Chapter 4284 Aura
The outer hall.
The edges of the luminous disc had begun to "become luminous," like fireflies, constantly dissipating and fading away.
As the shimmering disc of light gradually dissipated, the expressions of the group from Rabbit Hole were clearly filled with worry.
In a practical sense, once Angor completed the Chapter of the Heart challenge, they had already perfectly cleared the "Echo Library." Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there should be no other competitors for this six-part puzzle; they could even be said to have already secured the victory in the Sandbox Wonderland.
But they felt no joy at this moment. Whether it was the rabbit girl, Gray Porcelain, or Gabriel, they all stared at the luminous disc that had dissipated.
On the disc, which had mostly dissipated, the last frozen frame of the live broadcast remained.
—Ingres pushed open the door to classicism and stepped into an unknown space.
Time became viscous and unbearable in the silence.
"Mr. Angell... how long have you been inside?" Gray Porcelain murmured.
This was the third time it had asked, but no one had answered before. This time, however, Gabriel responded.
"Three hundred and seventy-seven breaths have passed since the image was cut off."
Gray Porcelain was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "You're counting your breaths? No, do you even need to breathe anymore?"
The Chaotic Mouth Clan doesn't have noses either, so do they need to breathe?
Gabriel, manipulating the illusion puppet, said, "I don't need to breathe, but I've counted your breathing rate."
Gray Porcelain: "???"
Gabriel: "Your breathing is so heavy, like a leaky bellows. I can't help but hear it even if I don't want to..."
I was just bored.
Or perhaps it just needed something to distract itself, so it started counting the breaths of the gray porcelain.
Gabriel's explanation left Gray Porcelain speechless.
"I don't know what's wrong with you, you're counting my breaths." Gray Porcelain was speechless.
Gabriel scoffed: "I don't know what's wrong with you, asking the same question three times."
Gray Porcelain: "I kept asking because no one answered me!"
Gabriel: "No one is answering because the question is meaningless..."
Gray Porcelain: "Counting your breaths is meaningless."
Seeing that Gabriel and Gray Porcelain were about to start arguing again, the rabbit girl sighed helplessly: "You two are basically the same, one of you is trying to distract yourself and the other is talking to yourself."
Upon hearing this, Gray Porcelain suddenly stopped. Gabriel did the same.
They were indeed acting strangely, but the reasons for these strangenesses were easy to guess; they were both trying to alleviate their worries about Angel in their own ways.
"The leader is the same. In just five minutes, he's almost plucked all the fur off the rabbit doll's head. If he keeps doing that, it'll be bald," Gray Porcelain complained, looking at the fluffy mess on the floor.
The bunny girl subconsciously loosened her grip on the doll, but a moment later, she gripped it again.
“This is an illusion, not a real doll… Besides, Angor might be able to sense these hairs falling off…”
The rabbit girl stopped speaking here, though she hadn't finished her sentence, the unspoken message was clear.
—Perhaps Angell will sense this and then contact them.
That way, at least they can put their worries at ease.
However, judging from the rabbit girl's continued "fur-plucking" behavior, Angell did not communicate telepathically...
A moment of silence.
Gray Porcelain tried to restrain herself, but her worries kept coming, and she couldn't help but whisper again.
"Mr. Angell must be having a telepathic conversation with the demon god right now, right?"
Is this a presentation of key knowledge points?
"Or……"
It sounded like a question, yet also like talking to oneself.
"Sigh, if only the Flowing Light Disc could broadcast the scene inside the rift live," Gray Porcelain sighed, "then we wouldn't be so worried."
"Speaking of which, what exactly does the Demon God's divine thought of the Cruel Scholar look like? I've never seen a Demon God before. If I could see one, it would add another brilliant chapter to my legendary experience."
Gabriel was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Perhaps, the Demon God's divine sense is a giant head with only a mouth on it? After all, the characteristic of a cruel scholar is to plunder knowledge and swallow it with his mouth, which makes sense."
Gray Porcelain: "I think that since the demon god's divine will is sealed, there must be a corresponding image. It's like the blue smoke demon god inside the teapot; if you rub the teapot lid up and down with your fingertips, it will emerge from the teapot's spout..."
The rabbit girl originally wanted to follow her teammate's lead and share her own thoughts on the demon god, but after listening to Gray Porcelain's explanation, she was filled with question marks: "...Why does this sound so familiar?"
Gray Porcelain didn't speak, she just smiled with her lips pursed.
Gabriel murmured from the side, "It describes a fairy tale book from the Rabbit Town Library, only the magic lamp has been replaced with a teapot..."
……
On the third floor of the Echo Library, in a certain Flying Book Plaza.
The layers upon layers of glowing flying books illuminated the place like a daytime auditorium.
It can be clearly seen that the square is full of black and white balls, and the book spirits and book demons are safe and peaceful, coexisting in harmony.
Surrounded by black and white balls, a golden-haired creature stood out.
She is the Book Fairy.
The book fairy sat atop a tall pile of books, her hands supporting her chin, staring blankly at a thick-covered book directly in front of her.
To be precise, it is the lion-faced statue on top of the thick-covered book.
This was left to her by Normeffens when they met before.
According to Normefens, it was carved from the stone of the Wailing Wall, and as a guardian of the Wailing Wall, it is closely associated with it.
Even if the stone detaches from the wall, Normefens can sense it.
Thanks to this characteristic, the human lion statue became a "communication tool" through which the book fairy could contact it.
The Book Fairy did indeed communicate with Nomefens through the Lion-faced statue. Nomefens told her about the Heart Chapter, and she used her own knowledge to help Angor.
Everything was fine until just over ten minutes ago, when the lion statue suddenly went missing.
"What exactly happened on Normefens's side?" the book fairy murmured.
She had previously used her authority to see Nomefens emerge from the golden sea of hemp and then stand in front of Angor.
Since then, Normefens's voice has disappeared.
The book fairy was a little worried about Normefens, after all, it had done some things before: it had risked everything to sacrifice itself for its beliefs, and it had not stopped despite the advice of countless people.
The book fairy was a little worried. Would Normefens lose his temper again this time?
However, more than the past, the book fairy was concerned about Angel.
"The rift is clearly in the Echo Library, but I don't have the necessary permissions to see what's inside..." the book fairy said helplessly.
Despite having many privileges as an observer, she still couldn't see the rift or know Angel's situation inside.
The book fairy clasped her hands together and whispered in prayer, "I hope to encounter a better demon god."
"For example, Charlottende."
Although Charlotte is a member of the "conformist" faction and relatively supports the true form of the demon god, He is not cruel in his daily life. He is refined in his manner and greatly admires those with academic knowledge.
When Angell met Charlottende, at least he wouldn't be like those "restless" divine thoughts that wouldn't even give him a chance to speak.
Charlotte will at least let Angor finish explaining the specialized knowledge.
"However, not all divine senses of the restless faction are without patience; some divine senses are exceptions."
"For example, the Curiean of the Anti-Ontology Alliance."
Kureian is not irritable; he is classified as a restless one because of his excessive ego and his membership in the anti-ontology faction.
"His personality is also quite refined, but compared to Charlotte, he's a bit more cunning..."
“But if Angor were to meet Him, that would be fine too. As long as his specialized knowledge is deep enough, Kuriean would also be captivated.”
As the book fairy pondered this, she suddenly thought of another member of the Anti-Original Alliance: Sebastian.
"Sebastian is actually a relatively easy-going deity, but he is too arrogant..."
The book fairy shook his head, thinking that encountering an arrogant divine thought like Sebastian wouldn't be a good thing.
If Angell had been a little more impulsive, they might have clashed head-on.
Curienne and Charlotte Linde would be a better match.
and so.
"Let Angel meet Curienne and Charlotte..."
The book fairy is praying silently.
……
In front of the classical gate.
Normefens could vaguely sense that the book fairy was contacting him.
However, it can no longer respond as it used to.
Because it is no longer a guardian of the Wailing Wall.
When it chose to become the gatekeeper, it bid farewell to the Wailing Wall completely.
Since it's no longer related to the Wailing Wall, there's naturally no way to use the statue to contact the fairy...
However, since Angor passed the Chapter of the Heart, communication with the Book Fairy has become less important, so Normefens didn't pay much attention to it.
It is now completely focused on what's behind the "door".
As the gatekeeper between the rifts, it can actually roughly sense the situation inside, but only if... the demon god's divine sense restrains the myriad phenomena of the universe.
When the divine essence permeated the cracks, the information flow was so massive that even Normefens dared not easily perceive it and could only regress his consciousness.
Only when the spirit is contained can it clearly perceive the interior.
But for some reason, this demon god's divine sense didn't restrain its divine aura at all.
"That's not right. Didn't the book fairy say that all the divine senses of the Cruel Scholar respect people with knowledge?"
Because of this "respect," many divine thoughts will deliberately restrain their divine aura when they encounter scholars with profound knowledge, since the other party is overwhelmed by disordered knowledge.
Of course, some more unruly spirits will use "divine charm" to test these scholars. If they pass, they will voluntarily restrain themselves.
However, in any case, when facing genuine scholars, Shen Yun will ultimately restrain itself.
But now, Angel has been inside for five minutes.
The divine essence permeated the entire crevice, which made it impossible for Nomefens to perceive the internal environment.
"Could it be that Angell's knowledge base was too shallow and he failed Shen Yun's test?"
Normefens sensed something was amiss. Angell had solved the Book Spirit Trial entirely in the library, and had also handled the Heart Chapter Trial exceptionally well.
How could a "scholar" possibly fail the test of Shen Yun?
"Or is it that the demon god inside has a particularly wicked personality and likes to constantly display divine aura? Even when facing real scholars?"
I don't know which one Normefens is.
But it prefers the former, because at least there is room for redemption, while the latter is much more difficult.
"I hope Angell can meet a divine thought that isn't so wicked."
Although Normefens was not in communication with the book fairies at this time, their choices were the same, and even the content of their prayers was almost identical...
……
Unbeknownst to Angell, Normefens was quite worried about him because of Shen Yun.
He didn't know that other demons would restrain their divine aura when they encountered "scholars".
Sebastian is a complete exception.
His arrogance made it difficult for him to restrain himself.
However, that's not the main point. The main point is that Sebastian noticed that Angel had no influence within the divine realm, so even if He had the idea to restrain Himself, He did not intend to.
But that's another story. Let's get back to the main topic.
When Angell discovered Sebastian's arrogant personality, he did not feel disgusted; in fact, he thought it was a good thing.
The main point is that, although Sebastian is arrogant, he is self-aware when facing his true self.
Knowing that it would be difficult for Him to break through the wall of truth on His own, He needed someone to cooperate with Him, and Angell became His target.
Arrogant yet self-aware, and still wanting something from him. This couldn't be better for Angell.
He had been thinking about how to bring up the "specialized knowledge" to attract Sebastian's attention... and now, the opportunity had come.
Moreover, it was Sebastian himself who proactively offered the opportunity to Angell.
“I don’t think I have any special talent that can help Your Majesty,” Angell said, shaking his head.
"No, you have it! You definitely have it!" Sebastian took two steps forward, his blue flame eyes shining brightly, his body made of information trembling slightly. "You can solve the problems of the Decayers, that's the manifestation of your brilliance, and that's what I need!"
Angell: "It is not I who solve the problem of the decayers, but..."
Angel was about to say the name, but suddenly stopped, deliberately showing hesitation. After a moment, he gently shook his head: "In short, this is not my doing."
"Your Majesty, could you really revive a completely extinct civilization on your own?"
"Huh?" Sebastian looked Angor up and down. Although he couldn't use his computing power at the moment and had lost many abilities due to his current state, he could still tell that Angor's strength was not high.
While strength does not guarantee the outcome, it is certainly an indicator.
“What you said makes sense. You are too weak. You alone are definitely not enough to completely solve the problem of the Decayers.”
“I don’t care who’s behind you. Like I said before, titles are the most troublesome thing… But I do care, what kind of knowledge is this that allows you to revive the ghost of the Prussian civilization?”
Sebastian stared at Angel.
Although He had only caught a glimpse through Weeks' lantern, He had witnessed a shocking scene: shattered fragments of the soul were being reassembled, even "resurrected," and able to communicate with the withered ones!
This is something even the original body cannot do!
What the original cannot do is equivalent to knowledge that the original does not possess, equivalent to a spiritual light that surpasses the original's understanding, and also equivalent to the bargaining chip that allows Him to take its place!
Angel said calmly, "I don't know what that knowledge is, because I am just a user who has been given the right to use it, but I don't know the truth."
"I am also diligently researching the truth behind it, but I have not yet found anything."
"Unfortunately, the one who granted me the right to use it was not a person, but the world's will, which has no subjective concepts whatsoever."
"Therefore, I have no way to ask it for knowledge."
"I can only study it myself."
At this point, Angel shrugged: "So, asking me won't help."
