Chapter 121: Chapter 102: Mirror World, Double Auction (please vote for monthly ticket)

July 17th, Tokyo, Japan, 5 AM local time, on an empty coastal highway.

Black Cocoon sat on a public bench, arms resting on the back, head drooping. The snoring that occasionally escaped was muffled by the restraint belt wrapped around his cheeks.

Early in the morning today, he was here staking out again.

The desolate sea breeze blew, making the restraint belt on his body flutter open like scales.

After sleeping for a while, he shook his head, got up from the public bench with his shoulders hugged, like a homeless person sleeping on the street.

"Might as well be dead..."

He muttered the first auspicious phrase of the morning, yawned, and taking advantage of the core bodyguard team not having arrived yet, pulled himself up with the restraint belt and sneaked inside the villa.

As always, Black Cocoon leaned on the second-floor railing, maintaining the restraint belt color change form, and fell deeply asleep.

It wasn’t long before Blue Arc arrived as expected with his earth-shaking roar.

It seemed as if to refute Ke Qirui’s repeated teasing yesterday of "the fastest speed, yet the slowest to arrive," he deliberately arrived the fastest today.

Black Cocoon’s head, resting on the railing, shook slightly, bumping against the gap between the rails.

"Damn it, brother, can’t I get a good sleep? It’s a good thing the people of China haven’t complained about your noise disturbance..."

He awoke, grumbling while he fumbled out his phone, wrapped it with the restraint belt, and then using the restraint sensing, he read the screen content, typing and sending messages with the belt.

[Black Cocoon: Good morning, Mr. Blue Arc.]

[Blue Arc: Just how twisted are you, enjoying peeping at others so much?]

[Black Cocoon: After all, I have to ensure your safety. The safety of my collaborators is always my top priority.]

[Blue Arc: Don’t get caught. This isn’t my territory, I can’t save you here.]

[Black Cocoon: Mr. Blue Arc, you are so humorous, speaking as if you would save me if it were in China.]

[Blue Arc: What’s your relationship with Ke Zinan and Ke Qirui?]

[Black Cocoon: Partnership. I’ll ensure their survival in this auction just like you; but don’t be jealous, my collaboration with you is prioritized.]

He thought to himself: "Without you, how am I supposed to trigger the main storyline related to ’Rainbow Wings’? Rely solely on father?"

[Blue Arc: Let me ask you something, what’s up with that girl named Ke Zinan, she seems weird to me.]

[Black Cocoon: Inquiring into a woman’s privacy isn’t something a hero should do, you’ll find out sooner or later.]

The text conversation between the two ended there, and one by one, figures began to enter from outside the villa, gathering in the opulent first-floor hall.

Looking down from the second floor, the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling divided the nine figures into two groups:

Blue Arc stood in the middle, with the Japanese guard team and the Ghost Train Corps on the left and right, respectively.

"Today let’s discuss the specific layout plans for the auction," Sakurabu said. "First, I must mention our ’Mirror Guardian’s’ ability. As you’ve seen, he is an Exorcist, and yesterday it was introduced that his Celestial Driver is a mirror."

She paused: "And this mirror can replicate any place he has seen."

"Replicate a place?" Blue Arc raised an eyebrow, "How exactly does that work?"

Ke Qirui crossed her arms and suggested, "Miss Sakurabu, instead of a verbal introduction, why not let us witness his ability firsthand? It would be more efficient."

"Of course, that’s precisely our intention."

Saying this, Sakurabu glanced at the Mirror Guardian while holding the knife hilt.

The Mirror Guardian, dressed in Yin-Yang Master attire, summoned the Celestial Driver, and a palm-sized dressing mirror appeared in his right hand.

He opened his folding fan, walked towards the villa wall with the mirror in hand, and gently placed it on the wall. The mirror stuck to the wall as if adhered by strong glue, motionless.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, the mirror began to expand continuously. Two or three seconds later, the expansion stopped, and it was now the size of a mirror twice the height of a person. From afar, it looked like a door large enough to allow any human to enter.

"Come in... everyone," said the Mirror Guardian, hiding the lower half of his face behind the fan, glancing sideways at the others.

He then stepped into the mirror. It was as if there was a swamp inside, and his figure was absorbed into it, leaving only a ripple of light shimmering.

"Captain, do we really have to go into that mirror?" Su Zimai whispered suspiciously to Ke Qirui, getting closer.

Ke Qirui didn’t respond, instead turning her head to look at the three from the Japanese side.

Sakurabu, Fuyuyama Nobunaga, and Haibara Ritsu all entered successively, as if to dispel any doubts these Chinese allies might have.

Seeing this, Ke Qirui and Blue Arc entered the mirror one after the other; the members of the Ghost Train Corps followed closely.

Black Cocoon watched the scene, squinting slightly: "What’s the situation, there’s no way I’m going into the mirror with them. These Japanese can’t be fishing, trying to catch me. Don’t fall for it, hold your ground."

Thus, he exerted the steadiness of a meditating monk, lying on the floor and untroubled by worldly affairs, playing Minesweeper.

.....

.....

At this moment, in the Mirror World.

Ke Qirui slightly paused, then raised her eyes from under the brim of her hat, scanning the world inside the mirror.

This space was completely identical to the villa earlier; the difference was that when looking out the window, there was no sight of the coastal road or the vast sea, only nothingness and desolation, as if at the world’s end.

After pondering for a while, Ke Qirui looked up at the Mirror Guardian and slowly began to speak:

"I see, you’re planning to use the ’Mirror Guardian’s’ ability to replicate the auction site. This way, it’s equivalent to creating two auction sites, effectively confusing the White Crow Brigade’s focus."

Sakurabu nodded: "That’s right, in a few days, we plan to have the Mirror Guardian replicate the auction site, and then hold a real auction with the gangster family’s guests in the Mirror World." Sakurabu paused, "While the auction in the Real World will be a decoy... a lure for the White Crow Brigade."

Ke Qirui thought for a moment: "You’re planning to have the gangster family bodyguards disguised as guests at the auction site in the real world, waiting for the White Crow Brigade to arrive; while the true guests are hidden inside the Mirror World. This way, you can safely conduct the auction with no risk."

Sakurabu nodded again.

"Miss Ke is indeed smart," Haibara Ritsu adjusted the round-framed glasses on his face, smiling with his hands behind his back.

Blue Arc was silent for a moment: "Uh... I agree with your idea, but the problem is that the auction site and this villa are not the same scale of buildings."

He paused, looking at the Mirror Guardian: "Comrade, are you sure you can perfectly replicate an auction site and accommodate all the guests?"

The Mirror Guardian nodded, raising eyes from the folding fan, emitting a hiss-like soft voice:

"There’s no need for you to worry about that. I personally experimented last night. If you don’t believe me, we can go to the auction site and try, but that might alert them. I went last night when the streets were empty."

"I trust your abilities, it’s a good proposal, very imaginative." Blue Arc looked at the Mirror Guardian, then turned to the few from the Ghost Train Corps, "And what do you think?"

"The Japanese are somewhat useful," Xu Sanyan said coldly.

Lin Zhengquan nodded: "Indeed, it’s a very good plan, able to guarantee the guests’ safety, while allowing us to fully meet the enemy at the auction site in the Real World."

Sakurabu crossed her arms, her gaze sweeping over everyone: "So then, we’ll wait for the White Crow Brigade in the Real World, and the guests will safely bid for items in the replicated Mirror Auction. Have you all reached a consensus?"

Ke Qirui shook her head: "No, Miss Sakurabu, as a precaution, we also need to arrange bodyguards inside the Mirror World. Otherwise, if the White Crow Brigade finds the channel to the Mirror World, wouldn’t it be like a no man’s land for them?"

She said this while taking out a pipe from her pocket, jesting: "There’s nothing surprising if there are power users within the White Crow Brigade, we must remain cautious for the clients’ safety. Those gangster brutes might not last half a second in the White Crow Brigade’s hands without bodyguards."

Sakurabu thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "You’re right, at that time, we’ll temporarily divide the core security team into two groups, one staying in the real world and the other defending inside the Mirror World. If the White Crow Brigade is detected, the other team will immediately rush to support the attacked side."

"Though I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask, I have one last question." Blue Arc crossed his arms, thinking for a moment, and spoke.

Sakurabu turned to him: "What is it? Just say it, Mr. Blue Arc."

"If the Mirror Guardian dies, what will happen to the Mirror World?" Blue Arc said, raising his eyes to look at the man dressed as a Yin-Yang Master, "If he dies, will the Mirror World collapse instantly, and will the guests inside disappear or return to the Real World?"

The Mirror Guardian replied: "You can rest assured about this, even if I die, the Mirror World can sustain for at least half a day. Guests can leave in an orderly manner from the mirrored auction site before the Mirror World collapses, returning to the Real World."

Blue Arc sighed and looked directly at the Mirror Guardian.

He said: "I’m not trying to be aggressive, but I think this question is very important, so... how can I trust your words?"

The Mirror Guardian slowly retracted the folding fan covering the lower half of his face, meeting Blue Arc’s gaze.

He said: "Mr. Blue Arc says that, but I can’t die on the spot here to prove that the Mirror World can continue after I die; my understanding of Celestial Driver is all gained through many years of cultivation, based on this understanding, I believe even if I die, the Mirror World will last for a period."

He paused: "As for whether you want to believe me, that’s up to you... Otherwise, our cooperation can completely be terminated here."

Blue Arc remained silent.

After a while, Ke Qirui beside him spoke: "Mr. Blue Arc, weighing the situation, I think even with the risk of the Mirror World collapsing, it’s still better than having those gangster family elders attend the auction in the Real World. Otherwise, the probability of them being impacted by our battle and dying on the spot would exceed ninety percent."

"Let’s go with what Miss Ke said then." Blue Arc smiled.

Sakurabu breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, since a consensus has been reached, we will inform the guests a day in advance before the auction starts, telling them the real auction will be held in the Mirror World."

She took a deep breath: "Then...we intercept the White Crow Brigade outside the mirror, capturing them all in one go."

.....

.....

Moments later, Black Cocoon, who was playing with his phone on the second floor of the villa, suddenly sat up from the floor, put away his phone, supported his head with one hand, and looked towards the villa’s lobby.

From the mirror, Blue Arc’s figure was the first to walk out.

He immediately typed using the restraint belt and sent a message to Gu Qiye.

[Black Cocoon: Hey hey hey, Mr. Blue Arc, could you tell me what you all talked about in there? The mirror didn’t make a sound from start to finish. I was beginning to wonder if you all died inside.]

[Blue Arc: Tell me your true identity, and I’ll tell you what we talked about.]

[Black Cocoon: Gu, Zhuo, An.]

[Blue Arc: Goodbye.]
