Wang Wang thought about the wording and slowly said, "From the beginning, I haven’t been separated from the master..."
Wang Wang’s experiences differ entirely from Angel’s.
To put it simply, Angel was undergoing a single-player puzzle-solving game, while Wang Wang sat in the surveillance room watching others attempt an escape room.
The "others" referred to, of course, are Gluz Deward, Polo Ye, and the poor, implicated Observer.
According to Wang Wang, after being swallowed by the Dalmatian, the place it appeared in was a black room. In this room, apart from itself, there was also the Dalmatian.
Upon seeing the Dalmatian, Wang Wang was overjoyed, and after various praises and commendations, it started to inquire about the whereabouts of Gluz Deward and the others.
Then, with a step of the Dalmatian’s foot, the floor of the black room turned transparent, clearly revealing that beneath the black floor was a colossal pure white room.
And Gluz Deward and the others were imprisoned in the pure white room below. This pure white room is a space that nullifies magic and spiritual power.
"A magic-nullifying pure white room, there’s such a space inside the Dalmatian?" Angel exclaimed.
Wang Wang: "I asked the master, and the master said it was just created."
Just created... Angel choked for a moment, such a place where even a Legendary Wizard can’t use magic or spiritual power was created offhandedly by Wang Wang? This feeling is akin to casually and comfortably narrating the creation of the world’s end.
Angel now no longer doubts the Dalmatian’s power.
It makes sense, the Dalmatian even simulated the Illusion of the Thief of Time and snatched the Thief’s blood. This itself proves the Dalmatian’s might.
Such a Dalmatian, creating a confinement room for Legendary Wizards is no trouble.
"Go on," Angel decided not to interrupt this time, nor be startled, exposing his ignorance. After all, in the Dalmatian’s eyes, he is that Lady Sha Wa; is this little thing worth astonishment? – Angel silently answered in his heart with two words.
"The master said the promise made to me is fulfilled, and now it’s up to me to handle the rest."
Next, Wang Wang began contemplating how to deal with these people.
From the start, Wang Wang’s goal was clear, which was Gluz Deward and Polo Ye. It wanted to learn from them where its fellow Illusory Spirits of Phantom Spirit City were and find a way to rescue them.
As for how to rescue them, Wang Wang still didn’t have a plan. The best would be to exchange captives, to use them to exchange for its own kind.
However, that’s for later. Before that, they needed to start talking.
Though Gluz Deward and Polo Ye were magic-nullified at this moment, their physical strength remained immense, and Wang Wang wasn’t capable of extracting any information from them under these conditions.
Thus, Wang Wang requested help from the Dalmatian, asking if it could tire their bodies and wear down their will.
The Dalmatian thought for a bit and eventually placed the mysterious fruit from atop No. 03’s head in the center of the white room.
The powerful attraction and pull continuously wore down the blood and will of Gluz Deward and Polo Ye. Meanwhile, Wang Wang lay on the black room’s floor, observing their movements at all times.
"That’s what I experienced in that black room."
Angel: "I didn’t expect you to be with the Dalmatian the whole time. Did it mention me?"
Wang Wang: "Initially, finding you absent from the black room, I asked the master where you were."
"What did the Dalmatian say?"
Wang Wang: "Nothing was said."
Wang Wang paused slightly when saying this. The Dalmatian indeed said nothing, but it could feel that the Dalmatian’s silence was simply because it didn’t want to tell.
The feeling was like Wang Wang and the Dalmatian belonged to servant and master, whereas the Dalmatian and Angel were on the same level of existence. How could a servant inquire about the matters of the master?
Angel wasn’t aware of Wang Wang’s thoughts, but he found it normal that the Dalmatian, when involving its matters, would start feigning cluelessness and bark foolishly. The most critical part was that the dog’s barking was absurd, a blend of perfunctory and deception. Therefore, the Dalmatian not discussing its affairs seemed quite normal to Angel.
Angel: "So, how did you show up here later?"
Wang Wang: "This starts from when the master left."
According to Wang Wang, initially, everything was fine, with the Dalmatian and Wang Wang staying in the black room, but suddenly, the Dalmatian jumped up and barked towards a certain direction.
Then, the Dalmatian vanished.
Wang Wang: "I didn’t know what happened at the time. However, before the master left, its eyes reflected a golden clock."
Upon hearing this, Angel roughly guessed that it was likely during the eye contact with the Thief of Time when a twisted time-space created a mysterious interaction beyond the Dalmatian’s expectations, prompting its barking.
With its barking, the illusion of Clock Forest vanished, and the Illusion of the Thief of Time disappeared too, leaving only a whisper lingering in Angel’s ear.
Next came Angel’s long wait in the void.
Perhaps, at that point, the Dalmatian’s disappearance was in fact to confront the Thief of Time? Angel speculated in his heart.
Wang Wang: "Then I waited quite a while in the black room, before being suddenly kicked out by the master, ending up here with a drop of golden blood in front of me."
Angel, understanding, nodded: The appearance of the golden blood might well be the result of the "confrontation"?
Angel: "Does this drop of golden blood attract you? So you swallowed it?"
Wang Wang shook its head: "Indeed, the golden blood is alluring, but its aura is too terrifying for me to touch it. The reason I swallowed it was due to receiving some information when kicked from the room by the master."
This information wasn’t the usual dialogue but rather a vast data flow, highly complex with many untranslated parts within.
This information pertained to the golden blood.
Firstly explaining the origin of the golden blood... however, due to the complexity of the information and many parts unreadable, Wang Wang could only skip this section.
Next, explaining the role of the golden blood... likewise complex in nature, Wang Wang didn’t comprehend it, only understanding one sentence: If given to the Minister of Arms, it can be used for weapon creation.
Finally explaining the ownership of the golden blood... this section was clear, but Wang Wang didn’t understand it. It stated that the golden blood should be given to Lady Sha Wa, though due to the blood containing an unknown substance from a certain existence, to prevent being spied on by that existence, it should be stored within Wang Wang first.
