The two companions are attacked one after another, but Jenkins has no time to rescue them. Subconsciously, he raised his hand to catch the knife flying in the fog, raised his right leg and kicked the clown's powerful whip. The rope, like a living snake, climbed from the ground up Jenkins' leg, only to be consumed by his flames in an instant.
The spell was thrown into the fog by Jenkins, but it had no effect, and the back of the head was hit hard by a heavy object.
When I turned my head, there was still nothing, but I felt someone put on my shoulder again.
Roar~
It wasn't Jenkins' voice or the Joker's voice, it was Miss Knight's voice who stood up suddenly.
Because of the position, the sound appeared directly next to Jenkins' ears, and the next second he felt dizzy, and even had a buzzing auditory hallucination in his ears.
It was the roar of a dragon. Although Jenkins had only heard it once before, he could never be wrong. Behind Miss Knight who stood up, the phantom of the dragon appeared and disappeared in the fog. The sonic impact dispersed the fog in half the street, and also shocked the red-haired clown who wanted to attack again.
But he just froze in place for a while and then disappeared again. Jenkins, who hadn't reacted yet, only felt an uncontrollable force coming from the left side, and then his whole body flew out like a cannonball.
pong~
He slammed into the light pole again, and at the same time heard Miss Knight's pain in the distance. In this impact, the back of the head hit the lamppost first, and when trying to get up, he staggered and almost fell.
He stood up straight and opened his arms to embrace Miss Knight who was flying over. After throwing the woman to the side of the road, he saw the red-haired clown rushing towards him with a strange smile and holding a dagger.
After turning his head to confirm that Miss Knight had fainted again, Jenkins' face suddenly darkened, and now all his companions could not notice him. The evening wind blew his clothes, and because of the roar of the dragon, the mist was briefly blown away, allowing the twin moons of the mirror world to shine on him.
A man/person/stands in the middle of a dark stone-brick street, the houses on both sides are shrouded in shadows. The clown grinned and rushed towards him holding a dagger, but in the next second he saw a white sword appearing in the man's hand.
It was a sword that could emit shimmering light in the dark. The whole body of the sword was white, with the same color as white bones. The curved arc of the hilt can barely see the vague shape of a skull, but if you look closely, it looks like a vine twisted into the shape of a tree root.
The red-haired clown subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so he stopped his forward posture and turned around to avoid it. But seeing Jenkins holding the sword and slashing into the air ahead, as the spirit and the sword resonated, the bright white brilliance instantly flooded the entire street.
After the light faded away, a straight cut was left on the central axis of the street, and the clown standing on the central axis was split in half.
The broken body did not bleed, but the lenses scattered all over the ground. The green vines fell from the sky and smashed the mirror slag that hadn't landed, and got into the clown's temple before he could escape again after mirroring.
Then there was a disgusting snort and a faint scream, and when the mist filled the street again, the little green coin that rolled and rolled stopped next to Jenkins' boots.
With one hand, he picked up the chocolate that was rushing, and with the other, he picked up the coin and put it in his pocket. His ears moved, listening carefully to the last words of the red-haired clown in the mirror.
The whispering lasted for five minutes before it stopped. During this period, Jenkins gathered the comatose companions together to treat them one by one. Both Miss Knight and the Huntress were traumatized, only Miss Capet seemed to be mentally injured.
But fortunately, there was a potion in her pocket. Jenkins identified it for a while, unplugged the blue potion, sniffed it, and asked the huntress to feed Miss Capet.
The second half of the red-haired clown's final confession was heard by everyone, but the full content was only heard by Jenkins and Chocolate. In fact, it's all irrelevant content, and it basically means complaining about a miserable childhood, an alcoholic father, a sexual mother, and a friend with an abnormal orientation.
These distorted memories become the deepest dark side of the red-haired clown, making his reflection so powerful. And at the end of the whisper, the voice finally mentioned the so-called numbered mirror. The clown seemed to think that he died unjustly, and he was depressed before dying, and inadvertently added strength to his reflection.
"So the mirror world is a superimposed world. The circus has explored 35 mirrors so far. The way to move between different mirrors is to actively break the mirrors. The mirrors will form a channel to connect two different mirrors, but in the shuttle In the process of mirroring, everyone's soul will resonate in the mirror world, so that the reflection of the acquaintance appears as the enemy."
When Jenkins told his companions what he heard, the group temporarily moved to a cafe on the street to rest. Although time exists in the mirror world, time does not seem to affect matter, so they can find a lot of food here.
Miss Knight was surprisingly good at making coffee. She prepared refreshments for everyone, but no chocolates, because ordinary cats can't drink coffee.
Chocolate is not displeased with this, it does not like that very bitter drink.
"But we don't have enough information. The circus obviously has a way to travel through the selected numbered mirrors, and this is not mentioned in the clown's last words. If we try rashly, we may get lost in another mirror..."
Jenkins discovered that the gas pipes were actually working, they just hadn't been turned on. So after entering the cafe, he turned on the gas lamp in the building. The warm yellow light dispelled the darkness and brought warmth and peace of mind to everyone.
Four people sat in the same booth, and the table was full of food and drinks. Jenkins turned to look at the street outside the café, still dark and foggy.
In the depths of the mist is a dead city, which can feel lifeless. Although Jenkins likes peaceful cities, he doesn't like such lifeless cities.
He reached out to touch his cat, and the cat meowed softly and narrowed its eyes. In the lonely city, only the cat can bring Jenkins some comfort, although it is really disobedient sometimes.
"But now we have no other way. Knowing that there is no exit in this mirror world, we can only find the mirror number 14 where the church is located through shuttle again and again."
Miss Capet said that her face was a little ugly, and she still looked weak even after taking the medicine.
In the battle just now, the clown used an illusion spell on her that directly attacked the soul. Although the attack didn't fully work, it still hurt the woman a lot. She hasn't completely lost her fighting power now, but she may need to rest for a month if she wants to recover.
PS: The sword and staff will become Jenkins' main weapons in the future. In fact, the intermission can be regarded as providing a safe place for weapon testing.
