Don't confiscate my citizenship

The pain of death filled Lan Qi's body, and his consciousness was almost torn apart.

Even if he was only simulating it in the spiritual world, he seemed to have experienced a fierce battle at this time. Not only was he truly experiencing a complete defeat, but he was also experiencing unforgettable emotions.

The moment he walked out of the Mirror of Tiberius, he staggered slightly and couldn't even stand still.

White light filled the air, and Talia appeared immediately, holding Lan Qi in front of her, preventing him from falling down.

This is the central energy room deep underground in Purgatory Corridor Academy.

"Lan Qi, are you okay?"

Thalia now regrets not stopping Ranchi from entering the Mirror of Tiberius.

Any legendary item is probably not a good thing.

She witnessed with her own eyes the entire process of Pope Saint Paulante's defeat, including being defeated by the immortal glazed body, being besieged by despair, being cut in half, and being shown to pieces.

Now they are back in the shadow world.

Thalia immediately paid attention to the information about the shadow world.

[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from my old friend Kaliera; go to Pascual, the demonic purgatory city \u0026 protect the little spark left by Kaliera; understand the Mirror of Tiberius. (Finish)】

[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lancross of the Black Sun: 19.53%. (Finish)】

[Mission goal 3: All challengers survive until the end of the 21-day time limit, with the remaining time being 5 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes. 】

Seeing Lanqi's understanding of Black Sun Qing soar, Talia's heart palpitated.

An experience with the Mirror of Tiberius brought Lan Qi much closer to the Black Sun, and even then it was only 20%?

Thalia looked at the cubic magic mirror behind Lan Qi, feeling fear in her heart.

"good."

Lan Qi's eyes still looked confused as if he had just woken up.

He did not try to be brave, but with Thalia's support, he sat on the steps in front of the Mirror of Tiberius.

"Lanchi, do you want to continue looking in the Mirror of Tiberius?"

Although Talia probably knew that she could not persuade Lanqi to stop, her concern made her couldn't help but say.

It was not just a fantasy, but a projection of the future that Lan Qi experienced almost personally.

She also sat next to Lan Qi.

"Does the two of us, every time, have the option to stop?"

Lan Qi turned his head and asked Thalia.

"really……"

Thalia understood that every time she hesitated, Ranchi would be determined, and every time Ranchi hesitated, she would be determined.

So from the first time they participated in the game at Golden Bee Amusement Park, the two of them were like a rivalry that would never stop, and would work with each other to the end no matter what.

"Then there's a beginning and an end, but if you're in a bad mood, don't ignore me, okay?"

Thalia put her hand on the back of Lan Qi's hand, trying to give his cold hand some warmth.

Previously, at the end of the Mirror of Tiberius, she saw Lan Qi like that, and she was worried.

"Master, does this sound like what you would say?"

Lanci asked Thalia, staring at her in surprise.

Why has Master Jiang become like a little girl?

Thalia also seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to touch Lan Qi, and she retracted her hand as if she was electrocuted.

after awhile.

"Haha, the more you want me to scold you, the more I won't let you see how gentle I am."

Thalia met Lanci's gaze calmly and smiled cheerfully at him.

She didn't seem to be hiding anything.

Ifatiya said that only a sense of contrast can make a man never forget you.

"..."

Lan Qi felt that he had to have a good talk with Ifatiya after returning to the living world.

She taught her sister some strange things.

Now Lan Qi didn't dare to tell Hyperion that he had found Miss Ifatia. He was afraid that Ifatia would say "brother" when they met, which would make it impossible for mother and daughter to get along with each other in the future.

"Do you think that your desire to talk to Ifatiya is very similar to your brother's attitude towards his sister?"

Thalia asked coldly as she sat aside.

She could actually hear Lan Qi's thoughts clearly.

"?"

Lan Qi listened to Thalia's rare complaint, his expression full of question marks.

"Actually, she's pretty good as a sister, so just accept it."

Thalia said to herself in a calm tone without any hint of encouragement.

"No, I will definitely clarify the seniority issue with Miss Ifatiya next time we meet."

Lan Qi said seriously.

"Ifatiya, do you think this glass of water will come to my brother's hand by itself?"

Thalia imitated Lanqi's tone and dubbed him.

She felt that this was how Lan Qi taught the issue of seniority.

"How could anyone talk to a classmate's mother like this?"

Lan Qi was made dumbfounded by Talia, covered her face and said.

He wanted to upgrade Yifatiya, not demote her.

The two chatted briefly, and the look on Lan Qi's face recovered a lot.

Several days passed quickly inside the Mirror of Tiberius, while only two hours passed outside the mirror.

On one side of the Purgatory Corridor Academy's energy center room, a small figure noticed the changes in the cubic mirror, walked around half a circle, and saw Lanci and Fake Kaliera sitting on the steps.

"You're back."

Tamisha looked at Lanqi from afar and welcomed.

Although she may be saying something welcoming, because she has no tone, it sounds like a statement.

Originally, she didn't intend to speak, but she was a little worried when she saw that the phantom was in a very bad state after walking out of the six-sided cube magic mirror, as if he had died once.

She didn't want the phantom that she had finally saved to die.

Lanqi signaled to Talia that he would go and explain to Tamisa, and Talia also understood and disappeared on the spot into pure white light and shadow.

He stood up from the steps and walked to Tamisa's side.

"Tamisha, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Lanqi squatted down and looked at Tamisa.

"Do you want to eat something? I left a lot for you."

Tamisa pointed to the four-layer lunch box on the side.

She only ate one box herself, and the other two boxes were left for the phantom's lunch.

"No, you have fed me well in the corridor before. Thanks to your care, I am alive."

Lanqi said to Tamisa with a smile.

"..."

Tamisha was slightly stunned. She rarely received such words of thanks and didn't know how to respond.

"Then I'll feed you when you're hungry. Eat well, otherwise you'll fall down again."

She could only say so.

"Then you also promise me that I'll stay here for a while, and you'll eat well at noon, otherwise your teachings won't be convincing, and I won't want to eat well either."

Lanqi answered her.

He pointed at the lunch box, meaning that Tamisha might need another box to fill her stomach at noon.

"Yeah."

Tamisha nodded.

After the voice fell.

Lanqi turned and walked towards the abyss-like deep purple mirror magic device behind him.

"Lanqi, you have a good relationship with her. She is willing to face you in her true form."

Talia said in Lanqi's heart.

Lanqi's mentality is so good. He just experienced such a real experience, and he can still talk softly with children after coming out.

Compared to those adults who look at children when they are in a bad mood.

It seems that he is indeed a good teacher and will be a good father in the future.

"Tamisa is a good child. She has both the tenacity of her father and the gentleness of her mother."

Lanqi said regretfully.

Whenever he saw Tamisa, he would think of the cold and handsome but actually silly Misty Lord and the talented demon girl Zhenye Lord who always hides herself but works hard.

"I think Tamisa is cute too."

Talia agreed.

Tamisa is simply a little Talia.

"Puff."

Lanqi almost laughed out loud.

Unless Talia can also turn into a little gray cat, he might admit what Talia said.

"You are dreaming! I will die in this life, starving to death outside the Cat Boss Restaurant, and I will never become a little gray cat!"

Talia warned Lanqi.

Lanqi had this idea more than once, but she would never turn into a little gray cat for Lanqi to pet!

After a short moment, Lanqi walked back to the Mirror of Tiberius on the steps.

The air at the edge of the mirror surface was layered due to the slight ripples of the power of the void, and the magic began to dance gently on the calm mirror surface.

Lanqi raised his hand to the mirror surface, and he moved forward slightly, and his figure stepped towards the mirror surface, merging into the void surrounded by deep purple light.

Then, Lanqi once again felt that he was falling rapidly from the sea of ​​stars, and from time to time, light and color intertwined.

Until the speed of falling began to slow down, gravity pressed on him sharply, and dazzling white light burst out from the exit and rushed towards him in an instant.

Everything evolved into understandable character information pouring into his mind.

[Inverted Future Illusion]

[Activated successfully]

[Number of uses remaining: 1]

[Name: Lanclos Saint Anastasius]

[Current status: Ninth level]

[Attribute: Seal/Light]

[Spells: Immortal Eternal Punishment, Chimera Edict, Glowing Corona, Eternal Destruction, Indestructible Glazed Body... The last gentle place. ]

[Accessories: Military badge of the Horning Empire Test Field, Broken Blade of the Loser, Ring Ring, Pocket Watch of the Traveler, Warm Company of the Witch, Stone Badge of Grete...Silver Mask of Saint Polante. ]

[Character attributes have been entered]

[Divination result: Death is approaching]

[Departure point: Demon Realm, Purgatory City Pascual, Suburbs, Purgatory Corridor Academy]

[Remaining life: 5 days, 11 hours and 06 minutes]

After this text came into his mind.

Lanqi's dizziness was not as strong as the last time.

He closed his eyes calmly and felt the surroundings.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already sitting in the principal's office of Purgatory Corridor Academy.

The biting cold wind outside the window, carrying scattered snowflakes, remained unchanged, rising wantonly in the sky of Pascual in the Demon Realm, and the white and golden midday sun shone into the principal's office.

It seemed that it was noon in Purgatory City.

Instead, the face wearing the silver-white mask was still reflected on the window glass not far away. The mask was welded to his face like a brand, and the cold emerald green eyes were clearly visible through the mask.

Just like the last time, after entering the [Mirror of Tiberius], he returned to the principal's office.

The next second, the translucent demon text began to appear in the field of vision -

[December 25, 614, Saint Polante Church. ]

[……]

[You felt the arrival of destiny at the Purgatory Corridor Academy and woke up. ]

[Probably in these last few days, your life is about to end. ]

[You just discovered through your precognitive dream that the current peace is just an illusion. The blood race still has no repentance. They are planning a bigger conspiracy in the Horning Empire. Everything is just to wait for your death so that they can start a counterattack. And they seem to have predicted all this and know when you will die and when you will start to weaken. ]

[You finally understand how Kaliela died. ]

[She had seen everything with her precognitive dream before you. ]

[But you still don’t understand why she saw everything but didn’t tell you directly, but let you choose whether to reveal the truth yourself. ]

[Is there something you haven’t seen? ]

[You can’t help but wonder, but you have already made up your mind. In this dream, you will definitely solve all the mysteries. ]

When Lanqi saw this, he found that the information stopped, and four options appeared.

[You will choose next:]

[A. Immortality and eternal punishment]

[B. Go to the Demon King's Castle]

[C. Return to the Theocracy]

[D. Personal intervention]

Lan Qi put his hands on the desk, clasped his fingers, and looked at the similarities and differences this time.

This simulation was based on the premise that Lan Keluos had already had the first simulation experience, and the information he held had also changed.

Compared with the last simulation, this time it was two hours later, and the initial time point was noon.

It means that the simulation start node of the Tiberius Mirror is based on the real time when the Tiberius Mirror is activated.

The reality has become noon, and the start time of the simulation in the Tiberius Mirror has also become noon.

The two hours later also made Lan Keluos no longer the limit state of the ninth level, but slightly lower.

"The only change in the options is that the original first option 'continue to stay' has been eliminated, because Lan Keluos knows about the turmoil in the southern Horning Empire and it is impossible for him to sit here."

Lan Qi murmured.

The key is that the "Stay" option is replaced by the new option "Undying Eternal Punishment".

Among the spells mastered by Lanclos of the Black Sun, the most core one is the epic spell called [Undying Eternal Punishment].

Its effect is to sacrifice a certain amount of life and mana to continuously lock the target's life state. The spell cannot be actively lifted. Excessive attacks on the sealed target will weaken the sealing effect. Using wolf blood or magic blood as a medium can reduce the life or mana cost.

"This spell doesn't say that it can't be used on yourself... So the first option means to use Undying Eternal Punishment on yourself immediately, lock your life state, and prevent yourself from getting weaker?"

Talia understood the meaning of this option.

As long as he uses Undying Eternal Punishment on himself, he can avoid falling to the eighth level when he arrives at Blood Moon City, thereby maintaining a nearly perfect state. At least before the fate is read out, he will be the ninth level!

"The answer is obvious."

Lan Qi was familiar with the Mirror of Tiberius, and this time he almost didn't have to think about the options. He was ready to make a choice, and his hand was already on the first option on the light screen in front of him.

"Wait for Lan Qi!"

Talia stopped Lan Qi.

"What's wrong?"

Lan Qi didn't seem to change his mind, just asked Talia.

"Have you ever thought that Lan Keluos actually knew that this method could lock the state before he died, but without knowing the conspiracy of the blood clan, that is, the situation in the first simulation, he didn't consider using the immortal punishment in this way. Do you feel that once you use the immortal punishment on yourself, you may pay a very terrible price, and you don't know what the price is yet?"

Talia thought that Lan Keluos couldn't be stupid.

If the immortal punishment was really so useful, Lan Keluos should have used it before setting off even if he didn't know what the crisis was.

And this is the Mirror of Tiberius, a masterpiece of the demon legend that transcends common sense.

Even if it is a price, it may be simulated for you realistically.

At that time, he might face some fears that are not even worth mentioning, even death.

"No matter what the price is, I believe that Lanclos will not hesitate even if he knows what will happen."

Lan Qi sighed and said to Talia with a helpless smile.

There was no trace of fear in his eyes.

But that was not bravery and fearlessness.

It was a kind of persistence.

"Okay, then no matter what the price is, I will face it with you."

Talia hesitated for a moment and made up her mind.

Anyway, she was with Lan Qi, and even if they had to face the price, they would bear it together.

"Thank you, Master."

Lan Qi knew that Talia could stay outside and not accompany him to take risks in the Mirror of Tiberius, but she followed him in again without thinking about it.

He was very grateful to Talia.

Then, he confirmed the eternal punishment of immortality.

In an instant, the office in front of him began to be filled with monstrous black fog magic.

The originally stable barrier magic power on the office wall began to fluctuate, as if being pulled by mysterious rules.

The lights suddenly became dimmer.

Lanqi and Talia only saw that the huge magic power gathered in the air was emitting fluctuations similar to those of Lord Black Sun, but it was more terrifying and more like the supreme power of the demon world.

The black fog gathered and woven, and even the air began to tremble, until it finally enveloped Lanqi, forming a black venomous snake around him, and finally the lingering black fog suddenly shrank and rushed into his face.

During the whole process, he was protected by an invisible force, and the space around him formed an isolated field.

When the spell engraved in the black fog fell on Lanqi's left cheek, the surrounding magic fluctuations gradually subsided, the light dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

[You don't know what the consequences of using immortal punishment on yourself will be. ]

[But you used it resolutely. ]

[Because you know that only in this way can you maintain your state and defeat several ancestors of Blood Moon City. ]

The demon text of the Mirror of Tiberius appeared again.

[Will you go next:]

[A. Nakalis]

[B. Saint Trik]

[C. Hansabek]

[D. Personal intervention]

[Remaining life: 5 days, 11 hours and 02 minutes]

New choices also emerged.

"Lanqi, are you okay?"

Talia asked Lanqi hurriedly.

She couldn't check Lanqi's body now, so she couldn't help him confirm his condition.

"I don't feel any changes, except that my left cheek feels like it's been branded with a stinging mark."

Lanqi took off his mask briefly, looked at his reflection, which looked more like a demon, and answered Talia.

In addition, he no longer saw any signs of weakening.

He put the mask back on his face, covering the violent spell that was engraved on his cheek like a black centipede. At this moment, he felt his own forbidden power that would never wither.

The real invincible mode began.
