Having figured out what the other party had done, Gu Xinghe could only sigh inwardly, "As expected of the Mirror who claims to be still very weak."
Therefore, he became curious about the current state of the mirror.
"So your true form is a mirror? And you have no name?"
"Hmm... if the Mirror of Eris counts as a name?"
"So your name is Eris?"
"Fine, you're the boss, call me whatever you like."
Gu Xinghe nodded.
We highly appreciate the employee who cooperated fully with the boss's various actions in order to get a raise.
"But boss, have you heard of this legend?"
At this moment, Eris's voice suddenly became particularly low, as if she were about to tell a horror story.
"It is said that the Mirror of Eris can reflect the hidden desires in everyone's heart."
Let them see their deepest, most urgent, and strongest desires.
Eris, the judge in this world's legends who can see into the hearts of all people.
The magic mirror, bearing the name of Eris, seems to possess the same power.
However, Gu Xinghe's knowledge of this world is clearly mostly concentrated in alchemy.
"The Mirror of Eris? So aren't you the mirror itself from that legend?"
You ask me if I've heard this legend?
He now reasonably suspects that Eris is speaking through various legends he has never heard before.
To elevate his status and flaunt his fame.
This mindset is remarkably consistent with the image of the little boy reflected in the mirror.
"Hehe, boss, would you like to give it a try?"
The Mirror of Eris is here to serve you.
The boy in the mirror grinned mischievously, and the suggestion of looking in the mirror seemed rather sinister.
But Gu Xinghe's expression showed the same eagerness.
"OK."
He nodded, casually agreeing, and walked into Eris's "trap".
Gu Xinghe, who possesses the ability to read minds, has always been the one listening to others' thoughts.
And no one has ever been able to read their inner thoughts.
Even at this moment, Eris did not realize that Gu Xinghe was listening to his thoughts.
Could the Mirror of Eris, which reflects the hidden desires in everyone's heart, also reflect his inner self?
Or rather, Gu Xinghe was also curious.
What is his deepest, most intense desire?
Is the hope to rescue Chris from her imprisonment and sealing?
How do you figure out the workings of the entire horror game system?
Or maybe...
Staring at the Mirror of Eris before him, Gu Xinghe hoped he could find the answer within it.
The image of Eris's little boy disappeared from the mirror.
At this moment, the center of the mirror was empty, yet it seemed as if a cloud of mist was slowly forming.
Then, Gu Xinghe clearly saw what was reflected in the mirror.
"Boss, what do you see in the mirror?"
Eris's voice came from the mirror, and now it sounded somewhat distorted.
"I saw you."
"Ugh... Boss, that's a bit cheesy and disgusting."
But at this moment, Gu Xinghe ignored Eris's complaints and continued his narration as if he were in a daze.
“I saw you, and Chris, Theresa, and…”
Gu Xinghe paused in his speech.
What he saw in the mirror at that moment was truly astonishing.
Gu Xinghe saw his own figure in the mirror.
But besides that, there are many more people among them.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe's figure was standing in the very center of the mirror.
And around him, there were countless beings following behind him, surrounding him like stars around the moon.
They are partners, followers, and fellow travelers who embark on the journey with him.
Gu Xinghe saw Chris wearing a gorgeous red dress that looked like a blooming rose.
Her dazzling blonde hair flowed over her shoulders, echoing the exquisite crown atop her head.
She held a thorny spear in her hand, and a most beautiful and unrestrained smile appeared on her face.
On the other side was Theresa, who was completely different from her first impression.
A light, semi-transparent veil draped from the top of her hair, exuding mystery and nobility.
On her pure white dress, crystal wings unfolded from her barely visible butterfly-shaped shoulder blades.
At this moment, she was not a saint who pitied all living beings, but simply a believer loyal to Gu Xinghe.
And the boy Eris, whom we just saw in the mirror.
He was dressed in a black suit and shorts, wearing a top hat, and holding a scepter.
His eyes were clear and bright, like the clearest lake.
It seems that they can easily see through the secrets hidden in anyone's heart.
On the large mirror, one figure after another stands.
However, Gu Xinghe could not make out the appearance and shape of these beings, as they were shrouded in wisps of black mist.
Gu Xinghe felt as if he had seen something, but nothing remained as a memory.
Information that he could not yet comprehend appeared in Gu Xinghe's mind but vanished in an instant.
But without exception, there were those veils of mist that he could not see clearly.
They all exuded a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble, and they were all vaguely centered around Gu Xinghe, surrounding and protecting him.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe, standing in front of the mirror, seemed to sense something.
He raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror.
Gu Xinghe in the mirror seemed to look exactly the same as he does now.
But his pupils, sparkling with starlight beneath his black, tousled hair, added an indescribable and unique charm to him.
The black pupils seemed to spread out in circles in his eyes.
His ink-black eyes in the mirror seemed to see through time, traversing the river of history, smiling as he gazed back at his present self.
"Ah... I see."
After a long while, Eris's voice broke Gu Xinghe's immersion.
His voice carried a hint of amusement, as if even he himself hadn't expected Gu Xinghe to see these things through the mirror.
But Eris quickly realized what was happening and said with a sense of relief.
"Ha, of course, after all, my boss is really amazing!"
At this moment, the image in the mirror gradually dissipated like spreading ripples.
However, Gu Xinghe did not feel regret or reluctance about the disappearance of these illusory images.
His fingers touched the mirror, and Eris's image reappeared on the mirror.
"Then please take care of me from now on, Eris."
"Of course! But the salary can't be reduced either, boss!"
Looking at Eris in the mirror, he saw an expression that said, "I can't do anything without money."
Gu Xinghe began to look forward to the future.
