How did he experience such a great rise and fall in such a short time?
In the past, the parrot would not have known how to answer this question, but now … he understood.
He had experienced a great rise and fall in such a short time.
The rise was naturally a ticket to the World of Adepts.
The fall was when he was caught by his enemy before he could even leave the Mirror Realm.
The parrot raised his head and looked outside the 'glass'.
A huge face was slowly approaching the glass. His eyes were filled with mockery, like a giant observing a canary in a birdcage.
The truth was not far from that. The parrot had been caught and locked in a mini glass ball. Yes, he had been shrunk.
Now, the person outside was playing with the glass ball.
Looking at the face that looked exactly like Luigi's, the parrot felt aggrieved and helpless.
He had been deceived by the fake Luigi's face.
'Luigi' had come looking for him, saying that he wanted to take him away.
The parrot had believed him without even thinking about it, and had immediately left with him. If he had been more careful and spied on Luigi, he might have been able to avoid today's misfortune.
But … there was no point in saying this now.
Moreover, there was a reason why he didn't spy on Luigi back then. When he first saw Luigi and Laplace, his sixth sense warned him that these people were not to be trifled with. Any disrespect could lead to the deterioration of their relationship, and he would be the one to suffer in the end. Under such circumstances, he could not possibly spy on Luigi.
Thus, these thoughts in his mind were not even considered as advice in hindsight.
While the parrot was lamenting over his misfortune, 'Luigi' spoke from outside the glass ball, "Have you thought it through? I am very merciful. As long as you can answer my questions, I will let your body go and set you free. "
His words carried a tone of superiority. Even when he spoke of pity, the parrot did not feel the slightest bit of emotion. It only felt disgusted.
The parrot sneered and mocked through the glass ball, "Do you think I will trust a lying mirror ghost?"
"Every word you say now is just a flash of inspiration squeezed out from your little bit of rationality. Moreover, it is a predetermined flash of inspiration."
The parrot knew exactly who this person was.
Due to his understanding, he knew that the words of the mirror ghost were mostly lies even though they sounded reasonable and negotiable.
His true consciousness was a mess just like the other mirror ghosts.
At most, some sober thoughts would occasionally float out of the chaotic sea of consciousness. Just like the Mirror Witch, she could only stay awake for less than half an hour every day.
The mirror monster appeared to be awake, but in fact, it was very likely that it had entered an evil, chaotic, and irrational state of mind.
What he said now was most likely a plan that he had set up when he was awake to "make his external logic self-consistent".
Using the Mirror Witches as an example, they also represented the Town of Resentful Ladies in this gathering. They appeared to be sober and could even communicate with outsiders. But internally, he had basically fallen into chaos.
The reason why she could communicate with others without any hindrance was because the mirror demoness had set up some inertial feedback when she was awake.
It was similar to the intelligence that Mechanical Alchemists gave to mechanical life forms. They could plan the operation in advance and trigger the corresponding reaction when they saw certain actions or heard certain keywords.
This was a rigid response without a soul.
The mirror ghost was the same. From the parrot's point of view, everything he said could not be trusted. It was very likely that this was a predetermined response program and not his original intention.
Of course, there was a very small chance that he had really regained consciousness.
Even so, the parrot found it difficult to trust him.
The mirror ghost was never trustworthy. Lying was as easy as drinking water.
"Even if my conversation was predetermined, what can you do?" Luigi smiled evilly. "At least I gave you a choice, didn't I?"
"Also, I am not one of those inferior mirror ghosts. Under the great Blood Dominator's blessing, my original consciousness has been reborn."
Luigi stared at the parrot and mocked, "But even if I am not the original consciousness now, do you have any other choice?"
"If you don't say it, I can still read your memory after you die. It just takes some time to organize. "
The parrot raised its head and looked into Luigi's eyes. "Are you really awake?"
Luigi slowly stepped back and came to a tall throne. He looked down at the glass ball. "Whether I am the original consciousness or not has nothing to do with you. Now you just need to answer my question."
"What is the password to the Blood of God?" Luigi said while playing with an exquisite six-sided glass bottle in his hand.
Inside the glass bottle, there seemed to be some unknown golden quicksand.
But "Luigi" knew very well that the golden quicksand was actually the Blood of God. However, it was now in a sealed state.
To see the real Blood of God, one had to write the correct password pattern in the golden quicksand to restore the power of the Blood of God.
If the password was wrong, the bottle of Blood of God would explode instantly.
This method of sealing the bloodline was a secret technique of Bloodline Wizards.
The parrot did not answer Luigi's question directly. Instead, it said softly, "Even if I tell you now, you can't confirm whether I am telling the truth or not."
Once this sealed bloodline was reactivated, the internal energy would immediately enter the peak of activity.
If the bloodline was not used at its peak, the energy of the bloodline would slowly dissipate, and it would eventually become mediocre.
In other words, unlocking the bloodline was opening it. The shelf life after opening the bloodline was extremely short, and it would break if not used.
This was the characteristic of the Blood of God … Or rather, all bloodlines tainted with the aura of a wild god had this characteristic.
Because of this, even if the parrot told Luigi the correct password, he would not try it now. This was because the Blood of God was not for him to use, but to offer it to the so-called "Blood Dominator."
Moreover, the password to the Blood of God was his only means of stalling for time.
He could not tell Luigi so easily.
Of course, in order to stall for more time, in order to find a chance to "survive," he could not overly agitate Luigi. He still had to appease him.
Thinking of this, the parrot changed the topic. "Since I have already become a prisoner, I can assure you that when you want to use the bloodline, I will personally enter the password."
The parrot would enter the password personally, which meant that he could not make a mistake. Because if he made a mistake, he would be taken away by the explosion caused by the failure of the unlocking …
Luigi looked deeply at the parrot and laughed softly. "Okay, I will allow you to conceal the password for now. However, when the time comes, you do not need to enter the password personally. You only need to watch from afar, and someone will enter the password. "
Hearing this, the parrot's expression sank slightly.
This seemed to be a favor from the other party, but it was actually a threat.
Because if he entered the password incorrectly, he would also die. And death, in a sense, was also a kind of relief.
Therefore, if the parrot personally entered the password, it might have an attitude of "mutual destruction."
But if the parrot did not enter the password personally, but someone else, then even if the parrot deliberately said the wrong password, the person who died would not be the parrot.
And at that time, the parrot who was still alive might suffer a torture worse than death.
This was also Luigi's plan.
The parrot said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Luigi stroked the bottle of Blood of Gods with a caressing expression. After a long while, he said, "My second question is, where is the Plate of Two Gods?"
Hearing the words "Plate of Two Gods," the parrot suddenly raised its head and stared at Luigi. "How do you know about the Plate of Two Gods?"
Luigi said, "I am asking you a question now. I did not give you permission to ask."
After a pause, Luigi sneered. "However, I can tell you the answer to this question. Linnie told me."
The parrot was speechless. "Linnie? You have caught Linnie? "
Linnie was a member of the Void Caravan that he used to belong to. He was also one of the closest members of the caravan to him. But ever since the parrot left the caravan, it had not been in contact with Linnie … Now, did Linnie fall into the hands of the mirror ghost?
Luigi said, "You do not need to know this. You only need to know that this information came from Linnie. "
The parrot was silent for a moment. "Even Linnie does not know about the Plate of Two Gods."
Luigi shook his head. "No, Linnie knows."
"You have the secret treasure 'Aura of the Sea Cave' in your hands. You also accidentally obtained the Bloodline Fruit of the Beast God. Then, you deliberately ran to the Desolate Savage World. Your goal is clear. Isn't it to obtain the blood of the Wild God? "
"The blood of the Wild God, the blood of the Beast God, and through the constancy of the secret treasure, isn't it … the Plate of Two Gods?"
The parrot did not say anything. Luigi continued, "You have already obtained the blood of the Wild God. I do not believe that you did not do anything with it. You have at least half a unit of the blood of the Wild God. "
The air was silent for a long time. Then, the parrot slowly said, "The Plate of Two Gods is not in my hands. In order to form the Plate of Two Gods, it requires a special environment. "
Luigi asked, "Then where is it?"
The parrot looked up at Luigi. Its mouth opened slightly as it silently said something.
When Luigi heard this answer, he frowned slightly. If it was there, it would not be so easy to obtain it.
Seeing that Luigi was silent for a long time, the parrot said, "I have answered what I should. You should keep your promise and let me out."
Luigi sneered. "I only promised to let go of your physical body. I did not promise to let you out. As for freedom? I did not say when I would set you free. Let's wait until the great Blood Dominator descends. "
The parrot did not seem surprised. "As expected, mirror ghosts are all shameless."
Luigi said, "Shameless is a compliment to us. Thank you for the compliment. "
The parrot closed its eyes and told itself not to get angry. After a long time, it opened its eyes again. "Okay, I can continue to stay here. However, you asked me a few questions just now, and I answered them all. I also want to ask you a question. "
Luigi nodded noncommittally. "Ask away. But it is up to me whether I answer or not. "
The parrot ignored the second half of his sentence and said directly, "Why did you impersonate Luigi? How did you know that he signed a contract with me? Did he tell you? "
Luigi chuckled. "Are you confused about whether Luigi betrayed you?"
The parrot did not answer.
Luigi continued, "Alright, I can answer that. But in return, you have to answer one of mine."
The parrot nodded. "Alright."
After getting the answer from the parrot, the fake Luigi did not beat around the bush. "Did Luigi betray you? The answer is yes — "
Yes? The parrot narrowed its eyes.
The fake Luigi looked at the parrot's reaction and found it interesting. "… Did he betray you?"
The parrot was speechless.
Luigi deliberately dragged out the time. In the end, when the parrot's expression did not change, Luigi said indifferently, "Unfortunately, there isn't."
The parrot narrowed its eyes. "Then how did you know we signed a contract?"
"I don't know." Luigi shrugged.
"You don't know? How is that possible? "
The parrot's expression slowly darkened.
According to the mirror ghost, it had been watching Luigi for a long time. The mirror ghost did not know what Luigi said to Angor's group, but it sensed the residual ripple of a contract in the room after they left.
Ever since Luigi came to the Mirror Domain, the parrot had been looking for a way to leave.
Luigi had always been careful in the Mirror Domain and never touched contracts.
But now, Luigi had signed a contract with Angor's group. Luigi thought about Angor's identity as a "human", and how excited Luigi was when they left.
The mirror ghost guessed that Angor's group might have a way to help Luigi leave.
Of course, it was only a guess.
In the end, Mirror Ghost was able to confirm the terms of the contract because Mirror Ghost had disguised himself as Luigi and went to see Parrot. He had used the ambiguous phrase "it's time to leave" to fool Parrot.
Luigi believed it right away.
The mirror ghost realized that the contract had something to do with "leaving the Mirror Domain".
Luigi did not betray Luigi. It was Luigi who did not handle the details properly and let the mirror ghost notice.
Luigi lowered its head and muttered, "So it's my fault."
The mirror ghost ignored Luigi's frustration. "Now, it's your turn to answer my question."
"It's simple. When did you find out that I'm an imposter?"
The "dispute" happened in the crystal tunnel, but the mirror ghost believed that was only the beginning. Luigi was not sure if Luigi was an imposter.
The mirror ghost was curious. What was wrong with him that made the parrot suspicious?
