Seeing Lumian's doubtful look, Franka briefly explained: One of the core abilities of the "Witch" path is closely related to mirrors and the manipulation of the world in the mirror.
"When I just suspected that this place really involves the path of a witch or a hunter, I thought about whether we might have walked into a place in the mirror world unknowingly, so I tried it with a makeup mirror to see if I could pass through that mirror. Leave, but as you can see, it has no effect."
Because of this incident, I had initially ruled out the possibility of the mirror world and the legacy of the witch, but now suddenly there is a mirror sunk under the water, suspected of hiding the exit.
"So, you suspect that this is a place in the mirror world that has been specially processed, and all exits are restricted to specific mirrors?" Lumian tried to understand Franka's thoughts. "Yes!" Franka nodded slightly.
"But what I don't understand is that we have never encountered anything similar to a mirror, so why did we enter this space inexplicably? Maybe my guess is wrong, or only partially correct." Lumian thought for a moment. Sincerely asked for advice: "What is the mirror world?"
Franka scratched the ponytail on the back of her head: "It's hard for me to explain this to you because I don't know it very well myself."
Let me talk about it based on my understanding. In occultism, mirrors have some unique symbolic meanings, such as their own reflection, for example, the entrance to another world. The former means that we can use mirrors to make stand-ins. The latter represents the mirror world. "It is often associated with horror, mystery, horror, and weirdness. As for whether there is anything hidden or whether it is a real alien space, I have no way of guessing. I only know that the mirror world is connected to different things similar to mirrors, and may point to some normal things. Spaces that are inaccessible. Once my sequence improves a bit, I should be able to use the mirror world to quickly travel to different places."
Lumian thought back and used his imagination just now: "Could the you we saw be the reflection of you in the mirror world because of something that happened to you before you became a "witch"? "This can explain why I have never met my past self. ""It makes sense, but I haven't encountered anything strange." Franka thought for a while and said, "If that's the case," we must go to the puddle immediately. The exit is most likely there! We can no longer try and wait cautiously. As I said just now... the mirror world is full of weird and horrifying things. I can't imagine what we will encounter if we continue to stay! "Okay." Lumian was still quite calm. Franka turned around and ran. Lumian followed closely beside her. While running, this "witch" seemed to use some kind of ability. Under her feet Pieces of small frost appeared constantly, which brought about a sudden decrease in friction, and her body seemed to become weightless. She swished through the dark quarry hollows and deep holes in a gliding manner. In the underground tunnel.
Lumian, who has the dual identities of "Hunter" and "Dancer", tried his best to keep up with Franka without being thrown away. In the coldness of winter, the surrounding rock walls gradually formed Some thin ice cubes; on the surface of those ice cubes, faces covered with blood were highlighted. Their expressions were twisted and their eyes were filled with malice, like vengeful evil spirits crawling out from the depths of hell. One of them It was Franka before, when she was still a man! After running wildly for a while, Lumian and Franka saw the puddle. As the light of the carbide lamp spread over, the deep black surface of the puddle emitted a yellowish-bluish color.
Is this here? "Franka stopped.
Lumian recognized it for a few seconds and said, "Yes."
At this time, in addition to the warm and burning feeling in his nose, various parts of his body felt a little tingling, and blood seemed to flow out at any time. Franka, holding the carbide lamp, cautiously approached the puddle: "The problem now is how to avoid the monster you saw and find the mirror." Unfortunately, I can't jump between mirrors yet, I can only stay in it for a few seconds...
"I'll lure it out and tangle with it for a while, while you dive under the water and take out the mirror."
Lumian said without any modification: "I don't think you are a match for it at all." Just seeing its appearance clearly, I almost collapsed. ""Although Franka was a little angry and frustrated, she had to admit that what Lumian said was the truth.
With her sequence and the magical items she possesses, even if she fights with an Extraordinary who is one sequence higher, it is still possible to win. But judging from the performance of that monster, it is at least one level higher than her in terms of status! After a few seconds, Franka gritted her teeth and said: "Although I am not its opponent, my ability to escape and save my life is still very strong. I should be able to persist in front of it for a few seconds. As long as you can survive this period Just fish out that mirror and we can get out of here!"
Lumian laughed and said, "It's not time to fight yet." I have a way to hold the monster back for ten or twenty seconds without taking too much risk. You should be able to find the mirror, right? ""No problem for me, I have a special feeling for mirrors."
Franka looked at Lumian suspiciously, "Can you really do it? Is there really no risk?"
"Theoretically, there's not much risk," Lumian responded calmly.
At the same time, he silently added in his heart that if there is really too much risk, I will find another way, "Mr. K", Ms. "Hela", Ms. "Magician", that great existence and "Fate" ” powers are all options.
Franka stopped talking, pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I will help you make a mirror stand-in, just in case. Lumian will naturally not refuse anything that can effectively reduce risks. Wait until Franka He also took out a mirror less than the size of a palm and prepared a corresponding stand-in. Lumian held the ceremonial silver dagger and created a spiritual wall around the pond-like puddle; during this process, he always It was four or five meters away from the water's edge, and I was afraid of being dragged down by the monster.
Putting away the ceremonial silver dagger, Lumian looked at Franka and said with a calm smile: "The next thing involves some secrets of mine, can you turn your back on me?"
"Okay." Franka was quite satisfied with this candid attitude. She sighed in her heart again: "Did Jenna have some misunderstanding about Charles?" Seeing Franka turning her back, Lumian put down the carbide lamp and danced the "Dance of Recruitment". He wanted to Summon that monster, but don't let it attach to you! Lumian believed that the higher the level of the strange creature, the stronger the sense of pollution in his body would be, and the less willing it would be to possess him. In other words, as long as he did not use commands to influence the other party, the monster would be more likely to be a bystander. "Dance of Recruitment", he was eager to launch an attack, but was frightened by the seal and pollution and did not dare to put it into practice. It was not until the end of the dance that he really started to deal with him.
And a "Dance of Recruitment" lasts twenty or thirty seconds, which is enough for Franka to dive underwater and find the mirror. As long as Lumian can escape from this world before the monster takes action, there will be no subsequent problems! Of course, if he couldn't leverage the corresponding natural force here to make the "Dance of Recruitment" work, he would have to find another way.
In the sometimes twisted and sometimes crazy dance, Lumian's spirituality stirred up some natural forces, connected with them, spread out to the surroundings, and was blocked by the "spiritual wall". After a few breaths, waves rippled on the surface of the puddle, and a pale figure emerged. It looked like a human, with a swollen body and a huge face, taking up half of the body. The monster floated and flew towards Lumian stopped very close to the pool. Lumian did not dare to look at its appearance and condition. He half-closed his eyes and shouted: "Quick!" Franka did not hesitate to throw away the carbide lamp. , ran two steps, jumped into the water, and waves splashed with a splashing sound. The cold and wet feeling then penetrated Franka's skin, and almost lightless darkness came into her eyes.
Relying on the light of the carbide lamp that penetrated the water surface, Franka quickly dived to the bottom. Suddenly, dark things with hair like water plants stretched out from the surroundings. They seemed to be alive and wrapped around Franka. Franka Without any entanglement, continue diving.
As soon as those "water plants" were about to touch her, black flames suddenly ignited. The black flames burned quietly in the water without any sign of extinguishing. However, those "water plants" did not turn into ashes, but they no longer had the self. Conscious feelings; they float in the water, swaying with the waves. Further away, a large number of "water plants" continued to pour in, blocked by layers of condensed frost.
Next to the puddle, Lumian was dancing the "Dance of Recruitment". Although he did not look at the monster, he heard a sound like the bursting of water bubbles in his ears, smelled a fishy smell at the end of his nose, and his body was hit by waves of coldness. Surrounded, this made Lumian's mind
A picture emerged from within. The swollen monster with a huge face was less than a step away from him, almost touching his back, and he could hear his "breathing"! .
Lumian gasped instinctively, not daring to let the "Dance of Recruitment" pause.
In the water, Franca, who had dived for some distance, finally sensed the existence of the mirror! "Her body suddenly melted, and Jing disappeared from its original position. Franka's figure was quickly outlined on the surface of the silver ancient mirror lying on the bottom of the water. She immediately climbed out of the mirror and took the item. She got up and swam toward the water, her face filled with joy. She had just confirmed that this mirror could really lead to an underground tunnel to the outside world! Beside the puddle, she saw the "Dance of Recruitment" approaching quickly, almost skin-deep. Lumian looked at the water a little anxiously. If Franka didn't come out yet, he was going to take out Mr. K's finger! At this moment, Franka held the mirror and swam amidst the sound of splashing water. When she reached the shore and jumped up, she didn't dare to look at the monster. She buried her head and ran to Lumian's side in a few steps and grabbed his wrist. The two of them became illusive at the same time, and the ancient mirror crashed on the ground. on the ground.
A scene was reflected on the surface of the mirror. Franka grabbed Lumian's hand and led him through a short dark tunnel to the front of the "cave" filled with light, and jumped out. After the light and shadow changed, Lumian found himself standing on a dim road, with a little light coming through in the distance.
Franka took out the mirror that acted as his stand-in with her backhand and found that the surface was covered with countless cracks and was about to break.
"What a risk." She sighed sincerely.
