Chapter 267 Crimson Mirror
The guide disappeared.
The players also ended their brief experience in the mirror world, and the empty seventh floor of the museum became lively again.
The moment the clown appeared, the astrologer had already opened the astrological rift and quickly left the seventh floor.
The clown who appeared with the guild members had somehow moved away from the crowd. His cold eyes swept across the crowd gathered near the display case on the seventh floor, and his figure gradually blurred.
By the time other players came to their senses, all the unstable factors in the Joker and Astrologer copies had disappeared.
Others had no intention of getting involved in other people's disputes and just pretended not to see it.
The function of the mirror was explained clearly by the tour guide.
Unlike other players who lowered their heads and dared not look around, Xu Zhiyan stretched his neck to look around after leaving the mirror space. As a result, Jiang Huaique pressed his head on the back and forced him to lower his head.
"You have big eyes and a long neck, so you're the only one who dares to look, right?" He lowered his voice, with a hint of worry in his bad tone.
Damn, this unlucky teammate always makes me worry.
Xu Zhiyan was almost pinned down.
"...It's not like all the mirrors here are without covers. I just wanted to see the material of the glass cover." He was forced to make a few excuses.
"Let's go downstairs with the main group first. The glass display case doesn't have legs, so it can't run away!"
After saying that, Jiang Huaique did not let go, fearing that Xu Zhiyan would stick his head out like a fool and get sucked into the mirror. He could only hold down the head of his unlucky teammate and follow the other players towards the stairs.
He glanced at Yu Xiu who was following behind him, and saw that he was as well-behaved as ever, with his head lowered obediently. He finally felt a little more comforted.
Fortunately, there is someone who listens.
Otherwise, he would be worried about growing white hair this year!
Because of the incident just now, the three of them fell behind the crowd.
In front of them are Ji Bei and Song Xiying.
"Xiaobei, I support you. If this one doesn't work, let's replace it with another one." Song Xiying kept encouraging his teammates to replace the next NPC.
Ikebe nodded, seemingly undeterred by the rejection.
If you can take a shortcut in a dungeon, only a fool wouldn't take it!
Soon, the players evacuated from the seventh floor and stopped by the display case in the corridor on the sixth floor.
There are no mirrors here, so it's relatively safe.
When Xu Zhiyan and his teammates were walking down the stairs, they saw a bald man screaming and crawling out from the door closest to the stairs.
"Sister Bai! No, you can't come in!"
He got up from the ground, not caring about his image, and gesticulated with his hands.
Yu Bai and her teammates were the first to go downstairs.
She had her men explore the rooms on the sixth floor of the museum.
"There were mirrors in every room, and the mirrors inside had no covers! I almost got sucked in."
The prop in the bald man's hand had broken into pieces.
This was a prop specially prepared by the captain before he entered the door. It can resist a mental attack.
“Squeak—”
Another door opened, and a short-haired girl walked out, her face also a little pale.
"Sister Bai, no, it won't work. It's full of mirrors. Once you go in, no matter where you look, it will trigger the attraction of the mirrors." She was in better condition than the bald man, but the props in her hands were also broken into pieces.
Seeing this, Yu Bai didn't have time to say anything, and shouted sternly: "Call Zhao Jin back quickly!"
Just as he finished speaking, a short scream came from a door at the end of the corridor, followed by the sound of a mirror shattering.
Yu Bai had a cold face and did not let other subordinates go to check. He walked over himself.
Two minutes passed.
She also walked out of the room with a pale face, holding a broken mirror in her hand.
Blood was flowing out of the cracks in the mirror.
There is a shadow of a man in the mirror.
At this moment, the shadow cracked, and the person who was sucked in died with his eyes open.
Yu Baisong opened his hands, and the broken mental attack resistance item in his right hand fell to the ground.
"There are so many mirrors inside that you can see them just by looking up." She thought there might be some mirrors without glass covers in these rooms, but she didn't expect there would be so many mirrors.
Although each of the subordinates who went to explore the way had been given a protective item, in the end there were still casualties, which was somewhat beyond expectations.
When saying this, Yu Bai did not avoid others.
Now, except for the Joker and the Astrologer, all the players are here. The three rooms currently opened have the same configuration, so others will soon receive this message.
The dead cannot be resurrected.
She might as well do a favor for other players.
In the live broadcast room, the audience realized belatedly that this copy was not as simple as they had imagined.
[Dead? Zhao Jin is dead? He was only in there for a few seconds? ? ]
[Ahhh, I went to check it out, his death was kind of horrible, it was so disgusting that I won’t post the video, wuwuwu.]
【Zhao Jin was really too clever for his own good. Unlike the other two people, he was not prepared to enter with his eyes open. When he entered the room, he closed his eyes and walked directly to the center of the room.】
[Yu Bai prepared props to resist mental power for the explorers. When the others went in, they saw the mirror and the props broke, and they came to their senses and ran away.]
[But Zhao Jin walked in and turned a corner. There were mirrors everywhere...]
[It's so sad. His props can only block the first mirror he sees. But when he turns around, there is another wall full of mirrors.]
【I want to know what happened after he went in. 】
[It's a very strange cycle. I can't explain it clearly, so I'll just show the video. ]
Soon, a live video of the deceased was played.
After the prop in his hand broke, Zhao Jin immediately realized that something was wrong. Like his other teammates, he subconsciously turned around and wanted to leave.
Because of his experience upstairs, when the props broke, the first thing he did was to lower his head and look at the ground.
He didn't realize the danger yet.
The ordinary monsters in the hotel and his companions who were not difficult to deal with made him take this copy lightly. Coupled with the props given by Yu Bai, Zhao Jin became a little arrogant.
Unexpectedly, the ground was also very messy, with various mirrors scattered around...
While he was distracted, he saw a smooth square mirror.
The raised foot has not yet fallen.
But it's too late.
The next second, Zhao Jin personally stepped on the mirror that he was looking at and smashed it.
He himself could not avoid entering the strange looping space in the mirror...
The picture turned into bright colors.
This space is completely different from the copy space. One is a gorgeous building full of retro feeling, while the other is a two-dimensional world composed of various high saturation and strange lines.
Zhao Jin himself also changed from a three-dimensional real person to a funny two-dimensional image.
In an instant, the screen was divided into many grids.
In just a few seconds, the audience saw nine Zhao Jins, each starting to do different things.
One touched his face, one screamed, and one collapsed to the ground... But with a 'cracking' sound, this weird and strange two-dimensional player began to crack in a physical sense.
Wherever the mirror cracked, Zhao Jin would be cut open, and fluorescent red blood would flow out...
Finally, the screen went black with a snap.
Zhao Jin is dead.
Just after looking into the mirror, he stepped on it and broke it into pieces.
In the corridor on the sixth floor.
The atmosphere suddenly became much colder.
The players gathered together in groups based on their guilds and discussed quietly.
Now everyone heard Yu Bai's words, and when they looked at the doors again, they felt a little uneasy.
Although the monsters in the hotel are difficult to fight, the patterns are very clear. As long as you follow the rules, you can ensure safety. If you don’t want to explore further, spending the night with your companions is also a good choice... At least you won’t die inexplicably.
Seeing that no one spoke again, Yu Bai threw the still bleeding mirror back into the room.
When Zhao Jin's shadow was still printed on the mirror just now, she was sure that the mirror was no longer reflecting anything, but after just a short while, the shadow in the mirror faded a lot, and even the cracks began to slowly heal.
It's safer to throw it back.
She cleared her throat and spoke to the silent players in front of her.
"We haven't gotten enough information from the tour guide yet, and we don't know how to get away from the mirrors. The strength of these mirrors seems to be stronger than what the tour guide showed us."
"We checked three rooms on the sixth floor, and all of them had huge mirrors placed there."
If there were no display cabinets in all the rooms except the first and seventh floors, it would mean that the difficulty of exploring here would be infinitely increased.
"It's very dangerous here. We have to unite. I suggest that everyone who has skills or items related to barriers share them. This way, our chances of working together to clear the level will be higher."
When Yu Bai first saw the clown and the astrologer, he was very disappointed and thought that he would not be able to complete the guild mission.
Who knew that the clown and the astrologer didn't play by the rules, and fought fiercely, with no intention of completing the task properly, and her mind became active again.
Keep exploring.
She remembered that there was a player with protection characteristics in Xu Zhiyan's guild who could create barriers.
Seeing that no one else responded, Yu Bai took a deep breath and looked across the crowd for Xu Zhiyan.
"Boss Xu, I think... Boss Xu?"
When she started speaking, her voice was relatively steady, but at the end it immediately rose two degrees.
With Yu Bai's words, everyone turned around and looked at Xu Zhiyan.
Yu Xiu, a defensive player from the Krypton Gold Change Fate Guild, was seen holding a scepter and facing the others, while Jiang Huaique had a sullen face and was cutting glass with a sickle. Xu Zhiyan was holding two rabbits in his arms and squatting beside them, whispering and gesticulating.
On the sides of the two people, glass of different sizes, thicknesses and materials were quietly stacked together.
"Boss Xu, what are you doing?"
Yu Bai was a little confused and asked subconsciously.
Xu Zhiyan raised his head and scratched his hair, saying as a matter of course: "Make defensive props on the spot."
“…”
Yu Bai was silent, and so were the other players at the scene.
Seeing that others seemed unconvinced, Xu Zhiyan found a long rope, tied it to a rabbit, opened a door, and threw the rabbit in.
These rabbits have dull expressions and are soulless. They are the product of a magic hat and can be produced indefinitely.
But it has eyes.
As long as there are eyes, there will be vision.
The rope on Xu Zhiyan's hand was gradually tightened, and then suddenly loosened.
When he pulled the rope back, the rabbit tied to it had disappeared, apparently taken away by the mirror.
After putting away the rope, Xu Zhiyan picked up another rabbit.
"First, we can determine that once all living creatures enter, their eyes will uncontrollably look towards the mirror without a glass cover."
It forces the player's attention to appear, making it impossible to escape. It is very dangerous.
He pointed to the thick pile of glass and Jiang Huaique, who was cursing while cutting the glass, and continued to explain his intentions.
"At present, it is known that only glass can prevent the mirror from affecting you. As you can see, I have saved a lot of glass, all from dungeons, and some of them carry certain rules and powers."
“It’s just that I’m not sure which one will work.”
As he said this, he stuffed the rabbit into the magic hat.
"Our guild decided to stop here and experiment with rabbits to see if we can find a material similar to the glass display cases in the exhibition hall."
Touching his hat, Xu Zhiyan sighed.
"Actually, I also thought about taking away the empty glass cover upstairs, but I just tried it and it didn't work."
Otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of taking out all the glass in stock!
This explanation not only silenced the players at the scene, but even the audience in the live broadcast room shouted that they had never seen anything like it.
[What kind of creature is Xiao Baiwan???]
[I suspect he is a turtle spirit from the wishing well, really, I have evidence! ]
[I am dying of laughter, hahaha, how can someone enter a dungeon and not even let go of the glass! Help! All that can be taken out are dungeon items. I am really dying of laughter in this live broadcast room! ]
[Although it seems ridiculous, after thinking about it, I feel that this method is feasible? ]
[It works, it really works. Xiao Baiwan doesn't even use players for experiments, he uses rabbits! Damn, why didn't I think of rabbits being useful in this way!]
【He really is like that. I cried my heart out.】
[Yes, yes, after clearing the dungeon, you can immediately turn it into manual labor. 】
[This rabbit looks so familiar. It looks exactly like the rabbit I got as a gift when I bought something in the safe house before. ]
[Maybe the rabbits provided by the system are all of the same style? ]
After more than ten minutes, the players in the corridor slowly figured out the current situation and sat down with their teammates to discuss in low voices.
Only the three members of the Guild that spent money to change their fate were busy.
One was on guard, one was cutting glass, and one was using super glue to glue the cut glass into glass covers.
Chi Bei and Song Xiying who were standing nearby were also called in to help. The two were unpacking the electric toy car and putting the glass cover and the rabbit inside.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
Yu Bai looked at the players who were doing manual work and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
The bald man who was the first to leave the room could no longer suppress his curiosity, so he came up to Xu Zhiyan and asked in a low voice.
"Boss Xu, why does your rabbit look so similar to the gift I received in the safe house?"
Hearing the familiar name of Safe House, Xu Zhiyan raised his head, squinted his eyes and gave some attention to the customer: "Are you also a member of Safe House?"
"Yes, I am now doing dungeons while reselling low-level supplies."
The bald man touched his shiny forehead with pride.
"This is much more profitable than playing a dungeon. I have already earned back the cost, and the rest of the goods sold are profits."
It's a safe house sale!
Xu Zhiyan's eyes turned much friendlier when he looked at the bald man.
Subconsciously including the salesman Baldhead in his circle, he explained the origin of the rabbits: "It's normal that you see those rabbits are similar to the rabbits in the magic hat, because those rabbits are sold by me to the safe house."
He had already thought of the excuses for these minor details.
It was just that when he openly said in the live broadcast room that he was the owner of the safe house, no one believed him, and no one came to ask him later.
"These rabbits can regenerate infinitely, so I was skeptical when I tried to trade with the conscientious merchants. I didn't expect them to accept my money and give me a lot of supplies."
Xu Zhiyan wanted to praise the safe house to the sky and have all the players in the game come to sell it to make money for him.
"But they only asked for a batch of rabbits and didn't ask for more. The price they offered was also very high. I guess they must have their own way of replicating them."
"The price is really good, but it's a pity that I don't have other infinitely regenerating items, otherwise I could make more money."
The bald man indeed showed a longing look.
"I understand, thank you, Boss Xu. If I get something that can be infinitely regenerated in the future, I will also find a conscientious merchant to trade with!"
"Well, in fact, it's not just the props that can be infinitely regenerated. I also sold some of the novelties I looted in the dungeon to the safe house... By the way, the reshaping of the Supreme Scepter was also completed by the safe house."
Xu Zhiyan began to promote the prop restoration business.
"This price is not cheap. I was skeptical at the time and asked inside the shell, but I didn't expect it to be really possible!"
"Is it a second repair of the damaged props?!" The bald man's eyes were almost shining.
The two of them had a heated discussion about the safe house.
The players who were waiting for manual labor on the side were forced to listen even though they didn't want to.
If not everyone is interested in the previous sales industry, then the subsequent prop repair and upgrade is a popular business.
And the most important thing is, you don’t have to look for a safe house in the dungeon, you can just go to the shell and look for a safe house branch?
After a moment's thought, Xu Zhiyan decided to take the opportunity to clean up Xu Xiaohua, whom he had bought for 10 million yuan.
Because they had left the hotel, he put Xu Xiaohua away when he entered the museum, for fear that the naughty child would cause trouble again.
"In order to repair the props, I spent several days to persuade the NPC in the safe house. In the end, I had to pay a high price for a B-level monster before the other party agreed to this order. The price is really not cheap."
In an instant, everyone thought of the B-level monster.
Just when Xu Zhiyan was about to say something to promote the product, Jiang Huaique checked all the glass covers and rabbits, took the electric car remote control, and gave his unlucky teammate a cold look.
"Stop chatting nonsense and come and see the effect."
The players who were still pricked up their ears suddenly fell silent and turned their eyes to the remote control car.
Because there were many covers, what Xu Zhiyan turned out was a tank remote-controlled car. At this moment, the soulless rabbit body was placed in glass grids and tied to the car.
The electric car slowly drove into the room.
All the players held their breath, waiting for the result.
In order to make the result more accurate, Jiang Huaiqie manipulated the remote control car to turn back and forth several times inside, and it took a full five minutes before he drove the car out.
Among the nine glass grids stacked together, three rabbits were looking around in confusion.
The remaining six disappeared.
Xu Zhiyan was very satisfied with the results.
He reached out and picked up a minimalist sketch prepared on the spot, and spoke to the players.
"A glass mask that can resist the power of a mirror. Half-mask is worth 20,000 points, full-mask is worth 30,000 points. However, there are too many people, so we are only providing the raw materials, including glass and super glue."
"Players in need, please line up here to pay."
As if he had thought of something, Xu Zhiyan added another sentence.
"If you add 5,000 points, you will get an electric car and a rabbit. Players who are worried can use the rabbit to judge first. You are all from the same guild, so you can add 5,000 points together to buy a set!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaokui Gu, holding the payment code, appeared and served as a standee diligently.
The players looked at each other.
...Is there anything wrong with using 20,000 points to buy a few pieces of glass? But when they thought that the glass was more effective than skills, they felt it was acceptable.
The bald man was the first to respond to the call.
"Boss Xu! I want a full-face mask. Damn, that thing just now was too scary."
He even took his own guild members into consideration.
"Sister Bai, I can just buy a set of the rabbit and the toy car, and you don't have to spend any more money! Boss Xu, add a rabbit set!"
"No problem, thank you for your patronage."
Xu Zhiyan smiled so hard that all his little white teeth were exposed.
Once the first player spends money, the rest of the players will follow suit.
The dull atmosphere in the corridor on the sixth floor was soon replaced by a lively trading scene.
In the blink of an eye, a long line formed beside Jiang Huaique.
"Brother Jiang, cut it bigger for me, my face is too big!"
"Big Boss, cut mine first!"
"Go away, I'll give you the money first, go queue up at the back..."
Listening to the noisy sound behind him, the black lines on Jiang Huaique's forehead, who was working hard to cut the glass, were almost materializing.
Damn, why did he feel like something was wrong with this copy?
…
The eighth floor of the hotel.
Next to the blood pool, the tour guide Bai Jin, who was still stroking his ring, looked at the young man with a sly smile in the mirror in front of him and felt that the blood in his body was about to boil.
But it didn't stay happy for long.
A slightly childish voice sounded behind it.
"You're back?"
The tour guide Bai Jin paused for a moment, nodded, pretended nothing had happened, and replied, "Just got back."
The next second, its left hand with the ring was cut off.
"bite--"
The cheap rings rolled down the poolside tiles, making a crisp sound.
Before it could turn around and ask something, it felt its vision blur and its eyes were filled with red, as if its body was about to disappear.
So familiar.
That's how it just recycled the waiter.
"Why?"
There was an indescribable doubt in the blood's voice.
It reached out and picked up the ring, turned it over in its hand, and asked in confusion.
"Although your loss of control is to be expected, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can explain it to me before you completely return."
"You knew he was just trying to fool you, so why did you let him go?"
Perhaps it's because the clone is too similar to the original.
The tour guide Bai Jin, who was being dissolved and returning to his original form, pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
“I think it was love at first sight.”
"Although my sense of independence is short-lived, loving him is my business, and how he treats me is his business." It thinks a little too open-mindedly.
Blood couldn't help but sneer when he heard these affectionate words.
"I can't believe you're my doppelganger."
“This kind of love filled with human thinking is really funny.”
It suddenly stopped, ending the recovery.
"I'm a little curious, what would he do if he knew you loved him so much that you were willing to hide the out-of-control situation and die?"
