Bai Xi closed her eyes to shut out the chaotic thoughts in her head, and when she opened them again, only calmness remained in her eyes.
"I don't care what you are that you came from, or what your purpose is in bewitching me, but I will get the answers to these questions sooner or later."
"I don't need to hear anything from you, just let me go."
She never craved a simple result. Sometimes, even if you know the so-called truth, what good will it do?
If she doesn't have the capacity to bear the truth, even if she knows it, she will only be immersed in pain in advance.
If she were a pawn, and if all of this were a conspiracy by some powerful being, could she change the situation simply by hearing about it?
Bai Xi didn't think so.
It's better to rely on yourself; after all... she's always managed to turn the tables.
She has that confidence.
Perhaps Bai Xi was too calm, showing no sign of being swayed in her emotions, because the woman in the mirror fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
"I know all your doubts, and I can answer them for you. Why don't you trust me?"
The woman in the mirror refused to give up and continued to persuade him.
Bai Xi stared intently into the mirror, her meaning clear.
"Let me leave."
Generally speaking, the abilities of spirits are relatively limited. Apart from their strong ability to bewitch, their other abilities should theoretically be quite poor.
Bai Xi believes that as long as she stays true to herself and stays true to herself, she may not be affected.
In fact, it was exactly as she had thought.
"You don't need to pay any price."
The woman in the mirror was unwilling to accept this, and she was still using a persuasive tone. Her previously indifferent face, which had never been moved, now showed an emotion called 'unwillingness'.
Bai Xi's strong inner strength left the mirror helpless, unable to gain any advantage, and the mirrored version of her and Bai Xi were locked in a stalemate.
But since she looked abnormal in the mirror, it meant that she did indeed have a problem.
So-called divinity is just her disguise in the mirror.
Bai Xi became even more convinced that her decision was correct and that she would never compromise with someone of unknown origin.
Time passed second by second, and even Bai Xi didn't know how long she had persisted. Finally, amidst the repeated advice, she gave up struggling and vanished as a shadow.
The violent banging on the door returned to her ears, and Bai Xi's mind went blank for a moment, as if she were in another world.
Just now, she really thought a very, very long time had passed.
"Bai Xi, Bai Xi! Are you alright?"
Roy anxiously circled Bai Xi, his voice filled with deep worry.
"...I'm fine."
Bai Xi rubbed her temples, looking around at the darkness with a blank expression. She had just been standing in front of a huge, bright mirror, and now she was back in a dark little house.
"What...did you just see?"
After calming down, Bai Xi asked Luo Yi and the others a question.
In the darkness, the little jellyfish and Leia exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.
"No, it's just that you inexplicably lost consciousness and didn't respond no matter how I called you."
Leia, still looking like a chubby little green bird, flapped her wings and flew to Baixi.
"...I see."
Bai Xi fell silent.
As expected, the mirror was aimed at her, so the Bone Lord must have been bewitched by the mirror, which is why he looked so abnormal.
In addition, there was a faint aura about him that seemed to connect him to the abyss...
Could that mirror be related to Tartarus?
Uncertainty arose in Bai Xi's heart.
She fell into deep thought, but the increasingly frantic banging on the door clearly wouldn't wait for her. Helpless, Bai Xi had no choice but to temporarily abandon trying to figure out these chaotic things. What she needed to do now was...
We need to think about how to escape.
I had thought this room might have a window or something, but now I see there definitely isn't.
Bai Xi sighed quietly.
...
"Hey bro, should we go check out that ruins area too?"
Sper rested his chin on his arm, his face full of boredom, and his voice was lazy and listless.
"Yes, the guild is going to arrange for us to go, so we'll go."
Spitbol responded calmly, showing great tolerance for his younger brother.
After leaving the temple, they joined the Continental Mage Guild. Although it wasn't as comfortable as staying in the temple, it was relatively free.
As honorary mages with official titles, they only need to carry out some tasks occasionally, and are otherwise quite free.
The Mage Guild also provides them with certain benefits.
This is an organization with a very high cost-performance ratio. Theoretically, they could have joined before, but because their identities were not compliant, the Mage Guild was hesitant to accept them.
Now that they have the Temple of Light's recognition, it's a kind of positive resume, so naturally they'll be accepted.
"Okay, I've been really bored lately anyway, I'm about to die of boredom."
Sper slumped onto the table, exhausted, his face buried in his arms, only his fluffy red hair showing, and muffled sounds came from his arms.
"Um."
Spitbol nodded and said nothing more, and the air became very quiet.
After a long pause, he finally spoke softly.
"You haven't caused any trouble in a long time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Spurr seemed to freeze in place. He had been moving around on the table, but now he was completely stiff.
After waiting for a long time, I finally heard his reply, which sounded rather strange.
“She was angry before; she didn’t like it.”
One sentence seemed to pull the two Geminis back to two years ago, and Spitt fell silent.
After they left the temple, they never mentioned Maggie again, even though she had helped them a great deal and should be considered their benefactor and friend.
But since the person is already dead, nothing can be done to change anything, so it's better to... forget them.
They are a long-lived race, with lifespans of hundreds of years, and have witnessed all kinds of life disappearances. They thought they were used to it, but in reality... it's still too difficult.
Even if that person has been gone for a long time, their actions can no longer be as unrestrained as before.
Before I even think about doing something, her image will flash through my mind, and I can't forget it.
"The Temple of Light will also be there."
Spitbol lowered his eyes, suppressing the complex emotions in his heart, and spoke to Spitbol.
"oh....."
Spur pursed his lips, clearly having considered that if he went to the Temple of Light, he would run into acquaintances, people connected to Maggie, and would recall even more things.
"Let's...go."
He heard himself say that.
As it turns out, there's no use running away from some things. Two whole years have passed, and no matter how much I want to forget, I can't. Maybe it's time to face it.
