Flesh and blood oozing Yellow-Green Pus, accompanied by a sudden explosion, rained down on everyone in the Surveillance Room.

Franca didn't have time to use the "Ice Talisman" or grab Jenna and the others to hide them in the Vanity Mirror in her hand. She could only face the not-so-powerful explosion and the obviously dangerous flesh and slime.

Click, click, click.

Under such circumstances, the three of them had no choice but to activate the "Mirror Substitute" on their own initiative. They were first shattered by the Impact of the wind and waves, and then stained with sticky flesh and blood and still wriggling Yellow-Green Pus.

Ludwig, who also had a "Mirror Substitute" made by each of the three "Witch," did not use it himself. Instead, he crouched down, hugged his body tightly, and minimized his "surface area exposed to bullets."

During this process, he opened his mouth.

His mouth stretched unrestrained, all the way to the back of his head, with his upper lip pressing his eyes, nose, and forehead directly against the ceiling, while his lower lip almost touched his chest.

With a series of crackling sounds, the yellow-green flesh and blood mixed with the explosive shockwave rushed into Ludwig's enormous mouth, heading straight for his Stomach.

Unfortunately, Ludwig, who was enjoying the buffet, only lasted for two seconds before being passively triggered by the "Mirror Substitute," which shattered into pieces.

His unusually terrifying giant mouth seems to have only an appearance, lacking sufficient strength, and is only at the level of Sequence 7.

The shockwave from the explosion subsided in an instant, and the figures of Franca, Jenna, and the others were once again outlined in the Surveillance Room, which was stained with Viscous Flesh and Yellow-Green Pus.

As "Witch of Pain," Franca and Jenna instinctively believed that the place was teeming with a dangerous disease that was rapidly infecting them.

Without hesitation, Franca raised her right hand, revealing the "Ice Talisman" tightly clenched in her palm.

This crystalline Charm has been remade by Lumian and can now be used four times for "Mirror Traversal".

Upon seeing Franca display the "Ice Talisman," Jenna and Anthony immediately moved closer to her, grabbing her arms and sleeves. Ludwig hesitated for a moment, but ultimately sided with the wicked "Witch."

The next second, the four figures blurred and entered the Vanity Mirror that Franca was holding in her other hand.

Without lingering, Franca led her companion into another area of Surveillance Room, inside a mirrored metal decoration.

Snap!

The Vanity Mirror, unattended, fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, causing the Mirror-Behind Region to disintegrate.

These fragments need to wait varying amounts of time to become Mirror again in the Mysticism sense. Without considering other factors, the larger the fragment, the better the mirror effect, and the shorter the time it takes for the Mirror-Behind Region to re-emerge. Conversely, the smaller the fragment, the more time it takes, and if it becomes too small, there is even a risk that it will not be able to become Mirror in the Mysticism sense again.

After moving inside the mirrored decoration, Franca, while on guard against a sudden attack from the Resurrected Female Corpse, said rapidly, "' The Witch of Despair ' doesn't have the ability to leave people half-dead and turn them into Plague Bomb..."

"Could that be the ' Witch of Unaging '?"

"It's also possible that they received help from the ' Society of the End of All Things ' or possess similar items," Jenna suggested, based on her own feelings.

"The Mushu Hospital isn't just about the ' Mother Tree of Desire '?" Franca suddenly had an inspiration. "The hospital as a whole should simultaneously possess the healing abilities Pathway to the ' Great Mother,' the influence of the ' Mother Tree of Desire ' on the mind, desire, Corpse, and hospital ghost stories, as well as the control over diseases and Pathogens through the Pathway Pathway the ' That One of the Society of the End of All Things ' or the ' Witch '!"

Franca spoke without any embellishment while observing the situation in the Surveillance Room, and attempted to use the "Ice Talisman's " ability to transmit information through mirrors to send simple intelligence to a Mirror on Lumian's body.

As long as Lumian hasn't left the Huafeng District where he is currently located, he will definitely receive it!

Jenna became wary of the spiderweb-like, illusory Tunnel, while Anthony cautiously remarked, "That Resurrection female corpse was almost unaffected by the ' Intimidation,' making her seem more like a dead person than a living one to me."

Franca's mind raced, and two guesses instantly formed:

"Is she an awakened Living Corpse, and are her followers, the ' Mother Tree of Desire,' hiding nearby?"

"Or, didn't we previously speculate that she might have a companion, possibly ' Loki '? Is it possible that she is actually a Marionette, and the ' Marionettist ' who controls her is hiding somewhere nearby?"

Franca had fought against "Loki" and had also been in contact with Intis's Eighth Bureau agents, so she was no stranger to the style of the "Marionettist".

"However, according to the information provided by the Major Arcana, even a normal ' Marionettist ' can only manipulate Marionette a distance of a little over a hundred meters. And now, their level has been suppressed to Sequence 7. I think their maximum distance from the Marionette is no more than forty meters. We checked the surrounding situation before we came to the Surveillance Room, and there was no one there..." Jenna raised her objection.

She suddenly stopped speaking.

It's not that there's no one there, actually there are two!

Franca and Anthony also realized the problem and turned their attention to the Surveillance Screen.

There were indeed people within fifty meters, including those two Security Guard!

One of the Security Guard was turned into Plague Bomb, disintegrating into flesh and blood that spread disease, but another Security Guard sat in his seat, his Eyes Depths Gray-White, staring motionlessly at the big screen!

Franca and Anthony's gazes fell on the Security Guard.

As if sensing something, the Security Guard suddenly turned around.

His clothes were tattered, his body was pockmarked, and different areas of his face were missing skin, had abrasions, or were torn open, festering and oozing pus.

This is a "side effect" of being directly hit by another Security Guard's explosion.

The Security Guard face was half-obscured and almost unrecognizable, smirked in the flickering light of the Surveillance Screen, revealing an exaggerated, terrifying, and sinister smile.

As his smile blossomed, his body rapidly inflated, transforming him into a human-shaped balloon, just like his colleagues.

Bang!

The balloon burst, and countless Viscous Flesh, and Yellow-Green Pus splattered onto the metal ornaments where Franca and the others were hiding, covering them in a mess and making it impossible for Franca and Anthony to see the outside world.

"Let's move to a different location." Franca, seizing the remaining effect of "Mirror Traversal," turned to Jenna and Ludwig and said.

The area within Mingyue Square as captured by surveillance footage.

Lumian bent over, drew the "Sword of Courage," and sprinted from outside the men's and women's restrooms toward the Resurrected Female Corpse at the entrance of the corridor.

Behind him, in the mirror between the two Washroom, the figure of Women in a white dress with her hair loosely tied up suddenly appeared.

This is a projection created by the "Witch of Despair" using Mirror!

Although it only possesses a fraction of the original body's power, it is still capable of assassination; it intends to deliver a fatal blow to Lumian from behind!

Almost simultaneously, Daoist emerged from behind the Women's figure.

The figure had long black hair, striking features, and a cold expression; it was Lumian in Women-ization form.

The projection, achieved with "Precision," instantly transformed into a silent yet destructive Black Flame, completely enveloping the Mirror Projection of the Resurrected Female Corpse and igniting her amidst her Pain screams.

Without pausing, Lumian, wielding the "Sword of Courage," charged toward the Resurrection female corpse.

Just then, in front of the Resurrected Female Corpse, countless crystalline yet sharp Frost Spear instantly condensed, like a beautiful and clean hedgehog displaying its quills.

Such an Ice Spear Forest is not Sequence 7 "Witch" can accomplish. Only those Beyonder have reached the level of "Witch of Despair" and have further control over Frost, but are currently limited to the Sequence 7 level, can do it. It is equivalent to the "Condensed Ice Spear" in the ability to control Frost evolving into "Ice Spear Forest" at the Sequence 4 stage, but now "Ice Spear Forest" can only be performed at the Sequence 7 level.

If Lumian doesn't stop in time, he will crash into this forest of ice spears, be pierced through by them, and have multiple Blood-Colored holes punched in his body.

At this moment, Lumian's figure suddenly became blurry and Distortion, as if the image displayed using electromagnetic signals had been subjected to strong interference.

From blurry Distortion to complete disappearance in the blink of an eye, Lumian's body swiftly outlined behind the Resurrected Female Corpse.

He swung the "Sword of Courage" diagonally, aiming for his target's shoulder.

Suddenly, Crimson Flames Burning on the surface of the "Sword of Courage".

With a deafening roar, Lumian cleaved the Resurrected Female Corpse in two with a single sword strike, shattering it into fragments.

The Resurrected Female Corpse who used a substitute did not appear immediately; she seemed to have vanished into the dark, deserted Fourth Floor of the shopping mall.

Lumian showed no Change in expression and smoothly pressed the "Sword of Courage" down.

With a deafening roar, crimson Fireball shot out from the sword, indiscriminately covering the area, blasting down walls, and igniting the goods.

The Crimson Flames Hell quickly drew half a floor into the ever-increasing temperature.

Under such a wide-range, indiscriminate attack, the Resurrected Female Corpse corpse was affected and forced out of her "Invisibility" state, appearing behind and to the side of Lumian.

Surveillance Room.

The Resurrected Female Corpse who had fought with Franca and the others left the Mirror Object where she was hiding and appeared in a room stained with Viscous Flesh and Yellow-Green Pus.

Taking advantage of the fact that the area was filled with various Pathogens and Decay forces, and that Franca and the others would soon be infected and affected if they entered, she conjured a Ice Crystal Spear covered in white frost in her hand and thrust it into the Surveillance Screen, which already had many dents and was covered with flesh and pus.

The two previous "Disease Bomb" were not very powerful; they mainly spread Pathogens and Decay forces, so they failed to directly destroy the large screen that was some distance away.

Now, the Resurrected Female Corpse is going to personally destroy the Surveillance Screen, causing the corresponding Alternate Dimension to collapse, and letting the enemies fighting there and the other "self" fall into the turbulent current and be torn to pieces!
