Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3961 Flow
"let's start."

Angel calmly spread his hands, indicating to Vera that she could use Heart Flow on him.

Vera looked at Angel deeply and summoned her magic book.

As soon as the magic book was opened, a strange black cloth emerged from it. The black cloth shook and turned into five square pieces of cloth, completely surrounding the place where Angel and Vera were. Even the ceiling was covered with a piece of cloth, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if a small black room appeared out of thin air.

After the black cloth surrounded them, the background color slowly changed from pure black to transparent.

If someone passed by their position, they would find that they were both invisible.

Yes, this black cloth is an invisible cloth.

But this is not the end. Vera quickly flipped the magic book again, and colorful luminous paint gushed out from the book. These luminous paints were sprayed on the invisible cloth, and they spread rapidly as if they had life. In the blink of an eye, two human figures were outlined - it was Angel and Vera.

"Graffiti boy..." Ingres looked at the "mirror dynamic painting" on the transparent cloth, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Vera used the ability of the graffiti boy to draw their images on the invisible cloth and manipulate them in real time. To outsiders, they seemed to be just as the graffiti showed: normal and friendly drinking coffee and chatting.

But in fact, not only did Angel and Vera not drink coffee, the atmosphere was not very friendly.

However, what surprised Angel the most was not the chain formed by Vera using the invisible cloth and graffiti, but her powerful control over graffiti ability.

Because of Dan, Angel had some understanding of the Graffiti Boy. Ordinary magicians could tell at a glance that the pictures drawn by the Graffiti Boy were graffiti, and they were static.

Vera's drawings are not only extremely realistic, simulating three-dimensional effects with a flat surface, but also able to continuously adjust the details to form a dynamic picture.

Even if the waiter passed by them, he would not be able to notice that the two previous guests had been replaced by flat graffiti.

This level of control over details is estimated to be limited even if Graffiti Boy's special form "Print Girl" were to control it personally.

He is worthy of being the double king of both the Dark Round Table and the Fashion Guild.

If the real body was here, he would have to use the double services of "person with a story" and "potential eye" to see where her potential and limit are.

While Ingres was sighing, Vera had already released the third kind of fashion magic.

At the four corners of the small black room surrounded by transparent cloth, a faint red pupil pattern appeared.

It has no support, no flesh and blood, just an eye with red lines outlined in the air.

Four eyes, just in four corners, stared straight at Angel, as if some special barrier had locked him in an "eye prison".

"What is this?!" A hint of shock flashed across Angel's expression.

If it was just the "Eye Prison", Angel would not be too surprised. What shocked him was that when he was in the "Eye Prison", not only his illusion body, but even his real body seemed to sense a huge red eye, staring at him closely in an unknown dimension.

How could this affect his true self? !

"This is flow." Vera also noticed Angel's shock and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When she saw Angel's figure floating before, she guessed that he might not be here in person.

Ingres was willing to agree to be in the flow state, probably because he felt that he was an illusion and the flow state could not determine whether he was telling the truth.

But what he didn’t know was that the flow state does not lock onto people, but onto the “heart”.

The "heart" in the idealistic concept.

No matter whether it is an illusion or the real body, as long as consciousness remains, it must be touched by the "heart", and then it can be locked by the flow of mind.

In this case, let alone illusions, even if Angel just descended into a void consciousness, he could not escape the source lock.

The auxiliary ability of flow is undoubtedly powerful.

After all, if you are influenced by idealistic concepts, it is impossible not to be strong.

However, it is not without flaws, such as slow start-up and limited range. If the recipient takes the initiative to walk out of the flow range, such as if Angel withdraws his illusionary body from this small black room, then he can escape the lock of the flow.

But Angel had promised Vera that he would talk to her in the flow, so he naturally would not leave the flow range at this time.

But he still couldn't help but feel curious.

"You just said that the flow is the ability of the mind's eye?"

Vera didn't hide it and nodded.

"Is the Eye of the Heart a high-level monster? I don't know, is there a way to obtain it?"

Such a powerful idealistic lock is so useful that even Angel is a little envious.

What he coveted was not the ability itself, but the effect of this idealistic locking.

If I could obtain the eye of enlightenment and study it for a while... maybe I could glimpse one or two truths?
Vera snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it. The Eye of the Heart is not a high-level monster, and there is no way to obtain it."

"Not high-level? Could it be a mid- or low-level monster? It doesn't look like it. Or is it that the flow is a hidden ability, so the performance effect is so strong?" Angel muttered in a low voice.

Vera did not respond. She had not yet received any information from Angel, so naturally she did not want to send any information to Angel.

Angel: "Or is it that the Eye of the Heart is a special-grade monster?"

Vera's eyebrows instantly raised and she glanced at Angel.

When Angel saw Vera's eyes, he immediately understood that the Eye of the Heart was indeed a special-grade monster!

"You actually know about super-class monsters?" Vera did not answer Angel, but was a little surprised. In this continent, super-class monsters are very rare, and only organizations that go deep into the dark corners have any concept of super-class monsters.

I didn't expect that this young man in front of me also knew about special-grade monsters? Could it be that the organization behind him was also related to the Dark Corner?
Thinking of the fact that Angel had investigated Alfred... a light bulb seemed to flash in Vera's mind.

Angel shrugged and said casually, "I once came into contact with a fashion monster called the Sorrowful Star."

"The Star of Sorrow?" Upon hearing the name of the Star of Sorrow, Vera subconsciously leaned back, as if wanting to stay away from Angel.

Angel looked helpless: "No need to react so strongly. I just made contact, and I didn't keep the Sad Star."

Vera thought that Angel was just an illusion and relaxed a little: "The Star of Sorrow is indeed a special-grade monster, but no one can withstand it. Anyone who withstands it will be bitten by bad luck."

"Even if you leave an incomplete puzzle in your magic book, you will suffer the backlash of bad luck."

This kind of misfortune will not only backfire on the host, but will also spread to the people around.

Therefore, when Vera heard Angel mention the Star of Sorrow, she subconsciously moved away.

"Just an incomplete puzzle will bring bad luck?" Angel couldn't help but feel lucky when he heard this. He had thought about it before, whether to collect the puzzle pieces of the Star of Sorrow by cheating. At worst, he could collect them first and then not activate them, and use the golden scissors to disassemble them and sell them.

Now that I think about it, if he really did that, then misfortune would inevitably follow.

The Daytime Mirror Domain was still shrouded in the shadow of disaster, and he didn't want the Dream Crystal Origin to also face their own disaster.

"Yes, touching anything related to the Sorrowful Star will bring bad luck... I'll give you this information for free." Vera: "But in return, you have to tell me that you really haven't touched the puzzle of the Sorrowful Star, right?"

Angel shook his head: "No."

Vera was slightly relieved when she heard this. She was really worried that Angel would come into contact with the Star of Sorrow, and then the disaster would spread, causing the entire city to fall into crisis.

"Let's stop chatting here." Vera: "I will activate the flow next. Just a reminder, when the flow is activated, your real body may fall into some kind of hallucination. This is normal."

Angel nodded.

In fact, Vera didn't need to remind him, he had already had some vague hallucinations before.

"Then start."

boom--

Vera slammed the magic book shut. The moment the book was closed, the eye patterns at the four corners of the small dark room began to emit intense red light.

At the same time, Angel's real body also hallucinated into a dark room with no ceiling, but instead a huge bloodshot eye.

His pupils were light red, staring straight at Angel, as if he wanted to see through Angel's body and see his true heart.

Angel was silent for a moment and set up a layer of nightmare illusion around him.

Under the cover of nightmare, the feeling of being seen through was slightly reduced.

But the lock of flow has not disappeared.

In order to break the lock of the heart flow, either Vera actively cancels the heart flow, or Angel's illusion body moves out of the range of the heart flow.

At the moment, neither is obviously appropriate.

"Now, the flow has been activated. Once you lie in the flow, the flow will naturally react." Vera raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to try it?"

Angel shook his head: "No, but may I ask, can Ms. Vera lie here?"

Vera: "I'm in the flow too, so of course I can't lie."

Although Ingres did not understand flow, he understood extrasensory perception.

Vera was indeed not lying. There is no distinction between you and me in the flow of mind. As long as you lie, it will cause abnormal changes in the flow of mind.

Angel: “Shall we start?”

"Okay, but I think before we start, you should at least introduce yourself?"

Angell: "Does this count as one of the three questions?"

Vera shook her head: "How can this be counted?"

Ingres remained silent.

Vera sighed: "At least I want to know your name?"

Although Lizzie said before that the person behind her was called Angel, who knows if this is his real name?
Vera didn't ask Angel's name, she was just waiting for the flow to start.

The flow mind doesn’t lie.

Moreover, just asking for a name should not be one of the three questions in Vera's opinion.

Of course, if Ingres insisted on not answering, or insisted on using one of the three questions to counter it, then Vera would have to skip this part and just pretend that his real name was Ingres.

Angel also realized that Vera, the old fox, wanted to take advantage of him, but he didn't care.

The name he originally told Lizzie was her real name.

"Angel Pat, that's my name." Angel said.

Vera sensed the flow of her mind, and when she confirmed that there was no change, she immediately realized that Angel was telling the truth.

Is his name really Ingres?
He dared to reveal his real name and he didn't lie to Lizzie in the beginning. At least he acted honestly... He shouldn't be one of those dirty organizations hiding in the dark corners and twisting and wriggling.

However, just in case, Vera decided to ask a question about Angel's specific background.

“My first question is, what is your background?”

Angel was silent for a moment: "This question is too broad."

"Background" is a multidimensional concept. It can be the accumulation of personal experiences, or it can be a comprehensive reflection of multiple fields such as history, culture, society, and academia.

Ingres could not possibly explain it all.

"You can understand that I am asking about your background, such as your organization, where you were from, and what the purpose of your organization is..."

Vera was sure that Angel was definitely not from Modern City.

Just as she had said to Lizzie before, someone like Angel would definitely not be unknown. She knew all the famous magicians in Modern City, but Angel was not among them, which meant that he was from the outer city.

Angel stretched out his finger and shook it left and right. "I can answer the first two questions, my organization and my past, but the so-called purpose of the organization... you can't use this as an excuse. If you want to know, you can ask me the next question."

Vera's silence meant consent.

Because she was indeed hoping for a lucky break and added "organizational purpose" into the mix.

…Three questions are really too few.

Angel chuckled and said, "I come from the Savage Cave and I'm a wizard. Currently, I'm a low-level magician. According to your classification, I'm between the hotspot and the focus."

Savage cave? Wizard?
Vera's eyes flashed with doubt.

Flow had no reaction, meaning that Angle was telling the truth.

She had never heard of the Savage Cave, but she had heard of wizards...but wizards were a profession from outside the domain, that is, from another world outside the void.

Vera suddenly realized something: "You are from another world?!"

Ingres did not answer, but looked at Vera and asked: Is this your second question?
Vera would definitely not regard this as the second question, but in her mind she had already changed Angel's origin from "foreign capital" to "foreign land".

Before, she had guessed that Angel might be an outpost sent by other cities, who also wanted to get a piece of the pie in Modern City.

But now it seems that her guess was wrong.

But this can't be blamed on her. Who would have thought that Ingres was not from this world!
Vera now really wanted to ask why Angel came to this world and what their purpose was...but she had other questions she wanted to ask.

Besides, that issue was more important to her.

Damn it! Three questions are too few! Vera regretted that she should have argued for herself.

Vera: "Can I add a few more questions? You can also name a price."

Angel remained silent and acted uncooperative.

Vera's elegant expression could no longer be held, and she cursed under her breath, feeling undecided.

Angel also saw Vera's entanglement. To put it bluntly, he did it on purpose... He deliberately involved the answer outside the world to divert her attention. In this way, Vera would want to ask more questions, and then some sensitive questions would be slowly let go by her.

As for adding problems and increasing costs?
At present, Angel has no such plan.

If the main mission in the future requires Vera's cooperation, it will not be too late to talk about it then.
