Chapter 3219 Questioning Rules

Hearing Angel's words, Xiao Xiaotao's weird eyebrows raised, as if she was surprised by Angel's courage.

 “You want to perform in front of me?”

Angor nodded. There are many ways to perform. As long as it is not an artistic performance, he can try it.

  Anyway, you won’t suffer any loss if you try it.

Seeing Angel nod, Xiao Xiaotao's dark eyes showed a bit of ridicule: "You only have a light of consciousness now, and even your appearance is an illusory shell. What kind of performance can you do?"

Angor: "I can bring my body over."

Xiao Xiaotao turned her head and said, "I can't wait that long. I took some time out of my busy schedule to follow my destiny."

“I don’t have much time left, I have to go back and give interviews to those prospective actors.”

Angor: “Auditioning a prospective actor? Do you work in a theater?”

Xiao Xiaotao snorted coldly: "If you want to know, then let her meet my request."

After Xiao Xiaotao finished speaking, the weird peach face no longer faced Angel, but looked at Laplace.

 Obviously, the problem is back to its original point.

Xiao Xiaotao doesn't want to watch Angel's performance. Moreover, Angel is just a fake body now and can't perform anything earth-shattering.

 So, the performance she wanted to watch and the performance she was looking forward to was still only Laplace's "The Whale Absorbs Water".

When Laplace saw Xiao Xiaotao looking at her, she was silent for a moment and said: "Swallowing memories doesn't seem to be considered a performance, does it?"

When Xiao Xiaotao made this request before, Laplace was too lazy to pay attention. Even though Xiao Xiaotao had a mysterious aura and was most likely a mysterious spirit, for Laplace, this did not have much appeal because the other party was just A "passer-by".

However, if Xiao Xiaotao can help Angel, then Laplace is willing to consider Xiao Xiaotao's request.

What she didn't understand was why Xiao Xiaotao insisted on letting her act like a whale sucking water?

 It is actually not difficult for her to swallow the memories of the empty mirror sea. Every time she makes a body, she absorbs the memories displayed outside the empty mirror and turns them into inspiration materials. Therefore, it doesn't take much effort for her to swallow up the memories. It's just that she doesn't understand Xiao Xiaotao's thoughts.

Hearing Laplace's question, Xiao Xiaotao's narrow eyes flashed brightly, and she explained seriously: "For you, this is a daily life. But for me, it is an interesting event. Performance."

 My daily life becomes your performance? Laplace frowned. She was still a little unclear about what she meant. Could this be the strange brain circuit of the mysterious spirit?

"A life of observing interesting things is the beautiful scenery I pursue." Xiao Xiaotao: "Compared to those exaggerated performances, what I like more is the beautiful scenery I discovered by myself. Similarly, this is also my philosophy as an interviewer. .”

Xiao Xiaotao said something strange again. Laplace didn't understand it, but Angel did.

To sum it up in one sentence: you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs.

 You have become the scenery for others, but you don’t know it yourself.

“If you, as an interviewer, pursue such a performance, can anyone really pass the interview?” Angel muttered in a low voice.

You need to have the other person be an actor, but also need the other person not to know that you are an actor. Furthermore, you need to personally discover the beauty in the other person. If you interview according to this standard, wouldn’t all actors have to be eliminated?

Perhaps hearing Angel's muttering, Xiao Xiaotao said with deep meaning: "Indeed, there are very few people who can pass my interview. However, if you can't even pass my interview, then there is no need to go to the theater. stage.”

 Laplace: "So, you are interviewing me?"

　　Xiao Xiaotao shook her head: "No, it's not my working time now. I'm just doing a performance I want to watch in my spare time."

“And if it were an interview, you wouldn’t even be able to pass the first interview, let alone my interview.”

"So, you are lucky to meet me and let me ask for it."

Others who want to get Xiao Xiaotao's answer must pass at least the first two rounds of interviews, but not everyone can pass the theater interview.

There can be more than one interviewer in the theater. They have different preferences and different ways of performing.

Laplace may arouse the interest of Xiao Xiaotao, but it may not arouse the interest of the first interviewer.

 So, now Laplace does not need to go through the first interviewer, but can directly use the performance of a whale sucking water to get the opportunity to ask her questions. In Xiao Xiaotao's view, this is definitely Laplace's luck.

Laplace did not like Xiao Xiaotao's arrogant attitude. However, considering the other party's mysterious identity, Laplace did not show it. He just pondered for a moment and said: "I can perform a swallowing of memories, but you How do you see it? Where do you see it?"

Seeing Laplace relent, Xiao Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and she quickly said: "You just have to perform, I'm here, and I can see all the scenery around me."

Laplace nodded, no longer paying attention to Xiao Xiaotao, but looked at Angel.

Angor: “Do you really want to perform?”

 Laplace: “It’s not troublesome for me to swallow the memories around me. As she said, this is my daily life.”

 Showing everyday life, Laplace doesn’t care. She didn't agree before just because she was too lazy to pay attention to an uninvited guest. Now that Xiao Xiaotao has offered a "price" and has some motivation, it doesn't hurt to show it off.

Lapras paused: "However, when I swallow my memories, the energy around me may riot. So, you may not be able to stay with me for the time being. Should I send you to the heights of consciousness first?"

Angor didn’t think much and nodded in agreement. He only has a little flash of consciousness now, but he doesn't have Xiao Xiaotao's ability to observe the sky and the earth. Even if he were to stay on Laplace's back, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

 So, it’s okay to leave temporarily.

Soon, Angel was sent back to the void of consciousness by Laplace.

In the void of consciousness surrounded by stars, Angel fell into deep thought.

When he returned to the void of consciousness, he slowly rose up and caught a glimpse of Laplace's true body.

 He saw the familiar full moon and the huge head half exposed in the water.

 He ​​previously thought that Laplace's true form was a gigantic beast thousands of meters tall, but when he peeked into a corner, he found that his size was still too small.

The smaller half of Laplace's real body has already reached several thousand meters. The "Needle Forest Mountain" where they were before, judging from its location, is at most Laplace's "Brow Peak".

 From this we can see how huge Laplace's real body is.

  No smaller than those void monsters.

Furthermore, Laplace is a creature that the will of the Sun Mirror World loves, and it is estimated to be stronger than void monsters of the same level.

You must know that human wizards of the same level generally cannot defeat monsters, and void monsters are stronger than ordinary monsters.

If you really calculate it this way, with Laplace's current peak level three strength, maybe it can be compared to the legendary wizard?

Of course, this is just a calculation of Angel's ignorance. Whether it is true or not is not known.

The only thing Angel is sure of is that if Laplace's real body comes to the Southern Region, it will probably be similar to the arrival of the devil, and few people can resist it.

Although it was just a glimpse, Angel thought of more.

I was shocked by Laplace’s majesty and power, but I was also glad that I had found a good partner, and with such a strong backer, I expected that the promotion of Dream Crystal in the Mirror Realm would not be a big problem.

“Laplace is so huge. If he really opened his mouth to swallow memories, the scene would probably be very shocking.” At this moment, Angel also understood a little bit why Xiao Xiaotao was so determined to watch Laplace swallow memories.

Just thinking about it, he felt how grand this scene was.

While thinking about the grand scene of "a whale swallowing water", Angel was also thinking about Xiao Xiaotao's identity.

Laplace didn't pay much attention to Xiao Xiaotao, but Angel felt that Xiao Xiaotao's appearance might be some kind of precursor... You must know that the real area corresponding to the Daytime Mirror Territory includes the Southern Territory.

 Could Xiao Xiaotao's real body be also near the Southern Territory?

And the identity of the theater interviewer... made Angel think of some possibilities.

 …

The time spent in the void of consciousness was difficult to calculate. Angel only felt that after a moment, the familiar mirror appeared in front of him again.

 Laplace's voice also came from the surrounding stars: "My performance is over. Xiao Xiaotao has agreed to answer the questions. You can come out."

Angor didn’t hesitate and stretched his hand directly into the mirror.

 With the feeling of falling, Angel returned to reality from the void of consciousness.

.

 Obviously, the constantly rising and falling "sea surface" is the aftermath of Laplace's whale swallowing water.

Just the aftermath can shatter tens of thousands of memory images. It can be seen that the scene when the whale swallows water is probably even more shocking.

This kind of scene is indeed worthy of the "performance" that Xiao Xiaotao said.

If it were Angel who performed, he really wasn't confident that he could get Xiao Xiaotao's attention.

 A few seconds later, Angel landed safely. He landed at the junction of the wasteland and the needle forest.

The reason why it did not fall near the Crystal Cabin is because every hair in the needle forest is entangled with the power of memory. If Angel descends into the needle forest, his consciousness will most likely be intertwined with these hair-tangled memories, resulting in some unnecessary consequences.

The best way is to descend into the wasteland and let Laplace lead him in.

Similarly, this time it was the black-haired Laplace who came just now.

She led Angel and walked quickly towards the Crystal House. As she walked, she talked about Xiao Xiaotao's situation: "I just had a chat with her. She will probably stay in the oil painting for ten minutes. What do you have? If you have any questions, feel free to ask her.”

“However, there are rules for asking her questions.”

"She can answer any ordinary questions you want, no limit to the number of times; but if it involves questions about fate and secret knowledge, according to her rules, she can only answer three."

“You need to be careful when asking these three questions. Because if she can’t answer them, it’s still a question.”

“We can discuss it first if we want to ask any questions, especially secret ones... Maybe I know some of the questions.”

 Ask Laplace and she can answer Angel without any restrictions. But if you ask Xiao Xiaotao, it will consume one question opportunity.

 So, for some secret issues, you can discuss it with Laplace first. In this way, wasted opportunities are avoided.

While Angel nodded, he secretly discussed with Laplace how to ask the question.

 Finally they identified three issues.

Two of the questions are related to Ingres, and the other question is asked by Laplace.

Originally, Angel was too embarrassed to take up the opportunity to ask questions. He felt that he had not contributed much, and it was enough to ask ordinary questions.

However, Laplace said very bluntly: "I am not at all confused, and she may not know the path I am pursuing."

What Laplace said was not a lie. If she hadn't thought that the mysterious spirit might improve Angel's alchemy skills, she wouldn't even bother to pay attention to Xiao Xiaotao.

 Laplace also didn't care about the three opportunities given by Xiao Xiaotao to ask questions.

If Angel didn't insist, she wouldn't even want to ask a question.

 In short, the final question allocation is like this. Common questions will be asked after the general questions. Within ten minutes, three secret questions will be asked first.

 Soon, they arrived at the Crystal Cabin.

  Xiao Xiaotao in the oil painting is already waiting impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, another interviewee is about to reach the second level, I have to go back quickly. If you have any questions, ask them quickly."

 Ingres and Laplace looked at each other, then he took a step back, and Laplace stepped forward first to ask the first question.

 It was Angel’s arrangement to let Laplace ask questions first.

After all, Laplace fought for the opportunity to ask questions. To show respect, she took the first place.

However, Angel did not know what Laplace would ask specifically.

Not to mention Angel, Xiao Xiaotao also stared at Laplace curiously: "Your performance just now was wonderful. If you were in the theater, I would give you a pass for the second round of interviews... What do you want to ask? ?"

Laplace wanted to say that she had nothing to ask...but considering the agreement with Angel, she still did not say what was in her heart.

Instead, he said calmly: "I am using up the opportunity to ask a secret question. As for the specific question, I will not ask it. You can simply tell me a secret message related to the Mirror Realm or the Wizarding World that neither he nor I know. Remember, keep it short.”

 Laplace still wanted to give Angel more time, so he asked such a question.

"Is it so casual?" Xiao Xiaotao muttered: "You ask this question, but I don't know what to say."

Laplace’s question seems random, but it’s actually not that random.

 Not only tested Xiao Xiaotao's intelligence range, but also tested Xiao Xiaotao's ability.

You must know that her question has two "premises": first, there is secret information that neither she nor Angel knows. Second, the scope of the secret information is limited to the Mirror Realm and the Wizarding World.

Angel is too young and may not know much secret information; but Laplace is different. She sits on the Sea of ​​Sky Mirrors, an information network that can connect all realms. The information she has learned can be found in countless pan-dimensional places. noodle.

He has a very deep understanding of the Mirror Realm’s own intelligence.

 Information about the wizarding world is often told by wise masters, and she also knows it very well.

 So, if the information Xiao Xiaotao tells is known information, it means that Xiao Xiaotao's screening ability is very weak.

After that, Angel asked a question, and he probably needed to adjust his strategy.

It can be said that Laplace's seemingly random question is not only testing Xiao Xiaotao's ability, but also setting a model for Angel's subsequent questions.
