Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 14: Like a mirror, reflecting what you see

The gloomy and dark sky blew silently with a wind that was chilling to the bone marrow.

It is like applying a bottle of thick ink, covering the entire dome with a curtain, blocking all temperature and light sources.

And above such a sky.

A fox-eared girl wearing a shrine maiden's costume was standing in mid-air with a calm expression.

The long crystal blue hair hanging by her ears fluttered in the wind, her cut sleeves fell naturally, and the small mirror pendant tied around her waist swayed gently from side to side.

The sky was filled with eerie black fog, and the ground was littered with the corpses of dead entities. Faint veins of blood continued to rise from their flesh and blood, merging with the black fog.

These black mists mixed with the eerie blood color seemed unable to accept that their territory was being invaded by others.

It transformed into a raging evil wind and rushed towards the fox-eared girl standing in the sky.

The fox-eared girl didn't even glance away.

This large amount of sticky blood mist seemed to be reflected by a bright mirror in the sky where she was standing, and then hit the same mist.

She collapsed and dissipated without even being able to struggle, and no one could get close to her even half a meter away.

In a dark sky.

The only thing that remains is the spotless figure of this fox-eared girl, the clean and flowing crystal blue hair, and the ethereal witch costume swaying in the wind.

Like the moonlight reflected on the calm lake, it became the only snow-white color.

"It's been a long time since I came back here."

Standing in the sky, the fox-eared girl lowered her light golden eyes and gazed down at the ruins scattered across the earth.

She looked at the desolate land under the night sky.

It was like reading from the smudged ink that words that had been buried by time, a past that no one could remember anymore.

At that time.

High-rise metal buildings are still being built here, and an orderly command center is set up here.

Soldiers from the front line would come back for replenishment every day, and the dead lives were just groups of numbers, not even enough to carve them on stone tablets.

However, even so, no one was immersed in sorrow and grief.

They remembered the names of the dead, then put on their armor again and rushed to the next battlefield, running at full speed in silence in an orderly manner.

The buildings in the city at that time might have been in ruins under the most violent attack of the Broken Space and Time.

But a fiery and resolute will.

This area has never been engulfed by the dead silence and coldness as it is now.

".Yes, that was a long time ago, a very long time ago for humans."

The fox-eared girl spoke softly in a hollow voice, "I originally thought that I would never set foot in this area again."

"After all, during these decades of cooperation, those were the humans that person had sacrificed himself for, even at the cost of his own life, to save."

“I never used the word ‘request’ once to ask me to clean up the broken space-time.”

A brief pause.

The fox ears on the girl's head moved slightly, and the corners of her delicate lips, like cherry blossoms, curled up slightly, revealing a bright and sarcastic smile.

She whispered, "Apparently, this is the only thing that person asked me to do for this civilization when he first summoned me."

Even if Mirror Spirit Fox has arrived at the scene.

And they can fight at any time and clear out all low-level entities on the scene.

But she had no intention of entering the town where the target person was and communicating with the local spirit masters and humans.

She needs no thanks, no awe, no fear, and no honor.

For the fox-eared girl.

Apart from that person, she didn't want to be with other humans.

No, to be precise, I don't want to talk to any creature with a mind.

It's like a mirror on calm water.

It can reflect the invisible wind, the wild geese flying across the sky, and all kinds of people with different joys and sorrows.

But a mirror is just a mirror.

It just reflects what you see, and nothing can remain in the mirror forever.

It’s not that she wants to communicate or not, but the simple fox-eared girl thinks that her conversation with those people is meaningless and it will only be a chance encounter.

Wait until you leave.

She will still return to her own space and become a mirror reflecting meaningless illusions.

The reason why she accepted the cleaning request from the person in charge was that for the first time in more than 20 years, she took the initiative to offer to "assist beyond the agreement" and work extra overtime for herself.
It is only because of this place that it is now called the border of the E-026 area.

Only the afterimage of where she once stood remains.

For the fox-eared girl, this task had no other unnecessary meaning.

just.

Pure whim.

"Judging from the erosion and pollution around here, will it take at least three days before the debris from the sky falls and turns this land into soil for demons to wreak havoc?"

The fox-eared girl looked up at the phantom of the city reflected in the sky.

As time goes by bit by bit.

The number of entities on the earth continued to increase, and some entities like the "Cursed White Walkers" began to kill each other, fighting to create a ghost king like raising a Gu.

And in the world view rules of [Demon and Ghost Realm].

The more souls that die, the stronger the power of some kind of intangible curse will become.

The thin afterimage of the city in the sky, which was like a mirage and could disappear at any time, now looks like lines whose outlines are being traced over and over again.

The eerie and silent shape became more and more realistic.

And in the center of the whole city.

The bloody shrine and the upside-down torii gate seemed to be stained with the blood of tens of thousands of lives, and the scarlet color was even more shocking.

"It will take another three days." The fox-eared girl seemed bored, and her eyes casually swept across the twisted shapes on the ground that were roaring and screaming at her.

The tail moved slightly.

He sighed in boredom, "I should have done more preparation before coming here."

As if to her.

The city that was on the verge of collapse and the demons that were brewing inside were not as important as having to wait here for three days.

Now that the time has been confirmed.

She had no intention of continuing to stand in the sky and wasting time like a punishment.

His eyes swept towards the direction of the town.

Although, she thinks that conversations with other humans are meaningless.

But since she had accepted the task, it was part of the cooperation that she had accepted herself.

Well, at least as a minimum - I should go find the local spirit master and ask him to confirm that I have arrived at the scene.

Just as Mirror Spirit Fox was casually having this thought.

Her vision.

I saw many figures hurriedly coming up on the city wall.

Those old men didn't know her identity. Everyone thought that a "special individual" had appeared, and at this moment they were holding their weapons tightly with serious expressions.

In the eyes of the fox-eared girl, those people were filled with nervousness, pervasive hostility, and subconscious admiration for her ethereal temperament.

They are all insignificant reflections that can be ignored.

until.

In her golden eyes, she saw a black-haired boy behind the group of old men who were forming a defensive formation.

The young man was also looking up, looking in her direction, his expression filled with complexity and uncertainty, and seemed to be a little hesitant and distressed.

He whispered something softly.

As for the legendary spirit 'Mirror Soul Fox' who can reflect everything he sees and hears.

Just in sight.

No matter how far away they were, the voice could be heard clearly in her ears.

The young man whispered.

"Xing Jian Jingli. Could it be you?"

"—"

The fox-eared girl always maintained a calm expression, and her light golden pupils were as peaceful and calm as the surface of water blown by the wind.

In the stunned state, ripples were created.

It was like a valley that had been closed for so long suddenly opened up, and strong winds blew in endlessly.
