870 A Question That Strikes The Hear (2/2)
Of course, the premise is that I don't expose myself… Klein pondered for a few seconds and asked again, ”Where is the demigod beside Hazel Macht hiding?”
The mirror's surface had aqueous light ripple out as the scene changed.
On a thick carpet with beautiful embroidery, there was a small leather sofa. On the surface of the single-seater was a white, furry cushion. In the middle of it was a gray rat. Compared to its kind, its eyes were closer to dark red.
Rat… That Marauder demigod has parasitized a rat? And he's sleeping inside Hazel's room in broad daylight? He got himself what looks like a very expensive cushion… He had to transform into this because I foiled his plans? Klein was surprised before he felt a little amused.
The scene fixed as silver lines surfaced:
”Great Master, what other instructions do you have for me?”
Very sharp… Klein tersely answered and said, ”Use the mirror in the room to warn that demigod.
”Tell him that all around this street there is an angel from the Marauder pathway with ill intentions plying it. Furthermore, Blasphemer Amon might come at any time.”
”Alright, Master. I'll do it immediately!” The words on the mirror sparkled.
…
In Hazel's room, the gray rat felt his spiritual perception stirred as he hurriedly stood up and cast his gaze on the full-body mirror in the room.
On the surface of the mirror, words that seemed to be written with fresh blood that had yet to coagulate appeared.
”Leave this area!”
The gray rat's gaze froze for a second as it fell silent for a moment.
”Why?”
The blood seemed to flow as the words spread out and formed new words:
”The surrounding area has an angel from the Marauder pathway in urgent need of replenishment plying it. This pathway is the nemesis of all High-Sequence Beyonders. Blasphemer Amon is rushing over.
”I'm warning you because I do not wish for 'Them' to benefit.”
The gray rat squeaked softly before asking in a deep voice, ”Who are you?”
It was extremely frustrated, frustrated that the strength it accumulated would often be forced to be drained. Otherwise, it could use Astromancy to confirm the situation.
The full-body mirror which had dimmed at some point in time suddenly had bloody words appear again, presenting new information:
”I've already answered one question of yours. Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask.”
Following that, a new line of bloody-red text appeared underneath:
”After you hurriedly parasitized a rat, you should be influenced by the body's construct and hormones. Now, which entity will make you have the desire to mate:
”Female human, male human, female rat, male rat, or all of the above?
”Please answer.”
At this moment, Hazel cracked open the door. And for some reason, the gray rat inside didn't notice it, seemingly affected by something.
The door opened slightly again as Hazel discovered that the entity who claimed to be a demigod that existed in legends was staring at the mirror in a daze. It seemed infatuated with its present appearance: a gray rat.
Uh… Hazel's brows twitched slightly as she subconsciously paused her action of opening the door.
Then, she saw the gray rat's body tremble, its red eyes effusing a clear murderous look.
”Stop fooling around with me!” the gray rat growled.
It turned its head to leave the room, but invisible chains suddenly bound its rat's body!
This strength wasn't anything for it to fear when it was in its optimal state, but now, everything it had accumulated had been drained. The latest action was to infuse a dream to the Beyonder bodyguard whom Dwayne Dantès had hired.
Boom!
A thick, silver bolt of lightning descended down from the sky, smiting the gray rat.
The scene before Hazel's eyes turned blinding-white as she couldn't see anything. Immediately, her vision recovered as she found the gray rat on the ground, charred black. Its limbs were twitching.
