Chapter 914: Tracking

Lu Mian looked at the gray and dim mirror fragments on the ground and relied on his spiritual perception for a few seconds before saying:

"Something went wrong with the divine envoy's corpse, but I don't know why it went wrong."

Franca asked uncertainly:

"Now that the mirror is broken, has the divine envoy's corpse fallen into the depths of the mirror world, lost in the turbulence there?"

Every mirror has a corresponding area behind it, and they are connected by illusory and gloomy tunnels, forming the mirror world.

Once any mirror shatters, the corresponding area behind it will immediately disintegrate. If the objects placed there fail to use the spiderweb-like tunnels to escape in time, they will be swallowed by the turbulence of the mirror world and dragged into the depths. The environment and hidden dangers there are fatal to Beyonders without a complete mythical creature form.

—If a mirror shatters, it essentially forms more but smaller mirrors. But from a mystical concept, it has been destroyed as a whole, and the symbols and functions it originally bore will be completely lost. The new mirrors produced as a result need a certain amount of time to evolve their own areas behind them, connect to the vast mirror world, and become mirrors with complete concepts in mysticism.

That is to say, for a period of time, these mirror fragments cannot be used to reflect enemies, transmit curses, or be used to travel through the mirror world. This does not affect "Revenants" relying on them to complete mirror jumps.

Of course, Lu Mian just used "Destructive Flames" to destroy the mirror, and the fragments formed were also completely destroyed in a mystical sense. It is impossible for them to evolve into areas behind them again, which means that any potential enemies cannot complete positioning and cannot lock onto the specific location of Lu Mian and the others.

Lu Mian deliberated and said:

"The divine envoy's corpse was indeed taken away by the spatial turbulence of the mirror world. Even for an angel, it is very difficult to go deep into the mirror world to find it and bring it out, unless it is an angel of the 'Door' pathway like Ms. 'Magician' or a 'Witch' angel who deeply masters the mirror world.

"But this doesn't mean the divine envoy's corpse will always drift in the depths of the mirror world until it is completely torn apart and annihilated by the dangers there. It has a probability of being thrown out of the mirror world by spatial turbulence after a period of time and coming out from a random mirror."

"Mr. 'Fool's' dream world is mainly this city. If the divine envoy's corpse comes out of a mirror, do we have a way to find it and confirm what went wrong with it?" Jenna understood what Lu Mian wanted to express.

Lu Mian revealed a smile:

"Yes.

"Let's wait patiently for a while, wait for our spiritual intuition to give us a reminder."

The corpse of the divine envoy Danitz was hidden by him, and it has a close mystical connection with him.

Franca nodded, took out her mobile phone, and browsed the hot searches, occasionally laughing out loud and sharing the joy with Lu Mian, Jenna, and Anthony, and occasionally discussing with them whether a certain news item had symbolic significance in the dream and whether it was related to Mr. 'Fool's' current state.

After Ludwig finished his sixth bowl of noodles and was also looking at his phone, Lu Mian, who was occasionally showing a smile, raised his head and said in a deep voice:

"The divine envoy's corpse should have left the mirror world."

"Mm, hurry up and use 'Mirror Divination' to confirm the specific location." Franca took out a mirror.

Lu Mian shook his head and laughed in a low voice:

"No need for such trouble."

He cast his gaze toward Ludwig.

Ludwig put his right hand into his mouth and dug a few times, vomiting out a small ball of scorched yellow hair.

"Using the divine envoy's hair with hair follicles can directly determine the location." Lu Mian introduced.

"When did you get a ball of hair from the corpse and hide it in Ludwig's stomach?" Franca asked in astonishment.

Lu Mian answered with a smile:

"Last night, when Anthony was on night watch.

"The divine envoy died so suddenly and so weirdly, of course I had to guard against his corpse mutating. And hiding some of the corpse's hair in Ludwig's body can counter divination and counter prophecy."

Speaking of this, Lu Mian took that small ball of slightly damp, scorched yellow hair and stood up, saying:

"Let's go."

Almost at the same time, he burned part of the hair and smeared the residue onto the surface of a mirror.

As the residue seeped in, the mirror emerged with gloomy water light, reflecting a scene:

There were walls stained with oil, a very spacious space, a floor covered with dust and rat droppings, and quite dirty large glass windows. The corpse of the divine envoy Danitz was lying on the ground in front of a piece of glass.

"Looks like an abandoned factory building, and the machines have been moved away..." Franca took a look and said.

"In the suburbs, less than ten kilometers away from us." Lu Mian added more information.

"'Teleport' there?" Jenna asked.

Lu Mian could rely on "Mirror Travel" to go directly to another mirror within ten kilometers of himself that he had positioned. And he had now locked onto that glass window that threw out the divine envoy's corpse—even without positioning, he could sense mirrors within five hundred meters and jump over them section by section.

In addition, his "Teleport" could still be used, but it was restricted to within one kilometer for natural positioning, and beyond one kilometer required having been there or having correct positioning, with the furthest being the edge of the dream world.

Lu Mian nodded gently, let his teammates grab him, and took them into the mirror that Franca had placed on the table.

Passing through a gloomy and illusory tunnel, they suddenly fell toward the depths of the mirror world, toward that glass window that had positioning.

Amidst a bout of dizziness for Anthony, the figures of the five people appeared simultaneously on the dirty glass of the abandoned factory building.

Lu Mian didn't stop, quickly sensing other mirrors within a five-hundred-meter range, and jumped over.

They appeared on the top floor of the office building on the side of the abandoned factory, left the glass window acting as a mirror, hid themselves, and gazed toward the target location.

From this angle, they could just see the corpse of the divine envoy Danitz.

"Don't bite, just hold it." Lu Mian handed a lollipop to Ludwig, letting him be well-behaved.

Franca and Jenna were already carefully examining the divine envoy's corpse, discovering that because it had been hidden in the mirror world, it hadn't shown signs of decay yet. But whether it was the bloodless face, the eyes frozen in fear, or other details, all indicated that the divine envoy had been dead for more than ten hours.

"Nothing abnormal..." Franca muttered silently.

Lu Mian remained motionless, patiently observing.

After nearly five minutes, in their line of sight, the divine envoy's corpse's fingers suddenly moved.

Damn, wonderful, resurrection from the dead? While Franca was startled, she instinctively "praised" in her heart.

The corpse of the divine envoy Danitz first moved its fingers, then its arms were also raised.

Finally, it stood up slowly, its expression wooden, and its deep blue eyes no longer had any emotions overflowing.

Did it really mutate? Goosebumps rose on Jenna's arms.

The resurrected Danitz corpse walked toward the outside of the abandoned factory, at a speed neither fast nor slow.

It walked out of the deserted factory area, walked toward the roadside, and stood there blankly.

Not long after, an empty green taxi passed by, and Danitz's corpse raised its right arm and waved.

When the taxi stopped in front of him, he slowly opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Franca rubbed her cheeks with both hands:

"How does it feel more thrilling than the real world...

"Is the 'Death' pathway manipulating the corpse?"

Lu Mian didn't immediately take his teammates to track that taxi because the mirror embedded with the residue of Danitz's hair was still showing the current state of the divine envoy's corpse.

Franca and Jenna tried "Mirror Divination," wanting to determine what was going on with the resurrection of the divine envoy's corpse.

"No, those existences who know quite a bit and are relatively safe didn't respond. They aren't in Mr. 'Fool's' dream!" Franca discovered that she could currently only do the simplified version, which was to ask her own spirituality's "Mirror Divination."

Jenna confirmed her discovery:

"Right, my 'Mirror Divination' also failed."

Lu Mian thought for a moment and said:

"In Mr. 'Fool's' dream world, the objects of 'Mirror Divination' inquiry, besides one's own spirituality, should only be those true gods who can project directly. But it must be guaranteed that when divining, the corresponding projection happens to exist, and the recited honorific name is not wrong.

"Asking other creatures in the local spirit world might be equivalent to asking Mr. 'Fool' or that Celestial Worthy, which might get the best revelation, or might be kicked out of the dream directly. Hmm, we also haven't mastered the correct descriptions of those creatures."

"How dare we ask a true god..." Franca said in a low voice.

Lu Mian suddenly laughed:

"Then there is one more choice, the one with the most accurate divination result. The Major Arcana card holders mentioned in the files that it belongs to a magic mirror of Mr. 'Fool'."

"It hasn't reached that point yet..." Franca was quite resistant.

Lu Mian said "Mm," his gaze always on the mirror showing the divine envoy's corpse's situation.

After more than twenty minutes, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a hospital with excellent greenery and a very well-designed building.

Lu Mian and the others saw the hospital's sign at a glance:

"Mushu Hospital."

"Mushu Hospital... Is the divine envoy's death related to the 'Mother Tree of Desire'?" Franca whispered suspiciously.

Lu Mian didn't answer her, watching the resurrected corpse of the divine envoy Danitz take out a mobile phone with multiple missed calls from his pocket, scan the code to pay the fare, and walk slowly toward the outpatient building of Mushu Hospital.

Just as this corpse passed through the gate, Lu Mian's mirror rippled with water, emitting bursts of gloom, and soon returned to normal, no longer showing the divine envoy's current location.

"I want to 'Teleport' near Mushu Hospital, follow in and see where the divine envoy's corpse will go." Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and said.

Franca complained in a low voice:

"Shouldn't a corpse go to the morgue?"

Jenna said to Lu Mian:

"You'd better switch your image before going in. It should be relatively easy to be exposed inside Mushu Hospital. You can't affect your current identity. Hmm, relying only on 'Lie' might not be enough."

Lu Mian pondered slightly and didn't waste any more time:

"Okay."

At the same time as he answered, his black hair began to grow longer.
