Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3951 Disease
After chatting with Sigimund for a while, Angel looked at Hua Yuan, who looked obviously uneasy.

She looked around the abandoned church somewhat uncomfortably, sometimes looking at the human-machine on the stage, and sometimes lowering her head to look at the guide in her hand.

No one said anything, no one knew what they were doing, and no one paid any attention to her, which made her feel like she was superfluous.

This weird atmosphere lasted for almost an hour.

Finally, Hua Yuan saw Ingres's gaze change from an unknown state to looking at her.

Not only Angel, but Laplace beside him also seemed to have come back to his senses from something unknown.

Are they done?
When Hua Yuan had this thought, her heart began to beat rapidly, because she knew that when they were done, the entrance to the dark corner would probably be opened.

So, maybe she is about to say goodbye to reality and enter a dark corner?
Although Hua Yuan had always been skeptical about the entrance to the dark corner, her doubts were slowly being erased after she came to this special underwater space.

Especially when she saw the supplies refreshed and the ability of the oxygen factor that allowed one to go underwater without breathing, she became more and more certain that the entrance to the dark corner might be here.

"I..." Hua Yuan wanted to break the silence, but after opening her mouth, she didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Yuan finally spoke: "If I enter the dark corner, do I need to do anything?"

Seeing Angel staring at him, Huayuan added: "Or, what is the price I have to pay if I want to enter the dark corner?"

Angel smiled and shook his head: "The price? You can enter the dark corner, that's the price."

There was a flash of confusion in Huayuan's eyes, and she didn't understand what Ingres meant.

Angel: "Gleipnir should have talked to you yesterday, right?"

Huayuan: "Are you talking about the new director of Prada Media?"

Ingres nodded.

Hua Yuan nodded: "She did talk to me, but she didn't mention the price. The only thing she said was that she hoped I could bring back information about the Dark Corner."

Angel smiled gently and said, "Then do as Gleipnir said. As long as you can bring back more information, it will be the price for you to enter the dark corner."

That's it? Hua Yuan was a little confused: "Don't you want me to do anything?"

Angel shook his head: "No."

For flower wishes.

Angel didn't think about assigning her any task.

After all, she is just a gifted citizen and has no main storyline mission, so she doesn't need to spend any effort on it.

All she needed to do was to enter the dark corner and then return safely.

Angel didn't even need her to collect so-called dark corner intelligence.

Arranging Huayuan to enter the dark corner is actually more of a test.

It has now been confirmed that the Dark Corner dungeon is actually a real world. Huayuan is a gifted citizen, an NPC created by the power of the fairyland. In a sense, it is completely virtual.

So, can virtual NPCs enter the real world? If so, what changes will occur when NPCs go to the real world?

This is Ingres's purpose of letting the flowers enter the dark corner.

The main purpose is to test the mechanism of fairyland power and explore the boundaries of the gifted people.

During the entire test, the only "task" Huayuan needed to do was to return from the dark corner.

Because only Huayuan returned to the Modern City copy, they could learn from Huayuan about the changes that had taken place in her after she went to the real world.

This is why Gleipnir specifically seeks out gifted people who "want to go to the Dark Corner and have a strong desire to return."

And Huayuan happens to belong to this category.

Therefore, Huayuan didn't need to do anything at all. "Bringing intelligence" was just an excuse for Gleipnir to let Huayuan come back.

The point is not the intelligence, the point is coming back.

"You don't have to do anything, just want the information about the Dark Corner?" Hua Yuan was still full of confusion. You know... the Dark Corner is a place that many magicians yearn for. It is said that the secret of the birth of fashion monsters can be unlocked there.

Therefore, as long as Angel raised his hand and said that he could take people to the dark corner, there were too many magicians willing to pay a huge price to explore the dark corner.

But Ingres didn't do that. Instead, he chose himself without asking for anything in return.

Could it be that Ingres was attracted by her as a person?

Hua Yuan's cheeks suddenly turned pink, but she quickly shook off the ripples in her heart.

Judging from Angel's previous attitude towards her, he didn't seem to be in love with her, so could it be that he was just attracted to her body?
The "flesh" here does not have a literal meaning, but does not have a fanciful meaning.

As far as Hua Yuan knows, there are many crazy believers in the Dark Corner Cult who are willing to make cruel and bloody sacrifices for the "god" they believe in.

Although Hua Yuan couldn't be sure whether Angel was a member of the Dark Corner Cult, a magician who was proficient in illusion and knew the entrance to the dark corner suddenly appeared without any warning. He looked elegant and young, and his staring at people made people's faces hot unconsciously. He was very much like the villain hidden in the dark corners of the city... This is how it is written in novels.

And the villain of Modern City... or rather, the villains of most cities, aren't they the Dark Corner Cult?

Therefore, in Hua Yuan's mind, there is a certain probability that Angel is a member of the Dark Corner Cult, and he can also access the core layer of the Dark Corner entrance.

Such a suspected villain, without letting her pay any price, sent her to a dark corner. This made her think of some bloody sacrifices...

Maybe the entrance to the dark corner was opened by sacrifice?
And she is the sacrifice!
It is also possible that after entering the dark corner, you will come to a huge sacrificial site, where you will wear a white gauze dress representing purity, lie beautifully on the altar, and be offered to the gods as a bride.

Hua Yuan imagined more and more plots in her mind. Although she was the beautiful heroine in every plot, the results never seemed very good.

"Ok?"

Ingres felt that Huayuan's expression was strange, jumpy and frightened, but also a little shy.

He subconsciously used extrasensory perception on Huayuan.

The emotions in the feedback were equally complex, and inexplicably came with...pink bubbles?
"What are you thinking about?" Angel stared at Hua Yuan with a suspicious expression. Although he didn't know what she was thinking, it was definitely not the right thing.

"I, I didn't think anything..." Hua Yuan denied subconsciously. When she looked up, she found that Angel had been staring at her. Although he didn't say it directly, his eyes were filled with one word: weird aunt.

Hua Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She couldn't say that she had become a sacrifice to the gods in her imagination, right? Moreover, it was an abnormal sacrifice.

"I just feel that if I borrow the road, I have to pay some price, and then I can feel at ease."

Angel gave her a strange look and said, "Didn't I tell you the price? Bring back the information about the Dark Corner. It would be best if you could bring back the information about the Level Master of the Dream Layer."

Originally, Angel didn't want to deliberately draw the scope of the intelligence, but Huayuan didn't know whether she was too cautious or had a low sense of matching, and felt at ease only when there was exchange. Angel thought about it, and drew a scope for her, and clearly told her that the information of the Lord of the Layers, even in the dark corners, was extremely rare and high-end information.

When Hua Yuan heard the news, her previous worries were finally put to rest.

But she started to worry about how she would obtain such high-end information. Would she have to use her beauty to get ahead?
When she thought about relying on her "beauty", Hua Yuan didn't know what was going on in her mind and let out some weird laughs that were not presentable.

Ingres watched the changes in Huayuan's expression and the flow of his emotions with his own eyes, and he roughly understood what kind of person Huayuan was.

There is a rich inner drama, a strong imagination, and she always goes off topic when imagining. To sum it up, one word can describe her... weird aunt.

Angel shook his head and ignored Huayuan. Instead, he talked to Sigimund in the team chat about some details that might need to be paid attention to after entering the dark corner.

By the way, ask Sigismund to keep an eye on the mysterious child in Sisley's mission.

By the time we were almost done talking, it was already half past nine.

"Sword: It's time to go."

Sigimund was already impatient to step into the dark corner and start a new practice.

Angel thought about it and confirmed that there was nothing else to say, so he began to call Huayuan and prepared to open the Holy Eye Prayer Gathering Array.

When Hua Yuan heard that they were about to enter the dark corner, she woke up from her fantasy and nodded to Angel solemnly. But from her obviously shaking hands, it could be seen that Hua Yuan was still a little nervous.

Sigimund, on the other hand, calmly walked onto the stage after being welcomed by Dolos and Luliana with a pulley.

Angel could clearly feel from his extrasensory perception that his calmness was consistent from the inside out.

When Hua Yuan saw Sigimund go on stage, she hurriedly followed him. Amid the elegant etiquette of the two human-machines, she stood in the center of the stage with Sigimund.

One was extremely calm, while the other pretended to be calm but his eyes kept wandering, seeming very uncomfortable.

Angel took out a disposable crystal of faith and threw it towards the stage.

Dolos made an elegant round dance and easily caught the crystal of faith.

"Place it inside the magic circle." Angel said to Doros.

Dolores bows: As you wish.

Then, Dolos came to Luliana, and the two of them began the magic circle activation ceremony around the center of the stage.

As they leaped and danced, the crystal of faith slowly floated into the air, floating above the center of the stage, above the heads of Sigimund and Huayuan.

A large amount of halos were released from the crystal of faith.

These halos are the real power of faith, and one can even see the devout believers praying to God from the light and shadow...

When other people see this scene, they will not think there is anything wrong. After all, the "Crystal of Faith" itself comes from the condensation of faith.

Only Huayuan was looking at the flickering light of prayer, and the previous speculation surfaced again... Only the Dark Corner Cult could have such a high-intensity belief, right?
When Hua Yuan thought of all the evil deeds that the Dark Corner Cult had done in the past, the worries that she had originally let go of rose again.

She was already feeling somewhat uncomfortable standing there, and now she looked even more embarrassed.

"Flower wish."

At this moment, a pleasant male voice came into Hua Yuan's ears.

Hua Yuan raised her head and saw Ingres' bright eyes looking at her firmly through the gaps between the people and machines constantly moving around the stage.

Under this "affectionate" gaze, Hua Yuan's worries were slightly alleviated, and the tension seemed to decrease as well.

"Huayuan, come to think of it, I've always forgotten to ask you." Angel: "You said Rococo Rabbit has a congenital disease, which is why you went to the dark corner."

Huayuan nodded.

Angel: "I wonder what kind of congenital disease this is? Why do you think dark corners can solve its worries?"

Angel asked very seriously, but he didn't really focus on the question. He asked just to chat with Hua Yuan and distract her from her weird fantasies.

"Cherry thinks her disease is a bone disease. She feels unbearable itching inside her bones every day, and sometimes she feels burning, heaviness, or cold and light."

Angel: "Burning, cold? Sinking, light?"

Hua Yuan nodded: "They are obviously two completely different sensations, but they both appeared on Cherry at the same time. She has always thought that there might be something wrong with her bones. I originally thought so too, and took her to see many doctors... but there was no effect. Even after the examination, no lesions were found in her bones."

"Later, I became the future queen and gained some fame. A magician from the Glittering Gold Guild came to me to customize a special scented dye."

The Glittering Gold Association is the world's top academic research association, with its headquarters located in the birthplace of the horn code - the City of Glittering Gold.

The magician from the Shining Gold Association was traveling on the continent. After hearing Huayuan's name, he came to find her.

During the days when Huayuan helped her make scented dyes, she stayed in Modern City, eating and living with Huayuan. During this period, their relationship became better and better.

When she learned about Cherry's "bone disease", she offered to help check it out.

Although she is not a "doctor", there are many experts and scholars in the Flash Gold Association who study special forms of fashion monsters. She reported Cherry's situation to the association and attached video footage, as well as some blood and hair.

After research by experts in the association, it was found that cherry is not a bone disease at all, but a congenital dark corner disease.

"It is said that the source of this disease is the infection of the ether in the dark corner."

In other words, the reason why cherries show bone symptoms is because of the trace amount of ether hidden in their bodies.

"At present, the Flash Gold Association has no way to solve Cherry's congenital disease. But they also gave me a guide..."

“Solve the problem where it originated.”

To put it bluntly, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.

If you want to solve the disease of cherries, you can only go to the dark corners and look for solutions.

"Recently, the symptoms of cherries have become more and more serious. I have a lot of concerns every day..."

This is why, when Huayuan heard Gleipnir say there was a way to get to the dark corner, he immediately agreed and even sent the token directly.

Later, when he met Ingres, he followed him into the secret waters without hesitation.

Because she was really worried that Cherry would leave her because of her serious illness, so she was unwilling to give up even if there was only a slight chance.
