Zhuang Li reached out his toes and touched Hu San's body. He said, "When I saw him being replaced first, I began to think about the pattern. Obviously, he was the first person to be seen by the mirror, followed by Snake Girl, Baby, and Ouyang Yu. So, can I use these four people to conduct an experiment to see if the order in which they were replaced by the mirror people is exactly as I guessed? So, I let them run, the farther the better. As long as they are out of my sight and their points are deducted by three points, it will prove that my guess is completely correct."
He looked at everyone and said calmly: "The facts prove that I was right."
Zhao Feng and the others' hearts tightened when they heard this. Their fear of Zhuang Li not only did not decrease, but became even stronger.
This man used three lives as experimental subjects, wantonly manipulating and killing them. He didn't kill them, but he schemed to kill them. He is the true murderer. Even in the Lord's game, he can turn the tables and become the master. He is terrifying!
Zhao Feng and the others involuntarily gathered together and slowly retreated. Zi Wei and Da Long also hid further away.
Huangmao and Xiaodao took a deep breath and simultaneously suppressed the trembling in their hearts. This sister-in-law's behavior is a bit weird!
Only Xuanming remained by Zhuang Li's side, acting as his constant guardian. He knew this man was a demon, but he also knew that the rope that bound this demon was firmly in his grasp. As long as he was there, the little demon would not lose control.
Zhuang Li looked around at everyone, smiled, and waved his hand. "Don't be afraid. If the mirror had revealed you instead of them, I would have handled it differently. I simply believe these four individuals are murderous demons. Their deaths will help purify the atmosphere of the game world and benefit all players. At the very least, your chances of encountering bad guys will be reduced when you enter dungeons in the future, right?"
This sentence is so damn reasonable. Zi Wei and Da Long almost nodded their heads.
Xu Yingying blushed and clapped her hands. "Right, right, right! We ordinary players are most afraid of encountering these four people when we're doing dungeons! We'll feel much more at ease if they're dead."
Zhao Feng and the others still harbored fear and wariness, but they had no choice but to accept this explanation. At this point, they could only obediently submit to Zhuang Li's orders.
It turned out that Xuanming's hint at the beginning was actually true. If he wanted to get out alive, listening to and firmly following Zhuang Li's every word was crucial!
So at this moment, everyone looked at Zhuang Li intently, waiting for his instructions.
Zhuang Li raised his chin towards Zi Wei and asked, "When fighting that black shadow, what did you think of his strength?"
Zi Wei quickly replied, "His strength is about the same as mine. But he's very familiar with my moves. As soon as I started, he figured out how to counter it. So after a while, I couldn't defeat him."
Everyone showed an extremely solemn expression.
Zi Wei asked doubtfully, "Who was that man? Did you find him? Was he the one who left the bloody footprints?"
Dalong bumped his shoulder and whispered, "Stop showing off your intelligence. Didn't you hear just now? Your mirror image was the fifth one to appear, and Hades's mirror image was the sixth. Now, Hades's mirror image is lying on the ground. Where do you think your mirror image is?"
Zi Wei: “…”
After a long silence, he suddenly let out a scream.
"That black shadow is my mirror image? Then why are we still standing here? Go and kill him!" Zi Wei suddenly panicked like an ant on a hot pan.
Dalong quickly held him down and whispered, "Listen to Zhuang Li finish what's important first! Otherwise, you won't know how you died later!"
Yes! Zhuang Li had reminded him many times, but he didn't listen!
Yes, yes, yes, listen carefully! Zi Wei immediately calmed down and looked at Zhuang Li eagerly. Only then did he understand why the Hades had told them to listen to Zhuang Li when they first entered the dungeon.
The person who understands Zhuang Li best is indeed the God of Hell!
Everyone appeared calm, but inside they were utterly panicked. Someone who knows you intimately and can outmaneuver you is the most difficult to deal with. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the saying, "Your worst enemy is yourself."
Zhuang Li looked around at everyone and said, "After watching Zi Wei fight the black shadow, I already know that the mirror image is as powerful as the real person. The next mirror image to appear is Xuan Ming. Everyone, who among you is confident that he can kill Xuan Ming?"
It was not until this moment that everyone realized how dangerous the situation they were in was.
No one can kill Xuanming!
If his mirror image appeared, the outcome would be devastating! Forget resistance; they might be killed instantly without even seeing the shadow of the mirror image!
Xuan Ming also shook his head, it was difficult to predict the outcome.
Zhuang Li tapped the corpse on the ground with his toes and said calmly, "Realizing that the next mirror image would be Xuan Ming, I knew full well that a catastrophic disaster was imminent. That's why I asked you to leave the hall to avoid meeting this mirror image and thus causing a one-sided massacre. I sat in the hall waiting for him to appear, because I knew that the first person he would choose to kill would be me."
"Why?" Xu Yingying asked palely.
"Because the mirror people can copy the original's moves, they can more or less copy the original's memories, and even produce some kind of telepathy, so the other Xuanming must know that I have cracked the rules of this game. In his eyes, I am the biggest hidden danger and must be eliminated first." Zhuang Li shook his head and chuckled, as if he didn't feel the fear of being almost killed at all.
He looked at Xuan Ming and said, "What's worse is that everyone's true form isn't perfectly symmetrical, allowing me to see through it at a glance, but not Xuan Ming. He possesses the only face in the world that is completely symmetrical, flawless, and perfectly beautiful, and a body with the golden ratio. I can't find a single coordinate that can distinguish him from his mirror image. He is a miracle of creation."
Zhuang Li stared at this extremely handsome face without blinking, his eyes filled with deep amazement and admiration.
Xuan Ming's ears couldn't help but burn red. When it came to compliments, the little devil was definitely a master.
Everyone showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
This was why Zhuang Li had suddenly said Xuan Ming was handsome. When everyone thought he was obsessed with beauty, no one could guess what he was really thinking.
Zhuang Li gently stroked Xuan Ming's cheek, his fingertips slowly moving to his left ear. He peeled back a few strands of hair, revealing a small kiss mark. He chuckled and said, "So, in order to identify the real Xuan Ming, I gave him a secret mark. Then, I drove you all away, leaving that mirror person a chance to approach me alone."
Xuan Ming grabbed the little devil's hand and said sternly, "You are playing with your life!"
"How could that be? I've already thought of a countermeasure. No matter which of you I meet, my first question will be whether you want to know the Lord's secret. An evil creature created by the Lord would never remain indifferent to such a statement. I'm certain he won't kill me right away, but will instead take advantage of my trust in you to extract the secret from me.
"You know what? When I asked this question and he chose to agree, I already knew that he was not you, because you would not run back to quickly learn the tricks to pass the level and the secrets of the Lord God. You would only run back because you were worried about my safety.
"There's no need to check for any marks. I saw through his identity in that instant. At the same time, I can take advantage of his disdain for me and kill him unexpectedly. With a portion of your memories, he should know that I'm a weak D-rank. So no matter how close I get to him or even touch him, he won't think I have the ability to harm him."
Zhuang Li took a few steps back and spread his hands. "After thinking about it, I realized that I'm the only one who can kill him in one move."
He turned around, looked at the corpse on the ground, and sighed, "And the facts prove that my thoughts are correct. The soft can overcome the hard is the most simple truth taught to us by nature. So, before the game even started, I told everyone that I was a D-rank rookie. That way, you wouldn't have any defenses against me. I thought this psychological suggestion would definitely take effect at some point, and the facts have once again proved that I was right."
Xuan Ming wiped his face, his heart filled with helplessness and fear.
No matter what, things have already happened. It is useless to blame this little devil. The next time a similar situation happens, he will still act recklessly according to his own ideas.
He always thinks he is right. What is even more frightening is that his idea always seems to be right.
Xuanming looked up at the sky and sighed deeply. He was really at his wit's end after meeting such a partner!
Everyone's gaze towards Zhuang Li changed dramatically. If they had previously been somewhat unwilling to be controlled by this man, now, they had only one common thought: to obey Zhuang Li's every command! Because behind everything he did, every word he said, lay a profound meaning that could change everything.
He had probably already ingrained the word "calculation" into his bones and blood! Even if he just said a few cheesy love words or kissed her affectionately, he had ulterior motives.
Within the rules set by the Lord God, he can dance freely and even trample on others wantonly.
If it weren't for him, everyone would have been dead when Xuanming's mirror image appeared!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at the five bodies on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Zhuang Li shook his head and said, "You're worrying too soon. After Xuan Ming's mirror image dies, another catastrophe will soon appear."
Before anyone could react, Xuan Ming spoke in a deep voice, "The next mirror image is you! If he possesses all your abilities, it would truly be a disaster!"
Hearing this, everyone's heart tightened for a moment.
Zhuang Li frowned and said, "Yes, if he completely replicates my abilities, then he will be the biggest variable in this game."
Zi Wei asked tremblingly, "What abilities do you have? You're very weak, so killing you should be easy, right?"
Xuan Ming glanced at him coldly, seeming to dislike this statement very much.
Zi Wei shrank his neck.
Zhuang Li looked around at everyone, his tone more serious than ever before: "If I were in your place, I would use my telepathic ability to turn the tide in this game. Listen carefully—"
He closed his eyes and said slowly, "So-called mental sensing is mind control. My powerful mind can quickly capture your spiritual bodies and make you my puppets in an instant. If I want you to do something, I only need to glance at you, and you will act according to my thoughts, like this -"
He opened his eyes and looked straight at Xu Yingying, and after a brief moment of stunned silence, Xu Yingying raised her right hand.
He looked at Lin Zimu, and Lin Zimu slowly raised his right hand.
After that, he would look at each person in turn, and they would raise their right hand, including top masters like Huangmao and Xiaodao. Even Xuanming couldn't resist his control, because Xuanming had long been accustomed to following his instructions and had deeply ingrained this rule in his heart.
Everyone raised their right hand, and then looked at each other, with cold sweat pouring down.
They gradually realized that if this was Zhuang Li's hidden ability, then when they encountered Zhuang Li's mirror image, no matter how weak the other person's body was, they would not be able to kill him. Because at the moment of contact, they would be controlled by the other person's mental power, either committing suicide on the spot or helping him hunt others.
This is indeed a devastating disaster!
Zhuang Li clapped his hands, releasing his control over everyone's minds, and continued, "Besides this ability, you must also be wary of his command and planning abilities. He will gather all subsequent mirrors and coordinate the division of labor. He will devise one scheme after another, luring you in, treating you like rats in a cage, toying with you while he slaughters you. He will force you into desperate situations one by one. Believe me, he will do this, because if you were my enemy, I would do the same."
After hearing these words, everyone felt their knees go weak and they almost fell to their knees on the spot.
Shit, how exactly does the system rate things? Why is a monster like this only rated D? Isn't this intentionally harming people?
