Chapter 3862 "Reality"
Ingres actually had a pretty good impression of the clerk in that bakery.
I still remember that he was a young man, thin, dressed simply and cleanly. Because he was a clerk in a bakery, he was wearing an apron with a bread logo on it.
His features are not strong or deep, but extremely soft, and this softness is not only in his face, but also in his temperament, which radiates from the inside out.
Even when Angel used his extrasensory perception to detect his emotions, he was still gentle and friendly inside and out.
In this busy and impetuous modern city, this bakery clerk is a rare breath of fresh air.
Ingres inexplicably thought of...virtuous?
Although it is a bit inappropriate to describe a young man as virtuous, anyone who has come into contact with him will have this feeling.
At the beginning, Zuniga fainted on the street because of entering the challenge space. Polluted acid rain poured down on his head, but most of the passers-by around him just watched indifferently.
Only the bakery clerk took great pains to move Zuniga to the bench in front of the store.
Even though he was not doing well and had a demanding store manager who could fire him at any time, he still brought Zuniga, a "homeless man", to the front of the store.
I was worried that Zuniga would be cold, so I poured him a cup of hot milk.
But Zuniga hadn't woken up yet, so he kept waiting with hot milk...
Although it was just a small act of kindness, one could still feel his inner peace and gentleness.
In short, Angel had a good impression of the bakery clerk. However, in Angel's view, he was just an ordinary NPC, so he didn't pay much attention to him at the time.
Zuniga actually used "point-to-point news" on him?
"I used the fixed-point news on him, mainly to see if he had ever come into contact with the aliens, and whether I could find them through him." Zuniga: "Of course, I also wanted to repay the favor, to understand his identity, and what he might need..."
Angel: "So what is the result of this targeted news? You just said...it's related to me?"
Angel thought for a moment and said, "I did meet him at that time, but I was standing under a street light, against the light, so he should not have seen my face."
Zuniga shook his head: "When I said 'related to you', it wasn't this thing, it was another thing."
Zuniga controlled the magic book to search for "Daily News" and said to Angel, "I didn't really understand the fixed-point news that time, but it does have something to do with you."
Zuniga's words made Angel even more curious. Was the news about the bakery clerk related to him? It wasn't the same as when they first met. What could it be?
Zuniga didn't keep the secret and said directly: "I remember saying this..."
——"The man from the outer world once set his sights on April 1st, but it seems that he did not discover the "truth" hidden in April 1st."
"April 1st is the clerk's name, named after a date, a rather strange name. Maybe he was born on April 1st? But it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the 'truth' mentioned in this news makes me confused." Zuniga shrugged: "I don't know what the so-called 'truth' refers to, but the subject of this news is 'outsiders', which is you... You should know, right?"
Zuniga looked at Angel with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
On the surface, Ingres seemed to be frowning and thinking, but his heart was in turmoil.
As far as he knew, the status of the Daily News was extremely high.
Because of this magic, even news like "people from outer space have come to the modern city" can be detected.
This can almost be called a fourth wall-breaking hammer.
If nothing unexpected happens, the one who supports "Daily News" must be the power of Wonderland.
In other words, Zuniga's words can be understood as the power of the fairyland telling Ingres that there is "truth" hidden in April 1st.
And in the current copy environment, there is only one "truth" referred to by the power of wonderland!
That is——Dreaming of NPC!!
In other words, this "daily news" is very likely to be hinting that April 1st is the day to dream about NPCs!
How could Ingres not be surprised and feel overwhelmed?
In order to know the background of the world where Modern City is located, he searched for the NPC in his dreams for a long time. He even thought that there was no NPC in his dreams in this copy. As a result... Looking back suddenly, he had met the NPC in his dreams and even talked to him!
This made Ingres feel confused and dazed.
After being surprised, Ingres gradually calmed down and began to reflect on some of his previous judgments.
Although the "Daily News" is most likely manipulated by the power of the fairyland behind the scenes, is it possible that there are other interpretations of its so-called "truth"?
Because although the "Dream NPC" does not have very special characteristics, generally speaking, he will be more smart than ordinary NPCs.
Of course, in the highly realistic city copy of Modern City, this "agility" may not be so obvious, but with Angel's ability, he at least has some perception after seeing it.
But Ingres not only saw this clerk named April 1st with his own eyes, but also had a brief contact with him.
In Angel's perception, he really couldn't see the potential of "dreaming about NPC" on April 1st.
Therefore, he is now wondering whether his understanding of "truth" is slightly biased?
"You seem to have a lot of ideas." Zuniga's voice came: "So it seems that you really know what 'truth' is?"
Angel didn't deny it, but just whispered: "I have some guesses, but they haven't been confirmed yet."
Zuniga: “So, can you tell me?”
Angel shook his head: "I can't tell you about the great existence. However, I can clearly say that this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if I tell you, it will only be a piece of irrelevant gossip to you."
Zuniga looked at Angel quietly for a while, then nodded without comment: "Although there is no bonus from the Soul Rest House, I believe you are telling the truth."
"If it has nothing to do with me, then don't tell me."
After Zuniga finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to fiddle with the magic book in his hand.
Ingres frowned, turned on the God's perspective, and wanted to observe the clerk named April 1st.
However, this sight made Angel a little confused.
No, see you?!
April 1st is no longer in the instance! Is he gone?!
Angel quickly scanned the entire modern city from inside to outside, but found no trace of April 1st.
After a moment of confusion, Angel suddenly realized: Okay, no need to guess whether April 1st dreamed of the NPC. Since April 1st has disappeared in this instance, it is very likely that he dreamed of the NPC.
Because, only by dreaming about the NPC can you leave the dungeon...
When they fall asleep in reality, they will reappear in the dungeon. For them, this is a dream; that's why it's called "dreaming" of an NPC.
Of course, there is also a very small probability that April 1st is missing.
After all, this copy is a nesting doll copy, and there is a hidden level called "dark corner". If April 1st falls into the dark corner, Angel will not be able to find him even with a God's perspective.
However, this possibility is relatively small. The "dark corner" in the copy has not been activated yet, so it should not swallow people now.
So, taking all into account, the disappearance on April 1st could only be due to being offline.
The only way to go offline is to dream about NPCs.
"I didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, it turned out to be him in the end..." Even though Angel had excellent self-control, he couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
"Him? April 1st?" Zuniga: "What happened to him?"
Angel shook his head: "Nothing, just some emotion."
Zuniga looked at Angel's sighing expression, thought for a moment, and said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to say about April 1st."
"what's up?"
Zuniga: "April 1st did me a favor. Although it was not a big favor, I am not an ungrateful person. Before I left the bakery, I gave April 1st a pendant."
Angel: "Pendant? Is there anything special about it?"
Zuniga: "In that pendant, there is a sealed initial page. By using this initial page, he can become a magician."
Angel: "???"
Don’t all fashion magicians need to go through the challenge mission? Only after going through the challenge mission can the magic book be condensed and the monster illustrations will appear... Isn’t this the rule?
If everyone can become a magician by trading book pages, then doesn't it mean that we can just buy some book pages from ordinary people on the black market, and ordinary people can become magicians, too?
Zuniga saw Angel's confusion and shook his head: "That initial page is special. I got it when I traveled to the Fog Forest City."
Zuniga explained the situation in just a few words.
To put it simply, he once met a magician who possessed "Prologue: The Initial Page".
Because of this unique prologue attached to his magic book, he will automatically gain an initial page every year. This page can only carry low-level monsters of various categories.
When this page is filled with corresponding low-level monsters, and then disassembled and packaged, it can be handed over to ordinary people for use, allowing ordinary people to become fashion magicians without going through challenging tasks.
As far as Zuniga knows, only this magician who possesses "Prologue: The Initial Page" can bypass the challenge mission and directly make people become magicians.
"I met him once and saved his life, so he gave me a sealed initial page." Zuniga: "It seems to contain a plagiarist monster."
"This thing is of no use to me. I like April 1st, and I gave it to him to repay his kindness."
In other words, April 1st is now most likely a magician.
Zuniga said this with some trepidation: "Will my doing this affect you... and the great will behind you?"
Angel shook his head: "It won't affect anything."
It doesn’t really matter whether April 1st is an ordinary person or a magician.
Even if he became a magician, it might be more beneficial to Angel. After all, the world that a magician could touch would be wider, and Angel could also get more information from April 1st.
But these are limited to reality.
Zuniga was given the initial book page in the dungeon, and the things in the dungeon had nothing to do with reality. In other words, even if April 1st became a magician in the dungeon, he was still an ordinary person in reality, and could not expand his worldview too much.
Therefore, whether he is a magician or not, at least for now, has absolutely no effect.
However, Zuniga's words gave Angel a lot to think about.
In his established thinking, he would subconsciously think that the "NPC in the dream" was most likely an important character, or even the source of the existence of the copy, just like Uriel.
And now the emergence of April 1st has completely overturned this established concept.
Not only important characters may appear in dreams, but passers-by may also appear in dreams.
If he still holds on to the previous concept and ignores ordinary characters in the future, he might miss the special existence of April 1st...
This time, it was pure luck.
If he hadn't suddenly mentioned the fixed-point news and triggered the "keyword", Zuniga would probably have forgotten about it.
If that were true, he might completely miss April 1st.
"Although your reasoning ability is a joke, you have good luck." Angel looked at Zuniga and said seriously.
Zuniga was able to use targeted news to directly reveal the "real" identity of April 1st. This was incredible luck.
Zuniga: “???” What does that mean?
Angel: "I would like to say that with your luck, perhaps your daily news this time can solve our difficulties today."
Zuniga was stunned, then immediately smiled: "I thought so too."
As he finished speaking, the magic book in Zuniga's hand began to glow.
Zuniga's eyes lit up: "Here it comes, today's daily news is out!"
Angel looked over immediately, with curiosity and inquiry in his eyes.
Whether Zuniga can be as famous as Com and become the new "man of destiny" depends on this time.
However, Zuniga's magic book was not digitized, so Angel could not intercept the information and see the contents. He could only see Zuniga's expression change from calm to surprise, and even his whole body was shaking.
Judging from his appearance, this time it seems... stable?!
Ingres asked hurriedly: "Is it true? What is the clue? Is it the canvas or the tapestry?"
Zuniga looked delighted... and shook his head.
Angel: “?”
Zuniga continued to shake his head: "No, not this clue, it's my clue, mine!"
Zuniga was so overwhelmed with joy that he even had trouble speaking.
After a long while, Zuniga finally caught his breath and said word by word: "This daily news has nothing to do with the missing knight, but it has something to do with me!"
Amid Angel's confusion, Zuniga shared the news he had received.
"Daily News: The King of the Mountains, who learned the secret from the outsiders, finally got back on his feet after years of wasting time and started to have the Print Girl graffiti on the rented walls of various districts in Modern City. However, it seems to have been ineffective so far. Perhaps the Print Girl should not only focus on the surface streets, but also go to the underground streets, especially the narrow corridor that winds like a snake from the fifth town to the thirteenth town. Maybe the graffiti here will be appreciated by others."
