Chapter 1981 Ruins Within the Water <TOC> Chapter 1983 Repair

Angel didn’t need Sanders to remind him; the moment the passage was opened, the residual emotions that wafted out had already begun to assault his senses.
Under normal circumstances, Angel would simply block these emotions. However, now he needed to interpret these emotions, which meant he had to continue to probe this chaotic information with his perception.
Angel’s brows furrowed tightly; the tumultuous emotions made him uncomfortable.
Moreover, what vexed him was that these chaotic emotions had almost no substantive meaning. Many were merely sentiments like excitement, eagerness, trepidation, and fear… These simple and fragmented emotions were impossible for Angel to decipher any underlying meaning.
Even among the emotions that could be interpreted, none expressed a continuous or logical idea.
For instance, gathering, dispersing, lining up, moving upwards, heading downwards… From these trivial bits of information, Angel couldn’t extract any effective clues. The only thing he knew was that most of these emotions were likely expressed by the rainbow dragonflies.
Having once been in close contact with the rainbow dragonflies, Angel knew all too well that they would make the groups of rainbow dragonflies line up, form patterns… As to why they did this, according to Angel’s observations, it likely held no special significance and was probably just a form of training or simply for amusement.
So, when all the perceived emotions were similar in nature, Angel was truly exhausted.
Most importantly, all this information was fragmented, possibly left over from when a rainbow dragonfly passed through this passage days or weeks ago. Angel painstakingly deciphered these broken emotions, only to conclude with ‘line up in a row’ or ‘form a V formation.’ One could imagine his frustration.
However, this was unavoidable, as there were no other creatures from the Nightmare Plane in the passage, and Angel could only interpret the residual emotions.
Fortunately, during the interpretation process, Angel wasn’t entirely without gain.
He managed to decipher some useful emotions and extracted key information: minister, descent, repair…
These were actually a few critical words within a continuous emotional flow. Angel surmised that the expresser of these emotions was likely not a low-intelligence creature like the rainbow dragonfly, but perhaps a higher intelligence creature like the Frog Chanter or Fox Harpist.
It appeared to be a coherent emotional expression, but too much time had passed, rendering it completely irrecoverable.
Extracting these few keywords had already exhausted all of Angel’s mental effort.
In fact, within this continuous flow of emotions, Angel had read some information, but it was all unclear content. The only words he understood were——
Minister, descent, repair.
Just seeing the title “minister” gave Angel some ominous thoughts. Anyone referred to as a minister must possess no small amount of strength.
It’s worth noting that no matter how much the creatures of the Nightmare Plane had wreaked havoc, not a single minister had appeared.
Angel had encountered something related to a minister before, the spotted puppy in Sleepless City, which was a minister’s pet. If nothing else, that spotted puppy itself was likely a living version of a Mysterious Object.
If the pets are Mysterious Objects, Angel couldn’t begin to imagine how powerful the minister himself must be.
Angel shivered and dared not ponder further. He decided to put this information aside for now and continue to interpret the other surging emotional fragments.
However, the emotions involved next had no clues worth noting.
As Angel was enveloped by these chaotic and vague emotions, a distinctly clearer emotion was captured by him.
When Angel deciphered the content of this emotion, he suddenly froze.
“Your Excellency… Shava.”
To some extent, Shava represented both Angel and the unknown entities of the Nightmare Plane. Therefore, when Angel perceived this emotion, he was genuinely startled.
Could it be that Shava has also come to this ruin?
But then, thinking it over, Angel felt something was wrong. A legendary otherworldly life form entering the Wizarding World would cause a stir; could a being of Shava’s realm really descend into the Wizarding World so smoothly?
Moreover, what was most peculiar was why this emotion was clearer than the others, as if it had just drifted out…
Just now? A thud in his heart, Angel realized something and abruptly opened his eyes.
He was still standing over the Star Pool, but the passage to the ruin had already closed. Opposite him, Sanders was frowning deeply, with a mist of light lingering on his hands, obviously the one who had closed the passage.
Angel looked down at the shimmering surface of the starlight. He was familiar with it and, after a moment of concentration, saw the situation beyond the ruin in the water.
It was still a deep, endless passage, no different from before.
“Mentor, what happened?” Angel looked up and asked.
Sanders narrowed his eyes, casting a deep glance at the dark passage beneath the water, then turned to Angel and said, “We’ll talk later, head to the observation pavilion first.”
When they returned to the observation pavilion, Sanders pondered for a while before saying, “Did you perceive anything unusual just now?”
“The surging residual emotions were all chaotic and vague. But at the last moment, I sensed a very clear emotion, as if it had just dispersed.” Angel replied, “He was calling Shava’s name.”
After Angel spoke, he asked, “Could it be that some creature from the Nightmare Plane appeared just now?”
Angel speculated this because of Sanders’ unusual behavior and the information that seemed to whisper in his ear. It was as if a creature was calling out to him from across him.
Sanders fell silent for a moment, then nodded, “There probably was a creature from the Nightmare Plane, but I didn’t see what it looked like.”
“I only saw a pair of shoes.”
At the end of the corridor within sight, where light and darkness finally met, Sanders saw a pair of shoes appear there.
They were a pair of very plain-looking leather shoes.
And above the leather shoes was the dark area where light and darkness divided, so nothing was clear.
The moment Sanders saw those leather shoes, a sense of imminent danger rose in his heart, and he immediately closed the gate of the ruins.
He was even ready to run away with Angel.
However, it seemed that the other party wasn’t planning to come out but just stood at the junction of light and darkness for a moment before slowly retreating into the darkness. At the same time, Angel happened to awaken from interpreting the emotions.
Sanders shared the information he saw: “If nothing unexpected, the emotion you sensed just now probably came from that creature of the Nightmare Plane.”
