Chapter 607 Mysterious Memory <TOC> Chapter 609 A New Interstitial Space

Following the logical deduction, Angel had always believed that the Mysterious Object would ultimately appear. However, he never expected that what would appear in the end was actually this spotted dog?
The spotted dog had not yet fully formed, and one could vaguely see that the droplet had transformed into the shape of the spotted dog, while the gray-white aura representing the Unknown Power constituted the “Mysterious” meaning within the spotted dog’s body.
“Is this… a Mysterious Soul?!” surprise flashed in Angel’s eyes.
So, the spotted dog was actually the Mysterious Soul that Yorkshire had brought out of the Nightmare Plane, and all the Mysterious Aura was actually emitted from the spotted dog’s body?
No wonder, at the time outside the Dark Domain, Angel had felt a strong Mysterious Soul Aura; it turned out that what he had sensed was actually this spotted dog?
However, looking at this Mysterious Soul in the form of a spotted puppy, he couldn’t help but recall the Mysterious Soul he had seen last time in Black Castle, with an intimidating appearance like a demon from the abyss, which was completely different from this spotted dog.
However, it must be said that the Mysterious Soul Aura contained in the spotted dog’s body was much richer than that of the female abyssal demon-like Mysterious Soul he had encountered last time.
This also meant that the spotted dog was naturally higher in rank than the female abyssal demon.
But the question was, where was the carrier for the spotted dog? Could Mysterious Souls also transform and possess wisdom?
The Mysterious Soul of the female abyssal demon Angel had seen last time was formed by hundreds of miles of dark clouds, and in the moment of transformation, it had merged into the carrier that Angel had crafted – the Revolver.
As for this spotted dog, where was its carrier? Or was it simply appearing in the form of a Mysterious Soul, without a carrier?
Angel was uncertain about this, because his understanding of Mysterious Objects was limited, and he had little exposure to the concept of “Mysterious Souls.”
Perhaps Mysterious Souls could exist independently, or perhaps Mysterious Souls could also have wisdom, but this knowledge was obviously beyond his current level of understanding.
Angel put aside his thoughts and silently watched the spotted dog transform.
After a while, there were no traces of “Water” and “Unknown Power” on the spotted dog’s body, and it looked like an ordinary mortal dog. If Angel had not witnessed its transformation, he would not have believed that this dog could be a Mysterious Soul.
Angel slowly flew over and gently touched the spotted dog.
Its head moved slightly, and its clean and pure eyes slowly opened, the shiny black pupils reflecting Angel’s appearance.
It tilted its head, looking at Angel, as if trying to memorize Angel’s appearance completely.
“Are you the Mysterious Soul?” Angel whispered.
The spotted dog still looked confused, appearing to have limited intelligence, but it wagged its tail happily.
Angel shook his head: “Indeed, a foolish dog.”
He thought the previous grand and righteous voice belonged to the spotted dog, but it seemed it wasn’t the case. He assumed the dog was intelligent, but that was an illusion.
Angel sighed, and just as he was about to say something, the bright area suddenly seemed to freeze in time.
Angel’s perspective shifted from the first person to the third person. Then, he witnessed the sudden collapse of the bright area.
The spotted dog also turned into a shattered mirror fragment.
Angel suddenly opened his eyes and found himself back in the original dark space, with Toby still rubbing against his shoulder.
However, there was no Mysterious Aura left in the darkness around them, as if all the Mysteries had vanished with his awakening.
“So, the experience just now was actually a dream constructed by the Mysterious Aura?”
Was it a dream or an illusion?
Angel could not provide an answer, but he still clearly remembered that Mysterious Feeling. If it was a dream, at least for Angel, it was a beautiful one.
As Angel was lost in thought, a “woof” sound suddenly entered his ears.
This barking was deafening, as if coming from all directions. Just as Angel was puzzled, he found himself suddenly spat out by the spotted dog, leaving the dark space and reappearing in the outer city enveloped in the Dark Domain.
The dog that swallowed him was sitting obediently beside him, wagging its tail and tilting its head, seemingly waiting for Angel’s praise.
Angel looked at the dog with complicated eyes. He didn’t sense any malice from it, but its behavior made Angel somewhat puzzled.
Also, was it really the Mysterious Soul? Or was it actually a Mysterious Object in the shape of a living creature?
Angel sighed, shook off these confusing thoughts, and turned to examine his surroundings. He was curious to know where the dog had brought him.
He was currently standing in the middle of an empty crossroad, where the streetlights had not gone out, illuminating the surroundings quite well.
Unfortunately, Angel was not familiar with the layout of Sleepless City, and the surrounding buildings all looked similar, so he had no idea of his specific location.
But when Angel looked up, he saw a black vortex in the sky at first glance.
Angel was stunned for a moment. The black vortex was right in the center of the Eternal Day Magical Formation, and the corresponding ground location was the center of the outer city.
So, was he now at the center of the outer city?
Angel looked at Toby: “Toby, has Lady Gloria awakened yet?”
Toby shook his head at him, then gestured, asking if they should use some special means to wake Gloria up.
Angel waved his hand: “Our current goal is to find Nausica, so there’s no need to deliberately wake Lady Gloria.”
Initially, he had thought that if Gloria was awake, he might be able to consult her on why the outer city was so empty and if there were any hidden places in it. But then he thought, Gloria had been trapped in the teleportation hall all along, and she didn’t know much either, so there was no need to disturb her now.
Initially, Angel’s purpose of coming to Sleepless City was to find Gloria and put Toby’s mind at ease. Now that Gloria was in Toby’s Snowy Feather, their goal had basically been achieved. The only thing left was to find Nausica, and if there was a chance, take down Hookedick.
As for Sanders… Angel had a drop of his blood, so they wouldn’t get separated, so there was no need to worry about Sanders for now.
With that in mind, Angel decided to take action immediately.
But just as Angel was about to fly up and check the surroundings, his pant leg was bitten by the spotted dog. It bit and pulled Angel back.
Angel didn’t know what it wanted to do, but it was, after all, a being suspected to be a “Mysterious Soul,” so he stopped and watched it.
As for the dog’s attitude, Angel was not sure about it now. Although he didn’t sense any hostility from it, whether it was a friend or foe was another matter. He was so eager to leave, partly because he wanted to get rid of the dog.
Even if this dog brought him a huge benefit, allowing him to study the Mysterious Power, it couldn’t erase the fact that it had swallowed him before.
When he couldn’t figure out the attitude of the spotted dog, Angel decided it was best to stay away from it first.
But now, the dog didn’t seem to be ready to let him go. After briefly comparing the difference in their strengths, Angel chose to stop and see what the dog wanted to do.
The silly dog suddenly ran to a corner behind him and started barking madly at Angel.
It couldn’t be more obvious that Angel was supposed to go there.
Angel hesitated for a moment, but eventually flew over as instructed. As Angel turned around and looked into the corner, his pupils suddenly shrank—
People! He finally saw people!
Countless people were crowded together at the end of the corner, all with their backs to Angel, making bizarre movements and twisting their bodies, looking like they were “infested with specks of light.”
“So that’s why there were no people in the outer city, they all came here?” Angel murmured softly: “But why didn’t any sound come out? Don’t the infested people sing?”
As Angel was puzzled, the spotted dog nudged Angel’s pant leg.
He looked back and saw it squatting obediently, making the same “seeking praise, seeking petting, seeking compliments” expression as before.
“So, you brought me to find these people?” Angel asked curiously, while gesturing for Toby to take out the blood-stained stone from outside the Savage Grottoes residence: “Then you smell it again, is the owner of the blood inside?”
The spotted dog sniffed it and immediately barked toward the end of the road.
“It seems that the person is really inside?” Joy flashed in Angel’s eyes, then he looked back at the spotted dog, with a hint of inquiry in his gaze.
Was it really stupid, or just pretending to be stupid?
Could it be that it actually wanted to bring him here in the first place, and not just take him for a walk?
Angel suppressed his doubts. Regardless of whether the spotted dog had smelled the owner of the blood or not, since there were so many people inside, the probability of Nausica being there was much higher.
With that thought, Angel slowly walked towards the inside.
But the deeper he went, the stranger Angel felt. There were so many people inside, and they seemed to be packed tightly together, but why was there no sound at all? Even if they didn’t speak, wouldn’t there be the sound of footsteps when they “danced”?
Moreover, what was even stranger was why they had gathered here?
Suddenly, Angel stopped in his tracks.
Ten meters ahead of him, there was a parasitized person wearing brightly colored clothes, twisting their body as if “dancing.”
Under the dim light of the streetlamp, he clearly saw the other person opening and closing their mouth nonstop, and from their lip movements, it was obvious they were praising the “Queen.”
However, Angel could not hear any sound from ten meters away.
As Angel stopped and carefully observed, he noticed something strange.
For example, the streetlamp.
The streetlamp beside him was a uniquely styled shark oil lamp, which could burn for several years with just one ignition.
The light from the streetlamp was not very strong, but it could still dispel a certain amount of darkness when shone diagonally downward.
But Angel found that at a distance of two meters ahead, the light had a slight deflection angle that appeared out of nowhere.
There was nothing obstructing the view in front of him, just a wide and smooth street. How did this angle appear, and how did the light shift?
