It seemed like a natural thing to hand out the note and be caught by someone, but a look of horror appeared on Danio's face. He ignored the note in his hand and kicked up his feet like springs. He was already in the air and rushed towards the glass window behind him that was obviously several sizes larger than the normal window. The hand held by the arm in the mirror broke free and grabbed the transparent cufflink on the other wrist.

But in the next second, his heavy body fell back to the ground and rolled on the carpet. His limbs were limp, his eyes were closed tightly, and the exposed skin on his face, neck, etc. showed an abnormal bright red color. His breathing was fast and slow, and his whole body was emitting a high temperature that was not what the human body should have.

He also grabbed the cufflink that could open the mirror and connect to Mirror World, and rolled it to the corner of the room.

At this moment, he had already contracted a fatal disease!

The darkened half-length mirror once again showed streaks of water, and a figure wearing a hood and cloak slowly walked out of it. It was none other than Angel who left the first floor just a few minutes ago.

"From the moment I walked in today, I noticed something was wrong. There are no other pedestrians on the street, and you have been living alone for a long time. Ordinarily, there shouldn't be a third person around except you and me..."

Angel walked step by step towards Danio Brown who was lying on the ground, his breathing gradually weakening. The latter's body was enhanced by "Hunter" Potion He was defenseless against the Demigod-level occult disease. If Angel hadn't controlled the effects of the disease and maintained it at a non-lethal concentration, he would have turned into a rapidly decaying corpse.

"So, who did this mirror fragment start to vibrate because of?"

Take out the mirror fragment obtained by "Mirror Person" who killed himself in the dream of "God War Ruins" from Mirror World and throw it next to Danio After getting on the carpet, Angel dragged a back chair from the desk and sat down. He put his right leg on his left leg, raised his neck, and looked down, as if Empress was looking at Sinner who was about to be punished.

Under her intentional control, Danio recovered from the dying Affliction, opened her eyes, and looked at the black mirror fragments that were shaking on the carpet and almost jumping up.

"No... impossible, I just didn't feel... at all..."

He gasped, his intermittent words filled with confusion.

That's because what I used for induction was another fragment that was made into Anti-Divination. The normal piece has always been in Mirror World... Angel let out a chuckle in his throat, ignored the other party's doubts, and continued to ask:

"Now that we know it, we can probably skip some of the identity verification processes... As Mirror Person, who replaced the original Danio, do you have anything else to say before you die?"

While "accusing" the other party, Angel shook off the note in his hand. It was the message Danio had just tried to put into Mirror World and sent to the unknown target. The content above was very simple, with only two short sentences of Intisian:

"Return immediately to Mirror World.

"Your identity has been exposed!"

There is no doubt that this is intended to be passed to the "Mirror Person" discovered by Angel.

Seeing the solid evidence, "Mirror Person" Danio was obviously not prepared to defend himself. He closed his eyes again and slumped on the ground weakly, enjoying the last moments of his life.

But Angel had no intention of letting him go just like that. The identity of the government official who had access to the Presidential Palace, when and where Danio was replaced by "Mirror Person" for what reason, and how many such lurkers there were behind them, these secrets were all in his head.

She doesn't have many methods at hand. "Dream Invasion" works well against Beyonder of Low Sequence, but the other party has been infected with a fatal disease. This method that requires a calm state to ask for the secrets in the heart is not applicable. After killing "Spirit Channeling", whether "Spirit Channeling" is effective against Mirror Person has yet to be tested, but...

The "Rose Necklace" gem on Angel's chest flashed with a hint of evil black, switching to the soul of "Mentor of Disorder", quietly releasing "corrosion", then she cleared her throat and said in a soft tone:

"Of course, killing you is something I can do or not do. What I want is the identity of 'Mirror Person' and the purpose behind him. A small character like you is not worthy of a Demigod."

She emphasized the strength gap between the two sides, but secretly stopped the erosion of the "disease". Although this could not make Danio recover instantly, with Beyonder's physical fitness, he could clearly feel that the power that made his limbs gradually colder and made breathing more difficult slowly dissipated in his body. He opened his eyes again and looked here.

The desire for life hidden in his eyes made Angel feel relieved.

If he was a brainwashed dead soldier, it would be a bit difficult for me to deal with. Fortunately, I saw his hesitation before issuing the warning... Angel chuckled secretly and increased the intensity of "Instigation":

"Anyway, the identity of this secretary has been exposed, and there is only one end. But I may be able to make some changes to your ending... For example, prevent 'Machinery Hivemind' and 'Purifiers' from taking action against you. As for whether you can escape Trier, it depends on you."

"What about you, will you do it yourself?"

It seemed that the "corrosion" had a good effect. The desire to live in his heart gradually replaced his normal thoughts, and he began to bargain...

"Me too, I won't take action, but I can't control what you do."

Angel stood up from the chair, looked at the other party condescendingly, and replied softly.

"...I'm just a small character and don't know too many things."

The other party's words were equivalent to a compromise. Angel felt happy, but there was only a calm expression on his face:

"First of all, tell me when you replaced the real Danio."

"It has been three years, specifically in February of 1347, shortly after the New Year..." After making the choice, Danio also showed a trace of relief on his face, as if he had put down a heavy burden, "After knowing that he is 'Nighthawks', everyone I originally wanted to give up this opportunity, because too complicated an identity can easily cause trouble... But not many people were accidentally 'contaminated', and for me, that was the only chance to leave the dark Mirror World, so I took the initiative to promote this matter."

"Pollute?"

Angel asked in confusion, controlling the "disease" to a level that would not cause death and would not make the other party unable to answer. She was not worried about Danio suddenly attacking back, but she was afraid that this fragile Low Sequence Beyonder would die accidentally.

"You don't even know this, so you come to investigate the issue of 'Mirror Person'?"

Even if it was just Sequence 9, this Hunter seemed to have some provocation instinct. He sneered and continued:

"Of course it comes from the pollution underground. If it weren't for the underground seal of Trier, this power would allow every Trier person to have their own 'Mirror Person', instead of only people who often go underground and are exposed to pollution for a long time..."

From the other party's intermittent answers, Angel learned that Danio accidentally came into contact with the location where the "contamination" leaked when he went to Underground Trier to investigate the smuggling case three years ago, and was secretly contaminated, and his own "Mirror Person" appeared, which is the "Danio" in front of him.

These unexpected Mirror Person will wander in an area that is almost a complete mirror image of Trier City, but without Sun, Moon and stars, it is extremely dark and The lonely Mirror World can only travel to a few places according to specific trajectories, and observe the outside world and their "original body" through mirrors. It is like serving a life sentence in the dark. This undoubtedly makes them full of resentment directed at their "original body".

Until one day, a "Mirror Person" with divinity and the ability to move freely in Mirror World found him and asked him to join a grand plan that required the joint efforts of many "Mirror Person". The reward he could get was to replace the real Danio and become a member of Physical World. He agreed without hesitation.

If I were Mirror World who stayed in the dark, I would probably agree if I had such an opportunity... Angel thought about it and continued to ask:

"How did 'Mirror Person' replace the original person?"

"It's very simple, drag him to Mirror World, and then kill him. Everything about him, including deep memories, Sequence of Potion, will belong to his 'Mirror Person'."

It sounds much scarier than "Grazing" and "Marionette"...

"What's your plan?" she asked immediately.

"Oh, I said, I am just a small character, how can I know the whole plan? "Danio heard another sneer from deep in his throat, which made his sickly expression extremely Distortion, "My task is to continue to regard myself as Danio Brown, lurking in Police Station, transfer to a civilian position, cooperate in modifying some files, and investigate other Mirror Person targets, just like you asked me to do."

"I'm afraid it's more than that," Angel asked with a sneer, "If you only need to do these things, will you risk replacing a Beyonder, or Beyonder who is a spy and has the identity of 'Nighthawks'?"

Danio Distortion's expression was startled, and after a moment he exhaled and replied:

"Of course there are other tasks. I am a member of a special team to protect the safety of an important person, so Beyonder's identity is more important than ordinary people..."

"That 'Mirror Person' secretary?"

Angel Thinking of the message he was about to send just now, his heart moved and he asked.

"Yes, his name is... Sheval Dumar. He has been replaced for more than ten years. He is able to reach his current position with the help of other 'Mirror Person' groups, but I don't know the specific details."

He obviously has something to hide. Maybe he can try Spirit Channeling for further inspection later, but if I ask him now, I'm afraid he won't tell... Angel thought for a moment and changed the direction of the inquiry:

"Tell me about the situation of 'Mirror World'. It sounds like it is very different from the one used by Mirror Magic of Demoness?"

"Demoness..." Danio murmured and repeated, glancing at the half-length mirror that Angel had just drilled out, and the corner of his mouth moved, "I don't know your magic, but the in the mirror Trier is different from other 'Mirror World', and is divided into two layers. The first layer is where I appear. The one that copied Trier City, but does not have Sun, is always in a dark world...

"The second level is what other 'Mirror Person' often mention, Trier of Fourth Epoch."
