"Is this... the world in the mirror?"

Looking at the dark passage that kept passing behind him, Audrey, who was surrounded by Angel's hands on his chest, opened his eyes wide, looked around excitedly, and murmured to himself.

The last outsider Angel brought into Mirror World was Helene, the captain of "Red Haired Woman", but as soon as the latter entered this mysterious world, he struggled and twisted like an uneasy quail.

However, Audrey, as a "newbie" who has almost never left Backlund and has been under protection, showed a rare high mood.

Angel was surprised and secretly took a detour, extending the journey to Douton Street, which was only a few hundred meters away from Böklund Street No. 160 and could be reached in the blink of an eye, to several minutes.

"This place is similar to Spirit World, but it is not in the same coherent world," she explained while leading the other person slowly through the passage. "Compared to the dangerous and vast Spirit World, the passage in Mirror World only leads to different mirrors. Therefore, such a spectacular scene can only be seen in the city. In the suburbs, There are only a few passages on the sea, and even fewer people can enter here. As far as I know, only the high-level Demoness, and those who use certain Mystical Item to activate Mirror Tunnel, can come here... Of course, there is also the 'Mirror Person' who was born in Mirror World."

"It's different from the process when Mr. World took me from Student Aid Fund's office to his home just now... But I prefer this feeling of walking through the quiet passage, which reminds me of some weird and beautiful dreams."

Audrey sighed with emotion, and opened his hands slightly, allowing Angel's hands reaching under her armpits to support her more easily. His green eyes looked at the bright or dark "mirror exits" at the ends of different passages, and suddenly said:

"It would be great if 'Spectator' Pathway had similar abilities. I could sneak out of the house in the dead of night, just like... just like Hazel."

In the process of comforting the frightened girl just now, she inevitably learned some of the other person's thoughts and memories, and learned that the daughter of a congressman who usually did not like to socialize but was actually full of adventurous spirit had a similar "inner world" to herself.

It seems that this aristocratic girl also has a strong adventurous spirit in nature, but this is also consistent with her behavior of buying Potion when she first came to Tarot Club. If she were other cautious nobles,, maybe they only pretend to be submissive, but in fact they don't dare to come into contact with me or "Hanged Man" among Gray Fog, let alone Mr. "Fool" who has mysterious beliefs...

Angel thought for a moment and said comfortingly:

"Yes, 'King of the Black Throne' has some kind of fast movement skills. I think this is related to 'Dreamland'... Isn't your next Sequence 'Dreamwalker'? Maybe it can gain similar abilities."

"King of the Black Throne, is that... one of Pirate King?"

Unsurprisingly, Audrey has long forgotten about this "Spectator" Demigod who can make people ignore his existence. Even with Angel's reminder, he only has a vague memory. But before the conversation between the two continues, this short journey in the mirror is over.

As a wave-like movement appeared on the surface of an unbroken mirror in the 25 Douton Street basement, the two figures appeared next to the mirror.

Slowly walking out of Angel's open arms, Audrey looked around and found that he was in a dark and damp basement. Except for mirrors of different sizes and directions, there were almost no other decorations around it. It was only illuminated by a dim gas lamp, making this place like a perfect place for murderers and corpses in crime novels.

Fortunately, next to him is "Empress" Miss who knows everything about Tarot Club. If it were someone else, then the weak "Spectator" wouldn't be able to deal with it., not to mention I haven't worn "Star Ring Headdress" and "Luck Hairpin"... She quietly glanced at Angel beside her, quickly dismissed the distracting thoughts in her heart, and asked inquiringly:

"What about those people who have suffered sequelae after being 'parasitized'? Are they upstairs?"

Based on what happened to the "patients" in Hypnosis Dantès's house and Maht's house just now, Audrey subconsciously thought that the problem to be solved this time was also the master-servant problem of a certain family. Even though this basement is relatively simple, it means that the house above is unlikely to accommodate double-digit people.

"No, they are scattered all over the street. There are residents, pedestrians and workers. Some have even left the street, but they haven't gone far yet."

Angel replied while sensing the approximate location of "Disease Seed".

Ever since she finalized the plan to use Hypnosis of "Justice" Audrey to have the victim pray to God in order to expel "Worm of Time", she had no intention of Looking for these parasitized people one by one and confronting them Hypnosis is not only inefficient, but also easily attracts the attention of other people, and even offends Beyonder of Storm or Church of Steam.

Arianna expresses the meaning of Goddess, obviously asking us to keep a low profile, and even agrees with victims of other faiths to pray to Goddess for help. If I cause trouble in the city, I am afraid it will not meet God's expectations... She murmured, activating the mirrors with her eyes to make them appear in different scenes in the rippling water patterns.

There is an old man in a carriage who is looking down at the newspaper and holding his glasses with his right hand from time to time. There is a lady who is enjoying the afternoon sunshine at home and squinting her right eye. There is a worker who has finished his work and is sitting on the street to rest, wiping his eyes nervously...

As the victims were located one by one, the mirrors beside them were activated, and the originally dark basement was gradually filled with light from different angles, making it as bright as the direct sunlight outdoors.

Looking at the different scenes from all over the place, Audrey opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Demoness next to him who showed a magical scene, and after a moment he said:

"Are these 'patients'? Can I suggest them directly through the mirror?"

There was uncertainty in her words.

The hint and Hypnosis are essentially Mind Body controlled by "Spectator", modifying their consciousness, influencing their subconscious, and making the target act contrary to their true will, although it does not necessarily have to be face-to-face. OK, but Audrey has always initiated hints and Hypnosis's behavior through face-to-face conversations. He has never tried to influence the target through objects, let alone stand in front of the mirror and "remotely Hypnosis" the target who does not know where he is!

This is an ability that is not available in the knowledge provided by Potion. It is a brand new challenge...

"I have not practiced it, but this method should be feasible," Angel said truthfully. "The mirror can transmit my power everywhere, as long as it does not exceed the range of the mirror that I can lock... Fortunately, it is not yet evening, and even the people who left Douton Street in a carriage are still nearby."

As she spoke, she looked sideways at Audrey and said sincerely:

"If you find it difficult, I can take you to each target as I did just now, Hypnosis them one by one, but I hope to complete all the hints in this secret and simple way to avoid the action being exposed... It depends on your will, Audrey."

It's up to me...Audrey's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. After a moment, he nodded heavily as if he made up his mind, clenched his fists, and replied:

"I want to give it a try!"

In the morning's "joint operation", she had Hypnosis alone a Sanguine Viscount who was equivalent to Sequence 5, and let him take the initiative to enter Earth Mother's church. As a "first battle", it was considered perfect, but just a few hours later, she learned that "Empress", "World" and "Blasphemer" Amon's clone located in Backlund had a very fierce battle. The danger of escape alone made a Beyonder girl almost lose control and affected countless innocent Passerby.

This makes her still yearn for the splendor of the extraordinary world and look forward to the adventures and adventures in life, but on the other hand she develops a fear of the cruel nature of this mysterious world.

If one day, I fall into despair like Miss Hazel, and my family is hurt because of my Error choice, will I be able to protect them... Audrey looks at the mirrors in front of me that show the lives of people at different levels, and feels inner peace for their ordinary lives, but also feels worried because these people's daily lives are destroyed.

So she wanted to "give it a try" and take a brave step forward to gain greater power.

Snap, she stepped out and came to the center of the basement, her eyes firm and her expression indifferent.

It seems that "Justice" Miss has made great progress after joining Tarot Club, whether it is Potion's Sequence or the change of character... Angel thought happily, waving her hands, and let Invisible Spider Silk lead the mirrors to Audrey. They were neatly fixed in rows and columns like display windows, so that she could see all the "targets" without turning her body.

The focus of these mirrors is exactly where Audrey is standing. If she is illuminated by multiple mirrors at the same time during a battle, it is enough for Angel to launch a powerful curse through the mirrors and focus on the enemy, producing an effect far better than a single mirror. But now, she wants to do the opposite and let Audrey, who is in the focus, use "Hypnosis" to reversely affect all targets in the mirror.

After doing all this, she nodded to Audrey, took a few steps back, and gave up the "stage" in the center of the room.

Then, the young dragon stepped out of his comfort zone.

"There are 12 Worm of Times in total. It seems that not every Parasite will spit out bugs, maybe some have been sucked away... They may like to wear monocles later, but there is nothing left by Amon in the body..."

Counting the small translucent insects curled up in front of him, Angel said with satisfaction.

She is not only satisfied with today's harvest, but also gratified that "Justice" Audrey can bravely try the new Beyonder Ability combination.

Although the latter looked tired, having been consumed by the large-scale Hypnosis transmitted through the mirror and the complex Mind Body control, most of his physical strength and Spirituality were consumed, but there was also a satisfied smile on his sweaty face.

"If 'Hypnosis' and 'hint' can be transmitted through mirrors, what about other abilities? For example, Nightmare..."

She moved her eyes away from Worm of Time and looked at Angel, who was looking normal after controlling more than ten mirrors at the same time. She seemed not to feel any pressure at all. She felt deep in her heart about the gap between Mid Sequence Beyonder and Demigod.

In terms of physical strength alone, I have no power to fight back... An idea suddenly came to her mind.

"It should be possible to achieve a similar effect... But today it is just for ordinary people. I controlled multiple mirrors without being discovered by them. If they face Beyonder with the same Sequence, the slight changes in the mirror will inevitably arouse their vigilance. Therefore, when facing Beyonder, they still have to perform 'meticulous' operations one by one."

Angel explained, picking up a piece of "Worm of Time" with his fingers and separating it from other trophies.

"Ordinary people... my parents, and Hibbert, they are all ordinary people. Faced with Beyonder's secret 'operation', I'm afraid they have no power to fight back..."

Audrey's excited expression slowly faded and he said slightly confused.

But she soon laughed again and continued to herself:

"Fortunately, today's several 'actions' have allowed me to fully understand my own heart. At least it has made me less 'naive' and able to know the direction I should move forward."

Angel also smiled, pointed at the single "Worm of Time" and said:

"This will serve as a 'reward' for your action today. I will make it into a Charm at the Demigod level. As long as it is used properly, it can pose a certain threat to High Sequence's Beyonder, and even have a chance to kill them... If you continue on the path to transcendence, sooner or later, you will face such a threat alone."

"The Charm that can kill Demigod..." Audrey muttered, his green eyes flashing with inexplicable brilliance, "Mr. World just promised to give me a 'Luck Stealer' Charm. It seems that your personalities and behaviors are very similar... Is this the reason why you came together?"

Without waiting for Angel to reply, she continued with a sly tone:

"But according to my observation, when Mr. World was first promoted, that is, after he returned to Backlund from the Southern Continent, he was actually very confused. This is my professional judgment as 'Psychiatrist'... Of course, he seemed to recover quickly and covered up his inner scars in a certain way of being 'more devoted to his current life,' but I think this method can only delay the outbreak of the problem, not the solution.

"However, every time he appears with you, the sadness hidden under the mask has improved significantly, which makes me more certain that only you can heal the pain in his heart.'Empress'Miss.

"So... I think you should find an opportunity to have a good talk with him to resolve his inner confusion and allow him to recover from his trauma. This is the suggestion of Psychiatrist, and it is also my blessing as your friend."

After saying that, Audrey turned her head, no longer looking at Angel, but towards the mirror wall that was still arranged neatly and curved, reflecting her figure.

Blessings... Thank you, Audrey.

Angel raised the corners of his mouth slightly, hugged her again from behind, and expressed his thanks.
