Chapter 12: Phantom in the Mirror
The next day.
When the stars became dazzling again, filling the entire sky, the "day" of the Shadow World finally came, and the brilliant starlight was the sunlight of the Shadow World, and the bright starlight and bright moonlight sprinkled through the windows into the silent room.
In such a sunless environment, Xuan Wuyin, a traverser, naturally slept very soundly, and even if the "daytime" had arrived, he didn't notice it, after all, there would be no so-called sun on his buttocks.
However, Xuan Wuyin still woke up from the bed suddenly, Xuan Wuyin looked at the surrounding environment with only starlight and lights, and did not ease up for a while, because Xuan Wuyin suddenly heard a knock on the door, and the original peaceful atmosphere was broken in an instant, so that Xuan Wuyin couldn't help but cover his face, and his heart jumped at the same time.
What's going on? How could someone suddenly come and knock on the door in broad daylight? Didn't my family owe debts and didn't pay them, as for the daylight killing, they came to call me?
Xuan Wuyin climbed out of bed a little indignantly, and then quickly got dressed and ran out to open the door, can't you let Xuan Ge open the door? What if there are any bad people outside the door?
In addition, I hope that Xuan Ge is not woken up.
Xuan Wuyin thought as he came to the door, and then glanced out through the cat's eye of the door.
Xuan Wuyin found that there was a strange young man outside the door, the young man was dressed in black, and there was a dark spirit stone with a different appearance on the black coat, this dark spirit stone had been specially carved, so it showed a similar appearance to a badge, and there was a pattern or emblem on the surface of the badge: it was composed of several scattered but broken black mist and a little starlight.
This is the symbol of the Xuan clan's "Shadow Guard", and Xuan Wuyin quickly remembered the origin of this symbol.
In the Shadow Guard's logo, the black mist symbolizes darkness, but also symbolizes difficulties and failures, the black mist and the black mist is broken means that the darkness will not dissipate so easily, and the little starlight symbolizes the shining stars, and at the same time symbolizes the hope and success of piercing the darkness, and the people of the Shadows never shy away from the light because they were born in darkness.
Moths can also fight fires.
"The Man of the Shadow Guard...... What are you doing with me in the morning? Xuan Wuyin's heart was puzzled, but Xuan Wuyin quickly opened the door.
Since it's a shadow guard, then it's unlikely that it's a bad guy pretending to be harmless, it should be that the big guy Xuan Peng has something to find me, so he sent the shadow guard to inform me.
"Hello, may I ask if you are Xuan Wuyin, right?" A polite smile appeared on the young shadow guard at the door when he saw Xuan Wuyin, "The deputy head asked me to inform you, there is an urgent task for you." ”
Xuan Fei is the deputy head of the shadow guard.
Urgent task? What the hell, big guy, you don't bring this to play, do you? Before I became a full-time employee of the Shadow Guard, you started to squeeze me? Come and urge me in the morning.,What urgent tasks do you need me to go over?,It's really urgent, and it's not my turn to be new.。
"Okay, I'll get over as soon as possible." Despite complaining in his heart, Xuan Wuyin nodded, and then immediately went back to the house to prepare.
Xuan Wuyin entered the house, and Xuan Wuyin, who originally wanted to see if Xuan Ge had woken up, was suddenly stunned in place, only to see a girl with white hair and purple eyes standing at the door of Xuan Ge's room, and the girl happened to make eye contact with Xuan Wuyin.
It seems that Xuan Wuyin doesn't have to leave a note to tell Xuan Ge his whereabouts, because Xuan Ge has woken up.
The girl is the one who woke up.
"Brother, what's going on?" After a short silence, Xuan Ge frowned slightly and asked.
“…… It's okay, it's just a friend who comes to ......" Xuan Wuyin originally subconsciously wanted to hide Xuan Ge's matter about the urgent task, so as not to worry Xuan Ge, but after Xuan Wuyin noticed that Xuan Ge seemed to have a faint chill in his eyes, Xuan Wuyin quickly changed his words, "...... A friend came to tell me that Lord Xuan had something to do with me. ”
Just kidding, as an older brother, how could I do such a thing to hide and deceive my sister? Of course, to tell the truth...... I still want to live well, I don't want to be killed by my sister's cold eyes.
If I'm lying, she'll be able to tell in minutes.
What's more, maybe she had already heard my conversation with the shadow guard, and she just asked me on purpose.
Sure enough, a sister who is too smart will always make it difficult for my brother.
However, what Xuan Wuyin didn't know was that the reason why Xuan Ge was like this today was because Xuan Ge had a premonition, and Xuan Ge had discovered something strange last night.
"......" Xuan Ge was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly spoke, his voice slightly weak but very firm.
"I'll go with you." Xuan Ge said softly.
"This ......" Xuan Wuyin's body stiffened when he heard this, and Xuan Wuyin's momentum, which was originally extremely soft in front of his sister, suddenly became tough, "No! Your body hasn't fully recovered, so stay at home and leave it to your brother if you have something outside. ”
"I'm your brother, and it's my duty and responsibility for my brother to take care of my sister." Xuan Wuyin said seriously.
Although Xuan Ge is actually not the real sister of the current Xuan Wuyin, the current Xuan Wuyin has inherited the memories and even some emotions of the original owner, so the current Xuan Wuyin will naturally not allow Xuan Ge to mess around.
Although I don't know what the "urgent mission" that Xuan Peng asked me to do will be, it will definitely not be simple and easy anyway, and I don't have to think about it to know that how easy things are for the shadow guard?
So it's definitely not suitable for Xuan Ge to intervene.
"But I'm ...... I just don't like your so-called responsibility! Xuan Ge pursed her lips, her little hands suddenly clenched, her purple eyes stared at Xuan Wuyin, and she suddenly shouted loudly, and then Xuan Ge gasped slightly, Xuan Ge, who had been sick and weak since childhood, had rarely spoken so excitedly.
It's rare to say what is in your heart like this.
“…… All right. Xuan Wuyin looked at Xuan Ge, who was excited at this time, and finally compromised, Xuan Wuyin was really afraid that refusing her would make her fall out with herself.
Moreover, Xuan Wuyin is not a fool, Xuan Wuyin vaguely understood one thing from Xuan Ge's words.
Perhaps, Xuan Ge has always thought that she only takes care of her because of responsibility, not really caring about her, so she hates the statement of responsibility so much.
That's why she feels that her brother only wants to fulfill his responsibility to take care of his sister, and as for what her sister will think, whether she accepts it or not, her brother doesn't care at all.
"How can I not care about you? I don't want you to go out, after all, I'm too afraid that you will accidentally get hurt. Xuan Wuyin thought in his heart.
"Do you have anything to prepare? If not, let's go. ”
"Hmm...... No, I'm ready. Xuan Ge shook his head lightly when he heard this.
"Then let's go." Xuan Wuyin nodded, and then casually took some Dark Realm Spirit Stones from home and stored them on his body, Dark Realm Spirit Stones can be used as currency as well as food and replenishment of shadow power, and it will not be a problem to carry a little bit on him when he goes out.
…………
Xuan Wuyin and Xuan Ge went out together, and then led by the young shadow guard, they came to the location of the shadow guard's headquarters, and met the deputy head of the shadow guard, Xuan Fei.
"Yo...... You're finally here, boy. When Xuan Wuyin and the two entered the door, Xuan Fei happened to have his back to the two, Xuan Fei did not immediately turn back, but looked thoughtfully at a mirror on the wall, "I actually brought a girl, do you want to come over and show affection in front of me?" ”
"Ahem...... Xuan Wuyin's expression suddenly became embarrassed, "Big guy, this is my sister, Xuan Ge." ”
"Haha...... I know, the rare 'gifted divine descendant' Xuan Ge is only lacking in fame because of his illness and deep simplicity, I'm just joking to let you relax. Xuan Fei smiled, and finally turned around, his purple jewel-like eyes were smiling, and he didn't know why, Xuan Wuyin always felt that there was a trace of ill will and schadenfreude in this smile......
"So what's going on? What the hell is an urgent mission? I haven't become an official shadow guard yet, big guy, are you so anxious to let me take up the post? Xuan Wuyin said unceremoniously, after previous contact, Xuan Wuyin knew that Xuan Fei's personality did not care about his own behavior, and maybe he would think that he was talking funny, "Don't squeeze employees like this......
"Huh...... There's nothing wrong with the official shadow guard, I'm saying now that you're you. The corners of Xuan's mouth rose.
"As for urgent tasks...... Actually, it's an urgent mission, but it's just an urgent mission for you. Xuan Fei smiled evilly, "It's not a problem for me to have this kind of task, but if I leave it for too long, things will get bigger, so I can only leave this matter alone for three days at most, more than three days, and if it hasn't been solved, I will take action immediately." ”
"So you only have three days left, no, more than two days, which is really urgent for you."
So you actually just want to play, and sooner or later you'll play yourself to death if you play like this!
How many lifetimes did our dignified Shadow Clan have to go down to recruit the first powerhouse like you who neglected their duties?
“…… So what exactly is the mission? Holding back the urge to curse, Xuan Wuyin asked.
"Mirror ......"
"Phantom in the mirror." Before Xuan Ge could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xuan Ge's voice, Xuan Ge looked at Xuan Peng, who was originally smiling but had a different color because of Xuan Ge's interruption, and said in a cold tone.
In fact, last night Xuan Ge was vaguely aware of the phenomenon of the phantom in the mirror, so Xuan Ge will have such a performance today.
If you want to put it simply, it is Xuan Ge, she really doesn't worry about Xuan Wuyin, a stupid brother.
"It's indeed a phantom in the mirror, it seems that your sister is very smart, did she predict or discover something in advance......" Xuan Fei couldn't help but say, at this time, the surprise on Xuan Fei's face had dissipated, but there was an inexplicable smile in his eyes, "Should I say that I am worthy of being a genius with the talent of 'Mimic Shadow'......"
"So what exactly is a phantom in the mirror?" Xuan Wuyin was noncommittal to Xuan Peng's words and continued to ask.
"To put it simply, the Phantom in the Mirror is actually an anomaly born of the power of the Shadow." Xuan Fei explained, "Specifically, within the scope of this phenomenon, there may be a dark shadow hidden in everything related to the mirror, a phantom in the mirror that can change and distort into a monster!" ”
"In the phenomenon of phantom in the mirror, there is no limit to the number of phantom monsters that may appear, but generally only one phantom in the mirror can transform into a monster, and over time, this phantom may become a very powerful individual, or it may split into two or three...... There are more and more, so this anomaly needs to be eliminated in time. ”
"This kind of thing...... Boss, are you sure it's okay to find me? You're not afraid I'll mess up? After listening to it, Xuan Wuyin shouted in his heart that the pressure was great, saying that you dare to watch and play like this kind of dangerous phenomenon that can be automatically expanded, and even give me this kind of budding new person to do, how much do you like to die, big guy?
Could this be the legendary boss who dies without dying?
"Hey...... You don't understand this. Xuan Fei smiled, "I will come to you to do this urgent task, but there is a deeper reason, and it is definitely not because of any fun." ”
"So why?" Xuan Wuyin had an expression of "Who believes you", and you continued, if I believe it, even if I lose.
"Why...... The phantom phenomenon in the mirror occurs because of the shadow power, so do you know where this shadow power comes from? Xuan Fei smiled and suddenly asked rhetorically, as if he wanted to hang Xuan Wuyin's appetite.
"Wait, can you say ......" Xuan Wuyin suddenly had a bad premonition.
Could it be the "Forest of Shadows"?!
"Huh...... Congratulations, you guessed it. Xuan Fei seemed to be able to see what Xuan Wuyin was thinking, and said with a grin.
"It's the 'Forest of Shadows'!"
"That's the real reason I came to you."
