A sealed secret room.
As the name suggested, the walls were all made of special materials to isolate all sights and noises from the outside world.
"The manager chose to meet you in a sealed secret room for two reasons. First, to prevent the Mystery aura from leaking out and causing unnecessary trouble. Second, he was worried that the spirit of the giant city might see through him. "
For the sake of the shop's privacy, such an independent sealed secret room was built.
No one could see what was going on inside from the outside. Even spirit power would be blocked by a special wave.
The way to enter the sealed secret room was also complicated, which seemed to involve the use of consciousness.
Xiluo stood in front of the sealed secret room and closed his eyes.
Angor could sense that Xiluo's emotions were very active. Active emotions did not necessarily mean active consciousness, but it was more or less the same.
Even Xiluo had to work for a full five minutes in such a high-intensity battle.
The door of the sealed secret room was slowly opened.
When the door was fully opened, Xiluo opened his eyes and spoke in a tired voice, "Sir, please come in. The manager is waiting for you inside. "
Xiluo led the way and walked into the door. Angor followed behind.
As they entered, the huge stone door slowly closed as if it was never opened.
…
It was a pure white secret room. Walking inside, they felt as if they had entered a white world.
The walls around them began to recede infinitely.
They stood still, but they felt the space was getting bigger and bigger.
It felt as if they were being affected by some external force and were slowly shrinking. But if they sensed carefully, they would find that it was not them who were shrinking, but the space was really expanding.
It was … a space spell similar to Expansion Rune.
When the walls around them completely extended to the point where they could no longer be seen by the naked eye, a single, oval-shaped metal building suddenly appeared in front of them.
The building was like a ball of light on a dance floor, buried in the white "snow".
At this time, five figures were standing at the entrance of the "ball of light" building.
The one standing at the front was a tall, muscular, and elegant man. He stood in a standard posture, tall and straight, and his shoulders were also standard double doors.
Coupled with the black and golden patterned uniform and the mop fur cape, he gave people a sense of deja vu of the Ingji Tribe.
However, as long as one looked above the man's neck, one would realize that he was not from the Ying Ji Clan, but the Goggles Clan.
The shiny round mirror replaced the man's head and stood on his neck.
The face that appeared in the mirror was a handsome face with a sense of aggression.
On both sides of the man stood two slender and graceful women, but their dress was very similar to Xi Luo. Although they both had heads, their eyes were smooth mirrors.
Different 2D eyes appeared on the mirror.
All five pairs of eyes were staring at him curiously.
"Honorable guest, please allow me to introduce you." Xi Luo took a deep breath and stepped forward. ,
She addressed Angor as "guest" instead of "mister" this time. This was not a change of attitude. She just did not want her colleagues to hear about her favoritism.
After seeing Angor nodding, Xi Luo began to introduce the five people.
Among them, the four female members of the Mirror Clan could be ignored. Just like Xi Luo, they were all employees of the Mirror Shop, and they all used three-digit code names.
The only male was the store manager of Little Jing Shop No. 4.
His code name was "004".
After Xi Luo finished introducing everyone, the store manager walked up and said, "408, you may leave. I'll take care of the rest. "
Xi Luo nodded obediently and retreated to the other four female employees.
Manager 004 walked to Angor and bowed slightly. "Honorable guest, the Paron Purifying Fluid you requested is here."
While speaking, 004 took out a small wooden box and handed it to Angor.
Angor took a look at the box.
From the outside, it looked exactly like the Paron Purifying Fluid he saw in the picture. Using his spirit power, Angor confirmed that both Paron Godly Fluid and Paron Condensing Fluid gave off the same feeling.
This was probably the Paron Purifying Fluid.
Since the Mirror Clan dared to open a shop, and one with such a high number, they should not be stingy with their products.
With that in mind, Angor nodded, closed the wooden box, and put it away.
Seeing this, Store Manager 004 continued, "408 just sent me a message saying that the customer wants to experience the 'Vigilant Eye'. Is this true?"
Angor nodded. "Yes, I do want to experience it."
Manager 004 smiled. "Then please follow me, mister."
Manager 004 turned around and walked into the lightning-ball-like building. Angor followed, while Xi Luo and the other four employees stayed behind.
After entering the building, Angor noticed that the interior of the building was quite spacious.
It looked like a library.
There were bookshelves all around, and they were filled with books. Only the center of the library was empty.
The warm orange light from the ceiling gave the library a quaint atmosphere.
There were also a lot of people in this strange library.
Apart from the Mirror Clan, there were also people from other races, such as the Ingit Clan, the Longhuo Clan, and the Peluxiu Clan. There were also other races that were rarely seen in the White Sun Mirror Region, such as barbarians, pointy people, and even a few humans.
However, these humans were probably Hollow People. When they saw Angor, they did not look at him as if they had just met an old friend in a foreign land.
Instead, they looked at him as if he was a three-year-old child.
He also saw some races he did not recognize, such as two-tailed mermaids from an unknown world, and slime shapeshifting water elementals.
These people were all sitting around the bookshelves, reading books.
Occasionally, they would cast curious glances at Angor, but they would quickly look away and return to their books.
Manager 004 led Angor and the five employees to the center of the library, which was empty.
There was only a round table and a few benches around it.
Manager 004 sat down on one side of the table and gestured Angor to take a seat.
Angor accepted the offer and sat down. The other five clerks went to stand behind 004.
Next, Manager 004 clapped his hands, and a glass cover appeared to cover the center of the library. This separated them from the people outside.
Angor looked at 004 with a puzzled look.
Both the sudden appearance of the glass cover and the library full of people left Angor puzzled.
"This soundproof cover is to make it easier for us to talk, so that we won't be disturbed by people outside. As for the rest … "Manager 004 chuckled." I know you have a lot of questions, but you'll understand soon enough. "
Manager 004 did not explain further. Instead, he tapped on the table.
A hole appeared in the center of the table, and a transparent bubble slowly floated out.
As soon as the bubble appeared, a faint, mysterious aura began to spread in all directions. In an instant, the aura filled up the entire glass cover.
And the source of this mysterious aura was an object inside the bubble.
A pair of glasses.
It looked like a pair of rimless spectacles with a golden frame, which made it look like a trendsetter.
If Angor was not mistaken, the rimless spectacles were the reason why Angor came here: the treasure, Vigilant Eye.
The bubble with the Vigilant Eye inside slowly floated in the air and finally reached Angor.
The bubble popped, and the spectacles fell onto Angor's hand.
Angor instinctively used his spirit feelers to check the spectacles. Apart from the Mystery energy covering his face, he could not sense anything else.
"What's this?" Angor looked up at Manager 004.
"This is the Vigilant Eye. If you want to experience it, you may put it on."
Manager 004 waited for another ten seconds. Angor still did not move, so he thought of something and said, "Don't worry, it won't be dangerous."
"I swear in the name of the Lord of Jeh that this experience will be free of traps."
Manager 004 thought Angor was worried that the Vigilant Eye might be a trap, which was why he did not put it on. In fact, Angor was not worried about that at all. He was simply trying to sense the aura of the Vigilant Eye.
He was also secretly trying to analyze the aura.
If he succeeded, he might be able to use a manifestation of the Mystery energy to simulate its aura.
However, it was a pity.
It was not easy to analyze the Mystery energy in a short time, even if it was just a rough understanding of its structure.
At least, Angor could not do it right now.
After confirming that he could not do it in a short time, Angor gave up and put the Vigilant Eye on his nose.
Before putting it on, Angor was still trying to figure out the effect of this artifact.
According to the records on the mirror, the Vigilant Eye allowed Angor to sense the kindness and malice in other people's eyes.
In other words, it allowed Angor to sense the kindness and malice of others.
Apart from that, there was another mysterious effect: Angor could see the monsters hiding in the depths of one's mind.
Because of this unknown effect, Angor was curious about it, so he came here to experience the "Vigilance Eye".
Angor did not feel anything strange when he put on the Vigilant Eye.
His vision was normal, and he did not see any so-called kindness or malice.
Maybe it was because he was looking down and was not looking at other people.
Angor reached out his index finger to adjust the position of the spectacles on his nose before he looked up.
The first thing he saw was 004, who was standing on the opposite side.
Angor was puzzled when he saw nothing strange about 004. Did the artifact lose its ability to detect kindness and malice?
As he pondered, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He noticed that there was something moving on 004's shoulder.
Angor looked over and saw something moving under the cloak. About three seconds later, a black ball finally came out of the cloak.
The strange black ball had a pair of big eyes.
Its appearance was a bit like … the black charcoal ball in the "Totoro" cartoon recorded in the holographic tablet, which was also a dust sprite.
The black ball seemed to be struggling to get out of the cloak, and its eyes were watery.
Maybe it sensed Angor's gaze, because the black ball slowly looked up and met Angor's eyes.
The black ball poked out an arm that looked like a matchstick and waved at Angor, as if it was greeting him.
When they looked at each other, Angor clearly sensed that the furry thing was looking at him with curiosity.
What's this?
Angor really wanted to take off his spectacles to check if he was seeing things.
When Angor raised his hand to take off his glasses, the furry thing suddenly disappeared.
As he wondered, the black furry ball popped out again, this time around 004's shoulder.
Am I seeing things?
While he was still trying to figure out what was going on, the black furball disappeared and reappeared again.
This time, Angor finally found the reason.
It all came from 004.
Whenever 004 looked at Angor again, the black furry ball would appear. When he looked away from Angor, the black ball would disappear as well.
So the black ball appeared because of 004's gaze.
Was this the so-called mind monster?
Angor had no idea.
He decided to give up on studying the black ball for now. Instead, he looked around and saw the five shop assistants.
Three of them were now looking at Angor.
As they focused their attention, Angor saw three strange creatures among them.
One was a cat-faced butterfly flapping its yellowish wings. The other was looking at Angor with curiosity … but more than that, it was cold.
An elegant robot with a half-body height was dancing around one of the shop assistants. Each of its movements was graceful and drifting, as if it was skating on ice. No, it was actually wearing ice boots. The robot would occasionally look at Angor with cold eyes, but it was the kind of indifference that didn't concern it.
The last one was the strange creature beside Xi Luo.
She was accompanied by a flying object that looked like a yellow flounder. The flying object seemed to be holding a stage, on which various characters were showing up.
The flying object's eyes were as bright as lamps. When it blinked at Angor, it seemed to be looking at him with friendliness, which was completely different from the previous two creatures.
It even flew to Angor and circled him twice. It even rubbed the back of Angor's hand to show its affection.
