Chapter 714: Accusation

~10 min read 1,933 words

Lu Mi, wearing a wide-brimmed round hat and a black woolen overcoat, stood on the side of Mo Lan Avigny's villa, looking at the garden with withered branches and few leaves, and said to Fu Lan Ka:

"Keep your distance later."

While speaking, Lu Mi's eyes turned silver-black again, observing the tributaries of fate corresponding to Fu Lan Ka's future.

That tributary dyed with faint black had nothing to do with the subsequent infiltration. That is to say, from the current situation, infiltrating Mo Lan Avigny's villa and leaving a "Mirror Mark" on the surface of the full-length mirror in his study did not have a high risk of death.

Of course, Lu Mi didn't dare to be careless because of this. After using "Calamity Eye" many times, he found that the fate tributary dyed black only had one hidden death disaster that was not equal to hiding.

In Fu Lan Ka's words, many "death calamities" were hidden in positions further back in the fate tributaries, which were very blurry now and were something Lu Mi couldn't see or distinguish.

That is to say, although there was only one fate tributary dyed faint black when breaking into Mo Lan Avigny's villa, after Fu Lan Ka made a choice and tried to infiltrate, turning the originally harmless fate tributary into the main trunk, among the fate tributaries that branched out later, perhaps there was still one dyed black, symbolizing disasters related to death.

Lu Mi's most real understanding of this was:

The future fate has all kinds of possibilities and changes.

Of course, there are also parts of fate that are destined not to change. For example, for the vast majority of humans, death is destined to come.

"Don't worry, I'm not a rookie." Fu Lan Ka was definitely experienced in infiltration.

Assassin's first lesson: Infiltration!

Lu Mi didn't say anything more, withdrew his gaze, activated the mark, turned himself into a shadow creature, and merged into the shadows brought by the plants in the garden.

Fu Lan Ka took a step forward and also disappeared beside the shadows that swayed due to the wind.

The two quickly infiltrated to the side of the villa.

At this time, Mo Lan Avigny was attending a meeting between ministers, and his wife had taken the maid to an art salon. Only a few male servants, maids, gardeners, and cooks were left in the villa.

The Avigny family didn't live here. Only the direct family members of this Minister of Industry could live in the villa provided by the government, and Mo Lan Avigny's three children had either already started a family and moved out, or were still at the university in the Memorial Hall District and would only return on weekends.

For Lu Mi and Fu Lan Ka, this was the time when the security of the target location was the weakest. After all, the most important thing was Mo Lan Avigny himself, and the hidden protection forces would definitely follow him away.

Lu Mi grew out of the shadows in the corner of the wall and said to Fu Lan Ka:

"You just wait here and guard against accidents."

"Okay!" Fu Lan Ka didn't protest or argue.

Lu Mi looked at the fate tributaries of this "Pleasure Witch" for a few seconds again and turned into a shadow creature again, entering Mo Lan Avigny's villa silently.

He couldn't see his own future fate, even if he used a mirror, so he could only infer his own by observing his companions'.

Fu Lan Ka followed and hid in the shadows, waiting patiently.

Not long after, Lu Mi arrived at Mo Lan Avigny's study as if returning to his own home—in his several observations, Mo Lan Avigny used the full-length mirror here to enter the Mirror World.

As for why he was so familiar with the environment, it was because "007" had provided a detailed security map.

The winter afternoon sun at four o'clock was already quite dim, the light and shadow in the study were intertwined, the feeling of dusk was quite rich, and silence was the melody that had lasted here for a long time.

Lu Mi walked through the shadows in the study carefully and cautiously, finding no traps and seeing no one hiding.

Only then did he turn back into a human, detached from the shadows, and appeared in front of the full-length mirror.

With the activation of the black mark, Lu Mi reached out his right palm and pressed it on the cold and hard glass mirror surface.

A blood-colored handprint appeared there, but it was upside down and swapped left and right from Lu Mi's right palm, as if it came from another person.

The inverted, evil blood-colored palm print quickly faded, merged into the mirror, and disappeared.

Lu Mi was about to withdraw his right palm and leave here when a hand suddenly reached out from the full-length mirror and grabbed his wrist.

That hand appeared to be a healthy white, with slender and powerful fingers.

It pulled hard, and Lu Mi, who was caught off guard, was dragged and crashed toward the glass mirror surface.

It didn't know when it had become void and had no substance. Lu Mi's eyes went dark, then brightened, and he saw a large number of gloomy tunnels existing in the form of a spider web.

In the area corresponding to the current mirror, a man of ordinary height and unremarkable appearance stood at the edge, raised a brass revolver, aimed at Lu Mi, and pulled the trigger.

He was wearing a dark woolen formal suit, wearing a top hat, with a button made of glass-like material nailed to his cuff, and a faint smile on his face, as if mocking Lu Mi for not considering that Mo Lan Avigny had a bodyguard hidden in the mirror.

Bang!

A bullet flashing with dark green light shot out, rushing toward Lu Mi.

Lu Mi's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and the bullet hit the afterimage he left behind, flying into one of the gloomy and void tunnels.

The next second, Lu Mi's figure was quickly outlined behind the ambusher, and he "hummed" out a sound without hesitation.

Two white lights sprayed out from his nose and fell on the ambusher.

The ambusher closed his eyes and fell into a coma, falling toward the ground.

He had just fallen halfway when his eyeballs turned rapidly, and he actually woke up.

Plop! He took the opportunity to fall to the ground, "falling" his body into a shadow.

The shadow split into multiple pieces, walking in all directions, entering different gloomy tunnels.

Immediately after, the ambusher appeared hidden in a void tunnel, his body shadowy, as if shrouded in pale white mist.

His eyes, also filled with mist, reflected Lu Mi's figure. Before Lu Mi could sense it and turn to look, he used a strange language that could pry into natural power:

"You have sinned!"

Lu Mi had never been exposed to this language, but he clearly understood what it meant. His body suddenly froze, as if it had been subjected to invisible restrictions.

The ambusher opened his mouth again:

"You blaspheme!"

Suddenly, the entire Mirror World solidified, and all those gloomy, dark, void, and unreal tunnels became small insects in amber.

Lu Mi heard the terrifying sound that seemed to come from the infinite distance again.

Vaguely, he "saw" three figures.

Those three figures were all sitting cross-legged, one facing left, one looking straight ahead, one looking right, and the postures of their hands were different.

One was heavy, one was real, one was illusory, in three different states, moving, changing, and swapping around the silver-white center.

The magnificent and huge sound echoed, and Lu Mi's mind buzzed and lost his thoughts.

In the blurry, vivid, and faint pain, the confused Lu Mi felt a familiar burning sensation coming from his left chest, and his right palm was sometimes hot and sometimes cold.

With this, he found back his self-consciousness bit by bit.

In a solidified gloomy tunnel, the ambusher saw silver-white and black tumors bursting out on Lu Mi's body surface, and evil patterns composed of sticky liquid appeared, while cold, strange winds blew around. In the depths of different tunnels, darkness squirmed, as if some monster was about to crawl out.

The ambusher stiffened because of this, his body becoming increasingly lacking in substance, with pale white mist appearing and disappearing inside.

I don't know how long it took, this man finally survived the most dangerous moment and regained the feeling of his body, as well as his vision and hearing.

Looking at Lu Mi, whose tumors and patterns had faded, the ambusher instinctively and unusually fearfully flashed a few thoughts:

"How exactly did he blaspheme?"

"Which god did he blaspheme?"

"Why didn't he lose control directly?"

"I have never encountered such a situation!"

The ambusher possessed a supernatural ability that allowed him to see what sins the target had committed, and then bring an "accusation" against him based on different crimes. Different degrees of sin would suffer completely different damage and influence, which was also something the accuser couldn't predict in advance and could only make certain guesses based on the experience gained from previous "cases."

This was the first time the ambusher had encountered a sinner suffering from a god's punishment after blaspheming, and the overflow of influence made even him almost unable to bear it!

Fortunately, he recovered earlier than the target.

The ambusher raised the brass revolver again, aiming at Lu Mi, who was bending his waist and back in a painful state.

Just as he pulled the trigger, Lu Mi suddenly raised his head, his expression twisted and his eyes fierce.

Bang!

A bullet flashing with starlight flew out of the muzzle, locking onto the target's body.

Almost at the same time, Lu Mi's shadow came alive and flipped upward.

Splash!

The black shadow shattered like a mirror, and accompanied by starlight, it dented inward and completely vanished.

After a brief disappearance, Lu Mi's figure was outlined behind the ambusher, and he "hummed" out a sound again.

Just now, he used the "Shadow Activation" ability in time, and the shadow triggered the "Mirror Substitute" from Fu Lan Ka!

This was the reason Lu Mi let Fu Lan Ka infiltrate together and wait outside the villa—relying on "Mirror Substitute" required keeping within a certain distance.

Facts proved that his shadow could also share "Mirror Substitute"!

Two white lights sprayed out, making the ambusher close his eyes again.

This time, Lu Mi didn't give the enemy a chance to wake up quickly, stretched his right foot forward to block, letting the other party avoid falling directly.

At the same time, he pulled out his own revolver and pressed it against the target's forehead.

The ambusher's eyes turned, and he woke up, feeling the terrifying pressure created by the muzzle.

He piled up a smile, handed out his own revolver, and said in a low voice:

"Take this, can you let me go?"

Lu Mi's thoughts turned, he took the revolver, and nodded:

"Okay."

He then withdrew his handgun.

The ambusher maintained a humble and flattering smile, turned his body, and walked toward the depths of the gloomy tunnel.

Suddenly, Lu Mi heard the magnificent and layered voice of Termiboros:

"You'd better not let him go."

Uh... Lu Mi's eyes condensed, and he instantly detected the abnormality.

Why did I agree to that deal just now?

Why did I want to let him go?
