Chapter 918: True and False

After the resurrected female corpse retreated into the gloomy tunnel, Franca, whose figure had just been outlined, had her first reaction to take advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't completely left this mirror world, and use the "Ice Amulet" remade by Lu Mian to take Jenna and Anthony to chase after her.

Her hand grasped the crystalline charm that had long been taken out of the "Traveler's Bag," but her spiritual intuition made her pause.

The destination of the resurrected female corpse's "Mirror Travel" was unknown. Perhaps there was an accomplice waiting for her. Rushing to chase after her rashly would very likely lead to falling into a trap!

Moreover, such a chase meant separating from Lu Mian, making it easy to be defeated one by one.

Franca gazed for two seconds and immediately said to Jenna, Anthony, and Ludwig, who was still eating "air" in large mouthfuls:

"Leave here, go to the surveillance room!"

The resurrected female corpse didn't know how long she had hidden at the edge of the tunnel, or how many mystical pathogens she had manufactured. Staying in this area would lead to becoming more and more infected until falling ill!

And relying solely on Ludwig eating mouthful by mouthful, God knows how long it would take to clear the mystical pathogens that could still constantly multiply. More importantly, this sealed angel's physical condition had also been lowered to the Sequence 7 level. The mystical pathogens eaten into his stomach couldn't affect him, but the mystical pathogens invading his skin, eyes, and respiratory tract would absolutely infect him.

By then, it would depend on whether Ludwig finished eating the mystical pathogens first, or the mystical pathogens defeated him.

In addition, the "Witch" black flames of Franca and Jenna were also restricted by the dream, and could only be manufactured in clusters, unable to burn the mystical pathogens in the surrounding area in a drowning posture to create a sufficiently safe environment.

However, the dream's restrictions had both disadvantages and advantages. The resurrected female corpse's "Plague" ability was also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level, so Franca and the others wouldn't be infected so quickly or fall ill so quickly.

Jenna and Anthony didn't question Franca's decision, only Ludwig was reluctant.

Even if I get sick, I still want to eat!

Even if I die, I still want to eat!

Jenna grabbed the little boy and forcibly dragged him out of the area behind the mirror, despite his physical fitness being fully lowered to the Sequence 7 level.

At such an urgent moment, Jenna actually felt another digestion of the "Suffering" potion.

"Let go of me! Let go..." Ludwig hadn't finished his sentence when he had already passed through the mirror surface and arrived at the surveillance room.

But they didn't see Lu Mian.

"Was Lu Mian also attacked?" Franca's expression was condensed as she quickly looked around.

Or, did he chase after some enemy?

As soon as Franca finished speaking, she saw that on the large screen, every surveillance picture had changed.

They re-emerged with the scenes from noon where the resurrected female corpse appeared.

In those scenes arranged in a crisscross matrix, the resurrected female corpses that originally belonged to the surveillance footage either raised their heads or half-turned their bodies, looking toward the outside of the screen in unison.

Those wearing white dresses, with loose buns, instantly had the same expression changes. Their white, delicate palms stretched toward the camera one after another, stretching out of the surveillance screen, reaching toward Franca, Jenna, and the others outside.

They climbed out of the screen one after another, their faces gloomy, light flickering from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Franca, relying only on spiritual intuition and the vision of a "Witch," couldn't distinguish for a short time which of these many resurrected female corpses were real and which were fake.

For a moment, she even doubted if they were all real, or all fake.

She took out the "Cannon of Artillery" that had become the "Spear of Inevitability," aimed at the surveillance screen, and planned to shatter the screen, letting the resurrected female corpses that hadn't fully climbed out be thrown into the depths of the "surveillance world" along with the destruction of the area behind the screen, making it difficult to reach reality.

Franca's finger was on the trigger, but she didn't pull it.

She felt that Lu Mian's disappearance might be because he entered the "surveillance world." If she shattered the screen, and the "surveillance world" really had part of the characteristics of the mirror world, Lu Mian would also be swallowed by the turbulence, which was very dangerous.

Franca hadn't made a timely response, but she had companions.

Anthony stepped forward, his eyes standing up, dyed with a pale gold color.

He then exuded a terrifying aura as if standing at the top of the food chain.

"Intimidation"!

He used a range-based "Intimidation" targeting that surveillance screen!

The resurrected female corpses that had climbed out of the surveillance screen one after another froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

They seemed not to have been resurrected; they were still corpses, so naturally, they wouldn't be afraid or panicked because of intimidation!

Jenna seized the time to turn her head, pointed at those resurrected female corpses, and asked Ludwig:

"Which one is the most delicious?"

The most delicious one should be the main body!

And judging which is delicious is Ludwig's specialty!

Ludwig swallowed his saliva and pointed to the surveillance picture in the lower right corner:

"I want that one!

"That one is the most delicious!"

Before Ludwig could answer, Franca had already hidden her figure. Waiting until he pointed out the food she wanted most, Franca, wearing a black T-shirt and women's wide-leg pants, quickly outlined her figure on the side of the resurrected female corpse in the lower right corner.

She held the "Spear of Inevitability" in one hand and the "Cold Blade" that was transparent to the point of being almost invisible in the other, stabbing the latter toward the target that hadn't fully climbed out of the screen, stabbing toward the temple next to the exquisite ear.

Crack, that resurrected female corpse shattered like a mirror, and the figures of the other female corpses became illusory and disappeared from in front of the surveillance screen simultaneously.

The next second, beside the mirror decoration that Franca and the others had come out of, the resurrected female corpse, with a bright appearance, slender neck, wearing a white dress, and a loose bun, appeared silently.

She was holding a dagger condensed from ice crystals and covered with "Witch" black flames, stabbing fiercely toward Anthony's back.

…………

After Lu Mian passed through the surveillance screen, he appeared in the dark and silent unmanned mall.

At this time, the escalator had stopped running, and all the shops had pulled down their rolling shutters.

Lu Mian swept around quickly and saw a figure wearing a white dress flash past the aisle leading to the men's and women's restrooms.

The black mark on Lu Mian's right shoulder lit up, letting him "Teleport" directly over.

His figure had just been outlined at the entrance of the aisle, and his left palm had already taken out his mobile phone.

Lu Mian quickly glanced at the mobile phone screen that had already lit up and found there was no signal.

This was exactly what he wanted to confirm.

"Is this an otherworldly space, an illusory world formed by surveillance footage? It's very similar to the mirror world, and also very similar to the world inside a painting..." As thoughts flashed, Lu Mian stuffed his mobile phone into the "Traveler's Bag" instead of his pants pocket.

He was worried that the mobile phone might be damaged in the upcoming battle.

For a family that wasn't rich, this was a major loss!

In Lu Mian's blue eyes, that female figure wearing a white dress had already run to the corner.

Seeing is believing. Almost at the same time, Lu Mian "flashed" behind the target and stabbed with the straight sword condensed from frost.

The ice sword had just touched the female figure when the other party suddenly swayed like water ripples and disappeared without a trace.

An illusion, this was just an illusion.

An illusion manufactured using the mirror of the washbasin outside the men's and women's restrooms!

At this time, in the gloomy corner at the entrance of the men's restroom, a blurry figure quickly emerged, holding a medium-sized mirror in her hand, reflecting Lu Mian's male image wearing a shirt and trousers.

Taking advantage of Lu Mian's attention being completely focused on the illusion, this blurry figure pressed her palm covered with "Witch" black flames toward the mirror surface.

Lu Mian's eyes, nose, mouth, and other places suddenly erupted with evil black flames, but his figure virtualized inch by inch, gradually dissipating.

This was also an illusion!

In the gloomy corner at the entrance of the restroom, behind that blurry figure, Lu Mian's body was outlined, his eyes iron-black, his right fist clenched, and in a posture of muscle expansion and enlargement, he slammed toward the junction of the enemy's neck and back.

"Harvest" plus "Full-Force Strike"!

You can use mirrors to manufacture illusions, so can I!

Bang!

This punch shattered the blurry figure, scattering it in the form of glass fragments in all directions.

Immediately after, Lu Mian felt invisible spiderwebs winding up from all directions, trying to bind his hands, feet, and torso, and intending to interfere with his movements in different ways.

Lu Mian immediately "hummed," and clusters of pitch-black flames restraining madness and danger jumped out of thin air, falling onto several invisible spiderwebs.

The "Destructive Flames," just like real "Hunter" flames, ignited those spiderwebs instantly, then spread rapidly, swallowing all flammable materials around, and burning the mystical pathogens permeating the air.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Mian got rid of the influence of the "Witch" spiderwebs and the hidden "Plague."

And at the entrance of this aisle, a female figure was clearly presented in the light of the burning spiderwebs.

She was wearing a white dress, with a loose bun, a bright appearance, exquisite ears, and a slender neck. It was none other than the resurrected female corpse.

…………

In the surveillance room.

After Franca's attack failed, Jenna and Anthony both changed their positions with rich experience.

The latter used this to dodge the ice crystal dagger assassination of the resurrected female corpse.

But this also caused the three of them to gather in a small range in the surveillance room, which wasn't very large.

The resurrected female corpse's gaze then turned toward the two security guards who were sitting motionless in their positions.

One of the security guards suddenly broke free from the statue-like state and stood up abruptly.

The next second, his body seemed to be injected with a large amount of gas, expanding rapidly into a ball.

In this process, the gray-white hidden in the depths of his pupils was dyed with yellow-green light.

Boom!

This security guard exploded like a balloon stretched to the limit. His flesh and internal organs were torn into fragments, carrying yellow-green pus, and swept toward every corner of the surveillance room under the wrapping of the shock storm, covering Franca, Jenna, and the others.

A virus bomb? Franca's pupils widened abruptly.

The resurrected female corpse was also within the range of the corpse explosion, but she had been prepared long ago and retreated a step, hiding into the mirror decoration.
