Light Spirit Epic Chapter 2700: The Trial of Flame (21)
Chapter 2700 Trials in the flames (twenty-one)
"Fish, it seems delicious." Seeing the fish meat reflected in the crystal mirror, and seeing the delicious look of the kitten that Mutter turned into, Mitch said enviously.
"Why are you watching me eat..." Mutter wondered, and even felt extremely ashamed. And the kitten that is now eating in reality is not himself, it belongs to the part of the consciousness of the beast that Mutter cannot control. The kitten ate the fish in big mouthfuls, but Mutter could neither taste the deliciousness of the fish nor feel full.
It felt so strange, he was like an outsider watching his body being controlled by another consciousness, and the beast consciousness that controlled his body was eating.
"By the way, why am I able to see what I see in reality in this mirror?" Mutter asked.
"This is the exit you used when you left the grain boundary last time, don't you remember?" Mitch asked back: "The so-called [leaving] does not mean that you are completely separated from the grain boundary, a part of you ------That part of the consciousness now ---is here to stay. And this exit becomes some kind of bridge between your two worlds in the grain boundary reality. It exists and will always exist."
"But I left several times..."
"The same exit is used, but this exit will also change position with the change of the crystal boundary." The rat-man boy subconsciously stroked his beard: "The owner of the crystal boundary is a moody guy. The structure of the grain boundary changes with his mind, remember?"
It does seem to be the case.
The exit from the grain boundary remains here in this way now, and Mutter can see what's going on in reality from here. But the next time the structure of the grain boundary changes, maybe this exit will go somewhere else.
"It's good~" Mitch continued to watch Mutter (the cat) eat the fish, "I don't know what the fish tastes like?"
"Have you ever eaten?" asked the cat boy.
"I've been trapped in the grain boundary for a long time. I don't need to eat to survive in the grain boundary, and there is nothing to eat. I have probably completely forgotten what it feels like to eat in reality, and how to eat It smells good."
Mutter froze for a moment.
If he wants something to eat...he pulls something out of his pocket. a candy. But the moment he did so, he immediately felt a violation. In reality, the cat turned into a cat without clothes, but the one in the grain boundary was wearing the clothes he wore when he left (Cairo) today. And before leaving, he ordered a few candies in front of the bar of the revolving restaurant in the Cairo Grand Hotel, wanting to eat them while riding the iron cavalry to kill boredom.
It's all exactly as he remembers it, even the candy hidden in his pocket. But shouldn't he be a phantom now? This is the part of him [left in the grain boundary]. Why did this phantom actually project the last state in reality when he had self-consciousness?
"Is this, candy?" Mitch asked when he saw Mutter took a few plastic-wrapped balls.
"Yeah. But I'm an illusion now, and this candy is probably just an illusion. I can't eat it. I'm stupid, don't care." The cat boy wanted to put away the candy.
"It's fine. Illusions can be eaten, too," Mitch said, before reaching over and snatching Mutter's candy.
"...Huh?" Mutter was stunned. It was an illusion that he couldn't touch Mitch, but Mitch seemed to have a way to touch Mutter---the specific reason he didn't understand anyway. Not only can Mitch touch Mutter, but he can also touch the candy in Mutter's hand and even take it away.
"The phantom you appear here should be the last body you remember before falling into deep sleep." Mitch said, "You remember that you brought candy, so your phantom also carries these candies. .Have you tried this? Remember the taste of it?"
"Eat." The cat boy replied. And have eaten more than once.
A five-star hotel like Cairo Grand Hotel will definitely prepare candy baskets in the hotel lobby and other public places where there are many public places for tourists to pick up for free. This is the basic common sense of the hotel industry, because some tourists may be hypoglycemic patients and need to add sugar in time in a critical situation; while other tourists with children need to use candy to coax their children. Even the employees in the hotel like Mutter, when they are dizzy after a busy day, occasionally take a few candies from the candy basket to replenish their vitality. These things are acquiesced by the hotel, don't do it too much.
Many people may not know that the free candy prepared by the Cairo Hotel is actually high-end goods. As a hotel employee, Mutter naturally knew. After all, this is a world-renowned five-star hotel. It would be unreasonable if it didn't even offer high-end candies to entertain guests.
The spherical candy in Mutter's hand is the famous "Jili Mazzaro Snow Mountain Brand" fruit candy. The outer layer is a hard fructose like ice and snow, which is extremely crunchy; The candy-like shape is full of elasticity and can release the sweetness slowly and the taste lasts for a long time. Its taste is the elegant taste that high-end candy should have. The sweetness and aroma are adjusted by professionals, and it has the perfect ratio of sweet but not greasy, fragrant and vulgar. A child who only knows how to eat sweets, the sweeter the better, will definitely not taste its true value. But Mutter wasn't just a kid, he was a big kid.
"Since you've eaten it, it's alright." Mitch interrupted the cat-man boy's musings, tore apart the beautifully printed candy wrappers from one of the candies, and shoved the snowball-like candy into his mouth.
Amazingly, he actually "eats" the phantom candy.
"Oh. Is that the taste?" He exclaimed while eating the candy: "Mmmm. It's very powerful. I didn't expect the candy to be so delicious now."
"...Can you really eat it?" The cat boy asked curiously: "This is obviously a phantom?"
"I actually experienced the [memory] when you ate candy." Mitch replied: "A part of you will always stay in the grain boundary, and naturally it also includes [memory]. This memory is like data, in the It can be reproduced countless times in the grain boundary."
Then Mitch suddenly had several candies that looked exactly like the candies just now. He "copied" the candy like magic.
"Are you going to eat all the time?" Mutt wondered. Knowing that the other party is experiencing Mutter's previous memories, Mutter inevitably feels uncomfortable as the party sharing the memories - as if his memories are being spied on by others.
"I can eat a few more times before I get tired of the taste." Mitch replied: "It tastes so good. What does it taste like? Is this candy only this flavor?"
"It's grape flavor." The cat boy replied: "This brand of candy has several flavors, but I usually only eat this flavor."
"It's not right to be picky eaters." Mitch suddenly added.
"This is not a picky eater. And it's a candy, no matter which flavor you eat, the nutritional content is the same." Mutter said angrily.
"Then you don't understand. Now you are entangled in the abyss." Mitch said: "In the crystal world, the master of the crystal world is God. He owns everything, controls everything, and knows what is here. Everything. He clearly lacks everything, but he leaves you in the crystal boundary, do you know why?"
The cat boy shook his head.
"Because you can bring him new [knowledge]. From your world, the real [knowledge]." Mitch opened another candy and ate it: "Which [knowledge] is official What's it called? . . . um, [information entropy]?"
"That is, if I give him more [knowledge]..."
"The abyss will slow down the erosion of you. Yes." The rat man nodded and said: "If you continue to live the same daily life as before, the master of the crystal world will probably soon tire of you. Right. You can guess what will happen after that. Since you have been targeted by the abyss, you must do more things that you have never done before, expand your horizons, increase your experience, and eat something you have never eaten before. Yes, enjoy what has never been enjoyed, know what has never been known. Presumably, if you keep providing the abyss with the [new knowledge] they need from the real world, the abyss will see you as a useful person, stop Corrupt you."
Mutter touched his chin: "So it is."
"Actually, even if I don't need to remind you, don't your subconscious take the initiative to do things you don't usually dare to do? You don't want to be swallowed by the abyss, your subconscious is trying to save itself, so you become bold "Mitch said slowly. He didn't say what Mutter did, but Mutter knew what Mitch was referring to. He blushes red when he thinks of what he has done in the past few days.
"Is that kind of thing also known to the grain boundary..."
"Of course, maybe the owner of the crystal world is watching everything secretly and enjoying it." Mitch said slightly sinisterly.
At this time, the scenery reflected in the crystal mirror suddenly changed.
"Oh, look!" The Rat Man youth prompted.
In the mirror, a tiger man suddenly fell to the ground. Mutter knew that person~IndoMTL.com~ Isn't that Albert's master Castro? He looked in pain, twitching a few times before getting up again. Other hunters approached to check Castro's situation, but the big tiger suddenly went mad and attacked those around him.
"Wow." Mitch is not too big of a movie watcher, and he enjoys watching while eating candy.
"What's the matter?" Mutter groaned. Castro did not go mad for no reason, it must have been an illusion or a psychedelic poison. He saw a leather bag full of water on the ground through the mirror, and then he remembered that the orcs at the scene seemed to be drinking water all the time, and the scene seemed to be very hot. Maybe the water was poisonous, and this poison was the culprit that drove Castro mad.
As expected, one of the hunters thought of giving Castro an antidote, and while everyone worked together to stop the tiger man, he successfully put the antidote into his mouth. After taking the antidote, Castro coughed a few times, and soon became quiet and recovered from the madness.
"That water is poisonous." Mitch also said, and he also guessed: "So many people have drank that water, then wouldn't it be..."
That's right, more monster hunters began to be affected by the psychedelic toxins in the water, and began to roar and go wild. The scene became extremely chaotic in an instant!
