Luigi and the bunny girl looked at Angel in surprise.
Angel is not going to discuss it?
Facing everyone's attention, Angel showed a bright smile.
Although he didn't say anything, his smile calmed everyone's mood.
Maybe Angel has his own methods?
Thinking of this, the bunny girl looked back at Laplace and Graipnir beside her. However, these two were completely old gods and seemed not to have any trouble at all with Angel's decision.
Seeing this scene, the bunny girl felt more at ease. Even the body and the astrological mother-in-law are so calm, Angel should be fine.
As for Laplace and Graipnir, who reassured the bunny girl, they actually had doubts in their hearts, but they could also see that Angel was not the kind of person who acted impulsively. He made such a decisive choice, presumably with a certain degree of certainty.
Amid everyone's expectations, and under the guidance of the spotlight, Angel slowly landed on the ground...or rather, at the foot of the mountain.
This "black and white slum" is actually built on a hill, with black and white houses from the foot of the hill to the top.
Although it is a city on a mountain, the mountain is not high and is considered a short mountain. The top of the mountain is only a few dozen meters above the ground, and the end point pointed by the green aperture is a hundred meters in the air. Even if you climb to the top of the mountain, you cannot reach the green aperture. What's more, even if the top of the mountain is a hundred meters high, the straight-line distance between it and the green aperture is also hundreds of meters away. The two are not in the same coordinate system at all, let alone intersect.
But now Angel is at the red aperture, and the only way is to enter the slum and go to the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain doesn’t match the green aperture. What should we do?
Everyone was thinking about a solution, even Gleipnir and Laplace were talking privately, but they couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard they thought.
"Is there some mechanism in the room below? For example, it can create updrafts in the wind field?" Luigi whispered.
Neither Laplace nor Gleipnir answered, but they were actually leaning towards Luigi's guess.
It doesn't have to be updrafts, there may be other types of mechanisms.
Because the only place they can't see is inside the room, and maybe the key to clearing the level does exist inside the room?
Angel could no longer hear what everyone was talking about. Even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. He actually already had some guesses about this track...
He looked up at the sky, and the dazzling sunlight was falling down.
The bright light shone on his body, and the shadows outlined his facial features, and the shadow areas became deeper and deeper.
Angel smiled softly, and instead of looking up at the sky, he looked straight ahead.
Directly in front of him was a black bungalow with no windows and pure black walls.
Currently, he has two paths.
One way is into this black house. Although this house has no windows, there is a door. The door is open, but it is dark inside and nothing can be seen.
The second way is to climb to the roof. There is a black wooden ladder on the wall of this black house. You can climb up to the high wall along this wooden ladder.
According to the ideas of Laplace and others, Angel should definitely go into the house and take a look at this time.
But Angel didn't do that. He walked aside and climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof of the bungalow.
There are no other passages on the roof, but you can see the surrounding distribution.
There is another black house directly in front of the roof, separated by a passage about three meters wide. There is also a black house on the left, also separated by a three-meter-wide passage.
About six meters away on the right side, there is a white house, but this white house is three stories high, with no balcony or windows on the second floor.
Therefore, if Angel wants to start from the top of this building and go to other places, he must either go forward or to the left. Although there is a distance of three meters, you can still jump over with a little skill and strength.
However, Angel did not make a choice immediately. Instead, he turned around and pulled the wooden ladder he had climbed up to the roof.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked enlightened. Are they planning to take the wooden ladder to other roofs? This is a good method, at least it is easier than jumping three meters away.
However, Angel did not do this. Instead, he walked around the roof with the wooden ladder, found a backrest, and let the wooden ladder stand upright on the roof.
Others don't understand what Angel is going to do, and they are full of questions... Is he trying to climb high and look far? If you really could climb a height out of thin air, wouldn't you be afraid that you would be unable to stand on your own?
When everyone was confused, Angel gave up the wooden ladder again and came to the left side instead.
He jumped lightly and jumped to the black roof on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, Angel found a ladder on the black roof and continued to climb to a higher place.
As before, pick up the ladder and place it upright. After placing it, Angel moved on.
Along the way, Angel never entered the house once. He only moved on the roof, erecting ladders from time to time, or holding wooden boards to block somewhere.
The whole time, Luigi and the bunny girl were confused. On the other hand, Laplace and Graipnir saw some clues when Angel erected the fourth ladder and gestured towards a tall tower in the distance.
This is... the shadow on base?
Yes, it's the base shadow.
The shadows of these ladders appear to be scattered here and there, but there is actually no cover behind or in front of them. As long as the sunlight reaches a certain angle, these shadows will overlap.
Moreover, the overlapping shadows faced exactly where they were sitting.
So, Angel is relying on the shadow of the base to reach the end point - the green halo?
However, even if the shadow reaches the aperture, what is the use? It’s impossible for Angel to be able to turn into a shadow and travel through the shadows, right?
If Angel heard the speculations in Laplace and Graipnir's minds, he might also sigh in admiration.
Their guess was actually correct.
He was indeed a shadow on the base, passing through various ladders, planks, towers, and the shadow of the house itself, and finally formed a shadow path that led directly to the green circle of light.
But Angel does not need to be transformed into a shadow, nor does he need to have the ability to travel through shadows.
He could just step onto the shadows! And, without any external force.
Because this is the mechanism of this track.
When Angel saw the track for the first time, the small game "Monument Valley" came to mind.
Later, when the host talked about this track, it sounded like it was a very creative way of playing. As for the source of the creativity, the host also said that it was "God-given".
When talking about "God's gift", Angel naturally thought of the mechanism in Dreamland that once gave him a sense of déjà vu.
What plot kills, hidden plots, level-clearance rewards...etc., this series actually exists in the corner of my own mind.
If it were just one or two of them, Angel would think it was a coincidence, but if they all appeared, Angel would feel like... Could this Dreamland in Wonderland be affected by his own thinking?
Although this idea of thinking affecting power is a bit difficult to understand. But the power tree itself is stationed deep in one's own thinking, and fluctuations in one's own thinking may not affect the power.
Just like the nightmare realms of Sanders and Sumishi, their thoughts can also affect the changes in the nightmare realm.
Including Angel's own extreme luxury nightmare realm, it can also be influenced by thinking.
Although the Dream Wilderness and the Dream Crystal Plain are also nightmare realms, they are so large that it is difficult for Angel to influence them with his thoughts. Therefore, Angel had never thought of using his thoughts to influence the Dream Wilderness before.
But now the various senses of déjà vu in Dreamland are too coincidental.
Angel suspected that maybe his thinking could really affect the nightmare... As for the reason, it might be that he had the core power of the power tree.
With this thought in mind, Angel looked back at the "God-given ingenuity" mentioned by the host, and came up with some new ideas.
Perhaps, this so-called God-given ingenuity is actually Dreamland's transformation of the dreamer's dream based on Angel's thinking, forming the... ingenuity in front of him.
If this guess is correct, then it is possible that Black and White Slums will borrow the "gameplay" from Monument Valley.
In order to confirm his thoughts, Angel entered this track.
Monument Valley has a very interesting gameplay, which relies on visual dislocation to form pathways.
The "Magic Track" has previously given a reminder that the core of this track is "black and white and light and shadow".
Based on the current situation, Angel thought of using shadow dislocation to form a passage.
After his attempts, a single shadow cannot form a passage, but if two or more shadows overlap, then the shadow will act like a magic trick, forming a passage that is invisible to the naked eye but actually walkable. .
However, although the shadows can overlap, it is difficult to form a straight path of shadows that reaches the green aperture in the sky. If you want to reach the green aperture at high altitude, the shadow will inevitably turn in the middle.
And how to form a corner?
At this time, the house becomes useful.
The pure black house can be used as a shadow to form a passage; the shadow of the white house can also become a walking path.
In this case, the combination of black and white houses with light and shadow can really create a road to the sky.
This is actually the mechanism of this track.
After Angel unlocked this mechanism, he was basically certain that this was a gameplay mechanism similar to Monument Valley.
Then all his previous guesses may be true. Dreamland is a power constructed by extracting certain mechanism ideas from one's own thinking and adding the energy from the Mirror World, Dream World and Nightmare World.
Angel felt a little awkward about this.
After all, part of the mechanism of Dreamland comes from your own thinking, which is very unpleasant no matter how you think about it.
If you really want to borrow it, you can discuss it in advance... But Angel also knows very well that Dreamland is power and has no intelligence. It is affected by Angel's thinking, which does not mean that it can communicate with Angel.
Therefore, Angel could only accept the established power of Dreaming in Wonderland.
However, this also reminded Angel that the power tree still needs to be isolated by a thinking barrier in his own mind. Otherwise, if the power tree is affected by Angel's thinking in the future, wouldn't he have no secrets? .
Of course... Angel also knew that this was impossible. Because now although his thinking can affect power, the degree of influence is very limited. If the autonomy of the mechanism of Dreamland is 100%, then Angel's influence is only 1%.
This is actually very rare. Like Sanders' "Dark Tower Nightmare", if he wants to use his mind to interfere, there is definitely a way to achieve 100%. And he has absolute initiative, unlike Angel, who is more of a passive interference.
Having said that, Angel decided to add a mental barrier outside the power tree.
In the future, when he no longer passively affects the nightmare, but has absolute initiative, this barrier will no longer be needed.
However, although Angel was a little dissatisfied with Dreamland's "unauthorized" use of his mind. However, it has to be said that the appearance of Dreamland has given Angel a deeper understanding of the subject of nightmare.
He originally thought that the power in the main body of the nightmare world might be similar to the basic laws in other worlds, but the appearance of "Dream in Wonderland" broke this concept.
In fact, the power itself is not rigid and fixed, but can be "customized".
Angel's previous thinking was limited to the world he knew, so he only knew a few laws. Now he discovered that there is such a "Sleep in Wonderland" type of power, which opened his eyes. .
If we really want to use fixed cognition to define it, what type of power would "Dream in Wonderland" be?
Puzzle-solving in nature? Fantasy in nature? Or is it a copy?
Angel doesn't know the answer yet, but in the future he may be able to solve these mysteries when he has a deeper understanding of Dreamland.
…
Since Angel already knew that this track borrowed the mechanism of Monument Valley, the speed of solving the puzzle was naturally much faster.
Perhaps, according to the host's estimation, Angel would have to stay at this track for a day or two before he would have some thoughts.
Even if you have thoughts, you still need to have an overall view. Only when you have the overall situation in your mind can you build the road to heaven the fastest.
No doubt this will take a long time.
Therefore, the host is prepared for the long term.
But Angel completely exceeded everyone's imagination. It took him almost only half an hour to build the foundation of the Road to Heaven...
Yes, it’s just the basics, which is the so-called favorable location and people.
And if you want to open the road to the sky and reach the green aperture, you not only need the right location and people, but also the right time!
Only when a certain moment is reached and the angle of the sunlight is consistent with the road to the sky, can the road to the sky be opened.
The host knows this time... 2:45 pm.
The time Angel entered the track was 9:30 am, and the current time is 10 am.
In other words, Angel has completed the race ahead of schedule, but still needs to wait. The track will end at 2:45 pm.
The host didn't know what to say at this time.
If Angel hasn't found a way to crack it yet, he can still make some jokes, but now Angel has completed all the foreplay and is waiting for the end.
This left the host a little confused as to what to do... It's not funny to be funny, it's not qualified to ridicule, and there's no need to heat up the atmosphere.
When the host was worried about how to spend the next four hours, Angel, who was on the magic track, suddenly flew up...
