"Ha-" Liu Ye yawned as he pushed open the door of his room, and after a day of practice, he now only had the idea of lying on the bed and lying on the corpse.

Falling on the bed with a thud, Liu Ye looked out the window with a sideways face, the bright moon was hanging high, and several birds flew from one tree to another, stepping on the branches and swaying under the moonlight.

"Hmm, what is this?" Liu Ye's gaze moved to the small table by the window, which had an extra dark blue card compared to when he left in the morning.

With a long exhalation, Liu Ye reluctantly rolled out of bed and walked to the window, picked up the card and looked at it, there was a line of text he didn't recognize printed on the front, and a pattern of a European-style classical bust mirror on the reverse.

Suddenly, the line of text flashed, and Liu Ye only felt that his consciousness was frantically pulled by the blue light emitted by the card, and after a short period of dizziness, he found himself in a strange space.

The place he was in was like inside a huge clock, with dark golden gears on all sides, the largest ones were tens of meters long, and the small ones were only the size of the palm of his hand. Liu Ye was floating among these rotating gears at this time, and there was a person standing in front of him, he was wearing a high black top hat, a tuxedo, and a black cane in his hand with white gloves, dressed like a magician, but he was also wearing a slightly terrifying crying face mask, with a white face and black thin line eyebrows, revealing a pair of purple-red eyes, giving people an extremely strange beauty.

"Are you?" Liu Ye asked tentatively, his heart was extremely nervous, and he was suddenly dragged into such a different space, he was a little overwhelmed, trying his best to remember the offensive magic that Shi Lan had taught him a few days ago, and Liu Ye's hands behind his back had begun to glow slightly.

The man didn't speak, took off his politeness and made a standard gentlemanly salute to Liu Ye, and then raised his cane in front of Liu Ye.

"You mean, you want me to take it?" asked Liu Ye.

The man in the mask with a crying face nodded, Liu Ye dispersed the magic power of his right hand, and slowly held the cane handed over by the other party, he tried to breathe steadily, and the light of his left hand behind him became more and more brilliant.

The man put his hands together, and his cane suddenly shone with golden light, and in a blink of an eye, it shrank to the size of a key, and lay quietly in Liu Ye's palm.

Liu Ye's eyes jumped back and forth between the hard training mask and the "key" in the palm of his hand, this scene was too weird at this time, and he couldn't judge whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Crying Face made a fist gesture for him to put away his beyond.

After doing all this, the Crying Face Mask took out another envelope and respectfully handed it to Liu Ye with both hands.

Liu Ye hesitated slightly and took the envelope. The envelope was covered with fire paint wax, something he had only seen in museums, and the letter had been lost to history for many years.

"Knock knock" suddenly echoed in the gear space.

"Liu Ye, come down to eat!"

It was Mu Shilan's voice! Oops, once the door was opened, she might be in danger.

Liu Ye stared at the crying face mask, but saw him step by step, step by step, step by step, constantly retreating, and with each fall of his footsteps, those rotating gears gradually became transparent. In just a few seconds, his figure had vanished, and his surroundings had returned to its previous appearance.

"Bang-" The door opened, "Liu Ye?" Shilan's face slowly poked out of the crack in the door.

There was no response in the house, Shi Lan pushed open the door, and saw Liu Ye lying on the bed like a starfish, sleeping unconscious.

"Liu-Ye-" Shi Lan crossed her hands on her waist, and a cartoon bear was drawn on the apron on her chest, she looked at Liu Ye angrily, "Don't sleep!"

"Uh-huh-" Liu Ye sat up slowly and stretched, "I'll be right away." ”

"Hmph. Shilan snorted lightly, turned around and left, jumping downstairs.

"Whew. Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, and took out the letter and the shrunken cane from under the pillow, it was not that he couldn't believe Mu Shilan, what he was really guarding against was Yan Heling, although she was Shilan's grandfather, but Ouyang Gu's words made Liu Ye feel that maybe this layer of family affection was not as reliable as Shilan thought.

"Come back and see it later. Liu Ye thought and stuffed all the things back under the pillow.

Came to the hall on the first floor, there were already several people sitting at the bar in front of the kitchen, Liu Ye swept and found that Zeng Chen was not there, Yan Heling, as always, still did not appear here, Shi Lan was still happily busy in the kitchen, Ouyang Gu and Fourier were talking and laughing in front of a laptop, and Sister Tang Yin was sitting on the left of the two of them, fiddling with her nails boredly, admiring her new nail polish.

The dinner was made by Shi Lan, anyway, at least it looked much better than the pancakes made by Tang Yin's eldest sister, and there should be no potion seasoning with unknown side effects.

Liu Ye chose an empty seat and sat down, looking at Shi Lan's back in a daze, his heart full of what had just happened. Who could it be under the mask of that weird crying face? What was written in that letter? The most important thing is, why did he come to him? And according to Ouyang Gu, Century Dawn is a very powerful organization, and Yan Heling, one of the directors of the Asian Magic Federation, is in charge, but that person can come and go freely because he is so powerful that he is confident that he will not be discovered at all? Or is it ...... Liu Ye's gaze swept over the faces of several people present one by one, could it be a few of them?

"Smack. Shilan pushed a saucer down in front of him, "What are you doing in a daze?"

"Nothing. Liu Ye rubbed his eyes, "I'm just too tired." ”

"You're so tired? Also, you've been practicing quite hard today. Shilan said.

Ouyang Gu glanced past Furier and glanced at Liu Ye, sensing that something was not quite right with him.

As soon as he turned his head, Ouyang Gu met Tang Yin's gaze.

Fourier handed him a note from behind: "Someone just came." When Mr. Yan found out, my eldest sister and I went to chase after it, but we didn't catch up. ”

Tang Yin nodded meaningfully at him.

Because of the mysterious letter hanging in his heart, Liu Ye couldn't eat anything at all, and he barely sat in front of the kitchen bar for a few minutes before he got up and left the hall.

Seeing this, Ouyang Gu Fu Liye Tang Yin exchanged glances, the eldest sister raised her eyebrows, and pointed in the direction where Liu Ye left, Ouyang Gu understood and immediately followed silently. Shi Lan frowned and looked at the dishes on the table that barely moved, a little skeptical that there was something wrong with her cooking skills.

Back in the room, Liu Ye sat on the ground against the wardrobe, holding a small cane in his left hand, and holding a letter sealed with fire paint in his right hand, hesitating, on the one hand, he wanted to know what was written inside, on the other hand, the other party's purpose was unknown, and if he opened it rashly, there might be any danger, he was still the key suspect of the European attack, if he caused any accident here in the dawn of the century, then he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

He pulled out the small card with the strange mirror logo from his pants pocket, but now the card was blank, the line of text was gone, and the card no longer flashed blue light, only the mirror logo on the back was still there.

I couldn't see any clues to the key to the cane, and now the only clue was this letter.

"Knock Knock"

Hearing the knock on the door, Liu Ye hurriedly put away the card, envelope and key.

"Please come in. ”

"Liu Ye, I won't come in. It was Ouyang Gu's voice, "I know you're not very convenient now, I'm just here to say that we are partners." ”

"If there is something that cannot be solved, we will do our best to help you, which is the obligation of the partners. I'll go first, something will call me. ”

Ouyang Gu's words made Liu Ye speechless for a while, he held the envelope in front of his eyes, and the light shone obliquely on it but it couldn't be seen through at all, this didn't seem to be ordinary paper.

The footsteps outside the door faded away.

"Wait. Liu Ye stood up and opened the door, "Ouyang Gu, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Oh?" Ouyang Gu, who had already reached the stairs at the end of the corridor, turned around, half of his body was in the shadows of the corridor, half of his body was under the light of the corridor, and he grinned at Liu Ye with a confident smile, "Then I'll do my best." ”

"What do you want to ask?" After Liu Ye closed the door, Ouyang Gu asked.

"It's this. Liu Ye took out the card and flipped it to the back, pointed to the classical bust and asked him, "Do you know this logo?"

Unexpectedly, Ouyang Gu, who was originally full of confidence, saw this sign and his face changed dramatically, he snatched the card from Liu Ye's hand, his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible......

Liu Ye was taken aback by his reaction, Ouyang Gu gave him the impression that he was a person who was extremely confident and extremely deep in the city, and he would actually be frightened like this sign. He hurriedly grabbed Ouyang Gu's shoulder and shook it gently, while saying, "Hey, calm down!"

Ouyang Gu was shaken and gradually came to his senses: "Okay, okay, Ah Ye, don't shake." ”

He pushed his sunglasses, and his voice became confident and calm again: "This symbol is the emblem of a magical organization that mysteriously disappeared many years ago, every member of this organization is the elite of the elite, the genius of the genius, they seem to stand on the back of the world, they never leave a trace, they have unparalleled investigative skills. In front of them, even the most secret plans will be hidden. This organization is known as 'Mirror', and its founder is James J. Croren, known as the god of magic. ”

Liu Ye frowned, something similar to Shi Lan said a few days ago, so the card was left by the person of the 'mirror'? But aren't they all missing? If you count the time, even if you were only a young man in your early twenties at the time, he is already past the age of six, and the person who was wearing a crying face mask just now, although he couldn't see his face, Liu Ye could feel that he was not an old man, at most a middle-aged person, or even a young man about the same age as him.

"This group was once immensely powerful, but eventually mysteriously disappeared, and there are many opinions about their whereabouts, but in the end, the conclusion is that they are all dead. Ouyang Gu's sharp gaze shone directly through his sunglasses, "If this card is really left by them, then the conclusion of the general association is wrong." ”

Halfway through his words, Ouyang Gu suddenly stopped, and Liu Ye was a little hairy by him.

"Haha, but the general conclusion can't be wrong. Someone is supposed to be doing things in the name of 'Mirror', and this card is like a war letter, and they want to pass on the news of the resurrection of 'Mirror' to the wizarding world through Century Dawn. There's one more catch, though. Ouyang Gu smiled and took off his sunglasses, "Why did they send them to you?"

"Ah this," Liu Ye scratched his head helplessly in the face of Ouyang Gu's inquiry, "I don't know, when I came back from the underground cultivation room, this card was already on the table in my room." ”

"I believe in you. Ouyang Gu patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, "So we have to find out why they put the card in your room." You see, this room is located in the innermost part of the villa, for the safety of the movement, they can throw the card directly at the door, we will find the same, but they have chosen such a painstaking and dangerous location, and it happens to be your room, not me, Shilan, Fourier, eldest sister, Zeng Chen's room, why do you think it is?"

Liu Ye pondered for a while and said, "I'm different from you, I'm new. ”

"Bingo! And definitely, you're the subject of our investigation right now. Ouyang Gu licked his lips, "Throwing the card to you can deepen our suspicions about you, but in fact, ......"

Liu Ye continued with his words: "Actually, you have already trusted me, so this plan has failed. However, when the European side learns about this, it will further deepen their suspicion of me, which will indirectly lead to contradictions between the Eurasian Magic Association. ”

"That's right, but we're not going to let them get their way, I'll take care of the rest. Ouyang Gu showed his signature smile, "You are safe." ”

After sending Ouyang Gu away, Liu Ye once again took out the letter and cane key under the pillow.

There is nothing wrong with Ouyang Gu's statement logically, at least it is a reasonable explanation, but the premise is that the other party did not leave the letter and the strange key.

"It seems that if you want to know the real purpose of the other party, you have to open this letter. At this point, Liu Ye couldn't care so much, he was heartbroken and tore open the envelope.

"Huh?" Liu Ye cried out in surprise, there was nothing in the envelope, only a blank piece of stationery, "How can this be?"

Even though there were countless doubts and incomprehensions in his heart, due to the interruption of the clues, Liu Ye could only put it aside for the time being, anyway, if the crying face mask was trying to convey something to himself, he should take action again after this failure.

"All I can do now is wait...... Liu Ye sighed, tonight is another sleepless night.

"Liu-Ye!" In a daze, Liu Ye heard Shi Lan's energetic voice, and then received an elbow blow to the stomach, "Look at what time it is!"

Liu Ye, who woke up in an instant, shrunk into a prawn on the bed, and he reluctantly looked up at the wall clock, the hour hand had already run past the number nine.

I didn't fall asleep until four o'clock last night, and it's normal to wake up at this time.

Shi Lan was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, leaning against the window with her hands tucked into her sleeves, looking out the window at the garden, the breeze gently stirring the bangs on her forehead. If it weren't for the reminder of the pain in her stomach that hadn't completely dissipated, Liu Ye would have almost believed that she was a gentle lady.

"Today's lesson is also very important. Shilan whispered, her long hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

"Hey, hey, don't talk like that. Liu Ye said to Shi Lan's back, "You just elbowed me just a minute ago, and it looks too discordant." ”

"Hmph!" Shi Lan turned and walked to the door, and said without looking back, "Hurry up and get dressed and go downstairs, I'll be waiting for you in the quiet room." ”

Liu Ye, who was left by a person, sat on the bed wrapped in the quilt, blinking his eyes for a while, shrugged his shoulders, and rolled off the bed.

When I went downstairs, I ran into Ouyang Gu who was about to go out, and he was wearing a suit today.

Seeing Liu Ye, he mouth-shaped, "It's done." ”

Liu Ye gave him a thumbs up.

"Why are you still grinding!" Liu Ye, who was acting in a silent movie with Ouyang Gu, was pulled by Shi Lan by the collar from behind, "Hurry up and come over to me." ”

Ouyang Gu watched Liu Ye being dragged away by Shilan and shook his head sympathetically.
