Chapter 1887: Another Island

"This inn?"

Big Sister Aurora shook her head slightly:

"I don't know. Emma, are you saying that when this place was chosen, it was already in that Diviner's calculations? Oh, I don't have much understanding of spatial power, just tell me what happened here. Where did Xia De and Megan and the others go?"

"Spatial replication."

Big Sister Sylvia said softly, stating her conclusion:

"Copy a portion of the existing space and project it to a distance. Space and inanimate matter can be copied this way, but relics, living people, and those items with extremely strong extraordinary power cannot. The inn we are in now should be a replica; the one they are in is the original one."

"You mean..."

Big Sister Aurora widened her eyes slightly:

"But this inn, doesn't it have the ritual we arranged to stabilize space?"

"It's not anyone's method, it's a natural phenomenon. Our rituals can resist the spatial movement effects of miracles, rituals, and even most relics, but they cannot resist the world alone. That's why I said, this is truly a good method. Could that Diviner have anticipated a hundred years ago that at 1:48 on the 21st of the Month of Prayer for Rain in 1854, such a thing would happen? For tonight, he was laying out plans a hundred years ago?"

Big Sister Sylvia said, taking a triangular metal spell from her pocket. Her fingers exerted force suddenly, and the metal piece bent immediately. The return spell took effect, and her figure disappeared instantly from the basement, but when Big Sister Aurora brought the other female spellcasters to the first floor, she still saw the black-haired Witch here:

"It doesn't work."

Big Sister Sylvia said:

"Although this spell can guarantee my return to the inn, it's not the inn where Xia De is, but this inn. Sure enough, it's not that simple."

She looked at the empty and dark first floor of the inn:

"Xia De and the other girls have probably all gone to that island located on the back of the real island, and now we have two paths.

First, go deep into the white mist, find Megan's cruise ship, and after meeting up with the others, use the small boat Xia De left behind to prepare to land on the island in about half an hour. It's just that we lack a Diviner to lead the way; Luweiya Annat is not here;

Second, spatial replication means there must be a connecting passage between the two inns. This is hard to find, very hard to find, but once found, all of us can immediately meet up with Xia De and the others."

Big Sister Aurora pondered for a moment:

"We have enough manpower. Although the girls in the inn have disappeared, there are still people elsewhere. Sylvia, you and the other girls stay here and try to find the door connecting the two inns. I will go find Megan's cruise ship myself. 1:48 has passed, the Edwards on the cruise ship have also likely disappeared. But with Vanessa, Grandma Cassandra, and Sister Daifulin, the next things will be easier to handle."

Big Sister Sylvia nodded, and the inn door was pushed open at this moment. Doctor Schneider, soaked through, and Priest Augustus, with a very bad complexion, returned from the rain to the inn. After a brief exchange, the doctor and the priest also knew what had happened here.

"Then the two of us will go directly to the lakeside."

The priest said, and the doctor nodded:

"This situation was also in Xia De's expectations. It's just that I didn't expect that while I was worried about how to get to that island, so many people have already entered."

(Little Mia running...)

Icy, trembling...

This was Xia De, hiding in the wardrobe wearing the invisibility cloak, feeling the only sensation during the earthquake when 1:48 arrived.

He originally thought that other things would happen at 1:48:01. Even if there were no strange noises and tremors, no Megan's voice or monster's roar, at least there should be abnormal changes in spirit and elements.

But nothing happened. It seemed that besides the earthquake, nothing happened.

For a moment, Xia De suspected he had remembered the time wrong, but the miracle 【Contact the Father of the Infinite Tree】 couldn't be wrong. Then he suspected that Laplace Klein Howard had calculated the time wrong, and then realized this thought was too ridiculous.

"No matter what, I can't hide in the wardrobe anymore."

So at 1:48:03, he rushed out of the 【Hide-and-Seek Wardrobe】 wearing the invisibility cloak, and then saw that outside was still Duoluoqian's room on the third floor of the inn. Duoluoqian, Princess Lei Qianya, Ajielina, Little Mia, Tifa, and the girls whose names Xia De could and couldn't call were all there, but only Megan was missing.

Besides that, the corridor was in a mess; it seemed someone had suddenly fainted.

"What's the situation?"

Xia De lifted the invisibility cloak, puzzled. Megan disappearing suddenly like this made all the preparations they had made seem like a joke. He couldn't understand how Megan had disappeared without any sign under the protection of the Green Lake Inn's tight rituals.

His fingers trembled slightly. He could feel the positions of Megan and Audrey; they... seemed not very far from him.

The girls in the room were also very confused:

"Miss Edwards disappeared all of a sudden. Oh, Xia De, quite a few people in the corridor fainted, what is going on?"

Xia De wanted to go to the corridor to see the situation, but Miss Deket, Big Sister Sylvia's assistant, reminded him:

"Mr. Hamilton, look outside, this isn't right.

Just a moment ago, you were inside two relics, so you might not have felt much, but I felt the abnormal change in space. Slight, but completely unstoppable. This shouldn't be in the city anymore. My spatial perception ability was completely suppressed when it touched the walls of the building."

"High-Efficiency Spatial Perception!"

After her reminder, Xia De immediately realized something. After closing his eyes and activating the miracle, he opened his eyes in surprise:

"Give me the map of the Green Lake region!"

Tifa, who was arranging for the awake female spellcasters to check on their fainted companions at the door, immediately asked someone to get the map, but Duoluoqian stopped her, pulled open the desk drawer, and handed the "Green Lake City Travel Guide" to Xia De:

"On the last page."

Xia De held the map and activated the miracle again. After locating his position on the map at this time, it completely confirmed his conjecture:

"How is that possible? We are now on the central island of Green Lake? No, not that normal island, this isn't right. We seem to be in a mirror... we are on another island?"

Miss Deket walked to the window immediately and took a look outside, then reached a conclusion:

"Mr. Hamilton, the fog outside is very thick, much thicker than in the city. I can't see the halo of the street lamps, let alone the buildings across the street. No matter where this is, this is definitely not a city."

Although Xia De didn't have the knowledge of Big Sister Sylvia, he was a correspondence student at Saint Byrons, and he hadn't just paid tuition without learning any knowledge. He reached a conclusion similar to the Great Witch:

"Spatial replication?"

In this way, the situation of the female spellcasters who suddenly fell into a coma in the city could also be explained. This kind of forced spatial transfer was different from Big Sister Sylvia's portals or spatial transfer miracles. The disorder of spirit and space at that moment just now would cause severe damage to the spirits of Extraordinarys who had sensitive senses but no resistance to spatial transfer. This was also one of the dangerous aspects of spatial movement.

"So, that's why Megan disappeared so easily... In the city, the inn's rituals were enough to protect them from being suddenly transferred away. But after the inn came here, this island is his territory, not to mention that these mists will seriously affect the effect of spatial rituals... That Diviner, what a good method."

Subsequently, Xia De thought of the same problem as Big Sister Sylvia:

"The location of this inn... a hundred years ago, was he planning for today?"

After a rough check, none of the girls in the third-floor corridor had suffered irreversible damage; they were just temporarily unable to wake up. There was no point in staying here anymore. All the girls who were still awake were willing to obey Xia De's command, so everyone followed Xia De through the dark and lightless second floor and came to the first floor. The fainted companions were also transferred down.

On the first floor, Miss Haili Aurora and other girls were still there, but at least half of them had also fallen into a coma due to the forced spatial transfer. And after coming to the basement, the ritual core was shining with light. Not only were Last Edwards and Mr. Solon Green missing, but even Dulute Giles was missing.

But the girls maintaining the ritual were still there, just also showing a coma phenomenon of more than half.

"I don't know if this can still be used..."

【Space-Time】 spirit rune shone on the basement wall, but failed to reveal the hidden passage.

"I still have crystal shoes..."

But the thrown crystal shoes just landed on the ground, and Xia De didn't return to No. 6 Saint-Dern Square because of this.

【This is no longer the material world, but the back of the world. Unless you fully unfold your Mystery, throwing crystal shoes here is ineffective.】

"Alright."

So all the awake and fainted people gathered in the first-floor inn lobby. After carefully checking their identities to prevent anyone extra from being there, besides Xia De, Duoluoqian, Princess Lei Qianya, Ajielina, and the two official Witch apprentices Haili and Tifa, there were five high-ring ladies and twenty-eight mid-ring girls in the inn who still maintained combat effectiveness.

The good news was that although the number wasn't large, the female spellcasters in the inn were absolutely loyal girls, so there was no need to worry about the inn becoming disunited because the Great Witches weren't there.

And among these girls, the two wearing manservant dresses, like Tifa, were followers of Miss Galina. Among the others, one-third were followers of Miss Aurora, one-third were from Paradise Island Pharmaceuticals, and the rest belonged to followers of Miss Sylvia.

Originally, Miss Sylvia's followers should have been the fewest, but because the followers of the spatial Great Witch mostly had spatial talent, almost no one fainted. ===== CHAPTER 1888 =====
