Chapter 2751 2752, Inheriting the Underground World (2)
——???——
A spire in the desert. After Sherlock helped convey "thank you", the dry vines and flowers that were originally clinging to the tower disappeared almost instantly. There was no "intermediate state" in the whole process, as if this gesture was their remnants.
The last echo of this, if some kind of force had not maintained this "last moment", they might have returned to dust like other compatriots.
"But I failed to save Bao's world, why do they want to say thank you?" Melina thought for a moment and then asked.
She... doesn't understand? Sherlock raised his eyebrows.
Well-intentioned efforts should be thanked even if they don't bear fruit - unless good intentions end up causing bad things.
If you think about it carefully, her reaction has been unusual since they first met.
After the two exchanged names, they chatted along a certain topic very smoothly.
Sherlock himself knew too much information, and the facts that could be analyzed were obvious, so he hardly needed to take the initiative to ask. If necessary, he could even use some words to make Melina put down her guard - if at all.
But Melina's trust in him and lack of defense were a bit outrageous. She had to at least ask where this "Supreme Mage" who suddenly appeared came from, how he came there, what his purpose was, and so on.
Whether it is to blame this matter on "I know her in other forms and have a good relationship with her" or "I am amazingly charming", it seems too outrageous.
There are two credible inferences: "She is extremely powerful and does not need to care about or be wary of any visitors", or "She has no experience in communicating with others except her 'self in the mirror'".
Thinking about it carefully, when I first met "Melina the Witch" in the border area, she seemed to have a lot of knowledge but not very smart.
hiss……
"Then under what circumstances do you think they should say thank you to you?" Sherlock tried to ask.
"After I truly saved their world from destruction." Melina replied without any hesitation.
"Then why do you want to save their world?"
"Because it destroyed."
Okay, it’s back again. Obviously, for Melina, only by successfully saving the other person’s world should the other person say thank you, but the act of trying to save a destroyed world is completely unrequited— —Including this thank you
.
Upon further reflection, her behavior is imitating her "self in the mirror", and the plan of "herself in the mirror" to save the world is obviously successful, and has been successful more than once.
In other words...compared to the number of "destroyed worlds" like river sand here, the same number of "saved worlds" on the other side of the "mirror" are even more amazing.
Compared with that kind of feat, maybe the "Ministry of Magic" controlled by the "Lokis" can scratch the surface, and it took a lot of effort to save just seven worlds, but in the end, I had to let the vice-principal reveal the truth, which is completely unsatisfactory. .
In this case, there is one last question.
"You always say 'me in the mirror', where is that mirror?" Sherlock asked.
"I don't know," Melina shook her head: "When she started to unite the saved worlds and command them to take the initiative to save other worlds, I just dozed off, and then she and the mirror disappeared."
There is no doubt that Melina is the real "person in the mirror".
This kind of scene with different scenes inside and outside the mirror, excluding someone who is doing magic and magic, only the "Mirror of Erth" can be realized in his impression. He was just worried that the so-called "self in the mirror" in Melina's mouth was just When she faced the world that kept appearing but could not be saved, it was just a certain "image of wish fulfillment" projected in a mirror object with similar properties.
, in that case, the mirror image approach will certainly not be successful.
But the later situation of "the rescued civilization forming an alliance" was unimaginable to Melina, who only had those "grains of sand" - after all, how could they unite if they were not even rescued? ?That is to say, there once was a girl with a similar appearance to Melina, riding on... a bed, traveling through the universe or dimensions, actively looking for planets that were destroyed for various reasons, and through some kind of "single... Based on model
"Save them from the abyss of destruction by imitating irreproducible means, and then rush to the next planet without asking for anything in return."
In the process, the full-length mirror or other type of mirror she left in the living room, because she could not reproduce the method, caused the scene inside and outside the mirror to become increasingly different. Logically speaking, it was just a mirror. The reflection was just wrong. No matter if she took the time to look in the mirror, or corrected or sealed it after the mirror really showed some special characteristics, Melina was not born.
Chance.
But she chose to leave before these two situations occurred. Combined with the saying of "forming an alliance", she had established a self-healing mechanism for the entire universe, and did not have to rush around to save every world, so she decided to retire after her success. Go home and take a nap or head to the next place without stopping
a universe.
Just like the poem the vice-principal once read: She waved her sleeves and did not take away a single cloud.
Melina, who is the wrong mirror image, is the "cloud". She is trapped in countless "grains of sand" that destroy the world. The imitator "her in the mirror" tries to save them in various ways, but is still unable to Do it, if Sherlock is not killed by "Black Lantern Clea", that is, "Future May"
"Lina" was slashed with a knife, and it was impossible for her to turn this world into the "junction" she had seen before.
Tsk... So the "Supreme Mage" I planned to become at that time was the "Supreme Mage" that I had just said nonsense about "having the responsibility and obligation to save every world that is destroyed or about to be destroyed"?
With such a troublesome identity, no wonder "Witch Lani", who is always looking for fun and saving people, is not willing to get involved.
No, wait.
"Witch Lani" always closes her right eye, while Melina always closes her left eye. Besides being symmetrical, their appearance is more or less similar.
Although "Witch Lani" did not participate in the main plot of becoming the "Supreme Mage" at all, she gave herself a "Soul Summoning Bell" that played a huge role. At that time, Melina was preparing to light her own burning golden tree to let Xia Locke became the "Supreme Mage", but "Witch Lani" had already proposed earlier that if the position of "Supreme Mage" was given to Melina, she could lead
Leave the "junction" yourself.
Is Witch Lani the same person Melina saw through the mirror?
After leaving for a long time, she finally noticed something unusual and decided to come back to help the "mirror image" that was born because of her even though it had nothing to do with her?
No, no, wait a moment.
If the above conjecture is true, then at that time, I abandoned the "mirror image" of Melina and chose to follow the "original body"...
"Don't worry!" Sherlock stood up straight and stared at Melina seriously: "I will help you save all the worlds!!"
