After the Resurrected Female Corpse retreated into the Gloom Tunnel, Franca's first reaction, as soon as her figure was outlined, was to use the "Ice Talisman" that Lumian had remade to catch up with Jenna and Anthony before the other party had completely left this Mirror World.

Her hand grasped the crystalline Charm she had already taken from the "Traveler's Bag," but her spiritual intuition made her pause.

The destination of the Resurrected Female Corpse "Mirror Traversal" is unknown. Perhaps she has companions to meet her. If you rashly chase after her, you may fall into a trap!

Moreover, such a chase would mean separating from Lumian, making them vulnerable to being picked off one by one.

Franca stared for two seconds, then immediately said to Jenna, Anthony, and Ludwig, who was still munching on "air," "Leave here, go to the Surveillance Room!"

The Resurrected Female Corpse has Concealment at the edge of the Tunnel for who knows how long, creating countless Mysticism Pathogens. Those who remain in this area will become increasingly infected until they develop the disease!

However, if Ludwig were to eat like this, who knows how long it would take to clear out the ever-reproducing Mysticism Pathogens Mysticism Pathogens? More importantly, the sealed Angel's physical condition had also been reduced to Sequence 7. The mystical pathogens he ingested wouldn't affect him, but the Mysticism Pathogens that eroded his skin, eyes, and respiratory tract would definitely infect him.

Then it will be a matter of whether Ludwig finishes the Mysticism Pathogens first, or whether the Mysticism Pathogens defeats him first.

In addition, Franca and Jenna's "Witch" Black Flame were also limited by the Dream, and could only be created in small clusters, unable to burn the Mysticism Pathogens in the surrounding area in a flood-like manner, thus creating a sufficiently safe environment.

However, the limitations of the Dream have both advantages and disadvantages. The "Plague" ability of the Resurrected Female Corpse was also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level, preventing Franca and the others from being infected and developing symptoms so quickly.

Jenna and Anthony did not question Franca's decision; only Ludwig was reluctant to let go.

You should eat even when you're sick!

I'd eat it even if it killed me!

Jenna grabbed the little boy and, with her physical abilities reduced to Sequence 7, forcibly dragged him out of the Mirror-Behind Region.

In this critical moment, Jenna felt the "Pain" Potion being digested once again.

"Let me go! Let me go..." Ludwig hadn't finished speaking when he had already passed through the mirror and arrived in the Surveillance Room.

But they didn't see Lumian.

"Lumian was attacked too?" Franca asked, her expression grave as she quickly glanced around.

Or perhaps they went off to chase after an enemy?

As soon as Franca finished speaking, she saw that every scene on the large screen had changed.

They recreated the scenes of the Resurrected Female Corpse appearing at noon.

Within those scenes arranged in a crisscrossing matrix, the Resurrected Female Corpse, originally part of the surveillance footage, either raised their heads or half-turned their bodies, all looking out of the screen.

Wearing white dresses and with their hair loosely tied up, they instantly had the same Change in expression. Their fair and delicate hands reached out one after another towards the camera, out of the Surveillance Screen, and towards Franca, Jenna, and the others outside.

One by one, they crawled out of the screen, their faces dark, with occasional flashes of light.

Seeing this, Franca, relying solely on her spiritual intuition and "Witch's" eyesight, was momentarily unable to distinguish which of the many Resurrected Female Corpse were real and which were fake.

For a moment, she even wondered if it was all true or all false.

She took out the "cannon," which had become the "gun Cannon-Firing Gun Certain-Hit Gun," aimed it at the surveillance screen, and intended to shatter the screen, so that the Resurrected Female Corpse, who had not yet fully crawled out, would be thrown into the Depths of the "Surveillance World" as the area behind the screen shattered, making it impossible for them to return to reality.

Franca's finger was on the trigger, but she didn't pull it.

She suspected that Lumian's disappearance might be due to her entering the "Surveillance World." If the screen were shattered, and the "Surveillance World" truly possessed some characteristics of the Mirror World, Lumian would also be swallowed by the turbulence, which would be extremely dangerous.

Although Franca was unable to react in time, she still had companions.

Anthony stepped forward, his Eyes narrowing and turning a pale gold.

He immediately exuded a terrifying aura, as if he were at the top of the food chain.

"Intimidation!"

He used a wide-ranging "Intimidation" tactic targeting that Surveillance Screen!

The Resurrected Female Corpse that crawled out of the surveillance camera froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

They seemed not to have Resurrection; they remained female corpses and naturally did not experience fear or panic due to the Intimidation!

Jenna quickly turned her head, pointed at the Resurrected Female Corpse, and asked Ludwig:

Which one tastes the best?

The best-tasting one should be the main ingredient!

Judging whether a food is delicious or not was Ludwig's specialty!

Ludwig swallowed hard, pointed to the monitor screen in the lower right corner, and said, "I want that!"

"That one tastes the best!"

Before Ludwig could answer, Franca had already vanished. When he pointed out the food he wanted most, Franca, dressed in a black T-shirt and Women's wide-legged pants, quickly appeared in the side of the Resurrected Female Corpse in the lower right corner.

Holding the "Certain-Hit Gun" in one hand and the "Chilling Blade" that was almost invisible in the other, she thrust the latter at the target who had not yet fully climbed off the screen, aiming for the temple next to the delicate ear.

With a snap, the Resurrected Female Corpse shattered like Mirror, and the figures of the other female corpses also became illusory, disappearing from the Surveillance Screen at the same time.

The next second, next to the mirrored decorations from which Franca and the others emerged, Resurrected Female Corpse with a bright face, long neck, wearing a white dress and a loose bun silently appeared.

She gripped a dagger made of ice crystals and covered in Black Flame in one Dagger, and thrust it fiercely at Anthony's back.

After passing through the Surveillance Screen, Lumian appeared in the dark, silent, and deserted shopping mall.

At this point, the escalator had stopped operating, and all the shops had closed their roller shutters.

Lumian quickly scanned the area and saw a figure in a white dress flash by in the corridor leading to the men's and women's restrooms.

The Black Mark on Lumian's right shoulder lit up, allowing him to be "Teleportation" Past.

His figure had barely emerged at the entrance of the corridor when he pulled out his phone with his left hand.

Lumian glanced quickly at the already lit phone screen and found there was no signal.

That's exactly what he wanted to confirm.

"Is this Alternate Dimension, a virtual world created by surveillance footage? It's very similar to the Mirror World, and also to the Painted World..." Lumian's thoughts raced as he stuffed his phone into the "Traveler’s Bag" instead of his pocket.

He was worried that the upcoming fight might damage his phone.

This is a huge loss for a family that is not well-off to begin with!

In Lumian's blue Eyes, the figure of the Women in the white dress had already run to the corner.

What you see is what you get. Almost simultaneously, Lumian "Flash" behind the target and thrust his Straight Sword, formed from ice crystals, Past.

The moment the ice sword touched the Women's figure, she suddenly rippled like water and vanished without a trace.

Phantom; it's just an Phantom.

Phantom created using the Mirror of the sinks outside the men's and women's restrooms!

At that moment, a blurry figure quickly emerged from the dark corner at the entrance of the Men's restroom, holding a medium-sized Mirror that reflected Lumian's Men image in a shirt and trousers.

Taking advantage of Lumian's complete focus on the Phantom, the blurry figure pressed the hand covered in "Witch" Black Flame against the mirror.

Evil Black Flame suddenly erupted from Lumian's eyes, nose, mouth, and other places, but his figure became increasingly illusory and gradually dissipated.

This is also Phantom!

In the dark corner of the bathroom entrance, behind the blurry figure, Lumian's body was outlined, his Eyes were Iron-Black, his right fist was clenched and bulged with muscle, and he suddenly slammed it into the junction of the enemy's neck and back.

"Harvest" plus "Full-Force Strike"!

You can create Phantom using Mirror, and so can I!

Bang!

The punch shattered the blurry figure into pieces, scattering them in all directions like glass shards.

Immediately afterwards, Lumian felt invisible Spider Silk Entanglement him from all directions, trying to bind his hands, feet, and torso, and attempting to interfere with his movements in various ways.

Lumian immediately snorted, and bursts of Pitch-Black Flames, imbued with madness and danger, leaped out of thin air and landed on several invisible Spider Silk.

The "Flames of Destruction," like the Flames of a true "Hunter," instantly ignited the Spider Silk, then spread rapidly, consuming all the surrounding combustibles and burning the Mysticism Pathogens permeating the air.

In the blink of an eye, Lumian was freed from the "Witch's " spider web and the influence of the hidden "Plague".

At the entrance to this passageway, a Women figure was clearly visible in the light of the Burning spiderwebs.

She wore a white dress, her hair loosely tied in a bun, her face was radiant, her ears were delicate, and her neck was long; she was the Resurrection female corpse.

Surveillance Room.

As Franca's attack failed, both Jenna and Anthony skillfully changed their positions.

The latter used this to evade the assassination attempt by the Resurrected Female Corpse with her ice crystal Dagger.

However, this also resulted in the three of them being gathered in a small area within the not-so-large Surveillance Room.

The Resurrected Female Corpse then turned her gaze to the two Security Guard who were sitting motionless in their seats.

One of the Security Guard immediately broke free of his Statues- like posture and stood up abruptly.

The next second, his body seemed to be filled with a large amount of gas, rapidly expanding into a sphere.

During this process, the Gray-White Depths of his Eyes were tinged with a yellowish-green light.

Boom!

The Security Guard exploded like a balloon stretched to its limit; his flesh and internal organs were torn to shreds, and, accompanied by yellowish-green pus, swept through every corner of the Surveillance Room in Storm Impact, covering Franca, Jenna, and the others.

Virus bomb? Franca's pupils dilated suddenly.

The Resurrected Female Corpse was also within the blast radius of the Corpse explosion, but she was prepared and took a step back, hiding inside the mirrored ornament.
