Duncan has indeed cast a spark on the mirrored Frost City--but he feels that it is not enough.
He could clearly feel that Frost's situation this time was different from that of Prand, the fire he cast did not spread rapidly on the "other side of the mirror", and his own perception of fire was also very different Great weakening and interference - he guessed that this may be because of the natural barriers in the world "on both sides of the mirror", or because there is actually no accurate correspondence between the mirror image and the real world, and those misplaced parts are interfering with his judgment .
No matter what the reason is, he needs to find a way to strengthen the connection between himself and Tinder, and strengthen the connection with the White Oak and Agatha.
During the conversation, Fan Na suddenly showed a thoughtful expression: "Speaking of the mirror image... Are you sure you saw the figure of the gatekeeper in the reflection of the glass, yes Is it?"
"Of course I'm sure."
"This is a bit strange..." Fan Na frowned, "If she is really trapped in that mirror world, why is there still no news about the city-state? For the sake of peace of mind, the news was blocked, at least the cathedral and the city hall will take some other actions..."
She paused when she said this, and summed up based on her own experience: "Secret searches, martial law in a specific area, changes in the frequency and distribution of guards' night patrols.
Even when the news is blocked, these details can be observed, but I have been active in the city-state with Mr. Morris for a long time today, and I haven't noticed any changes in this regard. "
Nina, who was reading a book, suddenly raised her head: "Maybe it's because the gatekeeper disappeared not long ago, and the city-state hasn't reacted yet?"
"...If that's the case, Frost is really rotten beyond cure," Fanna shook her head seriously, "But based on my observations during this period, although this city-state has Definitely in recession, but otherwise not so bad, the church and town hall are at least in order."
"Perhaps we will observe the change of the atmosphere in the city-state during the day tomorrow." Duncan said casually, but just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a heavy touch on his arm, interrupting what he wanted to say.
Shirley had already turned upside down, hitting his head on his arm, snoring evenly.
But in the next second, before Duncan could react, he saw the girl wake up from her sleep, and Agou, who was dozing off at the foot of the sofa, was thrown to her Mid-air: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."
Shirley didn't stutter "I'm sorry" until the end, and Duncan heard a loud "bang", Agou, who was thrown into the air just now, fell to the ground, and the latter turned upside down, the dog's head buzzing "What's the situation, what's the situation, it's a fight?"
Then it realized that the atmosphere around it was a bit weird. When it looked up, several eyes fell on itself and Xue Li strangely.
"It's not a fight, Shirley has fallen asleep." Duncan smiled and sighed, looking at Shirley who was still tense, "It's okay, go upstairs to sleep, minors must make sure You need to get enough sleep—Nina, stop reading, it’s time for bed.”
"Oh." Nina reluctantly put away the half-read book, got up and grabbed Shirley who was still nervous, and the two walked to the second floor holding hands.
Duncan watched the two girls disappear on the stairs, then turned his gaze, and nodded to Fanna: "Tomorrow, you and Morris go to the upper town to see if there is any atmosphere on the cathedral. If possible, inquire about the city hall’s reaction—even today, Frost City Hall’s presence has always been very low, and I’m curious as to what they are doing.”
"Okay," Fanna nodded, and then she was a little curious, "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"
"I'm going to go to the Second Waterway again, and go there with Alice," Duncan said casually, "Let's go and see the corridor where the crow happened at that time—since it is now speculated that there is a 'Mirror Mirror Frost', and at that time It is very likely that the crow has entered there by mistake, maybe we can find some new lines from that corridor
Search. "
Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, is Alice still tidying up in the kitchen?"
"It seems to be," Morris said as he got up and turned around, "she really stayed in the kitchen for too long... Could it be that her head fell in a corner and got stuck and couldn't be taken out?"
"It's really worrying... I'll go and have a look." Duncan sighed helplessly, got up and left the sofa and went to the kitchen.
As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, he saw the Gothic doll standing by the sink—she didn't lose her head as Morris guessed, but she was looking up at a weird angle, staring blankly staring at the corner of the ceiling.
Probably because she was too involved, Alice didn't hear Duncan's footsteps, she just stared blankly at the direction where there was nothing, then stretched out her hand holding a kitchen knife to fiddle with the air, and then Changed direction again, and continued poking at the air—like trying to catch an invisible fly.
The gothic puppet cuts the air with a dull expression on its face in the kitchen. There will also be an organ-style bg-Duncan finally couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
Wow!
Alice was startled for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to support her head—but she forgot that she was still holding a sharp knife in her hand, so in the next second, there was only a "poof", She stabbed herself in the forehead with a knife.
With a sound of "Qaba", the head was poked off by herself.
Although he usually sees the scary and unreliable appearance of this puppet, Duncan was still dumbfounded at this moment. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Alice's precarious body, and then saw the latter in a hurry She waved her arms wildly - she was still holding the sharp kitchen knife, and the tip of the knife poked her own head. After waving it several times, she realized belatedly, and hurriedly Holding his head with his left hand, he pulled the kitchen knife from his forehead with all his strength with his right hand.
Then the puppet fumbled and threw the kitchen knife aside, held its head and pressed it on its neck with ease, and returned it to its original place after a "Bo'er".
"You scared me!" Alice turned her head and looked at Duncan a little aggrieved, but soon her eyes were attracted by the thing on Duncan's arm, "...Captain, this The knife looks familiar."
Duncan held the handle of the kitchen knife on his arm expressionlessly (sometimes it was also blocked by the bandage), pulled it out and threw it aside: "Nonsense, this is what you **** on your body just now."
"...I'm sorry!" The doll suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to check the situation, "Are you okay? Do you want to bandage it?"
"No, it's a corpse anyway." The corner of Duncan's mouth twitched, but his eyes fell on Alice's forehead.
Miss Doll was stabbed on the forehead by herself just now, leaving a huge wound, but at this moment, the wound is healing at a speed visible to the naked eye - there is no blood in the wound, only warmth Like the cut surface of jade, and after just a few breaths, it was restored to its original state.
Alice was a little embarrassed by Duncan's gaze, and subconsciously touched her face: "Why do you keep looking at me..."
"...What kind of material are you made of?" Duncan frowned, and reached out to touch the place where Alice was injured just now, but what he heard was similar to skin, but cold and lacking in vitality, " You just had a hole in your head, you know that?"
Alice was stunned for a moment, raised her hand to touch her forehead, and replied in a daze: "It's grown."
"Of course I know it's grown!"
"...I don't understand," Alice shook her head, "I don't know what material I'm made of...but it doesn't seem to be wood or ceramics..."
Duncan held back for two seconds, twitching the corners of his mouth: "I shouldn't expect to get any answers from you—forget it, let's not talk about this, what were you doing just now? Why are you staring at the ceiling in a daze?"
"There are wires," Alice replied honestly, "some wires popped up just now--but now they pop up again
It's gone. "
Duncan's expression changed instantly: "Line?!"
Alice can see special "lines~IndoMTL.com~ and these lines represent "people"!
"That's right," Alice nodded with a serious face, "I'm also curious as to why there are cables popping up, and there's no one else here... But I remember what you taught, you can't just grab someone else' line
So I used a kitchen knife to fiddle with it just now..."
Duncan didn't pay attention to what the puppet said in the second half of the sentence. His attention was already on the "lines" that Alice mentioned that suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
His gaze quickly scanned the kitchen, looking for everything that might be connected to the "mirror image".
The glass on the window, the stagnant water in the pool, the blade of the kitchen knife—these all seem to be used to establish a relationship with the mirrored space, but none of them appear abnormal.
But Duncan believed in Alice, she would not lie.
At a certain moment just now, the mirrored frost intersected with the reality here—maybe it was only a very, very weak and brief intersecting, but it was enough for the puppet to catch the thread "floating" from there.
