The Retrospective Mirror takes the person being reflected back to the most important and memorable day in their memory.
Everyone was utterly astonished when they saw Xie Chen transform from a boy into a cold, gloomy young man covered in wounds.
Xie Chen found himself transformed into the most pathetic figure from his memory, and with a grimacing expression, he couldn't help but spit out blood.
His body and strength have returned to what they were when his conspiracy was exposed and he was driven to the brink of despair by everyone.
It's so similar to the current situation.
Everyone stared at him with the same expression, incredulous.
"You... went back... how did you do that?"
Xie Zhen looked at the young man's sinister face, and his body trembled for a moment. His voice trembled as he asked, "How did you end up like this?"
Xie Zhen swayed, his fingers involuntarily calculating, but before he could find out anything, he too coughed up blood.
Sure enough, Xie Chen's fate has been changed!
He couldn't figure it out, and was even attacked by the backlash!
"Why?"
Xie Zhen looked at the child she had taken in and raised since birth with a pang of heartache. He had once had such high hopes for Xie Chen, but the other… “Is love really that important to you?”
Xie Zhen couldn't understand what could have turned Xie Chen into such a grotesque and inhuman creature, and he dared not look at the girl beside him.
That woman was like Xie Chen's Achilles' heel. Before he could even utter her name, Xie Chen instinctively shielded Mingmei behind him.
"Liking her is my own business, it has nothing to do with her." Xie Chen took all the blame upon himself.
"The art of divination, predicting human destiny and divine fortune, can decide a person's fate in a single breath. It sounds impressive," Xie Chen said, unable to contain his anger as he covered his bleeding mouth. "But when it comes to your own life, you realize how powerless you are. Destined to meet... but not to be together, what a cruel outcome?"
Xie Zhen's face turned pale. Thinking of what he had said earlier, and considering Xie Chen's behavior, he immediately understood everything!
"You want to change your destiny?"
"Yes, it failed..."
Xie Chen chuckled lightly. He had failed utterly, and he would forever remember that in his heart.
"What did you do... to change your fate?"
Xie Zhen felt a little regretful when he asked the question, but he also wanted to know what Xie Chen had done.
“Before, I wanted to change my fate.” Xie Chen said, looking at Xie Zhen’s incredulous expression, and laughed, “Master, you know that no one has ever ascended in the divination path. Even if you have high expectations for me, you never thought I could ascend, did you? The end of this path was completely cut off long ago because Bu Tian spied on the Heavenly Dao.”
"you……"
“But I want to ascend, Master.” Xie Chen said, glancing at Mei Shi and Ming Yi. “They left with Ming Mei. I don’t have the ability of True Person Mingxiao. I don’t ask to help others ascend, but I can’t even leave here on my own.”
"I did so much, but I still failed in the end... Since I can't go against fate... I might as well just lie to it."
Xie Chen licked the blood off his mouth with his blood-stained tongue. Now that things had come to this, he was no longer afraid of everyone finding out, but this time he still failed at the last minute.
He did so much, overturning most of the divination results Xie Zhen had given, just to create the impression that Xie Zhen's divination was inaccurate, and to make everyone believe that so-called "destiny" was nothing but "jokes".
However, the killing caused by this "joke" was far too great.
"So, you once wanted to ascend, but you failed, so now..."
As he spoke, Mo Wenshu immediately took out a brocade box, which was the same brocade box that the Fifth Elder had brought during the day, containing the letter that he had taken from Xie Zhen in front of everyone.
“Index, you now want to sabotage their ascension and keep her here forever, is that it?”
It was obvious who Mo Wenshu was referring to, and at that moment everyone's attention turned to Mingmei, who was being blocked by Xie Chen.
Only then did everyone realize that Mingmei hadn't said a word since earlier, and they looked over.
They then realized that something seemed off about Mingmei; her eyes were lifeless, and she seemed completely oblivious to their gazes…
"Hey, something doesn't look right to me?"
The two "human cameras" lying on the ground also sensed something was amiss as they watched the tense atmosphere above.
"Hmm, it seems that the girl hasn't reacted since the Mirror of Rewind was used on her," Julian said, looking in the bright direction and guessing hesitantly. "Could it be that there's something wrong with this magical artifact?"
"What's the problem?"
“Perhaps the person has been put into the wrong state? Otherwise, why would they be standing there so blankly?” Julian said, only then realizing that the voice that asked him the question did not belong to Lou Jia.
Instantly, Julian's hair stood on end as a small monk in an apricot-colored robe stained with blood suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The other person is standing directly above me!
[Player dies, game ends.]
...
"Meimei?"
Mei Shi was the first to notice that Mingmei was not in a good condition, but when she tried to go forward, Mingyi pulled her back. At the same time, Xie Chen was also on guard, completely blocking Mingmei behind him.
"What did you do to Meimei?" Mingyi was still rational and remembered why Mingmei was like this.
He looked at Shi Qing, who shook his head and said, "The Mirror of Rewind will only take her back to the time when her memories are most vivid. As for why this is the case, perhaps only she herself knows?"
