At the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church opposite St. Francis Secondary School, Xiao Yao couldn't remember how many times he came.

Don't stay overnight? In his memory, it was a first time.

In the eyes of Shen Jie, who once went to Spain as an exchange student, this church can only be described as "old and broken".

As usual, the wooden staircase let out a gentle moan under Xiao Yao's footsteps.

At the corner of the second floor, there is a collision mirror more than one person high, and there is a line of words in the upper right corner of the mirror.

"You are the portrait of God."

"Oh, really?" Every time he saw this line of words, Xiao Yao couldn't help but complain like this.

He reached out and touched the mirror.

There doesn't seem to be an open passage here.

"Shen Jie." Xiao Yao tilted his head and motioned for Shen Jie to try it too.

"What are you two doing?" Father Yu held out a head from his office and urged, "Come in." ”

The man had set up a whiteboard in the corner of the office with a few lines written on it.

"The situation is urgent, and we get straight to the point." Father Yu circled a few key words with a pen: "Although it is not clear why the cash cabinet KTV and the school are connected in the cognitive world of the target, we have reason to assume that through the mirror of your school, you can also enter the school in that cognition." ”

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie nodded together to show their understanding, after all, the cash cabinet was full of people at night, and it was inconvenient for Shen Jie to enter the men's toilet.

"The goal of our action is to rescue Yu Luying and Xiong ...... Bear ......"

"Kumayoshi." Xiao Yao reminded him.

"Hey, whatever."

“？”

"The upper limit is to rescue the Zhou Qi you mentioned," Father Yu knocked on the whiteboard: "But according to my inference, so much time has passed, you must be mentally prepared, she may be your enemy." ”

"Why?" Shen Jie asked, "Have you been assimilated by that world?" ”

"The means of getting out," Father Yu did not answer the question, but just rolled his eyes: "By the Holy Tablet of Our Lady of Loreto in your hands." ”

Shen Jie looked down at the "holy card" in her hand—it looked like an antique from some years.

"I got it from Ebay, it's not cheap, don't lose it!" Father Yu thought for a moment and added.

"Then how do you use this?" Xiao Yao took the holy card from Shen Jie's hand and turned it over: "There are no button switches on it." ”

An imitation sheepskin scroll – actually made of paper – was thrown onto the table.

"Oh, the Scroll Back to the City?" Xiao Yao reached out and picked it up.

"The way to use it is to pronounce the above verse correctly."

"This ...... How could I read it! Xiao Yao unfolded the scroll, dumbfounded.

"Latin is not easy to learn, but it's easy to just pronounce it, and you can just master the pronunciation rules. You read it to me first. Father Yu commanded.

Shen Jie, who hadn't spoken much, reached out and took the scroll, reciting it with some hesitation.

"Xiao Shen has studied Latin?" Father Yu was a little surprised.

"Spanish. I worked as an exchange student in Spain, and it seems that the pronunciation rules are similar? Shen Jie confirmed.

"There is still a little difference, mainly here, and ...... here" Father Yu stood up, walked to Shen Jie's side, and gave careful guidance.

"So the plan is to find Yu Luying, Xiao Xiong and Zhou Qi, and then use this scroll and holy card to teleport everyone home, right?" Xiao Yao moved his ass a little restlessly.

"Try to follow the rules laid down by this so-called St. Francis of Assisi, and become a student," Fr. Yu solemnly advised, "to avoid provoking the shadows in it, and to avoid any conflicts." ”

"Shadows?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.

"Like the two-hundred-and-five-year-old Seckel you mentioned." "These are the products of the perception of the masters of that world – some people think of them as the embodiment of distorted desires, which we usually call shadows. When you were trapped in your hotel room, the one with your green eyes on the bar was probably your shadow as well. ”

"You call it a shadow? Who are you? Shen Jie tilted her head.

"Keeping your own safety always comes first - I don't have the manpower to send you anymore." Father Yu once again ignored Shen Jie's question: "Did you hear clearly?" ”

"Don't worry, Father." Shen Jie confidently squeezed her little fist and made a "pop" sound: "I have learned karate." ”

"In that kind of world, force may not be effective," Father Yu cupped his forehead: "Even if you want to fight, you have to use spiritual power, it is too complicated for you." ”

"Then let's go, it's not too early." Xiao Yao glanced at the wall clock on the wall and stood up.

"If possible," Father Yu thought for a moment, "also help me find some clues, such as who the master of this world is, and why the embodiment of this world is formed." However, don't force it. ”

"Got it." Xiao Yao nodded, carefully putting the holy card into his trouser pocket.

Then, his fingertips touched something hard.

"This is ......," Xiao Yao took out the thing.

A knight's helmet, a goat's beard, and a pattern on the back that resembles a chess piece.

"What the hell," Xiao Yao muttered to himself, "can you still bring out the things inside?" ”

"What is this?" Father Yu's gaze fell on Xiao Yao's palm, and the latter briefly explained to him the origin of the badge.

"Let me be well."

He handed the badge over, but it was glued to his hand and he couldn't give it to anyone else.

Xiao Yao was dumbfounded again.

"It should be the medium of the spiritual fortress, it can't be wrong." Father Yu gave Xiao Yao an approving look: "I didn't expect you to ...... so soon"

New terms are emerging one after another, and Xiao Yao and Shen Jie are too lazy to ask anymore.

"In short, when you are really in danger, you know what to do." Father Yu waved his hand and turned around: "I hope you don't need it, but ...... With this, you will be safer in this operation. Remember, don't be reckless. ”

Saying goodbye to the priest, the two left the church and walked towards the school across the road.

"Why don't you give me the holy card, after all, you want me to read the scriptures when the time comes." Shen Jie suddenly thought of something.

"Ah, okay."

"This priest is different from the priests I have seen abroad." Shen Jie continued: "And he obviously has a lot of things to hide from us. ”

"Maybe," Xiao Yao replied vaguely, "at least he should want to save people just like us—that's his own niece!" ”

Luckily, the porter on duty today is Uncle Qin.

"This old man is very talkative." Xiao Yao explained to Shen Jie.

He wouldn't tell her that when he skipped class and went to an Internet café before, he bought cigarettes for Uncle Qin.

"Forgot your homework in the classroom?" It was still early, and Uncle Qin didn't sleep: "Let's go in." Is this classmate also from our school? ”

"yes." Shen Jie's face was not red, and her heart was not beating.

Uncle Qin held up his reading glasses suspiciously, but finally didn't say anything. He waved his hand and slipped back into the communication room.

"Your school is a bit ...... Mini. As she walked through the playground, Shen Jie looked around.

"You'll see if you can help me get into the mirror," Xiao Yao walked with his head bored: "Then you can wait for me outside - you can go back first." ”

The girl stopped, Xiao Yao raised her head, and met the other party's puzzled eyes.

"I, I don't want you to put yourself in danger......" Xiao Yao said in a huttering manner.

This is a disaster that I have caused, I have already put Yu Luying and Xiaoxiong in, how can I affect more people? What's more, this man is still his own, his own ......

Shen Jie smiled, since she found her in the "Shuimu Year Slippery", Xiao Yao saw her smile from the bottom of her heart for the first time.

"Well, so am I." Shen Jie's eyes were shining.

"Huh? Yes? Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Alright, don't do it." The girl walked a few steps, shook her hand and spun around for half a circle, facing Xiao Yao: "Without me, you can't even read the scroll that came out, right?" ”
