Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3988 New Awakener

"Hello, Ms. Lizzie..."

April 1st huddled in the corner and waved to Lizzie in a dry voice.

——The reason why he huddled in the corner was because he was sitting side by side with Lizzie. If it was [Xiao Niang Lizzie], it would be fine; but now that he had confirmed that this was [Real Lizzie], he was a little scared, huddled on the edge of the chair, leaning against the corner, looking like someone who wanted to bully him.

Lizzie nodded with a smile: "You too, after all, this is the first time we meet in a dream."

Although Lizi was smiling, April 1st felt a chill on the back of his neck. He quickly turned his head away, not daring to look at Lizi any longer.

"Mr. Angel, I didn't go offline just now, it's..."

Angel: "I understand. Ms. Lizzie told me."

April 1st's eyes lit up: "Have you reached an agreement with Ms. Liz?"

Angel: "Ms. Lizzie and I don't have any opinions to reach an agreement on. I just invited Ms. Lizzie to have a meal here."

Although Lizzie had entered the copy a quarter of an hour ago.

But Angel didn't chat too much with Lizzie. He just chatted about some ordinary topics and invited Lizzie to have a meal here.

Lizzie was not in the private room nearly half of the time, but went to chat with the front desk clerk of the private shop.

It seems like he is asking questions.

The waiter was obviously very familiar with Lizzie and they chatted intimately for a while.

Lizzie waited until the sweet bean paste was ready before returning to the private room, and then April 1st went online.

April 1st thought for a moment and muttered, "That's right, sir, there is no need for you and Ms. Liz to agree on anything. It's me who wants to reach a consensus with Ms. Liz..."

"But what should I do? Should I take Ms. Lizzie out for a walk?"

Hearing April 1st's mumbling, Angel couldn't help but ask, "Do you know more about Modern City, or does Ms. Liz know more about this place?"

April 1: "...Ms. Lizzie, of course."

Angel: "That's it."

Where can I take Lizzie out on April 1st? Maybe a day trip to the bakery?

Therefore, the best way to make Liz agree with April 1st's point of view is to let her see it for herself.

That's why, after Lizzie came online, Angel didn't waste time explaining to her.

Instead of explaining to others, it would be better for her to witness it herself.

Wasn’t her conversation with the front desk clerk just now a witness to this?

April 1st turned to look at Lizzie and said hesitantly, "Ms. Lizzie, the dream of the small garden really exists..."

Lizzie glanced at April 1st and did not answer immediately. Instead, she chewed slowly and swallowed the last mouthful of sweet bean paste in her mouth, then rinsed her mouth with water.

I put away all the dishes and washed my hands.

Then he said, "You must have taken sleeping pills before coming in, right?"

April 1st was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why Liz suddenly asked this, he nodded and said, "I ate two."

Lizzie turned to look at April 1st: "Do you remember that the boxes of sleeping pills are colored?"

April 1st was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Isn't the box yellow? There is a capsule boy pattern on it. Hey, that's not right. I took pills, why is there a capsule pattern on the box?"

Lizzie gave him a deep look and said, "I swapped the boxes of sleeping pills and capsules before."

April 1: “???”

Lizzie: "Now I am sure that you are indeed April 1st, not the dream person created by Mr. Angel."

April 1st: “…” Are such details necessary?

He understood now that Lizzie suspected that he was fake, so she asked a real-life question.

Moreover, Lizzie exchanged the medicine boxes before entering the box garden, which means she had made such arrangements a long time ago.

This is too cautious.

Lizzie didn't care about April 1st's resentful look, but said slowly: "Mr. Angel said before that he is not from Modern City, or even from our world. I can't make a judgment at the moment, but I will believe it for the time being."

"Whether the box garden is real or not, I will go and see it with my own eyes."

Both April 1st and Ingres had said that from then on, unless unexpected events occurred, she would enter this box garden when she fell asleep.

Then she still has a lot of time to stay here.

In that case, she will go and witness with her own eyes the truth and falsehood here.

"However, judging from the feedback from Miss Lu Shui outside, this place is indeed very similar to reality."

Miss Lushui is the front desk clerk of this private shop. Lizi often comes here to eat, so they have a good relationship.

In her conversation with Lu Shui just now, from the tentative stage to the deep conversation later, she didn't feel at all that she was chatting with a fake person.

It is exactly the dew itself.

Lu Shui could easily answer many private questions, even small details that only the two of them knew.

From this detail alone, although Lizzie could not fully confirm the reality of the "box garden", the balance in her heart had begun to shift.

April 1: "Of course! Because everything here is based on reality!"

Although he didn't know who Miss Dew was, he seized the opportunity to express his opinions.

Lizzie: "If the box garden is really based on reality, then why did your so-called great will create such a box garden?"

April 1st choked. He didn't know the answer to this question and had never thought about it.

Lizzie looked at Angel.

Angel knew the answer, but he didn't plan to say it. He just shrugged lightly: "If I could know the thoughts of the Great Will, I wouldn't be sitting here eating and drinking tea with you."

Lizzie did not comment on Ingres's answer.

She hadn't thought of considering such a distant issue right now, she just simply put the problem forward so that April 1st wouldn't believe too much in this so-called box garden.

Compared to such a far-fetched problem, what she cares more about at this moment is...

One's own identity in the small garden.

"Why do I have Ms. Vera's contact card?"

Lizzie pulled a contact card from her inner pocket.

This piece of clothing was the work clothes that Lizzie often wore. The inner pocket was always where important items were placed. After she came online just now, she subconsciously touched inside and found a contact card.

And the recipient of this contact card is... Ms. Vera!
This is the former president of the Fashion Guild! Although she has already stepped down, her status in the Fashion Guild is extremely high, and even the current president is far inferior to her.

Although she had met Ms. Vera in real life, she had only met her as an unimportant subordinate.

Contact cards are something that only the closest people have, so Vera would never give it to her.

So, why do I have Vera's contact card in the small garden?

Lizzie first looked at April 1st, who looked confused because he had never heard of Vera.

Lizzie could only turn and look at Angel.

"You told me before that you and I are partners in the box garden."

Angel nodded: "Of course, didn't you ask Miss Dew outside about this? Including this private room, it was also booked by you... To be precise, it was booked by Lizzie before she awakened."

"Doesn't this prove that you and I are partners in the box garden?"

Lizzie: "Then you should know why I... no, why did I, before I awakened, have Ms. Vera's contact card?"

Angel: “Of course.”

Lizzie quickly said, "Tell me the reason!"

Angel thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but before that I need you to understand the difference between an awakened person and a non-awakened person."

Angel did not hide anything. He replaced "dream NPC" and "gifted people" with "awakened" and "non-awakened", and then told Lizzie the specific information.

"So, when I go online, I become an awakened person, and when I go offline, I return to the state of a non-awakened person?"

Lizzie roughly understood that even the world of the small garden also had a set program to run.

It is impossible to make a person disappear out of thin air. If she goes offline, another one of her will have to take over the program.

"That's right." Angel nodded. Liz understood his story better than April 1st did.

Lizzie pointed at April 1st and said, "What about him? He just came online. Did he appear out of nowhere?"

Angel: "He is different from you. He is the first awakener. He is also the first anchor point that the Great Will left in your world across the boundless space and time."

"In a sense, your awakening was also influenced by him."

"I even suspect that when the Great Will created this box garden, he had already awakened. That's why his body disappears when he goes online or offline. Unlike you, he is the only independent individual and a unified consciousness."

What Ingres said was a little obscure, but Lizzie roughly understood it.

Taking the popular adventure novel in Modern City as an example, for some unknown reason, April 1st was favored by the great will and was given a unique golden finger.

Not only is it an independent individual in the sand garden, but it can also influence people in reality and bring people in reality into the sand garden.

This was the adventure of April 1st.

"I roughly understand now, so let's get back to the point. Why did I, or rather the me before awakening, know you? And how did I get Ms. Vera's contact card?"

Angell: "The essence of the sandbox is a sophisticated sandbox that is synchronized with reality. Under normal circumstances, everything in the sandbox is in one-to-one correspondence with reality."

"There is only one situation in which the story of the small garden will be different from the reality."

"That is, I was influenced by the Outsiders."

"What is an "outsider"? It refers to someone who is outside the established rules, such as me, a challenger who is entrusted by the great will to enter the small garden, or an awakened person like April 1st."

"Of course, from today on, you will also become an "outsider" and influence the development of this small garden."

Angel did not answer Lizzie's question directly.

However, Lizzie had already guessed what Angel meant: "So, after you, the outsider, entered the box garden, you got to know me, and then the me in the box garden and the me in reality took completely different developments."

Angel nodded: "Yes."

"Including the fact that I got Vera's contact card, was it also achieved under your influence?"

"Yes."

Lizzie let out a long breath. She now understood why Miss Dew had not changed at all from reality, but she had changed so much.

It's because before I awakened, I was a partner with Angel and was influenced by him, so I took a completely different path from reality.

"What is the relationship between you and me? How much influence do you have on me in the box?" Lizzie needed further confirmation.

Angel: "The specific relationship... you can find it out for yourself."

Lizzie frowned and subconsciously wanted to ask more questions, but she finally restrained herself. Because if Angel was really not the mastermind, and everything was as April 1st said, this was a box garden created by the Great Will, then she had no right to force Angel to answer.

Ingres and April 1st are different.

Angel is definitely a powerful extraordinary being...maybe even stronger than her.

Facing a strong man, her aggressive questioning would only bring trouble to herself.

"Although I don't want to say it for now, I can tell you that you should still be... quite respectful to me."

"Respect?!" Lizzie frowned.

April 1st also added: "Yes! It's respect!"

Lizzie thought of some of the things Miss Dew had described before, whether it was her coming to reserve a seat, or her bringing the iron box to request a meeting with Ingres... These did show that she seemed to have shown obvious respect for Ingres.

In other words, the other party is a "superior" to oneself.

It is obviously a bit against the will of Heaven to ask the superior to explain their "relationship". It is understandable that Ingres chose to avoid talking about it.

"As for the impact... it's not that big." Angel: "You and Ms. Vera have only been in contact for a day or two."

"For now, you are Ms. Vera's assistant."

Lizzie was confused: "Assistant?"

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

When she had the contact card, she kept thinking about what she would do if Vera used it to find her.

Now Angel told her that she also served as Vera's assistant in the box garden? !

What should she do?
"I don't know any details about Ms. Vera, and I don't know how to face her here." Lizzie said uneasily.

Angel: "I don't know much about the specific situation. However, you have only been Vera's assistant for the past two days. She probably won't let you do anything important."

Angel briefly talked about what he knew about Lizzie's movements in the past two days.

"But as far as I know, the reason why Vera noticed you was because I investigated something through you..."

As for what exactly it was, Ingres did not say.

Lizzie did not ask further questions, because she could investigate on her own. Everything that passed by would leave traces, not to mention that this matter was handled by "her", so it was easy to investigate.

"By the way, there is something I need your help with." Angel looked at Lizzie.

Lizzie: "I help?"

Angel pointed to April 1st: "His sister is missing..."
