It was a stone slab, a huge round stone slab.
When Maka cast a spell to excavate the land until the stone slab buried deep in the ground was gradually exposed to his sight, his face changed slightly due to the few symbolic carvings on it that were still stained with gravel and mud.
"retreat!"
He grabbed the windbreaker wizard who was following him with his backhand, and he flew back quickly.
And it was at the moment when he made a quick judgment that the stone slab under the pit suddenly erupted with a burst of gray magic light, which rushed out of the bottom of the pit and spread outward.
Maka's speed is very fast, even so fast that even Haierbo can't react. It's a pity that no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than light.
He only had time to think of lightning and put a layer of protection around his body. In the blink of an eye, he and the windbreaker wizard were swallowed up by the rushing light.
After a while, when the gray light shrank again, the stone slab at the bottom of the pit and the two living people disappeared in the sudden incident.
"Maka? Hey!"
Seeing the burst of light from a distance flickering on and off, instantly taking away the two people inside it, Lu Ping didn't care whether it was dangerous or not, and hurriedly flew over and looked around.
Unfortunately, except for the deep pothole in the middle of this small street park, there is really nothing left.
"I never mentioned beforehand that this would happen!"
Although he didn't think that the light just now was fatal, Maka's disappearance was a fact. Lupine wanted to know now, where did he and the mysterious wizard go by that light
…
"Don't do it!"
Just when Lupine was distressed by the disappearance of the two of them, on the other side, Maka suddenly calmly stopped the windbreaker wizard who stretched out his wand.
In fact, after the gray light receded, he and the windbreaker wizard immediately discovered the first abnormality in their environment.
It can be seen that the place where the two of them are is seems to have not changed at all.
When I raised my head, I saw the sky wall, flowing clouds, sun... and various buildings near and far, including this small park, everything was still where they should be;
When he lowered his head again, the deep pit in front of him still existed, but the round stone slab at the bottom of the pit disappeared.
The only thing that is different from before is the color!
To put it bluntly, it was actually very simple. They both discovered that the whole world seemed to have been washed away, and there were no other colors except black, white and gray. It feels like being trapped in an old photo.
After thinking for a moment, Maka suddenly saw a gray shadow in the distance approaching here - it looked like a person, but the figure was twisted irregularly, like a reluctant It is a terrifying monster in human form.
As soon as he saw the figure flying quickly from the sky, the alert windbreaker wizard was about to cast a spell, but Maka reached out and pressed down the wand that had been stretched out.
And the windbreaker wizard was not too dissatisfied after being blocked by Maka. Although the eyes hidden under the brim of the hat were still staring at the monster in front of him, the wand in his hand was still lowered silently.
Maka didn't say much. He just stared at the twisted gray shadow for a while, then looked at the strange scene around him and sighed slightly.
"I didn't expect that this guy Haierbo is quite narrow-minded!" He muttered, "I only designed to trap him once, and he also used a similar method to trap me here... "
After shaking it gently, Maka said again:
"But speaking of it, this may also be one of his strengths."
"What's the meaning?"
The windbreaker wizard on the side heard this and asked in a hoarse voice while being wary of the gray shadow monster.
Maka then raised her right hand and gestured to the black and white world around her.
"Mirror World," he said, "Helbo has a lot of magic research that revolves around a mirror, so... how should I put it? This 'surprise' he left me always feels a little unexpected. .”
"Cough cough cough... what about this?"
Seeing that the other party was pointing at the gray shadow monster wandering nearby, Maka shrugged and said:
"It's Lupin."
As he spoke, he cautiously walked forward, reaching out his hand to try and pat the gray shadow on the shoulder. As expected, his hand passed through it easily.
"There is no entity, but you can still feel the fluctuations of Lupine's magic power, which means... this mirror world is on the 'spiritual' level. Therefore, if you really cast magic on it just now, Lupine is afraid that —”
Before she finished speaking, Maka seemed to have thought of something bad, and her eyebrows suddenly frowned.
"I originally thought that this was a trap deliberately set by Haierbo to lure me, but I didn't expect that I might have found the right place this time, right?"
"Ahem... Didn't you say that this is the mirror world?" The windbreaker wizard immediately asked, "Have you found the right place? Are you serious?"
Hearing the doubts in the windbreaker wizard's tone getting thicker, Maka finally couldn't help but turn around and take a good look at him.
"Are you asking me?" He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I said, do you really don't know, or are you still pretending to be confused? What on earth are you here to do..."
As she spoke, Maka finally waved her hand and said:
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask you what you just said - just do whatever you have to do!"
After that, he simply shut his mouth, turned around and walked out of the park.
The windbreaker wizard looked at him and held back his words mid-sentence, seeming to feel a little awkward. However, he stopped in place for a short while, then nodded silently, then chose another direction and left.
…
After deciding to separate from the windbreaker wizard, Maka sensed the free magic power in the surrounding space and gradually walked towards the center of London along the vague magic flow.
To be honest, he really wanted to ask the windbreaker wizard for clarification, but he also knew that it was best not to communicate with that person.
If he really goes to ask something, he will definitely gain a lot, but he is afraid that it will also cause more and worse troubles.
Of course, the matter of the windbreaker wizard will be put aside for now. What Maka is now dealing with is the problem of this so-called "mirror world".
At first, he just wanted to get out of trouble. But after realizing that this might not be a trap, I had to put aside the idea of getting out of this predicament.
In fact, when he thought that the magic cast here could also harm Lupine, a certain terrifying intention held by Haierbo instantly came to his mind.
Obviously, as long as that guy takes action in this mirror world, even if the scope is limited to this part of London, the harm it can cause will be extremely terrible!
As for why the guy hasn't taken action yet... It seems that he can only tell it himself.
After walking in this black and white city for a while, Maka gradually discovered that the flow of magic power in the air was accelerating. At this moment, Maka found that she had arrived in the city of London.
Is there anything unusual here? What causes the accelerated flow of free magic power
On the street, gray shadows come and go. From the previous example of Lu Ping, we can understand that these are the magical outlines of each person "reflected" in this mirror space.
Muggles also possess magical powers, but the magic in their bodies has not awakened like wizards.
Maka didn't stay on the street for too long. After observing the gray shadows for a while, he stepped on the magic book and flew along the street straight to the city center.
"Well?"
Not long after, probably more than ten minutes passed quietly.
Maka stands suspended above the center of London, and beneath him is Big Ben, which he has seen countless times. But even when he got here, he still didn't find anything noteworthy.
Yes, the flow of magic around here seems a little restless, but other than that everything is normal.
Of course, just this weird world of black, white and gray can no longer be called "normal".
Looking down at the crowded traffic below and the gray figures inside and outside the car, even Maka, who had always been calm, couldn't help but smack her tongue slightly.
It's like a child who has been looking for a building block toy for a long time and finally found it, but when he picked it up and took a closer look, he found that he only found an empty building block box.
This feeling of missing out by just a tiny bit and having your hopes dashed in vain is really uncomfortable!
"Is it possible that this is really just a trap set for me?"
If you just want to trap Maka and let him accidentally harm Muggles and wizards in the outside world, this is still a possibility! But what is the success rate of it...
Haierbo is not an idiot who would do such a bad thing, and Maka still believes this.
"Then let's look for it again!"
According to the clues given by the flow of magic power, if there is really a problem in this space, it is probably somewhere in the city center.
Suddenly, he controlled the magic book to let himself fall slowly, until he landed on the sidewalk on the street.
Maka didn't pay any attention to the flow of gray shadows passing through her body, turned around and walked away in one direction.
There's no point in being anxious right now. It's better to calm down and explore it carefully!
At the same time, the windbreaker wizard on the other side was actually doing something similar to Maka.
If Maka knew about it, she would probably be confused because the other party's behavior was completely different from what she imagined.
What on earth is this guy here for
