The First Mist Chapter 63: Reflection
puff!
Xu Shen walked closer, drew his sword and cut off the monster's head, putting it out of pain.
A D-level ruin with its hands and feet tied up was effortless for Xu Shen.
As the head fell on the bed and rolled to the side of the girl's pillow, although it did not touch any real objects, the girl seemed to sense something and screamed suddenly.
"dad!"
The girl sprinted out of bed, opened the door, and fled to the next room.
"Um?"
The couple in the next room were awakened and looked at their daughter who broke into the room in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"Dad, I, I feel like there's something dirty in my room."
"Feeling it again?"
"Well, when I looked in the mirror at night, I saw a figure hanging upside down in the mirror..."
The girl's face was full of fear as she recounted her experience that night. At first she thought it was an illusion, but after she went to bed, she felt cold all over and realized that there seemed to be an invisible thing in her room.
“Quite sharp.”
Xu Shen listened to the girl's story and went to a half-person-high mirror next to the room to look at himself, but didn't see anything.
He had an idea in his mind and tried to release his power.
Soon, Xu Shen was surprised to find that although he was in the world of ruins, his silhouette was vaguely reflected in the mirror.
The mirror can actually reflect things from the world of ruins!
This discovery surprised Xu Shen a little.
That’s right, the light can penetrate vaguely in the world of ruins, and the mirror is caused by reflection...Xu Shen suddenly realized.
However, the mirror can only reflect some vague outlines of the shallow world. It is said that the deeper parts cannot be reached by the light of a flashlight, and can only be reached by fire or some other ability.
Xu Shen changed his angle and looked into the mirror, and sure enough, there was only his shadow.
But when he looked in the direction of Maeve, it was empty.
If Maeve hadn't thrown that piece of black skin to him, he sometimes suspected that Maeve was an illusion he had imagined.
"Can it only reflect things in the shallow layer of the Ruins..." Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. He couldn't tell the strength of the Ruins, which had always been a troubling problem. Could it be solved by using a mirror?
Thinking of this, he felt a sense of pleasant surprise in his heart.
Although it is a bit strange for a boy to carry a mirror with him, staying alive is more important.
At this time, the couple from the next room who had been comforting their daughter walked in with their daughter. Xu Shen immediately restrained his strength, and the outline in the mirror disappeared.
The couple accompanied their daughter to check everywhere in the room, but naturally they didn't find any dirty things. The mother stayed to accompany her still panicked daughter to sleep, while the husband returned to his room.
Xu Shen didn't stay long. He turned around and walked out of the manor with Xu's head in his hand.
Outside, Big Lily was waiting at the gate of the manor. Seeing the head of Xu Shen in his hand, she smiled and said, "The consul is really fast in his work. Leave it to us now."
"Really? I want to see how you handle it." Xu Shen didn't rush to leave this time. He wanted to see how they handled it.
"That's fine." Big Lily didn't stop him. After all, it wasn't a secret.
She took the Xu head from Xu Shen's hand and waved to the side.
Immediately, two fully armed staff members came out. They looked very professional and had powerful force, but in fact they were just ordinary people.
They took the Xu head and went forward to knock on the door of the manor. Soon a housekeeper came to inquire. After learning that it was a light-chasing party, the housekeeper was a little surprised, but after hearing the master mention this, he asked the two to wait at the door and went in to inform the male owner of the house.
At the same time, Big Lily entered the manor through the ruins.
Soon, the husband, who had just woken up, came quickly accompanied by the housekeeper.
"Mr. Li, we have already solved the matter you entrusted us with yesterday." One of the staff members handed over the Xu head hidden behind his back.
The male owner and the housekeeper both screamed "Ah" in fear and took two steps back. After the death of this beast, its power gradually dissipated, and even ordinary people could see it.
"You killed someone?!"
"Of course not. Murder is against the law. We are a legitimate company. It's your daughter who said the dirty things."
One of the staff members said seriously.
"But it clearly looks like a human..."
Xu's head did look like a human, no wonder it scared the two of them.
"It's just the head that's barely maintaining its human form, but the body may not be the same. We have to go to your daughter's room to retrieve its body." One of them said seriously.
When the man heard that the body was still in his daughter's room, his face turned pale with fright and he hurriedly took the two upstairs.
Soon, they saw the shivering wife and daughter in the room. On the floor beside them was Xu's body. Standing beside the bed was a person with a smile on his face. It was Big Lily.
After some negotiations, the male host's family reluctantly accepted the fact that there were indeed dirty things in their daughter's room, and they were killed by the woman in front of them. The other party had special powers that specifically targeted these dirty things.
Xu Shen entered through the Xu Realm and watched from the side.
Big Lily went in to untie the chains of Xu and reveal it. Obviously, the chains and the black pillar would also be recovered afterwards.
Looking at the host's family thanking Big Lily with tears of gratitude, Xu Shen felt a little funny.
Soon, Xu's body was recovered by two staff members. Before leaving, the male owner asked Da Lili why such a dirty thing had come to their home.
Big Lily looked at the faint and said with a playful smile: "This dirt is formed by resentment. Maybe Boss Li's business is too good and it makes people jealous."
Resentment... The man's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of the three girls who had died from miscarriage due to him, he suddenly felt fear in his heart.
When his wife and daughter heard what Da Lili said, their faces changed, they clenched their hands nervously, and a hint of panic was revealed in their eyes...
…
…
The incident was resolved, and Da Lili accompanied Xu Shen back to the headquarters of the Light Chasing Club.
"This is the Xu that will be deployed tonight. It is a D-level Xu. It is in a relatively weak state and poses little threat."
Big Lily waved, and the staff of the club brought in a huge black box that looked like a coffin. As the wheels turned, the things inside seemed to be awakened, making dull thumping sounds.
Xu Shen frowned slightly. No wonder Maeve ran in by herself on the first day of the Light Chasing Club. She probably came in to find food.
It seems that there are still quite a few ruins in this headquarters building.
"Where is the location of the drop?"
Xu Shen asked.
"I'll take care of things." Big Lily smiled.
Afterwards, the staff installed the ruins in a large truck. Da Lili and Xu Shen sat in the same car, with Da Lili driving for Xu Shen.
"Don't you have a driver's license?"
"without."
"As a consul, you will have your own house and car in the future, so I suggest you get a driver's license." In the car, Big Lily chatted with a smile.
Xu Shen did not comment, but he was not interested in wasting time doing other things. After all, his survival was still unstable.
"After the incident just now is resolved, how much money can the association get?" Xu Shen asked.
Big Lily pursed her lips and said, "This is the finance of the club. I don't know much about it, but if I predict, it will start at at least 200,000."
"20W..." Xu Shen's expression changed slightly. This is close to the price of a house.
No wonder he gets a reward of tens of thousands for each incident. This is probably just a fraction of it.
"We are just hard-working workers. There is nothing we can do." Big Lily tried to get closer to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was silent for a moment and did not respond.
Soon, they came to a building.
Xu Shen took a look and saw that it was also a villa area. It was obvious that the people living there were either rich or noble.
"This is it." Big Lily got off the car and waited for a while, and the truck carrying the goods also followed.
The vehicle stopped, and some staff got off and began to set up ruin-breaking equipment nearby.
"This Xu is in a weak state and has no chains. We just need to drop it into the villa."
Big Lily glanced at Xu Shen and said, "You don't have to feel sorry for them. Our clients are all selected and have done things that would make you angry. After all, if they are kind people with a clear conscience, you can't find a reason to say they are tainted with dirt. It's too far-fetched to say they are resentful."
"Besides, it's unlikely that kind-hearted people have money..."
