Chapter 161: Klein’s Version of “Magic Mirror Divination”

The curtains were tightly drawn, the wall lamps extinguished. Following the requirements of “magic mirror divination,” Audrey completed all the necessary preparations.

Of course, she had not deliberately chosen a suitable time period. When making a request of Mr. Fool, there was no need to be so troublesome.

Glancing at the candle before her and the mirror that reflected both its flame and herself, Audrey, filled with both curiosity and faint unease, picked up a bottle of hydrosol and dripped a little of its liquid onto the dim yellow flame.

A quiet, elegant fragrance entered her nose, and Audrey suddenly remembered the days when she had been nothing more than an enthusiast of mysticism.

Back then, she had also made all kinds of mistakes. At crucial points in rituals, she would discover that she had forgotten to prepare the essential oil and hydrosol meant to please the deity, and would have no choice but to make do with perfume instead. The results, without exception, had been failures.

Actually, judging from the information Mr. Fool has revealed, even if I really used my own perfume in place of this hydrosol, He would still respond to me… Audrey took a small, gentle breath. With the help of meditation, she made herself completely calm.

She knew that the uncontrolled wandering of her thoughts just now was not her normal state. Her slight anticipation and nervousness had been amplified by the Lie necklace!

Having adjusted herself, Audrey clasped her hands together and pressed them before her lowered mouth and nose, as if in prayer. With utmost sincerity, she began reciting in a low voice:

“The Fool that doesn’t belong to this era;

“The mysterious ruler above the gray fog;

The secret incantation echoed softly. After seven recitations, Audrey sensed that something indescribable had appeared within the surrounding darkness, like an undercurrent hidden beneath the surface of water.

Raising her head, Audrey extended her right hand and passed it beside the candle flame that did not waver at all, stroking the surface of the mirror from top to bottom without touching it.

At this point, the process of “magic mirror divination” was complete. If the mysterious and unknown existence was interested, it would use the mirror to provide a certain response.

Above the gray fog, inside the ancient and majestic palace, Klein saw the crimson star representing Miss Justice first expand, then contract. Illusory light rippled outward. In the end, all of it was tinged with a darkness that approached black, gathering into a mirror-sized halo that seemed capable of leading to the outside world.

This effect is different from previous rituals. Interesting… Klein leaned back against his chair and extended his spirituality until it touched that deep-black circle, which looked almost like the mouth of a cave.

Silently, his field of vision changed. The bronze long table, the crimson stars, and the spacious room lit by candlelight strangely overlapped, yet remained clearly separate from one another.

At that moment, Klein felt as though a mirror had become an extension of his body and his eyes, allowing him to see and interfere with the real world clearly from above the gray fog.

Yes—clearly!

The gray, hazy blur that usually veiled everything in his sight was gone. Every object appeared with sharp clarity in his eyes.

His gaze suddenly froze for two seconds.

Before him stood a young lady wearing a pure-white dress trimmed with golden lace. Her golden hair was loosely gathered, smooth and lustrous as it fell. Her emerald eyes reflected the somewhat pale candlelight—deep like the sea, yet also like the purest gemstones. Her features and the shape of her face combined into a breathtaking beauty, her bearing elegant and innocent.

For some inexplicable reason, Klein guiltily shifted his gaze away.

I almost thought she was a…
