Chapter 103: Bigger and Smaller

I thought I only needed to pay attention to the mirrored decorations in the castle, but after entering the building, I found that almost every corridor and every room was filled with mirrors of different sizes, shapes and strange appearances.

"Ah... why are there so many mirrors?" At this time, Zhong Mengfan happened to be standing in front of one of the mirrors. In the mirror, he turned into a subhuman with dog-like ears.

"Wow!" Seeing that he had grown a pair of animal ears, Zhong Mengfan hurriedly stepped back a few steps to avoid the mirror. The mirror then reflected me, who was originally standing next to him but whose figure was blocked.

I saw myself in the mirror. I had a pair of black cat ears. I smiled and said, "That's quite interesting."

"It's meaningless. I just thought I really had dog ears growing on my head." Zhong Mengfan said and touched his head again.

"The environment here has mutated due to the death of a high-level esper and is constantly changing. It's no longer what it was when the pro hero escaped. The layout of the castle is also different from the original blueprint we obtained. Different mirrors should reflect different versions of us."

As I finished speaking, I walked to another mirror. In this one, I transformed into a woman with long hair. While my facial features remained the same, my expression was completely different. The "me" in the mirror made a feminine expression that I never make.

Zhong Mengfan also came over. In the mirror, he had transformed into a petite, curly-haired woman. Unlike the panic he'd experienced when he'd seen the dog-eared dog, he examined his girlish face and remarked, "Oh! I'm so handsome, and I'm just as cute as a girl. This is much more magical than the funhouse mirror theme park I used to go to when I was a kid."

Then he asked me, "But how can we tell which mirror is the one mentioned by the hero?"

I shook my head. "I'm not sure. We can only go by what the superhero said: he saw his best self in the mirror. With that as a hint, look at every mirror here and see what we see reflected in it, and then make your own judgment."

"Summer night."

"Um"

Zhong Mengfan looked confused. "I can't imagine what you think your best self is like."

Unlike his confusion, I answered without thinking, "The way I am now is the best version of myself."

I don't have to go against my personal will and do evil things that make people wonder whether I am indirectly mentally ill just for the sake of the system's sin value.

There is no need to worry that the world will fall into a doomsday crisis because of the emergence of some evil person.

For a long time, I have been living almost as I please.

In addition, she met Zhong Mengfan and was suddenly confessed to by Zhong Mengfan.

Thinking of this, I glanced at him slightly.

Zhong Mengfan opened his mouth slightly, as if he hadn't expected me to answer so bluntly. "...Ah, you really aren't modest at all."

"So what do you think is wrong with me?" I asked casually as I continued walking forward.

But he blushed because of my question, shook his head and said, "No, you are fine, always fine."

It seems that because of what I said, he started thinking about other strange things.

In this case, I didn't know how to continue the conversation, and the two of us fell into a brief silence.

I haven't forgotten that Zhong Mengfan confessed his feelings to me, but I rejected him. But the long-standing relationship habits can't be changed in a short time.

As expected, I should make Zhong Mengfan an A-level hero as soon as possible.

Then, decisively separate from him.

As I was walking and thinking about my own things, Zhong Mengfan pushed my shoulder and said, "Summer Night."

"What"

"Look, there." He pointed to a strange-looking full-length mirror placed in the middle of an unknown courtyard in front of him.

I said, "Come closer and take a look."

"good."

When we walked to the mirror, Zhong Mengfan's appearance in the mirror changed again.

——He became a ranger.

To be precise, it is Zhong Mengfan who inherited the abilities of a legendary hero and became an S-class psychic.

In the mirror, Zhong Mengfan was wearing a blue combat uniform with the Ranger logo. He had become taller and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Outside the mirror, Zhong Mengfan didn't smile. He opened his mouth in surprise, pointed at the mirror, and turned to ask me, "The me in the mirror has become a ranger."

"It seems so." I also walked to the mirror and gently touched the mirror surface with my hand.

Zhong Mengfan looked at my reflection in the mirror and asked, "But why don't you look the same in the mirror?"

What Zhong Mengfan said wasn't entirely accurate. In fact, when he turned around to ask me, the mirror happened to reflect me. However, after a brief moment of distortion, the mirror immediately returned to its previous state.

I said, "It looks like this is the mirror the spirit warrior mentioned. We need to take it away."

"This is the best version of myself." Zhong Mengfan looked at himself in the mirror who had become a knight-errant. He began to move his face left and right, and then slowly turned around in front of the mirror.

I:……

"What are you doing"

"That's right, I was just struck by how handsome I looked in the mirror, handsome in every way! The me in the mirror was actually taller than I am now! Then, I couldn't help but turn around and took a serious look at myself in the mirror - it was so cool and handsome~! Hero - Ranger" Zhong Mengfan said with emotion, his eyes still fixed on himself in the mirror as a ranger.

In the mirror, "Ranger Zhong Mengfan" still maintained the same cool and stylish demeanor as described by Zhong Mengfan. This, in turn, created a very distinct and asymmetrical state with the original.

"Just looking in the mirror won't make you a true legendary hero ranger."

Zhong Mengfan looked at the mirror with admiration and said, "Xia Ye, do you think this will be what I will look like after I become a legendary hero ranger? Can supernatural items allow people to see their future selves?" Zhong Mengfan put his hand on the mirror, and the ranger Zhong Mengfan in the mirror did the same action - he stretched out his palm and pressed it against the mirror, which looked indescribably weird.

I snapped my fingers at Zhong Mengfan, signaling him to come back to his senses. "We're leaving. I've contacted the Black Waiter. He'll open a space transmission channel based on our location and send us directly to the Super Hero Headquarters."

Zhong Mengfan came back to his senses and said, "Ah, okay."

Soon a vortex appeared in the void, and from the vortex came the voice of the black waiter, "Come here, Night Demon, Link."

Zhong Mengfan and I lifted the somewhat heavy mirror together and entered the vortex. After a brief period of dizziness, we stood in the lobby of the superhero headquarters.

However, the full-length mirror that the two of us had been moving together disappeared. In my hand, I was holding a mirror with the same pattern as the full-length mirror, but much smaller in size.

The black waiter looked at me and said, "Night Demon, you..."

"What's wrong"

…

As I said this, I felt that there was something wrong with my voice.

"Cough..." I coughed lightly, touched my throat with my hand, and found that the sleeves of my combat uniform had become longer.

No, it’s not that the clothes have become longer, but that I have become smaller.
