Chapter 3 Mr. Mirror
Just when the people at the entrance of the bookstore were fighting fiercely, on the other hand, on the rooftop of a building one kilometer away from the bookstore.
"It's so slow..." A black woman was holding a telescope and chewing gum, while watching the game, complaining, "Pretending Paul's guy, I thought Hanazuka Jun was still a reliable man... Is it suppressed by someone?"
As he finished speaking, he leaned against the guardrail near her, a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette continued: "Don't worry..." He let out a sip of cigarettes, "Don't forget that their primary task is to 'lead out' all the guards around the bookstore, and 'eliminating the opponent if conditions permit' is just a secondary order."
"You mean... Hanamatsu and the others were deliberately releasing water to test if there is anyone else in the dark?" asked the black woman.
"I think this is possible." The middle-aged man replied, "Think about it, if the other party has other secret whistles that have not been exposed, then under what circumstances will they show up?" He asked and replied, "At least... if it were me, I would choose to take action when the battle is even balanced or even stalemate, so as to give the enemy a 'sudden attack' and make a final decision. And if Hanatzuka and the others act too strong or too weak, then I will probably not show up."
"Well..." the black woman thought for a while, "Have you ever thought about it... What if Hanazaka and the others were not releasing water, but were simply suppressed?"
"Then we will wait until they can't hold on before going out to support us." The middle-aged man replied, "Although that may make us passive, if the enemy's strength is really that strong, we can only deal with it in this way."
When they said this, suddenly, a third voice joined their conversation.
"But if... even you are forced into a desperate situation, who can support you?"
This sudden sentence made the scalp of these two people feel like it was blown up...
They both numb from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, and their bodies were filled with electric shock.
At that moment, lines like "who" or "who" popped up in their mouths. They acted one step faster than speaking.
The black woman was "invisible" the next second when she heard the sound of her speech; while the middle-aged man immediately turned around and summoned several blood-colored inscriptions... The inscriptions were lined up like snowflakes, staying in the air slightly higher than his head, emitting bloody light, which was obviously very high-level.
"Don't be so nervous." The person who suddenly interrupted, answered in a very calm tone, "Since I take the initiative to talk to you, it means I don't mean to do it...at least, not yet."
After he finished the second sentence, the black woman and the middle-aged man calmed down from his initial shock and looked at the visitor in front of him... He was a man covered in a black robe. Judging from his voice, he should be a pretty young man. Because his black robe was very wide and he also had a cap, his hair, hands, and even shoes were covered.
Not only that, the man also wore a mask and a mirror mask on his face.
"I don't know who you are, what's the point of asking us for?" The middle-aged man did not let go of his guard, but he didn't mind using words to test this "mistor-faced person".
"You can call me 'Mr. Mirror'." Mr. Mirror replied almost without thinking.
This is obviously not a real name, nor is it a "name" on Daoer. Generally speaking, if the other party gives such an answer that seems to be a pre-written one, it is basically equivalent to saying to you: "I have nothing to say about identity. I will give you a title, so don't ask more questions."
"As for my purpose of looking for you... I just want to persuade you." Mr. Jing said, "With the opportunity now, hurry up and take the Noisy Master and Syndicate to retreat together. With the ability of you two, you should be able to rescue your companions and escape unscathed."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man thought for a few seconds after hearing this, and responded slowly, "You seem to know us very well."
He is still testing...
"You are the 'blood magician', Hugh j. Irving..." Mr. Jing said, suddenly raised his hand and pointed his black gloves at an open space on his side. "She is the 'ghost', Ash Latifa..." He paused and said again, "Your mission today is to sneak into the bookstore while Hanazuka and Paul attracted all the guards around the bookstore, and reunite with the 'imitator' Sui who had already been infiltrated in advance, and then try to rescue the 'Jurio Gimenez' who was captured by the reverse cross."
These words made Xiu in chaos.
He was not surprised that his identity was recognized, but the content of his mission today was issued by Changzun himself. It is logical that outsiders could not know about it.
However... the "Mr. Mirror" in front of him said the content of their tasks, participants, and everyone's responsibilities, which is a bit incredible.
"Don't be fooled by him, please." Two seconds later, Ash's voice suddenly rang. Although her figure was still unseen by the naked eye, her voice came into her companion's ears like a ghostly whisper. "This person is probably a 'mind reader' ability. He just reads our memories and makes a fool of himself."
After her analysis, Xiu felt it made sense, so he immediately sneered and responded, "Ha... So that's it." He spitted out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and said to Mr. Jing, "Brother, stop pretending to be a god or a ghost. You are also one of the guards placed around the bookstore in the cross, right? Because he judged that he could not defeat both of us by force, he planned to use psychological tactics to deceive us to retreat, right?"
Don't think that you have seen through the other party.
However……
"It's okay to use force to let you retreat." Mr. Jing remained calm, "If you insist on deciding that I am a person who is against the Cross..." He raised his right hand and made a "please" gesture, "... Then attack me." He paused for a moment, and added, "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I have to leave you to report to the Lord; but Hanazuka and Paul... I can't control it."
His reaction made Hugh and Ash nervous again.
Is this "Mr. Mirror" with unknown origin a bluffing whistle, or a powerful third-party force that they don't know?
They must judge the truth in a short time, because... Hanazuka and Syndicate on the other side have fallen into a tough battle in these few minutes.
At this moment, even without a telescope, it can be seen that under the cover of the sniper, Kaijiu was about to defeat Hanazuka and Syndicate alone.
The opponent's strength seemed to have exceeded their previous estimates, especially Kaijiu, a "rabbit" guy... Judging from his attitude, even if there is no sniper help in the dark, he can still fight with one against two. If there is no accident, Kaijiu is at least "bad" and may even be even higher.
"I understand..." After a moment, Xiu finally made a judgment, "We are retreating."
"What?" Ashe's speech floated, "Are you sure?"
"He has settled the accounts clearly." Before Xiu could answer, Mr. Jing said first, "But you... your brain is a little slow." While he was speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Slow down!" The next second, Ashe rushed behind Mr. Jing with one step and grabbed the other person's shoulder.
The moment his hand grabbed the other person, Ashna's body that had been hiding for a long time also appeared.
She was also surprised at why her invisible state would be released without the ability to release her ability.
But this...it will soon be no longer a problem.
"Um..." After a breath, Ash groaned.
Before the panic expression could climb onto her face, his brain had not yet realized what was going on... Just this breath interval, Ash's body and clothes turned into gravel and dissipated with the wind.
