Chapter 2873 The Tightrope Walker

The tooth fairy, who was born nearly a thousand years ago, has never dreamed?

Does this mean that the connection between the dream world and the mirror world is actually getting less and less close? In the recent period, there is even a subtle disconnection?

When Angel frowned and pondered, Laplace asked: "Do you have any ideas?"

Angel did not hide his thoughts and spoke out his thoughts.

After listening, Laplace asked in confusion: "You mean that not dreaming is related to the disconnection of the dream world. You must be within the influence of the dream world to dream?"

Angel: "That's not necessarily the case."

Freud once shared some of his thoughts on dreams with Angel.

Dreams are actually a window for tangible consciousness to see intangible consciousness.

In short, the essence of "dreams" is to reflect the disordered emotions buried deep in people's hearts. These disordered emotions are born under the influence of the subconscious. When you have autonomous consciousness, it is difficult to peek into the true face of these disordered emotions.

And dreams become a channel for autonomous consciousness to perceive disordered emotions.

This interpretation, if analyzed carefully, will find that it contains the view of "egoism".

Dreams are born from the heart, and the heart is me.

In this way, it seems that dreams have nothing to do with the dream world, but only with me.

In fact, this is not the case.

In Freud's explanation, the dream world is relatively obscure, which is probably due to the rigor of the profession. Freud was once an apprentice of the dream department, and his explanation is more inclined to fundamentalism, which is a sect that does not allow any deviation from the research of the profession. Outsiders will find it vague and obscure and incomprehensible.

Jon once read Freud's paper on the dream world. After reading it, Jon made a summary, which is easier to understand than Freud's paper.

Jon compares the dream world to a "platform".

This platform can be regarded as a third-party platform. It is a platform with laws and rules to follow.

The dreams of ordinary people are like design drafts uploaded to the platform, which greatly enriches the resources of the platform. Then the platform integrates these resources into the pan-plane through coverage, enriching the fantasies of more dreamers.

Therefore, even if the dream is born from the heart, it is actually related to the dream world.

You can compare your dream to a key to the dream world. It's just that it's difficult for ordinary people to master this key.

Of course, Jon's "platform" metaphor is relatively superficial and has many imprecise places, so Freud has never taken it seriously.

But Angell still approves of it. It's not that Jon is his enlightenment mentor, so he approves it; it's purely because Angell found that the "platform" mechanism seems to be very close to the rules of the special world, but not so consistent with the independent real world.

For example, the dream world can be used as a platform, and the same principle can also be applied to the mirror world.

The broken memories and reflection spaces of the mirror world are resources uploaded to the "mirror world" platform one by one? However, most of the "resources" uploaded to the mirror world are unconsciously uploaded by the water surface, reflective surface, and mirror surface of the outside world, which leads to congestion of platform resources, so there is the huge "garbage recycling bin" of the Sea of ​​​​Empty Mirrors.

And the tide of the Sea of ​​​​Empty Mirrors is a one-click cleanup of garbage.

Nightmare World can also be regarded as a platform, among which Naraku City, Witch Town, Mysterious Tower, etc. are resources "uploaded" from reality to the Nightmare World platform.

It is precisely because of the commonality of these special worlds that Angell agrees with Jon's "platform theory".

Then again, since the dream world is just a platform, whether creatures dream or not is not necessarily affected by the dream world.

But why is the mirror world so obviously affected?

If it is just an isolated case, there is no need to worry too much, because there are many creatures that can dream, but do not dream. There are also some creatures that do not dream often, and it is possible that they only dream once every thousand years.

But it is different now. There is a widespread situation of not dreaming in the mirror world.

Including the little tooth fairy and Laplace, who could have dreamed, no longer dream. What is the reason for this?

Angell has a guess in his mind, but he doesn't know whether this guess is correct.

"What are you thinking about?" Laplace asked doubtfully when he saw Angel silent for a long time.

Angel pondered for a moment, and then spoke out his thoughts and doubts.

"Why don't people dream anymore... You said you have a guess, what is your guess?" Laplace paused: "If you don't want to say it, I can understand."

Angel: "Since I have expressed these doubts, I naturally hope that Ms. Laplace can give me some advice."

Laplace: "I have never been to other special worlds, I am afraid I can't give you any advice."

Angel shrugged: "It doesn't matter if there is no advice, just listen to my fantasies."

Laplace looked at Angel quietly, and finally nodded: "Okay."

Angel: "My guess, this may be some gaps between special worlds?"

"Using 'gap' may be a bit too anthropomorphic, but I can't find other words to replace it for the time being. In my opinion, the reason why the mirror world is drifting away from the dream world may be the influence of the world will behind the mirror world."

"It's like, it's hard for a mountain to accommodate two beast kings."

"It is clear that the mirror world and the dream world are both special worlds. The creatures in the mirror world are affected by the dream world, but the mirrors in the dream world are not reflected by the mirror world. If the mirror world is regarded as a person, isn't this very unfair to it?"

Laplace: "So you think that the world will behind the mirror world has intentionally or unintentionally contributed to the current situation."

Angel nodded: "Yes, it can make creatures that can dream suddenly unable to dream. This kind of power may only be achieved by the world will of the mirror world."

Laplace thought for a while: "What you said makes sense, but this is too far from my level, and I can't give any advice."

Angel: "I am just an unrealistic fantasy, it doesn't matter."

After a pause, Angel continued : "If my fantasy has a little bit of possibility, I guess that even though the mirror world is drifting away from the dream world, it should not be completely decoupled."

Laplace is not stupid either, and he immediately understood Angel's hidden meaning: "Because of Sweet Dreams?"

Angel nodded: "Since you can dream with Sweet Dreams, it means that it is not completely decoupled."

Laplace: "But, Sweet Dreams are mysterious things, can this be regarded as evidence?"

"I don't know if it can be regarded as evidence." After Angel finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "But, I think it's actually quite strange that a mysterious thing like Sweet Dreams was born in the mirror world."

There are signs of decoupling between the two special worlds, but Sweet Dreams related to the dream world were born here. Isn't this interesting?

Angel looked at Laplace: "The wise man told me that Ms. Laplace witnessed the birth of Sweet Dreams. Do you remember whether Sweet Dreams were born before or after you stopped dreaming?"

Laplace: "After you stopped dreaming."

Angel smiled and said nothing.

Laplace looked at Angel: "Do you think Sweet Dreams are also the product of the game of world will?"

Angel: "I dare not say so. However, since the mirror world has decoupled, I wonder if there are no actions in the dream world?"

Laplace thought for a moment and shook his head: "You anthropomorphize the world will too much. The world will does not have such human emotions."

Angel: "That's what I said, but the world will should also have underlying logic, or in other words, operating rules and systems, right?"

Angel has the experience of holding the power of the Dream Wilderness, so he can vaguely perceive that wills do not have wisdom and emotions, but they have their own operating logic.

Just like the power of "celestial change", if it was controlled by Freud at the beginning, it might not be able to run so smoothly. Instead, it is the power that is handed over to the Dream Wilderness itself that brings out the greatest role of "celestial phenomena change".

And this is actually the underlying operating logic of the Dream Wilderness. Even if there is no wisdom, there will be a mechanism to make up for it.

However, Laplace was not convinced by Angell, and still shook his head, "It is too far away from us, so let's just treat it as a guess."

Angel: "Maybe there is a way to bring this distance closer?"

Laplace only felt that Angell was stubborn, and she did not refute, but just retracted her gaze and did not speak.

Angel recreated the mural illusion, while slowly simulating the changes in light and shadow, and muttered to himself: "Sweet Dreams were born under the witness of Ms. Laplace, which is also a kind of luck for me."

Laplace narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"

Angel: "It doesn't mean anything, I just think that if Ms. Laplace hadn't discovered Sweet Dreams, I might not have the opportunity to study it."

After that, Angell stopped talking, but seriously simulated the changes in light and shadow of the illusion.

Laplace stared at Angel quietly. After a long time, she frowned and had some strange thoughts in her mind.

Although Angel seemed to be seriously simulating light and shadow, he was actually thinking about several questions in his heart: Is it really the gap between the will of the world? Is the sweet dream really the echo given by the dream world? And... Is it really just a coincidence that the sweet dream appeared in front of Laplace?

Even if other people knew all this, they probably wouldn't think so much.

But Angel was different. He had appeared in the established "game" many times along the way. Part of it may be a coincidence, but a larger part has been determined not to be a coincidence, but the influence of the Book of Kells.

It was because he had experienced too much that he subconsciously started the conspiracy theory.

However, deep in Angel's heart, he still didn't think this time was a "game". After all, if it was really as he guessed, it would involve the level of the will of the world. If it was really a "game", it would be difficult to arrange.

Angel temporarily put aside these redundant thoughts and put all his thoughts on deciphering the murals.

The analysis of the third mural took a little longer because the shadows were very large, and it would take longer to find the logic of the light and shadow changes.

Even so, Ingres still presented the analyzed painting within ten minutes.

"What is this?" Laplace frowned as he looked at the painting floating in front of him.

Compared with the first two paintings, which only had a throne and a person, the composition of this painting was quite complicated, with a large number of things to identify.

Laplace was not an analyzer, so it was difficult for her to immediately discern the logic, but as Angell told her story, she also roughly understood the general content of the painting.

If Angell were to name this painting, it would probably be: Road of Glory.

On the long road, a humanoid creature was walking slowly. He was wearing armor and holding a spear. He was the "new king" who was about to ascend the throne!

On both sides of the long road, there were cheering people, or in other words, a group of cheering humanoid creatures.

These humanoid creatures seemed to be the people who witnessed the "new king's coronation". They shouted excitedly for the appearance of the new king.

"The new king ascended the throne, the road of glory." Under Angell's guidance, Laplace also saw the "familiar person" in armor.

Angell's introduction was very detailed, and Laplace understood it, but looking at this "familiar new king", Laplace felt something was wrong in his heart. But if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Ingres: "The third painting is like this now. Let's go see the fourth painting now?"

Although Laplace was still a little hesitant, he did not express his doubts, but took Ingres to the hall where the fourth painting was located.

Perhaps, the weirdness in her heart can be answered in the fourth painting?

No words were spoken along the way. With the bird lights leading the way, they successfully arrived at the fourth hall.

The layout was no different from before, still with the framed murals and irregularly placed bird lights.

Ingres did not stop this time, and directly simulated an illusion on the murals and quickly analyzed it.

About five minutes later, Ingres successfully analyzed the fourth painting.

When Ingres and Laplace saw the fourth painting, they were all stunned.

Laplace: "This is, the wire rope and... people?"

If this painting is named, Ingres must think of "The Tightrope Walker".

Because the composition of the picture is a humanoid creature walking alone on a suspended wire rope.

And this humanoid creature is the new king they saw before.

The composition of this painting is simple, and the content expressed is not difficult to understand, whether in terms of extended meaning or actual meaning. The reason why Ingres and Laplace were stunned was because of some details on this "person"

Armor and spear!

He took off the bloated and heavy armor.

He also threw away the spear that seemed to be able to pierce the sky.

While walking on the steel cable, he directly threw the armor and spear into the boundless abyss.

This scene was the reason why Ingres and Laplace were surprised.

Abandoning the armor and weapons, and discarding them in the hard-to-find bottomless abyss, this represents his determination to move forward. At the same time, it also means one thing...

It means that their speculation from the beginning was wrong!
