Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 447: The Cave in the Mirror Covered in Dust and Smoke

Half an hour later.

"I've recited the spell a few times, and it seems to just stop the water from flowing for a few seconds... Let's switch to another one..."

"There is no spell in this book. It simply uses the word 'Mingjing Shishui' and changes it."

"It's another spell that can calm the mind. Although the effect is different, it seems to be inherited from the 'Great Raccoon Cult'. Let's do it again!"

Xia Fan, who had changed into a sports suit and blow-dried his hair, was sitting in front of a mirror in the middle of the woods, flipping through ancient books.

He kept chanting various spells of varying lengths and syllables, testing out their respective bizarre effects.

"Sure enough, the lost Mirror Water-Stopping Spell is not that easy to find."

Not far away, Aoi Jinguji, who had also changed into a white dress, helped take out ancient books from the house and handed them to Xia Fan, while simultaneously recording the effects of the spells written on these ancient books.

Since the spell that calmed the mind and the weak "rain-making spell", no other new spells have been found in other "ancient books".

"This 'nameless stone carving' is the second to last piece."

"Sir Xia Fan, after using so many spells in a row, do you want to take a break?"

Holding half a piece of stone engraved with small words, Jinguji Aoi came to Xia Fan and handed him a towel with concern.

"No, there are two more. Let's continue..."

Xia Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully studied the words on the stone in front of him...

There was no so-called "spiritual power" in his body, and [High-Speed ​​Divine Words] did not seem to consume it. The sweat on his body was entirely caused by the stuffiness in the summer forest.

"Hey, there is indeed a spell on this stone..."

“People should not look at flowing water, but look at still water. It is like a clear mirror on still water. When things come, it reflects them. When things go, it is empty.”

While scanning the stone tablet, Xia Fan recited a spell.

"Look, mirror, there's a change!"

Aoi Jinguji raised her head and found that the two figures reflected in the mirror in front of her began to distort and blur!
"Could this spell be the one that opens the passage to the Mirror Sky?"

Xia Fan couldn't help but stand up excitedly, standing side by side with the witch, carefully observing the changing mirror...

The next second, the distortion of the mirror returned to its original state...

"..."

"?"

The only difference is that the clothes that the two people in the mirror were originally wearing disappeared, and they were now naked.

"..."

Seeing the two figures standing side by side and facing each other honestly in the mirror, Jinguji Aoi's eyes froze and her little face instantly turned like a red-hot kettle.

“S-Close your eyes!”

"Ah? Ok, ok..."

Without caring about anything else, her first reaction was to reach out and cover Xia Fan's eyes.

"Please, please, Master Xia Fan, step back a few steps."

"Okay, okay..."

After shifting his gaze away from the muscular, sturdy body in the mirror, Jinguji Aoi pushed Xia Fan beside him and ran away in the opposite direction...

"Fortunately, it was only the image in the mirror that changed..."

"I don't feel lucky at all."

After leaving the reflection range of the mirror, Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi looked down at themselves, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that their clothes were still on their bodies.

"..." Then, there was an awkward silence between the two of them.

"Ahem... the mirror seems to have returned to normal. The spell effect must have disappeared..."

"What happened just now was all an accident. No one could have imagined that there would be such a spell."

After a while, Xia Fan tried to get to the edge of the mirror and stretched out his hand to test it...

In the mirror, he has regained his "well-dressed" appearance.

"Bah! I don't know which era or which school of psychics came up with this shameless spell, and even dared to name it 'Mingjing Zhishui'..."

With a blush on her face, Aoi Jinguji spat in embarrassment but still faithfully recorded it in her notebook.

The stone tablet originated from the Onmyoji Bureau that was destroyed in the war, and its origin cannot be traced. If it weren't for Xia Fan, the "universal spell repeater", no one would have known that such a vulgar spell was recorded on it.

"So, this is the last one left, right?"

"It seems that the Mirror Water-stopping Spell that leads to the Mirror Heaven is not in these 'ancient books'."

Xia Fan picked up a thin, yellowed piece of paper from the edge of the grass, a look of disappointment on his face.

This is a crumpled piece of letter paper. If it wasn't covered with words, he would believe it was toilet paper.

"Don't be discouraged, Master Xia Fan. With a master like you who can break the spell here, Lesson 9 will spare no effort to find ancient books related to the 'Mirror Still Water Spell'. We will be able to test it out sooner or later."

Jinguji Aoi held the little face that was still hot and comforted her softly.

Until now, Xia Fan's strong, uncovered body and the male features she saw for the first time were still lingering in her mind, making her feel a little fuzzy.

"Sooner or later... I don't know if Hanami's soul can wait..."

Xia Fan sighed and looked at the paper in his hand seriously.

After who knows how many years, the handwriting on the letter paper has become completely blurred, and only the delicate shape can be vaguely seen, as if it was written by a woman.

"Mr. Mizuki, I am writing to you..."

"We have known each other for thirty years, and we are like good teachers and good friends. Unfortunately, the light of Amaterasu does not tolerate anything else, and the demon race may no longer exist in the world."

"In order to continue the bloodline of my clan, I will lead my people to the other side of the mirror. I am afraid we may never meet again."

"If you encounter a matter of life or death, you can chant the mantra in front of the mirror and look for me in the mirror."

"This mantra is called 'Clear Mirror Still Water'. Do not tell anyone else..."

But after Xia Fan's eyes were dazed for a moment, the words suddenly flashed with a faint light and then became clear and readable.

"The mind is like a clear mirror, which cannot be touched by dust. It is also like still water, which cannot be disturbed. The world in the mirror is covered by dust and smoke, and only the clear mirror and still water can be touched..."

When he read to the end of the letter, Xia Fan's speech speed suddenly increased, and he recited a rapid spell in a tone and syllables that was not like that of a human.

At the same time, the mirror not far away began to glow with cracked light, as if it were explosion-proof glass that had been shattered by a powerful hammer.

"The mirror has changed... Could it be that behind this is..."

"Mirror Sky!"

Xia Fan and Jinguji Aoi went to the mirror and looked carefully, and found that the back of the mirror was blurry and could no longer reflect their images.

"Just like last time in the interrogation room, there seems to be a space behind the mirror. I'll go try it first!"

Xia Fan reached out and touched the mirror. After finding that he could enter it smoothly, he rushed in without hesitation.

"Yes, this is the place I visited last time... This should be the Mirror Sky."

Walking out from the other side of the mirror, Xia Fan found himself in an endless white fog.
