All...are...

Klein was quite shocked. He felt that he must have opened his mouth like a fool now, staring blankly at the silvery white light that lit up like a lamp and stood in a daze.

"However, once night comes and the largest and brightest light source in nature is lost, most creatures without dark vision cannot provide much intelligence help. Moreover, in order to see through the night vision of those night vision creatures, one must also possess

The ability to see in the dark... This is why I want you to come to me during the day."

Alice said, calmly walking towards the hollow pillar. The countless silver mirrors, which were hard to even see at a glance, were lined up side by side, like a silent mime, playing out the thoughts of a certain creature at this moment.

The picture reflected in the eyes.

Seeing this, Klein took a few steps over to follow her.

As if she knew what issue he was most concerned about at this time, Alice said without looking back:

"Now, I will make all the sights of houses with red chimneys in Tingen City remain still... Of course, it does not mean that the scene in the corresponding host's eyes really stops changing, nor does it mean that time in the entire world has stopped passing.

This is just a trivial trick, and the 'permissions' in the meditation hall help me achieve it."

After speaking, she casually pointed to a silver mirror nearby, and then stopped.

"Let's start here, Klein. Just wait a moment and you can start identifying the house you're looking for right away."

"This, this is so convenient..." Klein turned his head and looked at the real and clear street scene in front of him, as if he was personally present at the scene, and couldn't help but sigh.

It is simply a different world’s black technology version of satellite positioning, and it can also zoom in to see the real scene. The function is so powerful and abnormal!

He heard Alice chuckle, and without saying anything more, she closed her eyes and intertwined her hands to make a complex gesture with symbolic meaning.

With the help of mystical knowledge, Klein could vaguely see that this had the nature of "change" and "gaze", but he was unable to decipher the complete meaning behind this symbol.

But soon, he no longer bothered to study her gestures at this time.

The gold-rimmed white coat on Alice's body rose up without the wind, and was stretched out by something invisible in defiance of gravity. Her long hair, which was not tied up, also floated up in the air, like water plants immersed in the sea.

Maintaining a suspended state, its light golden color is translucent and bright, as if it is glowing by itself.

He was a little dazed for a moment. It wasn't until the expression of the face that was so beautiful that it no longer felt real changed and he made a sound that he reluctantly turned his attention to the left hand side. The face gradually appeared and froze in a building.

On the silver mirror that looks like the exterior of a residential building

"Currently locked...531 houses with red chimneys...the number continues to increase, 619, 735..."

Between the neatly arranged rows of hollow columns, the pattern on the surface of the silver mirror is constantly changing and distorting dynamically, and then being shaped into the shape of a house, as if someone pressed the button to switch the slide.

The screen displays photos of various houses taken from different angles and directions.

The total number of pictures is still gradually increasing as Alice calmly counts.

"873 houses, 982 houses... By the way, Klein, you want to investigate the housing in the entire Tingen city? Does this also include suburban areas?"

"Ah...well, yes, including the suburbs."

She suddenly called her name, and after a brief moment of confusion, Klein immediately realized: There is such a useful plug-in foreign aid, how can it be wasted so easily! You must make the best use of it!

This is what I paid for by selling myself for a month...

While he was groaning, he saw that Alice did not reply, but nodded lightly, and then continued to keep her windbreaker and hair in a floating state, and counted the targets that matched the description from the "mirror" she saw.

"——1326 families, 1574 families, 1725 families..."

The further back she reported the number, the faster the girl's calculations seemed to speed up. She could usually directly cross a number of around two hundred, so not long after, Klein heard the number spit out from her mouth freeze in one.

It was so huge that he was a little intimidated.

"There are a total of 2152 houses with red chimneys that match your description. Among them, 1179 are distributed in Tingen City, 546 in the suburbs, and 427 are scattered in various towns headed by Ramd... Well, there should be none...

missed."

After finishing speaking, Alice opened her eyes. Her windbreaker and raised hair returned to their normal state, hanging down snugly in front of and behind her body.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Klein seemed to see that the moment she opened her eyes, her eyes that were supposed to be green seemed to be dyed with other colors.

Forget it, this is not the focus of his attention now...

After secretly suppressing his emotions of curiosity and surprise, Klein suddenly felt dizzy and tired in advance just by looking at the almost endless array of silver mirrors in front of him.

With so many houses, if you really want to check them one by one in reality, you have to find out when to go there...

Thank the goddess, ah no, thank Alice, thank you for the magical magic of another world!

He had the intention of tapping four times on his chest and drawing a crimson moon out of it, but after thinking about it carefully, he was now in Alice's Kingdom of Mirrors, and his life and death were probably all decided by the witch from this other world, so why not?

It would be better to do something unnecessary.

After using meditation techniques to recall the scenes he saw in dream divination, Klein cheered up and devoted himself to the boring work of identifying the corresponding houses.

Time passed bit by bit. When staring at the exterior scenes of houses projected on the surfaces of those silver mirrors, he almost had the illusion that "this one is very similar" and "that one is also a bit similar." Klein rubbed his temples tiredly and said:

This relieves the phantom pain like pins and needles in the head.

It seems that I am still not strong enough or durable enough. I have just checked hundreds of houses and I am already feeling dazzled...

At the same time, Alice selected the corresponding houses from the eyes of all the creatures inside and outside Tingen City, and it seemed that nothing happened...

No, this is different. She only needs to see a house that matches the description and can take a screenshot, but I have to carefully identify each house and compare it with the house in my memory.

The workload of the two is different! After all, many of the houses I just saw had chimneys whose color did not match the dark red color in the divination, so they were quickly excluded from the options.

...However, I must admit that Alice's strength is really a bit outrageous, at least I never thought she could achieve this level before.

While Klein was thinking silently, he heard a light girl's voice coming from far away from the other side of the empty hall.

"Tired? Do you want to come over and take a rest?"

Klein estimated his progress. At present, he has browsed more than 500 houses, and the number has reached a quarter of the total. It would not be a bad idea to take a short break.

So he raised his voice slightly and began to walk in the direction he came from while responding:

"OK."

But when he came to the place where he probably set out, he looked at Miss Witch, who was sitting in a casual but graceful posture. He looked at the patterned cloth spread on the ground that looked like a picnic cloth, and the clothes on the picnic cloth.

There was a wooden basket with sandwiches, a teapot, teacups and coasters. Klein was suddenly and eerily silent for several seconds, and then asked in a difficult tone:

"You...you brought these things in?"

This is obviously a mysterious and strange mirror world, but she prepared these props and food with the mentality of going out for a picnic...

"No? Because I already had a feeling that this afternoon would be very boring." Alice looked up at him, answered confidently, and turned the page of the book she was reading.

Through the title page cover of the thick-covered book, Klein recognized a few special terms in herbal medicine, and then suddenly thought of the day after tomorrow... Oh, no, he will suffer the torture of testing the medicine tomorrow night...

Hey, wait, I almost forgot, I am now an official member of the Nighthawks, and I will be on duty at Chanis Gate all day every Saturday, and tomorrow is Saturday... Then I don't have time to make medicinal herbs with her.

experiment!

Why is my memory getting worse and worse? Is it infected by the captain?

While silently complaining about himself, Klein spoke rather awkwardly and told Alice that he would work overtime at the company tomorrow night.

"Working overtime... there's nothing you can do about it, but you can't make excuses to escape the day after tomorrow, otherwise -"

The girl's eyes moved around Klein several times, making him sweat. She hurriedly raised her hands to promise that she would not break her promise. Then she barely passed the test and received a slight nod from her.

"I hope you remember what you said...Okay, don't just stand there, why don't you have some afternoon tea?"

In fact, Klein had already seen from the number of teacups on the picnic cloth that the meal in front of him had obviously taken him into consideration, but when she actually said the invitation to afternoon tea, he was happy to pretend to be reserved.

"Do I have a share too?"

"Of course." She smiled unconvincingly.

To put it bluntly, to shirk it is because he is ignorant.

So Klein sat down in a decent posture, thanked the girl who lowered her eyes to read about medicinal herbs, then picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of fragrant scented tea. He took a few sips to moisten his throat, and immediately reached out to

The neat and tempting basket of sandwiches.

"...This couldn't have been done by you yourself, right? Or was it conjured by magic?"

Considering that the DND spells he knew seemed to include water creation and food creation, Klein couldn't help but ask.

"Cooked by yourself? That must be impossible. What are you thinking..." Alice glanced up at him, ruthlessly breaking some unrealistic illusions, "My cooking skills, um, cooking level...

I can only say that I bought these when I passed by the bakery."

Well, if it’s not, then it’s not, as long as it tastes good.

Klein took a bite of the fragrant white bread stuffed with fresh vegetables, fried eggs and cooked meat, and was almost moved to tears.

——This is white bread toast. It tastes infinitely better than brown bread and oatmeal bread!

Alas, the food that I was tired of eating before time travel is no longer cheap food that ordinary families can afford every day in this era. When will our family be able to use white bread as a staple food, and we will be out of poverty...

The mental exhaustion made Klein feel hungry, and he quickly ate several sandwiches in a row, emptying nearly half of the full small bamboo basket.

Just as he picked up the tea cup with satisfaction and savored the fresh scent of scented tea, Alice gently closed the book in her hand, put it next to her, took a sip of tea, put down the saucer, and began to watch him quietly.

.

Uh, do you have anything to say to him?

Klein subconsciously put down the tea cup and straightened his sitting posture, as if recalling the embarrassment of being caught by the teacher and deserting in class when he was a student:
To be continued...
