Pascual, Purgatory City.

A corridor on the ground floor of a deep black suspended building. The demonic plant and flower patterns on the carpet change from time to time, swallowing the sound of footsteps. Sparse light flickers or goes out on both sides, and golden patterns on the marble floor surge and shine with a mysterious radiance whenever light sweeps across them.

Every few steps, portraits and mirrors alternate on the walls.

This is the most central area of the Purgatory Corridor Academy, near the Inverted Mirror Corridor, the base structure supporting the corridor building.

"Lanchi, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Talia's telepathic voice sounded in Lanchi's ear.

She had returned to Lanchi early this morning.

Sigrid was still asleep in the living quarters that Lisandra had arranged for them in the Purgatory Corridor Academy's rest area. Hyperion was also still asleep, having been sent back to the living quarters by Cat Boss using psychokinetic magic.

Only Lanchi woke up the earliest.

After sleeping for less than four hours, he was already preparing for the next day's work.

Talia, however, was used to getting up early.

A little worried about Lanchi, she had followed him.

As Lanchi's Natal Card, she could stay by his side without hindrance during any of Lanchi's adventures. Even in the Shadow World, this magic card bound to his soul could be brought in.

"It's okay. There are only five days left in the Purgatory Corridor. I'm afraid there are still important things to do. I want to finish the important things first, before they become urgent."

Lanchi recited the school motto in his heart.

At this moment, a palm-sized gray kitten was in his coat pocket, and he was carrying a multi-layer bento box in his hand.

The material was made of high-quality cherry wood, with clear and natural wood grain. It had been polished and painted with traditional demonic craftsmanship and insulated with magic. The top lid fit tightly with the box body, divided into four layers, each layer with a moderate capacity, which could hold dishes, side dishes, and desserts separately.

Today, he might have to stay in the central area of the school for most of the day, and it was too far from the teaching area and rest area, so Lanchi simply brought today's lunch in advance from the Demon King's Personally-Bestowed Restaurant.

"Okay, but you still have to pay attention to rest."

Talia instructed.

Now she and Lanchi were in a state equivalent to two souls in one body. Lanchi's body was also her body, and it was important to take care of this body.

"Understood, Tata Mama."

Lanchi answered concisely, like dealing with his mother.

To continue the Shadow World experience, he would undoubtedly have to follow the subsequent steps of Mission Objective One and find the gift that Kaliella had left in the Purgatory Corridor.

His figure stopped in front of a forbidden door.

This was a shortcut to enter the negative first floor of the corridor. The ancient demonic runes engraved on the door prevented ordinary demons from passing through this checkpoint to the Inverted Mirror Corridor.

The Purgatory Corridor Academy, built above Purgatory, was directly connected to the Purgatory lands below. The Inverted Mirror Corridor was the magical pillar structure that connected the upper Corridor Academy to Purgatory. It could conduct and absorb energy from Purgatory, giving the Purgatory Corridor Academy an inexhaustible source of energy.

Because the depths of Purgatory connected by the Inverted Mirror Corridor were the core of the entire Purgatory Corridor Academy, even the successive principals were not allowed to enter. Only by obtaining the highest-level permission from the Demon King's City was it possible to open the door to the Inverted Mirror Corridor.

Recently, faculty members and students had been losing consciousness near the Inverted Mirror Corridor, so the area around the Inverted Mirror Corridor had also been sealed off.

In fact, this was Kaliella's magic. Without resistance to the Falling Dreamland, it was easy to fall asleep unconsciously when walking nearby.

Lanchi pushed gently, and a roar echoed between the Inverted Mirror Corridors, and a scent of candles wafted over him.

Stepping into the grand transition corridor, he saw only towering, multi-meter-high inverted statues standing like a black forest on both sides of the passage, and silver light and shadows lit up in response.

Lanchi looked down at the gray kitten in his pocket.

Since he had taken it back from Lisandra this morning, it had remained silent.

It wouldn't make a sound whether he spoke to it in demonic languages or meows.

At this moment, Tamisa was also looking at the scenery of the surrounding corridor.

It seemed that it was not affected by the magic of the Falling Dreamland either.

Perhaps sensing Kaliella's familiar magic, the gray kitten was even curious about where this place was.

When they walked into this peculiar corridor, countless twinkling and refracting light grids first came into view.

The walls, floors, and ceilings were densely inlaid with prisms of different shapes and sizes, and the temperature dropped several degrees compared to the outside.

They were as crystal clear as diamonds, some with milky white or light-colored tones, and the surrounding air was filled with a slight rainbow frost mist. The light from the lamps was refracted and reflected by the prisms, scattering into psychedelic beams.

As they walked forward, with the changes in the angle of light, the light and shadows also slowly flowed and changed, sometimes converging and sometimes dispersing, falling on the smooth stone-paved ground, making them seem to be stepping on a river of stars.

This corridor was winding and winding, with no end in sight. Arches and alcoves appeared from time to time on both sides, with distinct visual levels. They briefly stopped to admire this magical Inverted Mirror Corridor, feeling the illusion of time and space being infinitely stretched, as if they had stepped into another dimension.

"This corridor doesn't seem to welcome me. I can't sense the direction."

Lanchi stopped, not entirely out of appreciation, but because he felt like he had gone in a circle.

Whether it was space or time, they seemed non-existent in the Inverted Mirror Corridor. Getting lost was not a physical loss, but rather being trapped in the cycle of this Mirror Corridor.

Although Lanchi was impressed by the masterpiece of the ancient demonic craftsman, Tiberius the Inverted Lord, his immediate priority was to quickly pass through this Inverted Mirror Corridor and reach the place where Kaliella's magic was strongest, which was the legendary central energy chamber of the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

According to the background of the Shadow World, the Kaliella magic on his body was probably left by Kaliella many years ago, while the permissions here were recently set by Kaliella, so it was normal for the key not to match.

Lanchi looked down at the kitten in his pocket.

As a gifted one with Kaliella's magic, if the key wasn't with him, it could only be with the little gray cat.

Lanchi couldn't figure out for the time being why Kaliella had guided the little gray cat to meet him.

But based on Kaliella's reliability...

The use of this little gray cat was likely not just as simple as opening the door at this moment.

"Tamisa, can you sense which direction we should go?"

Lanchi asked the little gray cat softly.

"..."

Tamisa glanced at him but did not reply.

This fellow tribesman of Kaliella was probably the demon who saved her yesterday.

She could probably guess what treasures Kaliella had left here, and that this illusion demon wanted them very much.

Since Kaliella had given the key to her, and not to this illusion demon personally, it meant that Kaliella wanted her to decide whether to open it or not.

"This little guy doesn't seem to trust you very much. She's observing you."

Talia told Lanchi in her heart.

Actually, it wasn't necessarily distrust, but just that the little gray cat didn't know Lanchi at all.

After all, the little gray cat and Lanchi had only known each other for a few hours, and now she had to help Lanchi open the treasures left by Kaliella.

"This is just like a little gray cat I met while feeding cats by the city wall of South Vantina Territory. When I first met her, she was also very wary and had a rather indifferent attitude. She looked like she would be very difficult to tame."

Lanchi recalled the past and muttered to himself.

Talia also thought about it.

South Vantina Territory, city walls, very wary, indifferent attitude...

"Are you talking about me? You're the gray cat, your whole family is gray cats!"

Talia instantly understood who the gray cat Lanchi was talking about and retorted to Lanchi.

So, the cat he mentioned feeding by the city walls back then included her too!

"So if it were you, how would I quickly gain your trust?"

Lanchi sought an answer from Talia.

Tamisa was a bit autistic. She never spoke.

No matter how he communicated with her, it was useless.

Even though Hyperion had become much closer to her along the way, she wouldn't say a single word to Hyperion.

"Well... there's no way to speedrun this. But if you spend time with her, maybe after a long time, she will open her heart to you... But isn't it just about gaining the trust of this little gray cat in front of you? I'll help you with that."

After Talia finished speaking, she appeared with extraordinary confidence.

The fairy-like gray-haired demon girl landed in this corridor.

"Tamisa, I'm here."

She bent down and said softly to the gray kitten in Lanchi's coat pocket.

Now that Kaliella herself had appeared, the problem would be easily solved.

"..."

The little gray cat stared at Talia, seeming very puzzled.

She seemed to have seen Kaliella yesterday.

But that Kaliella was surprisingly weak and couldn't even beat Melogas.

"Why don't we eat something first? Otherwise, if we fall asleep in the Inverted Mirror Corridor later, we might be hungry for a long time."

Talia's gaze turned to the four-layer lunch box that Lanchi was holding.

Although she didn't recognize the specific names of the dishes, Lanchi had ordered charcoal-grilled potato balls and smoked eel, with sauces probably similar to smoked onion sauce and eel clear soup, garnished with refreshing dill.

There was also a dark chocolate soufflé, a fluffy and warm dark chocolate soufflé, with ice crystal-shaped custard sauce, the taste must be alternating between hot and cold, rich and light.

Just thinking about it made Talia swallow her saliva.

Last night, when Talia took Sigrid to the Demon King's Personally-Bestowed Restaurant for supper, these limited dishes were already sold out. They were new today.

She wondered what kind of mental interference effect the area superimposed with the magic power of the Inverted Lord and the Falling Lord would have.

Lanchi could probably withstand it.

Tamisa might not be able to.

If you want to get along with children, good food is always a constant good strategy.

"..."

The little gray cat turned her head away in disappointment.

Her approval rating had dropped.

She could tell at a glance that this was a fake Kaliella.

Although this fake Kaliella didn't seem bad, she hated demons who wanted to take care of her with inexplicable good intentions. She didn't need the pity of other demons. She could live well on her own and wasn't lonely at all.

"Uh..."

Talia looked up at Lanchi in astonishment.

Lanchi spread out his hands.

As a child raised by Kaliella in the past three years, Tamisa might have a more unique way to sense Kaliella. Even if Talia and Kaliella were alike now, Tamisa could still see the essential difference.

"Sorry, Lanchi..."

Talia was a little dejected and felt defeated.

She seemed to have been a hindrance.

Only Hyperion and Sigrid had been separated from Kaliella for too long, so they could be completely confused even with some flaws. But for Tamisa, who had been by Kaliella's side recently, this wouldn't work.

"It's okay, Master, leave it to me."

Lanchi comforted Talia.

After Talia's attempt, he understood a bit how to get along with Tamisa.

"Okay, good luck."

Talia lowered her head, unwilling to meet Lanchi's eyes, nodded, disappeared on the spot, and returned to Lanchi's body.

When she was happy, Lanchi liked to say hateful things, but when she was down, Lanchi would be very gentle.

It made her afraid to look Lanchi in the eyes.

She didn't understand why she was like this.

Lanchi sat down on the ground of the Inverted Mirror Corridor without saying a word, and placed the lunch box beside his hand.

The gray kitten in his pocket also jumped to the ground, only a hair's breadth away.

She looked at this Illusion Demon with confusion.

"I'm really sleepy and tired. Tamisa, would you wait here for me to rest for a while?"

Lanchi leaned against the mirror, tilted his head, and asked the little gray cat.

His eyes were full of fatigue. The spirit that had just been forcibly boosted was now exhausted from circling the corridor, and sleepiness naturally came over him.

Tamisa still didn't respond to him, just looked at him.

Lanchi took it as if the little gray cat had agreed.

The cold air permeated the icy corridor.

And Lanchi just fell down like that.

He fell asleep.

The little gray cat lay beside him.

Watching him really lying stiff.

Motionless.

Like a frozen corpse.

She hesitated for a while, stretched out her paw rather slowly, and probed between his nostrils.

After confirming that he was still alive, she was temporarily relieved.

This illusion demon was probably really tired, so he could fall into a deep sleep in such a short time.

Seeing that he seemed to be shivering a little from the cold.

Tamisa hesitated for another half a minute and jumped onto his chest and lay down.

For the time being, she was considered a warm little fluff ball, which could prevent him from catching a cold.

Just consider it as a thank you for lending a helping hand yesterday.

"..."

Although Lanchi had fallen asleep, Talia remained conscious.

Talia didn't know how sleepy Lanchi was. He was really asleep.

Anyway, Lanchi's willpower was already superhuman.

Before, in Flower Capital, if she moved a little, he would have to sleep for a long time. Now, in the Shadow World, she had a big battle with the Profane Lord, and Lanchi actually started working again after sleeping for a few hours.

Until Lanchi had been dozing for more than ten minutes.

"Huff."

He regained consciousness, seemed a little more energetic, and propped himself up on the ground.

And Tamisa also jumped off him nimbly.

She started to alienate him again.

"Thank you, Tamisa."

Lanchi realized what the warmth on his chest was just now and thanked Tamisa.

Tamisa still didn't reply.

"I'm so hungry, but I seem to have caught a cold and have no strength."

Lanchi slumped against the wall, half-drooping his eyelids, and his whole person seemed to relax.

"Tamisa, you go find Sister Hyperion. I'm afraid I can't take care of you."

He was about to fall asleep again.

"..."

The little gray cat was at a loss for a long time again.

She looked at the glamorous appearance of this Illusion Demon in front of other demons, and the loneliness and fragility when he was alone, empty and tired, hiding here alone in a mess.

She always felt a kind of inexplicable emotion in her heart.

It was like seeing herself.

The reason why she was willing to approach him just now might also be because of this reason.

Tens of seconds later.

The motionless little gray cat burst out with a bewitching halo, and when she reappeared, she had become a gray-haired figure.

That petite figure stood quietly.

Tamisa looked about three or four years old after transforming, with fair and translucent skin, like a carefully carved porcelain doll, but her eyes appeared indifferent and distant.

The demon girl was wearing a fluffy cloth skirt. Although she had a porcelain doll-like exquisite cuteness, making people unable to resist wanting to approach her, they didn't dare to disturb her thoughts easily.

She didn't know psychokinetic magic yet, so she couldn't use her cat paws to get him food.

So she could only change back to a form that was easier to move around in.

Tamisa squatted aside, opened the lunch box, took out the boxed food, scooped a little with the utensils, and put it to Lanchi's mouth.

"Tamisa..."

Lanchi looked at Tamisa's feeding with slight surprise, but still gratefully opened his mouth and let Tamisa feed him.

Talia: "??"

No way, Lanchi, you actually called a child to take care of you?

She was stunned.

She thought Lanchi was really tired when she saw him lying stiff just now and was ready to give up.

She didn't expect him to be arousing Tamisa's sympathy.

"These children are very competitive. The more you treat her like a child, the less she will listen to you. On the contrary, if you treat yourself like a child and treat her like an adult, she will be willing to interact with you."

Lanchi explained to Talia.

Tamisa had been lonely since she was a child, so she didn't like being taken care of by others and wouldn't easily trust others.

But she often took care of herself, so she knew everything.

As long as she felt that there was a kindred spirit in front of her and saw her own shadow, she would have a chance to put down her guard and approach.

"It seems you have some experience in raising children. We can exchange ideas if we have the opportunity in the future."

Talia suddenly discovered that she and Lanchi actually had a rare common topic.

"Of course, the Proto Empire of the Northern Continent has evaluated me as the emperor of the education world."

Lanchi was still particularly confident in this.

He didn't expect that he and Talia would have such a common hobby.

It just so happened that they had never talked about it before.

Lanchi stopped chatting with Talia and focused his attention on Tamisa in front of him.

"Thank you, Tamisa."

Lanchi thanked her, as if seeing an old friend.

The Tamisa who had turned back into human form had both the lonely aura of the Mist Lord and the shadow of the gentle facial features of the Midnight Lord. It was clear at a glance that she was their child.

"Do you know my parents?"

Tamisa finally spoke for the first time and asked Lanchi a question.

"How did you know?"

Lanchi chewed on the food while asking her back.

"Your eyes betrayed you when you saw me just now."

Tamisa replied.

She patiently waited for him to finish chewing and put a new spoonful to his mouth.

"Your parents are both very good friends of mine. They are quite remarkable great demons."

Lanchi said sincerely to Tamisa.

If there were no demons like the Mist Lord and the Midnight Lord, there would be no peace today. The end of the Blood Moon Calamity was all gathered by a little sacrifice, flowing endlessly like time. These raindrops gathered together, becoming streams, rivers, and lakes, reaching the sky and even the distance.

"What's so remarkable about them? They still abandoned me and my sister and left."

Tamisa muttered to herself as a matter of course.

She seemed to harbor resentment towards the Mist Lord and the Midnight Lord.

"..."

Lanchi, who was still chewing on the food, suddenly stopped, and his eyes became confused.

He leaned against the wall a little lost in thought.

"Lanchi..."

Talia understood that this was what the Falling Lord Kaliella would do. Kaliella wouldn't tell Tamisa that her parents were already dead.

Kaliella would only tell Tamisa that her parents had gone on a long journey.

Tamisa naively believed it and regarded her resentment and mixed feelings of love and hate for her parents as the motivation for her to look forward to seeing them every day.

Lanchi heard these innocent and pure words from Tamisa's mouth.

Talia couldn't analyze how Lanchi would feel in his heart at this moment.

Next.

Until Tamisa handed the spoon to Lanchi's mouth again, Lanchi's eyes regained a bit of light, and he opened his mouth.

The small demonic figure in the corridor fed the seated large demonic figure. They didn't speak to each other again.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

After Lanchi finished eating, he tilted his head and looked at Tamisa.

"..."

Tamisa nodded and packed up the lunch box.

Like a gray-haired demonic porcelain doll, she waited for him quietly.

"Tamisa, actually, I'm a terrible sense of direction. Can you trouble you to explore this corridor with me?"

Lanchi leaned against the wall, stood up, and asked Tamisa again.

"You're really enough, Lanchi."

Talia was originally concerned about Lanchi's mood, but when she heard him coaxing the child, she was relieved.

From eight-hundred-year-old great demons to three-year-old little demons, he used all the tricks.

This guy's heart was outstandingly tenacious, and he was always an optimist.

"Follow me."

Tamisa grabbed Lanchi's four fingers and walked forward.

Small hands holding big hands.

Whenever they walked by, the prisms would reflect several figures of Lanchi and Tamisa, like a kaleidoscope.

The prisms on both sides of the corridor had never appeared repeated, and the ground was getting steeper and steeper.

Accompanied by a subtle sense of rising and falling, there were stairs inlaid with magic crystals every few meters. After stepping through all the steps and turns, the sound finally completely disappeared and was isolated, revealing a new space.

The door in front of them, several meters high, was made of ancient anti-magic steel, with countless layers of curses attached to the outside, lighting up and extinguishing regularly like breathing.

The moment Tamisa led Lanchi to the door.

The light on the door suddenly became dazzling.

Then it turned into countless gears, flying and circling in mid-air. Finally, the gorgeous starlight dissipated into the thick darkness.

The door to the deepest part of the Purgatory Corridor Academy was opened.

"It feels like this is the bottom of Purgatory."

Talia telepathically communicated with Lanchi.

Because the space in the Inverted Mirror Corridor was intricate and complex, she couldn't tell how many meters underground it was now, but it was likely to be the depths of Purgatory.

"This should be the central room, which can directly take over the energy of the Purgatory Corridor Academy."

Lanchi hadn't been able to come here the last time he was acting principal.

It wasn't until he became the real principal that he had the honor to see the hidden room of the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

This feeling was like the final map being hidden in the depths of the initial map. Only at the end of the story could he return here and open it.

While thinking, Lanchi was led by Tamisa through the layers of barriers and anti-magic steel protection doors and stepped into the depths of the central room.

The roar of heavy machinery and the hum of magic energy lines constituted the only sounds inside the central room.

The strength of the surrounding barrier had reached the ninth level.

Even the Profane Lord Melogas had no hope of forcibly breaking into this forbidden area.

And the one who laid down this barrier was obviously not Kaliella, but the earlier great demon, Tiberius the Inverted Lord.

"Do you want to continue forward?"

Tamisa suddenly stopped and turned her head to ask Lanchi with her childish voice.

In front of them was a black waterfall-like door.

The road ahead was full of unknowns.

"Yes, Tamisa, can you wait by my side for a while? I will probably leave later."

Lanchi stared at the small figure and answered.

Hearing this, Tamisa walked towards the automatically opened black waterfall illusion door.

Silence continued in the streamlined passage and illusion corridor inside the central room. After walking a long way, when the light reappeared, they were standing in a circular enclosed space.

This was a transparent little room as if wrapped in the eternal night starry sky, and only sparse starlight around them brought enough light to see the scene in front of them.

They saw that the true space on the inner side of this central room was like two different worlds from the outside.

The psychedelic walls swallowed most of the light and echoes, and not even a trace of breathing could be found.

There was only that oppressive silence and the bottomless starry sky.

In the center of the room, several pillar-like anti-magic steel connected to a semi-transparent barrier, and the demonic magic runes on the steel pillars flickered with faint blue light spots.

In the center of the anti-magic steel, a mirror-shaped mechanical magic guide was bound by layers of magic chains.

It was like a mirror, but it was in the shape of a six-sided cube.

The space in each mirror surface was distorted, as if countless distorted souls were circling, and several layers of barriers flowed around the mirror, appearing and disappearing.

Just one glance.

Was enough to determine that it was an ultra-standard magic guide.

A forbidden object that could overturn the common sense of the world.

"Lanchi, wait."

Talia stopped Lanchi in the first moment.

Lanchi also grabbed Tamisa's hand, not letting her get any closer.

Lanchi's green eyes began to flash with a trace of gold, and magic was operating within them. Talia tried hard to identify this magic guide.

【Mirror of Tiberius】
【Category: Magic Guide】
【Grade: Red Legend (Damaged)】
【Attribute: Divination/Illusion】
【Tier: 9】
【Effect: Each consumption of a soul imprint of a ninth-tier Great Demon can be used to start it once, to transform the future of oneself in the current timeline, and there is a probability of instant death when paying the activation cost. Since the magic guide is damaged, it needs to use the energy of the Purgatory Land and the Ancestral Land of the Demon Race to start.】
【Current Usable Times: 3.】
【Note: For you who know nothing about the meaning of eternity, it is time to reveal the answer to you. Go to the spiral that extends towards the dream and bet everything on me...】

The results of Talia's slow identification were also shared to Lanchi's mind.

His expression gradually became surprised.

Legendary-level magic guides, he had only seen it once before in Parieux of Flower Capital, which was the magic guide book called 【Hate Record of Palroni】.

He didn't expect that in this Shadow World of tens of thousands of years ago, he would see a red legendary-level item again.

Lanchi stared carefully at this 【Mirror of Tiberius】.

Tiberius was the demonic craftsman who built the Purgatory Corridor Academy, the name of the Inverted Lord.

And this magic guide hidden in the deepest part of the Purgatory Corridor seemed to be the supreme masterpiece left by Tiberius the Inverted Lord after exhausting his life.

"What the hell is this magic guide."

Talia had never heard of this level of divination-type magic guide in her time.

Without even talking about the conditions of use, just the negative effect of "instant death" made Talia not want to consider touching this magic guide at all.

Every broken soul imprint would cause irreparable trauma to oneself. Even a ninth-tier Great Demon might fall into extreme weakness in the short term, and their subsequent strength would be permanently damaged.

The price of predicting the future was to gamble with fate and bet on one's soul.

"It fits the trial of the Inverted Lord, doesn't it?"

Lanchi clearly remembered that the trial of the Great Demon on the negative sixth floor of Hellhomer Prison, the Inverted Path to the Afterlife, was to cross life and death and pass without fear of death.

The Inverted Lord would not favor cowards. On the contrary, he only appreciated creatures who dared to bet their lives.

"But its activation cost has been paid so many times?"

Talia noticed that the magic guide could be activated three times seemingly without having to pay the cost.

That was to say, someone had sacrificed three Great Demon Imprints and gambled three lives before they came and won three activation opportunities.

"..."

Lanchi didn't speak.

The answer was obvious as to who could help him pay for the ninth-tier Great Demon Imprint.

"..."

"Before Kaliella died, she used it once herself, and then left the remaining three opportunities to you...?"

Listening to Lanchi's inner voice, Talia realized the truth and calculated that that was probably the case.

Kaliella was a Seven-Imprint Great Demon. She had to leave three imprints for future generations of demons to leave a new Great Demon trial inheritance. To maintain the identity of a Great Demon, she had to keep at least three imprints.

But she was no longer afraid of death, and even her soul had long been given to a friend.

In her last moment, she dedicated all that was left of her life to fill the 【Mirror of Tiberius】 four times, and then died completely, turning into a Falling Dreamland.

"I think so."

Lanchi's voice was flat and inorganic.

Talia, who lived in his heart, couldn't read his thoughts either.

"What did Kaliella see?"

Talia was still very puzzled.

Kaliella should have already seen the possible ending of Lankloth.

Even so, Kaliella also gave the opportunity to Lankloth.

She didn't make a choice for him.

"You'll know by looking in the Mirror of Tiberius."

Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled innocently as he looked at the mirror in front of him.

He was also very curious about why all this was.

For what.

"Tamisa, can you just wait here for me? Don't get close to this mirror. There are three layers of the lunch box that haven't been touched yet. You can eat them all and don't worry about me."

Lanchi squatted down and said to Tamisa in a gentle tone.

"Okay."

Tamisa nodded,

"Be careful along the way."

She seemed to see something and said to him.

"See you later."

Lanchi waved his hand to Tamisa with peace of mind.

He turned and walked towards the abyss-like deep purple mirror magic guide.

The air at the edge of the mirror surface rippled slightly due to the void's power, and magic began to dance lightly on the calm mirror surface.

When Lanchi raised his hand and touched the mirror surface, he gradually discovered that this mirror surface could be passed through. He moved forward slightly, and his figure stepped towards the mirror surface, eventually completely integrating into the void surrounded by deep purple light.

In an instant, Lanchi and Talia both felt as if they were falling rapidly from the sea of stars, experiencing the wonderful feeling of weightlessness. The light and colors that appeared from time to time were intertwined, forming distorted scenes.

Until the speed of falling began to slow down and turn into rising, the pressure on his body gradually increased, and dazzling white light burst out from the exit, instantly enveloping them.

"!"

Whether his consciousness began to accelerate sharply or all the white light poured towards him, everything eventually evolved into understandable character information pouring into his mind.

After this text poured into his mind.

Lanchi only felt a burst of dizziness.

He covered his forehead and shook his head violently.

When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was already sitting in the principal's office of the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

"Where is this..."

His gaze swept over the scenery outside the window in surprise. The biting cold wind carried sporadic snowflakes, rising arbitrarily in the sky of Demon World Pascual. In the gap, the morning light shone into the principal's office like a plain white gauze curtain.

The outline of Purgatory City looked hazy and mysterious under the shroud of morning mist.

The desk, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the dark brown decor were still so familiar.

But what attracted his attention wasn't the furniture in this principal's office.

But rather, the silver-white masked face reflected on the window glass not far away. The mask was welded onto his face like a brand, and only those clear, cold emerald green eyes were clearly visible through the mask.

He raised his hand to stroke the mask.

The figure on the glass made the same movement.

The legendary magic guide 【Mirror of Tiberius】 seemed to have never existed.

He had returned to the principal's office.

Or perhaps this was the simulated illusion created by the 【Mirror of Tiberius】.

He would experience the future in this illusion.

The next second, brand new semi-transparent demonic characters also began to appear in his vision—

【Saint Poland Theocracy, December 25, 614.】
【Twelve years after the Northern Poland Empire went to war, the dictatorial regime of the Southern Honing Empire completely collapsed, and the Seville Continent ushered in the dawn of peace again.】
【You, with your selfless actions and efforts, exchanged for the last glory of the Poland Empire and also for the turning point in the fate of the people. The determination of the entire Poland Empire to resist turned the tide of defeat in the northern continent. The empire began to perform the last elegy and the last performance, the last stubbornness, and the last glory. You achieved victory.】
【In the blink of an eye, the Seville Land Peace and Rejuvenation Fourth Anniversary will be held in the Oberon Iron Fortress headquarters in two weeks.】
【People celebrate and cheer for the hard-won peace, adhering to the imagination of happiness and looking forward to the coming prosperous age.】
【You have walked a long way. Even if the fate of the past is not known to people, you don't care at all, and gradually fall deeper and deeper into the quiet embrace and dreamland.】
【……】
【You felt the coming of destiny in the Purgatory Corridor Academy and woke up.】
【It's probably just these last few days, and your life is about to come to an end.】
【Whenever I think of the ending of the story, I think of the beginning.】
