"What happened?" Sid looked at Albert, not panicked.

She already felt something was wrong.

Albert was Detective 5 and had much better eyesight than Sid, so she chose to ask.

"I don't know, but there is no sense of the outside world. I...can't see or hear anything outside this restaurant. Something happened outside." Albert noticed something was wrong before Sid, but remained calm. He

He stood up and wanted to walk out.

The entire restaurant is shaped like a conch. The restaurant is located on the belly of the conch. You can go down through the downward spiral stairs, and you can go to the rooftop through the upward spiral stairs to enjoy the beautiful night view.

All the stairs, including the restaurant itself, are floating, suspended in mid-air by magic technology, and will not fall even if you lose your footing. It is very safe.

Albert wanted to go out first, but Sid stopped him: "You are not a combat professional, I will go first."

After saying that, although Sid was not armed, he walked out first.

Albert is not pretentious. Understanding reality and making correct decisions are far more important than being a hero. Of course, both of them are aware of this kind of thing, so they only behave in such irrational ways.

Sid walked down, cautiously, always alert to his surroundings.

She left the main part of the restaurant and walked down the spiral staircase.

As she took the first step down, she suddenly discovered that above her head... was the rooftop.

No, shouldn't it be the main part of the restaurant? She seemed to be standing on the rooftop just now, as if she had just stepped down from the rooftop.

"How did you get up there?" Albert looked up, and his Detective 5 clearly told him that Sid suddenly disappeared just after taking a few steps down, and then quickly appeared directly above.

"I don't know either." Sid remained calm. She quickly squatted down and tore off all the large skirts and decorations of the evening dress that were inconvenient for movement, leaving only the part above the knees, so that it would not affect the fight.

No matter what, someone is taking action anyway, so there is no harm in being prepared for battle. As children of great nobles, of course they all have this awareness.

It's just... this is a hanging garden, guarded by more than five level 8 people.

When they thought of this, both of them were a little nervous.

Because anyone who can do this silently must be level 9.

Is the other party's attitude friendly or hostile? I don't know, but no matter what, the survival probability of the two people is limited to the other party's reaction after the first attack.

If you respond correctly, you will live, otherwise you will die.

The reason why I say this is because they all carry life-saving treasures with them. Even if they face a level 9 existence, it will be difficult to die with a single blow, and the alarm will also be triggered.

But after the alarm is triggered, it will take a little time for the family to arrive, and for this "little bit" they need to rely on their other treasures and improvise.

After all, a protective treasure that can sustain no damage at level 8 and withstand a hit without hesitation at level 9, and it also needs to have no threshold for use, be automatically triggered, and be maintained for a long time, this kind of thing is very precious, even if

There are not many such big nobles. At least it is impossible for each person to have two or three. Even Sid only has one.

Her two brothers don't even have one.

Sid walked down, returned to the main part of the restaurant, and came face to face with Albert.

"Level 9 of the empire...is there such a type? Is this a closed space? I've heard of the great magic of level 9. It is said that magic 9 can be cast, which can make a space form a cycle of its own, so that no outside can come in.

You can't get out." Albert said first. (Chapter 276 Lu En once performed this in hell.)

"No, it shouldn't be. The closed space is completely sealed. Even sound and light will be folded together to form a bounded but infinite space. Infinity circulates inside. But now... we can see the outside.

Scene." Sid calmly pointed out the doubt: "Look, we can even see the people on the street below, but the problem is that other people in the sky garden have disappeared."

"What do you mean-?" Albert frowned. He understood, but that seemed to make it even more confusing.

"Yes, it's an illusion. It's very possible that we are in an illusion." Sid concluded.

"When? When you pull us into the illusion, the protection should be triggered, and I should feel that something is obviously wrong. I am Detective 5, and I already have the resistance to enter the illusion..." Albert Moore

Rubbing his chin, he continued to speculate: "However, what if instead of pulling you into the illusion, you create an illusion outside?"

"A real hallucination, right? It's not an illusion of the spiritual world, it may be an optical phenomenon, but how can that explain the sudden disappearance of people? Are there any level 9s that can do this?"

"I don't know. Level 9 is not something we can guess, but I have other ways to try." Sid said: "This is the knowledge I learned from another level 8."

"There is a simple way to test whether this is an illusion first," Sid said.

She walked to the table, took the table knife, made two strokes on the table, then turned around and took apart the dinner plate.

Then, she took off her hair accessories, spread out her tied hair, took out a pure gold relief inside the hair accessories, and used the gems on it as an energy source.

"What are you doing?" Alberta looked at Sid carving and dismantling on it strangely.

"I'm testing whether this is an illusion." Sid replied without raising his head.

"This is a magic weapon with colorful jets. It can be triggered without any action during combat, but now it has another use." She said, then loaded it, changed the lines, and added three additional useless lines.

"While it will not affect the normal operation of the colorful jet array, I added some insignificant things, but it converts the DC energy of the energy source into another form, which can produce complex energy vortices, but in the end it will be

A bifurcated road disappears and becomes an energy supply for the array to use again."

Sid explained: "Although this has no effect on the effect of the array and seems to be a futile effort, in order to maintain the authenticity of the illusion, the energy vortex illusion maintainer must consume a lot of resources to calculate the flow of every energy, otherwise the vortex will

It will collapse because the illusion cannot be calculated, or...the illusion will collapse on its own because it cannot calculate the complex energy fluctuations, so that you can tell whether it is an illusion or reality." She said as she finished the finishing touches

Work.

Yes, if it is a real illusion, then everything around it must be simulated. As long as a chaotic system of energy vortices is created, it will be difficult for the illusion creator to simulate.

If Adu had mastered this trick back then, as long as he created an infinitely repeating loop, it would have been difficult for Lu En to insist on giving him a rebirth scene. It would be very difficult to simulate a completely random and chaotic system.

This is the effect of Chaos Array.

There are many laws in the world, such as magic traction, the lever principle, the Great European Rune Law, etc. that are familiar to almost every scholar. These natural laws can be described by a single mathematical formula, and the behavior of objects can be accurately predicted based on this formula.

.

For example, the magic flow theorem, Archmage Buhler discovered that through a specific array layout, the special laws contained in the two poles of magic will cause the magic to flow in a certain direction in the magic array, that is, from the black end of the positive pole to the white end of the negative pole.

But this is not the case with Chaos Array. Many scholars and mages have discovered that even though many phenomena can be reduced to simple mathematical formulas, their behavior is still unpredictable.

For example, simple thermal convection phenomena can actually cause unimaginable meteorological changes, producing the so-called "butterfly effect."

At the current technical level, although the properties of chaotic arrays can be studied by analyzing chaotic mathematical models, its application in reality is difficult to promote. This is because even if the relationship between the result and the initial value/time can be calculated,

It is also impossible to obtain the required value with absolute accuracy, especially in the chaos model. Even if you measure all the tiny values, the results will still cause huge differences between the two. This is truly completely random and cannot be predicted.

simulated.

This also results in the unpredictability and uncalculability of the chaos model, and it is impossible to directly crack it relying on a certain law.

Such chaotic vortices will be a huge burden for environmental simulators.

"You seem...very proficient in illusions?" Albert scratched his head. Would a normal person be so familiar with the techniques to crack illusions?

very strange.

Sid's body stiffened for a moment and he couldn't hold himself any longer. His voice couldn't stop being awkward, and he tried his best to keep it as nonchalant as he said, "I just read a book on this subject..."

What's going on? She can't tell him that she hasn't recovered from the psychological shadow caused by the microscopic world of the King of Monsters for four or five years. During that time, she didn't know how many methods she tried to destroy the illusion, and she was already familiar with this aspect.

However, even though she was tortured so miserably, she still only had admiration for the king of monsters, but no resentment.

Not only has she had personal contact with the other party's career, but she has also read many of his books.

In this regard, she can only say, who among those who really read it will not be shocked by the brilliant crystallization of thoughts? Who will not be inspired by that noble and great cause?

But since I’m not familiar with Albert, there’s no need to say this.

After about half an hour, both of them were very patient.

During this period, Albert tried to attack the wall of the glass restaurant and break out. He also tried to free fall without taking the stairs, but he would eventually return to the main body of the restaurant. No matter what, the restaurant could not be destroyed.

Can't leave either.

But the energy vortex is always running normally, and the chaotic system has been maintained for so long. It is obvious that this is not an illusion.

If so, it means that the person running this illusion is incredibly powerful.

"What should I do?" Albert looked at Sid.

"...I don't know if the other party has any malicious intent, but he obviously doesn't have murderous intent, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to wait so long," Sid said.

Albert was worried: "But this is not just a question of whether we can survive, because now there are two possibilities outside. One is that we are missing. If that is the case, it is not bad. The news of our disappearance will definitely be reported by the air.

Report to Huayuan, rescue should arrive soon."

"But if it's the second one..." Albert looked at Sid and didn't say anything.

But Sid already understood what he meant.

The second possibility, of course, is that... in the eyes of outsiders, everything is normal between the two of them.

That's a big deal. The two of them seem to be normal to the outside world, so what's going on with themselves who are discussing it now?

What should we do if someone really tries to hide the truth and replace the civet cat with the prince?

The two people looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

In the sky garden at this moment, an old woman is standing under the glass restaurant.

The old woman's body is stooped, but her eyes are bright. Although she looks old, she gives people a feeling of great vitality.
