chapter.40 The Prisoner in Prison
Of course, Chongzhi did not respond to her call.
Although Alice had expected this, she was still a little disappointed.
The effect of the language proficiency spell should be able to transform her words into a language form that the other party can understand... But the premise is that this translucent bug with bright starlight all over the ground has consciousness and is some kind of intelligent creature that exists somewhere in the universe.
.
She carefully observed the glass cabin in front of her before making a sound. Its structure was simple and clear. The four walls and the bottom were made of solid transparent barriers to form a fully enclosed space. The only entrance and exit was the transparent door she was facing.
The size is just enough for a normal-sized human to pass through.
Similarly, the third door she saw was also tightly closed, and the shape of the keyhole on the doorknob matched the holes on the other two previous doors.
Whether it is a strange transparent room or recurring doors and locks, these are obviously unnatural things created with human intention, and they have definitely become the deepest elements of the construction under some artificial arrangement.
At least, in her opinion, the seventh level of the mirror world was set up to look like a prison, responsible for imprisoning these weird worms that emit starlight.
Of course, if this transparent cabin could isolate sound, then her attempt would achieve nothing, but obviously...
Alice thought for a while and decided to rule out this possibility first, and put the key in her hand into the subspace. Almost at the same moment, meaningless and crazy noises came to her like a tide, as if to tear her thoughts and
The soul is pierced with sharp needles one after another.
She quickly retrieved the key and blocked out the messy noise coming from these translucent worms before clearing her throat and continuing to explore further.
The common language of the continent in the different world, Imperial language, Ice Plains language and Orc language... She repeated the same content as before in various languages, trying to communicate with the Starlight Insects, but they still lacked response; and when she
Use the transformation spell to adjust your vocal organs, and try to use Elvish, Dragonic, or even Celestial Language, and Abyssal Language to ask the swarm of insects inside the transparent hut. They always maintain a slow crawling state, and there is no response at all.
signs.
"...Also, if it is so easy to bring the existence of the world over there to this side, the so-called law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics cannot be established at all..."
After Alice switched back to Loen and whispered to herself, she began to search for commonly used languages in the sense of occultism in her mind, preparing to try them one by one, starting with Hermes.
But just a second before she was about to speak, the translucent worms in the glass house suddenly rolled up into a vortex as if they were awakened, as if they were thrown into the surface of a pond with boulders. The worms rolled and jumped, in the vast space where there was no other
On the transparent floor of any external object, a long strange figure stood upright, with no arms or legs, and it looked very strange.
The weird long shadow formed by the swarm of insects seemed to have finally noticed the visitor outside the house. It slammed against the transparent wall on the side of the door and let out an empty and illusory ferocious scream:
"Characteristics...Conservation...Extraordinary..."
This is not the Rune language she uses most often, nor is it any other known occult language or ancient language, but it is strangely able to make people understand the semantics and intuitively recognize that this is the true source of many current languages.
From a distance of less than five meters, she could even clearly appreciate the entire process of the strange shadow formed by countless translucent worms transforming into a pool of ooze.
After thinking for a moment, Alice took a few steps forward and placed her palms against the transparent outer wall of the hut. There was only a seemingly fragile barrier between her and the approaching worms. At the same time, she repeated it again in Rune language.
My previous question, and adding what the other party yelled before:
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Are you some kind of extraordinary creature?"
The mania and confusion surrounding the Starlight Insects seemed to be dispelled by her active approach and weakened a lot. They only paused for a moment, and then replied intermittently in a tone that was rising and falling:
"Extraordinary... I... am, I am... here... the Extraordinary... I am the only one, I don't... don't... don't know..."
Alice snorted and summed up the pile of worms:
"You don't know who you are or where this place is. You just remember that a certain extraordinary person sealed you inside this room?"
The multiple mixed sounds from the starlight insects fell into a brief silence, and then answered her rhetorical questions with increasingly confusing and illogical expressions, and sometimes even incomprehensible words popped out from unknown vocal organs.
It wasn't until the light-blond girl smiled and comforted her softly, inducing the fragmented consciousness of these worms to gradually unify that she finally got some relatively complete information from the "mouths" of the unknown creatures in front of her.
"No...I don't know...I don't know when I have been here, and I don't remember who I am. I don't know who exiled me to this space with nothing..."
"There's nothing... there's nothing here! There's no one else to talk to, no one else with a body, nothing... just myself."
"I don't even know how long I have spent here. For a long time, my only pleasure was counting the seconds in my heart, and every time I counted to twenty-five thousand nine hundred and twenty, it would reset to zero...
Tick tock, one, two, three, four...ah-hehe, hahahaha, when was that? A long time ago, a long time ago, so long ago that I feel sick just thinking about it... No, of course, I know I
I can’t vomit it out, and the times I feel emotions have gradually become less and less recently... Recently, recently... No, no, when did it happen recently?"
Alice looked at the group of starlight insects that slowly condensed into a distinctly human shape, and breathed out softly:
"The flow of time here is faster than that in the outside world. You should be glad that you only have your soul left and no longer need to eat and drink. Otherwise, as long as one day has passed in the outside world, the ten days that have passed here are enough to build a building for you.
It’s a grave.”
"Only...the soul is left?"
"But even if only your soul is left, you should understand one thing...your self-understanding is close to being shattered. It has been crushed by the cage of loneliness."
The shadow of starlight that gathered together to form a clear outline slowly raised his hands, repeatedly turning the palms and backs of his hands. The direction of his head gradually moved from his arms to his body, his legs, and finally he suddenly raised his eyes, letting his vision freeze on the girl just separated by a wall, as if
When he recognized her existence for the first time, he looked at the ragged black robe on her body, the fair skin and faintly visible blue blood vessels on her arms, and the calm look in her eyes as she looked at him.
"Why, who are you? Why do you know these things? How did you find this place?"
Even though there was no eye-like structure on the opponent's body, Liz could still smell strong suspicion, fear and a little hope mixed in the human-shaped starlight shadow, and she guessed it almost immediately.
What this guy thinks.
She angrily took back her hand that was pressed against the transparent wall, with an unhappy look on her face:
"Let me make it clear in advance that I asked for your identity first because I don't know you, so I have nothing to do with the existence that locked you here. I'm just a... well, a kind passerby who happened to pass by here."
"A kind passerby...?" The human-shaped starlight shadow repeated her title in confusion.
"Yes, that's right. The key to being a kind passerby is of course the premise of being kind." Alice nodded slightly, rolled her eyes, and smiled slightly, "Well, if I say that I am here to rescue you,
