Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 118 Intelligence Investigation
The mirror magician teleported over, reached his hand directly into the clothes, and shook out a piece of soft cloth made of mirror material from the space on the other side, and rolled it towards Xia Shou like waving a magic cloak.

Before Xia Shou could adjust his position, the mirror cloth fell over his head.

The next second, Xia Shou found that he was no longer in the kitchen, but was teleported to another place.

It was surrounded by cold black iron bars, like a prison, but outside the bars there was a raging flame. Once his body got close, the high temperature flames would evaporate his blood into a bloody mist.

Although he could convert the blood mist back into liquid, its efficiency was far less than high-temperature evaporation, which made it impossible for him to escape from here in liquid form.

"That supernatural power can be used in this way." Xia Shou exclaimed.

The opponent's abilities are not only flexible and varied, but also very useful.

I really want it.

But judging from the current situation, he has lost.

His exploration could no longer proceed, so he could only look to Su Weiyu.

Xia Shou took out the half-damaged intercom and asked, "Wei Yu, I'm trapped. Have you left your original position?"

The man on the other side gasped and suppressed his fear and replied, "I don't plan to escape."

"Why?" Xia Shou asked in surprise.

He had heard the hair-raising roar just now, and it was obvious that the monster was very close to where Su Weiyu was.

“Gather intelligence. Since you’re trapped, I’ll take a last look at what’s coming. It shouldn’t be coming for me, but for Su Yue… Zizi! Wuaaaaa!!”

Strange roars and harsh electrical noises came from the intercom, and Su Weiyu's voice was intermittent.

"I saw it! It was a man covered in red! He was about three meters tall!
He was also wearing clothes from the Blood Mother Cult, and judging from the style, he was of very high status!

This guy can't see me, but he's also a human being!
He went to Su Yue's room, fuck!"

Xia Shou heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs, then the sound of a sword being drawn out of its sheath, followed by the sound of a wooden door cracking and the screams of a strange girl.

“Xiaoyue! —Sizzle!”

Amid the noise of the electric current and Su Weiyu's roar, Xia Shou heard low dog barking and biting, interspersed with Su Weiyu's groans of pain.

"Damn...die!"

As Su Weiyu uttered her last reluctant words, the scene in front of Xia Shou instantly turned into the woods outside Rollins Church.

...Su Weiyu died.

He also died because of the effect of the burial nails.

Xia Shou looked up and Su Weiyu was also looking at him, waiting for the next instruction.

"We've died before." Xia Shou said.

"Ah?" Su Weiyu frowned and looked at the suitcase beside her, muttering, "It took me a lot of effort to bring these things, but I always feel like they were completely useless."

"Let's go back and gather the intelligence. This place is more dangerous than we thought."

"Have we found my parents and Su Yue?"

“Well, Su Yue has been found, but uncle and aunt haven’t, but there is still a chance.”

The last attempt lasted about forty minutes.

In other words, after forty minutes, the monster might go berserk and attack Su Yue.

But it is almost impossible to stop all this from happening within forty minutes. The Mirror Magician alone is difficult to deal with, and there is no clue about the monster Su Weiyu encountered, not to mention the blood-red monster encountered at the end.

However, Xia Shou has another guess, and the accuracy of this guess is not low.

That was the monster's rampage, not because the time had come, but because their invasion weakened the Blood Mother Cult's control over the monster, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage.

Assuming they hadn't invaded, the Mirror Magician wouldn't have come looking for him. Even if the monsters went berserk, the Blood Mother Cult's people would have been able to contact the Mirror Magician immediately. With the Mirror Magician there, it would have been easy to use the mirror portal to take Su Yue to a safe place. So, it was actually their invasion that caused no one to protect Su Yue.

Xia Shou planned to keep this matter secret from Su Weiyu. This matter could not be changed, and letting her know would only add to her troubles.

The most urgent task is to collect as much information as possible about the Mirror Magician and those dog monsters.

"Let's go back to the Control Bureau."

……

……

"You're back so soon?" Edson was surprised to see Xia Shou. He hadn't even waited for the information about Xia Shou's stronghold before Xia Shou came back.

"Minister Edson, I don't need the police to assist today. I need to investigate some other things. Do you know the mirror magician, the survivors of the Mirror Palace, the walker of Paper Curtain Mountain, and the tailor's apprentice?"

Edson recalled: "I haven't heard of these titles, but I know Mirror Palace, Paper Curtain Mountain, and Tailor. These are low-authority files. You can check them online."

"Thank you." After saying that, Xia Shou walked towards the dormitory without looking back.

He returned to the dormitory, turned on his computer, logged into the intranet, typed in the place names he had just mentioned, and the information immediately popped up.

【Name: Mirror Palace】

[Introduction: The true location of the Mirror Palace is unknown. Due to the ■■■ agreement, the method of entering is added as a confidential annex.

The internal structure of the Mirror Palace is quite similar to the mirror maze in the amusement park, but the internal structure is more complicated, the routes are more three-dimensional, and the mirrors inside the Mirror Palace are smooth and almost frictionless, will not be contaminated by dust, and cannot be attached with any marks. They are also extremely hard and difficult to destroy.

If you accidentally enter the Mirror Palace, you must follow the following rules if you want to survive.

1. If you see yourself in the mirror making movements that are different from your own, please pretend that you didn’t notice them as much as possible. Until the mirror image confirms that you noticed it, it can’t hurt you.

2. If you are traveling with a companion and notice that there is a discrepancy between your companion’s reflection in the mirror and his or her actual movements, please note that the person in front of you is no longer your companion, but please pretend that you have not noticed and try to separate from the other person with a reasonable and acceptable reason.

3. There are resting facilities such as chairs and beds in the Mirror Palace. If you do not stay in the Mirror Palace for a full 24 hours, please do not use such resting facilities.

...]

"It looks like a regular strange area. Why are you checking this?" Su Weiyu moved a chair and sat down next to Xia Shou.

"I encountered a very tough opponent. I want to investigate his background, maybe I can find some unexpected breakthroughs." Xia Shou said as he typed in the name of the next location.

Paper Curtain Mountain.

【Name: Paper Curtain Mountain】

[Introduction: According to legend, the Split Shears killed the Beast Cage here. In many descriptions, Paper Curtain Mountain is described as a mountain range covered with paper. The grass on the ground is paper scraps, and the branches are hung with paper curtains. All the used paper in the world is collected there.

Anything that has been recorded in writing can be found in Paper Curtain Mountain. If a person who strays into it is lucky, he or she can find any information he or she wants to know, as long as the information has been recorded on paper.

Xia Shou then searched for the "Splitting Shears" and "Beast Cage" and discovered that these were two ancient gods. The former was in charge of cutting and splitting, while the latter was in charge of the authority to seal up out-of-control things.

There is an ocean of information about these two gods. Countless criminals who have been arrested all claimed to be believers of these two gods. The relationship between the two gods is also very complicated. In the legend of Paper Curtain Mountain, it was the Scissors that killed the Beast Cage, while in other legends, there are also stories that the Beast Cage imprisoned the Scissors.

"It seems like there is nothing to gain." Xia Shou muttered to himself.

Su Weiyu was rubbing her hands nervously. She knew nothing, so she had no idea what Xia Shou was doing.

But she didn't dare to ask questions to interrupt Xia Shou's thoughts. After all, the rescue operation was against the clock and it concerned the lives of her parents and sister.

Xia Shou typed a few descriptions like "dog-like monster with the same shadow and color blocks" into the search box, but no corresponding results popped up.

Xia Shou tried several times in a row, but to no avail, so he took the Death Recorder Notebook and wrote: [Do you know any monster that looks like a shadow, can appear from any blood stain, and makes a dog-like growl when attacking?]

[It may be an invisible bloodhound, a magical creature created by Grand Duke Rosa. ]
