Chapter 9 Getting closer (asking for double monthly tickets on the penultimate day)
Chapter 747 Approaching (asking for double monthly tickets on the penultimate day)
The moment he saw the iron-black eyes, Lumian's thoughts suddenly went blank.
When he calmed down a little, he was shocked to find that his body was walking towards the huge Iron Throne step by step, but he had no such idea.
He could feel his body trembling obviously, but he couldn't stop his legs.
His body no longer seems to belong to him, but is obeying unknown orders and accepting the command of others!
This scene, coupled with the fact that the figure on the Iron Throne looked like "Blood Emperor" Alistair Tudor, made Lumian instantly think of two past events:
One is that in the area where the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman" is located, he and "Hela" both lost consciousness due to the violent reaction of the afterimage of the "Blood Emperor", like manipulated puppets or absolute obedience to orders.
Like a soldier, he walked back to the edge of the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman";
Another thing is that deep in the underground labyrinth of Red Swan Castle, he, Albus and Eloise all lost consciousness after hearing the illusory roar of Fermunda Sauron from Trier in the Fourth Age.
Leave the core area and go to different "wax figures".
Is it a similar situation now? Is this an ability of the "Hunter" to pass through the angelic level? Lumian forced himself to calm down in order to find a way out of the current predicament.
Compared to the previous two times, at least he regained consciousness quickly now!
"Yes, why did the consciousness wake up first this time and the body is still under control?
"Is Alistair Tudor here weaker and less powerful, or is there another reason?
"Perhaps this anomaly hides a way to defeat control..."
Lumian worked hard to extend his will to his limbs, hoping that the latter would be under his control again.
This had a certain effect, and his steps towards the Iron Throne gradually became slower.
He also took the opportunity to clearly see the figure of Alistair Tudor on the Iron Throne:
This "Blood Emperor" has a hard face, with sharp lines like a knife and an axe, firm lips, a high nose, long hair shining with a faint blood, and iron-black eyes that are cold and contain the ultimate madness.
Suddenly, Lumian had the urge to surrender and give up resistance.
This impulse did not disappear in an instant, but expanded rapidly, occupying his mind.
"No, you can't resist...
"Can't resist...
"Submit, surrender will gain everything...
"If He is angry, I will be destroyed, Franka and Jenna will be destroyed too...
"Give up, give up, kneel down and ask for forgiveness, accept the order..."
Such thoughts surged out of Lumian's mind and turned into violent waves, beating his sanity, rationality and will.
He gritted his teeth, as if if he relaxed just a little bit, the final dam would break and the flood would completely submerge his will and soul.
His originally slow pace quickened again.
…………
On the deck of the "Blue Avenger".
Both the "Magician" and the "Hanged Man" are staring at the dreamy curtain in mid-air.
On the translucent curtain with starlight as the background, Lumian's figure has become blurred. The surroundings are dark and nothing can be seen.
Compared with the clarity just now, this means something abnormal has occurred.
In the eyes of the "Magician" and "The Hanged Man", Lumian's body became stiffer and stiffer, but he walked faster and faster.
They also saw that Lumian's black hair seemed to be growing longer, and becoming tinged with blood color.
"That's not right." "The Hanged Man" Alger turned his attention to Ms. "Magician" beside him.
The "Magician" nodded slightly and was about to take out a sealed object.
That can help her truly locate Lumian, allowing her to directly enter the hidden alien space.
…………
In the dark environment, Lumian walked forward with an indifferent expression.
His soul was struggling and roaring in pain:
"Can't give up...
"Can't give up...
"Once I lose my will to persevere, I will no longer be me..."
"Shit...
"Raised by sows...
"..."
Lumian tried his best, but felt more and more like he wanted to surrender.
Suddenly, the dam of his will collapsed, and abandonment and surrender completely took over his body and mind.
Lumian's thoughts went blank again.
In this state, he had no way of knowing how much time had passed until a death-like coldness and rotting pain came from his right palm.
"Death...cold...
"Rot...pain...
"pain……"
Lumian was shocked, suddenly found his thoughts, regained his will, and regained initial control over his body in an instant.
At this time, what he saw in front of him was not a nine-story staircase, nor a huge Iron Throne covered with red traces, but a mirror.
A silver full-length mirror with a classic shape and complicated patterns all around!
The full-length mirror reflected Lumian's figure.
Lumian saw his own face in the mirror filled with pain, as if he might give up at any time, and his contours were becoming harder and harder, and the bridge of his nose was gradually becoming taller and more like himself.
At the same time, his black hair grew longer inch by inch, stained with blood, and his blue eyes became colder and colder, getting closer to iron black.
"I am becoming Alistair Tudor..."
Lumian suddenly came to such a realization.
He didn't care to think about other things, and while his body could still obey the command to a certain extent, he immediately threw himself to the side, trying to get out of the reflection range of the silver full-length mirror.
With one leap and one roll, Lumian quickly made his figure no longer visible in the silver full-length mirror.
The next second, he heard an illusory scream, a crazy scream.
His mind went blank.
When his thoughts gradually returned, he found that he was still huddled on the ground, which was the end of the roll just now.
His body did not move toward the full-length mirror on its own, it just trembled uncontrollably, and even his blood seemed to freeze.
Bang bang bang!
There seemed to be a crazy slapping sound coming from the full-length mirror, which made the mirror clang, as if it would break at any time and a monster would crawl out.
And every tap on the mirror echoed in Lumian's mind, one after another.
This caused his mind to be gripped by fear, and his thoughts almost froze.
After a while, the flapping sounds inside the mirror gradually subsided, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Lumian's body no longer trembled, and he had a certain understanding and thinking about the current situation and what he had just experienced:
“If I really walk in front of that full-length mirror and the image of me in the mirror has completed my transformation, does that mean that ‘Blood Emperor’ Alistair Tudor will be resurrected in my body?
“But as long as I’m not caught by that full-length mirror and my figure is not reflected on the mirror, the impact will be very small and I won’t lose control of my will and body...
"The key point to trigger this mutation is to enter the reflection range of that full-length mirror?
"It seems to have calmed down now..."
Lumian slowly propped up his body and carefully observed his surroundings.
He found that he was not in a deep hall at all, but in a strange space made of starlight.
The floor here is translucent, and you can see the endless darkness below. There is no dome above, and there are bright but illusory stars shining.
There are starry doors standing in the darkness on both sides, and together they form a deep and spacious corridor. At the end of the corridor is the silver full-length mirror.
At this time, Lumian had reached the depths of this corridor, only ten meters away from the full-length mirror.
"The hall, the stone chairs, the Iron Throne and the figure of the 'Blood Emperor' I just saw were all hallucinations?
"The purpose is to make me surrender?
"That's not right. After I'm caught in the mirror, I can achieve my goal by letting out the roar just now..."
As his thoughts flashed, Lumian had a guess:
Perhaps, the hallucination just now, the Iron Throne, the figure of Tudor, and the broken stone chair I just saw were caused by the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" on my body and the resonance of the silver full-length mirror, which also made the brand of "Underworld Man"
Acting out of stress helped me temporarily escape from the controlled state and have the ability to escape from the reflection range of the full-length mirror...
Thinking of this, Lumian raised his right hand and looked into his palm.
The light red scar there is so vivid that it seems to have returned to the state when it first entered Lumian's body, and the pale skin around it has shown obvious signs of decay, with a yellowish liquid flowing out, and the flesh beneath the flesh.
White bones are looming.
This initially confirmed Lumian's guess.
He once again looked at the silver full-length mirror facing him.
Having dealt with the "man in the mirror" many times, he frowned slightly:
"The 'Blood Emperor' wants to use that mirror and his remaining breath to resurrect in my body?
"There must be something hidden in that mirror...
"The resurrection arrangement of the 'Blood Emperor' actually relied on the mirror world...
"Well, this is normal. Whether it is the special mirror world or the 'mirror man' from that world, they are inseparable from the 'Blood Emperor' of the Fourth Age Trier...
"I used to think that the special mirror world was a remnant of the 'War of the Four Emperors', but Moran Avni of the Tamara family said that the connection between their family and the special mirror world was during the 'War of the Four Emperors' forward……
"Fuck, that special mirror world wasn't created by the Blood Emperor, was it?
"How many problems has He left in this world?
"As expected of the 'Blood Emperor' who is famous for his madness...
"However, the special mirror world obviously cannot avoid the 'original witch'...
"Could it be that the Witch Sect secretly seduced the Tamara family and wanted to use a special mirror world to quietly influence the 'Blood Emperor'?
"As a result, this was taken advantage of by the 'Blood Emperor'?
"The Fourth Age Trier is really full of mysteries..."
Lumian thought about it and suddenly understood why Thermipolos had stopped him from exploring the "Blue Avenger".
If you want to explore this place, you must either have the residual aura of the "Underworld Man" who sealed the "Blood Emperor", or you must have the corresponding items or characters to resist that kind of shock or conquest, otherwise you will become Alistair Tudor's puppet as soon as you enter. , let Him resurrect in the body.
For Thermipolos, this is definitely not a good thing.
Lumian's eyes moved and he focused on the Starry Doors.
Does that represent a different treasure?
