With the help of his new income, Angor’s laziness disappeared a lot. He rubbed his sore temples, picked up the two oil painting from the floor and left the deck.
Once he was back in his room, Angor put the paintings aside. He closed the door and then lied on the bed.
His first task was the check his recordings. He even took out his blanket and covered himself up before taking out his pocket watch, just in case.
Unlike when he was in the Nightmare Realm, the hologram tablet started up just fine. Angor saw his recordings soon.
After going through the folder with his videos and images and saw all the files he saved, Angor let out a sigh in relief.
Seemed like the recordings worked as intended during his journey in the Nightmare Realm. However, Angor could not help but wonder how did he manage to take the tablet with him. According to Sunders, the clothes on his soul were not real. Anything on him would not break at all. Like how he did not bleed out under younger Sunders’ attack.
Then why didn’t the hologram tablet obey such rules? The tablet went into the Nightmare Realm as a solid object?
Angor did not know. He had to wait for another chance to prove his idea by going to that place again.
Now that he knew his recordings were not lost, all was good. Otherwise, he would be really frustrated about it.
Since the recordings were safe, Angor did not proceed to read the contents right away. He opened a video with the intention to check whether the Milking Shepherd was a false memory.
He did not see such a painting when he stepped into the hallway for the first time. During the second trip though, the painting somehow appeared in front of him.
He was unsure if he simply remembered wrongly, or if there was some other reason. He wanted to make sure now.
The video was pretty long. Angor moved the progress bar to the point when he entered the warden’s passageway.
In the video, Angor was observing the oil paintings along the walls while walking in the golden hallway.
The camera was not really stable, but Angor could still see the paintings when the camera went over them.
Angor did not stop walking in the video. Soon, he saw Traveler Under Stars.
And… there! When a black oil painting came into view, Angor pressed Pause.
