With this investment, Klein was busy until the evening when the sun set.

"We can probably only get here today..." He exhaled, sighing with regret, and then reluctantly cheered up, "Fortunately, we have checked nearly half of the houses today, and it seems that we have already sorted out all the houses distributed in the city.

That part is confirmed..."

Unfortunately, although there were many buildings that looked similar in appearance, none of them gave him a sense of spiritual familiarity.

This also means that he has not been able to find the dark red chimney house that he saw in the dream divination.

The house where the mastermind chose to live is most likely located somewhere on the outskirts of Tingen!

Of course, the possibility of omissions in Alice's spells could not be ruled out, but he had no way of confirming this...

Because perhaps he was in a completely unknown and mysterious realm, Klein tried a lazy method during the period - taking out the pendulum and trying to divine where the silver mirror that reflected the correct image was - and there was no doubt that he failed.

Since there was no trick he could do, he had no choice but to accept his fate, hold his nose and go to confirm each one honestly.

As the sky began to get darker, it became increasingly difficult for him to concentrate. Klein stopped, stretched a little casually, and finally took a look at the exterior of the house closest to him, and took a note of it.

As for today's progress, I changed my steps and walked towards the corner of the hall where Alice was.

When Klein approached and was about to call her name, his movements suddenly stopped in place.

There is no other reason.

Alice was leaning on an unknown cushion behind her, her eyes closed without any precautions, her pink lips slightly parted, her chest rising and falling in a steady and long rhythm, and she had already turned over half of the pages of the herbal medicine monograph.

It also slipped to the floor, where it happened to reveal a sketch illustration containing the morphological characteristics of a certain medicinal plant.

If the setting sun from the outside world could pass through the barrier of the mirror and fall on her hair, her body, and her little finger gently hooking the edge of the book, it would be the ultimate beauty that no artist can refuse.

He didn't know how long he stared at the quiet and peaceful scene in front of him. It seemed that even his mental fatigue had been forgotten. Then he suddenly woke up and finally realized that he had done this to peek at the sleeping girl.

the behavior of.

Klein blushed and turned his head away. He continued to strengthen his belief and will, repeatedly emphasizing not to be fooled by her appearance. He finally calmed down the throbbing in his heart by relying on a familiar and almost instinctive meditation technique.

Okay...go over and wake her up.

After secretly cheering himself up, Klein bravely took steps, moved lightly, restrained his voice, and squatted down next to Alice. Then he stretched out his hand tremblingly, held the thin and weak shoulder, and shook it slightly.

Two times.

"Uh-well..."

She frowned slightly, and the beautiful lines of her eyebrows moved, revealing a slightly aggrieved attitude, while the sleepy murmurs squeezed out of her throat were vague and ambiguous, filled with some strange charm that could make people feel itchy.

Suppressing the thoughts in his mind, Klein shook the girl again and shouted in a slightly low voice:

"Alice? Wake up, wake up... wake up."

"Well - you're so annoying." She reluctantly opened her eyes, and her eyes were hazy for a long time before they regained focus, "Now, what time is it now..."

He retracted his hand as if nothing had happened, then took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time: "It's close to six o'clock. If I don't go back, Benson and Melissa should worry about me working overtime... Well, let's go home together today?"

"I can do it, it's up to you..." She covered her lips and yawned a little, tears flashing in her eyes, "By the way, have you gained anything?"

"It's not completely gone, at least, at least..." Seeing her actions, Klein seemed to be infected. As he spoke, he couldn't help covering his mouth and yawned - he was in high spirits this afternoon.

Concentrating, it takes an average of ten to twenty seconds to identify the exterior scenery around a house. After nearly six hours of work, he was extremely tired, but he immediately cheered up and said, "At least nearly half of the interference has been eliminated.

option, then you just need to carefully check that part of the houses in the suburbs!"

Alice nodded lightly when she heard this:

"That's good. But for the remaining half, when are you going to continue the investigation? Tomorrow, it doesn't seem possible. You said you have to work overtime... Well, can't you just ask for leave and not go?"

No, this is not possible... Klein was ashamed and said to himself that this was the first time he went to guard Chanis Gate after becoming an official night watcher. If he dared to say that he had something to do and wanted to take leave, he didn't know if he would be labeled as having a poor work attitude by the captain.

label, affecting his future promotion...

By the way, speaking of Chanis Gate——

Klein suddenly thought of the wanted document that had been inexplicably cancelled, and recalled the descriptions of the captain and others, saying that the "Mirror Witch" was sealed by the strong men at the top of the church with the help of Chanis's sect...

But what is the reality?

He suddenly realized that he could not ask Alice directly, "Do you know what it is like behind Chanis's door?"

Asking her about the appearance of Chanis behind the door is not the same as saying in front of her: Hi, the person in front of you is the night watcher of the Church of the Night Goddess, a member of the official organization who once wanted you.

oh.

...Damn it, maybe I should have a showdown with Alice earlier... No, this is not appropriate either...

Hey, wait a minute... Alice, can see the scene in everyone's field of vision...

Then, she, did she already know my identity?!

No, no, if I think about it further, if she can see everything, then my transfer ceremony... wouldn't she also be able to see it clearly?!

It can almost be said that just as the shock and admiration he felt before was so strong, the horror and horror at this moment made his hair stand on end.

Klein was stunned for a long time, until the girl next to him cast a confused look. Then he suddenly woke up, quickly organized his words, and confirmed to her with a stumble:

"You...no, I suddenly remembered something...do you usually use your...mirror spell to collect information about people around you?"

"You want to ask, have I ever spied on you?" Alice pointed out his thoughts directly, and then snorted, "In your opinion, do I have that much control? Or, do I

Do you look like the kind of willful child who abuses his abilities? Whatever he can do, he will do it regardless of the consequences and for fun? Please have some faith in me. I am a mature adult after all.

, I still have this bit of self-control and morality.”

Ah ha ha……

Klein laughed twice and quickly changed the subject: "Well, I remember you emphasized several times that your age is seventeen. According to the standard, you cannot be said to be an adult..."

"That's your standard!" Alice had an expression on her face that you don't understand. She crossed her arms and turned around and said, "According to the laws of the country where I was born, I reach adulthood at the age of sixteen, so

I said that I am a mature adult, which is totally fine and very reasonable."

...Okay, if she wants to say that, he really has no reason to refute.

Klein tends to believe what she said, and believes that she has never touched his secrets, otherwise she would never react like this...

After discussing the current topic in a few words, he only felt hungry and tired, so he stood up and proposed to her to leave the mirror realm named the Meditation Hall.

Alice nodded in disbelief, stood up, and put away all the nearby picnic-like objects. She stuffed some magic props into some extra-dimensional space, sorted out her clothes, and walked towards the center of the hall.

——Wait a minute, she didn’t leave him time to hold hands!

Klein was stunned, and immediately raised his legs to chase after him. Then he generously grabbed the soft little hand without any shyness, and said righteously to the girl who looked back at him:

"I'm afraid I'll be separated from you later, and I'll be doomed if I get lost in this weird mirror world."

I am following the judgment of my heart... Klein cursed.

Alice shook her head wordlessly, stopped near the middle of the vast hall, and then closed her eyes, allowing the smooth ground in front of her to become concave, extending like a deep crack leading to the bottom of hell.

"Why, why do I still have to fall downwards when I go back..."

Klein watched in shock, feeling that he was completely unable to understand the physical laws of the world in the mirror... Uh, no, it's the mysterious laws...

"You thought it was falling downward, but maybe we are actually rising up? Here, you can't rely too much on vision, the eyes can be deceiving." Alice opened her eyes and looked at him, it was okay.

Kindly gave advice, "You can close your eyes next, otherwise the gap between physical sensation and vision may make you want to vomit..."

I understand, I understand, just like playing VR games with inferior holographic glasses, the delay will be uncomfortable...

Thinking like this, Klein closed his eyes calmly, and then relied on his spiritual intuition to follow Alice a few steps forward. He felt as if he had been riding on an invisible strong wind, floating into the sky without any weight.

Pass through the starry sky in the dome, cross countless unknown doors full of mystery, and float on the sea full of light.

He felt that the changes in the environment around him seemed to have stopped. He was about to open his eyes and ask the owner of the little hand in his palm, but he was the first to "hear" the voice she conveyed from deep in his heart.

"Wait a minute, something is wrong on the second floor... Don't move here, and don't make a sound. I've used a suitable fragmented mirror to help you disguise it... You're not allowed to leave here until I say it's okay.

Come out of the debris."

This was the first time that Klein heard Alice give him instructions in such a calm and serious "tone".

He couldn't help but feel tight in his heart, and nodded subconsciously. He opened his eyes and wanted to see her current expression, but he was half a step too late. The soft touch in his palm had quietly withdrawn before that moment. He could only

I saw a blurry figure passing through the light curtain in front of me, stepping into the bizarre and fragmented space.

Klein kept calm and looked around where he was, and found that it seemed to be a bathroom in a certain family's house. However, all the furnishings felt strangely inconsistent, and the sounds in his ears were also extremely quiet.

In the near-death silence, he quickly made a judgment: he was currently on the "first level" of the mirror world as Alice said, the level closest to reality.

But maybe she did something before she left. The only sounds that Klein could hear at this time were from the transparent light curtain that gradually faded but never dissipated, and from Alice's boots tapping on the invisible channel.

The clicking sound...

His sight even penetrated this barrier and saw Alice walking in the psychedelic space. He saw...

Someone else besides her!

Klein was stunned.

He never imagined that they would meet others in this mirror world!

But the man in the simple linen robe was really standing there, quietly lowering his eyes as if waiting for something. His long, bright silver hair was spread behind him and in front of him, making his beautiful and soft facial features more beautiful.

Beautiful hair.

Until Alice stopped some distance away from him, the man seemed to finally wake up and open his eyes.

At this moment, she only saw her own reflection in those gentle silver eyes.

Before she could say anything, the silver-haired and silver-eyed stranger showed a slightly indifferent smile, stretched out his right hand, and extended an invitation.

Klein heard these words clearly——

What the man said to Alice was:
Chapter completed!
