Jobtran had never actually seen the Mirror Ghost haunting people, but Merlin, who had lived for thousands of years, had seen it.
The strange life form of mirror ghost actually appeared earlier than the carbon-based intelligent life form of human beings.
An ignorant person might say,
"Before humans invented mirrors, wouldn't these so-called mirror ghosts have no place to live?"
This is not the case. Mirror ghosts can survive anywhere there is light reflection, such as the surface of a lake, frozen ice, smooth pebbles, etc.
Ancient spiritual creatures like mirror ghosts can even sense changes in the environment and thus shift their living environment.
This ancient creature does not need to eat, hunt, or even reproduce. These basic biological needs have no meaning to them.
Because the birth of mirror ghosts is absurd in itself, they are theoretically a kind of pure negative energy, and only possess a certain level of IQ equivalent to the basic cognitive intelligence of young humans.
Most creatures feed on physical food, which results in the fact that mirror ghosts, a life form of pure negative energy, have no natural enemies, but their natural enemies are themselves.
The reason why Merlin said before that creatures like Mirror Ghosts had long been extinct was because Mirror Ghosts would attach themselves to life forms that invaded their territory, thereby invading themselves into that creature.
As energy life transforms into physical life, basically all mirror ghosts die along with their hosts after completing the so-called possession.
The cases mentioned previously, such as the victim who tore his own jaw, were acts of self-mutilation that were only completed after the Mirror Ghost had completely taken over his body.
That is to say, most mirror ghosts will die along with the invaded living beings after completing their invasion of living beings.
Mirror ghosts that do not have the ability to reproduce actively are all born by chance, but the mirror ghosts that appeared in Joet Brown and Columbia's dormitories at this time were not the product of natural birth.
Merlin saw through this when he called out "bastard".
The mirror ghost in front of him was not the mirror ghost recorded in the past, but a mirror ghost that was artificially created and was full of traces of so-called black magic.
Different from the negative energy of the legendary mirror ghost, the negative energy of the mirror ghost that had become extinct naturally in the past was pure, but the negative energy of the mirror ghost in front of him was filled with all kinds of ugly emotions: hatred, resentment, anger, sadness, etc.
The mirror ghost's body became mottled because of these mixed emotions.
Jobtran had sensed something was wrong from Merlin's word "bastard", and it was obvious that Merlin was a little overwhelmed by the situation.
"What should we do now?"
Jobtron frowned and asked Merlin, who also looked unhappy.
"Get Columbia here first."
After Merlin said this, he immediately activated the space spell and took Joet Brown away from here.
——
The archaeology class is coming to an end.
As the bell rang to signal the end of the class, the students stood up one after another and bowed to Professor Bolt on the stage to say goodbye.
Professor Bolt waved his hand to everyone and called out to Columbia, who was sorting out the notes and stationery spread out on the table.
"Colombia, wait a minute."
Columbia, who was pretending to be a good student, raised his eyebrows when he heard that, but he still obediently put away his schoolbag and sat in his seat waiting for everyone to leave.
A dazzling light suddenly lit up in the classroom without warning, and when the light faded, the figures of Merlin and Jobtran were revealed.
When Professor Bolt saw the two men coming at him aggressively, he realized how serious the situation was.
He immediately pressed the button on the podium beside him. The button was connected to the door of the classroom, and the door of the classroom was immediately closed.
Columbia, who was sitting in his seat, did not move at all, only had a faint smile on his face.
Wearing a headscarf that read "Lady Selina is the most beautiful", the smile on his face looked like a ghost.
Columbia saw the identity of the person coming and raised his voice,
"I thought you wouldn't notice."
Merlin frowned when he heard this, but said nothing and cast a look at Jobtran beside him.
Jobtran understood and immediately replied,
"I overlooked it, but you can still be saved now."
Before he finished his words, a circle of silver-white chains appeared out of thin air and tightly wrapped Columbia.
These chains were obviously summoned by Merlin silently through magic.
The energy used to construct the chains had some characteristics of holy light. While binding Columbia, scars like burns by fire appeared on Columbia's body, and there was also a sizzling sound of burning.
If there was no smell of meat, others might have mistaken it for a barbecue.
Columbia, who was tied up by chains, did not struggle, and his expression did not change at all, as if the physical pain did not exist at all.
"If you want to do it, hurry up. I...can't bear it any longer."
When Columbia said this, there was a hint of struggle in his expression. Joet Brown understood that this was what Columbia meant.
"What should I do?"
Jobtron asked Merlin anxiously.
"There is only one way. You must assimilate the Mirror Ghost to stop it from corrupting Columbia."
Merlin thought about it for a moment and then came up with this most feasible solution at the moment.
It’s not that other methods don’t exist, but the materials and rituals they require are too complicated.
Only a person like Jobtran, whose body is already a hodgepodge of negative energy, could assimilate the mirror ghost, which has similar energy to that in Jobtran's body, at this moment.
This method is very risky, but having come to this point, Merlin is not completely sure about using other methods.
Merlin had personally witnessed the appearance of Columbia trapped in the poster, and he knew very well that time was running out.
At this point, he can only take a gamble, and whether he is willing to take the gamble depends on Jobtran's own personal wishes.
Upon hearing this, Jobtran immediately nodded towards Merlin.
Merlin turned to Professor Bolt and said,
"Professor Bolt, you did a great job, but please notify the health department now. We may need emergency treatment soon.
Have Jack prepare a bed, no, two."
After giving the instructions hastily, Merlin grabbed Columbia with his right hand and brought him in front of him. At the same time, he waved his staff and brought Joet Brown and Columbia back to their dormitory again.
——
Sitting in his comfortable president's office chair, Arthur looked out the window with a faint smile on his face.
He held in his arms the girl who had confessed her love to him earlier. The girl was naked and her face was slightly flushed.
If others saw it, they would understand what happened in this room.
Arthur's big hands stroked the girl's fair skin back and forth, as if he was playing with a fine work of art.
"Bang it up."
Someone knocked on his door, and then the voice of Vice President Hull came.
"President, the principal has intervened."
Arthur patted the girl's hips and kissed her on the lips.
"Be good, put on your clothes first, and then go back to the dormitory by yourself.
I have things to do.”
The girl whimpered, then bent down, picked up the clothes on the ground that were about to be torn, put them on hastily, and walked out.
Although she only found one shoe and it was extremely inconvenient for her to walk, she was extremely happy.
After the girl walked out of the room, Hull entered from behind the door.
Arthur was seen with his upper body naked, revealing his muscular body and almost perfect body lines, leaning lazily on the chair.
"President, would you like me to make you a cup of tea?"
Hull had seen this kind of scene many times and was completely used to it.
"It's okay, I'm not thirsty.
Hale, do you think the old man will be angry
Arthur smiled playfully and put one hand under his nose, smelling the lingering scent on the girl.
"No matter how angry Principal Merlin is, he cannot do anything to you."
Hull told the truth.
Hull and Fock, who also came from noble families, pledged allegiance to Arthur before, on the one hand because of the family's wishes, and on the other hand because they understood that Arthur would be king in the future.
There is obviously no harm in trying to please the king's successor now.
Arthur looked up at Hull and said something for no reason.
"Heer, you've been with me for two years."
Hull bowed respectfully and adjusted his glasses.
"Two years, three months and eighteen days to be exact."
Arthur smiled when he heard this, sat up from his chair, and put his hands on the table.
"What are you willing to give for me?"
Hull was shocked.
Since following Arthur, Arthur has never asked himself questions like this about his loyalty.
"Could it be that I did something wrong?"
Such a question came to Hull's mind. Without thinking, he immediately knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his proud head, and said respectfully,
"As a minister, I will do my best to serve the future king."
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you this time."
Arthur said, narrowing his eyes.
Hearing this, Hull felt even more confused.
He looked up, only to see the world spinning.
"I was knocked unconscious?"
This was his last thought until he saw a headless body kneeling on one knee on the ground.
Only then did he realize that the torso was actually his own body.
Arthur grabbed Hull's head with disgust, opened a mahogany box that had been prepared for Hull on the table, and put Hull's head in it.
As he closed the box, Arthur murmured,
“The black tea you brewed is indeed delicious, but it’s too bitter.
I prefer sweet drinks.”
With a click, Hull's vision was filled with darkness.
Arthur ignored the blood flowing on the ground, nor did he care about Hull's remains.
He bent down, pulled out the sword that Hull had always hung on his waist, and slashed himself with it, leaving a deep bloody mark.
But one bloody mark was not enough, so he gritted his teeth and made two, then three.
He didn't stop his self-harm until his naked upper body was covered in his own blood.
Arthur put Hull's sword in his hand into Hull's torso, and then gave him a gentle push, knocking him to the ground.
Then Arthur shouted,
"Ahhhh!!! Hel!!!!! You actually!!!!!!"
After saying this, Arthur lay on the ground. Judging from the pool of blood flowing from Hull's neck, the scene looked extremely tragic.
The student union members who rushed in upon hearing the noise saw the tragic scene. They abandoned Hull, who was clearly beyond help, and immediately picked up Arthur, who was lying in a pool of blood, and shouted,
"President! President!"
Arthur pretended to open his eyes with difficulty.
"Ahem, help me."
Then he closed his eyes.
The people in the student union were immediately in chaos, but they immediately sent Arthur to the health room for treatment.
——
Merlin returned to their bedroom and laid Columbia's body flat on his bed. Then he pointed to Joet Brown's bed.
"Go sit on the edge of the bed."
As soon as Jobtran sat down, he saw Merlin use great force to pull the entire mirror out of the bathroom wall.
"Float!"
Merlin waved his staff, and the entire mirror floated in the air above the dormitory, with the two people's beds just reflected in the mirror's reflective surface.
Next, Merlin walked behind Job Tran and said softly,
"From now on, it's up to you."
He pressed the tip of his staff against Jobtran's back and shouted softly,
"Pull away!"
Next, Merlin laid Jobtran's unconscious body flat on the bed.
Jobtran's soul was pulled out of his body, and when he came to his senses, he had already been thrown into the mirror world by Merlin.
Everything in the world that Joet Brown saw was upside down, left and right were flipped, including his own actions.
When I wanted to lift my right foot, I lifted my left foot instead.
Such a contrast made him feel uncomfortable for a while, but what made Joet Brown most at a loss was that Merlin had not yet told him how to assimilate the mirror ghost.
He looked outside the world and only saw Merlin's mouth moving, but no sound reached this side of the world.
Jobtran waved anxiously at Merlin outside the mirror, but Merlin shook his head.
There was a glow coming from Merlin's staff, and it was obvious that the spell had to be maintained outside the mirror to ensure that Joet Brown and Columbia could find their way home.
Merlin pointed in a direction that Joet Brown found puzzling. It was a wall covered with Columbia's sexy posters of Selena.
Joet Brown followed Merlin's instructions and finally understood what Merlin meant.
Previously, when I was abroad, I could see Colombia struggling in the poster, but now in the mirror, there was nothing unusual about that poster.
The only way to solve the current dilemma is to find where the trapped Colombia is.
Joe Butron first reached out to Columbia on the bed, but he couldn't touch Columbia on the bed.
His hand passed directly through Columbia's body as if it didn't exist.
Columbia, who was lying on the bed, laughed sarcastically, and the sound of this laughter was pleasant to the ears.
