Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 331 - 113: Alice of the Mirror World

"The Witch Association lost over six hundred people in the Southern China region back then," Hyacinth casually mentioned, "all perished at the hands of Alice from the Mirror Country, or rather, perhaps I should say they disappeared."

"However, there were actually some people who, after losing a game of rock-paper-scissors, managed to escape from the mirror, but Alice from the Mirror Country came out as well. So, in this world, there are two people who look identical, share the same life, and possess the same abilities, completely the same in every way."

As Hyacinth spoke, he glanced at Jiang Si, "I recall that there was a magical girl from Beihai who was like this, replaced entirely by Alice from the Mirror Country, losing her parents, losing her identity, forgotten by everyone, and ultimately joined the Free Magical Girl Organization."

Si Motu shook his head, "I’ve never heard of that."

Hyacinth smiled indifferently, "That’s quite normal, after all, it was a long time ago, and not many people remember it."

Seeing their tacit behavior, Xilan felt irritated immediately, "Playing tricks! Who are you trying to scare?"

Hyacinth wasn’t annoyed; he just looked at a mirror. When he turned his head, his expression had grown darker.

Xilan watched, dumbfounded.

Was the other person changing their expression instantly, or was the Hyacinth in the mirror really different...?

"I don’t need to deceive you because these are all mirrors. Try it yourself, and you’ll see."

Hyacinth stepped aside for Xilan, "Want to play rock-paper-scissors?"

Her heart leapt, and she immediately clung to Si Motu’s sleeve.

Honestly, the abundance of mirrors around already gave a mysterious oppressive feeling. There were reflections of herself everywhere, and some of them were distorted, making the space feel small and suffocating.

Now Hyacinth stood there, eerily suggesting she play rock-paper-scissors with her mirror self.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit...

Afraid.

But who was Xilan? Someone determined to change the world!

There simply shouldn’t be the word "fear" in her vocabulary!

"Who do you think you are? Just because you tell me to play, I should play? I refuse! Dare to scare us again, and I’ll beat you to death!"

She said harshly; Si Motu didn’t stop her this time, probably sharing the same thought.

"The Witch Association is the most vicious and evil terrorist organization in the world!"

Hyacinth chuckled and took out one hand from his pocket, "I didn’t mean to frighten you, just wanted to tell you, I wasn’t lying. Since you’re afraid..."

"Who’s afraid! Don’t slander me; who joins the Witch Association fearing such things!"

"In fact, it’s just that the Cyan Cloud Sect killed a few more, and most of the Witch Association members fled." Hyacinth turned his head, "It’s just for making a living, the Witch Association isn’t so great."

Xilan fell silent, glancing back at Si Motu.

As expected of Lord Si Motu, he looked like he was going to fall asleep!

Meanwhile, Hyacinth faced the mirror, "Since you’re afraid, I’ll do an experiment for you."

Then he really started to play rock-paper-scissors with the mirror!

Scissors, rock, paper.

Three rounds passed without anything unusual, but the last time, Hyacinth played rock.

Across, the mirror played paper!

Xilan was startled!

But instead of hiding, she instinctively moved forward to grab Hyacinth.

Lord Si Motu’s experiment hadn’t been done yet!

However, upon getting closer, she discovered Hyacinth’s other hand was playing paper.

A common magic trick; it seemed like he was playing rock, but in the mirror, it was the paper from his other hand...

"Just as I thought, he’s bluffing, Lord Si Motu, I’m going to beat her!"

"Haha, I just found it very interesting."

"Interesting, my foot!"

"Just your frightened expression earlier was interesting. Want to see it? I recorded it."

"Delete it, delete it!"

Jiang Si yawned, "When can the experiment start?"

Hyacinth, being tugged by Xilan, leisurely said, "The laboratory has always been available. Anytime."

"Then let’s start now."

Only then did Xilan grudgingly release her grip, letting Hyacinth lead the way.

I’ll take her out sooner or later!

They went up to a laboratory on the third floor.

The lab had three layers of large doors, all thick metal. Even Hyacinth spent quite some time opening them all.

Xilan noticed she seemed unfamiliar with the doors.

Her heart was a bit suspicious, but she knew Hyacinth hadn’t been at the Witch Association’s laboratory long.

Not too suspicious after all.

When the lab doors finally opened, the three entered to see all kinds of equipment inside.

Ignoring the standard microscopes or tools like tweezers for now, there were also some Seeds of Sorrow and Eggs of Calamity, and even dried Disaster Beast specimens.

Of course, most importantly, there was a girl chained up in the corner of the lab.

She wore very simple white clothes, tattered like prison garb, barefoot, with her toes curled and trembling, seemingly from cold or pain.

Currently asleep against the wall, with pinpricks visible on her neck, arms, and feet.

She appeared to have undergone many experiments.

"That’s the professor’s experimental subject," Hyacinth said indifferently. "She was captured half a year ago, and the professor treasures this subject a lot. After all, magical girls are hard to capture; free magical girls are even harder. Capture one from the Cyan Cloud Sect or Disaster Strategy Bureau, and you’ll face a massive investigation. But a free magical girl unaffiliated with any organization, with no one to rescue her, is really rare."
