Chapter 71: The World in the Mirror (IV)



"Teacher! Teacher!" Zhou Zhou squatted there and shouted at "Alvia" several times, hoping that the other party would respond, but "Alvia" who was shattered into pieces did not move at all.

He tried hard to piece it together, but the broken lenses couldn't be put together at all. He finally managed to piece together a leg, but it broke again when the wind blew. He could only stare at the fragments on the ground and blink innocently.

"Teacher...you haven't taught me yet." Zhou Zhou shouted, but unfortunately the fragments on the ground would not respond to him. Zhou Zhou could only dig a hole and bury the fragments.

Looking at the small mound of earth on the ground, he scratched his face, walked around the mound several times before leaving, looking back every few steps.

Not knowing which way to go, Zhou Zhou looked around and finally found that he was very close to the mountain road, so he walked from the grassland towards the mountain road.

Along the way, he didn't see anyone or any vehicles passing by. Zhou Zhou stood on the mountain road for a while and then headed towards the top of the mountain. If they hadn't encountered a car accident, their final destination would probably also be the top of the mountain.

After walking on the road for a long time, Zhou Zhou was still thinking about what he had done to make his teacher break into pieces. It seemed that he asked his name. Wasn't it right to ask? Why does it break when you ask for a name? It’s a pity that no one answered this question at this time.

Looking at the halfway point of the mountain top, Zhou Zhou walked slowly along the mountain road. Although he had props that could take him directly to the top of the mountain, there was no time limit for clearing the dungeon, so it didn't matter if he went up slowly. He could also look for where Elvia had gone along the way.

Zhou Zhou walked slowly on the way to the top of the mountain, stopping from time to time to look for people around him. He also picked a few small wild flowers and held them in his hands. He looked relaxed and more like someone who was out for an outing.

After identifying the impostor, Elvia also quickly moved from the foot of the mountain to the top. Although the two people were walking from different directions, their goals at this time were the same.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Both of them had the ability of night vision, so it was naturally easy for them to walk, but it was not so easy for others.

A Yu had discovered that there was something wrong with Xiao Zhi a long time ago. After waking up, he saw that Xiao Zhi's personality was completely different from the original owner. He didn't know who this person was, so he could only pretend to be nice to her and finally took the opportunity to escape.

The mountain path was too obvious, so he could only choose to walk on those remote and overgrown paths. However, in this silent mountain, besides the sound of his own breathing and footsteps, there was another sound that was like a maggot attached to his bones, and he could not get rid of it no matter which direction he ran.

"Ayu, Ayu, wait for me." A calm female voice sounded behind him. Judging from the voice, she was less than one meter away from him.

A Yu felt a chill on his back and ran faster, but the person behind him was still calling him. There was no sound of panting from running, nor any sound of grass crackling or footsteps. It was as if the person behind him was growing behind him.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. A Yu didn't even dare to look behind him, for fear of seeing something that he couldn't accept psychologically.

How can I get rid of the person behind me?

As A Yu was thinking, he suddenly found a forest on the hillside in front of him. Without thinking too much, he immediately ran towards the forest.

Because the trees in the woods were too dense and interfered with his vision, he quickly left the people behind him this time.

Xiaozhi couldn't find Ayu, so she stopped and looked at the dense forest and shouted worriedly: "Ayu, where are you? I can't find you. I'm a little scared. Come out quickly."

Both the voice and appearance, including the worry expressed at the right time, are exactly the same as Xiaozhi.

A Yu, who was hiding behind a tree, felt his chest heaving violently. He covered his mouth with one hand to prevent his breathing from being heard by the other party. With his other hand, he held a dead tree trunk he had picked up from the ground. The trunk was as thick as his arm and was just the right size for him to hold in one hand.

Xiaozhi was still looking for Ayu in the woods. She walked slowly forward, looking around, calling Ayu's name and expressing her fear.

A Yu heard the other party's voice slowly approaching from not far away, and listened to the sound she made when she stepped on the dead branches, constantly judging the other party's position.

When the sound was about to approach him, he slowly moved around, appeared behind Xiaozhi, and hit Xiaozhi on the back of the head with the stick in his hand without hesitation.

“Crash!”

When the thick wooden stick hit the back of her head, a big hole instantly appeared on the back of her ponytail, and tiny mirror fragments kept falling from the back of her head. There was nothing in her brain, and only the side close to her skin reflected Ayu's distorted and terrified face.

As the head shattered, Xiaozhi slowly turned her head. She finally found Ayu. The worry on her face instantly turned into joy: "Ayu, where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time."

A Yu was still holding the wooden stick in his hand, but his legs were shaking. What on earth was this?

Xiaozhi seemed to be completely unaware of the abnormality at the back of her head. Seeing Ayu's horrified face, she approached him in confusion: "Ayu, what's wrong with you?"

The usually calm and indifferent man tightly grasped the stick and shouted at the other party: "Don't come over here!"

Xiaozhi was startled by the sound. She stopped where she was and blinked in confusion. She asked slowly, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiaozhi found that the other party was just trembling and had no intention of replying. She thought about it and took a few steps forward worriedly.

“Ahhhhhhh~”

Seeing that unknown thing approaching him, A Yu gripped the wooden stick tightly and swung it at the other party's head again.

“Crash!”

Fragments flew everywhere and Xiaozhi's head was half smashed.

She slowly touched the remaining half of her face and head, and looked at Ayu with her only remaining eye, with a slightly confused expression: "Ayu, why did you hit me?"

Not dead yet!

A Yu raised the wooden stick again tremblingly, his eyes were bloodshot, he gritted his teeth and swung the stick fiercely at the other party.

One stick, two sticks... As the mirror fragments flew everywhere, he could finally no longer see that terrifying face.

Xiaozhi, who had lost her head, was still groping forward with her hands, as if trying to find Ayu's location. A Yu smashed the opponent's hands again. Xiao Zhi, who was left with only his feet, took a few steps randomly and was smashed all over by A Yu who caught up with him.

At this time, A Yu was already soaked all over. He took a few steps back, away from the area where the debris was, and sat down on the ground, casually putting the wooden stick in his hand aside.

With his hands on his open knees, Ayu was gasping for breath with a pale face. He had been so nervous that he could finally take a break.

Looking at the debris on the ground not far away, accompanied by the sunlight shining through the shade of the trees, which was still reflecting fragmented golden light, A Yu said to himself: "What on earth is this?"

Why did you pretend to be Xiaozhi? What was your purpose?

After resting for a while, A Yu stood up and looked around. He had to go look for other people.

Just as he turned around and took two steps, Xiaozhi's voice suddenly came from behind him: "Ayu, where are you going?"

This question, which was asked with a hint of naive confusion, made Ayu's scalp tingle, his brain went blank, his heart seemed to be squeezed tightly, and even his breathing almost stopped.

Not knowing what he was thinking, he slowly turned his head and looked behind him. Xiaozhi, who had just been shattered into pieces, was now standing behind him intact, smiling and looking at him with her head tilted.

“Boom!”

His heart beat violently and all the color drained away from A Yu's face. He opened his mouth to ask what the other party was going to do, but something seemed to be blocking his throat and he couldn't ask a single word.

Xiaozhi walked towards him slowly, her high ponytail blown to the side by the wind. The mottled sunlight fell on her, with a slight golden glow, as if this person could reflect light.

“Ahhhhhhh~”

A Yu finally shouted out, and ran away screaming with a distorted face. At this moment, his mind was blank and he could no longer care about anything else.

"Ayu, wait for me." Xiaozhi shouted and chased after him with a little anxiety.

The game of chase between the two did not end until dark. A Yu was almost unable to run, but because he was too scared, he did not stop.

Holding a lighting tool in his hand, he ran in the mountain one step at a time. He didn't know where he was or where to run. The strange creature behind him seemed to be teasing him. It kept a distance from him and called his name from time to time to let him know that it was behind him.

"Let me out, I don't want to play anymore, I want to quit this copy!" A Yu shouted loudly.

There was no response in the dark and empty mountains except for his own echo.

"Ayu, wait for me." Xiaozhi started calling him again.

"Please, stop chasing me. I don't want to do the mission anymore!" An afternoon of chasing exhausted all his strength and courage, and he was on the verge of collapse.

A Yu kept running forward and finally stopped somewhere. The reason he stopped this time was because the person behind him seemed to have not made any sound for a long time.

He looked back with horror, but found nothing behind him. Xiaozhi was gone.

Did he finally get rid of her? Or maybe the other party has lost interest in him.

No matter which one it is, just stop chasing him.

At this time, A Yu was still looking around vigilantly, shrinking his neck and looking around timidly and fearfully with the lighting tool, fearing that Xiao Zhi would pop up from somewhere again.

But when he looked at a certain place, he found a white light there. With his spirit on the verge of collapse, he thought it was another strange thing. He threw down the lighting tools, hugged his head and huddled on the ground, screaming.

"Stop chasing me!"

But this time, he waited for a very long time, waiting for the opponent to come and eliminate him. He really couldn't bear it anymore, but he waited for nothing.

A Yu's breathing was trembling, and he looked extremely miserable. He tentatively picked up a lighting tool from the ground and slowly shone it towards the place where he had seen the light before, but he saw the light again.

His whole body trembled violently, but this time he resisted the urge to drop the lighting tools. He stood up on trembling legs and looked over there vigilantly.

It seemed... it wasn't Xiaozhi. Although he was very scared, he still walked forward slowly. His hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the lighting tools, and his feet were shaking like a sieve. But before he couldn't help but turn around and run away, he finally realized that it was a mirror.

A floor-to-ceiling mirror as tall as a person was placed in the wild, and the light just now was the reflection of his own light.

Remembering the name of the copy, A Yu suddenly had a guess. Could it be that this mirror was related to the exit? If he could find the exit, he wouldn't have to stay in this haunted place.

The thought of passing the level and getting out aroused his last bit of courage. He slowly walked to the mirror, looking around for an exit.

The person in the mirror also looked around with his eyes wandering.

There was nothing around, and A Yu finally looked towards the mirror again. The man in the mirror had messy hair, a ruddy complexion from running for a long time, and messy clothes. His light-colored pants were stained with a lot of green grass juice. He looked completely different from his previous cool and elite appearance.

He subconsciously lowered his head to adjust his clothes, but when he lowered his head, the person in the mirror did not lower his head. He was still looking at himself, or rather, looking at him.

There is really no way to restore the clothes to their original state, so forget it, I'll figure it out after I get out. A Yu frowned slightly and raised his head. When his eyes moved to the mirror, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Why, he in the mirror is smiling.

The curve of the other person's mouth seemed to be fixed, making him look friendly and kind at first glance, but if you look at him for a long time, you will find that his smile is very stiff.

He didn't smile.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his back and forehead, and even his face, which was rosy from running, turned pale in an instant.

The "him" in the mirror still had a ruddy complexion, and she used a lighting tool to illuminate his face, as if appreciating his frightened expression at the moment.

"Ayu, I've been looking for you for a long time." Xiaozhi suddenly appeared behind him, with a smile on her face that was the same arc as the "him" in the mirror.

The person behind me is getting closer, but the person in front of me is still smiling.

The strange scene made him want to run away immediately.

But he couldn't move. His heart was screaming frantically to run quickly, but his feet couldn't move. It was as if they were rooted to the ground. His whole body was so weak that he couldn't even take a step.

The "Ayu" in the mirror looked him up and down, and suddenly stretched out a hand from the mirror and pulled him into the mirror.

The flat mirror surface rippled, then returned to calm, and Xiaozhi disappeared again...

Ayu was eliminated.

Zhou Zhou, who was walking on the mountain road, suddenly turned his head and looked somewhere. He seemed to hear someone talking, as if saying not to chase him anymore.

Is there anyone there? Are you a player?

Zhou Zhou looked at a certain place and blinked, then decided to go and take a look.

The author has something to say:

She chased, he fled, and neither of them could escape.

No matter how many times, they will recover and find each other.

Zhou Zhou, who was standing aside, looked at their love, then looked at Elvia who couldn't even put it together, and cried with envy.
