Chapter 1246: Chapter 855: Seeing the Demigod Again

Shards of the shattered mirror fell on Li Changhe’s trench coat, and he reached out to catch a piece, falling into silence.

Since the River Task, he had learned some sign language, hoping to encounter his family members in one of the task worlds. He hadn’t expected to actually use it now...

He didn’t know if the woman he had just seen was real.

Li Changhe hoped she was real because her care for him felt so genuine.

But he didn’t want his deceased mother to be exploited by some abnormality again.

Li Changhe took a few deep breaths to steady his emotions before leaving the mall with the Great Wall players.

"For now, at least, we know that the mirrors in the mall can project those who have a deep connection with the Reflector, and who no longer exist," Cangyue Ming analyzed. "But we still don’t know the danger of this phenomenon. We just checked, and there are more than a thousand mirrors in this mall. Just to be safe, we should seal this place off and start experimenting."

"A deep connection..." Zhao Qianhui said, "If it merely appears within the mirror, indeed, it could not cause any harm. At most, it would damage the mirrors."

"But what if they could come out?" a Great Wall player spoke up, "What if they could walk out from the mirrors into the Real World?"

At that moment, including Li Changhe, all the players fell silent.

If they could bring their deceased loved ones back, it would be the best task ever. But the barrier between life and death, even Divinity can’t break.

Besides, the current abnormality must harbor some kind of danger.

At the same time, Li Changhe suspected that this abnormal phenomenon was related to the Catastrophe that Lady Nanzhuang had mentioned.

In the original plan of the Tianyan Association, a powerful Lord of the Book of Heaven was supposed to use this catastrophe to greatly enhance their power.

Just seeing the deceased probably wouldn’t be enough for such a significant boost... it must be more dangerous.

Could it really be that people from within the mirrors could come out?

"Then, you all continue with the sealing and testing," Li Changhe said. "Given the temperament of Evolution Game, you never know where it might lay traps. I’ll go somewhere else to gather some information."

"Information? What do you have in mind?" Cangyue Ming inquired.

"’They’ had invited me to a meeting at Twilight Manor before this incident emerged, and they might have some information now," Li Changhe responded. The so-called ’They’ were obviously the Heavenly Principle of the Mountain River Alliance.

Inside Heavenly Principle, the ’loyal renegade’ Xu Zhi had added [Friends] and then contacted Li Changhe, telling him that Heavenly Principle intended to invite him to a meeting.

And Xu Zhi’s meaning was for Li Changhe to consider carefully, especially since there are many strong players in Heavenly Principle, and it would be in the strange space of Twilight Manor.

Initially, Li Changhe did not plan to go, as his identity as the official son-in-law was completely unhidden.

If Heavenly Principle still dared to invite him, they must be planning something.

However, the current Li Changhe was not someone easy to deal with either, his title as the strongest under the Demigods resonated in the world just as the Seventh Devil King.

If Heavenly Principle still wanted to proceed with some kind of plan, they wouldn’t make a move against Li Changhe.

Li Changhe’s words left the other Great Wall players confused, but Cangyue Ming understood and silently nodded afterward.

In [Friends], Li Changhe said, "Be very careful--our undercover colleagues will help you."

"Undercover colleagues...?" Li Changhe responded in [Friends], "Don’t let it turn out that when it’s time, a bunch of people stand up and say, ’Sorry, I’m the mole.’

Inside Heavenly Principle, Wang Er was already an undercover agent from the Great Wall.

And Xu Zhi had been converted by Crying Hero, turning into a follower of Black Mud.

Adding Li Changhe himself, and the undercover from Firewood, there were already four of them.

Don’t let it turn out that out of ten people, nine are undercover...

Afterward, Li Changhe bid farewell to the Great Wall players. And he contacted Xu Zhi in [Friends], asking him to arrange access to Twilight Manor.

After he left, a Great Wall player asked puzzled, "Vice captain, who is this colleague? I’ve never seen him before?"

"Is he from Team Three? Which group is he from?"

"When he brandished his weapon, the oppression I felt was intense. Who is he really?"

Cangyue Ming wore a melancholic expression. He had watched Li Changhe grow from a novice player, who had desperately struggled against Fire Man, into the most formidable demigod known today.

Therefore, he smiled and replied, "You will find out soon enough."

....

Elsewhere, Li Changhe rode a car for an hour.

In the basket of a shared electric scooter by the street, he found a Teleportation Scroll.

This was the method informed by Xu Zhi for entering Twilight Manor, using regular procedures of Heavenly Principle to avoid exposing Xu Zhi’s identity.

Li Changhe picked up the scroll, found a secluded corner nearby, donned the Mountain Pattern Armor, and then used the scroll directly.

A pulling sensation swept over him, and when Li Changhe’s feet touched solid ground, he had already arrived at the manor under the twilight.

This space was created by the demigods behind Heavenly Principle.

Since it was forever enveloped in twilight, it was also known as Twilight Manor.

It served as the headquarters of Heavenly Principle and a secret base hidden from the outside world.

Great Wall players had investigated multiple times but could never pinpoint the location of the manor.

At the same time, Li Changhe also saw a man at the manor’s entrance who was bowing to him: "Welcome, Sir Li Ba."

This man turned out to be Xu Zhi, who looked at Li Changhe without revealing any expression.

But in [Friends], he quickly responded, "My lord, the great person is inside. And several of his apostles are also here. If it really comes to a fight, I will open the northern passage for you. But please be careful, this is ultimately their domain."

"I understand. Also, Xu Zhi, just call me General."

"As you command, General!"

Li Changhe responded in [Friends] and then followed Xu Zhi into the interior of the manor.

Just as Xu Zhi had said, the manor was heavily guarded.

As Li Changhe, the strongest under the demigods, arrived, Heavenly Principle showed their underlying strength.

More than ten players with formidable combat capabilities did not hide their presence; they were stationed at every corner of the manor.

Their looks towards Li Changhe were full of vigilance.

In the center of the main hall, on a leather sofa, sat a beautiful woman dressed in a red gown.

In her hands, she cradled a crystal skull and elegantly smiled at Li Changhe: "Welcome, General Li Ba. I am the leader of Heavenly Principle, and also your faithful ally, Qin Ling."

This woman was the one who had disguised herself as a woman hypnotized by Xu Zhi on Li Changhe’s first visit to Twilight Manor.

Now, finally discarding her disguise, she revealed her true face.

"However, would your sudden visit be for some particular reason?" Qin Ling invited Li Changhe to sit and asked.

"It seems you haven’t received any news either," Li Changhe casually responded, then looked at the crystal skull in Qin Ling’s hand and said, "Never mind, I am not here to see you anyway."

Qin Ling’s face slightly changed. Several Heavenly Principle players frowned, thinking Li Changhe was too arrogant. God’s Chosen herself had personally received him, yet he still spoke presumptuously.

But they soon quieted down.

Because the crystal skull in Qin Ling’s hand suddenly spoke.

"My friend... please forgive my people’s rudeness."

(Sorry for the delay, the Instance settings were a bit sluggish.)
