Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon - Doom Tavern!
After hearing this notification from the game system, Gu Xinghe's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
After being teleported back to their private room by the game system.
He felt that the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days in the dungeon seemed to surge up all at this moment.
Taking off his trench coat and tossing it casually onto a chair, Gu Xinghe leaned wearily against the headboard, his gaze drifting unfocusedly to the doorway.
444 Ankang Road.
This address was a reward given to him by the game system after he cleared the beginner dungeon "Rose Manor" to complete the main quest.
It's supposed to be a private room.
But in reality, it's just one of the rooms in the communal apartment that all players who complete the tutorial missions will be assigned to by the system.
It feels like a game system where you're the boss and have just started your company.
The players, who were employees, had to live in a dormitory with the boss during the early stages of the startup.
But clearly, although both were assigned free accommodations, Gu Xinghe felt that his address was significantly more eerie—
The street named "Ankang" and house number 444 on it.
Names symbolizing good fortune and numbers symbolizing misfortune.
The contradictory addresses gave Gu Xinghe the feeling that this place was the setting of some third-rate horror movie.
But in any case, this is the only place he can find refuge in this world.
Compared to other apartments he knew where tenants were always disappearing from time to time.
Even though the address provided by the game system is bizarre, it's still much safer—
At least for now, he doesn't need to worry about the apartment landlord suddenly appearing and swallowing up the tenants he's deliberately keeping.
However, before he could lie down and rest, he still had a problem he had brought back from the Tavern of Misfortune—
When he gouged out his own eyeballs, Gu Xinghe was perfectly clear that he had indeed used this to find Eris's true form.
At the same time, he destroyed his own eyes, which were his means of observation.
He also successfully damaged Eris's physical body.
So at that moment, when he truly felt a real emptiness in his eye sockets because his eyeballs had been gouged out.
He also heard the sound of shattering glass coming from the mirror he had indirectly broken.
He felt the flying shards of mirror enter his eye sockets at an extremely fast speed.
It became a new way for him to observe the world, replacing his eyes.
The Mirror of Eris, capable of seeing into the human heart, became a part of him.
No, or perhaps to put it more accurately...
It seems that some of the "contamination" originally contained within the Mirror of Eris has been transferred.
In that instant, Gu Xinghe seemed to hear countless voices rushing into his ears like a raging tide.
That wasn't an illusion; he heard the thoughts of those around him.
Having lost its host body, Eris had to temporarily attach itself to an ordinary mirror and was taken back to his residence by him.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe gently pressed his eyeballs, just as he usually does when relieving eye fatigue.
The eyeball under the eyelid still feels warm to the touch, possessing a biological elasticity that only a living organism has.
He did not experience any sharp, foreign object sensation that would occur if a shard of mirror entered his eye socket.
Indeed, because the mirror had not actually entered his eye socket.
What entered his eyes was something deeper and colder, carrying a strong sense of malice.
Gu Xinghe calmed himself down, and with a flick of his left hand, a shard of mirror appeared out of thin air in his palm.
At the same time, the person in the mirror also seemed to have received a "power-on notification" from Gu Xinghe and appeared on the mirror surface.
The person appearing in the mirror was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old with medium-length black hair.
The girl was wearing a light yellow dress, the fitted waist of which accentuated her graceful figure.
But after seeing Gu Xinghe appear before her.
The girl gazed at him with eyes full of joy, as if starlight were shining in them.
But after presenting her carefully crafted image, Eris was met with only an awkward silence.
At that moment, Eris noticed Gu Xinghe calmly raising an eyebrow as he looked at him.
He wore a wicked smile, as if he wanted to remember this "wonderful" scene for future conversation.
"Wait, Master... Boss! I mean, Boss!"
After noticing that Gu Xinghe's wicked smile had intensified, she realized that he was not alone in his actions.
Eris quickly changed his tune, deciding not to add any more embarrassing moments to his past.
Eris, whose true form is a mirror, does not actually possess a gender in the human sense.
A mirror can reflect the desires in everyone's heart.
Eris, of course, did not have any special fetishes as understood by humans.
Appearing as a seemingly fragile young girl is just one of his usual tricks.
But what I didn't expect was that, under Gu Xinghe's scrutiny just now...
As someone who always observes others, he couldn't hold back when he became the one being observed so seriously for the first time.
At the same time, Eris's image on the mirror changed rapidly.
At this moment, the person in the mirror finally transformed into a boy who looked similar to Gu Xinghe.
If a gentle, submissive member of the opposite sex doesn't work, then surely you won't easily punch someone who looks like you, right?
