Chapter 1031

When the rumbling thunder sounded, the sky became dim, and the environment became extremely oppressive because of it.

The "Mystic Queen," maintaining the illusion of Lu Mianna, picked up the phone and dialed a number.

That was the private number of Hall Director Yagates.

After it connected, Bei Er Na Dai said directly:

"I have received a personal threat; I need the best protection."

She was calling the police.

She then explained:

"It might be brought about by my father transferring power to me; I need protection!"

Bei Er Na Dai placed heavy emphasis on the word "protection."

The Hall Director was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Okay."

…………

Amidst the dimness and oppression, the vast majority of people in the dream city became blurry.

But this didn't hinder them from going online; they used mobile phones, they checked information.

Just then, whether it was videos, books, novels, or news, everything suddenly disintegrated into pure static noise.

These countless noise points spread rapidly, forming a huge information vortex.

The internet world experienced a malfunction.

…………

Inside Mushu Hospital.

The blurry and distorted patients, doctors, nurses, and nursing staff, along with those who were still relatively clear, simultaneously raised their heads and looked toward the high place covered by the ceiling.

A crack suddenly split open in the dim and gloomy sky, and pure, brilliant sunlight spilled down instantly, shining straight onto the main building of Mushu Hospital, piercing into every dark place and every underground level.

In the low-hanging leaden clouds, countless silver-white electric snakes intertwined into huge, flamboyant lightning.

This lightning followed the path opened by the sunlight, struck into the main building of Mushu Hospital, and submerged this place in a magnificent and scorching ocean of thunder.

…………

Inside the mirror-world-turned Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station.

Lu Mian, who had finished answering the Magic Mirror Arrodes' question, didn't rush to take further action, still waiting unhurriedly as if for something, and asked:

"Third question, how can I make the owner of the Star Dream Grocery Store provide the necessary help to Forsythe?"

On the surface of the magic mirror, those pale words didn't change color, but recombined into new content:

"Pass Forsythe's 'Mirror Substitute' to Him through me, through the mirror world."

Then, the Magic Mirror Arrodes asked back:

"Don't you have it?"

"I do." Lu Mian laughed, took out Forsythe's "Mirror Substitute," and pressed it into the glass surface of the Magic Mirror Arrodes.

At this special moment when the dream city was shaking and character images were blurry, the restrictions on his Beyonder abilities also became smaller. He had recovered to a level infinitely close to Sequence 4, which was why he could use the mirror world to quickly send an item to the Star Dream Grocery Store, which was clearly beyond a ten-kilometer range.

After finishing this, Lu Mian looked at Zhou Mingrui, who had a solemn expression and was constantly moving away from those dark mirrors and the self in the mirror, and switched to holding the Magic Mirror Arrodes with his left hand.

It was time!

He didn't hesitate to trigger the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" in the palm of his right hand.

That mark, which had turned dark red due to the fusion of an unknown gift, suddenly stood out, appearing to have signs of melting back into blood.

But that crazy, violent, and bloody aura didn't dissipate, being suppressed tightly by the pale color filled with a feeling of deathly silence.

Of course, after Lu Mian used the corpse oil candle last time, the pale and dark red had an extremely subtle fusion phenomenon. At this moment, that point of fusion turned strangely dark, sank inward slightly, and appeared with unusual changes.

Lu Mian reached his right palm into the "Traveler's Bag" and took out that Blasphemy Card obtained from the Emperor Roselle in the mirror—the "Demoness" card!

He made this "Demoness" card stick tightly to his palm, stick to the mutated "Blood Emperor" residual aura and the seal of the Netherworld Daoist, and stick to the slight depression caused by the slight fusion of the pale and dark red.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Mian felt a bit of bone-chilling coldness and terror in the palm of his right hand.

He didn't need to use his eyes to see; a picture naturally appeared in his mind:

A "pinhole" had appeared in his palm, a "pinhole" eroded by pure darkness.

Sure enough, this "Demoness" card had to be used here... If he didn't have it, he would have to light the corpse oil candle, which would not only be rushed in time, requiring the ritual to be held earlier and adding significant risk, but the effect might not be as good... As Lu Mian's thoughts raced, he extended his right hand holding the "Demoness" card toward the Magic Mirror Arrodes.

His palm penetrated the mirror surface of this ancient silver mirror and reached into the area behind the mirror.

But his person didn't go in; it was more like using the magic mirror as a "spellcasting" medium.

The next second, a scene appeared in Lu Mian's thoughts:

The dark void around the area behind the mirror seemed to be covered by an invisible curtain, and behind the curtain, pairs of eyes were watching the outside world, and inexplicable things were flowing silently.

This was the area behind the mirror corresponding to the Magic Mirror Arrodes, which clearly had certain special features compared to other mirrors.

Immediately after, Lu Mian "saw" the curtain covering the dark void collapse silently and peel off as his right palm reached in.

The entire darkness was collapsing.

What entered Lu Mian's mind wasn't the pairs of eyes he had expected, nor was it a rushing river, but a viscous liquid that was difficult to describe in words and seemed to contain all colors.

These liquids seemed to form an illusory ocean. Although Lu Mian didn't truly "see" or touch it, just sensing it made him feel his body and mind beginning to fall, his spirit gradually becoming abnormal.

Then, that illusory ocean was pushed by an invisible great force, moving to both sides until it was far away from Lu Mian's "mind."

Following this path in the ocean, Lu Mian's consciousness moved forward rapidly, "seeing" gray stone walls, "seeing" blood flowing on the stone walls.

Those scarlet bloods formed sentences:

"In order to test the correct plan, He finally decided to let the 'Red Priest' and 'Demoness' of the same era meet, guiding them to combine together...

"This will bring about a destined accident..."

The picture froze here, and the Magic Mirror Arrodes in Lu Mian's palm suddenly radiated an ancient, chaotic brilliance.

Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station, Arrival Hall.

Zhou Mingrui had already turned and run wildly, but no matter where he ran, pillars, walls, floors, and ceilings would turn into mirrors, reflecting his figure.

And the "he" in the mirror always wore a cold and creepy smile.

After running for a while, Zhou Mingrui stopped abruptly, because above his head, under his feet, and all around him had become dark mirrors, all of them being the Zhou Mingrui in the mirror.

"Give up...

"Give up..."

Every Zhou Mingrui in the mirror advised him like this.

They were not only advising but also reaching their hands out of the mirror surface, grabbing toward Zhou Mingrui, leaving him nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.

Zhou Mingrui didn't give up just like that, struggling in the narrow space, dodging left and right, barely avoiding the first round of grabbing.

Just then, pure darkness covered in gray-white mist and hiding a vast city protruded from all the mirrors at the scene.

In the blink of an eye, the gray-white mist and the vast city collapsed toward the depths of the darkness.

That darkness "came alive," rushing toward the mirror surface, rushing toward the Zhou Mingrui in the mirror behind every mirror.

The Zhou Mingrui in the mirror tried hard to grab toward Zhou Mingrui, wanting to use this to escape the mirror, but in the short term, it was really difficult to succeed.

Soon, the darkness surged to the area behind the mirror, swallowing one Zhou Mingrui in the mirror after another, making the cold and creepy smiles on their faces freeze completely.

This darkness that submerged everything filled all the areas behind the mirrors uncontrollably and with the momentum of a landslide.

All the Zhou Mingruis in the mirrors disappeared.

The darkness continued forward, breaking through mirror after mirror, and surged into the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station.

This high-speed railway station began to collapse, collapsing inch by inch, just like the dream gradually shattering, with fragments falling into the deep darkness.

At this time, Jianna discovered that the dream's rejection force and the rapid marionette transformation force had both become much weaker, so she hurriedly approached the blurry Luo Shan, trying to take her away from the high-speed railway station.

As for whether the dream's damage would continue after leaving the high-speed railway station, and what would happen to Luo Shan then, Jianna didn't think about it for the time being, nor could she think about it.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two sides was too far. Before Jianna had truly approached Luo Shan, she saw that deep darkness swallow the corresponding area.

Luo Shan's blurry figure faded rapidly, shattering like a soap bubble.

The last picture she saw was Jianna running toward her with an anxious face.

She smiled with gratification.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

She disappeared completely.

At the same time, Jianna seemed to hear Luo Shan saying:

"Remember me, don't forget!"

Jianna stopped her footsteps, and before the deep darkness surged over, she used the remaining dream rejection force to leave this city.

She responded to Luo Shan's words in her heart:

"I will always remember you!"

Lu Mian, who was far away from this deep darkness, discovered that Jianna's expression had become confused and blank, and he let out a silent sigh of relief.

Next, he watched expressionlessly as the Jianna in the dream was dissolved by the deep darkness, watching Zhou Mingrui run wildly in the high-speed railway station, trying to stay away from the deep darkness surging like seawater.

The surging of that darkness gradually slowed down, as if it had been suppressed and weakened by the main consciousness of the dream.

Finally, after swallowing most of the high-speed railway station, the deep darkness stopped at a place only a few dozen centimeters away from Zhou Mingrui.

The dream city stabilized again, and even the remaining passengers and people meeting them gradually became clear.

Zhou Mingrui ran a few more steps, confirming that the danger had really eased.

He then saw that handsome security guard Li Ming walk out from a corner not far away, walking toward him.

"Is this incident over?" Zhou Mingrui asked eagerly.

Lu Mian had already put the Magic Mirror Arrodes and the "Demoness" card back into the "Traveler's Bag." He looked at Zhou Mingrui, and when there were still a few meters of distance between the two sides, he answered calmly:

"I would very much like to say that things are over.

"But unfortunately, not yet."

Zhou Mingrui was startled, his back gradually straightened, his lips curled slightly, and his expression was no longer the same as just now.

He laughed softly:

"Yeah, not yet."
