Super Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 3815 Cage

"Then I'm sorry to bother you, the errand fees will definitely be high." Angel paused, and when he saw Xiao Lu turning around and leaving, he shouted again: "That's right."

Xiao Lu turned around and looked doubtfully.

Angel: "As for the ceremony I performed, I hope you will not reveal it to others."

Xiaolu made a "no problem" gesture: "Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth."

Angel smiled and nodded. He didn't know Xiaolu very well, so naturally he wouldn't believe her strictness. The reason why I mention it more is simply to deepen the impression of nightmare.

Through subtle influence, Xiao Lu thought he was being strict, but in fact he was just influenced by Nightmare.

Xiaolu swayed and left the room.

While Angel stayed in the room waiting for Xiao Lu's return, he contacted Gleipnir through God's perspective and conveyed the information Xiao Lu said to her.

Greipnir was on his way to the platform at this time. When he heard Angel's voice transmission, he suddenly said: "It turns out that glory refers to the beam of light used to select the champions of the three competitions..."

"Looking at it this way, the 'voice' may indeed be the video of the three major competitions." Gleipnir sighed with emotion, and then said: "Since you already have the video of the modern fashion show, then I will also need it here. Looking for images from the Prada beauty show?”

Angel thought for a while and said: "Let's look for it. After all, the clues of the three major rumors this time all come from Prada Media Company. Maybe the clown trapped in the lightless room at the carnival night only knows The sound of the Prada beauty pageant…”

Graipnir thought for a while and felt that this was also possible.

It’s better to be more prepared than under prepared.

"Okay, leave the images of the Prada beauty pageant to me."

After hanging up the call with Gleipnir, Angel looked in the direction of the star bug again.

Previously, after Kaushik brought Starworm to his dormitory, he acted calmly and said that he was just an ordinary old man. If he didn't believe it, Starworm could look for clues in the room by himself.

Then, Starworm noticed something strange about the "photo wall" on the wall above Kaushik's bed.

Because the dozens of photos posted on the photo wall are all photos of Kaushik's past.

Kaushik's NPC information clearly mentioned that there are some secrets in Kaushik's past. So he guessed that there must be key clues in the photo wall.

So Starworm began to carefully examine the photos posted on the photo wall.

Dozens of photos record Kaushik's past.

There is the bright smile of a child when he was making snowballs; there is the shyness of being unwilling to face the camera as a teenager and avoiding the camera; there is the glory of the youth standing on the top of the mountain holding a trophy; there is the adult standing on the top floor of a tall building, showing through The high-spirited feeling of sitting through the floor-to-ceiling windows and watching the night view of the city; but also the fear of middle age, and the confusion of living on the streets...

Through these photos, Starworm seemed to have seen Kaushik's life.

There are brilliance, glory, and troughs and despair.

But that's all, Starworm didn't see any secrets in these photos.

He tried to ask Kaushik, but Kaushik lowered his head at this time and said nothing or answered anything.

Seeing Kaushik's "silent and uncooperative" attitude, Starworm seemed to understand something. If nothing unexpected happened, the photo wall should be heading in the right direction, but he hadn't found anything unusual yet.

Only when the abnormal point is found can the next step be triggered.

This is like the former conductor of Xinghai Train No. 199. He was an eccentric conductor who loved complicated mathematics.

Anyone who wants to meet this train conductor must do a math problem written by him.

As long as you calculate correctly, the train conductor is willing to chat with you.

Moreover, the conductor treats everyone equally.

Regardless of whether you are a train commissioner or a robber who hijacks a train, you will be treated like this.

If you can't figure it out, the train conductor will never pay attention to you, even if a huge accident occurs on the train. ——Of course, if a huge accident occurs, the train conductor’s questions will be relatively simple.

In short, the train conductor is like a guide who needs to complete the prerequisites before triggering the next task.

In the same way, Kaushik may be like this at this time.

Only when the established prerequisites are completed will new changes be triggered. And the established premise here is definitely hidden in the photo wall.

Thinking of this, Starworm observed every photo on the photo wall more carefully.

This time, Starworm finally discovered something he thought was suspicious.

Although the photos on the photo wall are posted in a messy manner, some facing up and some facing sideways, what is certain is that the order in which the photos are posted is in accordance with time.

From children to teenagers, from youth to adulthood, from middle age to old age, and finally from old age to children... This series of photos is arranged in a circle on the wooden wall.

It seems to correspond to the side mission title "Time is a Circle" in the Kaushik NPC information.

If this ring-shaped photo corresponds to the title "Time is a Circle," then what does the photo in the center of this "circle" represent?

Starworm looked at the photo in the center of the "circle".

Not many, just four.

They are four group photos, corresponding to four different periods of Kaushik's life, and the subjects of the group photos are all different, including men and women.

From the photos alone, nothing can be seen wrong, because there are many group photos in the "circle". However, these four group photos are placed in the middle, away from the "time ring", so there must be a reason.

Since he can't see it, Xingchong simply took action.

He reached out and touched it, and then he found the secret of these four photos... These are double-layer photos.

In other words, the four photos that are exposed are all pasted on, and the real photos are hidden inside!

Xingchong looked back at Kaushik, and seeing that he didn't react, he secretly tore off the outer layer of one of the photos, wanting to see what the inner layer photo was.

And this inner layer photo seems to be a quarter of a certain photo.

Only the iron railings can be vaguely seen.

When Xingchong saw this, he already knew in his heart that this was definitely the secret hidden in the photo wall. As long as the outer layers of the remaining three photos are torn off, the hidden complete photo should be pieced together!

Thinking of this, Xingchong did not hesitate any more and quickly tore off the surface of the remaining three photos.

The inner layers of the four photos represent four puzzles, and when these four puzzles are combined together, the complete puzzle presented is a picture of... a cell.

The iron bars he saw before were the boundary markers of the cell. Each one exudes coldness and darkness, as if silently announcing the fate of the imprisoned.

And the person imprisoned in the cell... Starworm is very familiar.

Because that is Kaushik.

Kaushik in the cell, sitting on the cold stone bed, lowered his head, and seemed to be looking at the ground.

Seeing this scene, Starworm vaguely felt a little familiar. Isn't this the "silent and uncooperative" look of Kaushik before?

Starworm was stunned, withdrew his eyes from the photo wall, and slowly turned his head.

Kaushik behind him was also sitting on the bed, but at this time he raised his head, his eyes passed through Starworm, and stared at the "cell" in the photo wall.

At the same time, Kaushik in the photo of the cell also raised his head.

Staring at Kaushik in the outside world.

As Kaushik in the cell raised his head, Starworm finally saw his face clearly, which was exactly the same as Kaushik in the outside world!

It seemed that two Kaushik appeared in the same time and space, and they were still looking at each other.

Seeing this strange scene, Starworm felt a little creepy on his back.

At this moment, Starworm suddenly felt his body soften, and before Starworm could react, his consciousness fell into darkness.

...

Angel didn't expect that he just switched to the perspective of Starworm and happened to see him faint.

Yes, Starworm fainted.

To be precise, Starworm collided with the fashion monster, and his body fell into a coma, but his consciousness entered the "challenge space".

Angel didn't immediately check the situation of Starworm through the God's perspective, but looked at Kaushik.

Kaushik didn't seem to be surprised by Starworm's experience.

He bent down and carried Starworm lying on the ground to the bed. Looking at the unconscious Starworm, he murmured in a low voice: "If this is why you came to me, then go and give it a try..."

After saying that, Kaushik slowly picked up the four photos that Starworm had torn off before and pasted them back one by one.

After waiting for the photo wall to return to its original state, Kaushik turned around and left the dormitory and returned to the security office on the first floor.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

Angel observed Kaushik for a while and made sure that he had no other abnormalities before returning his gaze to the dormitory.

Angel glanced at the restored photo wall.

"Two Kaushiks, and the Kaushik in the cell completely replicated the Kaushik in the outside world...even the clothes and movements are the same, as if they are synchronized with the outside world."

There must be something fishy here.

And to solve this puzzle, perhaps only by completing Kaushik's side quest can we resolve the doubts.

After all, the various photos on the photo wall have already hinted that "time is a circle."

However, it is not so easy to trigger Kaushik's side quest.

Although Starworm has entered the "Challenge Space" now, he encountered a fashion monster, and the task he accepted was also a random task, not a side task related to Kaushik.

In order to accept the side task, Starworm probably needs to brush up Kaushik's favor.

But then again, from Kaushik's previous whispers, we can know that the fashion monster that Starworm encountered this time is probably also the work of Kaushik.

How did Kaushik achieve "artificial control of fashion monsters"?

If fashion monsters are not artificially controlled, how did he let Starworm fall into the challenge space?

When Angel was thinking about this problem, suddenly, he heard footsteps outside.

Originally, he was going to take a look at Starworm's task at this time, but was interrupted by footsteps. However, he didn't care too much, retracted the God's perspective, and looked outside the house.

Accompanied by the knock on the door and Angel's "Come in".

I saw Kalean, dressed in a neat suit, appeared in front of him. Behind Kalean, there was a teenager dragging two large bags.

"Mr. Kalain, didn't Xiaolu say you were still resting..."

Kalain: "Just now when Xiaolu came back, I happened to wake up. When I learned that it was Mr. Angel who needed these things, I volunteered to bring them here. It's a good opportunity to get out and stretch my body."

"And Xiaolu went to find the wax that you need, and should be here soon."

After Karen finished explaining, he pointed to the bag that the boy was dragging behind him: "This contains the oil paint and fabric that you need. Can you take a look? Is it the quality you want?"

While caring about Karen's health, Angel walked to the bag and checked it a little.

After confirming that it was correct, Angel nodded.

The next step is the transaction. According to Karen, both member points and modern coins can be paid. However, Karen suggested that Angel use modern coins, after all, member points are hard to come by.

However, Angel finally chose to use member points.

Because for him, if the main task is not advanced later, modern coins will still be useful, but member points are temporarily useless.

So member points must be prioritized.

After spending 300 member points, the two bags of top-notch oil paint and high-quality fabric were handed over to Angel.

Kalen was also ready to leave at this time, but before he left, Angel stopped him and asked a question.

"Can fashion monsters be controlled by humans?"

Karen looked at Angel strangely, not understanding why he suddenly asked this question, but he did not ask, but said directly.

"Although this situation is rare, it is indeed possible."

Karen briefly explained the situation.

In summary, there are two prerequisites for controlling fashion monsters:

First, find a fashion monster in an independent state. Second, have a means to restrict the actions of fashion monsters, such as some special fashion magic.

It sounds like there are not many prerequisites, but it is very difficult to meet these two prerequisites at the same time.

First, fashion monsters in an independent state are rare. Generally speaking, fashion monsters are "invisible". Only when they are attached to people and let people enter the "challenge space", they will show their bodies.

Therefore, if you want to find a fashion monster in an independent state, you must first have the ability to discover "invisible fashion monsters".

Those who can do this either have special magic or are extremely powerful magicians who are very sensitive to the fluctuations of fashion monsters.

Of course, there are other cheating methods, such as finding humans possessed by fashion monsters.

However, such possessed humans are also rare, because once someone is possessed, they will disappear in a very short time. Where they went, no one knows, but some people speculate that they went to a dark corner.

But this is just a guess, no one can confirm it.

In short, it is difficult to find independent fashion monsters.

As for having means to restrict the actions of monsters, although it is rare, it is much easier than the first point.

But no matter what, fashion monsters controlled by humans are few after all.

Because it is better to turn them into pages of magic books than to control a confused fashion monster, at least the pages can be used.

And the confused fashion monsters are of no use, at most they can artificially make some ordinary people become magicians.

But this is actually not very meaningful, because if you don't control the fashion monsters, ordinary people still have to go through challenging tasks to become magicians.

That's why Karen said "this situation is rare."
