As for why this resentful spirit is trapped in a glass frame, Xiao Qi gives an answer related to the extraordinary ability of the "witch".

"The world in the mirror?"

"The world in the mirror is not a complete and independent world, unlike the material world in which we live or the spiritual world that overlaps with it, nor does it involve another world where the gods are located. The essence of the world in the mirror is to construct a passage to another mysterious realm, connecting different mirrors. ”

Esther looked at the skinless face at the head of the bed: "That means that this passage is not fixed. ”

"Yes, if you get lost inside, it is possible for the mirror world to go anywhere, not limited to reality. Only some extraordinary people with special abilities can use the power or passage of the world in the mirror without getting lost in it. ”

"She shouldn't have gotten to that point? You just said that 'witches' only have sequence seven. ”

"I'm afraid she was blocked when she tried to deflect other people's attacks through the mirror stand-in, and then she was directly deprived of her life by the other party, and she died before she even fully used this ability, leaving only a little remnant soul attached to it."

Xiao Qi said that it was the job of a "decryption scholar" to analyze through clues, and the large amount of knowledge stored in its mind made it understand all kinds of situations more comprehensively than Asther.

Esther gradually had a clearer plan: "If I find another mirror, can I transfer her out?" It's better than letting her stay in here all the time. ”

"Then the mirror you found will most likely gain the ability to resemble magical items, but it can only last for a very short period of time, and then the transferred spirit will dissipate, after all, you don't have the proper means to preserve the spirit."

Esther frowned, she really couldn't save Hades when she came—no, no, what if there really was Hades in this world? So many gods have shown their tracks, and you can't think about it.

The face was staring at her closely, and Esther seemed to vaguely understand the meaning in that look at her at this moment.

Help me.

It didn't want to be trapped inside this pane of glass anymore.

Even if it is destroyed, it wants to be free.

Esther patted her forehead, and the surrounding points of light gathered with her movements, and obediently stuck to her hair: "Forget it, that's it, I'll go buy a mirror tomorrow." If only you could find a cheaper portable flip mirror. ”

"Why do you empathize with anything?" Xiao Qi is bored by Esther's excessive "compassion".

A smirk tugged at the corner of Esther's mouth: "How did I know that she was lucky to meet me." ”

The wraith in the painting seemed to understand Esther's words, and it closed its eyes gratefully, and the tears that continued to flow from the corners of its eyes faded. It wasn't until the first rays of sunlight shone into the room through the window that the skinless face naturally faded into the reflection of the glass, leaving no trace.

It's dawn.

——

Early in the morning, Xiao Qi finally chose to stay in the hotel room, while Asther took Xiao Wu, who had been sleeping, and went out alone.

Now, she's sitting in a café, habitually asking for a copy of the Beckland Morning Post, flipping through hot cocoa and cheese toast. She was looking for an advertisement for the Enst firm to buy goods, which was a signal for the underground gathering of the extraordinary.

She scrolled through the headlines: "Yesterday, the venerable Duke Negan was assassinated, and the real demon ravaged the land".

Esther re-read the article from the first line because she scanned the keyword "Aurora Society" in the detailed report, and quickly read the synopsis, the Duke assassination ended with the suspect Patrick Jason being killed on the spot, according to the article, the terrorist organization Aurora Society claimed responsibility for the incident.

Will the aurora go crazy like this? Dare to carry such a big thing?

Esther was a little surprised, although a duke was an aristocratic class that she would not come into contact with, and it was extremely far away from her life, but the shadow left by Mr. A and the "listener" Norne Murphy of the Aurora Society was still quite big, and it seemed that something too crazy and extraordinary person did not seem to be unexpected.

Esther has no interest in finding out the specific situation, and most people have the same mentality when they see "big news" that has nothing to do with them, just look at it.

In the end, she did not see the advertisement for the Annst Firm, so she had to use the rest of her breakfast while trying to remember the strange dream she had had last night.

The white snake felt so familiar to her, where she should have sensed a similar power.

The "spiritual intuition" in her mind touched slightly, and Esther's hand froze, and the previous experience of running to the cemetery for no reason came back to her memory.

Grimm Cemetery? At that time......

She found a birch tree near the roots of the tree that had been dug up first!

Hurrying through breakfast, Esther boarded the steam train, then changed to a horse-drawn carriage and headed straight for Grimm Cemetery on the outskirts of the West End, where she decided to check again.

Curiously, at the entrance of the cemetery, Esther met a lady who gave her a strong sense of familiarity, and although she could not see the face under the black gauze hat, she could only see the lady's long, slightly curly brown hair hanging down to her chest. The lady walked gently beside another middle-aged gentleman, who was holding a delicate bouquet of flowers in his hand, and it was obvious that he had come to visit someone.

The lady, in particular, felt so familiar to Esther that she must have spoken somewhere.

Esther lowered her eyes and patted her forehead with her palm, as if trying to fix an antique desktop television with a slightly worse signal, the kind that didn't exist in this world.

“…… The familiarity of the astral spirits? ”

Her spiritual instincts reluctantly went to work, barely squeezing out a little feedback to return to silence, but Esther quickly remembered the Tarot Society, where everyone was pulled into the gray mist in a soul state, the spirit body of the occult, and the outward manifestation was the star spirit!

With this association, Esther's target quickly locked on the "magician", and she observed the lazy temperament of the lady, and there was basically no one else.

Want to go up and say hello?

Esther hesitated, the Tarot congregation almost did not have any intersection in reality on the surface, scattered in various fields and social circles, and even no one in the same way was the same, and the criteria for selecting the "fools" seemed to be quite random.

She went up so rashly to say hello, it seemed that it was more likely to make the other party dissatisfied, although Miss "Magician" seemed easy-going, but she certainly didn't want others to know that she was believing in a god of unknown origin, and it was too risky to recognize her.

Esther slowed down, and instead of continuing to follow the two of them, she turned in the direction she remembered outside the cemetery.

The lady suddenly turned her head and looked blankly in this direction, and only a black figure wearing a hood fell into her azure eyes, which looked very familiar and inexplicably gave her a little intimacy.

Where have you met someone?

——

Esther's search at Grimm's Graveyard was still fruitless, and she let the point of light sink under the ground again, still getting no return, and there was nothing underneath.

After wasting a lot of time, Esther made her way to Jowood, where she found a small vanity mirror with a clamshell in a department store, about the size of her palm, tucked directly into her satchel, and no more than the Byron-style sandhammer.

If she hadn't packed her backpack today, Esther would have forgotten about it, it would hardly have been useful, but she was reluctant to throw it away, so she had to keep it with her, and Esther assigned a few points of light to blend into it to isolate the "rustling" sound it would make from time to time.

After paying eight suckers and ten pence in cash, Esther spent the rest of the afternoon playing in Jowood, and it was not until late evening that she took the roasted whole chicken and milk pudding with the stuffing, which was famous in the neighborhood restaurant, and took a horse-drawn carriage to Minsk Street, where Klein lived.

The day before yesterday, I said goodbye to my fellow countryman, but the result has been delayed until now, I just hope that he is still at home and has not gone out to run errands.

Shortly after Klein returned home from the "Brave Bar", he heard from Miss Sharon that there was a mausoleum belonging to the Amon family in Whitecliff.

Before Crane could tell Sharon and Marić that he had acquired the Shadow of Human Skin trait, he had thought that the danger was not that high, but after hearing that Marić's friends had not heard from him again, he rejudged the mausoleum.

I didn't expect the fellow to take the risk of going to such a dangerous place, and Marić's friends may be the group of people Esther met at that time. This incident made Crane's spiritual instincts faintly uneasy, and he decisively planned to give this clue to the "mechanical heart", and maybe get some gold pounds as a reward when the time comes.

If you don't make a decision, let the official extraordinary person go on.

But now is not the time to talk about "business", and there is still a moment before the deal time Klein and Emlyn White have agreed to, enough for him to have dinner at home at a leisurely pace.

Esther sat at the table with Klein, and it wasn't until they were almost finished eating that she mentioned the strange things she had encountered yesterday, including the strange thing she had happened when she had fought with Calwin.

"That is, when your consciousness becomes blank, His consciousness appears......"

Klein immediately remembered that during the Tingen period, he was on duty at the Chanis Gate at midnight, but met "Esther" who sleepwalked and grabbed the seal "Doom Puppet", and "she" even called out her name in Chinese at that time.

It's strange, how did this unidentified being know this? Can He share Esther's memories?

"It's a dangerous experience, but there's no next time! If He wakes up so often, no one knows what will become of Him. ”

Esther nodded vigorously, "I know, I just wanted to steal my anger away and at least calm myself down." But I still overestimated my ability and failed to do that......"

"The idea is good, maybe you can do it when you move up to a higher sequence."

"Speaking of which, there's one more thing that concerns me."

Klein poured new hot black tea for the two of them, and it was always comforting to drink something warm on a cold day: "What? Did you really find a clue to a promotion? ”

"It should be. I dreamed of a lonely wilderness, with a great silver-white serpent coiled around the top of a black spire. ”

Klein showed his curiosity just right, without revealing the turmoil in his heart:

"Is this a revelatory dream? And then what? ”

"And as soon as I got closer to that, I alarmed it, and I woke up."

Klein kind of wanted to laugh.

Esther was kicked out by Will Unsetin.
