I'm a weird expert in Japan

This skill was originally used in combat to avoid enemy damage and achieve skills similar to teleportation, but it was used to avoid collisions. Lian felt that he had lost face as a vampire.

If you tell anyone about it, you will definitely be laughed at for the whole year.

"I have something to ask you." Hesha stood at the door.

The bathroom is a little distance away from the living room, and Touma Yoko is talking on the phone with her assistant and won't notice this side.

"Can we talk about it after I get out?" Lian simply sat in the bathtub.

Unfortunately, Hesha did not listen to Lian's request, but closed the door slightly and leaned next to the running washing machine.

"Did you find anything?"

"what?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to look in the mirror or something?"

"Oh, that..." Lian said lazily, a little exhausted, "It's a pity that the mirror is just an ordinary mirror. Originally, I wanted to try what would happen if I broke it, but if your mother is at home, you shouldn't do such a thing."

"That's not my mother..." Kazusa retorted with a slightly stubborn tone.

"Why not? She's not a fake. Strictly speaking, she should be considered a reflection of Touma-sensei." Lian reminded helplessly, "Maybe she's different from your mother in many ways, but she's not to the extent of being classified as a fake."

"Yeah."

Hesha responded sullenly.

"Anyway, I've investigated everything that can be investigated. I'll leave after the clothes are washed and dried."

"Go... go to which snake shrine?"

"Northern White Snake Shrine." Lian added, "I'm not going there today."

"Ah."

Touma Kazusa did not raise any questions about this sudden change of mind, which made Lian feel relieved. He was still thinking about how to convince Kazusa to stop here today.

To be honest, although the "all-knowing" teacher Hanekawa Tsubasa gave Ren a feasible plan, there are still many mysteries in this world.

Lian couldn't help but want to act more cautiously.

"I said--" Hesha suddenly spoke.

"what?"

"You seem to be busy with something lately." Hesa ​​said, "Is it related to that weird thing?"

"Eh? Ah..."

Lian had not originally intended to tell Hesha about this matter, but now that they were both on the same boat, there was no need to hide it any longer.

Since we are in the same boat, we should at least show the most basic sincerity.

"That's about it." Lian leaned against the edge of the bathtub. "A lot of things happened—"

In fact, there were only two strange incidents in total, but the parties involved in the two incidents were related to himself to varying degrees, which forced him to start considering the causes of these strange incidents and whether they were related to himself.

"No wonder..."

"No wonder?"

"Nothing, no wonder you're always absent-minded." Kazusa said, "So that's what happened."

She seemed to think that the problems Lian encountered were the same as her current situation.

What a huge misunderstanding.

But it would take more time to explain, so Lian simply put the plan on hold.

"Ahahaha... I don't want to either, but monsters don't appear based on human convenience. They respond to people's wishes and desires according to their own characteristics, and then realize them in a bad way... This is the way most monsters manifest themselves."

"Oh..." Hesa ​​didn't say anything else.

It is actually very tiring to try to understand the existence of strange things rashly. It will be easier only if you experience it yourself.

The conversation fell silent, and soon, Touma and Sa left.

Chapter 147 Chapter 1: The Mirror Garden ()

After using the bathroom at Touma's house to take a shower and wash and dry clothes, Lian said goodbye and left.

Even though Touma Yoko expressed her hospitality by asking him to stay overnight, he showed no sign of giving in. He simply and concisely expressed his gratitude and left leisurely.

Not to mention that staying overnight is not in line with Lian's habits.

He would never stay overnight in a strange place unless it was absolutely necessary.

It's not that it's unsafe, but that I'm not used to it.

Besides, at this moment when Touma and Sa's willingness to act is quite low, Ren also has his own plans.

Before Lian was 100% sure that he could bring that guy from the mirror world back to the real world, he still had a few questions to confirm.

For example now——

He stood on the Shinkansen platform at night.

Due to the reversal of the mirror world, the various operating devices of the car have also been reversed. It takes too much time to get familiar with it. It would be faster to take the train directly.

There is no direct line from Tokyo to Naoetsu, but trains stop at the Naoetsu station several times a day.

From there, to the Kitashiro Snake Shrine, even without navigation, you can rely on the flow of spiritual power to stick to the direction and reach your destination.

Anyway, this is the mirror world, and there won't be any consequences for skipping classes for a few days. Even the real Mr. Hanekawa won't know about it.

The unscrupulous Lian bought a ticket to Naoetsu without considering the time.

After a while, the train arrived at the station. Lian entered the carriage and sat down. She leaned quietly against the window, watching the train start and slowly leave the Tokyo platform.

It takes an hour or two to get from Tokyo to Naoetsu even by train, so take a nap before that.

With this thought in mind, Lian closed her eyes.

But just before I felt I was falling asleep, I was awakened by a pleasant female voice coming from the radio.

"Tokyo, Tokyo, this train is about to arrive at Tokyo Station. Passengers who want to get off, please prepare to get off. Thank you for riding this time--"

The broadcast was still repeating this, and people in the carriage kept standing up and preparing to leave the station, as if the train was destined to arrive in Tokyo.

Only Lian, who was leaving Tokyo, took the wrong train.

He couldn't help but shake his head, wondering if he was too tired, which led to his error in judgement and he got on the train that was about to enter the station.

In that case, the fact that he boarded the Shinkansen at Tokyo Station was itself wrong.

What went wrong?

Lian stood up silently, followed the other passengers, got off the platform, bought a new ticket, and waited for the next train.

Unexpectedly, the next bus, which was supposed to take several hours to arrive, only required ten minutes to wait.

Holding the ticket, Lian stood on the platform, watched the Shinkansen train slowly approaching the station, and walked up silently.

This time he did not fall asleep, but simply stayed awake and watched the scenery outside the car window change.

The scenery from the station changed to the towering buildings of Tokyo. In the dark night, the city lights were far and near, and the windows reflected the lights inside the car. Even with the eyes of a vampire, it was very difficult to observe the outside.

But Lian still tried his best to stay focused and pay attention to every slight change.

This time he saw it clearly, just like the toy train in a simulated bonsai, the Shinkansen left Tokyo Station for only five minutes before it suddenly returned to the scene near the East Entrance of the Station.

At first Lian thought she had seen it wrong.

After all, he himself is a person with poor sense of direction and can hardly remember the way.

Modern cities are actually quite similar, and if you don’t live in a place for a long time, you won’t notice the subtle changes right away.

Unfortunately, this luck was shattered in an instant.

"Tokyo, Tokyo, this train is about to arrive at Tokyo Station. Passengers who want to get off, please prepare to get off. Thank you for riding this time--"

The radio in the car started playing the pleasant female voice again.

Back to the beginning.

Lian covered her cheeks and slowly adjusted her breathing.

His heart rate wasn't actually speeding up, but the situation made him lose some of his composure.

The train that was supposed to leave Tokyo for Naoetsu ended up circling around the same place.

It's like entering a forest with no roads and unable to find the exit.

He glanced at every passenger around him. Except for him, no one had any unusual reaction, as if they had taken this Shinkansen to return to Tokyo.

Just like the group of people just now, they packed their luggage in an orderly manner, stood up and walked towards the door of the carriage one after another, and left the train.

There's no point in staying here any longer.

Lian was the last one to leave the carriage. After returning to the platform he had left a few minutes ago, he took out his cell phone and compared it with his ticket.

Time is indeed moving forward.

The departure time of the first ticket is 20:49 and the departure time of the second train is 21:03. The interval between the two trains shall not exceed fifteen minutes.

This was not at all what he knew about the intervals between Shinkansen trains to Naoetsu.

The time now is 21:05.

In order to confirm that the time on his mobile phone was not wrong due to entering outside the signal circle, he looked up and compared the time with the electronic clock on the platform. The error between the two was no more than ten seconds.

This is the range of error that most people can accept when adjusting a watch.

Lian went to the ticket office again and checked the time of the next Shinkansen.

As expected, the departure time is 21:16, and the interval is still no more than fifteen minutes.

No one in the station noticed anything unusual; the conductor, passengers, and station staff, everyone was doing their own thing as if it was supposed to be so.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people came in and out of the station, and Lian didn't know how long she had been standing there.

I looked up and noticed that the time on the clock in the station had moved to 21:39.

During this period, the station will repeat the entry notification every once in a while.

As soon as the previous train left, the next one slowly came into the station.

He clenched the ticket in his hand and crumpled the ticket stub into a ball.

Now, the Four Ripples have confirmed a horrible fact.

This is not just a mirror world.

It is still a "small garden", a small garden image projected based on the Tokyo in the mirror.

No matter which way you go, no matter where you go.

There was no way either he or Touma Kazusa could leave Tokyo.

Even if you take a plane, the result will be the same.

After taking off, they suddenly landed again, repeating this meaningless fact over and over again, just to trap them in Tokyo, trapped in this real bonsai with a 1:1 ratio.

Who on earth did such a thing?

What kind of weirdness could be so large?

Lian stood on the staircase platform at the exit, looking at the interior of the station below.

"Finally I found you. I couldn't find you at school or at home. I almost walked all over this huge city."

An expressionless, emotionless, and flat voice sounded.

Atonoki Yujie stood at the top in a daze.
