Chapter 1341 - 88 Zhu Si
Chapter 1341: Chapter 88 Zhu SiZheng Qing took a good while to react before he realized that the mischievous little girl’s name was Zhu Si.
Right after, he grasped the meaning that the little girl has just revealed in her words.
"Do they eat people?" The young cost student looked around nervously: "They... who are they?"
"Spirits in the mirror," the little girl spoke softly: "But I’d rather call them mirror demons, the fairies in the mirror. They like to take on the appearance of others, use others’ voices, talk about others’ affairs... There’s nothing more fake than them in the world! Even more fake than a warlock saying ’I love you’ to a fishwoman!"
This statement didn’t seem like something a girl of seven or eight years old would say.
"Why do they do that?"
"To replace others." Zhu Si’s little face was tightly drawn, looking very serious: "As long as they are fake enough, they can create confusion with their falsehoods, the impostor replacing the crown prince, changing the beams and pillars without notice!"
She knew a whole set of idioms.
The warlock showed a hint of interest on his face and continued to ask:
"How do they eat people, from within the mirror?"
Zhu Si’s face showed a look of disdain: "How can you be so stupid! Can eating people only be done with the mouth? What’s most important about a person? It’s the mind! The soul! They can unknowingly contaminate your mind! Suck away your soul!"
"That’s terrifying," Zheng Qing remarked with a sigh, his gaze moving past the girl’s head, towards the concealed mirrors behind her.
"I always feel that your gaze is very rude," the little girl crossed her arms over her chest, tilting her head back and looking dissatisfied at the tall boy before her.
Zheng Qing was a bit bemused and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
"I thought... I just thought that you were a spirit from the world in the mirror," he explained, spreading his hands.
"Me? A spirit from the world in the mirror?!" The little girl had an ’are you blind?’ expression on her face, pointing around her and drawing a large circle with her finger: "Those guys are the spirits from the world in the mirror... Are there spirits as beautiful, cute, clever, and articulate as me in the mirror? No!"
The corners of Zheng Qing’s mouth twitched.
This was a little girl who was somewhat talkative, self-loving, and kind at heart, he internally commented—of course, she could also be a sinister, cunning, and malicious true monster.
Which one she was, Zheng Qing could not be sure yet. But he was more inclined to the former because whether it was his intuition as a wizard or the discernment magic he had just quietly used, he sensed no malice from the little girl towards him.
On the contrary, within the interweaving tones of cheerfulness and seriousness in the little girl’s voice, he sensed a strong sadness. It lingered around her, not dissipating for a long time.
"How old are you?"
"That question is quite impolite!" Zhu Si’s eyes widened: "Mom said, you can’t just tell boys your age. Unless you promise to marry me."
That certainly wasn’t something a seven or eight-year-old girl would say.
Zheng Qing immediately skipped the topic.
He already had enough trouble with a tree, a cat, and a fox; he certainly did not want to attract trouble from a mirror as well.
"My point is, you don’t seem that old." The warlock rephrased his question.
"I could change my own diapers when I was three!" The little girl glared at him, unconvinced: "What does age have to do with ability?! Gan Luo became a Big Wizard at twelve, and Kong Rong discovered nine uses for ’Pears’ when he was eight... Compared to them, my age is not small at all."
Zheng Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.
"Wow, that’s impressive." He complimented sincerely, caressing the Law Book in his hands and asked tentatively, "Judging from that... are you a witch?"
"Guaranteed genuine!" Zhu Si tugged at her old robe, looking quite proud: "This is a wizard robe specially made by First University’s Traditional Magic Tool Re
