Arthur was unable to exorcise the oil painting, but because the seal was destroyed, the devil in the oil painting was able to affect reality, but he could not think of any proper method for a while.
In desperation, he came to the church again. His original intention was to look in the mirror, but he found the new Father Claus, who was still awake and sitting at the desk, recording something.
What's a little strange is that Arthur can't see the light of Father Claus's soul. This is the first time he has encountered this situation.
He couldn't help but get close to him and saw Father Claus writing several different words in his notebook.
Arthur was feeling curious when Father Claus's chest suddenly lit up.
Klaus acted very nervous when he saw the light on his chest.
He hurriedly took out a silver necklace from his chest. Arthur thought it was a cross, but he didn't expect that the pendant underneath turned out to be a ring with a triangle inside.
The three corners of the triangle point to the sun, the moon, and a human figure.
After Klaus took out the pendant, he began to adjust it continuously. He separated a new triangle from the triangle. The whole pendant was like a mechanical watch movement, and it started to adjust continuously. spinning.
In this era, Arthur had never seen such a small and precise instrument. When he was looking at it in a daze, a white light suddenly shot out from the corner of the movement, pointing in the direction of Arthur.
At this moment, Father Claus was heard shouting at the top of his lungs: "Evil spirit, I order you to stand down!"
Arthur probably figured out the purpose of the instrument in Father Claus's hand. It should be a device that can detect evil spirits.
And I am just a soul, so I can only cause its reaction when I get very close.
Sure enough, after Arthur took a few steps back, the instrument gradually dimmed. Then he saw Father Claus, patting his chest and letting out a long sigh of relief.
He did not dare to stay in the church any longer, so he picked up his notes and hurried back to the lounge in the apse.
Father Klaus Heike's performance just now made Arthur a little interested, but he still kept a distance from the church.
So he didn't think any more and came to the magic mirror again.
In the soul state, the mirror cannot reflect his shadow. Unexpectedly, the same is true for this magic mirror, which looks like an ordinary mirror.
But how could Arthur believe it? Under his spiritual vision, he observed everything before and after, but still couldn't find any flaw.
He couldn't help but activate the five-pointed star pattern, and a white light hit the mirror. This time there was finally a reaction.
A black hole suddenly appeared on the mirror, and Arthur used the white light in his hand to see that there seemed to be infinite space inside.
While he was hesitating, a low voice of prayer suddenly came out of the black hole. Arthur immediately recognized that it was Irene's voice.
He couldn't help shouting "Oops" and rushed in without thinking about it.
As soon as he entered, the mirror surface immediately returned to its original state, but Arthur inside the mirror was in a dark space. He activated the nursery rhyme halo, but only the circle around himself was illuminated.
Arthur just looked for it while shouting Irene's name loudly.
But he couldn't hear Irena's answer at all. Arthur knew that he had fallen into the devil's trick. Just as he was hesitating, he heard Irena's prayer faintly in front of him.
He hurriedly ran in the direction of the sound, and gradually discovered a glimmer of light. As he ran closer, he saw Yirena wearing pajamas, praying behind a window.
Her soul is very pure, and as she prays wholeheartedly at this moment, she is as holy as an angel.
Seeing the hope of getting out, Arthur couldn't help but knock on the glass, but it had no effect. Only then did he remember that he could not affect reality in his soul state.
At this moment, Arthur finally knew that this was not a window at all, but Irena praying in front of the mirror before going to bed.
The devil took advantage of this and tricked himself into the mirror.
Arthur activated the five-pointed star pattern again, and sure enough, it had no effect. He knew that he could only go out if he found the magic mirror that came in.
Since Irene was not caught, Arthur was no longer anxious and sat down in front of the mirror.
After a while, Yirenai finished her prayer and seemed to be going to sleep. She came to the candle lamp and blew out the candle.
When the candlelight disappeared, the entire mirror also disappeared. Arthur reached out and touched it, as if the mirror had never appeared.
But Arthur had a suspicion and couldn't help shouting: "Come out! I already know how to get out of here."
"Hahaha!"
In the darkness, laughter suddenly sounded, and the sound shook the entire space, seeming to tremble with it.
"I like people who talk big, because their fantasies will be more tempting."
"I don't think I'm a liar. Why don't you come out and let's talk in person?"
As Arthur spoke, he kept looking for the shadow of the devil.
"I'm right next to you, don't you see?"
The sound came from Arthur's side, making him turn around quickly in fright.
He saw a person who looked exactly like him, doing the same actions as him, and actually had the same aura outside of him.
It was weird, as if he was looking in a mirror, but Arthur didn't feel that the person opposite him really had the same abilities as him.
He hurriedly raised his right hand and activated the five-pointed star pattern, and the other party followed suit and did the same.
The next moment, two waves of white light collided together, and Arthur instantly felt the pressure, as if he was in a duel with an opponent who could rival him.
When he increases his strength, the other side increases his strength. When he decreases his strength, the other side also decreases. It is very synchronized with no deviation at all.
Arthur gradually stopped attacking, "Is this what you are capable of?"
I saw myself on the opposite side suddenly disappear, and then the devil's voice came again.
"That's just the basics."
Arthur nodded, "So now you can only become me, and then over time, you will slowly make me deviate from myself, and you will become the new me!"
In the darkness, the devil clapped his hands and said, "You are such a smart little cutie. I can't even bear to kill you."
"Oh! Then you want to let me go?"
Arthur was no longer nervous now.
"It's not impossible. Since you are very special, as long as you sign a contract with me."
"Have you not been summoned?"
"But I also need a little new freedom, you know the red tape always makes things cumbersome."
Arthur touched his chin, pretending to be thinking, and then suddenly asked: "Can you tell me, who summoned you here?"
