Chapter 1099: The Letter Destined to be Received
A letter from a Great One? Lu Mi suddenly laughed and interrupted the old man's words:
"I feel that you don't seem to actually exist in this house."
While Lu Mi was speaking, Franca walked two steps to the side and leaned against Jenna, with layers of virtual shadows appearing in her eyes.
The thin old man wearing a wrinkled formal suit seemed to have a great desire to express himself, and actually explained his current state to Lu Mi:
"I think I exist, and you also believe I exist, so I exist. The reverse is also true."
Franca had a headache listening to this, muttering:
"Are you talking about philosophy?"
The old man's eyes lit up:
"How did you know my previous, hmm, in your words, sequence, was called 'Philosopher'?"
It really is... The spiritual intuition of a Demoness is indeed not fake... Franca was stunned.
Philosopher? Lu Mi suddenly thought of a secret organization, a heretic cult:
"First Philosophy"!
The mental patient who was disguised as him by "I have a friend" as a substitute was also described as looking like a philosopher... Lu Mi said thoughtfully to the old man:
"The ritual of Mithra?"
"You know the many layers of heaven, the formless door?" The old man responded very happily, "Have you also felt immortality?"
Lu Mi shook his head and said in a flat tone:
"No."
"I just killed a few 'Initiates'."
He was provoking, and also showing the arrogance of a "Hunter" to better act as an "Iron-Blooded Knight."
Moreover, if he really discussed immortality and the formless door with a "Philosopher," it was very likely that he would be brought into his "Kingdom," unknowingly influenced, and have very serious problems.
The expression on the old man's face disappeared. He looked at Lu Mi and said in a hollow voice:
"A Great One asked me to deliver a letter to you."
"Which one?" Before Lu Mi asked, he looked at Franca and Jenna.
The two Demonesses disappeared from the house silently, leaving only two makeup mirrors placed on the ground at some point.
When Lu Mi first changed the subject, Franca used her and Jenna's proximity, used their eyes as a medium, and quietly transferred their bodies away through the Mirror World, leaving only mirror projections!
Now, they didn't even maintain the mirror projections.
They already knew from Lu Mi that deeply understanding the honorifics and information of the Great Ones would seriously pollute themselves. This was something that mirror projections could not block, and even the hidden sleeping mirror would be affected!
The old man didn't care about Franca and Jenna's departure and looked at Lu Mi:
"It is the great 'Circle of Fate'."
"Circle of Fate"? The one He hates most now shouldn't be me, it should be Amon. What letter is He sending me? Is He trying to turn me against Him? Why would I be valued by such a Great One... Or, is the so-called letter just a medium to harvest my life? Lu Mi asked the old man with great interest:
"You shouldn't be an Angel, right? Except for a few, the other Great Ones have not been able to send power at the Angel level into the barrier for the time being."
"Can you understand the true honorifics of the Great Ones?"
In Lu Mi's view, this old man was at most Sequence 3.
The old man smiled and answered:
"This is the special feature and source of pain for the 'Messenger of God,' but it is also our most powerful ability."
"Pollution gives us power."
It sounds quite philosophical... However, this special feature is really very strong. In the past, the "First Philosophy" Beyonders I encountered were all very good at pouring voices into other people's ears or minds. If this was the true honorific of the Great Ones, who below the Angel level could bear it? Lu Mi suddenly felt that he was lucky. Before becoming an Angel, he had not encountered a "Messenger of God."
Or maybe it wasn't luck, but an arrangement... As thoughts flashed, he laughed at himself in his heart.
Accompanied by such cognition, his blue eyes instantly turned iron-black.
He didn't want to receive the "Circle of Fate's" letter. He wanted to find the occult connection between the old man in front of him and his main body by scouting for overall weaknesses, and then blow them up together!
Just then, the old man's body suddenly blurred.
A silver-white and black color rose within his body.
His hollow voice followed:
"Please receive the letter."
He shrank as a whole and turned into a silver-white and black stream of light, rushing straight toward Lu Mi.
He in this house was the letter, and the letter was him!
Lu Mi activated the black mark on his right shoulder and quickly disappeared from the spot.
He "teleported" directly to the Barents Sea, far away from Trier.
However, the silver-white and black stream of light was still in front of him, still throwing itself at him, and was not shaken off by him.
Lu Mi did not hesitate, letting layers of virtual shadows protrude from his eyes that had returned to blue.
With this, he entered the Mirror World.
The silver-white and black stream of light was still in front of him, in the illusory and dark tunnel, as if destined to be received by him.
This is a fate that cannot be shaken off no matter what!
Lu Mi flashed into another mirror tunnel, and the silver-white and black stream of light was cast in front of him again.
This time, Lu Mi did not escape again. His eyes quickly turned silver-black.
"Eye of Calamity"!
Although the power of fate on him had not further improved, thanks to the ability of "scouting weaknesses" having reached the Angel level, the "Eye of Calamity" combined by it and the power of fate naturally had a certain degree of enhancement.
Since he couldn't escape, he would try to clear this letter from the level of fate!
Soon, Lu Mi saw the illusory river of mercury-colored water rushing quietly, and also saw the scene of himself catching the silver-white and black stream of light.
It existed in almost all branches of fate.
In other words, Lu Mi saw the future of himself receiving the "letter," a future destined to be staged.
The only variable was that there was still one branch that did not contain such a future. It was very marginalized and chaotic. With Lu Mi's current ability, it was very difficult to push fate to that point.
Lacking the necessary prerequisites!
A moment later, Lu Mi saw another picture.
In the picture, besides himself, the person who received the "letter" was Amon, who was wearing a black robe, a monocle, and a pointed soft hat.
Clang!
Lu Mi suddenly heard the ethereal bell sound coming through thick history.
A scene naturally appeared in his mind:
Amon, with a thin face and a monocle, was standing in the bell tower, pushing the bell hammer and striking the huge bell.
Accompanied by this sound, the ancient and mottled huge stone clock appeared.
It was a phantom, and the dial was divided into twelve unequal grids by intersecting blue-black and gray-white, each with different symbols representing different times.
Three semi-transparent little bugs with segments formed the hands of the stone clock.
They stopped jumping, and an indescribable formless torrent emerged, rolling the silver-white and black stream of light into it, appearing to solidify.
Lu Mi was not in the range of influence, and a familiar voice with a hint of laughter sounded in his ear:
"Do you know what the main ability of the 'Sufferer' is?"
Without waiting for Lu Mi's response, the voice answered itself:
"Reproducing the suffering one has experienced on the target."
As soon as the words fell, the silver-white and black stream of light solidified in time broke through the shackles and flew toward Lu Mi again.
But waiting for it in front was a sea of light that was abnormally intense and unimaginable.
A supernova seemed to have erupted again, erupting in a small range.
This Mirror World collapsed, and a large number of mirrors shattered silently.
Of course, this was still a short distance from a real supernova eruption, and could only be considered a simulation-style reproduction.
Although Lu Mi was out of range, his body also shattered and was re-outlined outside the Mirror World.
At this moment, in his "Eye of Calamity," the prerequisites for pushing fate to the marginal branch were satisfied.
Lu Mi did not hesitate to push out his left palm, releasing nearly half of his spirituality, letting the mercury-colored river of fate flow into the corresponding branch.
Everything was calm.
Just as Lu Mi wanted to turn his head and look at Amon, who had appeared beside him at some point, dots of silver-white and black light suddenly precipitated in the void, forming a paragraph of text.
Although the "Circle of Fate's" letter failed to be delivered directly to him and Amon, it still inevitably manifested.
That text was very complex, but it didn't prevent Lu Mi from interpreting its meaning directly:
"Stay away from the special Mirror World, otherwise you are destined to lose control and go crazy."
Huh? Lu Mi was a little stunned.
Is this reminding me?
"Circle of Fate" didn't try to pollute me or punish me, but instead reminded me?
Does He want to betray other "Outer Deities"?
In surprise, Lu Mi's attention was on the description of "losing control and going crazy."
He then remembered the prophecy of the "Apocalypse Book" and the future self he suspected he had seen during the hostel incident.
"Are all prophecies about my future inseparable from the word 'crazy'?" Lu Mi muttered to himself.
Amon, who was standing in mid-air in some way, shook his head with slight disappointment:
"It's not a letter for me, why call me to receive it?"
"Perhaps, you will also lose control and go crazy if you enter the special Mirror World." Lu Mi tried to interpret the hidden meaning of the "Circle of Fate's" words.
Saying this, he stopped.
He remembered that the "young man" with a monocle beside him used to be the top "Cryptologist."
Amon smiled and echoed:
"There is this possibility."
"But I can indeed not go to the special Mirror World. Can you?"
Lu Mi really wanted to answer yes, but under the entanglement of fate, the special nature of the pathway, and various prerequisites, he felt that he would sooner or later enter the special Mirror World and enter the depths of Fourth Epoch Trier. He could only hope to delay this as much as possible until he was fully prepared.
"Why did the 'Circle of Fate' remind me?" Lu Mi asked habitually.
Amon pinched his monocle and laughed:
"Did that old guy designate me as a recipient as well, wanting me to help you decrypt it?"
He continued with a smile:
"The interpretation is that entering the special Mirror World does indeed have the danger of losing control and going crazy for you, and this might bring unknown risks to those old guys."
"The interpretation is that entering the special mirror world does indeed carry the danger of losing control and going mad for you, and this might bring unknown risks to those old fellows."
