Mysterious Resurrection: I am practicing magic in troubled times

Chapter 123 Purpose
On the dark red wooden bed in the mirror, a cotton quilt covered with blue-black mold spots lifted up out of thin air, hanging in the air and constantly surging like ocean waves.

Zhang Qian had already walked around to the side of the wooden bed. He kept scanning his eyes while observing the changes in the mirror image and the real object, trying to find any inconsistency.

But the more he observed, the more certain he became about his guess.

"It's exactly the same... whether it's the timing of jumping or the arc of the folds, there's no difference at all."

The mirror is like a gap connecting to another world. Everything there is the same as the outside world. The only difference is that there is no figure of Zhang Qian inside.

No matter how sophisticated the magic is, it is impossible to completely predict the behavior of the audience. Even Zhang Qian himself cannot reproduce the motion trajectory of the quilt, and how can the possible "person" do it.

"If it's not a prank, it should be some kind of supernatural phenomenon... a supernatural event. Is this a ghost ship?"

Inexplicably, Zhang Qian's reaction was much calmer than he imagined.

It's like the evil ghost exists as it should be, but it's just not known to the public.

"But shouldn't a normal ghost story involve an extra person in the mirror? Why is it that even my own reflection is missing when I'm here?"

The strange scene did not bring much fear to Zhang Qian. A normal person would definitely stay away as much as possible when encountering such a situation, but instead he got closer and felt a strong curiosity.

Other things can be reflected, which means there is nothing wrong with the mirror. So, could it be you who have the problem?
Glancing at a few things lying on the bedside, Zhang Qian grabbed them and brought them to the mirror.

The mirror surface was a little mottled, but the blurry mirror image did not change at all. There was still only an empty room, and there were no objects flying in the air.

"Sure enough, nothing related to me can be reflected. This is normal. Otherwise, there would be a set of clothes standing in the mirror now."

"So it's really not the mirror that's the problem, it's just my own problem that I can't be reflected?"

It was obvious that he was out of tune with the surrounding environment and was probably an intruder or outsider.

The mirror is also part of this environment, so it cannot reflect him as an outsider.

"What purpose would prompt me to come to such a weird place..."

Zhang Qian touched the cold pistol.

Carrying such a dangerous thing with him means that he has been exposed to supernatural events before and knows that this place may be dangerous.

"Not just losing memory, but also possibly encountering other things..."

The loss of memory this time was probably an emergency, otherwise I would have no reason not to prepare.

A pistol has no effect on symptoms such as memory loss. You can't shoot yourself in the brain, right?

This gun must be prepared for unknown dangers in supernatural events.

"But the characteristics of gold are not suitable for use as weapons. Gold plating on the surface can also be interpreted as personality. Using gold as a warhead is a waste."

"Unless gold has a special meaning to these supernatural events...is it to fight ghosts?"

Zhang Qian felt a little headache at the moment.

All these situations indicate that supernatural events are real, and that I have been one of the insiders before.

But the ship erased his memory, leaving him now forced to rely on guesswork to piece together the truth.

"Obviously I still remember most of the common sense and can clearly understand the world. But I can't remember the memories about myself and the supernatural..." Not only all the information, but also the purpose of coming in.

The environment here is not safe. He encountered this strange mirror image in just one room. How many rooms are there in the entire ship, and how many supernatural events are waiting for him?
Although there are no dangerous ghosts encountered so far, it is impossible for a ghost to stay where it is. As time goes by, the probability of being found will also increase...

"We must act as soon as possible. We cannot stay in this place any longer."

He took a look at the pistol's magazine.

The magazine is fully loaded, but it only has seven rounds.

With this small amount of stock, it was difficult for Zhang Qian, who had lost his memory, to hit the target, let alone deal with the entire ship's ghosts.

Weighing the gun body, I found that the weight was very heavy on my hand, much heavier than iron of the same volume.

"It seems that this is not simply gold-plated. Most parts should be made of pure gold. The price should be very expensive. If you can afford this kind of gun, you should also be able to afford more gold bullets."

"But I didn't bring a backpack of bullets, I just brought a symbolic magazine, so before I entered here I knew that I didn't need to face too many evil ghosts."

"My target shouldn't be all the ghosts in the entire ship, it's probably just a special target among them."

On a ship, regardless of the identity of the passengers, the most special person should be the captain, right?
"But what am I going to do with the captain? Do I want to kill it?"

Zhang Qian glanced at the pistol in his hand and didn't quite believe in the power of this thing.

A ghost ship loaded with so many ghosts is definitely not simple. The captain who controls this ghost ship must be the most terrifying existence in it.

After weighing his own strength, he set his sights on a few other items.

"Two letters, a candle, and a lighter. These things seemed a little strange before, but if they were involved in supernatural events, they might have unexpected effects."

The candle and lighter should be a set. The scarlet candle looks very unusual, probably some kind of special prop.

But there is something strange about these two letters.

"Being able to be placed close to your body means that these two letters should be very important."

"But why do you need to carry a letter when dealing with supernatural events? Could it be that the purpose of my entering here is to deliver a letter?"

Other things have no direction and cannot point the direction for Zhang Qian.

Only these two envelopes seemed to provide some clues.

He picked up the envelope and looked at it carefully.

There is no difference in appearance between the two letters. They are both the same deep yellow color and look very simple. There are no patterns or lines on the surface.

Even the names of the recipient and sender were not written, and the place where the stamp should have been was blank, unlike ordinary envelopes with a reserved box.

After going back and forth several times, Zhang Qian still couldn't find the clues he wanted.

And after a little rubbing, you can see that the envelope is very thin, making people wonder whether it is hollow inside.

Otherwise...open it and take a look?
