Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1131 The Fist is Hard Again

Looking down from the sky, this huge city formed in the mirror world by the power leaked from the "City of Disaster" was still dead silent. Buildings of various styles were vaguely emerging in the mist. There were contemporary high-rise buildings and flat roads that Angel was familiar with, modern low-rise brick and stone buildings, and ancient simple houses built of boulders, mud or mortar, among which were styles of different civilizations and countries.

But among them, Angel did not find the familiar figure.

"She's not here... Did she sense that I was going to ask some tough questions and hide in advance?"

Angel muttered, landing at the usual spot where they had met before, looking around and tilting her head in confusion.

Fortunately, the steps for mirror divination in the mirror world are simpler. Her eyes flashed, and relying on the mystical connection between the person in the mirror and the original body, she instantly found the other party's whereabouts.

She was on the edge of the city, not far from the street.

Passing through the mirror passage above the city, which was composed of the red color representing war and death, and the black color representing disaster and turmoil, Angel quickly came to the street where the person in the mirror was, dropped lightly from the air, and stood directly in front of another Angel.

The latter was looking at the high buildings with her eyes a little out of focus. It was unknown what she was thinking. She did not come to her senses until Angel appeared in front of her. She smiled faintly and looked at her original body.

Angel also found that the surrounding street scenes were somewhat familiar to her. In the square surrounded by low-rise buildings dominated by gray, there stood a clock tower that stood out from the crowd. The huge clock faces on all four sides were covered with cracks, and the hands were crookedly pointing to the same time.

This is the municipal square of Limon City in Jianhai County. After the war broke out, Angel also visited the tallest clock tower in the city!

How did it appear in "City of Disaster"?

As if knowing what Angel was thinking, the "person in the mirror" spoke in the same voice as hers:
"A month ago, Feysac's army broke through the northern defense line of Loen and occupied Limon City. As a deterrent to the citizens and revenge against Loen, this square was destroyed by a hurricane of limited scale but extremely powerful force."

The masterpiece of a weather wizard... Angel thought silently, and suddenly realized the purpose of the man in the mirror saying these words, and frowned:

"Because it was destroyed by natural disasters and is related to the two paths of 'disaster', it appeared inside this city?"

Without waiting for the person in the mirror to answer, she continued:

"How are the other scenes in 'City of Disaster', the buildings from different eras, countries and cultural styles, integrated into it in this way?"

"That's right," the man in the mirror nodded with an expression that said "you're very smart," "Destruction caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, especially disasters related to the Witch and Hunter Path, will cause the city to continue to expand. This is related to the real area corresponding to the 'mirror world'. Even if the awakening of the original creator caused the destruction of the spirit world, this connection was not interrupted. Therefore, not only the era you are in, but also the buildings and streets in the style of the 'old times' have corresponding areas in this city."

No wonder I had seen buildings from the ancient Greek and Roman periods, as well as modern European-style buildings. At the time, I mistook them for streets in the Kingdom of Loen... By the way, the modern streets where I died were also included in the "City of Disaster" for some reason, which led to my "travel through time"?

Angel's thoughts raced, and he suddenly had a question:
“Is this kind of mirror-image aggregation and expansion limited to cities?

"Will there be any natural sights? What about the people who died in the disaster?"

The person in the mirror smiled, pointed to the sky and said:

“Natural landscapes… aren’t these what they are?”

In the sky, the pale moon that was split in the middle and almost split into two slowly floated by.

The moon... Angel's eyes swept across the unfamiliar full moon and he realized that his thinking had been in a misunderstanding.

When she first entered the city, she thought that the moon in the sky, which was different from the Crimson Moon, was some kind of false vision. After knowing that she had never left "Earth", she thought that the red moon was just a phenomenon after a mysterious revival. It was not until she learned about the "Outer Gods" and "The Old Ones" that she realized that the red moon was most likely a change caused by a certain Old One entrenched in it.

From the beginning to the end, she forgot that the moon originally belonged to the Earth was bright white. Could it be that the Earth's moon also had a mirror image of the "City of Disaster" because of some "disaster"? Could the ever-lasting volcanoes and shattered earth around it be the Earth itself? That seemingly endless special mirror world accommodated all the areas that had suffered disasters?

Does this mean the inevitable destruction of "Doomsday"? But now it is more than ten years away from Doomsday, how could a corresponding mirror image appear in "City of Disaster"...

Seeing her lower her head in deep thought, the person in the mirror smiled again and continued:

"As for 'people', we don't see them here."

On our side?

Angel was startled, and immediately understood what the other party meant:
"Humans" can only appear in the body of the "City of Disaster" that is sealed in the Western Continent.

She thought of the modern oriental streets shrouded and isolated by a thin gray mist, the two-wheeled carts pulled by human power, and the blurred outlines of men and women.

Now she knew that the gray fog represented the power of "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" to seal the Western Continent. It belonged to the "Old Days" and even the true gods could not break it.

The same fog appears to the east of the God-Forsaken Land. Only the "Old Ones" have a chance to unlock it, and to become an "Old One", one needs the Essence sealed within it.

Even though she has now mastered the three paths of darkness, death and war, the Goddess of Night, who is closest to this state, cannot obtain the source of the "River of Eternal Darkness" and can only become a true god of multiple paths at most.

Is this why He paid attention to Klein and me? He saw the power of the Source in us?

She thought for a moment, put the question in her heart, returned to her original purpose, forced a serious expression, and said:

"You knew long ago that Klein was the Fool?"

This is what she is most curious about. How can the person in the mirror, who has been in the mirror world for a long time, be more perceptive than herself?
Her pretentious look made the person in the mirror laugh. The latter pursed his lips to hold back his laughter and replied in a relaxed tone:

“Isn’t this something that’s easy to see?
"The Fool's appearance and Klein's 'crossing' occurred on the same day, and that meeting of the Tarot Club members was more of an accident than an 'experiment'. Klein and the Fool are both fortune tellers, and each of his promotions brings about an improvement in the Fool's abilities, as if this 'ancient god' is slowly regaining his power. After 'The World' joined the Tarot Club, he was never pulled into the gray fog in front of you. When you occasionally spotted him, he was in a strange posture, as if he was performing some kind of ritual..."

As the person in the mirror spoke, the scenes naturally emerged in Angel's mind:

When he first touched the badge, he was pulled into a mysterious gray fog and met Mr. Fool, who seemed calm but was also unprepared.
After Klein became a "trickster" and gained divinity, the subtle changes in the gray fog space and the state of the Fool changed;
The furtive "world" that deliberately avoided her every time she attended the Tarot Club;
The twisted posture of the two legs standing like a knot...

Because of these doubts, she once suspected that "The Fool" was Klein, but she immediately ruled out such a ridiculous answer and instead thought in more reasonable directions such as "travelers" and "containers for the resurrection of gods."

Of course, now it seems that these two answers are not wrong... But Angel is still a little worried about her IQ. She actually ruled out the obvious answer and wandered around in the maze of thinking...

Looking up at the person in the mirror with a faint smile on his face, Angel suspected that the other person was actually laughing at him, just like Klein who deliberately concealed his identity as the "Mother Earth Goddess" at the Tarot Club today.

Could it be that she knew the answer first and then deduced so many clues... Angel muttered to himself and continued to ask:
"If you knew it already, why didn't you tell me?"

It would have been fine if he didn't tell me, but he actually told Klein in advance, leaving me in the dark like an outsider?

Thinking of this, Angel's fists hardened again.
