...The Reflection...

After making a deal with Mei, Sarra took Annie to the grandmother's house.

- Annie, dear. You will wait for us in this place until we finish our work.

Annie looked nervous:

- Are you going to leave me alone? Like daddy did?

Sarra hugged her then she kissed her:

- Daddy will come back soon, no one will leave you alone. You trust me, right?

- Yes...

- Good, the grandmother will take care of you until we came back.

Laila was worried about leaving the kid in such a place. They were about to be killed in this house.

- Are you sure about this?

- Yeah, we don't know what kind of danger will encounter us. Besides, the grandmother seemed a decent person. Look how happy she is when Mei told her that she will take care of Annie. That child will be safer in this house.

Usually, Sarra doesn't trust people this fast, but something in that old lady made her feel rested.

Dylan and the rest of the group said goodbye, then they headed toward The Great Wall. This time they have nothing to worry about. They only had to focus on resolving the enigma.

Dylan was kind of happy:

- Now we have the mirror with us and I hope it is the right one.

- What can we do with it?

- I don't know yet, The clue said "When the bronze mirror shines, you will find the hidden line" Maybe we must put the mirror in front of some light...Mei, Can I see the Mirror for a second?

Mei hesitated to give it to him:

- I think I already told you that I have no interest in your mirror.

- Even so, I can't hand it to you.

Dylan sighed:

- Listen to me carefully Miss Mei. We are now a team and we have the same goal. You need to cooperate with us even if you don't trust us. Please give it to me, I must see the Mirror and touch it to figure out its utility.

Mei handed the mirror to Dylan. Though she was still a bit hesitant, Dylan's words reassured her.

- Alright...Be careful with it.

- Thank you.

Dylan took the Mirror and started checking it carefully. The front of the mirror was a polished reflective surface, and the back is marked with six Chinese characters.

- What is this Mirror exactly? Do you have any information about it?

- When Grandfather gave it to me, he said that this type of artwork was first created in China during the Han dynasty. They are extremely difficult to make and are very rare.

- What are those characters?

- They are the name of Amitābha Buddha.

Dylan kept looking at the magic mirror for a while.

- So, according to the clue, this thing must shine to show us something!.. Laila, give me your torch.

Laila gave her torch to Dylan, who lit it up, then he directed it to the mirror.

- Nothing happened.

- WAIT, THE MIRROR IS REFLECTING SOMETHING.

Dylan put the mirror in front of a wall to see what was reflected. There was something, but the image wasn't clear since it was still daylight.

- We must do it at night.

- Well, we won't wait that long. The day is about to end anyway. Let's look for something to eat, I'm starving.

Laila wanted to follow Sarra, but Dylan held her back.

- Where are you going?

- I...I'm going to help her.

- She is not a child...she can do it herself. I need you to do something else.

- What is it?...

Mei was looking at Dylan while whispering to Laila.

- What is he telling her? Are they talking about me?

Suddenly Laila's face blushed, then she pushed him away

- ARE YOU NUTS? WE CAN'T DO THAT HERE!

Mei rolled her eyes and turned around:

" I think being around these two, will be much harder than being around a witch. "

Not after too long, The night arrived. Dylan put again the mirror in front of the light and that's when they could see the reflected image on the wall.

- What is this?

- That's the image of the Buddha shrouded in heavenly beams.

- How can this image help us in finding the clue?

- Maybe we must put the mirror in a specific place!... But where could this Mirror fit? I remember there is a lot of holes in the Wall.

- It's going to take a lot of time to try all of them!

- Yeah, I know, but we don't have a choice. We must find Its exact place.

Suddenly Mei jumped from her seat.

- I THINK I KNOW WHERE WE SHOULD PUT THE MIRROR!

- REALLY?

- Yeah, follow me.
