255: Chapter 22: In the Mirror of Deep Love (3)_2 255: Chapter 22: In the Mirror of Deep Love (3)_2 “Silence Symbols or just silence itself, I haven’t seen any connection with those strange Silent Phase Skills,” Shiyu Ling waved her hand dismissively, “If you want to learn Impermanence Skill, don’t get hung up on the details—if it works, it works.

Delve into its principles and you’ll be ready to join the harmonious and friendly Dragon Madmen Corps.”

During the conversation, Linai had finished setting up a simple altar.

She spread out a sheet of white paper on the stone steps and placed the mirror on it, then she arranged the cosmetics and comb bought earlier in front of the mirror.

Lastly, she produced another sheet of paper.

The little witch waved her hand and the white paper automatically rolled into a rope-like shape, from which several rhomboid paper streamers dangled.

“I’m a Void Phase Mage.

Without an official Shimenawa, I’ll just make do with the Impermanence Skill for now.”

Linai tied up the paper Shimenawa at the entrance of the alley, explaining it was a ritual to establish boundaries.

After all this, she pointed to the mirror, “Please go ahead, Mr.

Gongsun.

Look into the mirror and say ‘I’ve found what you’re looking for,’ and the lady of the Magic Mirror will respond soon.”

This felt like a weird ritual popular among junior and senior high school students.

Gongsun Ce muttered to himself as he squatted in front of the mirror, clasping his hands together, “Domo, miss of unknown name.

I’m the one you met in the bathroom, I’ve found what you’re looking for.”

He quietly awaited a response.

In the blink of an eye, the disheveled woman reappeared in the mirror, uttering “Ah, ah.” The Superpower User lifted the comb and cosmetics, “See, these are what you wanted?”

“Ah…” The Magic Mirror lady reached forward, pressing her hand against the mirror surface, and let out an indistinct sigh.

The woman in the mirror picked up the comb in the reflection, brushed her hair with the wooden comb, and once again revealed her true face.

This time the face of the Magic Mirror lady had changed.

Features began to appear on her previously flat face—first a nose, then black eyes, and even her teeth turned white.

But the more Gongsun Ce looked, the more something felt off, because those facial features seemed all too familiar.

They looked like…

his own eyes!

“—!”

Gongsun Ce’s heart sank.

His first instinct was to warn the others, but his mouth clamped shut.

“The Magic Mirror lady has left; that’s enough, right?” He spoke without control, as if someone else had taken over his body!

Unable to use his telekinesis or grey matter, he even lost control of his own body.

He got up from in front of the mirror while the Magic Mirror lady retreated to the edge of the reflective surface.

In the last instant before turning back, Gongsun Ce cast a glance at the ground in the mirror.

The sunlight spilled in the alley, casting shadows beside the figure of the Magic Mirror lady.

A tall and slender shadow, a bulky one, and another petite one…

Immediately, Gongsun Ce realized.

There were three shadows.

Two other figures were hidden behind the Magic Mirror lady!

·

“The Magic Mirror lady has left; that’s enough, right.”

The young man with grey hair held the mirror in his hand, showing it to his companions.

The ghostly woman’s face was no longer visible in the mirror.

“That was quick,” Linai murmured, “Did you scare her off?

Hey, what did the lady of the Magic Mirror take?”

“She took the comb and foundation, and hurriedly dressed up before leaving,” said the young man with a smile, “The once introverted Lord of God became even more beautiful after dressing up, truly amazing.”

“Uh…” Linai took two steps back, her expression turning to one of horror at his creepy remark.

This person was actually praising a faceless, black-toothed woman as pretty; people from big cities did indeed have peculiar tastes and hobbies.

The grey-haired youth stretched languidly.

“With the hiding of the god resolved, we still have some time before the train departs, what should we do?” He looked towards the blue-haired Huntress, who pointed outside the street and said, “How about we split up?

Linai and I can go shopping, and you, well, you can take this opportunity to go to the bookstore to find some weird books.”

“Hey!

Watch what you’re saying in front of a high school girl!” the grey-haired youth retorted immediately, as Shiyu Ling came up with a mischievous grin, “So what, you all must be thinking about such things coming to Zero Island…!”

Though it was late, Shiyu Ling quickly grabbed the gray-haired young man by the neck and slammed his teammate against the wall!

Gongsun Ce’s body made a dull thud upon impact.

Staring at the familiar face, Shiyu Ling said indifferently, “Chuyun Linai, go investigate the mirror.”

“What the…

Ah!” Linai realized something was amiss.

Gongsun Ce had no reason to call that monstrous woman beautiful, and there was an inseparable restriction between him and Alice, yet Gongsun Ce had not objected to “splitting up.” Something must have gone wrong with him!

“The Magic Mirror room has no ability to control humans.” “Then it’s…

dodge!” Linai rolled away just in time, as the spot where she had just stood was smashed into a large pit by an invisible force—Gongsun Ce’s telekinesis!

“Hee hee hee hee…” The restrained gray-haired young man suddenly let out a creepy laugh.

“How formidable, Sister Dearest.

In less than half a minute, you saw through the disguise.

I understand now, I understand.” Despite being a grown man, he spoke in a shrill voice like a little girl!

“Sister Dearest, you must be very close to this man…

Definitely, definitely, definitely, it was because of him that you left our side!”

Chills ran down Shiyu Ling’s neck.

The tone of the voice reminded her of a certain Shiyu whose mind seemed to be mistakenly wired.

“Please look at me, Sister Dearest!” The manipulated Gongsun Ce kept speaking, and without another word, Shiyu Ling drew a Demon-breaking Arrow and aimed it at the mirror on the ground.

“Stop, Hunter.” But the short arrow was snatched away by Linai.

“Look at the mirror.”

Reflected in the mirror on the ground were the faces of three people.

Gongsun Ce, who was held by the neck against the wall, the mirror witch hiding deep within an alley with her head bowed, and an unfamiliar man dressed as a worker, his hand pressed firmly against the mirror.

It was the bottomless Hostage Tactic, involving innocent civilians in the battle of the Impermanence Law Enforcer and even using them as human shields—a most despicable enemy!

But astute readers with superpowers might have already noticed that this despicable being was none other than an experimental subject from an unprincipled, unethical, and inhumane research institution.

She, who had never even received proper education, simply regarded it as a means to achieve victory that should be utilized!

“Indeed, it’s a hostage.

Be careful, little witch of the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect.

If you dare to act rashly again, this man named Zhong Tie will die in the mirror!”

This time, Gongsun Ce didn’t speak; the voice came from within the mirror.

Behind the poor controlled Zhong Tie, a fifth person emerged from the mirror.

A girl in a gothic long dress—the Impermanence Law Enforcer controlling Zhong Tie.

Shiyu Ling’s expression immediately turned sour.

“Tsk, Shiyu Shiqi…”

“Sister Dearest, you still remember Shiqi’s name!” The girl in the mirror exclaimed in delight.

“I’m so happy!

Indeed, indeed, you’ve been missing Shiqi.

Because Shiqi has always been missing you, Sister Dearest!”

It was a speech with no logic.

Not even a dialogue, but rather a one-sided monologue!

“She calls you sister?” Linai looked shocked, “Could it be that you’re also?”

“We’ll talk later, watch your back!”

The witch hurriedly turned around, and a burly man dressed as a worker tore through the Shimenawa, walking towards them like a zombie.

It was Zhong Tie, who was being controlled in the mirror.

“Die!” Zhong Tie roared as he swung his fist, which Linai countered with karate.

Meanwhile, the controlled Gongsun Ce unleashed an attack using telekinesis.

“Hunter, give me her information!” “You get out of the alley, let me handle this alone!” The two Impermanence Law Enforcers made different judgments, feeling completely out of sync.

Amidst the chaos, only the girl in the mirror kept babbling to herself.

“Praise me, Shiqi has finally, finally, achieved her own Divine Communication.

Shiqi will keep Sister Dearest close, forever and ever!”

The tone made Shiyu Ling’s skin crawl, and her next words made the Hunter break into a cold sweat.

“Feel my longing!” She pulled the pitiful mirror witch in front of the mirror and shrieked with a high, sharp laugh, “Brahma’s appearance, Divine Communication, Beloved Magic Mirror!”

Chuyun Linai looked back and forth between the two Shiyus, gasping in shock: “No way, what kind of freak?!”
