After all, he himself is the true form of one of the seven mysteries, "The Smile of God". Others include "Awakening of the Self", "The Universal Treasure that Can Grant Wishes", "The Mysterious Woman Appearing at Night", "The Howling Ghost in the Music Classroom", etc.
The legends of others are also familiar.
"Among the Seven Mysteries, there is a mysterious legend that is described as 'If you wander around the school at night, you may travel to a mysterious space.'"
Merlin waggled his fingers from side to side, looking relaxed and at ease.
"You mean, the so-called mysterious space is Roja's hiding place?"
“Really quick response.”
Merlin smiled and nodded.
"Just like the results of your investigation so far, Roya is indeed hidden in the school, but he uses that mysterious space as a base to hide there. It is independent of time and space, and even clairvoyants cannot pry into it.
It’s a sight that cannot be entered unless you find the right way.”
I see.
In this way, everything is correct.
It was clear why Scathach couldn't see Roya despite the fact that he was hiding in the school.
Sure enough, the incredible events in urban legends are all true!
"You know quite a lot."
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.
Merlin smiled and said nothing.
This guy might have been spying on Kinoko City with clairvoyance, so he knows everything about their actions so far.
"What's that method?"
Jiang Li asked directly.
"Young people are really impatient."
Merlin laughed and coughed when he saw Jiang Li's brows raised and his eyes showing anger.
"Just find an unawakened heroic spirit to accompany you."
Looking for unawakened heroic spirits to accompany you?
What kind of weird opening method is this?
"Why is it designed like this?"
Jiang Li looked puzzled.
"Even I don't know about this part."
Merlin spread his hands helplessly.
"I know who created that space, but I can't spy on the situation there... Ah, but I do know the phenomenon. Unawakened heroic spirits enter that space, and when they come out, they either awaken successfully, or they all turn into residue!
"
What?
Jiang Li was slightly startled.
"That's right, Medea accidentally entered that space when she was working overtime at school a few days ago, and when she came out, she became a dregs."
Merlin paused and added another sentence.
Is this actually the case?
"Listening to what you said, could it be that that space is used to catalyze the awakening of heroic spirits?"
Jiang Li thought for a while.
"Just talking about the use, I'm afraid it's probably like this."
Merlin nodded calmly, as he himself had guessed the same.
"But what is the purpose of the person who created the Mysterious Space? We still don't know... Well, here comes the question. There are a lot of unawakened spirits on the street. Who are you going to bring to open the door?"
If you want to open the door to the mysterious space, you must bring an unawakened heroic spirit there.
Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
Judging from the conversation, that mysterious space is dangerous to the heroic spirits. Once they enter it, they will either awaken or become dregs.
If he were to find an unawakened heroic spirit, Jiang Li would have to bear the consequences of turning that person into a dregs.
To put it mildly, Jiang Li had to bear the responsibility of an unrelated human life.
Want to catch a random heroic spirit?
Jiang Li felt a little heavy.
"Unawakened heroic spirits... do you need this kind of person?"
Minamoto Yorimitsu looked aside for a long time.
It wasn't until Jiang Li fell into deep thought that she slowly spoke.
"In that case, let me go."
"Mother?"
The Souji's eyes widened.
Although I don’t know what my brother and the others are planning to do, judging from the atmosphere, it must be a very dangerous thing. Why would my mother step forward at this time?
"Don't cause trouble."
Jiang Li glared at Yuan Yoriguang with an unhappy expression.
"What we are going to do next is very dangerous. How can I let you take the initiative to get close to danger?"
In the past, Minamoto no Yorimitsu would have been defeated by a glare from him.
She dotes on her children too much, but she is very helpless towards them.
"Ali, I understand how you feel."
But today, she had no intention of backing down and stood in front of Jiang Li extraordinarily firmly.
"Listen carefully to me. In fact, during this time, I have been dreaming. In the dream, I have been experiencing a life that is me but seems not to be mine...I am thinking that maybe that is the heroic spirit you are talking about."
Minamoto Yorimitsu's expression was slightly gloomy, and his eyes revealed an inadvertent hesitation.
"Oh, that is to say, Miss Laiguang is awakening?"
Merlin immediately put his hands on his hands and smiled.
"Isn't this just right? How about taking this opportunity to awaken Miss Laiguang in one go?"
"Miss or something..."
"I refuse."
Jiang Li was not shaken at all.
"If you are awakening, then you can awaken naturally. There is no need to wade through this muddy water. They are just unawakened heroic spirits. We can definitely find others."
"But would that put other people at risk?"
"That's better than letting you go."
No matter what Minamoto Noraimitsu said, Jiang Li had no intention of letting go.
If he had to choose between an unknown stranger and Minamoto Yorimitsu, Jiang Li would choose Minamoto Yorimitsu without hesitation.
"Ali, you are really overprotective!"
Minamoto Noraimitsu held her face in her hands. Although she was rejected repeatedly, the corners of her mouth could not stop raising, and her face was filled with a happy smile.
She enjoyed this kind of care from her son very much and felt warm in her heart.
"Can I say something?"
Merlin Xi took a sip of hot tea and then intervened.
"Whether it is a natural awakening or a catalytic awakening, it is impossible to be without danger."
He continued talking to himself.
"In my personal opinion, it would be better to let Miss Laiguang go with us. At least if you wake up like this, we will be around to take care of you."
If she awakens naturally, no one knows when she will awaken. There are many unknown factors. If she takes this opportunity to catalyze her awakening, with Mei Lin and Jiang Li by her side, she can at least be safer.
Jiang Li frowned and had to admit that this did make sense.
"And, more importantly - when it comes to the last minute, no one can stay out of it."
Merlin's expression became serious.
"Whether you are awakened or not, you will eventually be dragged into the ritual. Awakening yourself will give you more life protection."
"Brother Jiang Li, you seem to care about your family very much and attach great importance to friendship. This is a good thing, but if that time comes, friendship will only become a drag on you."
It is impossible to protect your unawakened family members while fighting for the position of uo.
In that case, his family will inevitably slow him down and even become his weakness and burden.
