Chapter 64: The Last Train to Explosion



If Du Sanying was here, he would definitely scream at the top of his lungs to tell everyone to run, because he could very strongly feel the problem with the mirror. But unfortunately, Du Sanying was still dizzy after being hit on the head and had not come back yet. Perhaps this was his luck, as he managed to escape this disaster successfully.

"What's in the mirror?" Mu Sicheng muttered to himself, "What did Zhang Kui see in the mirror before it exploded?"

Bai Liu felt that he was unlucky. He could not swim, but he always came across games involving water. He was really a player who loved water, but he could not swim even though he hated water. Sighing, Bai Liu paddled in the water with his limbs like a dog paddling, and arrived at the carriage where Mu Sicheng was.

Mu Sicheng told Bai Liu what he knew, and then reminded Bai Liu: "But no matter what Zhang Kui wants to say, our top priority is to find the remaining twenty mirror fragments. Where do you think the remaining twenty mirror fragments are?"

"It's impossible for it to be on the passengers. Antique City is the final stop, so there should only be passengers getting off the train, not getting on." Mu Sicheng touched his chin and thought, "Could it be in the station? But we got on the train at Antique City, so it's unlikely to be in the station. I searched around and didn't see any broken mirror fragments."

"We have searched the train several times, and it is impossible that he is on the train..." Mu Sicheng was still thinking and analyzing, "Could it be that another group of passengers will board from the Antique City later?"

Bai Liu interrupted him and turned his head to look at Mu Sicheng, "I know what Zhang Kui wants to say to you."

Mu Sicheng was stunned for a moment: "What did he say? What's in the mirror he was talking about?"

Bai Liu turned his head to look at the mirror, his eyes darkening: "There is the last monster in the mirror."

"All the mirror fragments we encountered were on monsters, whether it was the Exploding Passenger or the Thief Brothers, the mirror fragments were all on them. Our monster book is still missing the last page, which means the last monster. The 20 mirror fragments we are missing are likely to be on the last monster."

Mu Sicheng frowned, "What's the last monster? Generally speaking, monsters in games are dead people or animals. I remember that in the news about the bombing, the dead people were the passengers and the thieves. These two are the only ones suitable to be designed as monsters in the game, right? Could it be the ghost in the mirror? But there were no clues in the game before this, and we didn't trigger any story missions related to the ghost in the mirror."

"No, you overlooked it. There doesn't need to be a ghost in the mirror. Something else died in this case." Bai Liu's eyes moved slightly, "That is the broken mirror itself."

Mu Sicheng was startled. He suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the mirror: "Are you saying that the mirror is the last monster?!"

"Yes." Bai Liu bent down and looked at the mirror with a click of the tongue. "What Zhang Kui probably wants to tell you is that the last monster is a mirror."

"I just felt something was wrong because the system notified that Zhang Kui quit the game because his spirit value was reset to 0. This is very strange because he was at the center of the explosion and his health was only a dozen, but he died because his spirit value was reset to 0. I thought you tortured him with props at the time."

Mu Sicheng was speechless: "I don't have that much free time."

"But now it seems that you don't." Bai Liu looked at the mirror thoughtfully, "The thing that tortured Zhang Kui to the point where his mental value was zero must be something else, such as this monster mirror."

"I always thought that this mirror had a strengthening effect on those monsters, so they became weak after we took the broken mirror fragments." Bai Liu swayed in the water and put his head close to the mirror to observe the broken mirror. "But you reminded me of the incident in "Mirror City Bombing Case". Now I find that it is very likely not the case, because the thief brothers in the real "Bombing Case" were afraid of mirrors. If the blueprint of this game is based on a real case, the mirror should not have a strengthening effect on the thief brothers, because it is illogical."

Mu Sicheng grabbed the hanging ring to prevent himself from floating away in the water. He looked at Bai Liu in confusion: "Then how do you explain that every time we take out the lens, these monsters become weaker against us?"

"To us..." Bai Liu stared at it, and after a minute of silence, he suddenly spoke, "Let's change our thinking. This mirror exploded into 400 pieces in the car, and all of these 400 pieces happened to be on the bodies of the passengers and the thieves. If only the fragments of the mirror exploded and bounced into the bodies of the passengers, it would be impossible for every piece to be exactly inside the bodies of the passengers and the thieves, and they happened to bounce into the key parts they specially protected. This is very strange."

"...It's a bit strange indeed." Mu Sicheng's brows furrowed as he listened, "Why?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes: "The only reasonable explanation is that the distribution of the fragments was not caused by the explosion, but these monsters collected the broken mirror fragments and hid them in the most important parts of their bodies."

"Collect them yourself?!" Mu Sicheng was a little surprised, "Didn't you say they were afraid of this mirror?"

"Yes, that's why they want to collect them." Bai Liu's eyes gradually became solemn. "There are two teams collecting mirror fragments in this game, us and the passengers. We collect because we want to gather this mirror, and they collect to stop us. They are afraid of this mirror, so they don't want us to collect all the mirror fragments. They try every means to stop us and hide the fragments they have collected on different people, hiding them in the most important parts, and we are the ones who go to snatch them away."

"The reason they became weak after the broken mirror was taken away was not because the broken mirror gave them any benefits, but because they were afraid that the broken mirror would fall into our hands. They became weak because they were afraid of us."

Mu Sicheng was a little shocked: "But why did these passengers and monsters do this?"

"There is only one reason -" Bai Liu's eyes fell on the mirror, "I guess the reason why they look like this is because of this mirror."

The moment he finished speaking, the mirror under the water suddenly lit up, with a raging flame burning inside, and the disappeared Zhang Kui was inside the mirror.

The triangular gap in the mirror where Zhang Kui's eyes should be was also the reason why Zhang Kui seemed to be unable to see anything. He murmured to himself in confusion, and walked back and forth in the mirror, knocking and banging: "Where is this place?"

But soon Zhang Kui had no time to doubt, as a cluster of flames suddenly appeared behind him and began to burn him. Zhang Kui began to scream and flee, constantly slapping the mirror, as if trying to escape, but the flames behind him kept chasing him relentlessly. Zhang Kui had nowhere to escape, and soon the flames in the mirror burned him into a sizzling charred corpse.

——Exactly the same as those passengers.

"I used to wonder why there were so many severely burned bodies in an explosion, because explosions usually cause impact injuries, and very few people are burned to death directly. But all the monsters we saw, whether it was the exploding passengers or the thief brothers, were in the typical charred form." Bai Liu looked at Zhang Kui who was burned into a piece of charcoal in the mirror and raised his eyebrows, "Now I think I know why."

In the final shot, the jumping flames slowly went out, and Zhang Kui's charred body also disappeared. The clean and bright surface of the mirror clearly reflected the contents of the train. The only difference was that there was a piece of broken lens on the train in the mirror.

"It looks like we have found the last piece of broken mirror." Bai Liu thought thoughtfully, "It is indeed on the last monster."

"Wow." Bai Liu looked at his panel in surprise. He was not panicked at all when faced with such a situation. "Isn't it said that this god-level NPC is hard to come by? How come I met him again?"

But Mu Sicheng's mentality had completely collapsed. After checking his own panel, his face turned pale. Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with a twisted and ferocious expression, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to kill Bai Liu: "You really deserve to be a lucky person with a value of 0."

"God has destined me to be so lucky that I meet him every time." Bai Liu shrugged, "I can't help it."
