Pearl Lake is located in the forest outside Jianbao University. This forest has been artificially trimmed and managed, which is a bit similar to the later parks. In addition to schoolwork, students from Jianbao University often come here for a walk and occasionally see men and women having sex. This kind of thing is not common in campuses of this era, but it has already begun to show signs.

However, compared with later parks, this forest still has a sense of primitive and wild mystery. When wandering in the clearings in the forest or walking on a path covered with dead branches and leaves, you can often see the traces of wild animals, and the surroundings are quiet, making people feel vaguely uneasy.

Sean walked through an ancient oak forest, walked around an abandoned hut in the forest, and came to the shore of Pearl Lake.

The lake water is clear, and in the quiet afternoon sunlight reflects the emerald green trees and the blue sky like a mirror.

Sean looked into the water on a wooden pier, and could even see the mud-covered bottom and the fish swimming in it.

The ‘Lake of Purity’ should be fine.

There was a sound of footsteps in the woods behind him. Sean looked back and saw a white-bearded forest guard, carrying a hunting crossbow and a gray-die hunting dog, and there were several dead rabbits hanging in strings on his shoulders.

Seeing Shawn's forest guard, he hurriedly took off his hat and greeted him.

"Ri'an, Professor Sean."

"Old John, you've got a good harvest today."

The old man laughed dryly. In theory, all the animals in this forest belong to the property of Sword Castle University. Unless there are wild animals that hurt people, the forest guards have no right to hunt them. However, this kind of thing is in a gray area, and if no one cares about it, there will be nothing wrong.

The old man hurriedly changed the topic: "Professor Sean, is there anything you can do to serve you?"

"I remember there was a cruise ship on Pearl Lake?"

"Yes, those students sometimes rowed in the lake. One of them accidentally drowned last year. To prevent another accident, I locked the boat."

"Can you lend it to me?" Sean said and handed over two Silver Tuckers.

The guardian's eyes lit up, "Of course." As he said that, he rubbed his blood-stained hands on his clothes, and then he took the money over.

"This is the key to the boat, you can use it at any time."

Sean took the key and said goodbye.

When he got home, it was not dark and he was idle, so he looked at the newly bought book.

The ancient Brighton language is in line with modern Brighton language, so it is not difficult to learn. What should be paid attention to is some grammatical habits, the increase and decrease of letters, and some special words that were used by ancient people, so special attention should be paid.

The other is the different meanings of the four special symbols in different contexts.

After an afternoon, Sean made some progress. He took out the old book and looked through a few pages, and could already see the general meaning.

In this case, you can barely read it in about ten days or half a month, and of course you still have to compare it with the dictionary.

He put the book back in, and at night he came to Alhaz's home again.

Alhaz also has some clues.

"Little Lanster doesn't like going to school very much. He only enrolled in philosophy classes, riding classes, swordsmanship classes, and aristocratic etiquette classes. These courses are niche classes, so it is a bit difficult to catch him in school.

Most of the time he spent hang out in the theaters, theaters, and taverns in the upper city, and occasionally attended various dance parties.

Recently, he became obsessed with a musical actor and rented a room at the Ruby Hotel near the theater. There is a high probability that he will appear there in the past few days. Anyway, I can't live without that area. I let my subordinates stare at it. As long as he enters the hotel, he will send me a message."

Sean was a little surprised, "You have any men?"

Alhaz smiled mysteriously, "Of course, as a folklorist, sometimes you need to do something that is not convenient to show up, and your connections are very important."

Sean was half-believing, but he didn't take it too seriously. The most important thing now is to treat the disease. He could feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker.

In the next two days, he went to the chemistry department to steal a bottle of ether.

Everything was ready, and finally it was the evening of the 14th.

At eight o'clock, Alhaz's men sent news that the target had entered the Grand Theater.

The two of them no longer hesitated and immediately began to act.

Before leaving, Sean took out two sets of black hooded cloaks from his bag.

"What's this?"

"Although we can travel through the world in the mirror, we must inevitably be exposed to reality when kidnapping, so we must avoid being seen as much as possible."

Sean said as he put on his cloak, put on a masked towel, and then covered his hood, and it looked like there was no flaw.

Alhaz was also dressed up, and he was very satisfied with this outfit.

Entering the world in the mirror again, the two walked towards the distance along the long stone bridge. The directions of the world in the mirror and the real world are completely opposite, but there are also rules to follow. As long as you follow the rules, it is not easy to make mistakes.

The two of them walked along the stone bridge and could see mirrors hovering in the air from time to time. Looking inside through the mirror, they could see different scenes in reality. This feeling was very wonderful, just like hiding between the cracks in time and space, peeking into reality.

Sean discovered that not only mirrors can reflect reality, but some water surfaces can also have similar effects. When he walks through a puddle and looks into the water, he can clearly see the scenes on the streets in reality, and even see hurried pedestrians. The images of these pedestrians are sometimes refracted into the world in the mirror, like a phantom passing by.

As the two gradually penetrated into the city, there were more and more ruins around the building, and the images they saw were becoming more and more, and more and more flashes appeared around, silently interpreting a certain segment of real life.

Since it was nighttime, most of the images I saw were shady, like ghosts, and Sean was dazzled. Even though he knew that these were just reflections of reality and had no threat, it still made him feel nervous.

The two of them kept walking, identifying the surrounding environment through the mirror. Although they could not accurately locate, the general direction could still be grasped.

After walking for more than half an hour, I finally saw the images of the upper city in the nearby mirror.

"It's almost here, we're here." Alhaz said excitedly, "Look, it's there!"

In front of them was a huge ruin, layer by layer of broken towers and broken walls stood in front of the two people, mirrors floating on the ruined trails and steps, reflecting the luxurious and glitzy real images.

The phantom of reality and the broken buildings of the world in the mirror are intertwined, forming a strange and terrifying quiet scene.

The two walked straight into the ruins and looked inside quietly through the mirror.

A dance party was being held on the other side of the mirror, and you could see a pair of men and women hugging each other, spinning and jumping in the light.

Although the Grand Theater is called the theater, it is sometimes used as a venue for dance parties. The Ruby Hotel is next to the theater and is connected by a passage.
