This unexpected discovery made Xi Xi realize something. She looked at Shaliman's car, which did indeed look very professional.

No wonder Sallyman knew so much about Xue Shi's family when she confronted Xue Panzi that day.

I initially thought it was just because of the social news reports, but now it seems that it's clearly because they are in the same industry, after all, Xue Shi is indeed quite skilled in the racing world.

Xi Xi still remembers that it was Sallyman's key words that instantly turned the tide, and she felt somewhat grateful.

This matter had been lingering in Xi Xi's mind, but unexpectedly, she now understood the whole story.

“That’s strange. Wasn’t the big rock we saw earlier on the right side of the road?” Chu Zhiqin, who was lost in her own thoughts and unaware of the past between Xi Xi and Shaliman, suddenly rolled down the car window and pointed to the moss-covered boulder behind Shaliman.

Upon hearing this, Xi Xi nodded; she had naturally noticed it as well.

Before encountering the "cloned car," she and her mother were driving in the right lane when they noticed a circular burn mark on the side of the road. She even got out of the car to check it, so she would never have forgotten.

There was also that conspicuous large rock by the roadside, covered with a layer of moss, but with a large piece missing from the center, making it stand out conspicuously. Xi Xi remembered it vividly.

“You might be driving while fatigued, but it might not be a hallucination caused by fatigue.” Xi Xi touched the stray hairs at her temples, her thoughts drifting back to what she had seen and heard before. After thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, “I think we might have accidentally entered a so-called mirror-reversal space.”

As for the entrance to this inverted space, it's most likely the location where you encountered the incredibly bizarre "cloned car"...

Chu Zhiqin and Shaliman both looked astonished, their gazes simultaneously turning to Xi Xi.

Since everyone was in distress, Xi Xi decided not to keep them in suspense any longer.

She gathered her thoughts and began to analyze the current situation in detail.

Using the cloned vehicle as a starting point, Xi Xi analyzed the mirror-like conditions of the moss-covered stones and campfire marks one by one, and finally pointed out the phenomenon that the east and west directions were completely reversed.

This is clearly an image formed by mirror flipping.

When they drove onto the so-called "mirror surface," they encountered a car that looked exactly like themselves and collided head-on.

Moreover, mirrored reflections seem to only affect the environment and do not reflect foreign objects. Therefore, Xi Xi saw traces of the Sariman campfire along her route, but did not see any related equipment.

Xi Xi guessed that the reason they were trapped in the reversed space was because they changed lanes to avoid the mirror image.

Even so, Xi Xi deliberately avoided the topic of railways and trains, since these cases were closely related to this instance and might contain key information that would be beneficial to her.

Although it seems that Sallyman does not have any obvious malice towards her at present, it is obviously unrealistic to expect her to tell her everything without reservation.

At this moment, everyone is trapped in this bizarre, inverted space, and their relationship is more like that of grasshoppers temporarily tied to the same rope.

For Xi Xi, the most urgent task is to escape this dangerous "rope" and safely reach the other side.

As for what happens to each grasshopper after it successfully escapes its predicament, there's no need to explain it in detail.

Xi Xi believes that, given her current relationship with Sally Man, they are far from being able to confide in each other, and she is even less likely to completely trust a stranger.

Therefore, it's best to keep some secrets buried deep in your heart for now.

Chu Zhiqin, being Xi Xi's biological mother, instantly understood what Xi Xi meant. She nodded in agreement and also kept quiet about railway-related topics.

Sallyman looked terrified and said in a trembling voice, "...Isn't this just being trapped in a maze?"

This looks like she's been trapped in a maze... She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if something unclean was silently lurking in the shadows.

The cereal soup she was stirring no longer tasted good, and Sallyman felt a chill run down her spine, goosebumps rising on her skin.

Xi Xi looked at Shaliman with some helplessness, but there were some things she really couldn't say outright.

Because Xi Xi clearly remembered that there was a description like this in the fragment of the train driver's diary:

"Strange things often happen on mountain roads. Do not panic excessively. Drivers must keep their eyes on the road ahead at all times. Do not look around! Do not stop arbitrarily! Do not change tracks easily! To avoid being hit by an oncoming train returning from the opposite direction."

Xi Xi personally believes that the phrase "Don't look around, don't stop the car randomly, and don't change lanes easily" is a reminder to players not to enter the Reverse World.

Unfortunately, the words were too cryptic, and she only now understood the implication.

As Xi Xi just mentioned, when they arrive at the so-called "mirror," they will be hit by vehicles that are identical to themselves. The reason they are trapped in the reversed space is that they did not follow the principle of mirror reflection and changed lanes to avoid the mirror image.

Because, at the moment of collision with the clone car, both she and Sallyman acted instinctively, subconsciously turning and changing lanes, which led them into this flipped space.

However, after careful consideration, Xi Xi realized that if there had actually been a vehicle collision, her autopilot system would definitely have given a warning!

At that time, it was out of her human survival instinct that she forcibly gripped the steering wheel and changed the normal driving route of the automatic driving system, which led her to accidentally enter this reverse space!

"Whether it's a maze or a reversed space, we must leave this place as soon as possible." Xi Xi couldn't explain in detail to Shaliman, and could only vaguely describe the situation.

"How can I get out of here?" Sallyman crossed her arms and looked around in fear, a stark contrast to her dashing appearance, as if she was truly terrified.

"I don't know..." Xi Xi shook her head, her expression serious, and this was indeed the truth.

She then glanced meaningfully at Sallyman and said slowly, "In short, I think we shouldn't separate tonight. If you recall any specific details, you can share them, and we can analyze them together."

The implication is that if you have any information from the dungeon, feel free to share it.

Xi Xi wasn't sure if Shaliman understood her unspoken meaning, but Shaliman looked around and then quickly nodded.

Sallyman was terrified; she didn't want to spend the night alone in this maze of illusions...
