Chapter 727: Third Layer of the Mirror World

"Will never guess who it is?" Lu Mi and Fu Lan Ka sneered at the same time, putting on a posture that they were going to guess.

Of course, neither of them guessed directly, intending to first collect a certain amount of intelligence through side-way roundabout methods before guessing in a targeted manner.

Lu Mi watched the changes in Mo Lan Avigny's fate tributaries, understanding that this "Punishment Knight" had his own persistence and self-restrictions in the mystical sense and wouldn't take the initiative to reveal the situation of the "Mirror People," but he couldn't restrain his desire to confide and couldn't resist the influence of hypnosis, so he made a certain provocation with a sense of showing off.

"What you just said was that 'Mirror People' with powerful divinity cannot escape through certain disaster events with the help of leakage points, not 'Mirror People' who possess divinity." Lu Mi smiled and dismantled key words from Mo Lan Avigny's own statement. "In other words, there have been 'Mirror People' corresponding to Sequence 4 who have escaped, and your leader is at least a 'Mirror Person' corresponding to a Sequence 3 demigod?"

Mo Lan Avigny suddenly revealed an annoyed expression, regretting that he had spoken too detailedly just now, revealing key intelligence in his choice of words without knowing it.

Fu Lan Ka, encouraged by Lu Mi's performance, followed up with a smile:

"Where are the Sequence 4 'Mirror People' who escaped from your Mirror World now, and what are they doing?"

Mo Lan Avigny's lips moved, enduring very painfully, but still maintained silence.

As expected of a Sequence 5 "Punishment Knight," very good at resisting interrogation and communication... I don't know if destroying his frontal lobe would make him lose his last self-control... Lu Mi sighed twice and changed the topic to less important aspects:

"What are the prerequisites for the production of 'Mirror People'?

"Do people who have lived in real Trier for a long time have corresponding 'Mirror People,' or do they need to have come into contact with certain pollution underground?"

This was a guess based on the "Dream Festival" situation.

Phew... Mo Lan Avigny breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He had almost failed to control himself just now and said the most core and most important secrets.

The current question made him feel a certain degree of relaxation, and he answered very fluently:

"If there were no seal against the Fourth Epoch Trier, the Mirror World there would have a complete projection of the real Trier, including every person living in this city. But with the seal in place, only those who frequently enter and exit the underground and come into contact with specific pollution will leave a mark in our Mirror World.

"Besides this kind of situation, our ethnic group has other sources:

"One is the descendants of that false god; a corresponding 'Mirror Person' will appear at birth, regardless of where they are or whether they have been to Trier;

"Two is the bloodline of certain nobles in the Fourth Epoch Trier, for example, the descendants of the Tamara family. I was produced this way, and this is also not restricted by location and environment."

Lu Mi and the others all understood that the false god Mo Lan Avigny spoke of was "Primordial Witch" Cheek. As an evil god who controlled the Mirror World, her offspring being closely related to the special Mirror World was completely understandable.

"Why do the descendants of the Tamara family have a special relationship with your Mirror World? Did your ancestors suffer corresponding pollution in the 'War of the Four Emperors,' or a little earlier?" Lu Mi asked thoughtfully.

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

"A little earlier.

"As for what pollution was suffered and why there was such pollution, because the era is too distant, I don't know. The Tamara branches that persist in the 'Judgment' pathway and are not 'Mirror People' or the Tamara branches of the 'Door' pathway might preserve corresponding records."

"Door" pathway is another name for the "Apprentice" pathway.

Lu Mi nodded and helped Fu Lan Ka and Jianna ask:

"Your ethnic group doesn't include the 'Mirror People' of other Demonesses?"

"That is a 'Mirror Person,' but not from our world." Mo Lan Avigny answered with a smile. "Of course, if the conditions I mentioned earlier are met, in our Mirror World, there will also be corresponding Demoness 'Mirror People' born."

I see... Fu Lan Ka and Jianna nodded slightly, and Lu Mi changed the question:

"What are the 'Mirror People' who have left the underground doing?"

He asked this very broadly, without specifically referring to the "Mirror People" who possessed divinity. Mo Lan Avigny struggled for a while and gave an answer:

"Most of them have stayed in Trier, either using the identity of the original owner to improve their status in different industries and different organizations, or hiding in the shadows, secretly developing forces, preparing for the day when the seal of the Fourth Epoch Trier is completely opened and they can enter the third layer of the Mirror World, which is the deepest layer.

"The remaining part..."

Mo Lan Avigny paused, looked at Fu Lan Ka and Jianna, and smiled:

"Some have infiltrated the Demoness Sect, wanting to find out where that false god is hiding in reality, and some have gone to Loen, following the leader's instructions to find a certain item.

"Don't ask me if the 'Mirror People' in the Demoness Sect have made progress, and don't ask me what item the 'Mirror People' who went to Loen are looking for; these are not areas I am responsible for, and no one told me the details."

"I also want to find where the 'Primordial Witch' is hiding in reality. Why don't you tell me all the 'Mirror People' who have infiltrated the Demoness Sect? Maybe we can cooperate." Fu Lan Ka proposed the suggestion with a face full of smiles.

Mo Lan Avigny had an expression of "the more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying; I won't believe you" and said:

"I also don't know exactly which ones there are; only the leader can grasp all the information."

"Alright." Fu Lan Ka's eyes turned slightly. "What is the third layer of the Mirror World? Speaking of which, we have all been to the Fourth Epoch Trier and entered your special Mirror World, but what we saw and encountered were all the 'Mirror People' of those dead citizens of the Fourth Epoch Trier, the reflection of that ancient city. Where is your ethnic group?"

Mo Lan Avigny explained in detail:

"What you entered at that time should be the second layer of our Mirror World. It only presents itself when specific conditions are met, preserving the scene when the Fourth Epoch Trier was destroyed. It is quite dangerous and has many unknown secrets. And what we live in daily is the first layer of the Mirror World, the reflection of the current Trier."

"The first layer of the Mirror World shows the current Trier?" Jianna keenly noticed a contradictory point. "Didn't you say that you 'Mirror People' live in a dark, cold, and closed environment?"

The current Trier is a big metropolis!

Mo Lan Avigny sneered coldly:

"We seem to live in a big metropolis, but in fact, everyone is restricted, only able to wander back and forth along fixed tracks, forever wandering in those few rooms and those one or two streets. If there is no help from a powerhouse possessing divinity, we can't even communicate with each other, can only watch what our real selves are doing through the mirror, and the Mirror World has no projections of the sun, moon, and stars.

"You can imagine what kind of environment that is."

It's a bit like the survival state of the fake people in the painting world, but "Mirror People" have self-aware, clear cognition... No wonder they are painful... Lu Mi associated the fact that the first layer of the Mirror World had no projections of the sun, moon, and stars with a question and thought while asking:

"If a Sequence 4 'Unshadowed' of the 'Sun' pathway comes into contact with specific pollution underground, will a corresponding 'Mirror Person' be born?"

"No." Mo Lan Avigny answered very affirmatively.

Lu Mi used this to exclude some possibilities—some possibilities of the real identity of the leader of the "Mirror People."

"The 'Sun' pathway is really special; it deserves to be the pathway that controls purification." Fu Lan Ka sighed sincerely.

She then remembered that her question hadn't been answered, so she urged:

"What else is in the third layer of the Mirror World?"

Mo Lan Avigny shook his head again:

"No one has gone in. We just know the existence of this layer, know that our birth, our characteristics, and the source of our power all point to this layer, and that 'Chaos Demoness' we believe in and follow, which is the 'Primordial Witch,' is trapped there due to some reasons, guarding the truth."

Trapped there? I'm afraid it's sealed there... Guarding the truth, this phrasing is a bit interesting... Lu Mi pondered for a while and said:

"What exactly is the truth you speak of?"

"Truth is truth." Mo Lan Avigny's expression was a bit dazed, as if he hadn't seriously thought about this question yet.

Seeing that he didn't know the answer either, Jianna continued the topic of the relationship between "Mirror People" and reality.

She asked suspiciously:

"If the original owner in reality dies, what will happen to the 'Mirror Person'?

"What about the other way around?"

Mo Lan Avigny's mouth curled up, his face twisted and smiled:

"Normally, if the me in reality dies, I will also die.

"But if before that, the me in reality was sent to the Mirror World, then his death would have very little impact on me.

"The other way around is the same. If I am still in the Mirror World and am killed by an intruder, the me in reality will only get sick and be weak for a period of time. Afterward, if he doesn't come into contact with specific pollution underground again, there will no longer be a corresponding 'Mirror Person.'

"If I have escaped to the real world and am killed by someone, the me in reality will have no impact at all."

Fu Lan Ka let out a "hiss":

"So you didn't kill Mo Lan Avigny directly at the beginning, but found a way to drag him into the Mirror World?"

"Yes, I waited for him to 'enjoy' a period of darkness, cold, closure, and loneliness before killing him." Mo Lan Avigny revealed a smile.

Simply put, the one in the mirror will lose importance and won't affect the survival of the other, and this has nothing to do with whether he is a "Mirror Person" or a real person... If both are in the real world, the "Mirror Person" is naturally in a position of disadvantage... Lu Mi nodded slightly and, combined with what Mo Lan Avigny said just now, began to guess the identity of the leader of the "Mirror People":

Frequently enters and exits the underground of Trier, has come into contact with certain specific pollution;

Powerful divinity, at least Sequence 3;

Must be alive currently...

Thinking of this, Lu Mi couldn't further narrow the scope.

He used his "Conspirator" ability to put all relevant information into his thinking network:

The "Supervisor" of the "Truth Sect" held a ritual and had communicated with the leader of the "Mirror People";

The "Truth Sect" is looking for Emperor Roselle's last mausoleum;

They have had very important gains, and the vortex is about to take shape...

Suddenly, Lu Mi had a flash of inspiration, and there was an incredible guess in his mind.

He didn't dare to be sure of this guess because a certain premise didn't seem to hold.

He took two steps forward, leaned to Mo Lan Avigny's ear, and whispered a name.

Mo Lan Avigny's face changed drastically, both shocked and panicked.

Lu Mi withdrew his body and exhaled with a solemn expression.

"You guessed who the leader of the 'Mirror People' is?" Fu Lan Ka asked.

Lu Mi nodded lightly, looked around, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, I know who He is.

"He is Roselle Gustav in the mirror!"
