Chapter 3398 Divine Realm

 After listening to the parrot's story, Angel looked a little speechless.

 He originally thought that the mirror ghost who imitated Luigi had some kind of all-seeing ability, that he could read people's minds and control everything in his hands.

Unexpectedly, the mirror ghost just relied on some verbal tricks to deceive the parrot and also cheated out the contents of the contract.

 The "high-ranking" thing Angel thinks of is really just what he thinks he is.

However, the main reason for the wrong guess was that the parrot was too calm before. In addition, the parrot was able to trick Rice God and others around, which made Angel think the parrot was too smart.

 I never expected that parrots would have blind spots in their thinking when they were excited, ignoring many details and mistaking others.

Of course, this is also because the parrot and Luigi are not familiar with each other.

After the parrot finished speaking, his face was also full of embarrassment. He scratched his scalp and said with a smile: "I was too thinking about leaving at that time, and I didn't consider many things."

Angor sighed lightly and said nothing.

On the other hand, Laplace said lightly: "Incitement is actually an instinct engraved in the mirror ghost's body. They are not inferior to the Changhuo tribe in terms of verbal temptation. In fact, in a short period of incitement, they come more violently."

 In other words, the parrot was possessed at that time, perhaps not only because he was too excited, but also because the mirror ghost itself had the skill to incite.

 Under the influence of many factors, parrots will become careless and ignore many details.

After listening to Laplace's words, a trace of gratitude flashed in the parrot's eyes. Regardless of whether what Laplace said was true or not, what she said helped him out and made him not look so stupid.

However, the expression Angel looked at Laplace was quite intriguing.

Based on Angel’s understanding of Laplace, she probably wouldn’t go out of her way to help the parrot out of the siege, because in her opinion, this matter was not a big deal and did not require a siege.

 So what she said just now was not to relieve the siege, it must have other intentions.

As expected, Laplace paused and continued: "Generally speaking, the instigation of the Mirror Ghost does not last long."

“Because inciting is only their instinct, not their verbal skills like the Changhuo tribe.”

“Furthermore, incitement is only effective when the mirror ghost is awake.”

 But the vast majority of mirror ghosts have limited waking hours.

Even for the intelligent mirror ghost group, they may only be awake for a few hours a day, and their thinking is down at other times.

"But the light and shadow demon just now seems to be a little different." Laplace raised his eyes and looked at the parrot: "According to your description, he has been staring at you for a long time. In other words, he has been awake and has not been awake since. Constantly plotting against you, inciting you, and using little tricks to deceive you..."

“If it was a normal mirror ghost, he would have recovered his chaotic thoughts long ago, but he still maintains his complete self.”

 “This is incredible.”

 There was a flash of interest in Laplace's eyes. It was not like she had never seen a mirror ghost before, but it was rare for a mirror ghost to remain rational for such a long time.

The previous one is similar to the Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen from Resentful Girl Town.

The Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen is a special talent that can be born among millions of Scarlet Lantern Banshees.

 Could this light and shadow demon be the same as the Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen, a special talent that was born by chance?

Angor also understood at this time that Laplace's so-called rescue was actually just because he discovered the special features of the light and shadow demon and became interested in it.

Thinking of this, Angel said: "Indeed, according to my understanding of the mirror ghost, the light and shadow demon is incredible. It seems to be in a rational state all the time."

Angor looked at the parrot: "You just said that you and the light and shadow demon are enemies. I guess you are familiar with it, right?"

The parrot was not stupid, and immediately understood what Angel meant, and quickly explained: "The light and shadow demon was originally just an ordinary mirror ghost. It even had no self-awareness at the beginning. It was similar to the undead in the outside world. It was in a state of confusion all day long. state."

"But later, due to some changes, it became a **** of some kind of disaster creature."

“With the help of the disaster creatures, he slowly began to gain self-awareness.”

“Now, it seems that the original consciousness has awakened.”

When Parrot said this, he recalled what the Mirror Ghost said before when he was in front of him: "In his own words, it is... under the gift of the great disaster life, his original consciousness has been completely transformed."

"I don't know what this means specifically, but if you interpret it according to his words, it may mean that he has been able to stay awake for a long time."

Angor probably understood. What the parrot said could be summed up in one sentence: The originally ignorant light and shadow demon gained independent consciousness with the help of the disaster creatures.

 But what are the “disastrous creatures” that the parrot calls?

Facing Angel’s question, the parrot thought for a while and said: "The disaster creature is the blood disaster. It is also what the light and shadow demon calls... the master of blood."

 At this point, the parrot's expression was slightly hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

After a while, the parrot seemed to have made a decision. He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Actually, I have no enmity with the light and shadow demon itself. I have an enmity with... the blood disaster."

Angor was still confused after hearing this.

 Whether Parrot has an explanation, that’s totally fine.

Disaster creatures are equal to blood disasters, and they are also equal to the masters of blood. But Angel didn't know what these three names represented...

Laplace said softly: "I probably know what he is talking about, but... I can't be sure yet."

 On the other side, after the parrot mentioned "taking revenge on the blood disaster", he seemed to be stuck in some kind of memory and remained silent for a long time.

　It took him a while before he came back to his senses.

The parrot raised his head and looked at Angel and Laplace with an apologetic look in his eyes: "I'm really grateful to you two for coming, but the disaster creature is a real disaster. I don't want you to Implicated by me."

“If possible, I hope you can tell the rice **** about my affairs here...”

The parrot wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Angel: "Since we are already here, it is meaningless to talk about this."

"As for the matter between the Rice God and you, you can resolve it yourself."

"Now, what we are more curious about is the blood disaster and the disaster of the creatures."

The parrot was silent for a moment and said softly: "If you want to explore my feud with the blood disaster, we have to start from many years ago..."

Angor originally just wanted to ask about Bloodscourge, but Parrot seemed to have misunderstood something and started directly talking about the process of enmity with Bloodscourge.

Angor thought about it but didn’t stop it. Anyway, he finally achieved his goal.

 There is only a process, and there is only a result.

As the parrot talked, Angel gradually understood the reason behind it.

In wizard years, about thirty years ago, Parrot was still working in a Void Caravan Group. His codename "Parrot" was also obtained from the Void Caravan Group.

　　The people of the Void Caravan Group not only have to roam the void with goods for business, they also have other jobs. These jobs include: inspectors, adventurers, escorts, pioneers... and so on.

For example, they will take over other people’s travel entrustments and take them to the corresponding destination across space and time distances.

Also, accept commissions from extraordinary beings, guilds, and organizations from different worlds to send messages to people on the other side of the void, or to explore and survey certain unknown places.

 When the Void Caravan Group becomes more and more famous, even those supernova organizations will entrust it.

 Thirty years ago, Parrot and the others received a commission from the Supernova Organization - the Lawful Guild.

The content of the commission is probably: An inspector who is stationed in the Druna plane all year round discovered that there was a suspected "mysterious phenomenon" and needed assistance from the Lawful Guild.

 The job of the inspector is to avoid disasters caused by mysterious disorders.

 But the strength of the enforcers in each world is different. In a world where mysteries occur frequently, the dispatched enforcers will be stronger; in a world where mysteries occur less frequently, the corresponding enforcers will be weaker.

 The probability of mysterious events occurring in the Druna plane is relatively low, which also results in the low strength of the inspectors in the Druna plane.

He discovered a mysterious phenomenon and had no way to deal with it himself.

More importantly, the location of the mysterious phenomenon was somewhat special. It was located in the divine domain of a certain god, and he couldn't even enter it. The news of the "mysterious phenomenon" was only heard by him from the "Jianren Tribe" related to this god.

 The Lawful Guild was also very embarrassed after learning the news.

 After all, the inspector did not witness the "mysterious phenomenon" with his own eyes, so it may not necessarily be a problem caused by the "mysterious" disorder. Sending people like this is a bit too hasty.

There are only a few mysterious hunters themselves, and all of them are very busy.

 If there is nothing, then it is a wasted trip.

 But if you don’t send someone there, it seems a bit lazy.

 Finally, the Lawful Guild contacted a void caravan group that happened to be in the Druna plane and commissioned them to help investigate the situation.

If even the people in the caravan group believe that there is a problem of "mysterious" disorder, they will immediately send mysterious hunters.

At that time, the business travel group that accepted this commission was the business travel group that Parrot belonged to.

As it happened, Parrot was very familiar with the Druna plane and often disguised his identity to go to the Jianren tribe to collect magic materials, so he was arranged by the business group to investigate the situation.

Of course, Parrot is not alone, he is just one of a hundred-man squad.

 After a lot of hard work, they finally succeeded in entering the divine realm.

 Then they discovered that this divine realm originated from a "lost" outer god, or beast god.

 “Lost” means missing for a long time, or has fallen away.

 In short, there are no gods in the Divine Realm, only the power of the gods remains.

 In this lost divine realm, they found a lot of good things, and even found an extremely rare apex tree cultivated with the direct blood of the beast god.

These pointed fruits possess the purest blood of the Beast God. Once eaten, people can even gain the ability of the Beast God. It is the most top-notch existence among all sharp fruits.

However, it was precisely because of this blood-tipped fruit tree, the direct descendant of the beast god, that their group encountered the most dangerous thing after entering the divine realm.

 They were locked by some unknown phenomenon.

This phenomenon is the "mysterious phenomenon" reported by the inspector. The specific situation is: as long as it does not comply with some mysterious rules, the blood in the body will instantly dry up and die as a mummy.

 From the perspective of the inspector, this is likely to be caused by a mysterious disorder.

However, after the parrot experienced it for himself, it can be said with certainty that the phenomenon here has nothing to do with mystery. Because there is no mystery here.

 But even if it is judged that it has nothing to do with mystery, it cannot save themselves.

 After all, they didn’t know the specific reason that caused their companions to become mummified and die one after another.

 The team of a hundred people fell down in an instant, with more than ten people.

Furthermore, in their view, the mummification of these people was completely unpredictable, and there seemed to be no signs, which caused a panic.

 The leader of the team is an extremely shrewd person. When others were in chaos, he calmly analyzed and reviewed, and finally determined one thing.

 All mummified people are in the reflection, refraction and diffraction range of the "mirror".

 Or to put it more simply, there must be mirrors around the dead person. This kind of mirror surface is not just a mirror surface, even smooth glass, small puddles, and even marble slabs that can reflect people's shadows are also included in the mirror surface.

According to the captain, it is very likely that there is an existence hidden in the mirror, using the mirror as a springboard to harvest their lives.

If you want to leave safely, you can only move without being reflected by the mirror.

 But this is difficult, because in the current divine realm, although the gods have been "lost", there are magnificent decorations everywhere, and everything is as smooth as a mirror.

 The most important thing is that they cannot use space abilities in the God's Domain, nor can they fly.

 In other words, they had to walk if they wanted to leave. But there is absolutely no way to avoid being shot by the mirror while walking.

While everyone was hiding in a corner and unable to do anything, a light drizzle suddenly started falling from the sky.

 Then…someone died again.

 Raindrops can also be used as a tiny mirror.

 Obviously, the unknown existence hiding in the mirror is no longer content to rely on the existing mirror to kill people. "It" also plans to take the initiative to keep them all in the divine realm.

Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, the captain made a decision: to enter the mirror.

The other party seems to be restricted by some rules and can only kill one person at a time. In other words, when he kills others, others are safe.

 As long as "it" kills people, others can sneak into the mirror.

 The people in the business group can do business in the void, so they naturally understand the Mirror Realm. Although they do not have the ability to directly enter the mirror realm, if a mirror realm creature interferes with the outside world, they can counter-invade the mirror realm through the mirror where the opponent is located.

The captain has always believed that the person who killed the person was some kind of mirror realm creature hidden in the mirror realm. When "it" killed someone, the mirror surface would definitely fluctuate. As long as the opposite mirror surface was found, it could counter-invade the mirror realm.

 By killing each other at that time, their crisis will be completely eliminated.

 In the end, the captain really succeeded in finding the mirror entrance.

　　A group of people, including Parrot, entered the mirror. They thought that as long as they found the murderous being, they would survive.

However, what they didn't expect was that behind the mirror was... the dark mirror realm.
