Chapter 805: Transmitting information (Asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

~11 min read 2,144 words

Lu Mian had had similar experiences, and more than once.

Every time Franca prayed to that "Primordial Witch" statue that looked like it was made of white bone, he would occasionally be nearby. Even separated by the bedroom door and wall, and the "Wall of Spirituality," he would inevitably feel a bit restless.

"Is this Zhu Li praying to the statue of the 'Primordial Witch'?" Although Lu Mian still had his eyes closed, he had corresponding guesses about the current situation.

This is not necessarily that the other party is particularly devout; this belongs to the fixed daily task of the Witch Sect. Even believers of Mr. "Fool" like Franca have to do it on time.

Not long after, the ambiguous factors flowing in the air gradually dissipated, and Lu Mian's state returned to normal.

Suddenly, he thought of one thing:

Where did Zhu Li get the "Primordial Witch" statue?

During the process of being exiled to Morora, Lu Mian noticed that Lies, Zhu Li, and others should not have carried personal items. That is to say, except for himself who was not searched and had special treatment, other exiles were processed according to normal procedures.

Therefore, Zhu Li should not have the standard statue distributed by the Witch Sect. Even if she wanted to make one herself, she would have to buy materials and set up a ritual to proceed. And the result of Lu Mian's tracking today is that she has not yet made preparations in this regard.

"Then, where did her 'Primordial Witch' statue come from? Or, did she directly recite the honorific name of the 'Primordial Witch' in a language that can leverage natural forces? But in that case, the influence of the overflowing power on me is too weak. Even if it is not as good as the result of the divine power residue from Franca's time, it shouldn't just be some restlessness..." Lu Mian became unusually clear-headed.

He soon had a speculation:

Celeste has been here!

It was this "Witch" who had become an experimental subject who gave Zhu Li the statue of the "Primordial Witch," or a similar item!

"Why didn't I notice it?

"I have been monitoring the movements in Zhu Li's room..."

Thinking of this, Lu Mian sat up abruptly and cast his gaze toward the full-length mirror in the bedroom.

Yes!

Celeste is very likely to have come through the mirror world!

She also completed the exchange with Zhu Li in the mirror, so I didn't notice any abnormality at all until Zhu Li started praying!

It is normal for the Witch Sect to have items similar to "mirror buckles"!

Lu Mian rolled out of bed silently and walked to the full-length mirror in his room.

He felt it was time to use the "mirror buckle."

He put on the cufflink that looked like it was made of glass and pressed his hand on the glass mirror surface.

That buckle-like ornament suddenly lit up with a faint light, and Lu Mian's figure penetrated the mirror surface and arrived at the deep, dark mirror world.

In front of those dark, void tunnels that were as dense as spider webs, Lu Mian could clearly sense the three mirror imprints he left in the outside world and the several mirror imprints he had laid out in advance in the rooms of Zhu Li, Lies, and others.

He didn't rush to travel to the back of the mirror in Zhu Li's room, but instead reached into the "Traveler's Bag" and took out a letter that hadn't been finished yet.

This is a letter to Franca, Jenna, and Anthony.

Lu Mian immediately activated the black imprint on his right shoulder, attempting to "transmit" to the full-length mirror in the apartment of Franca and Jenna.

It felt as if it were unreachable, and it also seemed like there was an invisible barrier. And even after penetrating the barrier, there was still a deep, boundless, dead, and hollow darkness. Lu Mian intuitively believed that indescribable danger and terror were hidden within it.

"Does this represent that special mirror world?

"To escape from Morora and return to the outside world, one must pass through it?

"Even angels would find it dangerous, right..."

As Lu Mian's thoughts were racing, he had to extend his right hand holding the letter, and with the help of the already activated "mirror buckle" power, let the paper be stained with the color of the glass reflection light, and it flew out.

This stream of light stuck to the surface of the invisible barrier, just like information from the three mirror imprints outside could be transmitted in, slowly permeated out, and fell into that dead darkness, falling toward the target mirror located far away.

"It works..." Lu Mian breathed a sigh of relief and, relying on the contract ability of "Spirit World Travel," turned to the mirror in Zhu Li's room.

The mirror was pitch black, with no traces left.

Lu Mian sniffed and smelled a bit of fragrance that had not completely dissipated.

That seemed to come from some kind of hormone in humans, and was also added with the influence of occult power. It was sweet in the faintness, ambiguous and warm.

"Not Zhu Li's body odor..." Lu Mian nodded imperceptibly, "Celeste has indeed been here."

The problem now is whether the item Celeste used to travel through the mirror world to reach Zhu Li's room was brought in secretly by deceiving the Knowledge Church's search, or was sent in with the help of a ritual by utilizing the special nature of the mirror world that can communicate inside and outside.

"Or, was it obtained by setting up a ritual and praying to the 'Primordial Witch'? Or, is she actually no longer the original Celeste, but the corresponding special 'mirror person'? This can explain why she can maintain a certain self after becoming an experimental subject, but it is not the only explanation..." Lu Mian is already an old hand at handling occult events and masters many secrets, so he naturally associated it with those special "mirror people."

He did not peek at Zhu Li's current situation through the mirror in front, fearing that Celeste had given this "Witch" some items related to the mirror world, making her more sensitive to gazes from the mirror.

Moreover, Zhu Li had just finished praying, and the peculiarity brought by the "Primordial Witch" statue still had some residue. Lu Mian had no way of knowing whether this would have any impact on his peeping.

Of course, he could also roughly guess what Zhu Li was doing.

Because he heard the fine, suppressed moans of Zhu Li through the mirror.

"Lovers reunited, things obtained, it is indeed possible to relax a bit and celebrate." Lu Mian nodded and smiled silently, "Well, there is also the restlessness brought by praying to the 'Primordial Witch' statue. It is already quite restrained that she didn't go out to add collectibles."

Lu Mian "transmitted" back to the full-length mirror in his room, walked out of the glass mirror surface, and lay back on the bed.

…………

Trier.

"Empty, lonely, cold..." Franca, who had developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, sighed and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She felt she needed to adapt for a few more days.

At this time, she sensed something, sat up, walked out of the room, and came to the living room.

She cast her gaze toward the full-length mirror in the living room and saw the glass surface reveal a water-like light, reflecting a neatly folded letter paper.

"Lu Mian's, or the 'Black Witch's'?" Franca walked over and pressed her hand toward the glass mirror surface.

Her right hand felt slightly cold, as if penetrating a lake mixed with ice cubes, touching the paper that had become illusory and no longer had a sense of reality.

The paper quickly "spread out," turning into lines of Intis words, presented on the surface of the full-length mirror:

"I have arrived in Morora..."

Lu Mian talked roughly about his experience and the results of the experiment, but did not mention the specific situation in Morora.

This is a form of pollution!

Pollution that Franca and others might not be able to withstand!

At the end of the letter, Lu Mian exhorted:

"I have told my messenger and Lady 'Hela' in advance that if someone writes to me but cannot find me, they should forward it to you, and you will handle it entirely. Yes, that's right, you, Franca. Now you temporarily have a messenger."

Damn, you still want to mock me at the end! Franca cursed angrily and amusedly, grinding her teeth.

She thought for a while and began to write a reply:

"There is nothing else to say, just remind you of one point:

"The 'Black Witch' told me that 'Witches' with colors as titles occasionally receive oracles from the Primordial and have very strong autonomy. They are like this. Will the 'Pain Witches' sent to Morora to execute important missions also be like this, also able to receive oracles from the Primordial, and even be able to obtain a bit of divine power blessing directly through the statue?

"You must take this aspect seriously. Also, it is time to test your 'Ascetic' endurance. If you are charmed by them and lose your male symbol, even if you can grow it back every morning, I will mock you for a lifetime."

After writing, Franca folded the paper and took out a rectangular amulet that was crystal clear and looked like it was cast from cold ice from the "Traveler's Bag."

This amulet was completely transparent, and patterns and designs like bubbles seemed to be flowing and gathering inside.

It is the "Ice Amulet" given to Franca by the "Black Witch," which can complete seven travels through the mirror. If it is just to transmit information through it, the number is fourteen times.

Franca put on this amulet, took the written letter, and walked back to the full-length mirror.

With a flash of crystal cold light, she pressed the letter into the glass mirror surface, letting it fall toward the place where the message was just transmitted.

…………

Morora.

Lu Mian finished reading the content of the letter appearing on the mirror surface and lay back on the bed again.

He looked forward to the possible accident.

That is, Wanake, the boss of the "Dades Agricultural Company," taking advantage of the night to come and kill him.

This most dangerous criminal in Morora should be able to find out who the exile who confronted him in the afternoon was before long. He must already know that Lu Mian killed the boss of the "Carnivore" tavern and took over this place.

And with the attitude he showed at that time, he couldn't wait to kill Lu Mian on the spot. Since he had found out the target and locked onto his whereabouts, he would inevitably take action as soon as possible.

Lu Mian did not sleep all night, just feigned sleep. Besides monitoring Zhu Li's movements, this was also one of the main reasons.

Now, he hoped Wanake would come sooner. At that time, he would "transmit" and escape, leaving Zhu Li, this "Witch," to the other party, letting them have a fierce duel. That way, he could peek at what trump cards Zhu Li had, what items she got from Celeste, and whether Wanake could further borrow the power of "0-01."

What made Lu Mian feel a pity was that Wanake did not appear all night.

"Is it necessary to be so cautious? You still have to go around in circles, just come directly..." Lu Mian muttered, rolled out of bed, and walked along the stairs to the hall.

The cook Lies had already gotten up and was using the ingredients in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"We can resume business at noon today." Lies glanced at Lu Mian and said, "But we haven't stocked up on beef, mutton, and pork."

"I will give you a start-up fund." Lu Mian was about to turn and leave the kitchen when he suddenly heard the sound of Zhu Li walking down the stairs slowly.

His heart moved, and he said to Lies as if inadvertently:

"By the way, I will tell you a few people you need to be careful of. Don't provoke them.

"One is Wanake, the boss of the 'Dades Agricultural Company'..."

Lu Mian relayed all of Gucin's introduction to Lies, and finally said:

"There is another one, called Albus Medici..."

Just after saying this name, Lu Mian heard Zhu Li's footsteps pause briefly.
