Mirror Forest.
"I learned how to use the Ghost Nightmare Stone after I got it. It seems to store an endless amount of Ghost Nightmare energy. But the energy seems to be lazy and doesn't want to leave the Ghost Nightmare Stone.
"You have to activate it to make the Nightmare Ghost Stone release its aura.
But once you give up, it'll go back to being lazy. "
Therefore, the Mirror Demoness had never thought that the Demon Ghost Stone would release the Demon Ghost Aura so crazily. Today's change also made the Mirror Demoness puzzled.
"After that, I came to the White Sun Mirror Domain by accident. There was no Ghost Nightmare energy here. Without the Ghost Nightmare Stone, I wouldn't have lasted long.
"After that, I went to the Town of Cursed Girls."
The mirror-wielding demoness recounted everything that had happened, including her own experiences.
However, Angor still didn't hear anything that could help him.
He looked at Laplace. Since Laplace was the one who asked, maybe she knew something.
Laplace considered and asked again, "Can you tell me more about the Mirror Forest? For example, what it looks like, where it is …"
"I don't know where it is. I didn't have any sense of direction when I was in the Dark Mirror Domain."
It made sense. Back in the Ghost Domain, the lady with the mirror would only stay awake for half an hour to an hour each day. Even when she was awake, she didn't know anything about the world.
The rest of the time, she was in a daze.
She just went wherever she went and didn't try to remember directions.
She didn't even know how she came to the White Sun Mirror Domain.
It was only after coming to the White Sun Mirror Domain and being taught by the Crimson Lamp Demon Empress that she gradually developed her intelligence.
"As for what the Mirror Forest looks like … it's made up of countless standing mirrors with handles on them. Each mirror is huge, some over a hundred meters or even a thousand meters tall. Furthermore, all of them are closely packed together, and the first thing that all living beings who enter this place will see is those densely packed handles. "
"It looks like a forest, so I call it the Mirror Forest."
Next, the lady with the mirror described the various mirrors in the forest in detail, as well as some of the rules she encountered when she was trapped in the forest.
After the mirror-wielding banshee finished her description, Laplace said indifferently, "Wait a moment, I'll contact my avatar."
"Clone?" Everyone looked at Laplace in confusion.
"Granny Dragon Crow is back. I'll ask my clone to ask her," Laplace explained.
The others still didn't know what was going on. Apart from Napoli, no one knew who Granny Dragon Crow was.
But Angor knew what was going on.
Laplace sent his clone to handle the Blood Calamity Ritual, so Granny Dragon Crow must be talking to Laplace's clone.
Granny Dragon Crow went to deal with the "type" of the Wretched Puppet challenge.
Therefore, Laplace decided to let his doppelganger contact Granny Dragon Crow, who was in the Dark Mirror Region, to ask about the situation in the Mirror Forest.
He could also ask about the "Ghost Nightmare Stone" while he was at it.
Everyone was still confused, but since Laplace told them to wait, they didn't ask any more questions.
Light and shadow suddenly dispersed, and time passed.
About ten minutes later, Laplace opened his eyes.
Everyone looked at him.
Facing the gazes of the crowd, Laplace didn't speak immediately. Instead, he frowned and seemed to be thinking about something.
Everyone was even more confused when they saw his expression.
Zhang Tie wondered what information Laplace had received. Why was he so silent and solemn for so long?
After a while, Laplace opened his mouth and said, "Information about the Nightmare Ghost Stone …"
"I got it."
