The gate of the transparent pipeline can only be opened from inside the dome, and now that the gate is locked, it suggests that the so-called void creatures have not stepped inside the dome.
Where could it have gone then?
The previous assumption of void creatures being here was due to the barking of the spotted puppy. Could it be that the barking did not indicate the capture of a void creature?
Angel couldn’t help but look towards the spotted puppy, which was standing by his feet, staring intently at a certain spot in the transparent pipeline. Although it was not barking, Angel felt that the puppy seemed to really see something.
If there really is a prey captured in the transparent pipeline, could it be an invisible creature like Boil Gentleman?
“No wonder I didn’t feel the hunting net being disturbed before; it turns out to be you guys again,” Boil Gentleman suddenly exclaimed with a sigh as Angel was pondering.
A group of them? Surprise flashed in Angel’s eyes. Were there really void creatures in this transparent pipeline, and not just one, but a group?
After sighing, Boil Gentleman made a gesture of stroking his chin: “Ah, such unlovable fellows, too weak to carry a dynamo, throwing them into the melting pool wouldn’t extract much energy, what use are they?”
“Last time I spared you and threw you back into the void, but you came back again. You’re not so lucky this time. Let me think… Da Vichyssoise said last time that he lacked labor for stepping on the furnace; one of you alone would hardly suffice, but since there are so many of you, combined, your strength should be suitable.”
“You guys just wait inside for a while, when I go to the Crossroads to fetch something later, I’ll take you with me.”
After finishing his words, Boil Gentleman looked at Angel: “I originally wanted to use a new void creature to demonstrate the dynamo’s function to Highness Shava, but it seems impossible now.”
Angel felt a bit regretful, but there was nothing he could do: “Then let it be.”
“How can it be? Although we can’t use a void creature, we can use something else. Highness Shava, please wait here for a moment, I will bring a servant over.” Saying this, Boil Gentleman prepared to turn back.
As Boil Gentleman walked towards the outside of the dome, Angel asked: “By the way, what are the void creatures inside here like?”
Angel pointed to the transparent pipeline.
Boil Gentleman paused his steps, turned his head, and glanced: “I don’t know what their names are, but they look like a bunch of snot jelly, a group of weak creatures wandering aimlessly in the void.”
He paused, then suddenly pointed to a corner on the left: “By the way, the one covered with black cloth over there is their kind, much larger in size, probably mutated. If Highness Shava is interested, you can study it yourself.”
After saying that, Boil Gentleman hurried outside.
Angel, however, was not concerned about Boil Gentleman’s departure. He wasn’t worried about being locked in here; after all, the spotted puppy was there. If he really got locked up, he could just let the spotted puppy break through the light shield to the void.
What Angel was now contemplating was Boil Gentleman’s words before he left.
Snot jelly-like creatures, wandering aimlessly in the void… and moreover, invisible. These three points combined made Angel think of a name.
Whether it’s the kind of creature he’s guessing, he’ll know once he sees it.
Angel quickly walked to the area where Boil Gentleman had previously pointed.
Under the black cloth was a cylindrical object, and even without pulling down the cloth, Angel could tell that it was likely a cage.
After lifting the black cloth, indeed, a golden birdcage with exquisite patterns was revealed.
The birdcage is enveloped in a strange power, completely covering it. Despite large gaps, the creature inside cannot escape.
Angel observes the cage. Visibly, it seems empty.
However, without a transparent channel to separate them, Angel uses his mental power to sense a form.
A form filling the cage.
“Yes,” Angel realizes, seeing a slobby snot monster through his mental vision.
This snot monster, much larger than before, is recognized by Angel.
——Void Traveler.
Originally, Angel’s involuntary entry into the Doreen Flower Garden was partly due to Mademoiselle Goldilocks’s uninvited interference. But the main reason was his encounter with a Void Traveler when leaving the ruin passage.
Avoiding the Void Traveler’s sudden attack, Angel was cornered, then seized by Mademoiselle Goldilocks, and dragged to the Doreen Flower Garden.
Thus, the Void Traveler was the true catalyst.
However, Angel had thought that Void Travelers assisted creatures from the Nightmare Plane. But now, seeing this imprisoned Void Traveler, Boil Gentleman’s attitude towards them, and earlier information from Sanders in the Wilderness of Dreams, the Void Travelers lack the Nightmare Plane’s aura.
This suggests they’re not aligned with the creatures of the Nightmare Plane.
Meaning, Angel’s encounter at the passage was an accident.
Angel ponders why the timid and weak Void Travelers, naturally avoiding all creatures including humans, are congregating in this ruin.
It’s peculiar.
“You villains bathed in Magic Whale Liani’s blood, release my kin!”
Angel pauses, feeling a strange message through his mental tendrils.
He turns, first to the spotted puppy at his feet: “Are you communicating with me?”
The puppy, innocent-eyed and wagging its tail, appears uninvolved.
“Not you,” Angel concludes.
Scanning his surroundings, Angel’s gaze settles on the gold precious birdcage, housing the mentally detected, enlarged Void Traveler.
“Are you sending this message?”
Soon, another indignant message is received: “Hurry, release my kin!”
“It is you,” Angel says, surprised. The Void Traveler can communicate with humans mentally?
This is a revelation. Given their rarity, the Wizarding World lacks comprehensive information about them.
