Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1198 - Chapter 1198 Chapter 368 Witch Lanlingster_3

Chapter 1198: Chapter 368 Witch Lanlingster_3 Chapter 1198: Chapter 368 Witch Lanlingster_3 At this realization, there seemed to be room for the situation to take a turn.

Leonard Churchill thought that if the Mirror Spirit’s spirituality wasn’t high, then the attack might not be a decision made by its own volition.

Instead, it could be a pre-set conditioned reflex.

Therefore, what was important now was to discover the “conditions” that triggered the attack.

Leonard Churchill didn’t even give the entity inside the mirror time to react, his calm tone suddenly changed, and with a voice like an adult threatening a child, he demanded, “I have the God-stealing Ring representing the Family Head’s succession, and my companion is a White Family Successor who has merged with the Epic Source Card, and we also have tickets. Why did you attack us?”

First, to scare it.

If it didn’t fall for that, they were going to have to fight anyway, so there was no difference.

However, the effect was surprisingly good.

Upon hearing this, the “Leonard Churchill” in the mirror became flustered and stammered, “You didn’t say the spell…”

Only then did it dawn on Leonard Churchill that this was what they were missing.

But the spell was definitely a secret passed down in the White Family, something outsiders couldn’t possibly know.

Taking advantage of the Mirror Spirit’s delayed reaction, he continued with his ruse, putting on an exaggerated yet effective performance: “Oh, damn, how could I have forgotten that part? The spell is… what was it… sesame… uh…”

The Mirror Spirit indeed fell for it and eagerly replied in a childlike voice, “You should ask ‘Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the fairest of them all?…'”

Leonard Churchill, pretending to have just remembered and now reciting it, asked directly, “Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the fairest of them all?”

The Mirror Spirit, reactionary as a reflex, cheerfully answered, “Of course, it’s ‘Emperor Lanlingster transformed into a witch’!”

With these words, the unsettling sense of crisis in the room dissipated into nothingness.

“…”

Leonard Churchill felt a surge of happiness upon hearing the answer.

He had guessed it right!

But immediately after, his expression became puzzled: “???”

He felt as though he had stumbled upon some blind spot hidden in history.

The White Family was one of the few powerful families at the pinnacle of the Taren Empire’s social structure, privy to many royal secrets unknown to outsiders.

So, Emperor Lanlingster had transformed into a witch?

Hiss…

The amount of information seemed overwhelming.

…

Up to this point, using his deductions and performance, Leonard Churchill had finally figured out the rules of the special tier-002 compartment.

It looked easy.

But the hardest part was to enter the room and be exempt from the spell of such a high quality tier.

Otherwise, all was in vain.

Yet, Leonard Churchill completely failed to notice that Sophia Jones, who was still dancing closely with him, couldn’t help showing a trace of a smile at the corner of her mouth upon hearing this.

Having listened to the whole process of Leonard Churchill fooling the childlike spirit, and hearing this absurd “spell”…

She couldn’t help herself and snorted with laughter.

Now it was Leonard Churchill’s turn to be surprised and thought, “What’s going on???”

Initially, he had wanted to draw out the rule behind the mirror’s attacks and then figure out how to rescue Sophia Jones if she was affected.

But looking at her now, it seemed that Sophia Jones had come to her senses on her own?

Sophia Jones didn’t continue to pretend and stopped dancing.

Leonard Churchill asked in puzzlement, “Aunt Jones, you weren’t affected?”

“No.”

Sophia Jones responded very succinctly.

Looking at Leonard Churchill’s embarrassed expression, she explained further, “In the relics on the Old Continent, I’ve seen records related to this magic mirror. This was once a very famous artifact of the Taren Dynasty–the Mirror of the Prophet. Because the White Family recorded some methods of use during that excavation, I remembered it. So, when I entered the room earlier, I realized something was wrong. However, I didn’t know how to gain ‘spell’ access, so I’ve been observing…”

Listening to this, Leonard Churchill’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily, “Then you?”

Sophia Jones gave him a look and said indifferently, “I thought you were affected…”

The implication was she had gone along with the dance because she thought he was under the influence.

“…”

Leonard Churchill felt unusually embarrassed as he listened.

He had been so focused on deducing and observing the room’s dangers that he hadn’t considered Sophia Jones might not be affected.

The embarrassment stemmed from the fact that the scenario required closeness, and indeed, they had been quite intimate.

He had truly felt her touch.

Intentional or unintentional,

it seemed to be both.

If Sophia Jones had been affected, perhaps there would be no need for an explanation.

But now that both knew they weren’t affected, everything that happened before was clear.

It was the first time Sophia Jones saw Leonard Churchill with such an expression, and she found it interesting, laughing softly.

This soft laughter immediately eased the slightly awkward atmosphere in the carriage.

Leonard Churchill didn’t detect any intention from Sophia Jones to dwell on the matter and simply shrugged his shoulders, no longer speaking.

Simultaneously, both their gazes turned to the gray, fuzzy human face that appeared in the mirror.

The eyes were hollow and quite terrifying.

This was the Artifact Spirit of the Mirror of the Prophet.

Typically, an Artifact Spirit would take on the most frequent form it sees, such as a human.

However, the figure in the mirror wasn’t human but a ghostly specter.

Leonard Churchill automatically deduced the reason in his mind: does the mirror often see ghosts?

So, is the passenger in the neighboring compartment a ghost?

Or does this “Neon” train travel to some place where it commonly encounters ghosts?
