Dominate the Treacherous Realm

Chapter 404

   "Shining like you. This is unreasonable. The gifter usually hides all of his identity, so you are not like the gifter."

The adjective    is not very appropriate.

   "And your past is very ordinary. Even if the church cultivates gifted people, it will not choose a man in his twenties who has no foundation."

   Huntress explained this, and then noticed that Jenkins was deliberately adjusting his sitting posture. She only thought that the other party had strange habits, and she didn't know that Jenkins was trying to avoid being recognized.

   What happened just now is easy to explain. As a strange world that is difficult to enter and exit, the mirror world is more suitable for sealing some strange things than the material world. The depths of the mirror world are sealed with terrible evil things. This is something that most gifters know. Just now, I’m afraid that some unknown evil object has temporarily manifested its own eyes deeper in the mirror world on the surface of the mirror world through the mirror-like disaster. , So it caused a heavy blow to the four at once.

"This is an extremely dangerous place. Whether it is the creatures wandering in the mirror realm or the natural disasters of the world itself, it can cause us an extinction disaster. But what is more terrifying is the material world reflected in the mirror realm, wisdom. The reflection of creatures here is what we need to be alert to most."

   The female hunter made such a summary, and then began to try to wake up the other two companions.

   Jenkins’ cat is the last one to wake up in the group. Although it looked like he was asleep in a coma, Jenkins was still worried. However, Miss Cape is very envious of Jenkins being able to have such a smart pet. According to her, it is extremely difficult to cultivate ordinary animals into extraordinary creatures. Even with the precious [Animal Spiritual Enlightenment Potion], the success rate is almost equal Go out and turn left and encounter a trick.

   All four of them are gifters from the Orthodox Church, and they even know each other, and there is no conflict of interest. After all was restored, an agreement was reached briefly, and a small group was formed during the period in the mirror world to jointly find a way out of here.

   The information about the mirror world is very scarce. This time Nolan’s great discovery can be called the greatest exploration of the mirror world in this era, so the file bag that Jenkins brought in became the key to the rescue of the four.

   But after opening it, I was disappointed. There was a wad of white paper inside the paper bag. Since Miss Bevana gave it to Jenkins directly, it is impossible to play tricks such as "No Word Book of Heaven", so there should be words on the paper.

   "The mirror world is rejecting information that is not good for you?"

   Miss Knight guessed that the time she entered here was not long after the last time she separated from Jenkins in the evergreen forest, and was sucked in in front of the sparkling water pool, which was almost as unlucky as Jenkins just now.

   "So, the mirror world already has a certain sense of self?"

   Miss Cape, who was covering her forehead, followed closely to guess that all the people present were she was not a local temporary resident, so apart from the appearance of the entrance to the mirror world, she almost didn't understand the news of the mirror world.

   But in general, the current situation is quite troublesome, because Jenkins does not carry the metal block that seals the divinity. He was just working in an antique shop just now, there is no need to put that thing on him, otherwise it would not be difficult to open the exit with one blow to the broken space with the power of the deified state.

  PS: This mirror world adventure is estimated to not last long. The significance of this interlude is just to provide Jenkins with some off-court clues and introduce an extremely important new character by the way.

Chapter 951 Chapter 934 Mirror Monster

   "If the world itself is conscious, it would be terrible."

   The female hunter sighed, and then was silent for a while with everyone, holding the teacup and looking out the window, the world outside the window was shrouded in the oppressive fog.

  The way the four can think of is to go to the Martel Racecourse outside the city to find an exit. There is the seat of the circus, and the fixed entrance to the mirror world in the material world is there. Since the mirror world is a reflection of the material world, maybe there is a corresponding exit in the mirror world.

   But the horror is not that simple, otherwise the Orthodox Church in Nolan City would have sent a large force into the mirror world to explore. Now since there is no other way, I can only go there to try my luck, after all, waiting blindly is not the way.

   There is a concept of time in the mirror world. When the shop on the side of the road is restocked, the sun has already set from the east, and the two moons are hanging on the horizon.

   The street lights of Nolan City, the mirror world at night, of course will not light up, and the streets covered by dense fog appear darker and lonely. The four of them stepped on the uneven surface of the stone brick pavement, feeling the biting wind while moving forward. Only the light with extraordinary power can increase their vision, but fortunately, the four of them have the corresponding means.

   "Speaking of which, what does Miss Warfield mean by the reflection of intelligent creatures in the mirror world?"

   Jenkins held his gift candle in his hand, and the unquenchable fire was quietly jumping in the heart of the candle. The fire is small, but it has the largest area of ​​fog dispelling among the lights held by a group of people.

   "The mirror world can theoretically reflect everything in the material world, but the reflection of intelligent creatures in this strange world will turn into monsters that reflect the dark side of the soul. Such monsters are rare, but they have strange abilities."

   The four people encountered the fork in front of him. Jenkins wanted to turn left, but thought that everything was the opposite here, so he immediately reminded his companions to turn right.

  Apart from him, none of the women here have been to the Martell Racecourse, so Jenkins did the leading job.

   "Have you encountered that kind of monster?"

   Jenkins asked curiously.

"I encountered one yesterday evening. Unlike the reflection of dead objects in the mirror world and the material world, the appearance of living objects in this world is intermittent and discontinuous. This is a law we have temporarily explored, but in fact no one I know what the rules are here."

  Ms. Knight answered while holding the badge in her hand and shining behind her. The sun **** she believed in had a priesthood related to [Light], so simple ritual treatment could make the holy emblem shine. It's just that the light is very weak, far inferior to the methods of the companions.

   Because of the decisive battle in the Evergreen Forest, Miss Knight also learned of Jenkins's son. At present, the Church of the Sage has signed agreements with other churches, and this matter cannot be spread. But as long as Jenkins is here, even if he can't find a way out, the Church of the Sage will never let a holy son disappear so easily.

   The four have four different beliefs, and even only the church where Jenkins belongs belongs to the local church. The relationship between the pagans is actually very delicate, whether it is between the believers of righteous gods and false gods, or between the believers of righteous gods and righteous gods, there is actually a deep gap between them.

   But this is not the era when "the heretics must die", and the major churches at least maintain superficial peace.

   "Those human reflections are terrible and...disgusting. Their power is directly provided by the mirror world, and how much power they can show depends directly on how twisted the heart and soul of the body of the material world are."

   The female hunter continued to explain that she did not show the temperament of a black market mercenary at all. If it were not possible to identify the identity directly through aura, Jenkins would definitely not associate her with the huntress.

   "The monster last night almost killed us, but the intelligence of that kind of thing is obviously not enough. Just flee directly after encountering it. It is stupid to fight head-on."

Among the three women, Miss Sigrid Capet from [Church of Everything and Nature] is the most beautiful young girl; Miss Celt Knight from [Church of the Sun and Justice] is a bit inferior, her age and Miss Capet is similar, but her facial features are tougher. Jenkins thinks this may be related to knight training. The oldest female hunter, Warfel, is an ordinary-looking woman, but it is likely that she is the most powerful of the three. .

   "The monsters you encountered, will there be any signs when they appear?"

   Jenkins asked while looking at the depths of the mist.

  The fog around    became thicker as the night fell, and the light range in the hands of the four people was repeatedly compressed. The two-story stone buildings on both sides of the stone brick road, which is enough for three carriages to pass side by side, are typical urban two-story stone buildings, but they are staggered because of their different roofs and buildings.

  If the weather is better, this kind of road is the busiest street in Nolan, but at the moment it is like the gloomy path leading to the witch's house in a horror story.

   "A mirror appeared in the air, and then the monster shattered the mirror to appear. The whole process took about ten seconds, enough for us to escape."

   Miss Knight said that she was the latest of the three women to enter here, while the Huntress entered the earliest. She has been in the mirror world for 9 days.

   "I mean, will they be active when they attack... forget it."

   The intensity of the candle's flame dispelled the dense fog in front of him, revealing the weird shadow behind the dense fog. Due to obstructed vision, the four of them could only see the huge head that resembled a male Fan./.yan organ turning in the fog, and there were four slender tentacles waving at the foot.

   "Guess, is his psychological dark side inferior to himself too fine?"

   The huntress asked casually, neither the unmarried girls had a conversation with Jenkins.

   It is impossible to turn around and leave at such a distance, unless someone is willing to take the initiative to break. Due to the image of the monster, the women subconsciously took a step back and let Jenkins step forward.

   He is still a gentleman, nodding his head and letting his cat fall off his shoulder, feeling that if he rushes closer, he will be disgusting and unable to fight just by seeing the image.

   Eyes rolled his teammates around him, and with a wave of his right hand, a bright flame sprayed out from his cuff.

This technique is a bit like a circus magician, but at least the light of the gift flame really dispelled the thick fog between the four people and the monster. Jenkins clearly heard the three women behind him sigh disgustingly at the same time. word.

Chapter 952 Chapter 935 The Obstructed Way Forward

   On the streets shrouded in dense fog at night, the huge monster also found four people because of Jenkins's fire. But it moved very slowly, and it was sprayed directly by the flames of Jenkins.

   "Ahem~"

   The burnt smell immediately hit his face, and it choked Jenkins almost to back off. But the flame was effective. The monster screamed and wanted to attack Jenkins, but he had to slap the fire on his body first.

   The smell also affected the others, Miss Knight stood up while holding her nose to endure the nausea. She couldn't wait for the flame to burn the monster to death. She drew a strange symbol in the air with her right hand. The streamer formed a rune in the fog, and the rune vibrated the space. Then a knight's great sword flew out and burned directly. The moving monster split in half.

   This method is very similar to Pompeii's method of summoning a skeleton sword.

   The moment the monster died, the sound of the shattering mirror appeared in his ears again, and the monster's body slowly melted in the middle of the street, and finally only a pile of mirror fragments remained in place.

   In addition, there was a very subtle whisper. This whisper was a man's voice, and it appeared directly in the ear without a source. It was probably a paragraph complaining about his physical defects and complaining about his wife, secretary and irregular business people. It was the first time Jenkins heard many words.

   But he understands why women know that this monster is a reflection of the dark side of mankind. The whisper of the monster after death is enough to prove this point, it should be a psychological monologue.

   "It seems that we are lucky. The monster's strength this time is very low. Probably its corresponding human being in the material world, the mind is not very distorted."

  Miss Cape's voice is dull, like her nose is airtight. She has not recovered from the stench, just like a cat hiding in the fog.

   This kind of monster has not been recorded, so it cannot be named, but the mirror fragments that it drops after death are very valuable. Although their original owners are disgusting, this does not affect the distribution of the loot among the four. According to the huntress, this seems to be a versatile metal product that can be used in many rituals.

   The night in the mirror world was unusually deep and silent. After eliminating the monster just now, a group of four people continued to march towards the horse farm in the suburbs.

   The women who arrived in this world earlier than Jenkins have never explored such a long distance. According to them, even if a group of people is only active during the day and rests at midnight when the line of sight is not good, they often encounter terrible monsters and enemies when they go out to explore.

   But the long-distance raid tonight seemed extremely safe. After setting off for so long, apart from encountering the low-powered mirror monster, the group had not encountered any danger.

   "Since the mirror world and the material world are opposite, then the material world is safer during the day, and the mirror world may be safer at night."

   Jenkins guessed.

   His point of view has been recognized by his colleagues, but if it is true, it means that the "relativity" of the mirror world is not only the relative of the mirror, but also certain "concepts" that are relative to the real world.

   After passing the corner of this street, he was about to enter the outskirts of the city. The group of people stopped. It was not that the monster appeared again, but was frightened by the dense foggy world in front of him.

  Except for Miss Cape, everyone else has lived in Nolan for a long time. They have also seen the worst air quality in the city during the first period of winter heating.

   But the dense fog in front of me can no longer be described as pollution. This is simply a disaster. Reaching out five fingers is the best description here, even the lamps in the hands of the four cannot disperse the fog.

   After walking in, he will definitely be completely lost. Jenkins wearing a monocle is better, but if he fights, his weak vision will become a fatal threat.

   "Can you go around?"

   Miss Capet asked, and the other three immediately shook their heads. The dense fog here obviously corresponds to the fog circle outside Nolan, the material world, and that layer of fog completely envelops Nolan City.

   Unless you move from under the soil or in the sky, there is no road that can avoid such dense fog. Miss Capet is an outsider who doesn't understand this, the other three understand it very well.

   The fact that it is safer at night than during the day was temporarily recognized before new evidence appeared. The four people briefly discussed and decided to venture into the dense fog outside the city.

   But the situation is more serious than they thought. Even if it is walking next to the roadside house to determine the direction, this layer of fog seems to make people forget the direction unknowingly.

   This is a terrible thing. Losing your way in such a place is not only the possibility of losing your partner, but being trapped in it is the most dangerous thing.

   In the end, they retreated from the fog, planning to wait for the sun to appear during the day, hoping that the fog and the ability to make people lost could temporarily disappear.

   While discussing, a bell rang in the distance, this is the city's bell tower. The end of Monday and the beginning of Tuesday, the time in the mirror world is consistent with the actual time.

  Because he had seen scenes similar to the present in a place called "Silent Hill", after the bell rang, Jenkins was very worried that the world around him would be wrapped in blood-red rotten substances.

   But everything is normal. The sound of the bell only means the change of time, not a signal of the change of the world.

   "...This is troublesome. If this layer of fog still doesn't clear up during the day, then our plan to go to the outskirts horse farm may really not work."

   The female hunter is still talking, she is the highest and oldest among the people present, and her current actions are temporarily under her command.

   "But I also heard some news. When the Church of Orthodox God discovered the entrance to the Mirror Realm, its original owners were forced to flee here, and they have been missing..."

   Secretly looked at Jenkins while talking. The only four people present were he was from the local church. The situation should be more detailed.

"Yes, except for a young magician, those people are all seven-level gifters. The church does not know where they are in the Mirror Realm now, and even if we find them, we can learn about leaving from that group of people. The possibility of the method is also very low."

   Jenkins doesn't want to pour cold water, but that's the truth.

   The women sighed, and a group of four stood on the edge of the thick fog without speaking. Miss Capet slowly reached out her hand and fumbled in her pocket, and then she found out a silver coin (not pure silver) with a market value of 1 shilling.

Chapter 953 Chapter 936 The Mirror World

   "Do you know how to divination?"

   Seeing that Miss Capet took out the coin, Miss Knight asked hopefully.

"Sorry, I won't... But since there is no other way, why not toss a coin to decide the next move. We are here to wait for dawn to explore the fog with the positive side of the number, and leave here without the negative side of the number. The mirror world searched for other clues, stood up and continued to go deep into the fog to find a way."

   This is obviously a ridiculous decision, but there is no better way to think about it. But before Miss Capet threw the coin, Jenkins stretched out his hand:

   "Let me throw it, although I haven't learned divination..."

   is actually learned, but nothing.

   "But my luck is usually amazing. When it comes to key issues, I can always get in touch with the hermit's boots."

   "Contact with the hermit's boots" is a commonly used metaphor to symbolize good luck.

   The coin was thrown out and then dropped straight. It should have swayed a few times on the ground, making a crisp sound in the silent night, and then showing the front or back. But all four of them ignored the uneven road here, which was a slope, so it bounced twice after landing and rolled across the street.

   Jenkins pressed the dishonest cat on his shoulder and immediately followed, followed by the women. Under the gaze of four people and one cat, it happened to roll in along the crack of the shop across the street. This probability is probably only a little lower than the probability that its friend is actually an indescribable god.

   "Swear to the sage, I did nothing!"

   Jenkins immediately raised his hand and said, very worried about being misunderstood. This is because he is manipulating it. In fact, he understands that [The Stage of Destiny] is working, otherwise it cannot be explained at all.

   "Go in and have a look."

   The female hunter suggested, but did not directly say to believe in Jenkins.

   "Coincidentally, Mr. Williams probably has the passive ability of fate."

  Miss Knight trusts Jenkins very much. The Son of the Church of the Sage will never have a problem. The reason she casually stated was indeed close to the truth, and Jenkins nodded immediately.

   "I have encountered something similar, probably the hermit is really smiling at us heretics."

   Although the words are very cryptic, the Miss Capet who just met also showed trust in Jenkins. Her attitude is very puzzling. After all, the attitudes of the Huntress and Miss Knight are the same as their positions and cognitions, but it stands to reason that this girl who has just arrived in this city shouldn’t be like this to the stranger Jenkins. Trust.

   But no matter what, the key now is to find the coin. Jenkins' eyes scanned the inside of the flower shop and found no abnormalities. Then he opened the door and walked in first.

   Although the interior of the building is equally dark, there is no fog inside, and the use of lighting equipment will not be hindered. The trajectory of the coin's rolling is easy to judge, so a group of people found it behind the counter of the store without much effort. It leaned on the back of a rotting clown corpse, emitting the light of the lamps in the hands of the four.
