Chapter 3399 Divine Realm
After listening to the parrot's story, Angel was speechless.
He originally thought that the mirror ghost imitating Luigi had some omnipotent abilities, could read through people's minds, and had everything in his hands.
Unexpectedly, the mirror ghost only relied on some verbal tricks to deceive the parrot and even cheated out the contents of the contract.
Angel's self-proclaimed "high-end" was really just his own idea.
However, the main reason for the wrong guess was that the parrot was too calm before, and the parrot was able to play around with Dao Shen and others, which made Angel think that the parrot was too smart.
I didn't expect that the parrot would have blind spots in thinking when it was excited, ignoring many details and being fooled by others.
Of course, this was also because the parrot and Luigi were not familiar with each other.
After the parrot finished speaking, it was also embarrassed, scratching its scalp and smiling: "I was too eager to leave at that time, and I didn't consider many things."
Angel sighed lightly and said nothing.
Laplace said calmly: "The fanning is actually an instinct engraved in the mirror ghost. They are not inferior to the long-flirting tribe in verbal temptation. In fact, they are more violent in the short-term fanning."
In other words, the parrot was fooled at that time, perhaps not only because it was too excited, but also because the mirror ghost itself mastered the skill of fanning.
Under the influence of many factors, the parrot will become careless and ignore many details.
After listening to Laplace's words, a trace of gratitude flashed in the parrot's eyes. Regardless of whether what Laplace said was true or not, what she said helped him out of the predicament and made him look less stupid.
However, Angel's expression when looking at Laplace was another intriguing one.
Based on Angel's understanding of Laplace, she should not deliberately help the parrot out of the predicament, because in her opinion, this matter was not a big deal and did not need to be solved.
So her words just now were not to help out, so there must be other intentions.
As expected, Laplace paused and continued: "Generally speaking, the fanning of mirror ghosts can't last long."
"Because fanning is just their instinct, not like the long-confusing tribe, which is their verbal skill."
"Moreover, fanning is only useful when the mirror ghost is awake."
But most mirror ghosts have a limited awake time.
Even the intelligent mirror ghosts may only be awake for a few hours a day, and their thinking is down at other times.
"But the light and shadow demon just now seems a little different." Laplace looked up at the parrot: "According to your description, he has been staring at you for a long time, that is, he has been awake all the time, and then he kept calculating you, fanning you, and using tricks to deceive you..."
"If it is a normal mirror ghost, it should have recovered its chaotic thoughts a long time ago, but he still maintains his complete self until now."
"This is incredible."
Laplace's eyes flashed with interest. She has seen mirror ghosts before, but it is rare to see a mirror ghost that can maintain rationality for a long time like this.
The last similar one was the Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen in the Town of Wrathful Women.
The Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen is a special talent that can only be born among millions of Scarlet Lantern Demon Queens.
Could this light and shadow demon be born by chance, just like the Scarlet Lantern Demon Queen?
Angell also understood at this time that Laplace's so-called rescue was actually just because he found the special features of the light and shadow demon and was interested in it.
Thinking of this, Angell said: "Indeed, according to my understanding of mirror ghosts, the light and shadow demon is incredible and seems to be in a rational state all the time."
Angel looked at the parrot: "You just said that you and the light and shadow demon are enemies. I think you should be familiar with it, right?"
The parrot was not stupid either. It immediately understood what Angell meant and hurriedly explained: "The light and shadow demon was originally just an ordinary mirror ghost. It didn't even have self-awareness at the beginning. It was almost the same as the undead in the outside world and was in a state of confusion all day long."
"But later, due to some changes, it became a pawn of some kind of disaster creatures."
"With the help of the disaster creatures , he began to slowly develop self-awareness. "
"Now, it seems that the original consciousness has awakened."
When the parrot said this, he recalled a sentence that the mirror ghost said in front of him before: "In his own words, it is... Under the gift of the great disaster life, his original consciousness has been reborn."
"I don't know what this means specifically, but if you understand it according to his words, it may mean that he has been able to stay awake for a long time."
Angel probably understood what the parrot said. In fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: the originally ignorant light and shadow monster has an independent consciousness with the help of the disaster creatures.
But what is the "disaster creature" in the parrot's mouth?
Faced with Angel's question, the parrot thought for a while and said: "Disaster creatures are blood disasters. That is... the master of blood in the mouth of the light and shadow monster."
At this point, the parrot's expression was slightly hesitant, as if he had something to say, but didn't know whether to say it.
After a while, the parrot seemed to have made a decision. It took a deep breath and said calmly, "In fact, I have no grudge against the Light and Shadow Demon itself. I have a grudge against... the Blood Disaster."
Angel was still confused after hearing this.
It didn't matter whether the parrot explained or not.
Disaster creatures equal blood disasters, and also equal the Lord of Blood. But Angel didn't know what these three names represented...
Laplace said softly: "I roughly know what he said, but... I can't be sure yet."
On the other side, after the parrot mentioned "enemy with blood disaster", it seemed to be lost in some memories and remained silent for a long time.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
The parrot raised its head and looked at Angel and Laplace, with an apologetic look in its eyes: "I am really grateful for your coming, but the disaster creatures are a real disaster, and I don't want you to be implicated by me."
"If possible, I hope you can tell the God of Rice about what I am doing here..."
The parrot wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Angel: "Since we are already here, it is meaningless to say these things."
"As for the matter between the God of Rice and you, you can solve it yourself."
"Now, we are more curious about the blood disaster and the disaster creatures."
The parrot was silent for a moment, and whispered: "If you want to explore my hatred with the blood disaster, the story starts many years ago..."
Angel originally just wanted to ask about the blood disaster, but the parrot seemed to have misunderstood something and talked directly about the process of the hatred with the blood disaster.
Angel thought about it and didn't stop it. Anyway, he finally achieved his goal.
Just one has a process, and the other has only a result.
As the parrot talked about it, Angel gradually understood the reasons behind it.
In wizard years, about thirty years ago, Parrot was still working in a void merchant group, and he got the code name "Parrot" in the void merchant group.
The people in the void merchant group not only have to travel and trade in the void with goods, but they also have other jobs. These jobs include: inspectors, adventurers, escorts, pioneers... and so on.
For example, they will accept other people's travel commissions and take others across the space and time distance to the corresponding destination.
In addition, they will accept commissions from extraordinary people, guilds, and organizations from different worlds to pass messages to people on the other side of the void, or explore and survey some unknown places.
When the reputation of the void merchant group became more and more famous, even those supernova organizations would commission them.
Thirty years ago, Parrot and his team received a commission from the supernova organization, the Order Guild.
The content of the commission is roughly: an inspector who has been stationed in the Deluna plane for many years found that there was a suspected "mysterious phenomenon" and needed the assistance of the Order Guild.
The job of the inspectors is to avoid disasters caused by mysterious disorder.
But the strength of the inspectors in each world is different. In a world where mysteries occur frequently, the inspectors sent out will be stronger; in a world where mysteries occur less frequently, the corresponding inspectors will be weaker.
The probability of mysterious events in the plane of Deluna is relatively low, which also leads to the fact that the strength of the inspectors in the plane of Deluna is not high.
He found the mysterious phenomenon but couldn't deal with it personally.
More importantly, the location of the mysterious phenomenon is a bit special. It is located in the divine domain of a certain god, and he can't even enter it. The news of the "mysterious phenomenon" was even heard by him from the "Sharp Man Tribe" related to this god.
The Order Guild was also embarrassed after hearing the news.
After all, the inspectors did not witness the "mysterious phenomenon" with their own eyes, and it might not be a problem caused by the "mysterious" disorder. It is a bit too hasty to send people like this.
There are not many mysterious hunters, and they are all very busy.
If there is nothing, it would be a wasted trip.
But if they didn't send someone, it would seem a bit remiss.
In the end, the Order Guild contacted a Void Caravan that happened to be in the Deluna plane and commissioned them to help investigate the situation.
If even the people in the caravan thought there was a "mysterious" disorder problem, they would immediately send a mysterious hunter.
At that time, the caravan that took on this commission was the caravan that Parrot was in.
And Parrot happened to be very familiar with the Deluna plane, and often disguised himself to collect magic materials from the Pointed Tribe, so he was arranged by the caravan to investigate the situation.
Of course, Parrot was not alone, he was just one of the 100-man team.
After a lot of efforts, they finally succeeded in entering the God's Domain.
Then they found that this God's Domain originated from a "lost" Outer God, or Beast God.
"Lost" means that it has been missing for a long time, or has fallen.
In short, there are no gods in the God's Domain, but only the power of gods remains.
In this lost divine domain, they found a lot of good things, and even found a very rare spiky fruit tree cultivated with the blood of the beast god.
These spiky fruits have the purest blood of the beast god. Once eaten by people, they can even gain the power of the beast god. It is the top existence among all spiky fruits.
However, it is precisely because of this spiky fruit tree with the blood of the beast god that they encountered the most dangerous thing after entering the divine domain.
They were locked by some unknown phenomenon.
This phenomenon is the "mysterious phenomenon" reported by the inspector. The specific situation is: as long as it does not meet some mysterious rules, the blood in the body will dry up instantly and die as a mummy.
In the eyes of the inspector, this is most likely caused by a mysterious disorder.
However, after the parrot experienced it personally, it can be said with certainty that the phenomenon here has nothing to do with mystery. Because there is no mysterious atmosphere here.
But even if it is judged that it has nothing to do with mystery, it cannot save them.
After all, they didn't know the specific reason why their companions turned into mummies and died one after another.
More than ten people in the team of 100 fell in an instant.
Moreover, in their opinion, the mummification of these people was completely unpredictable, and there seemed to be no signs, which caused a panic.
The captain of the team was an extremely shrewd person. When others were in a mess, he calmly analyzed and reviewed, and finally confirmed one thing.
All the mummified people were in the reflection, refraction and diffraction range of the "mirror".
Or to put it more simply, there must be a mirror around the dead. This kind of mirror is not just the mirror of the mirror, even smooth glass, small puddles, and even marble slabs that can reflect human figures are also included in the mirror.
According to the captain, there is a high possibility that there is a being hidden in the mirror, using the mirror as a springboard to harvest their lives.
If you want to leave safely, you can only move without being projected by the mirror throughout the process.
But this is difficult, because although the gods have been "lost" in this divine domain, there are magnificent decorations everywhere, and everything is as smooth as a mirror.
Most importantly, they can't use space-related abilities or fly in the divine domain.
In other words, they have to walk if they want to leave. But walking is completely unable to avoid being shot by the mirror.
When everyone was hiding in the corner at a loss, it suddenly rained lightly in the sky.
Then... someone died again.
Raindrops can also be used as a tiny mirror.
Obviously, the unknown existence hidden in the mirror is no longer satisfied with relying solely on the existing mirror to kill people. "It" also intends to take the initiative to attack and keep all of them in the divine domain.
Seeing that the situation is getting worse and worse, the captain made a decision: to kill into the mirror.
The other party seems to be restricted by some rules and can only kill one person at a time. In other words, when he kills, others are safe.
As long as "it" kills, others can sneak into the mirror.
The people of the business travel group can do business in the void, so they naturally know about the mirror domain. Although they don't have the ability to enter the mirror domain directly, if there are mirror domain creatures interfering with the outside world, they can use the mirror surface where the other party is to invade the mirror domain.
The captain has always believed that the murderer is a certain mirror domain creature hidden in the mirror domain. When "it" kills people, there will definitely be fluctuations in the mirror surface. As long as the corresponding mirror surface is found, it can invade the mirror domain.
When the other party is killed, their crisis can be completely eliminated.
In the end, the captain really succeeded in finding the entrance to the mirror.
A group of people, including the parrot, killed into the mirror. They thought that as long as they found the murderer, they could survive.
However, what they didn't expect was that behind the mirror was... the dark mirror domain.
