Agatha put away her cane in an instant, and then her eyes widened, staring in astonishment and vigilance at the "fake" monster slowly raising its head in front of her, and at this moment, she realized ...This monster made of the element "mud" has mutated.

Some kind of power or will descended into its body, and instantly changed its essence—it has turned into a medium, constantly releasing terrifying power in this dark sewer.

Layers of noise rang out, turning into countless incomprehensible murmurs and roars in her mind. Agatha felt trembling black shadows filled the edge of her field of vision, and countless shadows seemed to spread out in an instant. eyes, this is a sign that her spirit is being polluted - the exhaustion and mental damage accumulated from continuous fighting have weakened her protective ability, making her almost powerless to resist.

But this pollution only lasted for less than two seconds. It seems that the master of the power consciously controlled it, restraining the power escaping from this incarnation—Agatha's senses became clear and stable again. And in this moment of clarity, I realized the "identity" of the person in front of me.

"You are...the one who descended..." She rubbed her forehead and spoke hesitantly.

"It's me," the avatar said. This body made of elemental mud is still wriggling and deforming. It seems that it can't bear too much power. It still can't present a clear and stable image. "Directly Call me Captain—that's what my followers call me."

"Captain?" Agatha frowned. The sequelae of mental pollution made her think a little slowly. The "captain" of the Qing Dynasty, a high-ranking Chaofan of unknown origin may also call himself "captain" just out of interest, this is not something worth investigating.

"Why are you here?" she asked suspiciously.

"I've been looking for you for a long time," Duncan said, "You suddenly disappeared in the city-state, and I judged that you had an accident."

"Are you looking for me?" Agatha was a little taken aback, then raised her head and looked around quickly, "'How's the situation outside?"

"If you mean the 'Frost' in the real world, then everything is business as usual, normal to the point of being abnormal," Duncan shook his head, "Do you know where you are trapped?"

"I...not sure," Agatha supported her body with a cane, and slowly leaned against the wall next to her. She gained a precious moment of safety and must take this opportunity to recover One strength, "Here is another Frost, a Frost completely controlled by 'fakes', there is no sun here, and the connection with the gods is very weak, but there are clues to annihilate heresy activities, I Tracking down one of them, all the way here..."

She stopped, panting slightly, and turned to look at the "Captain".

"A mirror image," said the temporary avatar, "you are trapped in a mirror image of frost."

"Mirror image?" Agatha was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and showed a thoughtful expression, "It turned out to be such a mirror image..."

"They may have copied the entire Frost, including a piece of sea around the Frost, and this mirror image is the source of all the 'fakes,'" Duncan continued. The world is getting closer—this should be the real plan of those Annihilation Cultists.”

Agatha suddenly raised her head: "You mean..."

"The 'fakes' frequently appearing in the city-state, the duplicated Haiyan, the disappearing Dagger Island, and even your trapping are all the result of 'mirror mirror frost, constantly approaching' reality frost—annihilation The purpose of the believers was not to invade or destroy the city from the very beginning, Agatha, what they want is to transform the whole city into the prophesied 'country,'"

"...At a certain moment, the approaching mirror image will collide with reality..." Agatha took a breath and muttered to herself, she had already thought of it That possibility, "No wonder, no wonder that heretic said that when the Guardians found the 'Sanctuary,' that's when their plan succeeded...

···That moment is the moment when the mirror image comes into contact with reality! "

"It seems that you already have an idea," Duncan said, "You just said that you found the clues of those cultists here and are tracking them?"

"Yes, I smell their scent - right in the depths of this 'Second Waterway,'" Agatha raised her head, looking in a certain direction deep in the corridor, after a short rest , she had recovered some strength, so she stood up straight again with energy, and walked slowly forward, "There is a heretic, he has been obstructing me, but the longer he entangles, the more he is revealing his whereabouts , I feel very close...,

The avatar under Duncan's control followed Agatha's footsteps.

"I'm very sorry." Agatha who was walking ahead said suddenly.

"Why apologize?"

"Just now... I almost attacked you." Agatha's tone seemed a little embarrassed.

Duncan was taken aback for a moment, and then recalled the scene he saw when he first entered this incarnation—the tin cane in Agatha's hand was only a few millimeters away from his head.

But he thought about it, and it didn't seem like a big deal.

Stronger than Fanna's jump and chop at that time.

"I don't care, and I'm used to it."

"...Are you used to it?"

"One of my followers, when frightened, will suddenly use Jump Hack - sometimes targeting me, though she doesn't do that anymore."

Agatha: "...?"

The young gatekeeper was greatly shocked, and couldn't help guessing how such a suspected ancient **** usually gets along with his followers, and how outrageous, weird, and evil his followers are. exist.

After thinking about it for a long time, the san value is almost empty and I don't want to understand it.

But Duncan didn't care about Agatha's sudden daze and thought. He just continued to walk forward, carefully observing the situation in the corridor along the way.

This is the second waterway of Mirror Frost—obviously, it is very different from the second waterway in the real world.

He stopped in his tracks, and looked thoughtfully at the sewer corridor stretching forward in the dim light.

"What did you think of?" Agatha also stopped, turning around and asking in doubt.

"In the real world, this is a collapsed area, and the road is impassable," Duncan said, with a thoughtful tone, "It seems that in this mirrored frost, the second waterway is intact, and even appears to be in use all the time. Status."

"...Perhaps, it looks like the queen's era," Agatha said hoarsely, "I have noticed that many details of this mirrored frost... seem to be nothing like the scene I am familiar with. , doesn’t look like a modern one.”

Listening to Agatha's analysis, Duncan didn't speak for a while. After a few seconds, he broke the silence: "It seems that I may not be able to accompany you to complete the rest of the road."

Agatha turned around unexpectedly.

She saw that the incarnation of "Captain" was gradually disintegrating. The continuously flowing and deformed black mud seemed to carry too much force. , cobweb-like cracks, and between the cracks, there are dark green flames jumping, as if they are going to escape and flow uncontrollably.

She exclaimed subconsciously: "Your body..." "Don't worry about it, this inferior replica can't carry my strength stably, it will collapse sooner or later," Duncan just shook his head with a calm tone , "It's unexpected to be able to persist until I finish talking to you so much."

Then he waved his hand again, stopping Agatha from speaking.

"You are in a bad state and need more help. I will leave some fire here. That fire can strengthen the connection between me and you. You take it and continue to track down the lairs of those cultists. I will continue to help you."

Agatha stepped forward subconsciously, as if she wanted to ask something more, but before she opened her mouth, the avatar that was about to collapse due to too much force reached its limit.

In a sudden green flame, the elemental mud that made up the avatar stopped flowing instantly, and was engulfed by the flames, torn apart, and countless ashes fragments were scattered loudly.

And in the center of the black element remains that were burned to ashes, only a small, finger-sized flame was left in the end.

The flames floated out of thin air in mid-air close to the ground~IndoMTL.com~ Agatha stared blankly at the flames floating near the surface. Frightened and nervous, however, after a moment of hesitation, she took a step forward and bent down slowly.

“…hope this is the right choice.”

She said softly, and recited Bartok's name in her heart, then stretched out her hand, as if she had made up her mind with great courage, and touched the small flame with her fingertips.

The flame is like a mass of weightless petals, held in her hands.

"...It can actually be picked up."

Agatha stared in astonishment at the flame that she had held up in her palm, and at this moment, she felt the connection between herself and the flame.

Weak, wonderful, but it does exist——after a brief trance, she woke up, and carefully protected the flame in the palm of her hand. With the other hand, she raised the scarred cane and walked towards the deepest part of the second waterway go.
