Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 581 Adventure in the Mirror World

The next day, Angel packed his luggage, took the ticket purchased under a false name, and boarded the steam train on time from the border town of Essen in Masi across the border to Backlund, the capital of the Loen Kingdom.

Since the journey lasted a day and a half, she had the luxury of buying a first-class seat on a long-distance train, which gave her a separate room, bathroom, meals in a dedicated dining car, and even room service.

"Except for the bumps, it's just like being on a luxury liner..."

Sitting on the cushioned chair, Angel felt a little emotional.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you can enjoy an extraordinary travel experience in this era. Compared with being surrounded by noise in a second-class carriage and waiting in a small seat for a short opportunity to move when the train arrives at each station, you can spend more than three It's worth twice the ticket price.

Of course, Angel, who wants to maintain his new "personality", has to pay more for the travel expenses. Otherwise, once his identity is questioned, a second-class long-distance ticket will inevitably become the most conspicuous problem.

While she was heading to Backlund, the passenger ship "Angelica Sage" was on was docking briefly at Zhongcheng Island, and then headed to Behrens in West Balam in the Southern Continent along the safe channel explored by Emperor Russell. Port, will arrive at the end of the journey almost at the same time as Angel.

Soon, the Church of Storms will learn that the "Red-Headed Girl" is being repaired in Port Damier. After a simple interrogation, the punishers will be able to learn the whereabouts of Angelica and Gehrman from the sailors, and then they will be able to find out the whereabouts of Angelica and Gehrman in Bay. The Port of Rens came up short, making everything confusing again.

"As long as some false news is spread from time to time, the military and the Church of Storms can continue to circulate in the Raging Sea. It is completely impossible to guess that Klein and I have returned to Loen and hid in Backlund, which has a population of five million... …”

This is the opposite... Angel was thinking and looking out the window. The train was passing through a humid swamp. When the environment became dark, the lights in the carriage made the glass windows reflect the light like a mirror. Things ahead.

Even if the Church of Storms could guess that the two people with the "faceless man" ability had already changed their identities, they would think that they would hide in the southern continent beyond the reach of the Orthodox Church instead of returning to the headquarters of the three major churches.

"The direction and speed of the train's departure are different... is it because the 'mirror world' is similar to the spiritual world, and the position and distance do not correspond to the real world?"

The scenery outside the window in front of Angel's eyes turned into a series of dark passages, which were intertwined and connected with each other. They were spread all over her up, down, left, and right like a spider web, and some were connected to other large or small ones very close to each other. "Mirrors", some leading to infinity, gradually disappearing in the dim background.

"Every 'door' that can be seen corresponds to a certain mirror in the real world. The length of the passage does not represent the actual distance, but it contains some special rules, and spirituality will also give certain hints... After adapting, you can Traveling between different mirrors at a speed a hundred times faster than reality, you can even observe the external environment without leaving the 'mirror world', which is equivalent to 'snooping' without exposing yourself..."

Angel let his weightless body pass through different "spider threads" along the passage, and came to a nearby mirror as wide as a double door, and carefully looked outside.

Although she already knows that the world in the mirror is not safe and even contains some dangers, as a "Despair" witch, Angel must master this ability, otherwise the effects of her various extraordinary powers enhanced by magic potions will be greatly reduced. .

With a thought in his mind, Angel pointed at the glass window with his finger. This temporary "mirror" became dark and deep in Angel's purple eyes, and there were layers of unclear color blocks and spaces inside, as if it had become a gateway to another world. Window to the world.

After hesitating for a moment, Angel reached into this mysterious space.

She realized something and was not in a hurry to return to the carriage. Instead, she explored the spider web composed of various mirrors and passages nearby, and quickly figured out the general method of movement.

There are two members of the Tarot Club, "The Hanged Man" and "The Hermit", who are still at sea, and with the connections of "Vice Admiral Iceberg" and "Queen of Mystery", it is not difficult to release some specious news.

Is this the "mirror world", the world that connects all mirrors?

Now, behind the glass window is the "mirror world".

This is a puddle somewhere that can reflect the surrounding environment... Angel reacted immediately, withdrew his gaze and looked in the direction he came from. Not surprisingly, he found that the narrow "door" was slowly leaving its original position and heading towards Move in the other direction.

She saw the steam train passing by quickly, trailing black smoke gradually away, she saw the shrubs and muddy swamps of different heights around her, and she saw the gray sky and clouds high above.

Just like "Secret Puppet Master" needs the thread of the spiritual body, "Resentful Soul" needs the spiritual world.

Whether traveling through mirrors, releasing black flames, curses, divination and counter-divination, or even using mirrors to create lifelike illusions, we all rely on the power of the "mirror world".

Suddenly, in the dense passage in front of Angel, a distinctive "mirror" appeared. Compared with other mirrors that looked gray, it was more colorful, with blocks of color like oil paintings constantly flowing inside.

While summarizing in his mind, he shuttled lightly between different passages, and always paid attention to the passage connecting from the steam train not leaving his sight. Angel quickly exhausted his curiosity and prepared to follow the original route. Road back.

In an instant, her body sitting on the armchair became illusory and lost its shape, as if attracted by some force, she got into the narrow glass window.

Floating forward, she had no time to react, so she fell headlong into this patch of color. The hazy and dark "mirror world" in front of her immediately became colorful, with large and small color patches constantly moving, and there was even a certain... Some spiritual creatures flew past quickly.

Spirit world?

Angel's heart tightened. She looked back at where she came from and found that the "door" that suddenly appeared had disappeared. Did he actually enter the spirit world alone without the help of Mr. Azik?

Compared with the "mirror world" that has no gravity and can float at will, the spiritual world has a clear "up and down" direction relationship. Angel, who cannot travel through the spiritual world, immediately felt a strong sense of weightlessness and involuntarily fell into the dark space below. The seven-color intertwined light bands are getting farther and farther.

"Oops, I have to go back to the 'Mirror World' immediately..."

Angel touched the magic mirror in his arms without hesitation, and used the same method as before to open the "mirror" that could only pass through with one hand, and his whole person became illusory again.

A moment later, Angel's figure, covered in cold sweat, appeared from his own independent room, still sitting on the chair by the window. Outside the glass window in front of him, the swamp was slowly disappearing, and the large green grassland was filled with the breath of spring under the sun. .

Only the remaining layers of color in front of him and the cold touch of the magic mirror in his arms made the experience just now seem extremely real.

"No wonder even Mr. Fool reminded that the world in the mirror is not safe... What suddenly appeared just now is the passage to the spirit world. If it is other more dangerous places, such as underground, the seabed, or even the church of the Zhengshen Church..."

Angel murmured, looking at the glass window next to him with some fear.

Of course, this trip was not completely fruitless. She had initially mastered the method of traveling through the "mirror world". At least short trips were no problem. She could even use different mirrors to spy on others and impose curses.

The most important thing is that she discovered that the "magic mirror" that uses blood to strengthen connections can open up a space that is unique to herself but can be one-way connected to the world in the mirror.

This allowed her to escape from the spirit world and return to the mirror world, and...

Placing the magic mirror on the table, Angel took out the revolver tied to his leg under his long skirt. He stroked the mirror with one hand, opening the passage to his own "mirror world", and put the revolver with the other hand. Press on the mirror.

Just like entering the mirror, the revolver quickly disappeared from the real world.

After being promoted to Sequence 4, Angel no longer has much need for this kind of weapon without extraordinary power. Carrying a pistol is purely out of habit. At this time, it is just used to test the reliability of the "mirror world", even if it is accidentally If it is lost, or cannot be retrieved from the mirror, the loss is not great.

"If it succeeds, I will have an extra 'space' of my own. I don't need to carry all the valuable things with me, and I won't have to bother Mr. Fool so often with sacrifices..."

She put away the magic mirror with anticipation and prepared to leave the room and go to the dining car to have a look.

----

After the Air Pollution Investigation Committee officially started its work and the environmental protection bills were promulgated after the great smog, Backlund's smog, which had never seen the light of day all year round, finally became a lot thinner.

Under the afternoon sunshine in the East District, Sherman, wearing a cape and meticulously combed brown hair, walked out of the two-story building, with a full stomach and a faint smile on his face. Behind him, in the second-floor window, Two girls were secretly looking at his back.

It wasn't until he returned to the apartment next door and blocked the sight behind him that Sherman sighed softly, locked the door, and the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became indifferent.

He walked faster, walked up the stairs to the second floor, returned to his bedroom, took out the revolvers, daggers and other weapons hidden on his body, maintained them a little, and then returned them to their original places one by one.

When he was concentrating on the work at hand, a half-length mirror behind him completely reflected his back. The thin figure, which seemed taller due to concentration, kept swaying in the candlelight, as if the scene in the water was disturbed by ripples.

Suddenly, the figure stopped moving and became fixed.

Next to the half-length mirror, a slim figure wearing a hood gradually took shape.

Sherman, who was sitting at the table, seemed to feel something, and the movements in his hands paused, but his spirituality told him that he was safe at the moment, so he did not react further, but stuffed the cleaned dagger into his thigh. In the scabbard, he picked up the brass bullets one by one and stuffed them into the cylinder of the revolver.

"Too much faith in spiritual intuition will lead to failure one day."

A soft female voice sounded from behind, causing Sherman to slam the magazine shut, roll away from the spot, and aim the gun in the direction of the sound.

"Miss Erin?"

In a flash of lightning, he recognized the woman behind him, and his tense limbs slowly relaxed.
