Main Text Volume Chapter 91: Reversal of Reality and Illusion

Angel rose slowly, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes... I don’t know how long it took, but he still hadn’t reached the stone wall above his head!

This is impossible! Angel remembered very clearly that although the stone wall above his head was high, it was definitely not so high that he could not reach the top!

In other words, he is not in the maze of underground tunnels, but inside a certain building. Now that he is out of the building, the sky is above his head, so he cannot touch the top? This possibility is also very small, because Angel can clearly feel that the surrounding air convection has not changed, and even outside, it is impossible to be so dark that he can't see his fingers.

Angel secretly speculated that he might have accidentally broken into some kind of ecstasy magic circle? Or, is it a "ghost beating the wall"?

Jon once explained to Angel the phenomenon of "ghosts hitting walls". It is not a mysterious thing, it is just a subconscious movement of biological instinct in a state of blurred self-perception. And the movement of biological instinct is - circular movement.

So, in this absolute darkness, was he flying in unconscious circles?

Angel didn't know. He felt that his sense of direction was correct, but he did not touch anything real.

However, Angel did not rule out this possibility. Because his current state is very strange, his own gravity is extremely low, so he can fly into the air. When there is gravity, it can make him know the direction of the center of the earth; now that his gravity is reduced, he may also make mistakes in judging the direction of the center of the earth. In the infinite darkness, what he thought was below might be to the left or right. This is considered a flaw after he loses gravity.

How to solve the problem of "ghost hitting the wall"? Jon once said that there are four methods: "locating the direction with reference objects", "identifying the position in the starry sky", "concentrating on carefully observing the surrounding scene", and "carrying direct or indirect luminous objects with you". The first three methods are obviously very useful to Ange. Your current situation is not suitable. Only the last method is more reliable.

Angel was not a big smoker like Nausicaa, and he did not have the habit of carrying a smoker with him. But the absence of fire does not mean that there is no bright way.

Angel fumbled and took out the pocket watch from his underwear, deftly opened the back cover of the watch case, and took out the thin chip from inside.

This thin chip was the holographic tablet given to him by Jon. Angel once read about how to operate the holographic tablet. If he remembered correctly, there was a "flashlight" option in the control panel.

After Angel took out the holographic tablet, his tense mood relaxed slightly. At this moment of relaxation, he did not realize that the pocket watch he put back in his breast pocket did not feel as solid as he imagined. It has only one "shape" but no weight at all...

The holographic tablet was originally a smart watch with a watch strap. It’s just that the strap has been worn. Later, after Angel obtained the holographic tablet, he tied a thin hemp rope through the holes on both sides. Angel quickly picked up the hemp rope and tied the holographic tablet to his wrist.

After confirming that it was tied tightly, Angel controlled the buttons of the holographic tablet.

Press the switch button——

After a while, there was no response. Neither the system opening screen nor the holographic projection appeared in front of me.

Angel frowned. He remembered very clearly that not long ago he had passed the power test on the holographic tablet. With a full battery, the holographic tablet can be used continuously for several weeks without any problem.

So, what's the situation now? Could it be broken? Or, the special characteristics of the Nightmare Realm make the holographic tablet useless?

With a hint of luck, Angel pressed the switch again. Still no response.

"Damn it! Why did something go wrong at the critical moment? Come out!" Angel cursed in a low voice.

Just as he finished speaking, a strange change occurred in the mysterious world that he didn't know about. If it were daytime, Angel could clearly see that the holographic tablet hanging on his wrist had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The holographic tablet he originally took out, like the pocket watch, had only a 'shape' but no 'reality'. The essence is actually illusory, but with Angel's curse, the original illusory holographic tablet gradually appeared in real outline. It changed from virtual to real very fast. In just a few clicks, the virtual and the real were reversed, and the real and the fake were transposed. !

Angel didn't know yet at this time, and was still lamenting to himself.

When he pressed the switch button again with a trace of anger and vent, a blue holographic projection suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking at the system startup interface, Angel's eyes widened in surprise! Isn't it broken? Why can it be used now? Angel was completely confused. He was still a little angry before, but he didn't know whether to be angry or laughing at this sudden change.

Forget it, as long as it can be turned on. In a nightmare world full of unknowns and dangers, Angel has no time to think about other issues. How to reach the coordinate point provided by Sanders safely and smoothly is his most important thing at the moment.

Through the faint blue light of the holographic projection, Angel could vaguely see the surrounding scene. Although the view was still unreal, he confirmed that there were no monsters around him.

Angel quickly found the "Flashlight" function option. As he pressed the virtual key, the boundless darkness was broken by a long bright light. Like the morning star awakening the day, all the surrounding dark fog was swept away.

This was the first time Angel used the flashlight function. He never expected that its light would be so bright, and the intensity and range of the light also surprised Angel.

Looking along the beam of light, there was almost no end in sight.

"Good baby!" Angel's eyes lit up. Since he solved the puzzle of his mentor and started using the tablet, he had not really studied many of the tablet's functions, but only knew a rough idea. For example, the "flashlight" function, he only knew that it could illuminate at night, which didn't sound like a big deal. Oil lamps, torches, and candles could all illuminate at night, so he had never tried it.

But he never thought that its brightness was comparable to daytime, which was beyond his expectations.

Now it seems that he still underestimated the technical level of scientific and technological civilization. Many seemingly ordinary functions, just a sentence of introduction cannot really summarize its function, but still need to be tested in person.

With the illumination of the flashlight, Angel also has a certain grasp of the surrounding environment.

There is no doubt that he is currently in mid-air. The flashlight shines above his head and clearly sees that the top stone wall is more than ten meters away. It can be seen that he may really be blinded by a leaf just now, and he is moving in a circle on the spot.

Angel took the flashlight and shone it on the ground again. When the light swept across the ground, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Countless flowers grew on the moist land. These flowers looked normal at first glance, but under the strong light, Angel could clearly see the appearance of the flowers -

The petals, branches, and leaves were all fine, but the stamens of the flowers turned out to be mouths like humans, which opened and closed from time to time, and one could even clearly see the lips and tongue inside.

Countless flowers, countless mouths.

It would have been fine if Angel's light hadn't shone over there. When the light swept over, the originally silent flowers suddenly all became abnormal.

Strange sounds came from the mouths of the flowers. It could be laughter, crying, mumbling, or whispering. The flowers also shook, looking extremely creepy.

But none of this mattered.

The most important thing was that Angel actually found that he seemed to be able to faintly understand what these flowers were saying? !
