Before arriving at the Hall of Mirrors, Aiwass knew that he would definitely encounter a wild phantom.
After all, this place covers almost the entire realm of the path of beauty. It has the direct influence of a Pillar God and two Tiansi, and it is also connected to the thoughts and subconsciousness of all art creators in the material world... There is nothing evil here.
It's definitely impossible.
Those who engage in art are somewhat crazy.
Being too mentally normal and too stable is actually not conducive to continuous creation - the so-called articles are full of life, and this is probably the case.
"——But even so, these things are too evil!"
Aiwass blurted out while walking forward quickly. Yassen nodded repeatedly, thinking it was true.
The first few rooms are all roads that Aiwass knows. He is so familiar that he even knows where there are hidden places when running the map. If necessary, even the moving speed will definitely not be as fast as Yassen, the monster thief.
Even though he was fast, Aiwass still had the confidence to easily get rid of him.
But after following the recommendations of "Audiences who are looking at this painting are also looking at it" and ran through four rooms, they finally entered a room that Aiwass had never been to in his previous life. Aiwass's "picture running speed" also
It's obviously slower.
Because of the relevance of a painting, we cannot just look at the picture, but also analyze its inner meaning.
For example, if the Candlemas Chapel is burning, it is definitely not just "there is a fire here"; and if you see people sitting on a boat, it may not be a group of people going out for an outing, but they may have just escaped from the sunken ship.
.
Seeing two armies fighting, it is possible that the painting is depicting the brutality of the war; but if it can be recognized that the two armies actually belong to the same country, and that this is a misunderstanding or rebellion that should not have occurred, then the painting
It is somewhat mixed with satire and criticism.
——Maybe it would be much better if Isabel was here.
But Aiwass's artistic quality is really not enough.
Although Aiwass was able to speak eloquently when he first met the cameraman, that was actually the correct answer given by the future Yanis. In fact, Aiwass was just copying the answer, and he himself
There are very few paintings that I have actually seen, let alone analyzing their inner meanings and looking for relevant ones.
Fortunately, this is not exactly a "painting", but a video, or a game - every part of the world in this painting can be explored. Those "NPCs" who come and go and ignore them can also be talked to.
of.
In this way, even if you don't know the meaning here, you can roughly understand the meaning and rules here.
Just a little bit...
If you stay in the same space for too long, the "NPCs" inside will turn into monsters.
Because when no one is observing or appreciating a painting, it is just a painting. But if the painting is being viewed, investigated, studied... then it will become a kind of meaning that is flowing and being interpreted.
A compressed collection of information.
——This is the so-called "author is dead". This also constitutes the core concept of Hall of Mirrors.
When a work is completely created, the author will lose the right to interpret it. A modern work of art cannot be completely original. It must be based on some kind of mature culture. From these
Get nutrition from culture.
Just like the "Candle Chapel Destroyed", its meaning requires understanding the Church of the Nine Pillars, understanding the Candlesticks, understanding the relationship between Iris and the Theocracy, understanding the political status of the Great Chapel, and understanding the existence of the Children of the Moon.
, understand the Iris people's view of the relationship between the Theocratic State and the Children of the Moon... Only in this way can we fully understand. And these various "prerequisites" are the cultural foundation that gave birth to this painting.
In other words, because different interpreters have their own cultural backgrounds, life experiences, races, ages, positions... their interpretations of the same artwork are naturally and bound to be different. So who is the one?
What about the “infallible interpreter”?
The author is naturally the most qualified. But the least likely is the author - because even the author himself has changed after creating this work of art, and is obviously different from the one before creation.
.Just like a person cannot step into the same river twice.
Likewise, it cannot belong to anyone. So from another perspective, it can belong to everyone.
Therefore, all art interpreters are actually using their own lives, culture, knowledge, perceptions, emotions, and interests to reconstruct this work and create a new copy that is independent of the subject.
In this process, the interpreter of beauty is the mirror!
Some mirrors are perfect, and some mirrors are defective; some mirrors are clean, and some mirrors are dirty. Some mirrors are foggy, some mirrors are just polished metal, and some mirrors are even distorted mirrors.
A real object reflects different pictures... just like interpreters give different understandings of the same artwork.
When any "outsider" who does not belong to the painting stays in this space for too long, distortion will begin to occur.
But although some "monsters" have appeared, it is not that these "NPCs" have become phantoms - to be precise, these spaces themselves are a kind of phantoms. And the individuals in them are just part of this work of art. They
Not an individual with an independent soul, but the hands and feet, eyes and mouth of this painting.
Now "this painting" has put on another expression to look at you, and thus a fantasy monster named "Yiling" was born.
——The first phantoms that Aiwass and his party encountered were the guests who fought at the palace funeral.
They seemed to be inseparable from each other, but after Aiwass and the others stayed for a long time, it seemed that they finally couldn't bear it anymore and started fighting——
It seems that because of the understanding of Aiwas and Yassen, these Iris nobles and ministers suddenly started fighting at the funeral site. It even directly affected a few of them.
But fortunately, the phantoms at this stage were relatively easy to deal with. They were easily killed by Yassen without even having to take action from Aiwass and Vines.
The second wave of phantoms turned into a fairy tale-style palace. The soldiers wearing poker armor began to chase them after they investigated for too long. At this stage, Yassen's power was obviously not enough, and he was forced to
Aiwass took action.
During the third wave, they began to appear in a manor house.
The guests here were eating and drinking with their own ulterior motives, and there was a storm outside. Before Aiwass could investigate, they suddenly turned into a group of Moon Children, overturned the dining table and launched an attack on them - this was completely unreasonable.
The doubt comes from the subconscious influence of Vignes.
Just when she thought things would turn out this way, things really turned out like this.
May all your wishes come true!
The strength of these children of the moon has been further improved compared to before. Each of them is almost as strong as the first generation of red phase - this is naturally impossible. If they were really that strong, then the current Iris would have fallen long ago.
. However, the strongest Moon Children in Venez's memory were almost at this level. When she had doubts, they gained power from the Hall of Mirrors and manifested themselves.
——From the fourth wave onwards, the situation started to become bizarre.
In addition to the phantoms that the artwork itself becomes due to this uncontrolled "wishful thinking", there are even phantoms from the outside that sneak in out of curiosity.
The candy house that climbed up turned into a giant man-eating beast, the ghost emerged from the dilapidated castle, the pianist played a flesh and blood piano, and the ancient-style flute player in white with a sword on his waist, there were three of them, one man and two women.
The high part of the one-man choir with the head, the skeletal drum set with four arms
Hand, a lizard man who concentrates on playing a fire-breathing guitar, a goblin singer who is only the size of a butterfly, a perverted painter who uses a sword as a pen and human body as cloth to create, a headless conductor, the three of them look ordinary.
A rock band that is unremarkable but has a different style from those around them...
The more you run, the more people you get.
Aiwass even suspected that most of the phantoms on the Path of Beauty were gathered here!
