Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1086 The Special Mirror World

Having reached this point, Elaine calmed down completely.

At this time, she had already gone deep into the underground mausoleum. According to the map, it was probably right below the square in front of the Church of Knowledge, but it should be more than a hundred meters from the ground. Even the vertical distance exceeded the limit of the "Pain" witch using the mirror substitute to transfer. What's more, the place above should be full of rioting exiles, and there were no mirrors that could be used for transfer.

At this point, unless she returned the same way and gave up competing with Guxin and Lisa for the "Salinger Blood Flag", thus making two months of hard work go to waste, there was only one way forward.

Not to mention, she felt that she still had certain advantages.

The unexpected dual path, the powerful "Rose Necklace", Miss Angelica's gaze, and the holy emblem that may be able to keep me safe in the dark, and most importantly, knowledge itself is power... Thoughts were surging in her mind. She held the lantern in one hand and touched the wall with the other, continuing to move forward along the wall, and soon came to the entrance of the hall in her memory.

On the map, this area is marked blank and is undoubtedly the most special.

The destination of each of Elaine's nightmares is the pile of corpses in the hall. They all end with her looking up to the top of the mountain and suffering the pain of being burned by flames. She has a strong curiosity about what the situation is like at the top of the mountain of corpses.

As she got closer to the hall, the desire to tear off the blindfold and see the surrounding scene with her own eyes became stronger and stronger. If her hands were not busy at the moment, she would have been unable to resist pulling the black cloth.

If Miss Angelica had not reminded me of these taboos, and I had read relevant books under the guidance of Archbishop Heraberg, I might have taken the risk of taking off the blindfold and taking a look... Elaine was terrified, and the scenes she saw in the nightmare involuntarily emerged in her mind.

In the huge space that was so wide that it didn't seem like it was underground and was over a hundred meters high, countless steel puppets holding weapons formed a circle. Inside was a wasteland filled with charred bones or corpses that still had some body tissues. In the center, a mountain made up of corpses almost touched the ceiling, and the top was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see the specific objects.

And Elaine was walking into the encirclement of the soldiers, stepping onto the road paved by corpses with dark red or pale flames burning in their eye sockets.

Her vision, which was originally completely dark due to closing her eyes and covering her eyes with a cloth, gradually overlapped with the scenes in her dream, as if she was walking in a nightmare again.

Suddenly, she found that her pace accelerated uncontrollably. She stepped over the corpses and began to climb the mountain that seemed to have no top.

Wait... No... I'm being controlled? Controlled by a sealed object?

Elaine still had her own consciousness in her mind. She tried her best to stop her legs from moving forward, and soon found that her body was back under her control, as if everything just now was just part of a nightmare. She woke up suddenly, stood still, and stopped in front of the pile of corpses, only one step away from the real "hillside".

"I can move again... That wasn't an illusion just now. Some kind of power in the Corpse Mountain was trying to control me, making me a real puppet and a part of the mountain...

“This should be the pollution mentioned in the Principle of Sealing. If it reaches a certain level, I will completely become a part of the underground mausoleum... No wonder those ‘experimenters’ abide by the taboos but still continue to decrease. They need to be replenished from time to time. Repeated entry and exit of the mausoleum will deepen the pollution and eventually become part of the mountain of corpses!

"And the books I read about the underground mausoleum and the Sealed Objects allowed me to be relatively safe from contamination while gradually understanding them. It was not until I dreamed of this mountain that Heraberg said, 'The time is almost right.' Now the contamination I have suffered is at the critical point where I can approach the Corpse Mountain without being completely controlled. Is this the basis for getting close to the Sealed Object?

"Not entirely true. If there was such a critical point of safety, many of the 'experimenters' would have escaped long ago... Is it because of my own uniqueness? The uniqueness that Miss Angelica's 'gift' gave me?"

Elaine's thoughts were working at a speed that surprised even herself, but her feet were about to move forward again, but she controlled them in time.

It's still trying to control me... Let's leave this hall first and find another way... She was thinking, and was about to move away from the Mountain of Corpses before it was completely controlled, when she suddenly heard a slight friction sound next to her ear.

It was the sound of fabric rubbing against each other, like the sound of an indistinguishable insect, but in the silent hall of corpses, it was very clear to Elaine's ears, who had the keen sense of a hunter and a witch.

It was different from the noise Gu Xin had deliberately made before, and if he showed up, he would definitely bring his puppets with him... Could it be Lisa? Lisa, the "painful" witch, who had used "invisibility" to eliminate most of the noise, but was also contaminated to a certain extent and moved involuntarily towards the Corpse Mountain? Elaine made an immediate judgment.

She was not sure whether the other party had some kind of vision like Gu Xin, so she could only treat him as an enemy with normal vision. Therefore, she no longer stayed beside the mountain of corpses, but immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hall.

But just as Elaine was moving away from the corpses and skeletons, countless gazes suddenly gathered on her from all directions. Some came from the various puppets surrounding the hall, some came from the corpses lying on the ground forming a huge mountain, and there was also a malicious gaze that came from nowhere.

Malice perception!

Elaine switched the soul shepherded by the "Rose Necklace" again, trying to determine where Lisa's hatred came from, but found that this knife-like sight sometimes shot at her from the left, sometimes from the right, and sometimes even from above, as if many "pain" witches were planning to kill her in their hearts.

Elaine, who had been a witch for nearly a month, immediately realized that this was the effect of the other party hiding in the "mirror world" and spying on her through different mirrors. But wasn't the mirror world in the underground mausoleum area shrouded in a layer of impenetrable fog... How dare she enter there and create false sounds, making me think she was controlled and exposed herself?
This is what Lisa relies on to enter the underground mausoleum. Is this her unique "advantage"?
Elaine's thoughts raced, and she no longer hesitated. White-hot flames suddenly ignited around her, and they transformed into fire crows with spread wings, flying towards the sources of "malice" in different directions, exploding into sparks and igniting the skeletonized corpses that had not yet completely rotted.

At the same time, the crisp sound of mirrors breaking reached her ears.

As expected, Lisa was the first to enter here, and she even had time to set up her own magic mirror. Fortunately, her malicious intentions exposed the location of the mirror... Elaine was just overwhelmed with joy at solving the opponent's trap, when she suddenly felt the ground shaking and her body shook.

Rumbling--

The entire underground mausoleum made a huge noise, and the lifeless corpses around it kept shaking. The corpses on the top of the mountain were thrown down by the vibration, rolling down the hillside and falling beside Elaine; the soldier puppets surrounding the wilderness of corpses also stood unsteadily, and their heavy feet made clanging sounds on the floor.

But in between, there was a regular, continuous sound of footsteps approaching Elaine.

It's Guxin, he's back with new puppets!
Three hunters and witches, representing different forces but choosing to enter the underground mausoleum at the same time, finally met in the core area of ​​the seal.

Elaine was not surprised but happy, realizing that now was a great opportunity to deal with the two competitors. However, she was not prepared to fight in the corpse hall where something strange had occurred. Instead, based on the angle of the footsteps made by Gu Xin's puppets, she changed direction and continued to move away from the Corpse Mountain, intending to leave from another entrance marked on the map and lead the enemy into a familiar terrain that was more suitable for her to fight.

"Guxin, the witch is here too!"

She also shouted to remind Gu Xin that Lisa was ambushing in the dark. Of course, this sentence could also mislead the "pain" witch, making the latter think that the two hunters had formed an alliance and turn their spearheads to Gu Xin and his puppets, who were obviously more difficult to deal with.

If only the two of them would fight first... Elaine wished in her heart.

But before she could withdraw from the hall that was shaking continuously and filled with skeletons and corpses, the vibration that seemed to shake the entire underground area of ​​Morola suddenly disappeared, and the clanging sound of the soldiers and puppets shaking all around also stopped abruptly.

The mutation disappeared?
Elaine became suspicious and slowed down her pace as she ran towards the entrance of the hall, listening to the noises around her.

Not to mention the vibration, even the footsteps of Guxin's puppets rushing towards her disappeared without a trace, leaving only deathly silence. The "Ice Mirror" charm hidden in her pocket exuded a cold touch through her clothes, as if it had turned into ice.

The spell responded, the vibration and footsteps suddenly disappeared... Elaine had a guess in her heart, she stroked the "Dark Holy Emblem" tied on her wrist, feeling its completely different feel from before, she decisively reached out to take off the black cloth covering her eyes, and opened her eyes.

She was currently standing in a corner of a hall as vast as a wasteland, surrounded by steel puppets facing inwards and holding weapons. The area they were surrounded by was littered with countless charred skeletons and corpses that had not yet decayed, with dark red or pale flames quietly burning in their eye sockets.

In the center of the wasteland, a mountain made up of more of the same corpses stood, over a hundred meters high, almost touching the ceiling of the underground area. On the top was a concave platform, and Elaine could not see the whole picture from her current perspective.

In this dark and silent hall, where the only light sources were the flames in the corpse's eye sockets and the lantern held by Elaine, there were two other people standing besides herself.

The "Harvester" Gu Xin, wearing leather clothes and with messy hair, was standing next to the entrance where Elaine had entered the hall before. There was nothing around him, and the puppet soldiers he controlled had long disappeared.

At the foot of the mountain of corpses, the beautiful "pain" witch Lisa, wearing a high-slit low-cut long skirt, stood among the corpses, looking at the two of them with a half-smile.

She wore a sapphire ring on her left pinky finger.

Apart from the three people, everything else, including the iron puppets surrounding the hall, the countless corpses piled on the ground, and even the ceiling above and the connected vaults and stone walls, seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier that people could see but could not touch.

Seeing this scene, Elaine was completely relieved.

With her perception as a fellow "pain" witch, the power of the ice mirror spell in her arms, and the various knowledge she had recently learned, she was certain that both she and Gu Xin were pulled into the mirror world by Lisa, who was wearing a strange gem ring, at the moment the strange change happened.

Moreover, it is a special mirror world that is different from the dark and deep world and has countless dark passages!
