Algaron pondered for a moment, and finally left a sentence: "Ask Angel more, I have a hunch that he might know something."
The spiritual dialogue ends here for now.
However, Benbo's mood was like a roller coaster. There were surprises at confirming new features and curiosity about unknown effects, but he was still more confused and doubtful.
The process of refining the crystal pen this time is clearly visible, but why is the result so bizarre?
Ben Bo raised his eyes and looked at Angel, who was muttering with a crystal pen not far away.
"Perhaps the ontology is right, the variable is in him. We should be able to get some truth from him?"
Thinking of this, Benbo floated behind Angel.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Angel seeming to ask a question to the crystal pen.
"You really don't remember flamenco?"
The crystal pen has one cap as its head and blinks its small black bean-like eyes, which are full of innocence and seems to be full of doubts about Angel's question.
Obviously, Crystal Pen didn't understand what Angel said.
In fact, Ben Bo didn't understand it either, but he got a hint of the hidden meaning from Angel's question...
Who is Flamenco? Why does Angel think the crystal pen should remember Flamenco?
…
Angel turned around and found Benbo staring at him with eyes full of meaning.
Obviously, Ben Bo should have heard his question.
However, Angel dared to say it, which meant a showdown. After all, after listening to Benbo's previous description of characteristic enhancement, he already knew that the finished product forged this time was a bit unexpected.
Not to mention Uncle Ben, if it were him, he would definitely find a way to figure out the truth.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Angel decided to tell the story about what he had seen before.
To Angel's surprise, Benbo did not immediately ask about "Flamingo", but gave a brief summary of Algaron's ominous journey.
"...So, according to the conclusion given by the main body, this crystal pen should still have an unknown effect."
Finished talking.
Ben Bo flew to the experimental table and looked at the crystal pen silently: "Since you have a certain amount of spirituality, you should be able to understand what I mean."
The crystal pen is tilted to the side of the cap, and the eyes are as clear as a baby.
Ben Bo: "Don't you understand what I mean?"
A slender crystal line protruded from one side of the crystal pen's barrel, and a large question mark was outlined with a thin line on the head.
"You can't speak?"
"Yes." The clear but rising voice had a charming quality.
"Then why don't you speak?"
The crystal pen hesitated for a moment, and then a thin crystal line stretched out from the other side of the pen holder, and a new question mark was added next to the previous big question mark.
With his tilted little head, he seems to be really ignorant and provocative at the same time.
"..."
Ben Bo was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Angel: "Wait for me for a moment, I will communicate with this little guy."
As he spoke, a long, slender hand like white porcelain suddenly stretched out from Ben Bo's dark wings, picked up the crystal pen on the experimental table, and flew towards the compartment on the side of the workshop.
A moment later, a harsh exclamation came from the cubicle.
Through, it is a long silence.
I don’t know whether it was Uncle Ben who used a soundproof mask, or whether he covered his mouth with physical means...
Angel stood outside, laughing and shaking his head.
Looking at the temporarily empty workshop, his expression slowly calmed down, his eyebrows lowered, and at this moment, the complicated thoughts of the outside world were all smoothed down and settled into his inner world.
"The crystal pen should also have an unknown effect."
Uncle Ben's words still echo in my ears.
At that time, when Angel heard the result, his heart thumped and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
When he learned before that the "living" and "strong ductility" effects of the crystal pen had been strengthened, he vaguely wondered whether this matter might be related to him.
But it was just a guess at the time. After all, it only had some strengthening effects, and the crystal pen had no substantial changes, and it was still within a reasonable range.
But now, when he learned that the crystal pen had an unknown effect, Angel was determined that this matter should be related to him.
Because, according to Algaron's original design, as long as it is refined step by step, there will definitely be no problems.
But now there is an effect outside the preset category, which must mean that there are unknown variables in the smelting process.
Looking at the overall situation, only Angell fits this "variable" that causes unexpected results.
Youyan will only act according to the procedures, and Benbo does not participate in the smelting at all. Therefore, there is only one option for Angel.
only……
If the variable is really itself, what went wrong?
Did the nightmare carved on the Olha steel produce some kind of change? Or is the material containing strong emotions the source of the accident?
Or maybe, both.
Angel fell into deep thought for a long time.
About ten minutes later, the door to the workshop compartment was pushed open, and Uncle Ben flew out leisurely.
Its horizontal pupils now turned into a "human" shape, and it seemed to be in high spirits and joy.
This scene also made Angel a little curious, so he secretly checked it with his super-sense.
I found that Benbo’s high-spirited mood was not fake.
It was really happy at this time, and even had an urge to share its happiness.
Now, in this empty workshop, the only one who could share its joy was Angel, so it flew to Angel's side as soon as possible.
Although Benbo's desire to share was written in his eyes, he still restrained his desire to share actively, and instead adopted a posture of "I have gained something, come and ask me."
Angel has always been tolerant and cooperative with people who are easy to understand. Therefore, before Ben Bo could speak, he started the topic first: "I guess under Mr. Ben Bo's guidance, the crystal pen should have spoken?"
While speaking, Angel also glanced at Ben Bo's long white porcelain hand hidden under his wings. The palm of his hand was a crystal pen.
However, the crystal pen at this time is no longer in the shape of a pen, but has turned into the previous hot crystal girl. However, the current crystal girl is only half a meter tall, which is about the same as the barrel of the crystal pen.
No umbrella.
Perhaps noticing Angel's gaze, Bember placed the mini version of "Crystal Girl" on the experimental table, and then replied: "I'm going to take action, it won't dare not speak."
Lifting his wings proudly, Ben Bo continued: "However, it was either provoking me just now, or it was just born, and it doesn't understand many things yet."
"I just used a method similar to mind sharing to transfer a certain amount of common sense to it, and it became a little smarter now."
"But unfortunately, its memory capacity is still too small, and the transmitted content is not much..."
According to Bember's own estimation, the problems that the current crystal pen can handle may be similar to those of foreign graduates from the monastery college. But its thinking logic may not be comparable to that of a four or five-year-old child.
Angel's understanding is that the crystal pen's knowledge reserve is about the same as a primary school graduate. You can ask it questions and it can respond to a certain extent.
But it is different from a truly intelligent spirit. Its thinking logic is very young, only a little better than that of a baby.
It can barely be called a preparation spirit.
Even so, the crystal pen is very powerful, at least it has "thinking logic". And as time goes by, its thinking logic may grow, and in the future it is expected to truly enter the palace of wisdom and become an intelligent being.
This is unimaginable with other "living" artifacts.
In comparison, the singing cups and dancing tea tables in Yinsen Space are also "living" objects, but they have no so-called thinking logic and are just a bunch of programs with various plans.
.
"I put a lot of effort into it, and finally it understood the meaning of 'innate ability'. It also cooperated with me, and I successfully learned about the unknown ability from it..."
Speaking of this, Ben Bo looked at the "Crystal Girl" on the experimental table.
"It's up to you to speak. Tell all your abilities. Don't hide them. You must know that the human being in front of you is your creator." Uncle Ben: "Hiding your creator is a big sin! When the time comes, your
Your thoughts are gone, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
Angel: "...?"
Is this what you call "cooperation"? Are you sure it's not a threat?
Crystal Girl glanced at Angel, seemed to have thought of something, and first said: "I really don't know who Flamenco is..."
Angel glanced at Ben Bo and explained softly: "This is a question I asked her before, um... do you need me to explain it now?"
Ben Jiejie laughed a few times, and Hengtong continued to maintain the state of joy in the shape of the character "human": "It's okay, just listen to her first."
Angel nodded and continued to listen to Crystal Girl's story.
Crystal Girl said that she has three abilities, namely: logging into the other world, transformation, and mourning ink.
Among them, "Sorrowful Ink" is a new ability.
The remaining two, "Login to the inner world", are actually logins to the Crystal Plain of Dreams; "Transformation" represents its strong ductility.
As for the trait of "living", it is not regarded as a special ability. After all, when it has a self, it does not think of "self" as an innate ability.
Just like humans, eating, drinking, and diarrhea are not regarded as an ability. For them, it is all innate.
Angel repeated in a low voice: "Sorrowful Ink..."
Are new abilities related to emotions?
This made Angel instantly think of the turquoise stone stained with flamenco's blood.
It was also this turquoise stone full of strong emotions that led Angel to see the memory of flamenco about sacrificing love.
Could it be that the piece of turquoise is the source of the birth of "sorrow ink"?
As Angel's thoughts were swirling, Crystal Girl had already briefly described the ability of Sadness Ink.
——It can draw emotional ink from people who are "sad". And the person whose emotional ink is extracted will forget the "suffering" she has experienced.
It sounds a bit complicated at first, but in fact this ability is not difficult to understand.
What is "tragedy"? It is a situation that starts from love but ends with regret.
For example, a secret love that has ended in advance before being confessed.
Also, they were originally a couple of gods and immortals, but due to objective reasons, such as family, concepts, personality, etc., they were forced to separate and did not end well.
Another example is like flamenco, when love has just begun, one party dies unexpectedly, leaving only permanent regrets for the widow...
etc.
These are all defined as "sorrow".
The crystal pen can draw unique emotional ink from such grieving people.
And the person who has been imbued with emotional ink will also forget this emotional pain that will make her regretful for the rest of her life.
In a sense, it can be understood that Crystal Pen COS has become a psychiatrist specializing in love, providing solutions to those who are trapped by love.
Use their grief as ink to make them forget this unforgettable emotional pain.
According to Angel, the effect of this "sorrow ink" is very "special".
It is a special attack on people who have "deficiencies in love". It has no effect on other emotions, such as friendship and family affection.
If the effect of "Sorrow Ink" is nothing more than this, Angel feels that it is a bit too weak, a useless auxiliary ability that is a pity to discard.
"No, no, the effect is far more than that."
Perhaps because he realized that Angel was a little disdainful of the effect of "sorrow ink", Benbo immediately jumped out to refute.
"Are there other effects?" Angel looked at Ben Bo in confusion.
"Of course. It just talked about the absorption of mourning ink, not the use of mourning ink!"
Ben Bo's words also made Angel look a little curious.
Indeed, he had thought about it just now. If the grief ink is extracted, it should be useful. Otherwise, why should it be extracted?
But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a place where the mourning ink could be used? Could it be that it has the power to dye certain materials with emotions, like the turquoise of flamenco?
While Angel was thinking, Benbo had already given the answer.
Ben Bo raised his wings slightly proudly and said, "Using this unique ink, the love stories written will be easier for people to sympathize with."
"As a playwright, this is my dream ink!"
Angel: "..."
I see.
A flash of realization flashed in Angel's eyes, and yes, the function of the ink must be to write on the paper. He had just focused on the "sorrow" part and didn't think about it.
He now understood somewhat why Uncle Ben looked so happy and excited when he came out of the side door.
Indeed, mourning ink has some uses for writers.
For example, many authors are not good at writing emotional dramas. With this ink, maybe they can help improve it.
But then again.
A writer who can affect other people's emotions with his writing would probably not want to use this kind of ink to cheat... The simple words they write at will can touch people's hearts, so why do they need cheating?
In other words, Bember didn't seem to realize that it had exposed its inability to use words to arouse readers' emotions.
Angel silently lit a candle for Ben Bo in his heart.
"You just said that this kind of ink can only be used on love stories...So, is Mr. Bember a playwright who specializes in love scripts?"
Uncle Ben: "That's not true. But, it doesn't matter."
