Chapter 2: The Mirror of Good and Evil
"Hmm......" Bai Xuanyi, who had just woken up, rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"It's eight o'clock......" she looked at the clock on the cabinet next to her, and stepped out of bed.
"It's so comfortable to sleep...... Bai Xuanyi squinted his eyes in satisfaction and stretched out.
She went to the bathroom and looked at her sleepy-eyed self in the mirror, the expression on her face seemed to be very helpless.
"Take care of it...... I'm not good at that. Bai Xuanyi leaned closer to the mirror and touched his white hair, "This...... Let's start by combing your hair......"
Ten minutes later, Bai Xuanyi walked out of the bathroom and looked out the window.
This hostel is located in a more prosperous area in the western part of the city, and is also relatively close to Senmak Gakuin.
"Let's go out and see if there's anything new." Bai Xuanyi muttered to himself and picked up the casual clothes hanging on the hanger.
Bai Xuanyi, who was walking on the street, looked around curiously, while passers-by looked at this casually dressed girl with a stunning appearance in amazement.
It's hard to imagine that a girl who is clearly a big nobleman would dress herself up so casually.
However, Bai Xuanyi didn't know what these passers-by were thinking, she was just very interested in the scenery on this street.
"Hmm...... What is it? Bai Xuanyi looked curiously at a transparent sphere in front of him.
"Miss, you really have a vision." The uncle standing behind the table said flatteringly, obviously he coincided with the thoughts of those passers-by.
"This crystal ball is said to be the royal treasure of the extinct Transcendent Empire." The uncle said mysteriously, "Later, it was resold several times through the black market and came to me. ”
"So what's it for?" Bai Xuanyi continued to ask, while carefully examining the crystal ball.
"That's pretty good." The uncle raised his head slightly, "It can emit light according to the strength of the user, and it is said that the maximum can even exceed the light of the star." ”
"Cut!" Several vendors who heard the uncle's words mocked disdainfully, "Don't blow it, more than the stars?!" Only a three-year-old can be deceived by you! ”
"What?!" The uncle was very annoyed and soon quarreled with the surrounding "peers".
Bai Xuanyi touched the seemingly ordinary crystal ball and turned to leave.
Even if it is true, as the uncle said, it can overshadow the light of the stars, then it should belong to the right people for it.
Perhaps in response to Bai Xuanyi's thoughts, inadvertently, a few wisps of pure white light flashed faintly from the inside of the crystal ball.
Leaving that street, Bai Xuanyi came to a completely different place.
There are few pedestrians here, but from time to time a few animal trainers leading unknown magical beasts pass by.
Bai Xuanyi secretly looked at these masked mysterious people and the monsters they were leading.
There are wurm-like monsters, there are ape-like monsters, and there are feathered monsters that resemble magic chickens......
These beast tamers didn't seem to notice Bai Xuanyi's peeping, or they didn't care, the wide road could accommodate four demonic beasts the size of wurm at the same time.
Bai Xuanyi walked and stopped, in front of a very solemn-looking church.
She had heard a little that most of the people of the empire believed in the Zhenyu Sect, which took the Zhenyu God as the object of worship, and as for what the "Zhenyu God" was, Bai Xuanyi didn't know much about it, and she didn't want to know.
However, the laws of the empire did not prohibit non-believers from entering the church, and Bai Xuanyi planned to see what was really like inside the church.
Entering the church, the first thing Bai Xuanyi saw was the tall statue of the god in front of him.
It is a statue of a soft-faced male deity holding a long sword, which appears to be made of sterling silver.
Bai Xuanyi walked over curiously, looking at the seats around him as he walked, which seemed to be made of some other metal.
Soon, Bai Xuanyi stood in front of the idol, raised his head slightly, and stared at the soft face of the idol.
"Hello?" A sudden male voice interrupted Bai Xuanyi's observation, and she looked to the left, only to see a young man with clear eyebrows walking out of the room there.
"Hello......" Bai Xuanyi said a little uncomfortably, she rarely talked to strangers and didn't have much experience in communicating.
"I'm the priest of this church, and my name is Dimoth." The man has free red hair, but he speaks in a polite tone.
"My name is Bai Xuanyi...... May I ask who is this idol? Bai Xuanyi asked.
"Hmm...... He is the second pillar of one of the legendary Seven Pillars of the Stars. Demos said, "It's called Ling Ye." ”
"Ling Ye......" Bai Xuanyi muttered to himself.
The idol gave her a sense of ...... It feels very close, like a friend I haven't seen in years......
"Miss Bai, what are you here for?" Demos asked with a smile.
"Just to have a visit." Bai Xuanyi looked at the idol and then at him.
"Visit...... a subtle smile flashed across Demos' face, "in that case, why don't you come in and take a look at the church's collections?" ”
"Hmm...... All right. Bai Xuanyi seemed to have no worries, and after a little thought, he agreed to Dimos's request.
"Come with me, then." Demos made a gesture of please, then turned and entered the back room.
Bai Xuanyi, who walked into the room, observed with great interest the various sculptures and machines placed on the shelves.
"How? The collection here is very valuable. Dimos looked back at Bai Xuanyi, who was admiring intently, "Many of them are hundreds of years old. ”
"However, this is the one I am most satisfied with in these collections." Demos pulled out a small jar from the box next to him.
"What is this?" Bai Xuanyi asked curiously, "What's in here...... Is it a pearl? ”
"Sort of." "This is a spirit orb endowed with a life spell, and according to legend, it was created by the founding master of the Darkwing Empire. ”
"Oh." Bai Xuanyi blinked, "But the raw materials of this spirit bead are very rare." ”
"Well, that's right...... Demos replied with a smile, but as if remembering something, his expression suddenly became very surprised.
Bai Xuanyi didn't seem to notice his abnormality, just observed the glittering beads in the transparent jar, "It's not so much that it's rare, it's better to say that it's not accepted by the world." ”
Dimos took a few steps back, "You...... How do you see that?! ”
Bai Xuanyi stood up straight, and his beautiful face was a little colder, "I need a girl's eyes...... It's the best material, isn't it? ”
Timos looked flustered, but soon calmed down, and the sinister smile on his face became more pronounced.
"Now that you know, don't even think about getting out of here." Demos slowly approached Bai Xuanyi.
In his opinion, the girl in front of him is just the level of the original star, and she is not the opponent of his shining star at all, although it is likely to be the young lady of a certain nobleman, but no one will know about dying here.
And...... Dimos greedily glanced at Bai Xuanyi, this little girl is still a rare beauty, and she can even fight with the princess, this is obviously God's will, let him enjoy it.
"What, scared?" Dimos didn't panic at all, just stared at Bai Xuanyi who was staring at him, "Don't worry, I'll try not to hurt you." ”
"I'll treat you like a delicate puppet...... "Demos' smile grew wilder, and his hand was about to touch Bai Xuanyi.
"Bang !!" The sound of a violent crash echoed throughout the church.
Looking at Dimos who was slammed into the wall, Bai Xuanyi smiled, she was more than enough to deal with this kind of goods.
Demos had a twisted look of horror on his face, and he didn't even see how she made a move just now, and he was instantly sent flying.
"In that case, if you die here, it will be regarded as atonement for your sins." Bai Xuanyi looked at the jar in his hand.
"It looks like a dozen girls have died at your hands." Bai Xuanyi walked towards Demos, who was spitting blood, "They are not like me, they are all devout believers, and they probably can't believe that the young and handsome priest is such a murderous and sadist before they die." ”
"No, you can't kill me...... ...... vomit" Demos spat out a mouthful of blood again, Bai Xuanyi's blow just now had seriously injured his internal organs.
Bai Xuanyi opened the jar, and all the flickering spirit beads inside floated.
"Look at them, and then die with guilt." Bai Xuanyi stretched out his left hand to make a clenching gesture, and all the flickering spirit beads flew to Demos's body.
In the wail of Demos, the light of the spirit bead became more and more intense, gradually melting the entire body of Demos.
Bai Xuanyi clasped her hands together, and the spirit beads gradually turned into white light and disappeared in front of her eyes.
Five minutes later, Bai Xuanyi walked out of the room and looked at the statue with a still soft expression.
"It turns out that gods will also make mistakes......" Bai Xuanyi, who looked at it for a while, turned around and left.
It didn't affect her much, in fact, she and her mother were harassed because of their beautiful looks.
However, the power of her mother protected them through the difficulties again and again, but Bai Xuanyi had already silently had a mirror in her heart, a mirror of good and evil.
This is also the reason why she knew that Dimos was a hypocrite from the first time she saw him.
"I'm hungry...... Bai Xuanyi muttered, "I've eaten a little less for breakfast...... Let's see if there's anything good to eat around. ”
Bai Xuanyi regained her old image and began to look for restaurants everywhere, or snacks, which she could accept.
After all, she is not on the accident table and will not be prejudiced against food.
