Chapter 921: Inevitable Death

~11 min read 2,046 words

The dark yellow bullet flew in an instant and hit the resurrected female corpse.

However, it passed through, only bringing about the swaying, virtualization, and disappearance of the figure.

After "Mirror Substitute" was deprived, the resurrected female corpse's first reaction was to use the mirror objects in the surveillance room to manufacture a mirror projection, and she herself quietly changed her position.

Therefore, the target Franca locked onto was only the mirror projection, and the "Inevitable Hit" would only be the mirror projection, not the real resurrected female corpse.

The resurrected female corpse, who had avoided the fatal blow, had her figure virtualized immediately and projected onto the nearest mirror object.

She wanted to temporarily leave the battlefield with the help of the mirror world, wait for the "Mirror Substitute" ability to recover, and then decide whether to wait for the next opportunity, or attack Franca and the others again now, or quietly follow them to determine their identities and residence, letting them be locked onto directly and kicked out of the dream.

The resurrected female corpse's figure had just emerged on the surface of the mirror-like object when there was suddenly one more person in the illusory and dark area behind the mirror.

It was Anthony, wearing a black T-shirt.

Anthony held a charm similar to the "Ice Amulet" in one hand and the "Winter is Coming" revolver in the other, aiming at the resurrected female corpse who was about to drill into the mirror surface.

He had timely used the "Mirror Travel" ability and came to intercept the resurrected female corpse!

Since Lu Mian could make charms himself to help Beyonders travel through the mirror world, he definitely wouldn't just make one and only give it to Franca.

Besides himself, everyone in the team had one, and each could be used four times!

The fact that they relied on Franca's "Ice Amulet" to transfer positions just now was, on one hand, because since everyone was very close, there was no need to waste the usage count of the remaining charms. It should be known that in the dream, Lu Mian was restricted to the Sequence 7 level, and remaking similar charms had a very high probability of failure. On the other hand, it was to uphold Lu Mian's "Conspirator" thinking and the "Show them you are incapable when you are capable" words that Franca occasionally nagged about after arriving in the dream, specifically digging a trap for the enemy.

They used the fact that they had to grab Lu Mian and Franca's clothes to hide in the mirror world and transfer positions to make the resurrected female corpse believe that the others couldn't complete "Mirror Travel." Thus, after dodging Franca's attack, the resurrected female corpse felt at ease using the mirror world to escape.

This ran straight into the muzzle of Anthony, who had previously forcibly hidden his own existence.

Anthony pulled the trigger with a flat expression.

Another bullet stained with dark yellow light flew out, meeting the resurrected female corpse who was about to enter this area behind the mirror.

"Inevitable Hit"!

Bang!

At the same time the gunshot rang out, the resurrected female corpse, who hadn't had time to retract her black flames, frost, and spiderwebs to protect herself, had blood bloom on her chest, and her flesh and bones split open.

She was really hit by the bullet and was knocked out of the mirror surface, falling back into the surveillance room.

Seeing this, Franca aimed at the target again.

Now, she wanted to use the "Inevitable Death" bullet.

And Jenna still guarded in front of the surveillance screen, not coveting credit, so as not to destroy the items that needed protection with stray bullets.

She only quietly extended invisible spiderwebs, wanting to stain the blood splashed by the resurrected female corpse, using it as a medium for curses.

Just at this moment, that resurrected female corpse suddenly raised her head and let out a painful scream.

Her hair rose root by root, instantly becoming long and thick, like poisonous snakes.

The tips of these slippery and evil black hairs were also embedded with black and white eyeballs and heads like spitting snake tongues respectively.

Jenna instinctively closed her eyes, but still felt her thinking was chaotic, pain and pleasure flooding in simultaneously, and her body became stiff, as if turning into stone.

At this moment, she suddenly understood what the enemy was doing.

The resurrected female corpse seemed to have foreseen that she would suffer a fatal blow and had no way to avoid it or use the method of forming a huge cocoon to protect herself, so she actively indulged her own madness, showing an incomplete mythical creature form that only a Saint could have.

For the vast majority of Saints, showing an incomplete mythical creature form is a very dangerous thing that leads to an out-of-control ending. If there's no other way, and if they aren't holding the idea of dragging the enemy to die together, no one would use it.

And for Beyonders who don't possess divinity, directly looking at an incomplete mythical creature form will encounter strong pollution and terrifying mental impact, and they will likely go crazy and lose control because of this. Even if they don't look directly and close their eyes, being in the corresponding range will also suffer certain pollution.

Saints who possess divinity will still be affected to a certain extent by the incomplete mythical creature form, and will continue to be affected by this influence and face the crazy attack of the incomplete mythical creature—an incomplete mythical creature form is the strongest and most dangerous state of a Saint.

When Franca's eyes reflected the terrifying change of the resurrected female corpse, she gritted her teeth and firmly pulled the trigger of the "Spear of Inevitability."

Bang!

A dim, blue-green bullet flew out of the muzzle, heading straight for the body of the resurrected female corpse covered by slippery and thick hair.

Franca then let out a painful low cry.

She instinctively tilted her head back. Her black hair, which had been modified by "Lie" and tied into a ponytail, broke free from the restraints and spread out, root by root, appearing to become thick.

Her face was dyed with a bit of gray-white, her chest was swollen, and her mind was like a storm, all thoughts being blown up, becoming crazy, becoming twisted, becoming gloomy.

She felt strong pleasure and extreme pain. This, superimposed on the body state that had already been infected with disease and decaying power, caused her to be forced to activate "Mirror Substitute."

The sound of cracking rang out, and Franca regressed into a mirror, shattering into fragments.

But when her figure was outlined in the corner, she just didn't have the feeling of disease and decay. Her hair was still flying in mid-air, still becoming thick, her face was exceptionally gray-white, twisted to the extreme, and presented a strange beauty, her eyes full of madness and viciousness.

Pollution cannot be transferred with "Mirror Substitute," and neither can the tendency to lose control.

At the same time, the "Inevitable Death" bullet fired by Franca hit the slippery and evil black hair of the "resurrected female corpse."

Although the effect of "Inevitable Death" was suppressed to the Sequence 7 level and was only inevitably fatal to ordinary people, it was still fatal to the resurrected female corpse who had already suffered heavy injuries. Moreover, the resurrected female corpse's incomplete mythical creature form was also restricted to Sequence 7 and only possessed defense at this level!

The dim blue-green bullet pierced through layers of thick hair and drilled into the brain of the resurrected female corpse presenting an incomplete mythical creature form.

Slap!

The resurrected female corpse's head split open, and blood and white pulp splashed outward.

The slippery and evil thick hair with black and white eyeballs fell one after another, recovering to their original state to varying degrees.

Until this time, Anthony dared to jump out of the mirror-like object, turning his back to the corpse with strange charm and mental pollution, and gave Franca a "mental analysis" from a not-too-far distance, which was to throw an "Anesthesia" over.

Franca's chaotic thoughts of pain and madness were calmed, and the symptoms of her body losing control began to subside.

Seeing this, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Fortunately, the resurrected female corpse's incomplete mythical creature form only had Sequence 7 level, and the pollution and impact caused to Franca were at this level. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether she could be saved. That might have depended on Franca's own willpower.

Anthony began the second "Anesthesia" when Lu Mian jumped out of the surveillance screen.

He instinctively looked at Franca and Jenna, confirming their state.

Seeing that the problems were all within the range of what could be endured, Lu Mian then cast his gaze toward the resurrected female corpse on the ground with a split head and strange hair.

As a Saint, he only had a slight fluctuation of emotions and didn't show any other reaction.

They joined forces and actually killed a "Despair Witch" with "Mirror Substitute"... Lu Mian was surprised and felt quite gratified.

He looked at Ludwig subconsciously, discovering that the little boy was staring at the "Witch" corpse with burning heat, completely without the worry that he might suffer pollution.

Ludwig indeed wouldn't be affected by the incomplete mythical creature form. Moreover, the corpse had already detached from the incomplete mythical creature form, leaving only part of the characteristics.

Lu Mian, while manufacturing deep black "Destructive Flames" in batches of seven, burned the sticky flesh and blood and yellow-green pus in the surveillance room, took out a mirror, bent his waist and back, and put the resurrected female corpse with a split head into it.

Cannot let this corpse continue to pollute the surveillance room and affect Jenna and Franca who were recovering!

In this process, a pitch-black, irregular mirror fragment fell from the corpse.

Sure enough, she had a special mirror world fragment... Lu Mian stuffed the pitch-black fragment into the "Traveler's Bag," intending to compare it with the others later.

At this time, the sticky flesh and blood and yellow-green pus in the surveillance room had already burned in small halves, and the black flames began to spread toward the surroundings, searching for other flammable materials.

"Phew..." Franca let out a long breath, and her

Anthony then shifted over to Jenna, helping Jenna, who was not heavily contaminated, to begin "psychoanalysis."

After Franca put the "Spear of Inevitability" back into the "Traveler's Bag," she was just about to say triumphantly to Lu Mian, "We took down a 'Despair Witch'," when her eyes suddenly caught those few surveillance cameras in the monitoring room.

She immediately changed her words:

"I'm going to check if our fight just now was caught by the cameras."

"Wouldn't it be easier to just use 'Flames of Destruction' to completely destroy the monitoring equipment?" Lu Mian felt there was no need to go through such trouble.

"What if the surveillance footage for this mall is stored on a cloud server?" Franca didn't understand it very well, but felt it was necessary to guard against such a situation.

Lu Mian did not stop Franca again, because he didn't understand what a cloud server was.

Franca quickly operated the monitoring system, and after a while, she said:

"It's fine, it should be that the resurrected female corpse destroyed the cameras in this room when she came to check the surveillance."

While speaking, she used "Mirror Substitution" once again, because Lu Mian could not let the entire room be submerged by "Flames of Destruction"; he could only create them in clusters of flames, burning them piece by piece, and there were still occult pathogens and decay forces remaining in the air.

Lu Mian nodded and said:

"Check again to see if my fight in the monitoring world has become part of the surveillance footage.

"If there are no issues, we'll head back quickly to perform spirit mediumship."

"It can do that?" Franca said in astonishment.

This was equivalent to the actions of a dummy in a painting world changing the painting itself.
