Do not confiscate my citizenship

Chapter 787 Ranchi's Second Round
The pain of death spread throughout Lanqi's body, and his consciousness almost broke apart.

Even if it was just a simulation in the spiritual world, he felt as if he had experienced a fierce battle at this moment. Not only did he experience the real defeat with no body left, but also the unforgettable emotions.

The moment he walked out of the Mirror of Tiberius, he staggered slightly and couldn't even stand steadily.

White light filled the air, and Talia appeared instantly, holding Lanqi in front of her and preventing him from falling.

This is the central energy room deep underground in the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

"Lan Qi, are you okay?"

Talia now regretted not stopping Lanci from entering the Mirror of Tiberius.

Any legendary prop is probably not a good thing.

She witnessed with her own eyes the entire process of Pope Saint Polante's defeat, including his immortal glass body being shattered, being besieged by despair, being cut in half, and having his body dismembered in public.

Now they are back in the Shadow World.

Talia pays attention to the information of Shadow World as soon as possible.

[Mission Objective 1: Read the letter from old friend Kaliela; go to the demon world purgatory city Pascual & protect the little spark left by Kaliela; comprehend the Mirror of Tiberius. (Completed)]

[Mission Objective 2: Understand the state of mind of Lanclos of the Black Sun: 19.53%. (Completed)]

【任务目标3：挑战者全员生存至21天时限结束，剩余时间5天11小时09分。】

Talia was frightened to see Lanqi's understanding of Lord Black Sun increase sharply.

One experience with the Mirror of Tiberius brought Lanci much closer to the Black Sun, and even then it was only 20%?

Talia looked at the magic cube mirror behind Ranci, and she was already filled with fear.

"good."

Lanqi's eyes still had the confusion of someone who had just woken up.

He did not try to be brave, but with the support of Talia, he sat on the steps in front of the Mirror of Tiberius.

"Lanqi, do you want to continue looking in the Mirror of Tiberius?"

Although Talia knew that she couldn't persuade Lanqi to stop, her concern made her speak.

It was not just an illusion, but a projection of the future that allowed Lanqi to experience it almost personally.

She also sat next to Lanqi.

"Do we both have the option of stopping, every time?"

Lanqi turned his head and asked Talia.

"really……"

Talia understood that every time she hesitated, Lanqi would be resolute, and every time Lanqi hesitated, she would be resolute.

So since the first time they participated in the game at the Golden Bee Amusement Park, the two of them seemed to be competing with each other and would never stop, and would stick with each other to the end no matter what happened.

"Then let's have a beginning and an end, but if you're in a bad mood, don't ignore me, okay?"

Talia put her hand on the back of Lanqi's hand, trying to warm his cold hand.

Earlier, at the end of the Mirror of Tiberius, she had seen Lanci like that and she was worried.

"Master, is this something you would say?"

Lanqi stared at Talia in surprise and asked her.

How come the master has become like a little girl?

Talia seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to touch Lanqi, and she withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

after awhile.

"Haha, the more you want me to scold you, the more I won't. I'll let you see how gentle I am."

Talia met Lanci's gaze calmly and smiled brightly at him.

She didn't seem to be hiding anything.

Ifatia said that only the sense of contrast can make a man unable to forget you.

"..."

Lanqi felt that he had to have a good talk with Ifatia after returning to the human world.

She taught her sister some strange things.

Now Lanci didn't dare to tell Hyperion that he had found Miss Ifatia. He was afraid that Ifatia would call him "brother" when they met, and the mother and daughter would not be able to get along in the future.

"Do you think that your desire to talk to Ifatia is very similar to the attitude of a brother towards his sister?"

Talia asked coldly while sitting nearby.

She could actually hear Lanqi's thoughts clearly.

"?"

Lanqi listened to Talia's rare complaints, his expression full of question marks.

"Actually, she's a good sister, just accept her."

Talia spoke to herself calmly without any instigation.

"No, I will make sure to clarify the issue of seniority with Miss Ifatia next time we meet."

Lanqi said seriously.

"Ifatia, do you think this glass of water will come to my hand by itself?"

Talia imitated Lanci's tone and dubbed for him.

She felt that this was how Lanqi should teach about seniority.

"How could anyone talk to a classmate's mother like that?"

Lanqi was made to laugh and cry by Talia, and said with his hands covering his face.

He wanted to raise Ifatia's generation, not lower her.

The two chatted briefly, and Lanqi's face regained a lot of its spirit.

Several days passed in the rapid simulation inside the Mirror of Tiberius, while only about two hours passed outside the mirror.

On one side of the energy center room of the Purgatory Corridor Academy, a small figure noticed the changes in the cubic mirror, walked around half a circle, and saw Lanci and the fake Kaliela sitting on the steps.

"You're back."

Tamisa looked at Lanqi from a distance and welcomed him.

Although she may be welcoming, it sounds like a declarative statement because she has no tone.

Originally, she didn't intend to say anything, but seeing that this phantom demon was in a very bad condition after walking out of the six-sided cube magic mirror, as if he had died once, she became a little worried.

She didn't want the phantom demon that she had saved with great difficulty to die.

Lanqi signaled to Talia with his eyes that he would go and explain to Tamisa. Talia also understood and disappeared from the spot into pure white light.

He stood up from the steps and walked over to Tamisa.

"Tamisha, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Lanqi squatted down and looked at Tamisa straight in the eye.

"Would you like something to eat? I left a lot for you."

Tamisa pointed to the four-layer lunch box lying nearby.

She only ate one box herself, and left the other two boxes for the phantom's lunch.

"No, you already fed me well in the corridor. Thanks to your care, I am alive."

Lanci said to Tamisa with a smile.

"..."

Tamisa was slightly stunned. She rarely received such words of thanks and didn't know how to respond.

"Then I'll feed you if you're hungry. You have to eat well, or you'll fall down again."

That was all she could say.

"Then you have to promise me that I will stay here for a while and you have to eat well at noon, otherwise your teachings will not be convincing, and I won't feel like eating well either."

Ranchi answered her.

He pointed at the lunch box, meaning that Tamisa might need another box to fill her stomach at noon.

"Ah."

Tamisa nodded.

After the words fell.

Lanqi turned and walked towards the abyss-like dark purple mirror magic device behind him.

"Lanqi, you have established a good relationship with her. She is willing to face you in her true form."

Thalia said in Lanci's mind.

Lanqi's mentality is so good. He just went through such a real experience and after coming out he can still speak softly to the children.

This is completely different from the kind of adults who give children a cold shoulder when they get angry.

It seems that he is indeed a good teacher and will be a good father in the future.

"Tamisha was originally a good kid, with the toughness of her father and the softness of her mother."

Lanqi said regretfully.

Whenever he saw Tamisa, he would think of Lord Misty, who looked cool and handsome but was actually naive, and Lord Zhenye, a talented demon girl who always hid herself but worked very hard.

"I think Tamisa is cute, too."

Talia agreed.

Tamisa is literally a little Talia.

"Pfft."

Lanci almost laughed out loud.

Unless Talia could also turn into a little gray cat, he might agree with Talia's statement.

"You're dreaming! Even if I die of starvation outside Boss Cat's restaurant, I will never become a little gray cat!"

Talia made a warning statement to Lanci.

Lanqi has had this thought more than once, but she would never turn into a little gray cat for Lanqi to pet!
After a brief moment, Lanci walked back to the Mirror of Tiberius on the steps.

The air at the edge of the mirror began to ripple due to the slight ripples of the power of the void, and magic began to dance gently on the calm mirror surface.

Lanqi raised his hand to the mirror, and he moved forward slightly, and his figure stepped towards the mirror, merging into the void surrounded by deep purple light. Then, Lanqi once again felt that he was falling rapidly from the sea of ​​stars, and from time to time, light and colors appeared intertwined.

Until the falling speed began to slow down, gravity suddenly pressed on him, and a dazzling white light burst out from the exit and rushed towards him in an instant.

Everything evolved into understandable characters and information poured into his mind.

[Inverted Future Fantasy]

[Enabled successfully]

[Number of uses remaining: 1]

[Name: Lanclos Saint Anastasius]

[Current status: Ninth level]

[Attribute: Seal/Light]

[Spells: Eternal Punishment of Immortality, Chimeric Edict, Radiant Corona, Eternal Destruction, Indestructible Glazed Body... The last land of peace.]

[Accessories: Horning Empire Test Field Military Badge, Loser's Broken Blade, Ringless Ring, Traveler's Pocket Watch, Witch's Warm Companionship, Gretel Stone Badge... Saint Polante's Silver Mask. ]

[Character attributes have been entered]

[Divination result: Death is approaching]

[Departure point: Demon Realm, Purgatory City Pascual, Suburbs, Purgatory Corridor Academy]

[Life remaining: 5 days, 11 hours, 06 minutes]

After this text came into my mind.

Lanqi's dizziness was not as strong as the last time.

He closed his eyes calmly and took in his surroundings.

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

The biting cold wind outside the window was still carrying sporadic snowflakes, rising wildly in the sky of Pascual in the demon world. The white and golden midday sun shone into the principal's office.

It looked like noon in Purgatory.

Instead, the face wearing the silver-white mask was still reflected on the window glass not far away. The mask was welded to his face like a brand, and the cold emerald green eyes were clearly visible through the mask.

Just like the last time, after entering the Mirror of Tiberius, he returned to the principal's office.

The next second, translucent demon characters began to appear in the field of vision—

[December 614, 12, in the Theocracy of Saint Paulant. 】

【…】

[You felt your destiny coming at the Purgatory Corridor Academy and woke up.]

[Probably in these last few days, your life should almost come to an end. 】

[You just discovered through your prophetic dream that the current peace is just an illusion. The blood race still has not repented. They are planning a bigger conspiracy in the Horning Empire. Everything is just to wait for your death so that they can start a counterattack. And they seem to have predicted all this and know when you will die and when you will start to weaken.]

[You finally understand how Kaliela died.]

[She had seen everything with her precognitive dreams before you. ]

[But you still don't understand why she saw everything but didn't tell you directly, but let you choose whether to reveal the truth. ]

【Is there something you haven't seen? 】

[You can't help but wonder, but you have already made up your mind. In this dream, you will definitely solve all the mysteries. ]

When Lanqi saw this, he found that the information stopped, and four options appeared.

You will choose:

A. Immortality and Eternal Punishment

[B. Go to the Demon King's Castle]

【C. Return to the Church】

[D. Personal intervention]

Lanqi placed his hands on the desk, clasped his fingers together, and looked at the similarities and differences this time.

This simulation started on the premise that Lanclos had already had the first simulation experience, and the information he held had also changed.

Compared with the previous simulation, this time it was two hours late, and the initial time point was noon.

The simulation start node of the Mirror of Tiberius refers to the real time when the Mirror of Tiberius is activated.

Reality became noon, and the start time of the simulation in the Mirror of Tiberius also became noon.

The two hours of delay also meant that Lanclos was no longer at the extreme state of the ninth level, but had slightly declined.

"The only change in the options is that the original first option, 'Continue to Stay', has been eliminated. This is because after Lanklos learned about the unrest in the Horning Empire in the south, he could no longer stay here."

Lan Qi murmured.

The key is that the "continue to stay" option is replaced by a new option "immortality and eternal punishment".

Among the spells mastered by Lanclos of the Black Sun, the most important one is the epic spell called [Undying Punishment].

The effect is to sacrifice a certain amount of one's own life and mana to continuously lock the target's life state, and the spell cannot be actively released. Excessive attacks on the sealed target will weaken the sealing effect. Using wolf blood or magic blood as a medium can reduce the cost of life or mana.

"This spell doesn't say that it can't be used on oneself... So the first option means to use Eternal Punishment of Undying on oneself immediately to lock one's own life state and prevent oneself from getting weaker?"

Talia understood the significance of this option.

As long as he uses the Eternal Punishment of Immortality on himself, he can avoid falling to the eighth level when arriving at Blood Moon City, thus maintaining a nearly perfect state. At least before his fate is read out, he will be at the ninth level!
"The answer is obvious."

Lanqi was familiar with the experience this time, so he didn't have to think much about the options of the Mirror of Tiberius and was ready to make a choice. His hand had already placed on the first option on the light screen in front of him.

"Wait a minute, Ranch!"

Talia stopped Lanqi.

"what happened?"

Lanqi didn't seem to change his mind and just asked Talia.

"Have you ever thought that Lanclos actually knew this method to lock his state before his death, but without knowing the vampire conspiracy, that is, the scenario in the first simulation, he never considered using immortality and eternal punishment in this way. Do you feel that once you use immortality and eternal punishment on yourself, you may pay a very terrible price, and you don't know what this price is yet?"

Talia thought that Lancros couldn't be stupid.

If eternal punishment of immortality was really that useful, Lanclos should have used it before setting off even if he didn't know what crisis might come.

And this is the Mirror of Tiberius, a masterpiece of demonic legend that transcends common sense.

Even at a cost, it may be simulated realistically for you.

By then, you may face some fears that are so great that even death is not worth mentioning.

"No matter what the price is, I believe that Lanclos will not hesitate at this point even if he knows what will happen."

Lanqi sighed and said to Talia with a helpless smile.

There was no trace of fear in his eyes.

But that's not being brave and fearless.

It's a kind of persistence.

"Okay, then no matter what the cost, I will face it with you."

Talia hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind.

Anyway, she is with Lanqi, so even if they have to face a price, they will bear it together.

"Thank you, Master."

Lanci knew that Talia could have stayed outside and not accompanied him into the Mirror of Tiberius, but she followed him in again without even a second thought.

He was very grateful to Talia.

Then, he determined immortality and eternal punishment.

In an instant, the office in front of him began to be filled with overwhelming black fog and magical power.

The originally stable magical power of the barrier on the office wall began to fluctuate, as if it was being pulled by mysterious rules.

The lights suddenly became dimmer.

Lanci and Talia only saw the enormous magic power gathered in the air, emitting fluctuations similar to those of Lord Black Sun, but even more terrifying, more like the supreme power of the demon world.

The magic power of the black mist gathered and weaved, and even the air began to tremble, until it finally enveloped Lanci, forming a black poisonous snake around him, and finally the lingering black mist suddenly shrank and rushed into his face.

During the whole process, he was protected by an invisible force, and the space around him formed an isolated area.

When the spell engraved in the black mist fell on Lanqi's left cheek, the surrounding magical fluctuations gradually subsided, the light dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

[You don't know yet what the consequences will be if you use eternal punishment of immortality on yourself. ]

【But you used it resolutely. 】

[Because you know, only in this way can you maintain your condition and defeat the several ancestors of Blood Moon City. ]

The demonic writing on the Mirror of Tiberius reappeared.

You will go to:

[A. Naikaris]

【B. St. Trinian】

【C. Hansabecker】

[D. Personal intervention]

[Life remaining: 5 days, 11 hours, 02 minutes]

New options emerge.

"Lan Qi, are you okay?"

Talia asked Lanqi quickly.

Now she couldn't examine Lanqi's body and couldn't help him confirm his condition.

"I don't feel any change, except that my left cheek feels like it's been branded with a sting."

Ranki briefly took off his mask, looked at his reflection, which looked more like a demon, and answered Talia.

In addition, at this moment he no longer saw any signs that he was getting weaker.

He put the mask back on his face, covering the violent spell that was engraved on his cheek like a black centipede. At this moment, he felt the forbidden power within himself that would never wither.

The real invincible mode has begun.
