Cooperation

Seeing Lumian looking at him with doubts, Franca simply explained a few words:

"'Witch' One of Pathway's core abilities is closely related to Mirror and the manipulation of Mirror World.

"When I just suspected that this really involved 'Witch' or 'Hunter' Pathway, I thought about whether we might have walked into a place in Mirror World unknowingly, so I tried it with Vanity Mirror to see if I could leave through that side of Mirror, but as you can see, it had no effect.

"Because of this incident, I had initially ruled out the possibility that Mirror World and 'Witch' were left behind, but now suddenly another Mirror appeared at the bottom of the water, suspected of hiding an exit..."

"So, you suspect that this is a specially processed Mirror World place, and all exits are restricted to a specific Mirror?" Lumian tried to understand Franca's thoughts.

"Yes." Franca nodded lightly, "But what I don't understand is that since we haven't encountered anything similar to a mirror, how could we enter this space inexplicably? Maybe my guess is Error's, or it is only partially correct..."

Lumian thought for a moment and sincerely asked for advice, "What is Mirror World?"

Franca scratched the ponytail on the back of his head:

"It's hard for me to explain this to you because I don't know it very well myself.

"Let me talk about it based on my understanding. In Mysticism, the mirror has some unique symbolic meanings, such as its own reflection, such as the entrance to another world. The former means that we can use Mirror to make avatars, while the latter represents Mirror World.

"It is often associated with horror, mystery, thriller, and weirdness. As for whether it hides anything or whether it is the real Alternate Dimension, I have no way of guessing. I only know that Mirror World is connected to different things similar to Mirror, and may point to some normally inaccessible spaces. When I improve my Sequence, I should be able to use Mirror World to quickly travel to different places."

Lumian Thinking back to just now, give full play to your imagination:

"Could the you we see be your reflection in Mirror World because of something that happened to you before you became 'Witch'?

"This can explain why I have never met Past."

"It makes sense, but I haven't encountered anything strange..." Franca said after some deliberation, "If this is the case, we must go to the puddle immediately. The exit is most likely there! We can no longer try and wait cautiously. As I just said, Mirror World is full of weird and terrifying things. I can't imagine what we will encounter if we continue to stay!"

"Okay." Lumian was still quite calm.

Franca turned around and ran, Lumian followed closely beside her.

This "Witch" seems to be using some kind of ability while running. Pieces of small Frost appear constantly under her feet, which brings about a sharp reduction in friction, and her body seems to have become weightless. The whole person shuttles between the dark Quarry Cavern and the deep Underground in a gliding manner. Within Tunnel.

Lumian, who has the dual identities of "Hunter" and "Dancer", tried his best to keep up with Franca without being thrown away.

In the coldness of winter, some thin ice cubes gradually formed on the surrounding rock walls.

On the surface of those ice cubes, faces full of blood stains stood out. They all had Distortion expressions and malicious eyes, like vengeful Evil Ghost crawling out of Hell Depths.

One of them is the former Franca, who was still Men!

After running wildly for a while, Lumian and Franca saw the puddle.

As the light of Carbide Lamp spreads to Past, the deep black surface of the puddle reflects a yellowish and bluish color.

"Is this here?" Franca stopped.

Lumian recognized it for a few seconds and said, "Yes."

At this time, in addition to the constant warm and burning feeling in his nose, various parts of his body felt a little tingling, and it seemed that blood would flow out at any time.

Carrying Carbide Lamp and Franca carefully approached the puddle:

"The problem now is how to avoid the Monster you saw and find the Mirror.

"It's a pity that I can't jump between Mirror yet, I can only stay in it for a few seconds..."

"I'll lure it out and struggle with it for a while. You dive into the water and take out Mirror?"

Lumian said without modification, "I think you are no match for it.

"Just seeing what it looked like clearly almost caused my body to collapse."

"..." Although Franca was a little angry and frustrated, he had to admit that what Lumian said was the truth.

With her Sequence plus the Mystical Item she owns, even if she fights against Beyonder, which is one Sequence higher, it is still possible to win, but judging from the performance of that Monster, it is at least one level higher than her in terms of personality!

After a few seconds, Franca gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am not its opponent, my ability to escape and save my life is still very strong. I should be able to persist in front of it for more than ten seconds. As long as you can fish out that Mirror within this time, we can get out of here!"

Lumian laughed:

"It's not time to fight hard yet.

"I have a way to hold down that Monster for ten or twenty seconds without taking too much risk. You should be able to find that Mirror, right?"

"I have no problem, I have a special feeling for Mirror." Franca looked at Lumian suspiciously, "Are you really okay? Is there really no risk?"

"Theoretically, there is not much risk." Lumian responded calmly.

At the same time, he silently added in his heart:

If there is really too much risk, I will use another method. The powers of Mr. K, "Hella" Lady, "Magician" Lady, That One Great Ones and "Fate" are all alternatives.

Franca stopped talking, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I'll make another Mirror Substitute for you, just in case."

Lumian will naturally not refuse anything that can effectively reduce risks.

When Franca took out a Mirror that was less than the size of a palm, and prepared the corresponding stand-in, Lumian held Ritual Silver Dagger and circled the pond-like puddle, creating a wall of Spirit Wall.

During this process, he was always four or five meters away from the water's edge, fearing that Monster would directly drag him down.

Put away Ritual Silver Dagger, Lumian looked at Franca, and said with a calm smile, "The next thing involves some secrets of mine, can you turn your back to me?"

"Okay." Franca is quite satisfied with this candid attitude.

She sighed in her heart again, "Does Jenna have some misunderstanding about Charles?"

Seeing Franca turning his back, Lumian put down Carbide Lamp and danced "Summoning Dance".

He wanted to summon that Monster, but not let it attach to him!

Lumian believes that the higher the status of the weird creature, the stronger the reaction to Corruption in his body, and the less willing he is to possess it.

In other words, as long as he does not use command statements to influence the opponent, then Monster is more likely to be watching "Summoning Dance", eager to try to launch an attack, but was blocked and Corruption Intimidation, afraid to put it into practice, and did not really start to deal with him until the dance was over.

And a section of "Summoning Dance" lasts twenty or thirty seconds, enough for Franca to dive into the water and find the other side Mirror.

As long as Lumian can escape from this world before Monster takes action, there will be no subsequent problems!

Of course, if he couldn't leverage the corresponding natural force here to make "Summoning Dance" work, he would have to find another way.

In the sometimes crazy dance of Distortion, the spirituality of Lumian stirred up some natural forces, connected with them, spread out to the surroundings, and was blocked by "Spirit Wall".

After a few breaths, waves rippled on the surface of the puddle, and a figure named Pale White emerged.

It looks like a human being, with a swollen body and a huge face that takes up half of the body.

This Monster floated and flew towards Lumian, stopping very close to him.

Lumian didn't dare to look at its appearance and condition. He half-closed his eyes and shouted:

"Quick!"

Franca did not hesitate, dropped Carbide Lamp, ran two steps, and jumped into the water.

With the splashing sound, waves splashed.

The cold and wet feeling then penetrated Franca's skin, and the almost lightless darkness reflected her Eyes.

Relying on the Carbide Lamp light that penetrated the water surface, Franca quickly dived to the bottom.

Suddenly, dark-colored things with hair like water plants stretched out from the surroundings, and they seemed to be alive Entanglement Franca.

Franca continued to dive without any entanglement.

Just as those "water plants" were about to touch her, black Flames suddenly ignited.

Black Flame and Burning were sitting quietly in the water, showing no signs of being extinguished, and those "water plants" did not turn into ashes, but they no longer had the feeling of self-awareness.

They float in the water and sway with the waves.

Further away, a large number of "water plants" continued to come, blocked by layers of condensed Frost.

Next to the puddle, Lumian danced "Summoning Dance". Although he didn't look at the Monster, he heard a sound as thin as the bursting of water bubbles, smelled a fishy smell at the end of his nose, and his body was surrounded by waves of coldness.

This made a picture appear in Lumian's mind:

The swollen Monster with the huge face was less than a step away from him, almost touching his back, and his "breathing" could be heard!

Hiss...Lumian gasped instinctively, not daring to let "Summoning Dance" pause.

In the water, Franca, who had dived for some distance, finally sensed the presence of Mirror on the other side!

Her body suddenly faded and disappeared from its original position.

Lying quietly on the surface of the ancient silver mirror under the water, the figure of Franca was quickly outlined.

She immediately crawled out from Mirror, picked up the item, and swam toward the water with a look of joy on her face.

She just confirmed that this Mirror can really lead to the outside world Underground Tunnel!

Next to the puddle, he saw that "Summoning Dance" was coming to an end, and the swollen Monster was getting closer and closer to him, almost making skin-to-skin contact. Lumian looked at the water a little anxiously.

If Franca doesn't come out, he will take out Mr. K's fingers!

At this moment, with the sound of rushing water, Franca took Mirror, swam to the shore, and jumped up.

She didn't dare to look at Monster, buried her head, ran to Lumian in a few steps, and grabbed his wrist.

The two of them became illusory at the same time, and the ancient mirror fell to the ground with a clang.

A scene then appeared on the surface of Mirror: Franca grabbed Lumian's hand, led him through a short period of darkness Tunnel, came to the front of the "cave" full of light, and jumped out.

After the light and shadow changed, Lumian found himself standing on a dim road, with a little light coming through in the distance.

Franca took out the Mirror that acted as his substitute with his backhand, and found that the surface was covered with countless cracks and was about to break.

"It's so dangerous." She sighed sincerely.
