On the way back, Sanders noticed Angelâs furrowed brow: âStill pondering about the relics?â
Angel nodded: âI still feel something is off. Why did the image of a door suddenly pop into my mind earlier?â
âIt might just be an impulse,â Sanders suggested.
Angel remained silent for a long time. It wasnât until they were nearing the relic where Angel resided that he spoke: âI donât think itâs purely an impulse. When I recall that moment, there was a sense of spiritual connection between my intuition and some consciousness. In that instant, the thought was clear, as if Iâd perceived some crucial information.â
After hearing Angelâs description, Sandersâ eyes deepened slightly, as if heâd thought of something, and he murmured softly: ââŠa spiritual connection with some consciousness?â
Angel nodded: âThatâs the feeling. It sounds like I was enveloped by some consciousness, but at that moment, I didnât feel that way; instead, it felt very natural.â
Sanders pondered for a moment, refraining from commenting, and asked instead: âSo, what do you think? Do you believe thereâs really a map behind the door under the Star Pond?â
Angel: âAt least at that moment, I was convinced of it.â
Sanders: âIf there is truly a map, then at some level, in your subconscious thoughts, there is a connection between the relic where you stay and the one under Lord Rheinâs watch.â
Angel nodded, indeed; if maps appeared behind the doors of both relics, it wouldnât be easy to say there was no relation.
After contemplating for a while, Sanders said seriously: âPerhaps your perception is indeed correct.â
âYou mentioned that you feel there was a connection between your spiritual sense and some consciousness at that moment. Initially, it struck me as odd, but thinking seriously about what you said, it actually makes sense.â Sanders looked at Angel: âHave you considered why youâre the only one who has such a feeling?â
Angel hesitated a bit: âBecause of the Nightmare Soul Body?â
Sanders smiled and shook his head: âYou merely felt a connection with the relic, not with those Nightmare Realm creatures. Besides, there are no Nightmare Realm creatures in the relic where you live. These two things should be unrelated.â
Sanders didnât keep him in suspense and directly said: âNone of us experience similar feelings, but you do. Perhaps the real reason is that youâre the only one who resides in this relic.â
As he finished speaking, they arrived at the entrance of the relic where Angel currently resided.
Sanders pointed at the relic: âBecause you live in this relic, your aura has elegantly merged with it. And if thereâs indeed a myriad of connections between this relic and the one under Rheinâs care, then when you reached the Star Pond Ruins, you felt your spiritual sense resonate with some consciousness. This may simply be your aura harmonizing with the aura of the Star Pond Ruins.â
Therefore, only Angel experienced the sensation. This feeling wasnât born out of nothing; it was because Angelâs aura elegantly matched the relicâs essence.
Sanders: âOf course, itâs just a hypothesis. Its validity still needs to be proven by looking behind the door of the Star Pond Ruins.â
Only by confirming that behind the door of the Star Pond Ruins there are similar magic patterns and similar holographic maps can there be evidence to verify Sandersâ hypothesis.
As Sanders and Angel were talking, a slightly frivolous voice arose beside them: âWhat are you guys discussing?â
Turning around, they saw a glowing human-shaped light spirit slowly leaning forward from the tree trunk in front of the relicâs door.
Undoubtedly, it was Tree Spirit.
After Tree Spirit disentangled from the tree trunk, he cheerfully approached: âI think I heard you talking about the Star Pond Ruins, is there new information?â
Angel shook his head: âThereâs no clue, but my mentor proposed a hypothesis just now.â
âOh? What hypothesis? Letâs hear it,â Tree Spiritâs eyes lit up; he seemed passionate about any decrypting games.
Angel glanced at Sanders, and seeing no hindrance from him, Angel retold their earlier conversation.
Initially, Tree Spirit listened for amusement, but by the end, his expression slightly changed, frowning and considering: âI have a feeling that perhaps Sanders is indeed right.â
âRhein has stayed at the Star Pond for a long time without any sensations. Yet the first time you went, you had a scene like a wizardâs premonition; I found it somewhat puzzling when discussing with Rhein. But hearing Sanders now, it indeed makes sense.â
Tree Spiritâs eyes sparkled: âThough it still needs to be verified behind the door of the Star Pond Ruins, I already feel now there may really be some connection between the two relics.â
After these words, Tree Spiritâs gaze suddenly dimmed: âBut even if there is a connection, it doesnât seem to provide any effective clues. At best, confirming a holographic map exists behind the door under the Star Pond.â
Angel: âIndeed, unless we find the hidden room within this relic.â
If the two relics are truly connected, determining their connection and finding unknown clues, the only current hope is that hidden room.
The issue of the hidden room came back before them, circling around.
Yet⊠they were still at a loss.
There were no leads on how to open the hidden room at the moment.
Seeing both Angel and Tree Spirit showing helpless expressions, Sanders couldnât help but smile and shake his head: âThereâs no need to think too much now. Only when itâs truly confirmed later can we ponder other issues. If thereâs indeed a map in the Star Pond Ruins, it might contain some secrets, so overthinking now is not worthwhile.â
Tree Spirit pondered and agreed with this reasoning. Thereâs no need to worry prematurely over events that havenât occurred yet.
Despite saying so, Tree Spirit added: âAnyway, Iâll first go and inform Rhein about the situation. Originally, Rhein wasnât paying too much attention, but upon hearing this today, heâll probably go and investigate that passage within the next day or two.â
After speaking, Tree Spirit returned to the tree trunk, connecting his thoughts with the avatar within the Star Pond Ruins.
Sanders patted Angelâs shoulder: âIâll be heading back to the Puppet Hospital. If anything comes up, contact me.â
What Sanders mentioned about contacting again obviously referred to the Wilderness of Dreams. Because concerning the small-scale opening of the Wilderness of Dreams, they would soon detail the subsequent plan.
However, Angel shook his head: âIâm not going back to the relic yet; I want to visit the Mirror World first.â
