254: Chapter 22 In the Mirror of Deep Love (3) 254: Chapter 22 In the Mirror of Deep Love (3) The creature known as “Mirror Maid” was wandering in the world behind the mirrors.
It was extrely confused by the man it had just encountered, having never seen such a reaction before.
Previous n either smiled upon seeing it or, after making an offering, said so coercive words and left.
No one had ever spoken to it in a negotiating tone like today.
Listening to that man’s words actually made it feel sowhat embarrassed.
He was right, after all.
With no grudges between us, why should we haunt and harm people rely out of greed for the benefits of others…
How shaful that idea is!
Just like a villain in a storybook.
She, a woman, how could she think like this…
“Ah…” How strange.
She, it, was not human.
Why would it have such thoughts?
Perhaps it had slept for too long.
It must be because of oversleeping.
“Ah.” It made up its mind; even if that man couldn’t bring an offering, it would just playfully tease him before leaving.
It would sleep again afterward.
After a restful sleep, things would get better.
“Ah!”
It stopped.
There was another man, the one who had smiled at it that morning.
But that was impossible; this was the realm behind the mirror, humans couldn’t enter.
“Found~you~” A girl it hadn’t seen before poked her head out from behind the man.
“As expected, it’s the Mirror Maid.
Lucky!” The girl waved and laughed, and suddenly, its body wouldn’t obey its commands.
It couldn’t help but step forward and stand behind the girl.
“Good, good, that’s how it should be.” The girl twirled in place, holding her skirt.
“The world in the mirror is Shiqi’s realm, everything in the mirror must follow Shiqi’s commands!
Co, let’s go find Miss Sister!”
A feeling known as terror made it shiver with coldness.
This girl also possessed the power of the gods…
She was a living god!
Gongsun Ce sprayed a suppressant into his mouth and asked, “By the way, Miss Linai, what exactly is ant by ‘living god’?”
“Gods receive people’s reverence because they possess powers incomprehensible to humans.
Then what if there are humans who possess extraordinary powers?”
After finishing their al, the three strolled along the streets of the small town.
Linai ntioned she needed to buy materials to deal with the Mirror Maid and was sifting through goods at a small shop by the street, answering the Superpower User’s question at the sa ti.
“So, it becos a god appearing in the form of a human in this world…
I see.” Gongsun Ce mused, “Living god on Zero Island is another na for the Impermanence Law Enforcers.”
Superpower Users had only appeared ten years ago, while the term living god obviously wasn’t a contemporary expression.
It could only be referring to the age-old Impermanence Law Enforcers.
“Tch, being called a god just because you’re powerful,” Shiyu Ling displayed a dismissive attitude.
He felt that power wasn’t the only reason; perhaps there were deeper reasons behind the term living god.
It’s not that Gongsun Ce had much faith in a foreign religion; it’s just that a middle-aged painter once asked for a lesson from an “overseas master.” He figured that Yan Qi, regardless of how exaggerated his stories were, wouldn’t ask him to seek knowledge from the Martial Arts Association or Shiyu Genmi.
In any case, he would have to find soone from the Seven Luminaries Divine Sect for answers.
Linai’s tone and familiarity with Yan Qi might indicate she could teach him in the future.
He glanced at the little witch, who was holding two wooden combs and seed to be in a dilemma.
“Mr.
Gongsun, which one do you think is appropriate?”
“I personally think neither suits you well, Miss Linai; you would be better suited to sothing more fashionable.”
The Hoodie Witch stared at him speechlessly.
“I ant as an offering for the Mirror Maid.”
…
This was bad; he had subconsciously assud she wanted to buy sothing for herself.
He hoped she wouldn’t mistake him for the kind of frivolous man who takes any opportunity to flirt!
In the end, Linai chose a rather old-fashioned comb and hair tie.
They then went to a costics store and bought perfu, foundation, eyebrow pencils, lipstick, and other makeup essentials, as well as a small mirror.
“Would a ghost with a faceless and black-toothed appearance desire these items?”
“Yes~ the best way to calm down the Mirror Maid is to offer her items used by won for dressing up.”
The trio found a quiet alley, and Linai flicked her wrist, conjuring a palm-sized white paper out of nowhere.
“Let just set up the place a bit.” She pulled out a pen from her pocket, drew a square on the paper, and then a circle within the square.
She stuck this paper, reminiscent of an introductory lesson in middle school plane geotry, to the wall.
“This keeps the passersby away.” She then conjured another paper and drew a diamond-shaped, pear-like geotric figure.
“Next, use this to summon the Mirror Maid…
Ah, do you need an explanation?”
The confused Superpower User looked to his savvy partner, and Shiyu Ling explained, “The first is a Brahma Rune, used for either dispersing passersby or attracting them within a certain range.
The diamond shape is a Void Phase Rune, whose function is to provide attraction and satisfaction.”
The practical Void Phase Rune for clearing passersby was understandable, but satisfaction?
“After looking at it, one feels sowhat better,” Shiyu Ling added, “In other words, it makes you happy.”
Other runes offered functionalities like energy detection, reduced presence, dispersing passersby, and even a silent Dust Explosion at worst.
Yet, inexplicably, the Void Phase introduced such an oddly out-of-place elent.
It was like a group of fierce and ominous Superpower Users suddenly included a little pink fluffy rabbit perched atop a wooden stake, holding a sign that read, “Pet for a day full of good spirits.”
“I find it hard to associate this rune with the Void Phase Skill of Wildfire-san.”
