The Master of the Strange Realm

The barking of a wild dog came from the corner of the alley ahead, and the cat immediately turned and ran towards Jenkins. Jenkins had to put the letter away temporarily and lift his cat onto his shoulder.

The wild animals in the city are very fierce, and living independently for many years has allowed them to develop the skills of hunting and fighting. Compared to them, Chocolate, pampered at home, is like a fluffy, delicious marshmallow that needs Jenkins' protection to stay safe.

Robert and Mary, who were traveling abroad, also learned about the catastrophe that happened in Nolan through newspaper news. The two sent separate letters to Jenkins asking if he had been affected by the incident.

They were horrified when they found out about it, but luckily Jenkins was the only one of the Willamettes in Nolan.

The Willamette family's spring trip won't end until this weekend. In fact, Jenkins hopes that their trip can be longer. After all, Nolan is not safe. But Robert's work cannot be delayed. His career at Smith Union Mining Company is now at its peak, and a week's travel vacation is already the limit.

Back at Dad’s Antique Shop, there were still no customers in the shop. After closing the door in the thick fog, Jenkins saw his father reading a new newspaper.

He didn't look up when he heard Jenkins come in. After learning that he had already had lunch in the church, he asked Jenkins to sort out the recent accounts first. There were still important things to do in the afternoon.

"What's important? Aren't you going to pack up the warehouse?"

"Have you forgotten? You have now become a fourth-level gifter. This is a big change. Not only can you learn new abilities and rituals, but more importantly, the photocopying is no longer valid!"

Jenkins has indeed forgotten this matter. He became a fourth-level gifter, but it happened a long time ago.

In fact, there is no accounting problem in the store, because the antique store has not been open for many days. Jenkins just spent some time dealing with the issues left over from last year's collection period, and found that he had nothing to do.

Dad put down the newspaper, got up and went to the warehouse at the back to get something, asking Jenkins to wait a moment. Jenkins opened the file bag containing the Mirror Realm information and prepared to see if there was any interesting content inside.

Chocolate also walked over from the other side of the counter, stretched out his head and sniffed at the document bag, but did not move away when Jenkins stretched out his hand to press the top of his head.

"Speaking of which, the Mirror World may pull items or living creatures from the material world into it at any time, so there are also legends about the Mirror World among ordinary people."

He was thinking as he rotated the thread on the file bag's thread buckle, but did not see the cat suddenly raise its head and look around alertly.

Chapter 948 Chapter 931 Broken Mirror

In the peaceful antique shop, the cat was still alert, and Jenkins still didn't realize what was going to happen next.

"It is not a common occurrence for the Mirror Realm to absorb matter. Even if it is witnessed, it is very likely to be regarded as an illusion, so the church does not often receive relevant reports. Only the rare opening of the Mirror Realm entrance has been completely recorded, and Exploring the mirror world has never happened before... Of course, it’s possible that I don’t know.”

He was still thinking about the mirror world in his mind.

Chocolate's eyes looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror facing the counter. When Jenkins took it to the antique store for the last time, the mirror didn't exist yet, so it must have been a new item that was recently acquired.

"Actually, the entrance to the mirror world is not limited to mirrors. Any object that can achieve 'reflection' can be used, including water and clean ground. So, I don't know if human eyes can..."

He was thinking wildly as he prepared to take out the contents of the document bag. The church's confidential document bags are usually processed with rituals. If someone is not allowed to open it, the information inside will be automatically burned and leave an indelible mark on the unauthorized opener. That's why Jenkins will give chocolates when opening the document bag. Stand back.

"Meow~"

The cat's threatening cry suddenly sounded in his ears. Jenkins raised his head and finally realized that something was wrong with the mirror in front of him.

The counter and the people and cats in front of the counter are not directly reflected in the mirror. At this time, there is a rotating black vortex in the mirror.

Looking at the vortex, it was like looking directly into the most terrifying abyss. An illusion of being sucked in appeared in Jenkins' mind, and he subconsciously moved his eyes away from the mirror.

The next second, a man and a cat flew up uncontrollably and were sucked directly into the mirror. The moment the two creatures entered the mirror, the mirror exploded into powder, and dense cracks appeared in the space near the mirror. Spider-web-like cracks destroyed half of the nearby shelves.

The continuous cracking sounds attracted Dad. When he hurried over from the backyard with a gun, there were no traces of the space shattering. Fragments of the mirror were scattered everywhere, mixed with antique fragments of various materials on the shelves.

It was so quiet here, as if the sounds just now were all hallucinations.

"Jenkins? Chocolate?"

Dad shouted tentatively, looking at the empty store. But neither the human nor the cat responded to him.

He turned around and looked around again, and finally saw one of Jenkins' shoes among the wreckage of the mirror. The black leather shoe lay quietly among the shiny debris.

"Oh, sage~"

Dad couldn't help but groaned while covering his forehead.

(Chocolate is watching the moon...)

The body was shaking in the airflow, and there was nothing around to hold on to. Jenkins hadn't figured out what had happened to him yet, so he could only hold the file bag with one hand and his cat with the other.

The sound of glass breaking was clear in his ears, and he was finally able to tell through vision that he seemed to be flying in a pile of mirrors.

But the next moment, the mirrors broke into pieces at the same time, and Jenkins fell into a coma with a harsh sound.

When he woke up again, the first feeling was that the cat's tail was touching his cheek. After opening his eyes, it was not surprising that he saw a strange vision. Although there was no dad to dub, at least Chocolate was not lost.

He was lying in a foggy alley at the moment. The graffiti on the wall was the common language of his country, and the buildings he saw were all distinctive Nolan characteristics.

He picked up the cat and put it on his shoulder, and Chocolate rubbed his face happily to show his intimacy.

"Meow~"

The history of the mirror world is earlier than the birth of Chocolate, and in fact, it has never been here. But it looks very interesting here, and the cat has smelled a lot of familiar smells.

"Is this... the mirror world?"

After a brief confusion, Mr. Writer finally guessed the truth. He saw the words on the wall that were flipped left and right. He reached out his hand and tried to touch it. The touch was no different from the material in the real world.

"Damn... God, I didn't do anything, why did I suddenly suffer such misfortune?"

I'm afraid no one can answer this question.

It's useless to complain about yourself. After a short period of trouble, Jenkins decided to find a place to rest first and read the information in the file bag in his hand before making plans.

After walking out of the alley, the scenery on the street was very familiar, but it was completely flipped. The whole city was covered with thick fog. Jenkins thought it was the mirror world corresponding to the thick fog in the real world, but after wearing a monocle, the fog only dissipated partly. He realized belatedly that the mirror world itself was covered by a fog with extraordinary power from an unknown source, which was a fog that even the gifted glasses could not see through.

This is obviously the flipped Nolan City, but there are no living things. The silence in the fog was terrifying. After the fog was pushed away, there were shops on the street that were open but empty. Everything was no different from reality.

The sun in the sky could only provide light and heat, but it was still running according to time, just from west to east.

I first found a shoe and hat store to change a pair of shoes. I wanted to pick a random store to rest and sort out the current situation before making further plans, but heavy footsteps suddenly appeared in the silent fog, and a dark shadow turned from the corner of the street.

Jenkins was stunned, and quickly hugged his cat and neatly followed the sewer pipe and climbed onto the second-floor balcony of the house next door. The balcony was half covered with stone slabs to prevent people from falling, so you can hide after lying down. But there was already someone lying on the balcony, it was a woman.

"Don't make a sound!"

The woman just opened her mouth and made a mouth shape, and Jenkins barely understood the meaning. Both of them lay down tacitly and did not move. Jenkins's sight was blocked by the balcony baffle and he could not see below, but from the sound coming from far away, the walking creature's weight was probably more than three times that of Jenkins.

Lying next to Jenkins was a young woman with blonde hair, but unlike Britney's almost shining blonde hair, her hair color was closer to Jenkins's, restrained and dull. The woman was very beautiful, with a natural beauty. She wore a simple black robe with only silver thread embroidered on her chest. It was the holy emblem of the righteous god [Spirit of All Things]. Judging from the light of the woman's ability, she was a clergyman from the [All Things and Nature] Church.

Chapter 949 Chapter 932 The Mirror World of Thick Fog

The mirror world shrouded in thick fog, Nolan, Jenkins and the strange woman all lay on the balcony and dared not move. The woman first looked at Jenkins' face, and then looked at the cat protected in his arms.

Although she concealed it well, Jenkins still saw the expression that wanted to laugh. He opened his mouth to say something, but reason suppressed his impulse.

The owner of the footsteps downstairs had a black aura. When it passed the street downstairs, the strong stench made the two people and the cat upstairs almost run away. But the footsteps disappeared immediately when they were a little further away. Jenkins, who couldn't hold his breath, gasped regardless of the risk of being discovered.

The woman beside him behaved the same way, and seemed to be more sensitive to the stench. The cat protected in his arms looked better. It just got into Jenkins' clothes and tried to use the fabric of the clothes to filter the air.

"Sigrid Cape."

After the footsteps disappeared completely, the two people on the balcony dared to stand up and speak. The woman said her name first, and then generously extended her hand to Jenkins.

Jenkins hesitated and stretched out his hand to shake her hand, "Jenkins Williamette."

He was using his own face now, so he also said his real name. The woman looked a little surprised. She looked at Jenkins' face again and nodded:

"I have heard of your name, Mr. William. Before I went to Nolan, someone mentioned to me that the incident with Constantine in Cheslan Kingdom last year was really thanks to you. Hello, let me introduce myself again. I am Sigrid Capet from the [Church of All Things and Nature]. I was sent by the Holy See to Nolan to deliver some information to the [Church of Ocean and Exploration]. I encountered an accident just after getting off the train."

While introducing her identity, she released her soul emblem. Coincidentally, her soul emblem was also from the Green Life series, but the pattern looked like a leek. Jenkins thought it would be better not to point this out.

Releasing the soul emblem was a friendly gesture, and Jenkins decided to trust her for the time being.

As she got up and went downstairs, the woman continued:

"I accidentally entered here three days ago, but before that I had heard about Nolan's tracking of the mirror world. May I ask... were you sent here?"

Miss Capet was hoping that Jenkins could take her out, but unfortunately her hope was completely dashed. After learning that Jenkins and his cat also entered accidentally, she showed an undisguised look of disappointment. But she quickly adjusted her mood and invited Jenkins to continue the adventure here with her.

The mirror world is not as peaceful as the fake world of weird things that Jenkins has experienced. It is full of dangers. The weird thing that just passed below them was the weird thing [Gas Messenger] that was once numbered A-11-02-3339. It was a weird thing that was eliminated at the beginning of this era because the church believed that it no longer existed.

"In fact, it still exists, but it entered the mirror world by accident. This world also has the passage of time, so everything that can move is worthy of vigilance."

After the two came down from the balcony, they moved from the alley behind the house to another street. Miss Cape had two more companions, and they were also the benefactors of the Orthodox Church.

"But the danger is not limited to those weird things or other inexplicable things that enter the mirror world. This world itself is also quite dangerous."

Jenkins and Chocolate listened carefully to every word she said. When following behind the woman, Jenkins inexplicably felt that her back was so familiar, but he couldn't tell who she looked like. Miss Cape's number, type and spin speed of light spots are different from those of everyone Jenkins knows, so she can't be an acquaintance.

"... Be careful of the mirror."

"Huh?"

Because he was distracted just now, Jenkins didn't hear the previous words, but only caught the word "be careful" and came back to his senses.

"Mirrors in the mirror world represent danger. Once an object that shouldn't be a mirror becomes a mirror, all objects centered on it will be mirrored in a short period of time. After about ten minutes, the mirroring will disappear, and the material will return to its original state, but the living body cannot recover. I think you should understand what I mean."

"I understand, then is the frequency of such events high?"

Jenkins asked.

"Not high, I haven't encountered it in the three days since I entered here. This is the information provided by friends who entered before me, Miss Warfield..."

Kacha~

A clear shattering sound came from not far away, and at the same time, there was also the sound of panicked footsteps. Miss Cape's hearing level is similar to Jenkins, and the two stopped at the same time.

The footsteps turned from the left side of the intersection in front of them in a blink of an eye. The two panicked women ran directly towards Jenkins and Miss Cape. Behind them, the mirror assimilated the world like the waves of the ocean, and the silver mirror surface was particularly shining in the thick fog.

"Damn it, run!"

Jenkins only had time to say this sentence before turning around and running, and Miss Cape ran even faster than him. Mirrorization is one of the most common natural disasters in the mirror world. This kind of event is as common as rain and earthquakes in the material world.

There is no way to deal with it. Just turn around and run when you encounter it.

The two women being chased are obviously the companions mentioned by Miss Cape, and it is very coincidental that Jenkins actually knows those two people. In fact, he didn't know many female gifters in Nolan City. If it weren't for today's encounter, he wouldn't realize that he had so many acquaintances.

The two women were Miss Celtic Knight and the female hunter from the [Church of the Sun and Justice]. Jenkins had just met the former in Evergreen Forest yesterday, and the two even had a conversation; and the latter was obviously the "Miss Warfield" mentioned by Miss Cape, who was the first to enter the mirror world.

Jenkins and the female hunter traded a divine art from the righteous god [Lord of the God of War], and therefore guessed that the female hunter was a member of the [Church of War and Victory] in the Nolan Parish. After this meeting, he was more certain of his conclusion.

I just don't know why Miss Knight and the female hunter appeared here, but I think they were sucked into the mirror world by accident. It would be better to be with familiar people than to act alone. Jenkins has decided to act with them.

Of course, the focus now is still on the mirror wave behind him.

PS: Finally 30,000 collections... When can I become a big boss... When I think back to when it was put on the shelves on October 2 last year, the collection was just over 5,000. Every time I see those big bosses on the collection list who have collected 10,000 in the new book period, I feel inexplicably envious...

The bounty will be launched in two days.

Chapter 950 Chapter 933 The trouble of no clue

The four people who were chased by the mirror tide were still running wildly along the street. Because the bone whistle that summoned the skeleton horse was damaged in the skeleton sword incident, Jenkins currently had no mount that could be publicly unveiled. He could only use [Cat's Grace] to speed up his pace, and then unexpectedly found that the other three women were not slower than him.

The three ran along the street to the end of the road, and turned to the road on the left side at the five-way intersection in front of the stone brick gatepost of the 'Nexus Expert Club'; after passing Dilar Second Commercial Street, they turned into the Fifth Queen Avenue; when they were about to see Dad's Antique Shop, they finally waited for the mirror disaster to stop.

The first to discover that the mirrors had stopped spreading was Chocolate, who was holding Jenkins' collar with his claws. It squatted with its back to the direction of advance, and seemed to be very interested in being led by Jenkins.

Although the mount Jenkins was a little slow, the cat still enjoyed it. After discovering that the mirrors had stopped spreading, it immediately meowed to remind him, and Jenkins dared to look back, and saw the silver shining mirrors covering the sky and the earth in the fog.

While those mirrors reflected the scenes in the mirror world, the picture also fluctuated like rolling waves. Looking closely, there is a second layer under the rolling silver waves. The layer that is not easy to observe is dark. Just when Jenkins wanted to see what was inside, a pair of huge vertical pupils suddenly appeared on the mirror surface that spread to all the materials behind him.

The mirror surface on the material is not smooth, and all the uneven places have become concave and convex corners. And the pair of huge pupils are composed of densely packed non-parallel silver mirrors. The emotionless eyes looked at the mirror world outside the mirror, and there seemed to be a black line swimming in the pale yellow pupils in the vertical pupils. The pupils seemed to be a bottomless abyss. When he looked directly at it, the sudden fear made Jenkins' head seem to be hit by a hammer.

The woman who was stared at by the eyes and Jenkins who looked directly at the eyes fell to the street at the same time, but fortunately, as the mirroring faded, the eye also disappeared little by little.

"Meow~"

Chocolate rubbed the man's face with his tail in worry, and then saw the fog re-emerging after the mirrors disappeared.

"Meow~"

The cat cried out in worry, and then lay down beside Jenkins' head obediently.

Although Jenkins witnessed the eye directly, he was the first to wake up. After waking up, he endured the nausea and headache and moved the three women to the store next to him. After waiting for half an hour, the female hunter woke up first.

When she saw it in the black market, her ordinary and easy-to-forget face was indeed a disguise. Although the woman's real face was not beautiful, it was also very distinctive because of her high nose bridge. She should be the oldest one in the group. Judging from her appearance, she should be over 30 years old, but not more than 40.

When helping to take care of Miss Cape and Miss Knight, the two also introduced themselves. The female hunter's real name is Cecia Warfield, the contact person of the Church of War and Victory in Nolan City. She had seen Jenkins' black and white photo in the newspaper, so she knew his name when she saw his face, but like most people, she didn't know that he was a scribe of the Church of Sages.

"I think my identity as a scribe is not difficult to guess, right?"

"No, generally speaking, the gifted people under the church usually do not take the initiative to appear in public, let alone like you..."

She tried to find a suitable adjective.
