Chapter 266 Crimson Mirror

The tour guide was not loud.

But what he said was clearly heard by everyone present.

Xu Zhiyan froze in place, passively accepting the stares of others, especially Yu Bai who had just spent money.

Yu Bai nodded slightly at the young man who was caught, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Although Xu Zhiyan has always had a good reputation, this is a copy after all. When she paid before, she was a little worried. What if the flag was fake? Now that the tour guide NPC has spoken, the flag is guaranteed to be authentic.

Yu Bai suppressed the urge to add fuel to the fire and remained silent. It was a pity that her subordinates did not seem to be that smart.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, thank you for selling the flag." The speaker was Wei Guang.

His luck was bad and his companions were quite difficult to deal with. In order to ensure that he could enter the museum on time, he chose to steal the flags of other players.

Everything was going well.

He only picks on weak targets and his targets are not very strong.

The other guild team has been reduced to only two people. Even if they know that he stole it, they can't do anything to him.

Last night's battle between the Joker and the Astrologer caused all the players to suffer. No one would be so blind as to fight under the sculpture in the square, especially since he has a backer behind him.

It is currently known that whoever gets the flag will trigger the mission, but not everyone wants to do this mission.

Wei Guang did not trigger the task at first. He thought he would be the chosen one who would not be eligible for the task. Unexpectedly, after getting the flag given by Xu Zhiyan, he also triggered the task and needed to go to the museum to find the mirror.

...Damn it, who cares about the life or death of that companion?

After hearing what his subordinate said, Yu Bai's blood vessels in his forehead started throbbing and he wished he could find someone to sew this idiot's mouth shut.

The flag that Xu Zhiyan sold belonged to the tour guide. She had already paid for it, and the tour guide didn't seem to be paying attention to other people at the moment. This idiot was so careless and adding fuel to the fire. What if he attracted the tour guide's attention and took the things back in anger?

Fortunately, the tour guide didn’t seem to want to bother with ordinary players like them. He just stood there staring at the culprit, as if he was going to eat him in the next second.

Xu Zhiyan stood there, with the sun high above his head, but he felt very cold all over.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the unpredictable tour guide Bai Jin slowed down his speech and asked again.

"Did you really sell the things I gave you?"

It suddenly understood why its original body was so angry just now, but it couldn't tell whether it was more infuriating to feed the gifts to dogs or to sell them.

Hearing Slice's questioning mixed with shock and grievance, Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, lowered his head and turned around.

"I didn't want you to know this."

There was trepidation and anxiety in his voice.

Jiang Huaique, who was ready to summon his weapon, frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then unclenched his fist.

Based on his experience, it seemed like his teammates were going to make up something again.

The tour guide sneered.

"It looks like I came at a bad time."

Xu Zhiyan nodded vigorously in his heart, cursing why the two flags were exactly the same, but he didn't say so out loud.

"I know you might feel uncomfortable."

It was so annoying. He only put away Jinsheng's flag, leaving his wife's flag and the tour guide's flag mixed together. Who knew his luck was so bad that the one he picked up was the tour guide's.

His tone suddenly changed from being full of guilt at the beginning to being confident.

“But I don’t regret selling the stuff!”

After saying that, he took out a silver plain ring from his pocket and raised his head.

"Actually, when you gave me the flag, I thought you were a good person, and I was thinking about how to give you a return gift."

"Just now I saw other accessories hanging on someone's bag, and I wanted to buy them for you, but I have no money left, so I can only sell the flag first..."

"I think a ring would be much more meaningful than a flag. I was planning to give it to you after we were done shopping."

The rest of the people were stunned as they listened to Xu Zhiyan's nonsense.

Yu Bai felt the guide's gaze and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, trying to get away with it.

She found that Wei Guang wanted to say something, and she was afraid that this stupid subordinate had lost his mind, so she hurriedly signaled to the teammates beside Wei Guang. It was not until someone covered Wei Guang's mouth that she finally felt relieved.

Xu Zhiyan saw that the tour guide Bai Jin's gaze fell on his face again, and he bit his lip and looked away.

"Since you've discovered it, I'll give it to you in advance."

The small silver-plated rings were sold at a roadside stall, three for five yuan. He had picked them up from a jewelry store when he entered a city copy before. Yesterday, in order to please 3012's wife, he lost a hundred yuan, and asked Xiaocui Gu to dig out a lot of small items to please people overnight.

Isn't this useful?

He quickly pulled the guide's hand over and put the ring on his little finger...

The ring is so small that it can only fit on my little finger.

Perhaps it was because the young man was so proactive in front of so many people, the tour guide Bai Jin was still a little confused and seemed unable to react until he put the ring on his hand.

Xu Zhiyan stared at the tour guide in front of him.

The other person's expression changed from anger to stunned, then switched back and forth between sluggishness and bewilderment, and finally he suddenly lowered his head and smiled, his face slightly red...

Haha, so blood is also a love brain?

Xu Zhiyan was no longer surprised by this and even felt like laughing.

In the live broadcast room, the audience did not expect the story to go in this strange direction.

[Fuck? ? Why are you blushing, Brother Diao! How can you still be so beautiful when your fucking stuff was sold by Xiao Bai million? ]

[I am dying of laughter. How many messy stocks does Xiao Baiwan have in his hands? 】

[Hey, can this really trick this NPC? ]

[Is it possible? Didn't you hear the shock in his voice when he questioned? It seems like he really didn't see Xiao Baiwan asking for money. ]

[I am dying of laughter. Although this plain platinum ring is too low-end, it is fortunately small. ]

[Don't be so ridiculous, I bet that a person with a small score of one million will not give a platinum ring. The most he can give is a silver one.]

[Silver? I guess this stingy and unscrupulous businessman used silver-plated silver! ]

At this moment, the air on the side of the crowd in the square fluctuated for a moment, a rift in the stars appeared, and the astrologer walked out with a flag in his hand.

She walked into the crowd without even glancing at the clown squatting on the sculpture.

Now is the right time.

It was exactly half past seven.

Perhaps because the time was up, the tour guide Bai Jin reluctantly raised his head. He had to continue his mission.

Xu Zhiyan saw the other party looking at him and seemed to want to say something, so he quickly moved closer to the slice, stood on tiptoe and whispered in the other party's ear: "Some of the people here are my friends and know my wife. We can talk after we finish browsing."

He seemed to have hinted at something, but also seemed not to have said anything.

The tour guide sliced and shut up.

These words, which sounded like an invitation to an affair, made it realize that it seemed to be losing control.

Bai Jin glanced at Xu Zhiyan who was retreating.

The warmth of the young man's warm breath still lingered on its face, the faint smell of shampoo emanated from his body, his eyebrows were curved and filled with a gentle smile, and its figure was reflected in his pupils...

'Bang--'

Loose rationality is like a fragile thread that breaks easily.

Tour guide Bai Jin knew the true identity of the young man in front of him.

It had seen in the mirror how the other party coaxed the vase with banknotes, and it knew that the young man was not as weak as he looked.

But it just can't control itself.

Damn, it must be influenced by the harmonious waiter!

It suppressed its restless heart and reluctantly began its work.

This scene was seen by other players.

Chi Bei and Song Xiying beside him whispered: "This tour guide is gay and likes men."

"Isn't that nonsense?"

Song Xiying glanced at him, a little speechless.

Seeing Ikegami nod thoughtfully, she wanted to ask him if he had any good ideas, but the players had already headed towards the museum, so she just told her teammates to hurry up and catch up.

Everyone entered the Mirror Museum smoothly.

Although the exterior here has the same twin design as the hotel, the interior is obviously different.

Although the lobby is also in a retro and luxurious style, it is not as new as the hotel. It has an old feel everywhere, as if it has been in business for many years.

The players' expressions have changed to varying degrees.

After a night of exploration, most people got some relevant information. The hotel was renovated three years ago, and the mirror museum appeared three years ago...

According to this, the decoration here is obviously the same as that of the hotel, and the degree of newness and oldness should also be the same.

Xu Zhiyan looked around, at the heavy black curtains tied up on both sides of the window, and said nothing.

They had specially chosen room 3045, which faces the museum, in order to try at night to see if they could get more information using telescopes and other props.

As a result, after using the props, they found that the windows of the museum were all thick black. They were not sure whether the rules did not allow advance exploration, so they could only remove the option of advance exploration from the goal.

Now that I'm inside, I finally understand why there's nothing to see in the museum at night.

This place doesn't look like a hotel. The top of the middle area of the lobby is hollow all the way to the eighth floor, creating a very wide sense of space, which is used to hang mirror decorations with the hotel owner's distorted aesthetic.

The first floor of the museum is an ordinary hall. The entire floor is opened up and there are many glass display cases inside.

What makes people feel very uncomfortable is the surrounding area of the hall.

The top of the head, the feet, and the four walls are all clean and bright mirrors. The images of all people in the mirrors are replicated infinitely, including the exhibits in the glass display cases.

One after another, endlessly.

The players couldn't avoid feeling dizzy, and some of them even turned pale.

The tour guide Bai Jin seemed to be fine.

There was only a hint of urgency in the voice.

"This is the first floor, everyone follow me." Without any explanation, it led everyone to the center of the first floor.

The crowd followed it past the numerous erected glass display cases.

Mirrors of various styles are quietly placed inside.

There are palm-sized carved round mirrors, two-meter-high diamond-studded dressing mirrors, and gorgeous dressing tables with mirrors...

Many players have begun to wonder how to dismantle the display cabinets so that they can take the items away. After all, every mirror here is exquisite and well preserved, and looks especially like a prop!

A minute later, the tour guide Bai stopped in front of the display case in the center of the first floor.

"This is the introduction, please take a look at it yourself."

It gave a perfunctory smile, with a hint of impatience in its tone, as if its job was very boring.

The players didn't dare to say anything and came closer to take a look.

This should be the largest display cabinet on the entire first floor.

There was only a cube inside, which was held together by an unknown red sticky substance. The six sides of the cube were mirrors, reflecting the surrounding scenes from all angles.

On both sides of the display case are two museum introductions.

【Welcome to the Mirror Museum. 】

[The Mirror Museum was established a hundred years ago and has a very rich collection of mirrors. Here you can see mirrors of all styles...]

An ordinary introduction.

Just like any other ordinary museum, all the texts inside are no different from those in museums in the real world.

Xu Zhiyan quickly read it three times and summarized it.

The mirrors on the first floor are quite valuable and rare, but you are welcome to look at them as you please, but be sure not to break the glass cover.

"Brother Xu, there is no writing on the back of the display board."

After walking around twice, Yu Xiu came back and whispered additional information to Xu Zhiyan.

The atmosphere in the hall was very strange.

Tour guide Bai Jin's eyes swept across the focused players in front of him, and when he saw Xu Zhiyan, he frowned again.

Can't control it.

It couldn't help wanting to look at the other person.

"Have you finished reading it?"

The tour guide spoke calmly. Although the words were clearly asking, his tone was that of a statement.

The players who were studying the contents of the display board were forced to look up. Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.

"It's good that we're done. Let's go to the next place."

After saying that, the tour guide turned around and led everyone to the second floor.

The structure of the second floor is different from that of the first floor.

Since the stairs are in the center of the entire museum, the printed display board is at the entrance of the stairs. There are two corridors on the left and right sides, and there are many rooms on both sides of the corridors.

As soon as everyone walked up the stairs, they saw a square mirror that was exactly the same as the one on the first floor. The only difference was the writing on the display board.

"This is the introduction, read it yourself."

The players were a little confused by the tour guide's sudden temper.

But considering that the other party's tone was normal at the beginning, but began to change after entering the museum, the players perked up and were extremely alert.

It must be the mirrors here that made the guide irritable!

The display board introduces the types of mirrors on the second floor. Behind each door is an exhibition of the same type of mirrors, and on the right are the same warning rules.

With the experience from the first floor, tour guide Bai Jin waited for a few dozen seconds with his arms folded, then began to urge.

"After reading, go upstairs."

“…”

The players were angry but dared not say anything. Some even secretly glanced at Xu Zhiyan. Seeing that he was also like a quail, everyone could only continue to go upstairs.

The remaining floors are constructed in the same manner as the second floor.

The tour guide Bai Jin's language became more and more refined.

Third floor.

"Read the introduction yourself."

What should I do? It seems like I'm out of control.

Bai Jin couldn't help but think.

Fourth floor.

"See for yourself."

It didn't dare to look at this group of players again.

If it loses control and is discovered by the main body, it will die. It will really be flushed into the sewer and disappear forever.

Fifth floor.

"look."

I think I didn’t get noticed when I received the ring just now.

Forget it, it’s better to hide the ring. But I’ve been wearing it for a while, and taking it off now might attract the attention of the original owner.

Sixth floor...

…

In the live broadcast room, the audience looked at the players' anxious expressions, with barrages of comments flying around, and they were very happy.

【Hahahahahahahahaha what’s wrong with Brother Diao. 】

[I suspect the mirror is affecting the tour guide, but after looking around, he seems to be the only one affected?]

[It was so funny. At the beginning, the Ugly King and the Astrologer used the crowd to block each other from time to time, but in the end, Brother Diao and his men ran too fast, and now the two can only be forced to go to the exhibition board first. ]

【Hahahahahahaha, external crises are more important. 】

[The main reason is that Brother Diaozi has an expression that says 'I feel like I'm dying'. ]

【Hahahaha it's a bit scary indeed. 】

Xu Zhiyan didn’t understand what was wrong with this Slice. Since entering here, he seemed to be completely immersed in his own world.

Not professional at all.

When he reached the sixth floor, he stopped talking and just raised his chin to signal the players to go and look, and then continued to go upstairs.

All the way to the seventh floor.

There are no display boards or square mirrors here, and the layout looks similar to the first floor, with the entire floor being opened up.

There were a few mirrors and empty display cases here and there.

Tour guide Bai Jin finally finished his work perfunctorily and regained some consciousness.

"The Hall of Mirrors on the eighth floor is not open to the public."

"The rest are up to you guys to do. Remember not to stare at the mirror for too long, or else you'll run into some bad things."

As it spoke, it casually picked up a mirror that was not covered by glass from the display case beside it and faced the players in front of it.

Everyone felt that their gazes were being controlled and all fell on the mirror.

The narrow mirror reflects everyone's face.

Soon, everyone discovered something was wrong.

"Where are the people?"

Jiang Huai Que suddenly raised his head and looked around.

Yu Xiu also subconsciously summoned the scepter and was ready for battle. Xu Zhiyan frowned and glanced at his teammates around him with a serious expression.

The rest of the players disappeared.

After everyone stared at the mirror for a while, there were only three people left in the entire space!

Only the tour guide Bai Jin was still standing in front of them.

Looking at the mirror that had turned completely black, Xu Zhiyan didn't have time to ask before he saw the other party frowning and speaking in confusion.

“Why are there so many people?”

Bai Jin was very confused. After the players looked at the mirror, they were not separated one by one. Instead, several people appeared together?

Seeing Xu Zhiyan was a little wary, it pointed at the mirror, softened its expression and explained in a low voice.

“If you stare into the mirror for a long time without any barriers, you will be pulled into the world in the mirror.”

"But you two seem to have... some strange bond."

There was something uncertain about its tone.

Xu Zhiyan seemed to suddenly think of something and looked at the mirror walls on both sides.

Among the four people's infinitely copied figures, there were indeed several refracted mirror spaces, and what appeared in them were not their figures, but other players.

Not sure whether the mirror walls on both sides were the source of multiple spaces, he put his guess aside for the time being.

Soon, Bai Jin stopped worrying.

"I'm just giving you a demonstration, there's no need to panic."

After saying that, it reached out and touched the mirror again, and when it looked at Xu Zhiyan, its eyes became complicated and gentle.

"My work is done."

In the live broadcast room, the audience was amazed.

[Wow!! What the hell is this museum? Infinite copy space? ]

[Fuck, before I saw it, I thought this was a side story, where the player looks in the mirror, and then an identical player appears and fights against the person!]

[What you mentioned above are all relatively low-level dungeon monsters, such as yourself in the mirror.]

[That is indeed scary.]

[Fuck! So the mirror image here doesn't just refer to copying people, but only infinite replication in space? ]

[Luckily, the guild system is turned on. Even if they disappear, they disappear as a group. Otherwise, it would be too shocking if one person went in alone! ]

【Astrologers are really unlucky. 】

[Huh? Brother Diao, what’s wrong with you? Brother Diao? ! ]

[Oh my god…it melted? ?]

[Pfft, don't just look at Brother Diao in Xiao Baiwan's live broadcast room, I'm dying of laughter! It seems like there is a tour guide Brother Diao in every mirror space hahahaha, go look at the clown! ]

The center of the screen in Xu Zhiyan’s live broadcast room.

After the tour guide Bai Jin finished speaking, he turned the mirror upside down, and it slowly turned into a pool of blood.

Suddenly, its eyes widened, as if it had encountered something unbelievable.

In the mirror space where the Joker and his teammates are.

"You can't stare at it, or you'll be sucked away by the mirror."

The tour guide Bai Jin, who was slacking off at work, only said one sentence.

Unlike the space where Xu Zhiyan was, here it faced the two men and one woman in front of it with a sour face, as if someone owed it millions.

After saying that, it originally planned to turn the mirror to get the player out, and then find a quiet place for itself.

But its expression and the current strange situation have already made the three people in front of it completely alert.

The clown held a throwing knife between his fingertips, and Song Xiying also took out a weapon.

However, the tour guide Bai Jin, who was in a bad mood, didn't want to talk too much with these insignificant people. He just threw them out and was done with it.

Just as it was about to take action, an accident happened.

"Guide brother! If you, if you like men, then I can do that too!" It was Ikegami who mustered up the courage.

He watched the interaction between the tour guide NPC and Xu Zhiyan from beginning to end.

After confirming that the other party was gay and relatively gentle, he began to think about how to get close to this NPC.

"Boss Xu looks straight at first glance. You might as well look at me! I was born gay!" He straightened his chest and promoted himself a little.

“…”

The clown collected the flying knife, stepped aside and turned his face away, as if he was afraid of being embarrassed.

Song Xiying also looked at Chi Bei with admiration.

The higher the level of the NPC, the more active its thinking.

In the past, there were players who would join one or two NPCs in a dungeon to quickly pass the level.

I just didn't expect that this guy Ikebe, who looks like he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually gay and so hot.

She thought about it for a moment and didn't stop it.

If the NPC in front of her is really gay, then it will be beneficial for her teammate to be with the NPC.

Ikebe received recognition from his teammates and became more confident.

He unbuttoned the two buttons on his collar and shook out his well-developed chest muscles.

Bai Jin, who was holding the mirror, was stunned and felt a darkness before his eyes.

But it had already started to rotate the mirror to send the three players in front of it away, and its body continued to melt.

Before disappearing, it could only whisper and scold the enthusiastic and presumptuous humans.

"roll!"

“Ka——”

The mirror cracked.

All the other players who were in the vision world received a shocked "roll" from the guide.

…

"roll!"

Xu Zhiyan looked at the tour guide Bai Jin who suddenly started cursing in front of him with a very confused expression.

However, after the other party shouted, he turned into a pool of blood and disappeared.

"…Why are you still cursing?"

He curled his lips, not really understanding why the other person's expression changed so quickly.

“Is this tour guide mentally polluted?”

Jiang Huaiqie came over and spoke in a low voice.

"It should be."

Xu Zhiyan nodded heavily.

…

Blood pool on the eighth floor of the hotel.

“Crash——”

A bloody figure emerged from the pool.

"Damn, what's going on with that human?" The tour guide Bai Jin cursed with gritted teeth after finishing his work.

It went through so much trouble just to say a few more words to Xu Zhiyan and make an appointment for a meeting place when it wouldn't be discovered by its original body, but its plan was disrupted by this guy!
