Chapter 715: Between White and Black (Thanks to Livy37 for the Silver Alliance reward again)

Lu Mi, who received the reminder from Termiboros, immediately felt that there was a problem.

At this time, the ambusher was leaving slowly, as if worried that walking too fast would make Lu Mi discover the abnormality in advance and wake up. And for some reason, no huge whirlpool was generated in the depths of the gloomy and void tunnel, and the ambusher who had already entered the interior was not directly sucked to another mirror.

Looking at his back, Lu Mi lowered his head to look at his shadow that had returned to normal, put away the brass revolver obtained from the enemy, took out the "Torture" gloves from his "Traveler's Bag," and put them on his hands at a moderate pace.

The next second, Lu Mi's body was wrapped in scorching white flames, turning into a violently burning long spear, flying toward the ambusher's back.

The ambusher's worry finally became reality. He hurriedly dodged, wanting to turn into a shadow, escape to the depths of the gloomy tunnel in a five-false-one-true manner, and then activate "Mirror Shuttle" to completely leave here and return to the pre-set mirror.

Just then, as the flames forming the scorching white long spear fell one by one, Lu Mi's figure appeared.

The shadow at the ambusher's feet came alive, entangling his body that hadn't completely turned into a shadow, making him unable to split into six and run in all directions for a short time, having to stay in place.

Lu Mi took a step forward, and in the ambusher's terrified eyes, rushed in front of him, his fists alternating and slamming out, starting to "torture."

Bang!

Lu Mi's first punch made the ambusher's intense terror rise even higher, and the target had just barely broken free from the entanglement of his own shadow.

Bang!

Lu Mi's second punch made the enemy's already high terror emotion explode instantly.

This wasn't luck, but in the current situation, the ambusher's terror emotion was clearly beyond the normal scope. Lu Mi, whose eyes were silver-black, saw the corresponding future and directly targeted this weakness, simulating the terror emotion in his mind while throwing the punch.

Thus, the first punch added fuel to the fire, the second punch increased the probability, and it successfully exploded.

The ambusher froze in place, his heart stopped beating for a short time due to the exploding terror emotion, his mind went blank, and fresh blood flowed from his nose.

Seeing this, Lu Mi took out the only ritual sheepskin from his "Traveler's Bag" and covered the ambusher's head.

Immediately after, he chanted the opening incantation in Hermes:

"Sheep!"

A gloomy light flashed, and the ambusher turned into a sheep with light white and gray hair.

Lu Mi looked at the sheep whose eyes were protruding with a large number of bloodshot eyes and residual terror emotions. While taking off the "Torture" gloves and putting them back into the "Traveler's Bag," he said with a smile:

"You wanted to let me let you go with just such a broken gun?"

After saying that, Lu Mi bent his waist and back, picked up the paralyzed sheep, and returned to the back of the mirror in Mo Lan Avigny's study, trying to step out.

He didn't have the ability to enter and exit mirrors and wasn't sure if he could leave like this. If it didn't work, he would use the "Mirror Mark" he had prepared in advance, use "Spirit Realm Shuttle," go directly to the special, fixed Mirror World exit in underground Trier, and then "teleport" back to find Fu Lan Ka—this was to prevent accidents behind the mirror and make some preparations in advance.

Lu Mi's eyes went dark and then brightened, and he returned to Mo Lan Avigny's study with the terrified sheep.

He walked quickly to the window, carefully pushed open the glass window, and unsurprisingly saw that Fu Lan Ka had detached from the shadows and lurked to the side of the narrow windowsill.

—After discovering that the mirror substitute she made for Lu Mi was broken, Fu Lan Ka decisively came up to scout, seeing if her teammate needed help.

"Are you okay?" Fu Lan Ka asked extremely softly.

"Let's talk after we go back." Lu Mi threw the sheep to Fu Lan Ka.

Fu Lan Ka didn't waste time, caught the sheep, hid into the shadows with it, and disappeared.

Lu Mi didn't rush to leave. He put on his gloves and dealt with the various traces he had left in the room.

Not long after, Fu Lan Ka returned and used the statue of the "Primordial Witch," her own mirror, and the black magic of the "Witch" to complete the anti-divination and anti-prophecy link.

…………

Underground Trier, in an abandoned tunnel not too far from the fixed entrance of the Mirror World.

Fu Lan Ka, who already knew the detailed situation from Lu Mi, looked at the shivering sheep and said excitedly:

"How should we interrogate it? Like before, prepare a mechanical typewriter for it?

"But we don't have truth serum anymore."

Anthony, who wasn't wearing gold-rimmed glasses and had returned to his veteran appearance, stared at the sheep for two seconds and said:

"I'll communicate with him."

"Do we need to leave first?" Jianna asked cautiously.

Anthony nodded:

"I'm not afraid of you watching, but with fewer people, he will have more sense of security, which is more convenient for communication."

Afraid that our presence would cause fright and affect the effect of "hypnosis"? Lu Mi turned his body thoughtfully and walked out of the dark tunnel with a closed bottom with Fu Lan Ka and Jianna.

Not long after, the sheep followed Anthony out quietly and steadily, no longer as fearful and uneasy as just now.

"You can lift the 'Beast-Making Technique'." Anthony smiled at Lu Mi, "He already knows that we are doing this for his own good and want to help him. As long as we don't ask questions that involve faith in gods or directly affect his life, he will tell us frankly and friendly."

The sheep nodded seriously, indicating that what Anthony said was true.

Lu Mi turned his head to look at Fu Lan Ka and Jianna, finding that their eyes were written with similar feelings:

"'Hypnotist' is really terrifying!"

"'Spectator' is really terrifying!"

Yeah... Lu Mi felt deeply in his heart.

He looked at the sheep and chanted the lifting incantation in Hermes:

"Archbishop."

As the gloomy light flashed, the sheepskin automatically detached, and the ambusher from before appeared in the eyes of Lu Mi and the others in a semi-prone posture.

Lu Mi put away the sheepskin while asking with a smile:

"What is your name?"

"Yebus Lata." The ambusher answered as if chatting with a friend.

Lu Mi, who was holding the carbide lamp, asked further with a gentle attitude:

"Are you providing protection for Mo Lan Avigny?"

"Yes." Yebus Lata answered sincerely, "Mainly hiding behind the mirror, monitoring the outside, and guarding against accidents in the Mirror World, ensuring that Mo Lan Avigny can complete certain things by using the Mirror World to go to different places without being discovered or ambushed."

The security measures are quite tight, with no obvious loopholes... Fu Lan Ka muttered, taking the initiative to show the charm of a "Pleasure Witch," and asked with a smile:

"Which organization do you belong to?"

Yebus's gaze was attracted to Fu Lan Ka, and he answered almost instinctively:

"'Truth School'."

"'Truth'?" Lu Mi raised an eyebrow.

Yebus didn't look at him, his gaze moving back and forth between the two Witches:

"Yes, Truth."

His expression became a little serious, and he said to Fu Lan Ka and Jianna in a tone like preaching:

"What do you think is the background color of this world?"

Before the two Witches could answer, he said to himself:

"It's not white, nor is it black, not light, nor is it darkness."

"It is the gray between white and black, the mist between light and darkness, it is shadow, it is change, it is chaos!"

Characteristics of the corresponding pathway? Lu Mi, whose arcane knowledge could already be called rich, thoughtfully changed the topic:

"Do you know Mo Lan Avigny's identity?"

This was the thing they needed to understand most at the moment.

Yebus nodded very relaxedly, as if getting along with a companion:

"I know, he is a member of the Tamara family, but he has been replaced by a 'Mirror Person' from the underground of Trier."

"Then why are you still cooperating with him?" Fu Lan Ka asked.

Yebus laughed:

"Didn't I just tell you?"

"The background color of this world is not white, nor is it black, but gray. As long as the goal can be achieved, why can't we cooperate with a 'Mirror Person'?"

"'Truth School' wants to achieve what goal?" Lu Mi asked quickly.

Yebus looked at Fu Lan Ka's face and lake-blue eyes and said:

"We want to use people from the upper society like Mo Lan Avigny to gradually control the Intis government, so that this country has both order and shadows, and a bridge connecting order and shadows."

"We respect the law, but it doesn't mean we won't look for loopholes in the law, won't use some means, so that things can be resolved before entering the legal process."

"This is our philosophy."

At this moment, Yebus seemed to be preaching to the two Witches.

So ambitious... Jianna sighed secretly.

Lu Mi asked with a smile:

"What is controlling the government for?"

"To practice truth, to get close to truth, this is also a ritual to please truth." Yebus answered somewhat fanatically, "In addition, we also want to use the power of the Intis government, use the power of other governments, to find three things."

"Which three things?" Fu Lan Ka asked curiously.

Yebus was very happy to answer her question:

"First is the clue to the Fallen Heaven, it is in that ancient city sealed underground. Only by controlling the Intis government can we possibly completely open the seal."

Fallen Heaven... What is this? Lu Mi, Fu Lan Ka, Jianna, and Anthony looked at each other, finding that no one had heard of this term.

Yebus continued:

"Second is Roselle's final mausoleum."

Emperor Roselle's mausoleum? Lu Mi's pupils dilated suddenly.

Fu Lan Ka couldn't wait to ask:

"Do you have any clues?"

"I don't know." Yebus shook his head honestly, "At least I don't have any clues about Roselle's mausoleum yet. As for whether several 'Supervisors' have collected any, I don't know."

"Supervisors"... Lu Mi and the others remembered this term.

Yebus looked at Fu Lan Ka, then at Jianna, and finally looked back at Fu Lan Ka:

"Third is a lamp, it's called 'Wish-Granting Lamp'."

"'Wish-Granting Lamp'?" Lu Mi looked at Fu Lan Ka, finding that this "Pleasure Witch" was also blank.

Yebus smiled and added in a boasting tone:

"'Wish-Granting Lamp' is a sealed artifact, the number is:"

"'0-05'!"
