Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3652 Drifting Bottle

Laplace was originally preparing to watch the second round of the match.

But suddenly, the holographic illusion suddenly stopped, as if time and space stood still, and everyone's expression froze at the most vivid moment.

The edges of the illusion began to become jagged and blurred, and the entire constructed live illusion was collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The live broadcast illusion was controlled by Angel. Now that there was a problem with the illusion, something must have happened on Angel's side.

Think about this.

Laplace stood up, jumped down from the second-floor balcony, and landed next to Angel.

But Ingres was staring blankly at the sky.

"What... are you looking at?" Laplace frowned and subconsciously followed Angel's gaze towards the sky.

Under the dark and cloudless night, a star is constantly twinkling. Although its light is weak, it is particularly eye-catching in the boundless night.

"Stars." Ingres said without blinking, as if he was answering Laplace, or simply muttering to himself.

"Is there something wrong with that star?" Laplace's eyes flashed with confusion.

Although there is only one star in the night sky, it is not special in Laplace's view.

Angel did not answer immediately, but stared blankly for a long time, until Laplace gently pushed his shoulder, and he suddenly came to his senses.

The originally hazy eyes slowly turned clear again.

After a while of emotional ups and downs, Angel finally calmed down, and looked at Laplace with an apologetic look: "Sorry, I was lost in thought just now, and the live broadcast was interrupted. Wait for me, I will resume the live broadcast immediately..."

Laplace shook his head. "Don't worry about Luigi. Let's talk about you first. What happened to you just now? You felt like you were possessed by a demon?"

After a pause, Laplace looked up and pointed at the night sky: "Is there something wrong with that star?"

Angel hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head: "I don't know either. My spiritual sense tells me that there is something wrong with that star."

"Spiritual sense?"

Ingres nodded.

Just a few seconds ago, he suddenly had an inspiration, as if something was calling him from nowhere.

He raised his head following his spiritual sense and saw the twinkling star in the sky.

After that, he could no longer sense anything. He seemed to be in a trance before, but he was actually recalling his inspiration and observing the stars.

Laplace: "Did you notice anything wrong?"

Angel shook his head: "I looked from a God's perspective, and there was nothing where the stars were."

Laplace thought for a moment and said, "This is normal."

"The starry sky is basically a projection of the Star Spirit Realm. Even in a man-made box space, as long as the concept of "night" exists, it will receive the projection of the Star Spirit Realm."

The projection of the Astral World is not in the current dimension at all, so it is normal that Angel cannot see it.

Angel: "I also understand that the star is most likely just a projection of the sky, but it still feels strange. I rarely have this kind of spiritual perception, especially in the Dream Crystal Origin. This is the first time."

Looking at Angel's distressed expression, Laplace thought for a moment and said, "If your spiritual perception is that someone is calling you, or that the star is attracting you, then you might as well go over and take a look to see what it is."

"Go and have a look?" Angel was stunned for a moment: "But, I use the God's perspective..."

Laplace: "Believe in your own abilities, but you must believe in your own intuition even more. Especially as a transcendent, your intuition often indicates something of extraordinary significance."

"Something of extraordinary significance..." Angel muttered in a low voice, remembering a sentence he saw on the holographic tablet.

To change your life, you have to take risks; to have extraordinary things happen by chance; to have unimportant things, you have to have careful plans.

So, the stars in the sky and the throbbing spiritual sense represent something "extraordinarily meaningful"?

Of course, being significant doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing, it could also be a bad thing. If it’s so bad that you can’t forget it for the rest of your life, it’s also significant.

"Then I'll go over and take a look." After Angel finished speaking, he paused for two seconds and looked at Laplace: "Do you want to go with me?"

Laplace: "I won't go. I'll wait for you here."

The stars in the sky may be related to the secrets of the Dream Crystal Origin, and this is also revealed by Angel's "spiritual perception", so it must be related to him.

In this case, Laplace is naturally unwilling to invade other people's privacy.

However, Laplace still said: "If you encounter danger or need my help, remember to contact me as soon as possible."

Angel nodded; "I understand, thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, under Laplace's gaze, Angel logged off.

The illusions around him also disappeared. Laplace looked towards the dilapidated attic not far away and sighed, "It seems that I won't be able to see the second round of the duel. I hope I can see the third round."

But then again, if there really is a third round, doesn't that mean Luigi will lose the second round?

Moreover, according to the rules of the Star Climbing Challenge, if there is a third round, then the third round must be performed publicly for the audience to score.

The performances are usually held on the stage of Eden College in Birmingham, in a large theatre or in a crowded square.

Through a referendum, it would be more authoritative.

If we really make it to the third round, it will be a bit troublesome just to prepare for the stage. When the audience votes, they will vote based on personal connections and emotions, and they will not look at the skills.

Luigi may not necessarily be able to surpass Tarantino on the performance stage.

So, forget it.

If you can’t see it, then don’t see it. It’s better not to come for the third round.

Laplace walked aside and sat cross-legged on the throne woven with silver hair. He looked up at the only star above his head and silently waited for Angel to come back.

……

Ingres went offline once.

When he came online again, he was already in a place where the stars were shining.

He was high in the sky, surrounded by a thick mist that looked like clouds.

But in fact, it is not a cloud, but a mist formed when the nightmare aura becomes extremely dense.

Stretching out from the nightmare mist, even though Angel was only a conscious body now, he felt extremely comfortable.

However, this is not the time to pay attention to these things. Angel looked around carefully... According to the direction observed from the ground, this area should be where the star projection is.

But when Ingres looked around, he saw nothing.

Just like what I saw from the God’s perspective before, there was nothing around except fog.

Angel searched carefully nearby, trying to find anything unusual, but he didn't see anything wrong until he was almost at the boundary membrane.

"Could it be that my spiritual perception is wrong?" Angel frowned and murmured in a low voice.

"Or is it that the spiritual perception is actually guiding the star? In other words, it is the real body in the Star Spirit World?"

Angel narrowed his eyes, "Could it be that the twinkling star is actually the Earth?"

There are countless planets in the Star Spirit World. Angel once speculated whether the Earth where Jon is located is in the Star Spirit World. However, there is no entrance to the Star Spirit World, so it is difficult to get a definite answer.

Since the twinkling stars aroused Ingres's spiritual perception, he naturally thought in the direction of "Earth".

But after thinking for a moment, Angel felt that this guess was a bit too far-fetched.

There is no evidence at all, it's all based on imagination.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Regardless of whether my guess is right or not, if I want to verify it, I can only wait until I find the entrance to the Star Spirit Realm in the future." Angel shook his head. There was no point in thinking so much now.

Thinking of this, Angel prepared to log off and leave.

However, at the moment when Angel's figure gradually became blurred, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the "boundary membrane" at the end of the fog.

Huh?

Angel, who was logging off, immediately interrupted the process.

It’s not that he found anything abnormal on the “boundary membrane”, but he suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that the abnormal place is not inside the Dream Crystal Origin, but outside the Dream Crystal Origin?

That is to say, outside the membrane?

Angel had never thought of this situation before, because he had observed the outside of the Dream Crystal Origin many times before, and it was always pitch black and he could not see anything.

Gradually, I stopped paying attention to it.

But just now, he suddenly had the urge to see what was happening outside.

Since nothing was seen inside the Dream Crystal, could it be that the place guided by my spiritual perception is outside?

Outside, doesn’t it also correspond to the direction indicated by spiritual perception?

Thinking of this, Angel quickly stepped forward, and after dozens of seconds, he arrived in front of the boundary membrane.

The so-called "boundary membrane" is actually an invisible barrier. This barrier is not static, but will gradually move outward over time until it finally merges with the void outside.

However, at this time, the boundary membrane is still a "membrane", and one can clearly feel the feeling of "hitting a wall".

Although this membrane prevents movement, it is actually a form of protection.

Once the original consciousness of the Dream Crystal enters the void zone of the virtual space, it will be completely lost if it is not careful, and will eventually be unable to find the way back.

Angel had no intention of leaving the boundary membrane and going to the void outside. He just wanted to climb on the boundary membrane and observe the situation outside.

As the actual owner of the Dream Crystal Origin, he can use the main vision of the "Dream Crystal Origin" to observe the outside world.

As his gaze slowly moved outward.

His eyes saw the dark void outside...

However, there was nothing in the void, just like before.

This made Ingres a little disappointed. Could it be that he guessed wrong again?

Just when he was beginning to have doubts, he looked back at the mist attached to the boundary membrane. The mist was also the aura of nightmare.

Upon seeing this, Ingres' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is it an illusion? There seems to be a bright light in the fog?"

Moreover, the location of the light is very close to where his real body is!

Angel suppressed his inner emotions and slowly moved his vision forward. Soon, his vision entered the fog, and under the rolling fog, he came to the location of the light.

When he saw the glowing object, his eyes suddenly froze.

This is……

A message in a bottle sparkling with stars?!

……

Outside Luigi's copy.

"So, the starlight we just saw was just a flashing message in a bottle?" Laplace looked at Angel.

Angel nodded.

Laplace hesitated for a few seconds and whispered, "What about the drifting bottle?"

Ingres only had a letter in his hand and did not see the message in the bottle.

Angel shrugged: "Disintegrated."

Disintegration? Laplace didn't understand what Ingres meant.

Angel sighed helplessly and briefly recounted what had happened before.

At that moment, the moment he saw the message in the bottle, his spiritual sense emerged again, and he immediately realized that all his previous guesses were wrong.

It’s not a projection of the star spirit world, nor is it some mystery about the earth. The call of spiritual perception comes from this drifting bottle!

Although he didn't know where the bottle came from or why it appeared here, Ingres decided to bring it in and take a look.

Of course, Ingres also wondered whether the message in the bottle might contain hidden dangers or be dangerous.

But...even if it is really dangerous, Angel currently has no way to deal with it.

No matter how dangerous it is, it has already discovered the Dream Crystal Origin. If it is left outside, it may pose a greater risk. If it is incorporated into the Dream Crystal Origin, with Angel's authority, it can at least be restricted.

Therefore, the first thing Ingres thought of was to pull the drifting bottle into the boundary membrane.

This was not difficult for him either.

He directly controlled the nightmare aura outside and slowly stuffed the drifting bottle into the boundary membrane...

However, just before the drifting bottle entered the Dream Crystal Origin, it seemed to have completed its "drifting" mission, turning into glowing stardust and dissipating into the void.

Only the things in the drifting bottle were pulled into the Dream Crystal Plain by Angel.

And what was in the drifting bottle was a letter.

"Hearing what you said, the drifting bottle may really be a vehicle for transmitting information. When the information is transmitted to the Dream Crystal and received by you, it will automatically decompose and disappear." Laplace: "But who could have delivered the message to you?"

Angel shook his head. He didn't know either.

"You have no idea?"

Angel nodded: "No clue."

To achieve this, at least three conditions must be met.

First, knowing the existence of the Dream Crystal Origin; second, being able to lock the coordinates of the Dream Crystal Origin; third, being able to use a drifting bottle to transmit messages in the void.

In Ingres's impression, there is no one who can meet these three conditions at the same time.

Even he himself didn't know the exact coordinates of the Dream Crystal Origin.

Laplace naturally believed Angel. After all, she had witnessed the birth of the Dream Crystal with her own eyes.

Moreover, she had been with Angell during this period. She knew very well that Angell had not even told the wizard organization behind him about the Dream Crystal Origin.

Therefore, it is very likely that Ingres really does not know the owner of the bottle.

Who could have sent this letter? Was it sent to the wrong address? Was it intercepted by Dream Crystal?

Laplace returned his gaze to the envelope in Angel's hand.

The envelope is white as a whole, but there is a pitch-black "printing" on the front. It looks like "printing", but it could also be ink splashing, or a black wax seal stamp?

Apart from this, there were no other traces or writing on the envelope.

Neither the sender nor the recipient was filled in, as if it was really a message in a bottle with no request, and it would belong to whoever it drifts to.
