Chapter 2929 Thought Interference

 Luigi and the bunny girl looked at Angel in surprise.

Angel is not going to discuss it?

Facing the attention of everyone, Angel smiled brightly.

 Although he didn't say anything, his smile calmed everyone's mood.

Perhaps Angel has his own methods?

Thinking of this, the bunny girl looked back at Laplace and Graipnir beside her. 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 slums and go to the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain does not match the green aperture. What should we do?

Everyone was thinking about a solution, even Graipnir 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 an updraft in the wind field?" Luigi whispered.

 Neither Laplace nor Gleipnir answered, but they were actually leaning towards Luigi's guess.

 It is not necessarily an updraft, there may be other types of mechanisms.

 Because the only place they can't see is the inside of the room, and maybe the key to clearing the level does exist inside the room?

Angor could no longer hear what everyone was talking about. Even if he heard it, he wouldn't care. He actually already has 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.

Angor smiled softly, and instead of looking up at the sky, he looked straight ahead.

  Directly in front of him is a black bungalow. The house has no windows and the walls are pure black.

 At present, he has two paths.

 One way is into the 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 up 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 did not do this. He walked aside and climbed up the wooden ladder to the roof of the bungalow.

 There is no other access on the roof of the building, but the surrounding distribution can be seen.

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.

 So, 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 all filled with 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.

With a slight jump, he jumped to the black roof on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, Angel found a ladder on the black roof and continued to climb up to a higher place.

 As before, pick up the ladder and put it upright. After placing it, Angel moved on.

Along the way, Angel never entered the house once. He only moved on the roof, erecting a ladder from time to time, or holding a wooden board to block somewhere.

 Throughout the whole process, 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 is the shadow.

The shadows of these ladders appear to be one in the east and the other, 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 the direction where they were sitting.

So, Angel is relying on the shadow of the base to reach the end point - the green aperture?

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 admire them.

 Their guess was actually correct.

He is indeed building a shadow, passing through various ladders, planks, towers, and the shadow of the house itself, and finally forming a shadow path that leads 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 can step directly onto the shadow! 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.

Afterwards, 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.

Such as plot kills, hidden plots, clearance rewards, etc., this series actually exists in the corner of my own mind.

If it is just one or two of them, Angel will feel a coincidence, but if a brain appears, Angel will have a kind of ... Should this dreamy tourism be affected by his own thinking?

Though the idea that thinking affects power is a bit hard to fathom. 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 nightmares of Sanders and Sumishi, their thoughts can also affect the changes in the nightmares.

 Including Angel's own extreme luxury nightmare, it can also be influenced by thinking.

Although the Wilderness of Dreams and Crystal Plains of Dreams are also nightmare realms, they are too large to be influenced by Angel's 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 Wonderland are too coincidental.

Let Angel suspect that maybe his thinking can really affect the nightmare... As for the reason, it may be that he has 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 the dream of Dreamer in Wonderland based on Angel's thinking, forming the... ingenuity in front of us.

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 way of playing, which is to rely on visual dislocation to form a passage.

As for the "Magic Track", there was a hint before that the core of this track is "black and white and light and shadow".

Based on the current situation, Angel came up with the idea 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.

 How to form a turn?

 At this time, the house becomes useful.

 Pure black houses can be used as shadows to form passages; the shadows of white houses can also become pathways for walking.

In this case, black and white houses combined with light and shadow can really build a road to the sky.

 This is actually the mechanism of this track.

  After Angell unlocked this mechanism, it 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.

Angor 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.

 So, Angel could only recognize the established power of Dreamland.

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 unlikely. 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, just 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 is no longer a passive influence on the nightmare, but has absolute initiative, this barrier will not 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 will "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 Angor already knew that this track borrowed the mechanism of Monument Valley, the speed of solving the puzzles was naturally much faster.

Perhaps, according to the host's estimation, Angel will have to stay at this track for a day or two before he can have some thoughts.

 Even if you have ideas, 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.

 There is no doubt that this will take a long time.

 Hence, the host is prepared for the long term.

 But Angel completely surpassed 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 foundation, which is the so-called favorable location, people and people.

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.

It means that Angel has completed the race ahead of schedule, but still needs to wait until 2:45 pm for the end of the track.

 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 makes the host a little confused about 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.

While the host was having a headache on how to spend the next four hours, Angel, who was on the magic track, suddenly flew up...
