Christina When he came back to his senses, he was already floating in a dark passage. More passages around him were intertwined and connected with each other, spreading up, down, left, and right like spider webs. Some were connected to other large or small "mirrors" at very close locations, and some led to infinity and gradually disappeared in the dim background.
She and her sister Dorothy, who was dancing and a bit panicked beside her, were held by Ms. "Chariot" who had just patted her on the head with her slender and powerful arms. She kept shuttling through the spider web as if she had lost the restraint of gravity, flying slowly but urgently.
This kind of flying is completely different from being given the corresponding ability by Glaide Sauron, flying in the air at a speed exceeding the sound. Instead, it has a leisurely and relaxing feeling.
But the "mirrors" that repeatedly passed by and showed pictures told Tina that they were approaching a certain destination at a speed far faster than the speed of the incarnation of flames across the ocean.
"Don't be afraid, this is 'Mirror World'."
Ms. Chariot clamped the struggling Dorothy tighter and explained in a soft tone.
Mirror World? "Genie" mentioned that it is an exclusive space for high-ranking Demonesss... So, Ms. "Chariot" is a Demoness?
Tina As soon as she made a guess, she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. She followed her intuition and looked to the position "below" her, and noticed that the channels representing the connections between the mirrors penetrated into a thick fog, gradually turned into red and black, and then disappeared.
Where is that place, the abyss?
Tina's heart tightened, always feeling that there was something Great Terror hidden behind the thick fog. He quickly looked away and looked forward, finding that the passage containing himself, Dorothy and Ms. "Chariot" had reached the end.
With the sound of glass breaking, her eyes lit up, her body felt its own weight, and her feet stepped on solid Earth Mother.
Unlike Giant King’s Court, which was eternally frozen in the dusk, and Afternoon Town, which had been shrouded in night, the blue sky reappeared above Tina, and the west-slanting Sun still spread its light and heat to Earth Mother. There were dense forests and rolling hills in the distance, and not far away was a small city that did not look very big.
Tina and Dorothy are standing in an open space not far from the town.
"Okay, I'll send you here, I'm leaving too."
Behind the two of them, Ms. "Chariot" let go of her arms around them, clapped her hands, and smiled with satisfaction as if she had completed the task.
Send...Tina glanced around and immediately realized that she was no longer near the East Continent or "Giant King’s Court". Judging from the time difference she had discussed with Dorothy before, the two of them might have returned to the Rhoside Islands, or simply returned to the North Continent.
But realizing that "Chariot" was about to leave, she didn't care to think about it and immediately stopped the other party:
"Wait a minute, Ms. Chariot, I want to know what your relationship is with our mother?"
She looked expectantly at the face that had many similarities with her mother but was different in details, but she just waited for a faint answer:
"My name is, Angel Gray."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ms. "Chariot"'s body faded and disappeared like a phantom in the mirror.
Ah...Tina stretched out his hand to grab the opponent, but missed.
"Angel Gray... I thought her last name would be 'Granger'..."
Dorothy on the side murmured in a low voice, frowning, obviously the other party's answer was beyond her expectation.
Yes, I thought she was my mother's sister, just like Aunt Lily... Tina retracted his arm angrily, and then asked in his heart:
"Genie, do you know the lady just now? 'Chariot' Angel Gray?"
"I know," the voice that was majestic and majestic most of the time, but occasionally pretended to be weak, replied immediately, "But if you want to know the relevant information, you have to use your last wish in exchange."
This answer made Tina stunned again. She originally expected that Genie would continue to pretend to be dead, just like he did when facing most powerful Beyonder, or explain some superficial information at will to get past it, but she did not expect that the information provided by the other party would be exchanged for a wish.
And that was her last remaining wish!
If this wish was wasted on helping Genie break the seal, then it would be completely meaningless for her to risk running away from home. Although Tina's worst plan was to give up the "mission" and delay it indefinitely without violating the agreement with Genie, she didn't know if this method was considered a breach of contract or whether it would anger this being who seemed to have high status.
Therefore, Tina thought for a moment, gave up communicating with Magic Wishing Lamp, and turned to look at his sister.
She still remembered that inside "Giant King’s Court", Arrodes suffered from the influence of "corruption" and began to randomly select targets to ask tough questions to Dorothy.
"Dorothy, do you know that your parents have unusual identities?"
she asked cautiously.
Although Dorothy didn't have time to answer the question at the time, Tina couldn't help but make a second wish, letting Ms. "Chariot" break in and save everyone, but the other party's hesitation at that moment already explained the answer to the question.
"There are some guesses, but not sure." Dorothy raised his head and looked at Tina, and replied thoughtfully, "I suspect that their work in 'Blackthorn Security Company' is just a superficial cover-up. In fact, they have another identity, and it should be related to the world of occultism."
"What's the reason?"
Tina asked in reply. She looked around and saw no one nearby, so she simply took out "Magic Wishing Lamp" from her bag and let Genie inside listen to their analysis.
Dorothy also picked up "Arodes's Mirror" found in his basement and continued:
"First of all, there are two pieces of Sealed Artifact in our hands. Arrodes claims to be just Grade 2 Sealed Artifact and enjoys some level 1 benefits. But the magic lamp in your hand is '0-05', which is ranked high even in level 0. How could it appear in the basement of an ordinary person's house?
"According to the church's classification, level 3 Sealed Artifact can be used with caution, level 2 requires caution. Once out of control, it may endanger life. Level 1 requires dedicated management and is kept secret from most people, let alone level 0 above it, which represents extreme danger and the highest level of confidentiality. Each Grade 0 Sealed Artifact is equivalent to a Angel.
"Whether they are secretly hiding, um, I mean managing these Sealed Artifacts by themselves, or relying on some method to limit the self-awareness of 'Magic Wishing Lamp', it means that mom and dad are not ordinary people."
Hearing this, Tina nodded slowly. She had similar doubts after getting "Magic Wishing Lamp", but what happened today was one after another. She went from Tingen to Backlund, and then Teleportation arrived at Bayam, was sent to the Southern Continent by Ghost Ship, and then turned into a flame and flew directly to the East Continent's "Giant King’s Court". He almost visited the entire world in half a day, and there was no time to think about the problems.
Dorothy, who already owned "Arrodes", naturally had more time to think about these doubts. The appearance of "0-05" only aggravated her suspicions.
"Then what?"
she continued to ask.
Dorothy seemed to have clarified his thoughts and spoke faster and faster:
"And then of course everything that happened along the way.
"Looking back now, Mr. Azik obviously noticed the unusualness of '0-05' and persuaded us to put it back where it belongs. The church has mastered Potion Pathway and is responsible for solving most occult incidents. He must be Sequence and Beyonder;
"We were misunderstood by the police at East Borough. After being put into the interrogation room, Uncle Benson arrived too fast. He either took Potion and became Beyonder, or there was someone or Sealed Artifact around him who could help him move quickly;
"The 'Random Door' in Aunt Melissa's laboratory that sent us to Bayam can simulate the ability of Traveler, which means that this is an experiment conducted on the premise of knowing the extraordinary power. She is likely to have been exposed to the world of occultism and has even begun to conduct in-depth research;
"And the Saint and Angel we met on the trip. Haven't you noticed that most of them are surprised by your appearance? You look so similar to your mother!"
"But Ms. 'Chariot' just now looks very similar to me. They may have mistaken me for her daughter..."
Tina retorted in a low voice, but Dorothy poked his soft waist with his finger as a punishment.
"In short, there are various signs that father and mother, especially mother, may have an unusual identity!"
Dorothy held the silver mirror in one hand and put his hand on his waist with the other in conclusion. He held his head high and faced Sun who was tilting to the west, his eyes sparkling.
But the next second, she hurriedly slapped away Tina's fingers that attacked her like a vengeance.
Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Tina said angrily:
"Now, let's ask the all-knowing Arrodes.
"Be careful, don't get electrified by it."
"It doesn't matter, you still owe me five questions."
Dorothy put away his relaxed expression and replied in a serious tone. He faced the silver mirror in his hand towards himself and Tina, and stroked the mirror three times.
Almost instantly, a mist of water appeared on the surface of the mirror, and silver-white words jumped out one by one:
"Arrodes is wrong, Arrodes should not have fallen, Arrodes will never dare to do it again!
"Little master, can you forgive the humble Arrodes?"
Dorothy, a little annoyed and a little amused, covered the front of the silver mirror with his palm, looked at Tina and said:
"Now I owe six."
Then, she nodded and answered the question raised by Arrodes:
"Yes."
Countless silver-white symbols and letters exploded in the mirror, like a bouquet of celebratory fireworks. They Blink turned into a line of text like electricity:
"Thank you for your kindness and generosity, now you can ask your questions."
Without further delay, Dorothy asked in a deep voice:
"Arrodes, why are you so afraid of me?"
She originally wanted to ask directly about her parents, or their relationship with "Chariot" Angel Gray, but the "little master" the other party called just now made her more curious, so she temporarily changed the question.
Anyway, this question was also given by Arrodes.
As soon as she finished speaking, the words inside the silver mirror changed:
"It's not fear, it's respect."
This answer was extremely brief and did not include any extra pictures, but it made Dorothy and Tina look at each other with even weirder expressions.
There is no doubt that this "respect" does not come from herself, but from her parents.
When I learned about the "Beyonder Characteristic genetic pattern" before, I specifically asked my parents if they were High Sequence Beyonder, but Arrodes denied it. This point, but I may have overlooked the probability that Low Sequence Beyonder did not inherit the characteristics to us... Dorothy thought about it and continued to ask the next question:
"Are my father and mother Beyonder? From Sequence 9 to Sequence 1."
Only one big word appeared on the surface of the silver mirror:
"No."
It's not even...Dorothy is a little disappointed.
After today's wonderful adventure, she, like Tina, began to look forward to whether her family really had some kind of occult inheritance, but reality gave her a heavy blow.
Tina, who was staring closely at the silver mirror, curled his lips and reminded:
"You should just ask mom and dad who they are."
"Do you think I haven't tried it? Arrodes will only show Blackthorn Security Company's office, as well as the uncles and aunts we are familiar with. Even if there are deeper secrets, I'm afraid it won't be able to answer, or it won't be willing to answer.
"He just called me 'little master', who do you think the 'master' will be? Who will he prioritize?"
Dorothy choked Tina a few words in annoyance, then realized that there was something wrong with his tone and whispered sorry.
In order to show her apology, her next question was handed over to Tina, who conveyed it herself:
"Arrodes, tell me the relationship between Angel Gray and Angel Granger."
This time, Yin Jing was silent for nearly a minute before a blurry picture emerged in the rippling water.
It was Angel Granger, who was wearing a white dress and her long hair tied back, standing in the bathroom, facing the half-length mirror in a daze. In the mirror, which was stained with blood and had a lot of cracks on the surface, another Angel who was exactly like her also reached out and touched the mirror. Their fingers were aligned, as if they were touching each other through the mirror.
Before the two of them could see more details, the picture in the mirror quickly disappeared, and a line of text appeared instead:
"Sorry, I can't see any more connections. This involves the power of Angel or higher."
Angel...Dorothy looked at Tina and found that the other party was not too surprised, and of course, she herself was not too surprised.
From how Ms. "Chariot" could transport them here from the East Continent in just a few minutes, Dorothy had already guessed that the other party was most likely Angel, the same as Glaide Sauron.
"The magazine "Spirit Channeling" said that the mirror leads to another world, which may hide a "Mirror Person" that is completely different from the real self. The picture just now may represent the close connection between mother and Ms. "Chariot", but the blood and cracks indicate that the two will eventually part ways..."
She tried to use mystical knowledge to explain the scene just now.
"You mean, like Ms. 'Chariot', my mother has the power of Angel or higher? But didn't Arrodes deny this just now?"
Tina crossed his arms and tucked "Magic Wishing Lamp" under his arm. He was not very satisfied with the answer provided by Arrodes.
"Let me tell you, Ms. 'Chariot' Angel Gray might be Aunt Lily's long-lost brother Cole Granger. He accidentally took 'Demoness' due to some circumstances. 's Potion turned into a woman. As a result, her appearance is almost the same as that of the female members of our family, with some masculine details... Wasn't this the case with Ms. Franca just now?"
She muttered quietly, venting her frustration.
"By the way, your question just now missed a possibility," Tina suddenly straightened up and said in a somewhat excited tone, "You only mentioned Sequence 9 to Sequence 1. What if, I mean what if, my mother is Sequence 0?" In this case, it certainly can't be called 'Beyonder', right? "
Huh?
Dorothy looked at his sister with a puzzled face, wondering whether the other party had been exposed to too much occult knowledge today, and she was already in a daze.
"Sequence 0 represents the top of a Pathway, which is True God, which is the 'Great Existence' in the mouth of those Angel!"
She lowered her voice and said, as if she was worried that the conversation would be heard by God in the sky.
"So I said just in case, why don't you ask Arrodes?"
Tina pouted in grievance.
Dorothy hesitated for a moment, nodded and said:
"This is the last one, and I'm leaving two questions to deal with possible dangers later."
She looked at the silver mirror in her hand again and kept her voice as low as possible, almost whispering:
"Arrodes, is it possible that our parents are from Sequence 0... God?"
"No."
Arrodes once again answered this almost blasphemous question with one word. At the same time, Dorothy heard two gentle sighs, one belonging to Tina and one belonging to herself.
Looking at the silver mirror that returned to normal before she could continue to ask questions and reflected the blue sky, Dorothy knew that more questions could only be answered after the next exploration and adventure.
"Anyway, it has been confirmed that there must be many secrets hidden in dad and mom. If you have not used two wishes before, you may be able to use one of them to seek answers from 'Genie'. In terms of personality, Grade 0 Sealed Artifact should be higher than level 2. He must know more things."
Dorothy carefully put away Arodes's Mirror and said to Tina.
"But now there is only one last wish left. Whether we can live in Backlund's villa, owning a suburban winery and East Borough's factory depends on it."
Tina patted "Magic Wishing Lamp", letting the empty lamp inside make a crisp sound, and then looked towards the small city not far away.
She can guess her current location without asking Arrodes to divine or "Genie" to answer.
Ever since she stepped out of the house today, there have been countless "coincidences" and "arrangements" that allowed her and Dorothy to go to every location smoothly, and this time was certainly no exception.
That is her next destination, the location of the sixth seal of "Genie".
Yarnam City.
