Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1289 The real you
The dream city in the night began to collapse and fall down inch by inch from the edge. High-rise buildings fell down with a roar, pedestrians on the road stepped into the shadows, cars drove into the darkness, and then everything fell into the ever-expanding, dark and deep mirror world.

"We didn't manage to trick any strange people in this time... It seems that those 'great beings' are very sure that the power within the barrier will prioritize solving the 'initial' problem, rather than using it as a bargaining chip...

"Oh, let's try again next time."

Amon, who was driving the black taxi, watched the darkness spread, muttered a few words silently, adjusted the monocle in his right eye socket, and then his expression froze, and he fell into the void with his car.

Adam stood up from the bench in the prayer hall below the church, Roselle in the luxurious villa looked at his daughter lovingly, and Amanisis in the high-rise apartment reluctantly put down his phone...

Their expressions also changed, as if they had lost their souls, and were then swallowed up by the darkness along with everything around them.

It was not until the city that collapsed like a chessboard gradually shrank and its residents walked into the shadows one by one, leaving only the supermarket shrouded in darkness, that the speed at which the dream disappeared slowed down.

Feeling the "disconnection" of his other secret dolls and the alertness rising from the depths of his spirituality, Klein let go of Angel in his arms and asked:
"Is the dream going to end completely?"

Angel, still wearing his student uniform but with a look that Klein was familiar with, said "hmm" and looked around with his eyes flickering. After a moment, he said:
"The other dreamers have already left. We still have a little time before the dream ends."

After waking up, she seemed to have become the true master of this real dream... What does a little bit of time mean... Klein's mind flashed with thoughts, and he asked carefully:

"Is all this a trap for the negative side of the Prime Creator?"

"That's about right," Angel said calmly, "After being affected by the power of the 'Eternal Darkness River', He and I should not have maintained our self-awareness, but should have fallen into a long sleep. However, the goddess' blessing allowed me to make certain changes to my dreams before that, and gain a slight advantage in the battle with 'The Beginning'."

"So you built a dream city in a familiar shape, placed yourself in it, and lived as an ordinary person? Will this help fight against the consciousness of the 'Prime Creator'?" Klein asked with enlightenment.

Angel shook his head and continued:
"If that were the case, He would definitely be the final winner. Human nature is ultimately limited and will gradually wear away in a long period of confrontation, but the spiritual imprint of the original Creator will forever exist in all the source, uniqueness, and extraordinary characteristics of the world He created. He can wait, but I can't.

"Fortunately, when I accommodated the uniqueness of the 'witch' path, I felt that the 'original' consciousness in my body was not the real one that left a spiritual imprint and whose will gradually dissipated, but a new consciousness that emerged because of the combination of Tudor and Chick in the special mirror world.

"He is most likely the means of resurrection left by the original creator. With his own 'feminine side' and 'masculine side', plus the power of the 'Lord of Mysteries' who created the special mirror world, and the resurrection backup of the 'God', the original creator was born in the mirror world... If everything goes well, he will rely on the two paths of disaster to control the 'City of Disaster' and form a stable existence, instead of the nine source substances and twenty-two paths of God that will split again once they are gathered."

The original creator in the mirror was actually the "resurrection method" left by the great being who created everything, rather than a product born by accident? A flash of lightning flashed through Klein's mind, and he understood why when the "original creator" fell, a barrier was formed outside the earth to block everything, especially the outer gods who wanted to seize the source.

"The fight among the Outer Gods is likely to lead to a new gathering, causing the First Creator to be born again, destroying everything and creating everything. But what He wants is a stable existence, like a pillar like 'God' and 'Lord of Mysteries'?"

He said following his train of thought.

"Well, this is the information I learned during the process of fighting and merging with Him. Of course, part of it also came from the remaining will of the 'Original Witch' Chike," Angel smiled and explained, "In addition, during this process, I discovered something important."

"The consciousness of the newly born Primeval Creator is very weak, just like a newborn baby. This is why Chick and Tudor were able to master His feminine and masculine aspects respectively, and use them to fight against God's consciousness and utilize the power of the 'Sea of ​​Chaos'.

"Under Chick's suppression, the negative side of the Creator grew very slowly, but it also gradually gained its own power. It wanted to invade reality by occupying the 'man in the mirror' and get rid of the control of the 'master of the mirror world'... This obsession is still reflected in the dream, and because I have already merged with Him to a certain extent in reality, He can only target... my man in the mirror."

Angel's voice was soft and soothing, as if she wasn't worried at all about the darkness surrounding the supermarket that was swallowing up her and Klein.

The latter listened carefully and thought in his mind, trying to understand the rules behind the dream.

From a simple offensive and defensive perspective, the negative side of the "Prime Creator" is about to come into contact with Angel's "Mirror Man", and the latter needs to prevent this from happening. Therefore, the entire dream city is designed to be an ordinary world without any supernatural power. Even the "supernatural world" that existed in history no longer exists, in order to avoid contact with the potion system to the greatest extent and become a "witch".

He glanced sideways at the prize redemption counter which was still filled with various potions, and asked tentatively:

"The prize giver who looks like Viev and these potions that seem to be complete but only the 'witch' path is genuine, do they all symbolize the purpose of the 'prime creator'?"

"No," Angel shook his head, "I arranged both her and the potions."

Ok?
Klein was stunned.

Seeing his surprised expression, Angel laughed again and explained with some pride:

"I just said that if we continue to fight, I will be the only one who loses. So when I designed the dream, I made a plan to take advantage of the fact that 'Original' is still growing and use the 'Man in the Mirror' as a trap to lure Him out and make Him give up this chance of resurrection...

"Once the dream begins, I can only fight against His spiritual imprint with all my strength. Everything in the dream city can only develop on its own. It is difficult for me or Him to spare the strength to influence this process. "And you and other outsiders, no matter what purpose you have, as long as you enter the dream, it is possible that Angel Granger in the dream will be exposed to extraordinary power and have the opportunity to be promoted."

Klein raised his eyebrows and took over the conversation:

"So, you simply took the initiative to create an opportunity to give yourself the 'Assassin' potion."

Angel nodded slightly:
"Yes, Old Neil's appearance was an accident, but even without his 'Doomsday Prophecy', I would have found the opportunity to draw a lottery by repeatedly coming to this supermarket and get the bottle of magic potion that would definitely belong to me.

"Of course, I must drink the potion at night, so that the man in the mirror can be born. This is Chick's role..."

She had to do it at night... So she already knew... Klein felt melancholy for a moment, sighed, and continued:
"Whether it's day or night, this body belongs to Angel? Then who kicked me out of the dream?"

"Of course it is the negative side of the Prime Creator. He wants me to take the potion and create the man in the mirror that he needs, so he will not show mercy to anyone who hinders this. Fortunately, his actions have allowed me and other dreamers to see that he has been fooled, and he has greater confidence in what he is going to do next."

Angel answered with a smile on his face, as if he remembered Klein's embarrassment when he was kicked out of the dream and returned here to explain his inconsistent behavior.

I once suspected that you did it yourself... Klein muttered inwardly, sensing the slow and unstoppable collapse of the dream around him, and continued to ask:
"After 'Origin' found that he could not possess the man in the mirror and gave up the chance of resurrection, did this confrontation really end?"

"Of course not." The smile on Angel's face disappeared, and his tone gradually became serious. "Even if the original will gradually dissipates, His spirit will not be destroyed. I can win a hundred times, a thousand times, and He only needs to win once."

“I will find a way to both confront and merge with Him, and use His own power to delay the arrival of this ending.

"It's not just the Prime Creator. Pillars like the Lord of Mysteries and God are probably the same. In my dream, I felt that God's consciousness appeared once, but disappeared very quickly... He was probably worried about the Prime's revival, so he provided me with secret help in this matter."

The Lord of Mysteries is also like this... so the Heavenly Lord will be like this too... Klein was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he sighed and asked:

"You already...know that you are the 'man in the mirror'?"

Angel did not hesitate as he had guessed, but nodded with a smile:
"Oh, I see.

"I discovered it from various clues, and from her actions that asked me to accommodate the uniqueness and rebuild the mirror world as quickly as possible."

Seeing the smile that reappeared on Angel's face, Klein felt his chest twitch. He asked cautiously:

"Don't you feel...lost?"

"Not this time." Angel tilted his head to make his smile more natural. "Whether it's the 'man in the mirror' or the consciousness created by Adam, I am myself."

"Besides, you won't dislike me for this?"

As she spoke, her eyes stayed on Klein's face, as if she was waiting for something.

I thought she would be like she was last time in Bayam, provoked by Adam... Could it be that Adam deliberately showed up that time just to prepare for this moment? Klein was startled and quickly responded:
"Of course, I said that no matter whether you are real or not, the one I love is you who has always been with me, not a certain identity or a certain name... It's the same now."

At this moment, both of them recalled the memory of the first time Klein said "I love you" in Bayam's hotel suite.

This time, it was Angel, with red cheeks, who took the initiative to open his arms and hug Klein.

The two of them hugged each other in this small world before the dream completely collapsed and disappeared, feeling each other's body temperature and love as the roar gradually approached.

This way, she won't worry about her identity affecting our relationship anymore... Klein relaxed and immediately thought of another question.

He put his lips close to Angel's warm and translucent skin, but at this time his earlobe was red due to congestion, and whispered:
"Then, can you tell me who the male 'mirror man' that appears in the mirror world is?
"I've seen pictures of Cole Granger, and that's definitely not him."

In an instant, the soft body in Klein's arms became stiff.
