Beginning Heart City, the top floor of the Sky Tower.
"Is it really okay? It's motionless and its expression is dull, it looks like it's stunned." Floyd asked Angel, but his eyes were fixed on Toby on the table.
"In reality, the thoughts of extreme resentment in Toby's body have a faint sign of suppressing the rebound. If it really exceeds the limit, it will inevitably face the calamity of extreme resentment. Therefore, I have no choice." Angel Reluctantly replied.
Toby, who was sitting blankly on the table at this time, his eyes didn't seem to focus, and he didn't seem to have recovered.
As Floyd said, it was like being stunned.
The reason for Toby's situation was that Angel forcibly intervened in the operation of the House of Heart and released Toby in advance.
Back in time not too long ago—
After Angel took Toby to the Wilderness of Dreams, he explained to Toby the function of the House of Hearts, and explained the possible dangers, and then let Toby enter it.
After Toby was covered by the power of the House of Hearts, it was good at first, but it didn't take long for an accident to occur.
In the eyes of Sanders and Floyd, Toby was unchanged.
But Angel found something wrong with the power of the "Dream Gate". Not long after Toby entered the House of Hearts, a strange creature... or power, seemed to be connected to Toby.
Through power investigation, Angel found that this so-called strange creature was actually a large number of negative emotions.
Angel immediately understood that this might be the projection of extreme resentment.
At this point, Angel confirmed that the House of Heart really inspired Toby's hidden resentment. This is the result expected by Angel, so that Toby can face extreme resentment in advance.
However, since the thoughts of extreme resentment have been inspired, and the thoughts of extreme resentment are also connected to Toby, it is very likely that there will be a rebound in reality.
So he went back to reality.
If the reality is what he thinks, the thoughts of extreme resentment have begun to be released from Toby's body. The good thing is that the degree of release is still within the controllable range.
However, if it is not stopped as soon as possible, the thoughts of extreme resentment are likely to break through the seal set by Frost. At that time, Toby will inevitably face the calamity of extreme resentment.
Unprepared, Angel couldn't let Toby respond now.
Therefore, in order to prevent the thoughts of extreme resentment from breaking through the seal, after returning to the Wilderness of Dreams, Angel immediately used the green pattern to forcibly drag Toby out of the power of the House of Heart.
Because of the forcible interruption of the operation of the House of Heart, Toby may not have reacted for a while, and he appeared in the current state of magic.
But what is gratifying is that Angel can feel that the extremely resentful thoughts connected with Toby before have disappeared again. It should be suppressed again.
Angel felt that Toby might just be a stress response, but five minutes had passed, and Toby still hadn't recovered, which made him a little worried.
Angel turned to look at Sanders, who was sitting on the side and was flipping through the "House of Heart Experiment Record": "Teacher, is Toby's situation normal?"
Sanders raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that you need to go further in your understanding of the nature of illusion."
After a pause, Sanders explained: "The power of the House of Heart is actually the power of the illusion. It is only in the aftermath of the illusion. Whether it can come out depends on what it has experienced."
The so-called "fantasy aftermath" can actually be understood as "afterglow".
After a timid person is bitten by a snake, he may be afraid to see a snake in the future. This is called having lingering fears.
The "aftermath of the phantom" is also similar. Because the phantom involves psychological problems, it will inevitably affect a certain emotion in the heart. If you overcome the phantom yourself, then it is naturally no problem. However, if an external force pulls you out of the illusion, it is very likely that this kind of "lingering fear" will occur.
Some people may come out of the lingering fear soon; but some people may be shrouded in shadows for a lifetime.
Toby is in that state right now.
However, Toby is an extraordinary creature after all, and the aftermath of the illusion should not last too long.
When Angel thought so, Toby on the table finally reacted. Its eyes recovered from the confusion, and then trembled for a while, and its little head looked around, as if looking for something.
When he found that he had left the pitch-dark world, Toby finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran to Angel's side at a flying speed. It seems that only with Angel's side can it find a sense of security.
Angel stroked Toby's feathers, and when he touched Toby, it clearly trembled. But soon, Toby squinted and enjoyed Angel's touch.
After waiting for Toby to feel comfortable, Angel asked, "What did you experience in the house of heart just now?"
Toby's body instantly stiffened, and there seemed to be a moment of panic in his dark red eyes.
However, the panic didn't last long.
Perhaps it was the temperature of Angel's palm that made Toby feel safe, and after a moment of contemplation, it began to whistle in a low voice.
In Floyd's eyes, Toby just chirped repeatedly, flapping his wings from time to time, as if he was expressing something. However, Floyd couldn't understand what Toby was saying at all, but Angel seemed to be nodding his head seriously, and he kept saying something... One side was human words and the other was bird words, There is no obstacle to communication.
After a long time, Toby stopped calling and seemed to have finished speaking.
Floyd looked at Angel and asked what Toby said, so that he could record it in the report.
Angel pondered for a moment: "After Toby entered the house of heart, in the long corridor, he saw two doors, one of which contained his obsession."
When Toby and Angel communicated, more than 80% of the time, they were talking about their obsessions. For example, dried fish, music boxes, various costumes, etc., expressly implied a lot.
Only a fraction of the time, talking about another door.
"What's in the other door?" Floyd asked curiously.
"... It's a dark void." Angel paused: "But in this dark void, it saw an aggregate of extremely resentful thoughts."
"Jealous snake bird."
…
When Toby faced this behemoth, he was completely stunned.
It's not because of the size of the snake bird of envy, but there is an unspeakable connection between Toby and this snake bird.
When the snake bird cast its evil eyes on Toby, endless negative emotions rushed towards Toby like a torrent.
These negative emotions not only made Toby feel uncomfortable, but also magnified Toby's senses.
For example, immerse Toby in certain memories that contain images that make Toby feel jealous, resentful, jealous.
Toby felt like a pebble, directly submerged under the scouring of this negative emotion.
Dark, helpless, scared.
There is also the irritability of negative emotions, which fills Toby's senses.
It was not until Angel forcibly stopped the House of Heart that Toby was saved from the terrifying torrent. But even so, Toby was immersed in the "aftermath" for a long time before he came back to his senses.
