The force of this vibration is extremely slight, and it is hidden in the movement of the carriage wheels pressing through the gaps in the paving stones. If Angel were two Sequence lower, and the physical fitness was only at the level of Mid Sequence Beyonder, he might not even be able to feel the vibration of the mirror fragments wrapped in invisible silk threads.

But there is no doubt that a "Mirror Person" appeared within ten meters around her!

On the noisy Shady Avenue, how many people were around and how many carriages passed by?

Angel's purple eyes kept flashing with tiny bright spots, like mirrors reflecting sunlight. At this moment, she had used the high glass windows of the building facing the street and the decorative metal surfaces as "mirrors" to observe the carriage she was riding below and other people around her.

Six pedestrians, three carriages... She quickly locked onto all the suspects, and eliminated most of them based on the timing when the mirror fragments on her body stopped shaking, and targeted a carriage and two pedestrians - they happened to be ten meters away from Angel in the opposite direction.

Without the slightest hesitation, the figure of Angel sitting in the carriage was replaced by Mirror Substitution, and she herself entered "Mirror World" through the window glass of the black Vortex that kept shaking but became still at this moment.

In this mysterious and deep space that completely overlaps the reality Trier, illusory passages extend everywhere. Some of them are the architectural glass on both sides of Shady Avenue, including the ones Angel used to observe the surroundings just now. Some are constantly moving and are glass windows on carriages, and more point to infinity, which is dazzling.

Angel, who was accustomed to this kind of scene, quickly found a suitable "exit". He first made himself enter the "invisible" state at Mirror World, and then stretched out his hand and used the mirror fragments he held to identify one by one whether the target just now was "Mirror Person".

This method was very effective. The three targets gradually separated due to different speeds, and the mirror fragments would only react to "Mirror Person" within ten meters of the surrounding area. Within a few minutes, Angel confirmed the real target: the four-wheeled carriage.

Worried that getting into the carriage directly would alert the enemy, Angel just kept coming to different "exits" at Mirror World and followed the carriage in the direction of Triumphal Square, while the hired carriage she was riding in carried her "Mirror Substitution" and headed towards Opera House District in the opposite direction.

When I was first promoted, I probably would have been in a hurry because of such "dual-line operation", but now I have long been accustomed to the use of "Mirror World". Sure enough, the application of Mirror World is the core competency of Demoness, just like Secrets Suppliant Pathway's "Grazing", Seer Pathway's "Marionette"... Angel sighed, seeing the carriage parked next to the Philanthropy Palace as Presidential Palace. A middle-aged man with black hair mixed with silver wire quickly walked into the three-story building next to this magnificent palace carrying Briefcase.

After ruling out that the driver was "Mirror Person", Angel has confirmed that this man is the target of the fragment reaction in the mirror, and he should not be aware of it. The method provided by Arrodes is very effective!

But she did not rush into the three-story building attached to the Presidential Palace, because there must be a large number of official Beyonder guards nearby to ensure that Intis's political heart beats normally.

"This area must be guarded by Demigod, no less than two teams of Mid Sequence, who cooperate tacitly and have Sealed Artifact's Beyonder... And once a fight breaks out, 'Purifiers' and 'Machinery Hivemind' from the nearby church will arrive within ten minutes..."

After a little risk assessment, she went deep into Mirror World and quickly returned to the hired carriage along the way she came.

"I have seen clearly the appearance of this 'Mirror Person' just now. There is no doubt that he has completely obtained the identity and memory of the 'original owner' just like Mirror Person of Pierce Turner. I remember the interpersonal relationship and even continue to help him work... I just don't know whether this person is an ordinary government employee or Beyonder. What is the purpose of 'Mirror Person' to target him and replace him..."

Muttering secretly, Angel decided to hand over the task of investigating this person's true identity to "Nighthawks" the informant Danio Brown who had been stationed at Trier for 8 years. The latter was a civilian in the police system and had access to a large number of files and files, so he should have his own methods.

"This is the benefit of sealing the two-way connection between the mirror fragments. Otherwise, 'Mirror Person' must have discovered my peeping at that moment just now. At least he would be more vigilant, at worst he would run away directly, or even warn other companions..."

Thanks again to Arrodes for his contribution, Angel removed the stand-in and sat back on the soft but very bumpy seat.

At this moment, her Spirituality showed a hint of alertness.

This was not an intuition of danger, but Spirituality's reminder of something she had ignored.

"I was actually exposed just now? Is it Mirror Person, or is it the official Beyonder..."

Angel was thinking, using simple divination that she could perform with her eyes, and denied all the possibilities she proposed, until finally, a carriage following her from a distance appeared in her illusory vision.

It turned out to be a stalker... This made her feel relieved, because such an obvious stalking could only come from "Baron Nicola" who just completed the transaction. The other party obviously lost her in the alley, so a real Beyonder who was good at tracking came and followed her again, chasing her all the way from Shady Avenue to Opera House District.

"Nicolas is a smuggler trained by the Sauron Family. The Beyonder he can command is most likely 'Hunter' Pathway. This Pathway has had powerful tracking and anti-tracking capabilities since Sequence 9. I was discovered in the safe house by various Hunter in Backlund..."

At this moment, Angel recalled the time when he first arrived at Backlund, and the two Sequence, Dominic and Vincent, who were different but had somewhat similar personalities, "Hunter".

Fortunately, the follower's Sequence should not be high. It is likely that he has just entered Mid Sequence, which is the level of "Pyromaniac", or even more High Sequence's "Hunter" It is unlikely to be used for tracking, and if Sequence is too low, no trace of this Demigod can be detected - even if Angel does not use Anti-Divination, nor does he deliberately cover up his whereabouts.

Such a stalker may just want to find out the residence of "Feysac people" who traded with Nicolas, and whether they have other conspiracies, especially the conspiracy against Sauron's home. After all, I just used Ilian Sauron, who disappeared for a long time and only recently reappeared as the captain of "Red Haired Woman"...Angel thought for a moment and decided not to care about the stalker, let him discover his true residence, and went back to report smoothly.

Otherwise, whether it is killing him or showing the ability to make "Hunter" untraceable, it will make Nicolas and Sauron Family behind him more alert, and the gain will outweigh the loss...

Thinking like this, Angel closed his eyes and took a short rest on the way back to Honest People Market District by carriage, recovering the trace of Spirituality that he had consumed by frequent trips in and out of Mirror World.

In the evening, Angel left the temporary residence "Riverside Hotel" again. As soon as he went out, he noticed the hidden line of sight and confirmed that the stalker of "Hunter" had not left yet.

"He didn't try to enter the hotel, he just stood guard at the door. It seems that my judgment was correct. Sauron's family and Nicolas didn't have much malicious intent. They just wanted to confirm my identity and whether it was related to Helene..."

She muttered, and continued to travel using the hired carriage, heading to a Beyonder party held every Friday night recorded in the informant Danio's notes. This was one of the few parties on the list that did not require the introduction of an acquaintance and could be entered as long as one knew the password. The grade was certainly not high, but it also allowed Angel to buy some Spiritual Materials used to make Charm and bullets, which could be used as a pastime during the lonely hours at night and to confuse the stalker.

After all, it is too suspicious for an arms smuggler to stay in the hotel except for business contacts...

Sensing the sight of "Hunter" emblazoned far behind, Angel chuckled and knocked on a secret secret door according to the frequency and severity described in the note.

Following the deputy editor of "Spirit Channeling" magazine, Fors Wall, wearing a hood and a brass mask hanging on his face to cover his face, walked into a four-story building opposite Shell Street Police Station.

The underground magazine opened in the core area of Trier, and the Beyonder party was held opposite Police Station. The fashion of Trier is really not something I, a Loen person, can understand. If I hadn't wanted to try my luck to see if I could buy "Scribe" I need another Main Materials, so I won't risk coming here..."Magician" Fors muttered, steadying the mask on his face, watching this mysterious, even crazy deputy editor knock on the door at intervals of three long, two short and one long.

After a while, the door was opened, and Fors followed the deputy editor, who quickly proposed to take her to the party after learning that she was interested in the occult, into the dim corridor and walked deeper into the building.

She has quietly touched the "Leimano's Travel Notes" under the cloak with one hand. After being used by Tarot Club, this notebook has recorded multiple defensive and offensive Beyonder Abilitys, a "Traveler's Gate" that can quickly escape danger, and even Demigod level lightning and tornadoes.

If there is an ambush, I will throw down the tornado, then "Teleportation" to leave, and finally use "Mirror Substitution" to interfere with the divination and escape. The movement of the tornado will definitely attract the police and the official Beyonder, arrest these people... She had already conceived the entire escape process in her mind, and before she had time to think about whether Sequence 7's Spirituality was enough for her to do so, she felt her eyes light up.

An open door appeared at the end of the dark corridor. There were many candles lit along the wall inside. The dense candlelight reflected a dozen men in black robes sitting casually in the room.

At this moment, Fors had the illusion that he had joined a cult and was attending a secret meeting.

But compared with "Tarot Club", I don't know how low the style here is...

She muttered secretly and followed the deputy editor into the room. After carefully finding a chair in the corner and sitting down, the tall man on the single sofa in the middle, also wearing a hooded robe, said in a low, hoarse voice:

"Let the party begin."

Following his instructions, several masked waiters moved onto a mobile blackboard with wheels, which was densely filled with various transaction requirements. Except for the currency unit Verl D'Or, which was Intis, the rest was not much different from the party of Backlund.

It's such a familiar process. Wait, no waiter will come to me and hand over a piece of paper, so I can write down my needs on it...

Fors's heart tightened, and the memory of attending Beyonder's party appeared in her mind. Just as she looked around, a waiter walked towards her through the messy tables and chairs and handed over a note and pencil.

"It's your first time here. If you need anything, you can write it on a note and we'll post it on the blackboard, or call out the transaction items directly. Well, Mr. K recommends the former method, unless you're not afraid of being followed and attacked after you leave."

The waiter introduced the rules of the party in a low voice, his eyes narrowed behind the mask, very considerate.

But Fors's ears have blocked other words, leaving only one word.

"Mr. K!"
