She was being hunted down, so she became a magical girl.

"...Crow, am I really that unlucky?"

Xu Ting stared at the envelope in his hand, and after a long while, he finally managed to utter this sentence.

"How did this Mirror Master find me? Does he, like the Star Servant, also know how to gouge eyes?"

Xu Ting is currently in the small apartment that Luo Ruowei found for Qi Li.

Gray Crow led Huan Guang and Jiang Cheng back to the water tower. Xu Ting couldn't stay at Mimosa and Mistletoe's house, so he stayed in this small apartment.

The three days Xu Ting stayed there were the most relaxed three days he had recently.

With no pursuers, no work, and no imminent threats, Xu Ting spent his days instructing Qi Li and did whatever he wanted the rest of the time, living a carefree life!

But why have those four damned divine envoys come knocking on our door again?

We just dealt with the Starry Night Divine Servant, and now another Mirror Master Envoy has arrived...

"Xu Ting, open it and take a look," said the crow.

"I didn't find out when this letter appeared, but I didn't detect any trace of magic on it, so it should be safe."

Xu Ting made the same judgment.

With a heavy heart, she opened the envelope and began to read the so-called letter from "Master Xuyu".

Hello, anonymous colleague.

The fact that you received this letter proves that you also possess the power of a divine messenger and are currently located in the City of Her.

[Perhaps the messenger you serve is different from mine, but please disregard these meaningless sectarian views and do me a favor.]

[A "Mirror Box" from the Xuyufang has gone missing within the City of He.]

【Her life force has not yet been extinguished, but she has not contacted anyone in the workshop for several days. I request that you search for this Mirror Box for the Xuyu Workshop.】

If she is still on the run, this letter can be given to her, and she can use it to initiate a time reversal and return to the city.

[If she has already been captured by the magical girl, please grant her a peaceful rest. Mirror Box knows a great deal, and if it were to leak information, it could be extremely harmful to us.]

[Afterwards, Xuyufang will present you with a generous gift to express our gratitude.]

The remaining sheets of paper inside the envelope contained basic information about the person in the mirror case and the methods used to locate them.

The contents of this envelope are a gift from Suyubo to you. Even if you are preoccupied with important matters and unable to offer your assistance, the gift will still belong to you.

"...So, this letter was actually sent to the wrong address?"

Xu Ting said.

The letter clearly stated that one of the "Mirror Boxes" under the command of the Master of the Mirrors, Suyu, had gone missing in He City. The Master of the Mirrors was very anxious, but had no other subordinates in He City, so he could only send a message in a bottle to the evil god's apostle who was in He City and had the power of will to help find him.

Xu Ting, who possesses both the power of a divine servant and the power of a lord, became the lucky one who found the message in the bottle.

"The delivery standards of this Xuyu Fangzhu are actually not the problem," the crow remarked.

"Under normal circumstances, the divine messenger will only bestow blessings upon His trusted subordinates. These apostles of evil gods have a certain level of strength and can complete the task of finding people. At the same time, they are highly reliable and will most likely accept the request of the Lord of the Moment."

At the very least, killing that [Mirror Box] is something these evil god apostles would do.

They also didn't want information about the evil god's apostles to be leaked.

"But then you, this unexpected person, came along."

"Yes, I'm not an apostle of an evil god," Xu Ting said gloatingly.

"Let this [Mirror Box] leak the information; it won't affect me anyway."

"It would be even better if the Tianyi Group decided to attack the stronghold of the Evil God's Apostles after obtaining this intelligence, as it would also help divert the Tianyi Group's attention from me."

The crow deeply agrees:

"Indeed, we have a different stance from them."

Xu Ting breathed a sigh of relief after realizing that the Mirror Master wasn't targeting him like the Starry Night Servant.

She used magic to wrap the envelope and examined the "gift" mentioned in the letter.

After shaking it three times, a mirror slid out of the envelope.

"This is... a handheld mirror?"

Xu Ting cautiously used her magic to lift it up and place it upside down on the kitchen floor.

The Mirror Master's name is indeed Mirror Master, so he may have the ability to observe things through a mirror, so we cannot be careless.

"Huh?" the crow suddenly spoke.

"Isn't this the [Mirror of Illusion]?"

Xu Ting asked curiously:

"The Mirror of Illusion? It can disguise itself?"

"No." Crow denied Xu Ting's guess.

"The Mirror of Illusion is a 'magical artifact' that appeared a hundred years ago. At that time, the Mirror Master was just an ordinary apostle of an evil god, responsible for the logistics of the evil god's side. This Mirror of Illusion was created by Him and His subordinates."

"Its function is very simple: concealment."

"Many high-level apostles of evil gods have the power to change their physical form, so they don't need a tool to help them disguise themselves, but they do need a tool to hide their aura."

"And the virtual mirror can do this."

"By using it, one can make their magical energy fluctuations lower than usual for a period of time, and even completely disguise themselves as an ordinary person."

"With the Mirror of Illusion, the apostles of evil gods no longer need to worry about being disturbed by magical girls in their daily lives."

"Later, the spy department under the Lord of the Night took a liking to the effects of the Illusion Mirror and asked the development department under the Mirror Master to continue upgrading the Illusion Mirror to give it more effects."

"For example, with a 'cognitive filter,' you can use a virtual mirror to put a filter on yourself, making it impossible for people who don't know you to recognize who you are."

"With the improved version of the Illusion Mirror, the Nightless Lord's infiltration work has been very successful. Some female evil god apostles have even disguised themselves as magical girls and infiltrated the magical girl organization... But all of that is in the past."

Having said that, the crow gave its judgment:

"The reason why the Master of the Temple of the Imaginary Realm slipped the envelope into the envelope was probably because he was worried that the evil god's apostle who received the envelope would not be able to hide properly."

Xu Ting looked enviously at the illusory mirror on the ground:

"So this Mirror of Illusion is really a wonderful thing."

"It's a pity I don't dare use this thing. Who knows if there are any underhanded tricks set up by the mastermind behind it?"

"What is there to be afraid of?"

The crow said confidently,

"The Mirror of Illusion is just a tool. As long as the mark of its previous owner is erased, even magical girls can use it."

"After the magical girls' espionage department discovered the Mirror of Illusion, they immediately had someone study it. After confirming that the Mirror of Illusion was harmless, they even had some magical girls disguise themselves as female apostles of evil gods and infiltrate the evil god's forces."

The spy drama plot is full of twists and turns... Xu Ting thought to himself.

After telling the story, the crow said:

"So Xu Ting, as long as you use magic to cleanse the magic in the Illusion Mirror, you can use it with confidence."

Xu Ting shook his head and said:

"Let's be cautious. If we can avoid using it, we should. It would be troublesome if something went wrong."

"Alright, that's your prerogative," said the crow. "Give me the Mirror of Illusion, and I'll keep it safe for you."

Hopefully, we won't find ourselves in a situation where we have to use a virtual mirror...

As Xu Ting handed the mirror to the crow, he thought to himself.
