arms?
Angel, who was hiding outside the balcony, was stunned when he heard the words Arrodes said in the voice of "Dwayne Dantès".
At the moment, she only has a black mirror fragment that she just obtained from the dead "Mirror Person" Pierce Turner. She doesn't even have the revolver or "Sword of Dawn".
Does it refer to this fragment?
Thinking of this, Angel walked directly into the bedroom, looked at Klein standing in the center of the room, and then looked at Dawn sitting on the bed, with the same face but a completely different expression.
"Is this the weapon you are talking about?"
Angel asked, holding up the fragments in his hand.
Seeing her come in, the fake Dawn also bowed on the bed and bowed, then disappeared and turned back into the small dressing mirror that Angel handed to Klein.
Just like when Ikanser, the deacon of "Machinery Hivemind", used "2-111", words appeared on the mirror:
"Yes, dear Mistress, this is a fragment from a special 'Mirror World'. Although it will not cause harm to ordinary people, the pollution contained in it may cause me to experience abnormalities."
At the end of the text, a "scared" expression composed of various symbols appeared.
But I see that you are not too afraid of it. Could it be that this is reminding me to be careful about this kind of mirror fragments, or to pay attention to the pollution in them... Angel thought about it, holding the fragments a little farther away from the mirror Arrodes.
The words in the mirror continue to emerge:
"This kind of fragment is owned by some special 'Mirror Person', and it is related to the pollution underground of Trier of Intis, but the level involved is too high, and I can't see the specific situation.
"But you can keep this mirror fragment with you. If there is another 'Mirror Person' with a mirror fragment nearby, it should react. Of course, this means that the other party is likely to have discovered your presence."
It sounds like "Mirror Person radar". Is this how they rely on to identify "themselves" to each other?
Angel nodded and threw the mirror fragment into her "Mirror Space". Rather than discovering other hidden "Mirror Person", she currently needs to hide her identity to avoid being discovered.
Keep it on your body, maybe one day some noble or Rich Merchant will sneak up to me and greet me in the unique way of "Mirror Person"... She sketched this scene in her mind, and her vision went dark.
"Next, you need to answer me a question." During her thinking, a line of text reappeared on the mirror, "Are you willing to call me and send me at any time within the Backlund range by drawing this symbol?"
A complex mixture of symbols simultaneously representing secrecy and voyeurism appears below.
Isn't this the summoning symbol Klein mentioned to me before? Unexpectedly, he said that Arrodes would "happily agree", but he was so cheerful... Angel didn't know what to say, and after a moment he slowly replied:
"I do."
Without looking, she knew that what was reflected in the mirror was something like "a wonderful answer."
After the text completely disappeared, Angel asked the next question:
"Arrodes, you have shown extraordinary respect for me and Klein. This attitude is even a bit, um, flattering. I judge that we are not trying to use our abilities to escape the shackles of Church of Steam. So, what 'characteristics' do you see in me?"
This is a question she has had since she came into contact with "2-111". After "Orange Light" Hilarion pointed out her own uniqueness, this doubt reached its peak, and she finally had the opportunity to ask it out.
What surprised her was that no words or pictures appeared on the mirror.
It wasn't until about 10 seconds later that Arrodes answered cautiously:
"I can't see through this layer of reality. It is somewhat similar to the power hidden underground in Trier, but what I know clearly is that the closer you are to the master, the higher the importance of this power.
"I can only show part of the symbol. This is not the actual scene. It represents the 'authority' of that power."
The text disappeared, and a Apocalypse-like scene appeared in the mirror, with volcanoes, lava, floods, broken Earth Mother, and a collapsed sky.
Angel and Klein looked at each other, and they simultaneously thought of the name at the top of Sequence in the "Demoness" card:
Sequence 1, "Apocalypse".
There is no doubt that this "speciality" is the assassin, or the power at the top of Demoness Pathway...
Then, are the other special things about me, such as the inexplicable resurrection and the powerful Charm made from blood, also derived from the power at the top of Pathway?
And the same power appeared in Intis's Trier underground?
No wonder "Mirror Person" Pierce mentioned Trier before his death. He thought that as High Sequence's Demoness, I should be aware of the power hidden there, even related to "them", and should not be detrimental to these Mirror Person who also originated there...
After thinking for a moment, Angel turned his attention to Arrodes again, waiting for the other party's questions.
The light flashed on the mirror, and words jumped out quickly.
"Dear Mistress, can I leave temporarily? Those Beyonders of 'Machinery Hivemind' are going to use Sealed Artifact to investigate the incident that happened to East Borough tonight."
This is not a problem, this is obviously a reminder, let us be careful about Three Great Churches's investigation... But before I left, I only noticed Evernight and Storm's Demigod approaching, but I didn't expect Church of Steam has also been dispatched. Since Great Smog, they have been completely overwhelmed. This is still the result of Goddess Church secretly obstructing and delaying their arrival. Otherwise, I would have been blocked in an alley before I could solve "Mirror Person"...
Angel glanced at Klein and saw that he had no other questions to ask, so he nodded and said:
"Okay."
"Thank you for your generosity, Humble Arodes looks forward to serving you next time."
After a wave of goodbye expression composed of symbols, the small mirror returned to calm.
"So," Angel looked away from the mirror after a long time, "What's the result of Grazing?"
When she and Klein met at the cheap hotel of East Borough, the latter had already entered Book World Grazing and Mr. X had died not long ago and Spirit Body had not yet dissipated. Then the two of them hurried back to North Borough and heard the embarrassing words of Arrodes disguised as Dawn outside the window. This gave her no chance to ask about the harvest of this operation.
"I'm pretty lucky. I got the most important 'Travel' ability, and the second one is the 'Door Opening' ability that can only be obtained by Sequence 9."
Klein explained.
Door Opening, isn't that the ability of "Master Key"? It seems that the only use of Mr. X's Spirit Body and Beyonder Characteristic is "Travel"... Angel didn't know whether to feel happy or regretful, so he could only chuckle and continued:
"My mission over there is also completed. 'Mirror Person' Pierce died in my hands, and the characteristics were returned to the church. The murderer is undoubtedly 'Aurora Order'. Even if the investigation is in-depth, the most we can find is Mr. A and Lady Despair, with a 'Demoness Sect' attached."
Except for the unexpected and reasonable appearance of Aurora Order Saint, that Black Armored Knight, all the expected goals have been completed, which can be regarded as a perfect action.
After everything calms down, maybe you can ask "Goddess's Sword" Cesimir if this contribution is worth lending out the Antigonus Family Notebook and letting Klein read it.
But Angel didn't have much joy in her heart. The question "Mirror Person" was not the End. It still left a clue pointing to Trier, and it was closely related to her specialness.
I'm afraid I have to find time to go to Intis. With my current "personality", it's not strange to go back... But before that, I must ask Black Cat Wensa, or even talk to "Unaging" Demoness Katarina to see if they know the situation of Trier.
I hope that when I see Katarina, the black mirror fragment will not show any prompts, otherwise it will be a horror story... Angel muttered, and saw Klein take out a gold ring set with rubies from his pocket and hand it over.
There was a buzzing sound, and her mind suddenly went blank, and then she remembered the name "Mistress" that Arrodes had just called so smoothly.
"This is Mystical Item that I found on Mr. X. Apart from that, there are only 48 pounds of banknotes and a pipe. I always feel better than us... What's wrong with you?"
Klein introduced the origin of the ring and found that Angel fell into a sluggish state as soon as he took it.
Could it be that the negative effects were triggered as soon as he got it... He was a little stunned. Just when he was about to ask again, he saw that Angel returned to normal, with an embarrassed look on his face. He put the ring close to his eyes and observed it carefully, so he continued:
"... It's called 'Blood Flower'. The information I got through divination is that it allows the wearer to control his own flesh and blood. As long as he doesn't die directly, he can gradually recover from his injuries. It also comes with some Flesh Magic."
"Well, it sounds similar to, Rose Necklace, maybe Beyonder Characteristic of Rose Bishop of Sequence 6," Angel replied with some stuttering, "What about the negative effects?"
"It will randomly make the wearer give up thinking and lose their mind. There is no pattern. It may only happen once a day, or it may occur continuously."
Klein explained angrily and funnyly, feeling sorry for Mr. X in his heart.
There is no doubt that Aurora Order Oracle suddenly appeared sluggish during the battle because he accidentally triggered the negative effect of "Blood Flower".
Of course, calling him unfortunate may be an injustice. At that time, there was a "Nightwatcher" on the field who gave a certain Misfortune to Mr. X, making the only Mystical Item he had on him become an accomplice in his death.
Could it be that after "Snake of Mercury" Ouroboros paid attention to him, he also obtained some kind of "Misfortune"...
The two lamented Mr. X's misfortune, and decided to give this ring to "Admiral of Blood" Senior who was already dead and did not need to think about it. He only obeyed the orders of "Marionettist" to use it. Angel was ready to leave.
After all, "Dwayne Dantès" is still in bed due to illness. After the housekeeper and servants send Bishop Electra away, they might come back to see him, so Angel is not prepared to stay for a long time.
Seeing Angel touching the full-length mirror in the bedroom, his body quickly disappeared into it. Klein had undisguised disappointment on his face. He approached the mirror and reached out to touch the mirror surface. He felt that tonight's harvest was not so worthy of celebration.
Suddenly, the mirror in front of him that reflected his disappointed expression became illusory and blurry, and Angel's face emerged from it, right next to his reflection.
Then, Klein in Physical World felt a warm, soft touch on his cheeks, and a chuckle passed into his ears.
Immediately, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
