After a period of waiting, Anthony Reed took the wilting brown and yellow giant dog back to the quarry cavity with the fixed entrance to the Mirror World.
He said to Lumian:
"The 'art of making animals' can be lifted."
Looking at the giant dog that no longer looked ferocious, Lumian smiled and recited the lifting spell in Hermes:
"monk!"
This ritual dog skin was made by himself. The opening spell was the same as that of the parish priest Guillaume Benet, but the dispelling spell was changed.
Lumian originally wanted to use the name of one of his two idols, Gehrman Sparrow, to lift the spell, but considering that the other person was Mr. Fool's salvation angel, he read his name in Hermes and said
It might have some strange effects and feel blasphemous, so I gave up this option.
And because the first ritual skin he made was a dog skin, he got inspiration from "The Monk Chasing the Dog" and used the word "monk" to make the lifting spell.
The dark light lit up, and Moran Avni appeared in a slightly embarrassed state.
He subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped the coagulated blood, tears, saliva and snot from his face.
Lumian did not go directly to the topic. He planned to start with less important questions to enhance his "credibility" and maximize the effect of hypnosis.
He said half mockingly, half sighing:
"I don't understand why you 'people in the mirror' hate yourselves in the real world so much."
Moran Avni sneered:
"If you stay in a cold, dark, closed mirror all the time, you will also hate living in the sun, enjoying food and alcohol, and enjoying yourself in leisure and joy."
"But you are not born naturally, but from accidents." Jenna almost said that you are monsters living in a special mirror world.
Moran Avni said with a "haha" smile:
"What does this have to do with our jealousy and hatred?
"The accident was not caused by us. Since we were born and have been continuing the race, we have the right to pursue a better life."
Franka and Jenna were unable to refute these words for a moment.
"We have this right," Lumian said as a friend, "but it cannot be based on the murder and harm of the original owner. Why don't you cooperate with some formal organizations, such as the Church of the Fool? You started from the Fourth Age
After Trier escapes, he can completely stay away from this city and this country and start a new life somewhere else."
Moran Avni sneered:
"Do you think we can trust and work with these organizations under the sun?"
"Aren't you also cooperating with the 'School of Truth'?" Lumian exposed Moran Avni's lies.
Moran Avni was silent for a few seconds and said:
"We have our own mission, and we want to bring the truth back to this world."
"Reality?" Lumian deliberately provoked, "How can there be reality in the mirror? You 'people in the mirror' are only close to reality, and you will turn back into mirror fragments after you die."
After the provocation, Lumian's eyes were dyed silver-black to observe the fate of Moran Avni and prevent him from making answers that would put his life in danger.
After a simple observation and confirming that his problem would not bring too much risk, Lumian terminated the "Eye of Disaster" in order to save spiritual energy.
Moran Avni showed a meaningful smile:
"No, in a sense, what is in the mirror is real.
"When we complete our mission, we will completely return to reality!"
"Why do you say that?" Franca was curious about where Moran Avni's confidence came from.
Moran Avni's eyes swept over the two witches. He was in the "Sage Time" and chuckled:
"Even I can't understand the most fundamental reason. I can only tell you that it has something to do with the 'Chaos Witch' we believe in deep in the mirror world. She is the real 'Original Witch'!
"Also, I can give you an example:
"After becoming a 'witch' and being exposed to 'mirror magic', every witch's truest self is in the mirror."
Seeing that Franka and Janna both showed disbelief, Moran Avni, who had a strong desire to talk, smiled and asked the question:
"Do you know what Sequence 3 of the 'Witch' pathway is called?"
"I don't know." Franka and Jenna shook their heads at the same time.
Moran Avni nodded gently and said:
"It's called the 'Eternal Witch'. She stays young forever and is good at resurrection and rebirth.
"Why are they so difficult to kill and can be resurrected and reborn? That's because what is killed is only their appearance. The real them are always in the mirror, imprisoned and sealed in the mirror by themselves!
"If the false ones die, they will soon be resurrected by relying on the projection of their true selves in the mirror!
"You said, how could the true self that was imprisoned, sealed, and used as a source of resurrection by false people not hate the falseness in reality, how could it not want to escape from the mirror and get back what it should have?"
Hearing this, Franka suddenly remembered the scene when she first entered the special mirror world:
At that time, she met the original owner of her body, the man she was before taking the "Witch" potion, a man with thick brown eyebrows and short flaxen hair. His face was covered in blood, and his eyes were full of malice and hatred.
Could it be that after taking the "witch" potion and becoming a woman, her original male self did not disappear, but was banished into the mirror and could not come out again? Franka was shocked and confused.
Jenna also remembered some past events:
In the process of becoming a "witch", she also saw another version of herself in the hallucination, a vicious, mirror-like version of herself. At that time, both parties fell into the black flames. She tried her best to crawl out and returned to the black flames.
On the surface of the ice above the flames, she completed her promotion, and the vicious one was dragged into the "abyss" where the bottom could not be seen by the python-like black shadow.
Does that symbolize the fragmentation of the self?
Is there really a part of "me" that is suffering in the mirror now?
Lumian saw that the two fellow witches were in a state of confusion and confusion, so he smiled and said to Moran Avni:
"It's not necessarily about imprisoning oneself. It may also be that in the process of becoming a 'witch', one has established a deep connection with oneself in the mirror, so one can use them to master 'mirror magic', and to a certain extent, one can also use
This resurrection.”
"The reason why the self in the mirror is bloody, vicious, hateful, and ferocious is because they are like this to begin with, and they are jealous of their real selves, just like you 'people in the mirror' who come from a special world."
When the truth cannot be figured out for the time being, Lumian tends not to dwell on himself and tries to shift the blame to others.
Moreover, as the "man in the mirror", Moran Avni naturally has a tendency to take a stand, and the words coming out of his mouth must be accepted with care and often analyzed from another angle.
After listening to Lumian's words, Franka and Jenna's expressions softened, and Moran Avni said sarcastically:
"Self-deception cannot conceal the true existence."
Seeing that the preliminary preparations were almost complete, Lumian decided to get the topic on track now.
Originally, their purpose was related to the "Man in the Mirror", but now, Lumian believes that the affairs of the "School of Truth" are more important and urgent, and they need to be asked first.
His eyes turned silver-black again, looking at Moran Avni and saying:
"Have you signed a contract with the 'supervisor' of the 'School of Truth'?"
"Of course we have signed it, otherwise how can we cooperate? We all attach great importance to contracts." Moran Avni replied quite proudly.
Lumian laughed:
"He didn't secretly change the terms the moment you signed the contract, right?"
"No, I pay great attention to this issue. As you know, I am a 'judge' in the mystical sense." Moran Avni said very confidently.
Lumian asked further:
"Then have you seen the 'supervisor'?"
Moran Avni shook his head:
"He signed the contract first and then it was delivered by his staff. We have never actually met."
"What has that 'supervisor' been doing lately?" Lumian cautiously advanced the question.
Moran Avni laughed:
"I am just one link in his huge black box and a huge black network. I help complete some things through transactions. I don't know what those things specifically point to and the purpose behind them.
"Well, he once said that he would use people like me to weave an invisible, huge vortex into which he could put his strongest needs and get results.
"A few days ago, he accidentally mentioned that the vortex was about to take shape."
The vortex is about to take shape... Lumian continued to watch the changes in the fate of Moran Avni, and asked thoughtfully:
"How do you and the 'supervisor' usually contact each other?
"Are there any special, backup methods in case of emergency?"
This is something that needs to be clarified as soon as possible - Moran Avni, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry of Intis, was suddenly attacked and mysteriously disappeared. This is a big news. The news will spread in a short time. When the time comes, then
A "supervisor" will definitely hear something and will immediately cut off the original communication channel.
…………
In the villa of Moran Aveni.
As the captain of the "Purifier" mobile team directly under the Diocese of Trier, Angoulême de Francois rushed to the scene immediately as he was well prepared.
After listening to the "Purifier" present and surveying the scene, Angoulême frowned:
"A member of the Aurora Society?"
Not "Hidden Blade" them?
What are they doing!
After thinking for a moment, Angoulême gave the order:
"First block the news about Moran Avni's accident, so as not to alert the people and forces lurking behind this abnormality. We may still have a chance to find clues and pursue them."
This is his experience, and it is also the process that the "purifiers" have long been accustomed to.
