Franca followed Lumian's prompts and quickly checked the surveillance video on the fourth floor of the mall in the previous three minutes.
During this process, Jenna and Anthony hid in the area being burned by the "Flame of Destruction" to avoid the remaining occult pathogens and decaying forces.
The former also caused clumps of quiet black flames to pop up in other parts of the control room, assisting Lumian in eliminating necessary traces. The only problem was that she could only create six to seven clumps at a time.
Ludwig took advantage of the fact that he still had a "mirror double" that he had not used yet, so he took the time to eat snacks - the flesh and blood that carried the pathogens of occultism and the power of decay.
Soon, Franka called up the corresponding surveillance video.
In a scene that was supposed to be dark, quiet, and deserted, two figures fought fiercely. The red flames quickly ignited the area, causing thick smoke to billow up.
However, there seems to be some incongruity between the fighting scene and the original scene, as if it was forcibly implanted with backward special effects technology. Both Lumian and his enemy's figures are quite blurry, showing signs of interference.
"Your battle in the surveillance world has really become part of the surveillance footage, but nothing like this actually happened in the outside world. The fourth floor of the mall is intact..." Franca mapped the area on the fourth floor of the mall to where the cameras currently monitor it.
The screen was adjusted and compared.
She took a breath and said:
"This, the surveillance world is really not just a mirror world, it obviously has the characteristics of the information world..."
Lumian nodded slightly and said:
"We still have a very superficial understanding of the occult knowledge related to alien spaces and illusory worlds. The abilities, authority and knowledge in this area seem to be scattered among 'witches', 'secret peepers', 'apprentices', 'painters', etc.
Paths, of which 'apprentice' is the mainstay, I'm not sure if the 'painter' path is comparable to the 'apprentices'."
"Those who are good at summoning should also have a certain understanding of alien spaces and illusory worlds." Franka half-turned around and said, "Such surveillance video cannot allow the police and Tianzun's men to restore your image. We don't need to go out of our way to
The surveillance equipment was destroyed."
At this time, Lumian, with the help of Jenna, had erased all the traces left by himself and others in the monitoring room. Franka also began to use the black flame of the "Witch" to clean up the fingerprints she had just left on the device.
.
"Go back, you have to hurry up and channel the spirit." Lumian looked away and said.
"Yeah." Franka retracted the palm covered with black flames.
Lumian immediately led his teammates back to the rented car through the mirror world. Franka had just fastened her seat belt and was about to start the car when she suddenly shuddered.
She began to feel cold, as if all the heat in her body had been sucked out of her body. Her head also became dizzy, her vision turned black from time to time, and golden stars appeared, and she might faint at any time.
Franka understood that this was the negative effect of the "Inevitable Gun" coming into play - if one of the two effects of "Inevitable Death" and "Inevitable Hit" were triggered, the user would definitely be seriously ill. If no effective treatment is found in the future,
The victim may even die as a result, and even if found, the serious illness will continue for some time.
Similarly, every time Anthony uses the "Winter Is Coming" revolver, he must find a "pharmacist" or a "physician" to provide treatment, otherwise he will suffer from a terminal disease that mid- and low-sequence extraordinary people are helpless to deal with.
Lumian saw Franka's face turn pale in an instant and was almost transparent. He put his hand into the "traveler's bag" and took out two bottles of healing potion.
These are action resources provided by the "Tarot Club". It is said that they are items that Fool Drug Company does not sell to the outside world and has a very small production volume.
For this operation, the Major Arcana gave Lumian and others a total of twenty-five bottles of general-purpose healing potions, most of which were placed with the captain Lumian. Jenna, Franka and Anthony each carried them with them.
Two bottles, not Ludwig.
The child needs supervision, otherwise he will drink it secretly!
Franka opened the bottle cap of the healing potion with trembling hands, and Gulu drank it.
The cold liquid slid down her esophagus and entered her stomach.
Not long after, her chilly feeling quickly disappeared, and a layer of sweat formed on her body unconsciously.
"Much better..." Franka breathed out, "It's just that my head is still a little dizzy, my forehead is hot, and my body doesn't have much strength."
Anthony, who has not yet become ill, has also finished drinking the treatment potion and is fine.
"I'll drive." Lumian said.
"Can you drive?" Franka really didn't feel that her current condition was suitable for driving, but Lumian, who had never learned to drive, made her even more worried, "How about we take a taxi?"
Lumian smiled and said:
"I carefully observed you driving today, and you have mastered the basic operations, but now it is midnight and there are no cars.
"More importantly, I still have the driver's license given by Ms. Justice."
"Okay, classmate Li Ming." Franka weakly unbuckled her seat belt and pushed open the car door.
Li Ming is Lumian's pseudonym in the dream world.
As soon as Franka's feet touched the ground, her knees weakened and she almost fell. Fortunately, Lumian was already waiting outside the cab and caught her arm in time.
"Is this what it feels like to be seriously ill... This is under the premise that the negative effects are suppressed in Sequence 7..." Franka supported Lumian and slowly walked towards the co-pilot, preparing to give guidance later, while muttering.
Said sarcastically.
Lumian laughed:
"If it were in the real world, I might have to carry you now."
Franka imagined that scene and suddenly said:
"No, let's carry it!"
Lumian glanced at her and said nothing.
Jian Na, who had come out of the passenger seat, watched the two people approach each other step by step. Listening to their conversation, her eyes were a little dark and her expression was a little relieved.
After sitting down separately and closing the car door, Franka started to explain briefly:
"This is the steering wheel, which way you turn. This is the accelerator, used to control speed. This is the brake, used to stop, and can also be used to slow down in an emergency... In short, when you are not overtaking or there are no cars around,
Then change lanes, stop when the light is red, go when the light is green, turn when you have to, automatic transmission is very simple..."
Lumian stepped on the brake, put down the handbrake, and adjusted the push rod to the corresponding gear.
The gray car started to move slowly and gradually became faster.
After passing two traffic light intersections, Lumian looked very skillful.
Franka opened her mouth slightly and said weakly:
"You've learned it now?"
You don’t need me to guide you anymore?
"It's very simple." Lumian smiled and responded to her using Franka's words.
He immediately let go of one hand and pointed to his head:
"You have to trust the Hunter's spatial awareness and hand and foot coordination."
Franka suddenly felt that being the one in the team who could drive was not something to be proud of.
In this way, Lumian successfully drove the car back to the old rental community, and then under Jenna's command, it took a long time to finally park the car, which made Franka feel proud again.
——In order to save money, they rented an older model car without an auxiliary parking system.
In the rental house, Lumian led his teammates into the mirror where the resurrected female body was hidden.
Except for Lumian and Ludwig, Franka and the others did not dare to take a closer look, for fear of suffering new contamination, but even with just a glance, they all found a little bit of dark light flying out of the tattered female corpse, slowly,
Gather the eyes to the right.
"Extraordinary characteristics are released?" Jian Na blurted out.
Franka was a beat slower than her because of her weakness, and said in shock:
"Isn't this dream too real?"
Can extraordinary people also emit characteristics?
Without waiting for Lumian and others to respond, Franka suddenly thought of:
"If I acquire extraordinary properties in this dream, mix it into a potion, perform a ritual, drink it, and succeed in promotion, what changes will happen to me in the real world?"
After hearing this question, no one spoke in the area behind the mirror, and it was extremely quiet.
"I can't answer you." Lumian pondered for a few seconds and said, "Maybe you have to consult the Major Arcana cards, or take this extraordinary characteristic and exit the dream to see if it can also 'follow' reality.
.”
After arriving in this city, Lumian and others no longer need the help of Ms. Justice to exit the dream and re-enter. They can only arrive by train and can do so directly with the help of lucky gold coins.
"Frequently entering and exiting dreams seems to attract the attention of the Heavenly Lord." Anthony reminded Lumian.
Lumian said "hmm":
"It's not that there is no other way. Try not to quit. We will contact the Major Arcana cards tomorrow morning."
Although the Major Arcana cards are subject to various restrictions in the dream, and some cannot even enter here, there are still ways to penetrate the dream and contact them, and you need to go somewhere.
While several people were talking, the extraordinary characteristics of darkness gathered in the right eye of the resurrected female corpse, dyeing it black with a hint of blue light.
During this process, the three "witches" Lumian, Franka and Janna have created multiple clusters of black flames, burning the female corpse and the occult pathogens spread by their characteristics.
According to the requirements of the "Despair" potion formula, Lumian put away the black eyeball, the bile of the resurrected female corpse, and the thick long hair that was dyed gray and white but had not returned to its original appearance, and handed them to Franka.
Let her put it in the "traveler's bag".
Ludwig, who had been patient for a long time, finally found an opportunity, pointed at the female corpse and said:
"Can I have a few bites?"
He has obtained the ability of "mirror stand-in" through "deprivation". If he eats a few mouthfuls of female corpse flesh and blood, he will have the opportunity to fix this ability on himself.
Of course, due to the dream state and the fact that "deprivation" is currently only at Sequence 7 level, he cannot permanently obtain the "Mirror Stand" and can only use it for two or three weeks.
"Okay." Lumian nodded.
Ludwig ran over excitedly and got close to the female corpse's head, aiming for the delicate and small ears.
"After she died, the charm of the 'witch' concentrated on her ears, and even Ludwig was attracted?" Lumian just had this thought flash across his mind, and saw Ludwig lying down and biting it off.
That ear was chewed with a mouth full of blood.
"..." Franka and the others were silent, turned their bodies sideways, and stopped looking.
After Ludwig ate both ears of the "witch" and reluctantly returned to Jenna, Lumian began to arrange the ceremony.
Due to the lack of objects to pray to, he could only "channel" in the simplest way, and carefully guarded against strong pollution from the deity on the target.
Soon, the vague silhouette of a female corpse emerged.
Lumian asked in a low voice:
"What did you do when you woke up from the morgue of Mu Shu Hospital?"
