Soon, Alucard, dressed in an elegant suit, gracefully approached Elena. However, in his hand, he held a blank name tag with no writing on it. "Everything as you expected, my sister. The name tag for the seventh seat at the seventh table just showed the words 'Special Invited Guest of *****'. Before you called me over, the words on this name tag had always been there."
"Thank you, Alucard. You've done well," Elena sighed in relief. "It's my pleasure to serve you, my sister." "Good boy."
Elena took the blank name tag and held it up in front of the mirror. Then she turned her gaze back to the illusory mirror and asked, "So, now I'll ask you again, my guest, is there one missing?"
The illusory mirror's row of terrifying eyes began to spin chaotically, appearing extremely confused. If it answered "Yes" to the established truth, then the mirror, which always lies, would have to make the name tag show a name to change the truth into a lie. If it answered "No", that would clearly be a lie contrary to reality, directly confirming its illusory words.
Finally, the mirror's eyes stopped spinning and all stared at Elena, each filled with confusion. "I want to know, how did you see through all this, Your Highness? We've only met once, and I was just trying to give you a heads up, but you seemed to already know everything and directly exposed my true identity with just three questions." All the eyes of the mirror were filled with disbelief: "I really can't believe that a normal human could do this."
Elena's blood-red eyes looked down on it: "You were just trying to give me a heads up? In my opinion, you deliberately appeared to use the Bloody King to scare me, right?" The illusory mirror couldn't help but open its sharp mouth wide: "You... could you already be a *****? No, you couldn't have become a ***** before He found you! But... why do you know everything, Your Highness?"
Yes, the mirror had always wanted to scare her! Ever since the first time she talked to the mirror and every answer it gave would lead her to despair, she should have realized it! Because only when she was in fear, panic, and tension would she become abnormal! In this way, the power could appear before her smoothly when she was in an abnormal state, control her! Manipulate her! So that she would eventually make the wrong choice! And He would then completely transform into the "Unspeakable"!
The mirror had never truly wanted to help her. Instead, it inherited the will of the Unspeakable and used those seemingly true but actually mixed with illusion words to try to drag her into the abyss of despair! And now that she had successfully escaped the witchcraft and fear, and was difficult to become "abnormal", she was the flag that triggered the mirror to appear and talk to her!
"You ask how I knew? You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Elena said with a fierce gaze. "When I successfully invited the Blood Disaster Flower and made it my hundredth substitute guest, my guest count immediately became one hundred and one."
"And when I ended the invitation to the Blood Disaster Flower at a great cost and immediately started the ceremony, my guest was once again missing!"
"The 'Special Invited Guest of the Unspeakable' could have such a fast reaction speed, which means it must be in the castle and very close to where I made the invitation to the Blood Disaster Flower."
"But at that time, there was no one outside the corridor window. Besides you in the corridor, no one else could have heard the contract between me and the Blood Disaster Flower so clearly." Elena said, a sickly smile curling at the corner of her mouth, looking both angry and happy, and a little crazy.
"False mirror, actually I wasn't looking for Nini from the very beginning. I was looking for you. Now, do you want to crack yourself or shall I do it for you?"
[False mirror sanity value -10] [False mirror sanity value -10] ...
"No! No! You actually saw through all my delusions!! But the things you said, I have no idea about at all! So terrifying! So terrifying! So terrifying --"
[Sanity of the Delusional Mirror -10] [Sanity of the Delusional Mirror -10] ...
The mirror's wide-open mouth could easily accommodate a head; all the eyes were bulging and spinning wildly, and all were filled with terrifying red blood vessels.
[The Sanity of the Illusory Mirror is plummeting rapidly!] [The Sanity of the Illusory Mirror has dropped to zero!]
"Chirp-chirp!!" The mirror suddenly let out a terrifying and distorted cry, as if it had torn its throat.
[Congratulations, Host! You have achieved: Illusion Terminator!] [You have seen through the illusion of the illusory and ended it! You have taken a glorious, tearing step towards the path of the wise queen! Achievement rewards: Coolness +2, Intimidation +2, Voice Seductiveness +2!]
Great! As expected, when a girl gains confidence, her luck will also improve. I've gotten so many rewards for free... Eh? It seems like it's all useless again... "I know! I know! I know! We're not meeting for the first time!!" The mirror roared wildly, and all the gazes seemed ready to devour someone. "Apart from me, ***** has also bestowed blessings upon other guests! It's the power of that guest's blessing that has made you aware of all this!!"
"Blessing..." Elena muttered to herself. Could it be that the three times of "future visibility" were also the power of the unspeakable words bestowed upon Aunt Mary? Wait a minute! Why is it that even though Mirror-san's value has been reset to zero, it's still acting so normally? !
Your astonished expression is truly charming, Your Highness! Have I finally managed to stir your heart?
The numerous eyes of the mirror all turned blood red, with uneven blood vessels protruding menacingly from the eyeballs.
Because I am a devoted follower of *****! The gospel bestowed upon me by ***** makes me invincible, both physically and mentally!
The false mirror's teeth ground together with a loud "clack", as if they were about to break!
It was you who drove me to the brink of collapse, it was you who fully activated the power of the gospel! Now, I will use the mighty power granted to me by ***** to tear you apart, shatter you, and destroy you!
As the mirror spoke, numerous twisted and slimy small tentacles gradually emerged from around the frame, like many venomous snakes breaking out of their eggs, constantly writhing and struggling to break free.
This is all your own choice, Your Highness! I promised ***** that I would respect every choice you make! So now, I sentence your body and soul to an end - in the name of your one hundredth guest!
At this moment, countless snake-like tentacles rapidly swarmed towards Elena's face, entangling her. Elena's bloodshot eyes widened in terror, but she was unable to dodge in time.
Alucard was shocked beside her, his muscles suddenly tensing as he leaped forward, extending his sharp claws towards the false mirror at full speed!
However, the speed of the mirror's countless terrifying tentacles was even faster, already wrapping around Elena's face...
Alucard was unable to reach her in time and could only shout anxiously as he flew through the air: "Sister!!"
