Chapter 725: Secret of Immortality

After waiting for a period of time, Anthony Reid walked back to the quarry cave with the fixed entrance to the Mirror World, carrying the listless brownish-yellow giant dog.

He said to Lu Mi:

"You can lift the 'Livestock Creation Technique'."

Looking at the giant dog that no longer had a fierce and ruthless feeling, Lu Mi revealed a smile and recited the lifting incantation in Hermes:

"Monk!"

This ritual dog skin was made by himself, and the activation incantation set was the same as that of the parish priest Guillaume Bénet, but the lifting incantation had been changed.

Lu Mi originally wanted to use the name of Gehrman Sparrow, one of his two idols, as the lifting incantation, but considering that the other party was the redeeming angel of Mr. Fool, reciting his name in Hermes might have some strange influence and would feel blasphemous, so he gave up this option.

And because the first ritual skin he made was dog skin, he got inspiration from "The Monk Chasing the Dog" and used the word "Monk" as the lifting incantation.

A dim light lit up, and Mo Lan Avigny appeared, looking a bit disheveled.

He subconsciously pulled a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped the dried blood, tear stains, saliva, and nasal mucus on his face.

Lu Mi didn't step into the main topic directly, intending to start from less important questions to enhance his own "credibility" and let the effect of hypnosis reach its maximum.

He said half-mockingly and half-sighingly:

"I don't understand why you 'Mirror People' hate your real-world selves so much."

Mo Lan Avigny sneered:

"If you had been staying in a cold, dark, and closed mirror, you would also hate yourself for living in the sunshine, enjoying food and alcohol, and enjoying leisure and pleasure."

"But you aren't naturally produced; you come from accidents." Jianna almost said that you were originally monsters living in a special Mirror World.

Mo Lan Avigny laughed "Heh":

"What does this have to do with us being jealous and hateful?

"Accidents aren't caused by us. Since we were born and have been continuing our ethnic group, we have the right to pursue a better life."

Fu Lan Ka and Jianna were unable to refute this for a moment.

"You do have that right." Lu Mi said in the tone of a friend. "But it cannot be built on the murder and harm of the original owner. Why don't you cooperate with some regular organizations, such as the 'Fool' Church? After you escaped from the Fourth Epoch Trier, you could have completely stayed away from this city and this country and gone to other places to start a new life."

Mo Lan Avigny sneered:

"Do you think we can trust these organizations under the sun and cooperate with them?"

"Aren't you also cooperating with the 'Truth Sect'?" Lu Mi poked through Mo Lan Avigny's lie.

Mo Lan Avigny was silent for a few seconds and said:

"We have our own mission; we want to let the truth of this world return."

"Truth?" Lu Mi provoked on purpose. "How can there be truth in a mirror? You 'Mirror People' are also just approaching the truth, and you will turn back into mirror fragments some time after you die."

After provoking, Lu Mi's eyes were stained with silver-black to observe Mo Lan Avigny's fate tributaries, preventing him from making answers that would bring him life-threatening danger.

After simple observation and confirming that his questions wouldn't bring too much risk, Lu Mi terminated the "Eye of Misfortune" to save spirituality.

Mo Lan Avigny revealed a meaningful smile:

"No, in a sense, the ones in the mirror are the real ones.

"Once we complete our mission, we will completely return to the truth!"

"Why do you say that?" Fu Lan Ka was very curious about where Mo Lan Avigny's confidence came from.

Mo Lan Avigny's gaze swept over the two Demonesses, and in the "sage time," he chuckled and said:

"The most fundamental reason is something even I cannot understand; I can only tell you that this is related to the 'Chaos Demoness' we believe in deep in the Mirror World. She is the true 'Primordial Witch'!

"In addition, I can give an example:

"After becoming a 'Witch' and coming into contact with 'Mirror Magic,' the truest self of every Demoness is inside the mirror."

Seeing that Fu Lan Ka and Jianna both revealed expressions of disbelief, Mo Lan Avigny, who had a strong desire to confide, smiled and asked a question:

"Do you know what Sequence 3 of the 'Demoness' pathway is called?"

"Don't know." Fu Lan Ka and Jianna shook their heads at the same time.

Mo Lan Avigny nodded lightly and said:

"It's called 'Unaging Demoness,' youthful forever, good at resurrection and rebirth.

"Why are they very hard to kill, and can they resurrect and be reborn? That's because what is killed is only their appearance; their true selves have always been inside the mirror, imprisoned and sealed inside the mirror by themselves!

"If their false selves die, they can quickly resurrect relying on the projection of their true selves in the mirror!

"You say, how can the true self, who is imprisoned, sealed, and used as a source of resurrection by the false person, not hate the falsehood in reality, and how can it not want to escape from the mirror and take back what it should possess?"

Hearing this, Fu Lan Ka suddenly remembered the scene when she first entered the special Mirror World:

At that time, she met the original owner of the body, herself before taking the "Witch" potion, that man with thick brown eyebrows and flaxen short hair, and the other party was covered in blood, his eyes full of viciousness and hatred.

Could it be that after taking the "Witch" potion and becoming a woman, the original male self didn't disappear but was banished into the mirror and couldn't come out again? Fu Lan Ka was both shocked and suspicious.

Jianna also remembered some past events:

In the process of becoming a "Witch," she also saw another self in a hallucination, a vicious, mirror-like self. At that time, both sides fell into black flames, and she climbed out with all her strength, returned to the ice layer above the black flames, and completed the advancement, while the vicious self was dragged into the "Abyss" that couldn't see the bottom by black shadows like pythons.

Could that symbolize the splitting of the self?

Is a part of "me" currently suffering in the mirror?

Lu Mi saw that both Demoness companions had fallen into a state of shock and confusion, so he smiled and said to Mo Lan Avigny:

"It's not necessarily imprisoning the self; it could also be that in the process of becoming a 'Witch,' a deep-level connection was established with the self in the mirror, so they can use them to master 'Mirror Magic,' and when they reach a certain level, they can also use this to resurrect."

"The self in the mirror is bloody, vicious, hateful, and ferocious because they were originally like that, originally jealous of their real-world selves, just like you 'Mirror People' from special worlds."

In the situation where the truth couldn't be figured out for the time being, Lu Mi tended not to struggle with himself and tried his best to push the responsibility to others.

Moreover, Mo Lan Avigny, as a "Mirror Person," naturally had a tendency in his position. Words spoken from his mouth had to be screened before being accepted, and one often had to change angles to analyze them.

After listening to Lu Mi's words, Fu Lan Ka and Jianna's expressions eased, while Mo Lan Avigny said mockingly:

"Self-deception cannot cover up the existence of the truth."

Lu Mi saw that the early groundwork was almost done and decided to pull the topic onto the right track now.

Originally, their purpose was related to "Mirror People," but now, Lu Mi believed that the matter on the "Truth Sect" side was more important and urgent and needed to be asked first.

His eyes turned silver-black again, and he looked at Mo Lan Avigny:

"Have you signed a contract with that 'Supervisor' from the 'Truth Sect'?"

"Of course I signed it; otherwise, how could we cooperate? We all value contracts very much." Mo Lan Avigny answered quite proudly.

Lu Mi laughed:

"He didn't secretly modify the terms the moment you signed the contract, did he?"

"No, I pay great attention to this aspect of the problem. You know, I am a 'Judge' in the mystical sense." Mo Lan Avigny said with great confidence.

Lu Mi asked further:

"Then have you met that 'Supervisor'?"

Mo Lan Avigny shook his head:

"The contract was signed by him first and then sent over by his subordinates; we haven't actually met."

"What has that 'Supervisor' been doing recently?" Lu Mi cautiously pushed the question forward.

Mo Lan Avigny laughed:

"I am just one link in his huge black box and huge black net. Through trading, I help complete some things, but I don't know what those things specifically point to, or the purpose behind them.

"Hmm, once, he said that he wanted to use people like me to weave into an invisible, huge vortex, a vortex that could put one's strongest desires into it and get results.

"A few days ago, he mentioned by chance that the vortex was about to take shape."

The vortex is about to take shape... Lu Mi continued to watch the changes in Mo Lan Avigny's fate tributaries and thought while asking:

"How do you and that 'Supervisor' usually contact each other?

"Is there any special, backup method in an emergency?"

This was a matter that had to be figured out as soon as possible—Mo Lan Avigny, as the Minister of Industry of Intis, was suddenly attacked and mysteriously disappeared, which was a major news story. The news would spread before long, and at that time, that "Supervisor" would definitely hear about it and would inevitably cut off the original contact channel.

…………

In that villa of Mo Lan Avigny.

As the captain of the mobile "Punisher" squad directly under the Trier diocese, Angoulême de François, who had been prepared for a long time, arrived at the scene for the first time.

After listening to the account of the "Punishers" at the scene and surveying the scene, Angoulême frowned:

"People from the 'Aurora Order'?"

Not "Sleeve Sword" and the others?

What are they doing!

After a little thought, Angoulême gave the order:

"First, block the news of Mo Lan Avigny's accident, so as not to alarm the people and forces hidden behind this anomaly. We might still have a chance to find clues and track it down."

This was his experience and also the processing procedure that the "Punishers" had long been accustomed to.
