"Really?" Elena snorted coldly, "Since you say you are honest, then why do you pretend to be yourself?"
"Well, it's a long story, but it's not that long." The false mirror said carefully, "A long time ago, that cute little cracked doll holding a teddy bear insisted on playing hide-and-seek with me. I said, as long as I If you hide it, no one will..."
"So you disguised yourself as a painting and hid here all the time?" Elena interrupted it directly.
"Yes, shrewd princess, that's exactly what it is." The false mirror whispered.
Elena raised her beautiful eyebrows, and then said nonchalantly: "Well, since you say you are honest, then I will ask you three simple questions, just three! If you can answer truthfully, then I will believe you You, and I will complete my deal with you.”
"This is a great idea, shrewd princess!" The false mirror said excitedly, "Ask me, I can withstand all falsehoods, and I will definitely prove my honesty to you."
"So, first question."
Elena raised the corners of her mouth, and then hid her hands behind her back.
"How many hands do I have now?"
"Of course...two!" False Mirror smiled, "This is really a simple and ridiculous question."
Elena was noncommittal and just continued: "Second question, is there one less guest among my guests now?"
"Oh, hehe, it's another simple question." False Mirror looked very happy, "Of course, Your Highness, the Earl is having a headache about this matter."
"Good, then one last question."
As Elena spoke, she couldn't help but grin, with a hint of terror and a hint of morbidity.
[False Mirror San Value-0.2]
"This is truly the most charming smile I have ever seen so far." False Mirror was stunned for a moment and said, "So, what is your last question?"
Elena continued to smile, sickly and horribly: "My final question is: Are you, the false mirror, what my coming-of-age ceremony lacks - the hundredth guest!"
At this time, all the eyes on the frame started to spin: "This is really a simple and strange question. How could I be the hundredth guest you are missing? My answer is - no!"
Elena curled her lips: "I'm sorry I didn't make it clear just now. I think I should call you 'the special inviter of the unspeakable words'."
"Special invitee? No, no, no, I have no idea what you are talking about, Your Royal Highness the Princess. I said, I am not your hundredth guest, nor any of your guests. What I said It's the truth, because I am the most honest mirror in the world!" The false mirror tried to defend itself.
"You lied again."
"I never lie, Your Highness Princess." The false mirror grinded a row of fangs with a "clack" sound.
Elena smiled, stretched out a finger and said: "The first question is, when one of my guests is missing, the power will appear in the name of 'another me', so now I should have Four hands are the way to go.”
"Second question." Elena extended a second finger and said, "You said that one of my guests is missing! For a mirror whose words are always filled with falsehoods, how can it answer so surely? I think it must be because it has the privilege of being able to choose to 'accept' and 'give up' the guest status at any time."
"So when you answered me, 'There is indeed a missing guest,' you must have secretly accepted my invitation to the coming-of-age ceremony, thus making my guests normal. Therefore, the 'guest missing' you gave me The answer is still a lie."
A row of eyeballs in the mirror were moving around, as if each eyeball condensed an emotion. People couldn't figure out its state, and only felt chaos.
Elena didn't panic and stretched out a third finger!
"So based on the above inference, since you have the power to freely change the number of guests, it is enough to prove that you are the 'special inviter of the unspeakable word'! And you answered me 'no', so you are still lying!"
At this moment, a row of confused eyes in the mirror all looked at Elena, all showing annoyance.
"This is nonsense! Your Highness Princess!! I am the most honest mirror in the world, but your inferences are all based on the fact that every word I say is a lie! This is simply an insult to me!" The mirror was extremely confused.
"Honesty? Haha." Elena sneered, "Then, how do you explain my first question? Since you can withstand all illusions, how could you not know that I will do it when there are no guests? There are two selves, a total of four hands?"
"Princess, do you think that the illusion of power can be broken by my ordinary mirror?" The illusionary mirror argued, "Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that every word I say is true?" Is it a lie? If not, then you must apologize to me, my dear princess!"
The false mirror has cracked teeth, and every eyeball has an unquestionable look.
But Elena remained calm and composed, as if she was in control.
Yes, she had long suspected that what the mirror said was truth hidden in falsehood, just like Aunt Mary's advice - the third painting in the gallery always lies.
When she first spoke to the mirror in "The Future Is Visible", the mirror gave her a total of five messages.
1. It was playing hide-and-seek with the little girl holding the teddy bear, so it was disguised as a painting.
2. The frog's disaster is caused by the witch's heart. Alucard's bow tie is the witch's heart.
3. There is a powerful being who is immersing himself in fear. His power is equal to that of his father.
4. My guest is indeed missing one.
5. I have two hands.
Among them, Articles 2 and 3, Elena has personally verified in the foreseeable future, proving the false words in them - the heart of the witch is Alucard's buckle instead of the bow tie; the Dread Lord is more powerful than his father. A powerful existence, not a king level, etc.
The falsehoods in these two pieces of information are easy to verify, but that may also be a reflection of the mirror's insufficient power. It may not be able to break through the falsehoods that are too deep, so the information given will be very different from reality.
But when Elena heard Nini say that she had never lost in playing hide-and-seek to find someone, Elena was sure that there must be lies in every word of the mirror! Just like Aunt Mary’s advice!
Nini is her blood bonded person, she cannot tell lies to her master! Then, the only one who lies is the mirror!
This strengthened Elena's judgment - the mirror could definitely tell that one of its guests was missing, because it must have the ability to control the number of guests at any time.
It——is the 'special inviter of the unspeakable words'!
Therefore, it is not that it cannot withstand the illusion of power, but it has already known that in the absence of my guests, another version of myself will appear, with a total of four hands!
"You want evidence, don't you? Well, here it is."
Elena's tone is noble and elegant, but as cold as winter, like a queen who has the world under her control!
Then, she shouted towards the end of the corridor: "Alucard!"
