With a bang, the crystal skull shattered in mid-air, and countless crystal fragments fell like snowflakes. The moment they landed, the scene before us changed rapidly, and the garden turned into a void illusion.
In the illusion, the ground was a transparent mirror, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless mirrors of all sizes emerged, layer upon layer, surrounding Chu Yu, reflecting countless images of her.
The scene was extremely terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yu's expression changed; it seemed that the evil spirit that attacked her was the Mirror Demon.
She had previously seen records related to the Mirror Demon in an ancient book called "The Tale of Subduing Demons" in a Taoist temple.
The Mirror Demon is a monster that cultivates within a mirror. It has no specific face or form and mainly cultivates by absorbing the essence of people or animals that look in the mirror. It is extremely evil and difficult to deal with.
The Mirror Demon is probably after the Water Spirit Orb.
"You're quite pretty, aren't you, a metaphysician?"
A strange voice came from the mirror opposite. Chu Yu looked up and saw the mirror demon conjure her image, walk out of the mirror, and greet her with a smile.
Chu Yu looked at the Mirror Demon that had transformed into her appearance, a flash of anger in her eyes, and threw out an explosive talisman.
The explosive talisman landed on the Mirror Demon and exploded with a bang, turning the Mirror Demon into ashes, but Chu Yu was also blasted to the ground.
Chu Yu's expression changed slightly. How could she have been blown up?
"Hahaha……"
A sinister laugh echoed, and the mirror demon, still impersonating her, stepped out from another mirror, grinning evilly as it said:
"This is a mirror world. The mirror can reflect your image and replicate everything about you, including your appearance and abilities. I am now another version of you. When you attack me, you are attacking yourself, so you are also injured."
Chu Yu was shocked. The Mirror Demon had actually cultivated to this level, which showed how powerful he was.
Chu Yu's gaze turned cold as she asked, "Who sent you to steal the sandalwood bracelet?"
The magic mirror's eyes flickered for a moment, then it curled its lips into a wicked smile and said, "No one sent me here. I wanted to get the Water Spirit Pearl, so I infiltrated the auction. I originally wanted to take the Water Spirit Pearl that Fu Sisi had bid on, but I didn't expect things to take a turn. It turns out that the Water Spirit Pearl in this sandalwood bracelet is the one with spiritual energy, so I took it instead."
Chu Yu raised an eyebrow. It turned out that the evil aura she sensed before the auction even started was her.
The Mirror Demon took out a string of sandalwood beads and smiled shamelessly: "Hehe, once this string of sandalwood beads is in my hands, it's mine. You want to take it away? Dream on."
Chu Yu's face darkened, and he angrily cursed, "Shameless!"
The Mirror Demon snorted coldly and retaliated evilly: "I will not only steal your sandalwood bracelet, I will steal everything you have."
She stared intently at Chu Yu, her eyes filled with greed: "You are a student at Peking University and the young mistress of the Fu family. If I replace you, I can live a life of luxury. So, I'm going to kill you!"
"If you want to kill me, then let's see if you have the ability."
A flash of white light appeared in Chu Yu's hand, and the Demon-Subduing Umbrella materialized. With a flick of her wrist, the umbrella flew out, unleashing an extremely powerful exorcising force as it struck the Mirror Demon.
The Mirror Demon swiftly dodged, and with a flick of her wrist, an identical Demon-Subduing Umbrella appeared in her hand.
She flung the Demon-Subduing Umbrella out, and it launched an attack on Chu Yu.
Chu Yu jumped back to avoid the attack of the Demon-Subduing Umbrella, and then manipulated his own Demon-Subduing Umbrella to fight against the Mirror Demon's Demon-Subduing Umbrella.
After fighting for dozens of rounds, Chu Yu discovered that the Mirror Demon had perfectly copied her moves and abilities. The magic weapon, the Demon-Subduing Umbrella, was manipulated by her with fluid grace, and Chu Yu could not gain the slightest advantage. Moreover, her magic power was being rapidly depleted, and the surrounding mirrors seemed to be absorbing her power.
She felt her body growing heavier and her attack speed slowing down, while the Mirror Demon's power grew stronger. As Chu Yu's attack speed slowed down, the Mirror Demon swiftly flashed to her side and sent her flying with a single palm strike.
Chu Yu rolled to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and felt a sharp pain all over her body.
The Mirror Demon chuckled sinisterly, drew a black longsword from the handle of the Demon-Subduing Umbrella, and thrust it toward Chu Yu.
Chu Yu's heart tightened, and she tried to dodge, but unexpectedly, the mirror suddenly burst out with a binding force, firmly sticking her to the ground.
The next second, with a soft thud, the sword in the mirror demon's hand pierced through her left shoulder. Instantly, blood gushed out, scattering on the mirror surface, and was quickly absorbed by the mirror.
The figures in the mirrors burst into a strange and ferocious laugh.
"Hahaha... Chu Yu, your death is near."
Looking at those laughing, arrogant figures, Chu Yu felt a chill in her heart. Was she about to die at the hands of the Mirror Demon?
...
Auction venue.
Not long after Chu Yu left, the lights in the hall came on, and the staff searched everywhere for the sandalwood bracelet, but couldn't find it. Everyone was very anxious.
More than the sandalwood bracelet, Fu Yunche was concerned about Chu Yu's safety. He waited for a while, but when Chu Yu did not return, he took his men to look for her.
When the group arrived at the garden downstairs, Song Ze suddenly saw Jiang Huai'an faint on the grass. He quickly ran over, helped Jiang Huai'an up, patted his face, but he didn't wake up. So he asked someone to bring a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and sprayed the water on his face.
Jiang Huai'an was jolted awake by the splash of cold water.
Seeing that he had woken up, Song Ze was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Mr. Jiang, what happened? Why did you faint here?"
Jiang Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "When I was chasing my junior sister away from the auction venue, I was attracted here by an evil aura. Suddenly, I smelled a strange fragrance, and soon after, I fainted."
He took a sniff; the air around him was fresh, without any strange fragrance.
"Now that the fragrance has disappeared, it seems the evil spirit has left."
Fu Yunche strode over and asked urgently, "Where's Chu Yu? Why isn't he with you?"
Jiang Huai'an shook his head: "I'm not with her, don't worry, I'll use a tracking talisman to find her."
He quickly got up, took out a tracking talisman from his pocket, and tossed it into the air. Unexpectedly, the talisman spun in mid-air.
Jiang Huai'an's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! Junior Sister is in danger! She might be trapped somewhere in the hotel. Go find her quickly!"
Fu Yunche ordered his men to search, while Jiang Huai'an took out a compass and searched around.
They searched for an hour, turning the entire hotel upside down, but still couldn't find any trace of Chu Yu.
Fu Yunche had the surveillance footage checked. In the video, Chu Yu suddenly disappeared after arriving at the hotel garden, and then the footage became blurry.
Fu Yunche felt something was off about the garden, so he hurriedly went back to it.
He strolled around the garden and inadvertently noticed something flickering under a tree across the way, giving off a strange vibe.
He walked over, looked down and examined it closely. It seemed to be a fragment of a mirror. He picked it up, and the mirror reflected his image. The next second, a flash of white light appeared, and he fell into a virtual space.
This space is filled with mirrors of varying sizes, like a bizarre dream.
