Chapter 3851 Bet

Chapter 3851 Bet

"You can't touch me anyway, why don't we chat?" Gleipnir looked at the Carnival Night Clown not far away.

The Carnival Night Clown was hiding in the dark shadows at this time, with only his slightly crazy eyes still staring at Gleipnir.

"You want me to let you out?" The Carnival Night Clown sneered.

"To me, this is just a dream. Dreams will eventually end, so it doesn't matter whether you let it go or not." Gleipnir: "I just want to talk to you."

Gleipnir's expression was sincere, as if he was willing to open up to someone.

The Carnival Night Clown didn't believe it at all, but it didn't refuse immediately. Instead, it rolled its eyes and said, "Want to talk to me? Sure. First, tell me why your body moves without your consciousness, and I'll talk to you."

Gleipnir didn't know whether the Carnival Night Clown wanted to "chat". But she could see that it wanted to find out the reason, and perhaps wanted to continue to control her body.

"The reason is simple." Gleipnir paused. "Since you were able to completely simulate the appearance of the cellar in my dream, then you are likely able to send your spirit out of the lightless space."

"Then you should know that I didn't come here alone."

Gleipnir knew, of course, that the Carnival Night Clown was not trying to communicate sincerely but was trying to continue controlling her body, but she didn't care.

Because even if you tell it the reason, it will definitely not be able to get it back.

Carnival Night Clown: "You mean, there is another person who controls your body?"

Gleipnir narrowed his eyes. Its tone and answer were a bit strange...

"From what you said, you don't know that I didn't come here alone?"

The Carnival Night Clown snorted coldly: "I didn't go out, how would I know how many people you have?"

Gleipnir was stunned. "You really don't know? Then how can you simulate this place to look like a cellar? And it's so accurate?"

The Carnival Night Clown sneered: "Didn't you guess it just now? This is your dream."

In other words, the scenes in the dream are based on your cognition, so the appearance of a cellar is not normal.

Gleipnir shook his head. "Not only in my dream, but the outside world is also like the cellar, isn't it?"

The Carnival Night Clown did not speak this time, but stared at Gleipnir with interest: "What do you mean by 'outside world'? How do you know what the lightless world looks like?"

As soon as Gleipnir entered the lightless space, he was trapped in the "dream game" and could not see the situation in the lightless space at all.

But now she accurately described the appearance of the world without light, which made the Carnival Night Clown very puzzled.

Gleipnir did not give a direct answer this time. Instead, he said, "I was the one answering before. If you want to know, answer me a question first."

The Carnival Night Clown narrowed his eyes and ignored Gleipnir, muttering in a low voice: "You can't see the outside world, but you know the situation outside. And from your previous description, you don't understand the mechanism here, so you don't know the reason in advance."

"So, you were able to determine what the outside world looks like through your partner?" The Carnival Night Clown seemed to understand something: "Your partner went invisible into the lightless space? He controls your body and can even communicate with your consciousness through some method."

"So, he told you that?"

The clown on Carnival Night seemed to think that his reasoning was perfect. He was shaking with excitement, twisting his neck, and walked out of the shadows and approached Gleipnir, looking half crazy and half insane.

Although Gleipnir knew that it couldn't touch him directly, he still felt a little uncomfortable watching it twisting strangely.

"Am I right?" The Carnival Night Clown became even more excited when he saw that Gleipnir didn't answer.

Gleipnir silently glanced at the clown who was so close to him and sighed in his heart.

Although its reasoning process is wrong, the conclusion it draws is correct.

"Your reasoning is bullshit." Gleipnir looked at the clown calmly, "If you can distinguish truth from lies, then you should know that I am not lying. Your reasoning is completely bullshit."

The clown's originally crazy expression on Carnival Night slowly froze in Gleipnir's calm answer.

It didn't have the ability to distinguish truth from lies, but it could tell that Gleipnir was indifferent. She dared to make such an assertion, so it was most likely true.

"Just answer me one question and I can tell you the answer." Gleipnir looked at it intently.

The Carnival Night Clown originally did not want to communicate with Gleipnir, and the previous conversation was just to get some information. He wanted to find out the reason why he could not control Gleipnir's body, and then improve it.

But when it came up with what it thought was a brilliant inference and was even about to reach a climax of excitement, it was ruthlessly poured cold water on by Gleipnir.

This made it feel uncomfortable.

I can't wait to know the reason.

It didn't even care about the real answer to the question. It just wanted to know what was wrong with the reasoning that Gleipnir denied.

It felt like there were countless little ants crawling inside it, tickling and teasing its pounding heart.

The Carnival Night Clown was silent for a moment, then he whispered, "You want to ask why the Dark Room turned into the cellar outside?"

Gleipnir: "That is indeed the question I am curious about, but I would like to know another question more than this one."

"what is the problem?"

Gleipnir: "What is your purpose in coming to this world?"

Gleipnir originally wanted to ask "What kind of bet did it make with Paipai?", but after thinking for a moment, he decided not to ask that question for now.

Because she couldn't explain how she knew this.

Although Gleipnir did not ask directly about the "bet", she did not give up, but decided to use "leading" questions to let the Carnival Night Clown speak out himself.

"You were the ones who summoned me. Don't you think you're putting the cart before the horse by asking this question?" The Carnival Night Clown said this, walked to the ritual formation in the center of the cellar, and pointed to the ground: "Isn't this ritual for summoning me?"

Gleipnir chuckled. "The ritual only speeds up the process. Even without this ritual, would you not have come to this world?"

"So tell me straight, why did you come to this world?"

The Carnival Night Clown looked at Gleipnir with a subtle look: "Is it my illusion? I always feel that you seem to know me very well."

Gleipnir just chuckled and didn't answer.

Carnival Night Clown: "I can answer your question, but after that, you must not only tell me where my reasoning is wrong, but also tell me why you set up the ceremony here?"

Gleipnir nodded noncommittally: "As long as our questions and answers are equal, I can answer as many questions as you want me to answer."

The Carnival Night Clown snorted coldly and said reluctantly: "I came to this world for a purpose. I made a bet with someone, and I want to fulfill it."

"What bet?" Gleipnir asked immediately.

The Carnival Night Clown said nothing, but signaled Gleipnir with his eyes: "This is already the second question. You have to answer me first."

“Why bother with so much?” Gleipnir muttered. Seeing that the Carnival Night Clown was still staring at him, he said helplessly, “Okay, let me answer your question first. Your reasoning was wrong from the beginning. My partner did not enter the Lightless Realm.”

"How is that possible?" The Carnival Night Clown looked incredulous: "Didn't you just say that the reason your body can move is because of your partner?"

Gleipnir: "Yes, it's because of him. But who told you that you must enter the Lightless Realm in order to control my body?"

Seeing Gleipnir's raised eyebrow, the Carnival Night Clown suddenly thought of something and raised his voice sharply: "I understand, consciousness clone, thinking lurking!"

"It's just like taking over someone else's body. Your partner has the ability to separate consciousness and hide it in your body. Once you lose control of your body, he can take over your body? Right!"

The clown on Carnival Night became excited again because of his perfect guess. He even spun around on the spot, jumped high and clapped, looking very happy.

Gleipnir: “…”

Although its guess was wrong again, the result was actually pretty close.

Angel did not rely on the separation of consciousness to control, but relied on the Nightmare Node and the God's Perspective to remotely control. However, this kind of control can only be implemented in the Dream Crystal Origin, after all, he does not have the power of God's Perspective in reality.

"Answer me, am I right?" The Carnival Night Clown looked expectant, with a light flickering in his eyes.

Looking at the expectant and even somewhat pure look of the Carnival Night Clown, Gleipnir had roughly guessed its personality. Like the clown, it had a strong desire to explore, and would fall to the bottom of its emotions if it was not satisfied. Its emotions were changeable, exaggerated, contradictory, and weird, and it needed a strong sense of recognition.

As to whether he is as evil and brutal as the clowns in urban legends, it is still unclear at the moment.

But it is certain that its stance should not be biased towards the positive side. Even if it cannot reach the level of chaotic evil, it is probably chaotic neutral.

Gleipnir's mind was already full of thoughts, but in reality, it was only a moment. She pondered for a moment and said softly, "Although I guessed wrong about some details, the general direction was correct. I guess you were right."

"Ahahahaha!" The clown on Carnival Night looked proud as if "it's me" and turned around in circles in a weird running posture. His laughter broke through the sky. Looking at its face from the side, its grinning mouth almost took up two-thirds of its face.

Such a boastful person, worthy of being called a clown. Gleipnir frowned and said nothing, just silently observing its emotions... It looked like it should be excited.

Maybe it would be easier to talk at this time?

After the clown's laughter faded a little, Gleipnir immediately asked, "Isn't it your turn to answer me now? What was the bet you just mentioned?"

The Carnival Night Clown stopped laughing, rolled his eyes, and looked at Gleipnir: "You just said that I am petty, but you are the same. Let's put it this way, if you want me to be generous, you should first answer me, why did you set up a ritual here to summon me? How did you know me?"

Gleipnir saw its cunning expression and knew that it must be plotting something, so he was not fooled at all. "You should tell me the content of the bet first."

The expression of the clown on Carnival Night, which was full of "something fishy in his heart", froze instantly. After a while, he pursed his lips and frowned slightly in dissatisfaction: "You are not generous."

Gleipnir said nothing, but just looked calm and composed.

The clown bared his teeth in dissatisfaction, and then said reluctantly: "Okay, let me tell you first. The bet is for me to go to the present world, a place called Modern City, to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?" Gleipnir asked hastily.

The Carnival Night Clown bared his teeth and said, "This is the next question. Now it's your turn to answer."

Gleipnir shook his head and said, "I was asking about the bet. If your bet is 'looking for someone', then your answer is complete. But if your bet is more than just looking for someone, and there are other things to do, then these should all be put under the same question framework, rather than being split into several questions."

"So, your bet is just about finding someone?"

Gleipnir looked intently at the Carnival Night Clown.

The Carnival Night Clown's expression froze, and his eyes rolled like wheels, as he considered whether to "lie" or not.

But looking at Gleipnir's calm expression, it thought of the girl named "Paipai" whom it met in the dark corner. Every time it told a lie in front of Paipai, Paipai would sneer at it with a look of "trash", including its "goddess"... This made it feel some kind of stress towards "lying" for a time.

Judging from the appearance of this old woman, maybe she has the ability to detect whether people are lying, just like Paipai.

Forget it, let's not lie for now. Anyway, it's not something particularly important.

However, it was unwilling to tell the whole truth.

After thinking for a while, the Carnival Night Clown curled his lips and said, "The bet is indeed not just about finding someone. After finding the person, I will also do something for that person. As for what to do, this is private. If you want to find out, you have to use questions in exchange!"

Even if Gleipnir used his toes to guess, he could have guessed that the clown on Carnival Night had deliberately kept something back. But it was hard to blame him, because from the perspective of the "bet", he had indeed finished the story.

However, even though the Carnival Night Clown only said half of his words, Gleipnir had roughly guessed the situation.

According to the mission overview, the reason it came to this world was because it lost the bet with "Paipai".

Combined with what it said itself, we can know that Paipai asked it to come to Modern City to find someone and help someone.

And the "person" it is looking for, if nothing unexpected happens, should be someone from Prada Media.

It is even very likely that it is "Yusup", the current head of Prada Media.

After all, as the daughter of the former chairman of Prada Media, Paipai knows very well that the company will definitely fall apart if it loses the "Carnival Night Clown".

But the company's only "Carnival Night Clown" is still in her hands, and she has entered a dark corner and cannot return.

Then, the bet she made with the Carnival Night Clown named "Abigail Barbosa" can be basically confirmed. It is estimated that it is to come to Modern City to help Prada Media Company before Paipai returns, so as to avoid the Prada beauty show becoming a laughing stock due to the lack of the "Carnival Night Clown".
