The night was thick and Zhou Zhou was walking alone in the dark mountains, stopping and starting.
He only heard the sound just now, and no other sound was heard after that. At first, he was indeed walking in the direction of the sound, but now he could no longer find the source of the sound.
After looking around again and again, Zhou Zhou didn't find any signs of anyone passing by. He looked around in distress, not knowing where to go for a moment.
The mountains were exceptionally quiet at night. He tentatively walked a short distance in each direction and finally saw a faint light.
Are there any players there? Zhou Zhou's eyes lit up and he immediately walked over there.
He got closer and closer to the light source and found a lighting tool placed casually on the grass. The light of the lighting tool was directly facing a life-size mirror placed on the open space, and the light he saw was reflected from the mirror.
Zhou Zhou slowly approached and picked up the lighting tool from the ground. It should have been left by a player.
But where did the players go?
Zhou Zhou, holding the lighting tool, looked around and didn't see anyone.
While he was looking around, the "him" in the mirror was staring at him.
The two lighting tools inside and outside the mirror illuminated the surrounding area. The person in the mirror looked exactly like Zhou Zhou from any angle, except that the upward curve of his mouth was very strange.
Not finding anyone, Zhou Zhou looked at the mirror. He blinked at the mirror, and the person in the mirror also blinked.
Why is there a mirror here?
Although he was very confused, Zhou Zhou's first reaction was to look in the mirror.
After walking in the mountain for a long time, Zhou Zhou's hair was messy. His hair was originally slightly curly, and now it was blown into a mess by the wind. He smoothed his hair with his hands and stared at himself in the mirror for a long time. His appearance and clothes were good and there was no need to tidy them up.
Um?
Zhou Zhou frowned. Why did his face in the mirror look a little stiff? Could it be that... he had been blown by the wind for too long?
He rubbed both sides of his face with one hand, but he still looked the same as before, without any change.
Just when he was puzzled, he found that the frowning "he" slowly relaxed his expression and then turned into a smile. Zhou Zhou subconsciously touched the corner of his mouth, but the "him" in the mirror had his hands hanging at his sides and did not raise his hands.
His movements were out of sync with his reflection in the mirror. Zhou Zhou finally realized something was wrong and stared closely at the person in the mirror. Except for the movements and expressions, the person was exactly the same as him.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhou took a few small steps back, and the smile on the corner of the mouth of "him" in the mirror widened, as if he was mocking Zhou Zhou's cowardice.
I thought Zhou Zhou would scream and run away, but he actually walked back with the same pace, less than ten centimeters away from the mirror.
Zhou Zhou stared at himself in the mirror with some curiosity. At first, their movements were synchronized, but later the mirror seemed to have its own ideas. A person who looked exactly like him stood there, smiling, with eyes that were very lively. No matter whether he walked far or near, he kept staring at him.
Zhou Zhou slowly extended an index finger and moved closer to the mirror.
When his fingers touched the mirror, the mirror surface was like water waves, with faint ripples centered on the place where he touched, and his fingertips could clearly feel the cold and hard touch.
Zhou Zhou stared at the mirror closely. Nothing happened after the ripples disappeared. He was about to step back when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his fingers!
With eyes wide open in surprise, Zhou Zhou looked at the "him" in the mirror with a weird smile. A hand actually stretched out from the mirror to grab his fingers, then stretched out another hand, grabbed his arm tightly, and then pulled him into the mirror. The lighting tool that had been in the hands of the person in the mirror also disappeared. He grabbed Zhou Zhou with both hands and tried to drag him into the mirror.
Zhou Zhou immediately resisted, dropped the lighting tools with his other hand, and grabbed the other person's arm to pull him out.
The two identical people are like playing a tug-of-war, each trying to pull the other to their side.
The out-of-place mirror in the wilderness, the person in the mirror who looks exactly like himself but behaves strangely, these are a kind of mental torture for other players, but for Zhou Zhou, it becomes a physical confrontation.
The person in the mirror not only looked exactly like Zhou Zhou, but also had almost the same strength as Zhou Zhou. The two of them pulled each other for a long time, but neither of them succeeded.
Before, when he was in the Love Academy, Zhou Zhou read all the books in the library by himself, so he had some experience with tug-of-war. He lowered his center of gravity, straightened his legs, and slowly pulled the other person out of the mirror.
Half of the person in the mirror was about to come out of the mirror. The face that was originally wearing a weird smile immediately became panicked. "He" used one hand to support the inner frame, loosened his hand that was pulling Zhou Zhou, and pulled his own hand back hard, while shouting loudly: "No, no!"
Zhou Zhou's face and voice were used, and at this time Zhou Zhou, who was grunting and playing tug-of-war, always had a very strange feeling, as if he was competing with himself. Seeing the terrified look on the face of the person opposite him, he thought about it and decided to let go of his hand. After all, the person opposite him seemed very reluctant to come out.
Zhou Zhou loosened his hand without any warning, and the "Zhou Zhou" on the other side who was still trying hard to pull his hand back was caught off guard and had no time to relieve the force, and suddenly lost his balance and fell back.
In the end, Zhou Zhou only saw "him" looking at him with shocked eyes, mixed with a little anger and disbelief, then he rolled on the grass and disappeared from the mirror.
At this moment, there was only scenery in the mirror, but no "Zhou Zhou".
Zhou Zhou pursed his lips and looked around guiltily, as if he had accidentally done something bad.
He took a step forward and approached the mirror again. There was no reflection of his figure in the mirror. There was only the empty grass swaying left and right in the wind. Zhou Zhou looked left and right in the mirror but could not find "himself" who had rolled away.
He touched the mirror again, but this time there was no change on the mirror, nor were there the ripples similar to water waves he had seen before. It had turned into a real mirror, although there was still no reflection of himself in it.
Zhou Zhou knocked on the mirror gently as if knocking on the door, and shouted, "Are you there? Are you okay?"
I put my ear to the mirror, expecting the person in the mirror to respond, but I heard nothing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to let go. I just saw that you didn't want to come out, so I let go. I should have told you in advance, I'm really sorry!" Zhou Zhou shouted at the mirror again.
But there was still no movement in the mirror.
Zhou Zhou stared at the mirror in confusion. Could it be that the person was angry and didn't want to pay attention to him?
Zhou Zhou didn't get a response from the other party, so he sighed, bent down and picked up the lighting tools from the ground, but his peripheral vision saw the other side of the hillside.
He walked over there with the lighting tool, but found that under the dense grass, there was a very steep slope.
He came down from diagonally above, which was on the other side, and the slope was covered by grass, so it couldn't be seen without careful observation.
Could it be that...
Zhou Zhou slowly turned his head and looked at the environment reflected in the mirror, which was exactly the same as the surrounding environment.
No way! The person in the mirror must have fallen from here!
Zhou Zhou immediately moved closer to the mirror again and nervously observed the movements in the mirror. At this time, because there was no image of himself in the mirror, he could see the scenery inside clearly.
He finally discovered a small difference. The place where the slope was located, the area covered by weeds, seemed to be missing a small part.
It really fell down!
"Are you okay? Did you fall?!"
Zhou Zhou started shouting at the other person in the mirror again, but still got no response. He even used his head to hold the mirror up, trying to see if he could get into the mirror, but failed.
If I had known earlier, I would not have competed with the other party and would have been directly dragged in by the other party, and this would not have happened, Zhou Zhou thought in annoyance.
He sat next to the mirror with his knees hugged, occasionally turning sideways to see if the person in the mirror had appeared, and then shouting a few words. He stayed like this for several hours, and the various events that happened with the person in the mirror seemed like his own fantasy.
Not knowing where Al was now, Zhou Zhou was getting a little impatient. Although he was very patient, he couldn't sit still like this any longer. He could neither wait for other players to come over nor for the person in the mirror to come back.
He didn't really like the feeling of being alone here, especially since it was so quiet here, almost the same as the feeling at Love Academy.
He likes crowded and lively places. Even in the wilderness, he can have someone accompany him. But there is nothing here. It is so quiet that it seems as if the whole world has become just him again.
It was almost dawn, and Zhou Zhou finally decided to continue walking towards the top of the mountain.
But before that, he had one more thing to do.
Zhou Zhou put the lighting tools into his own system. All items purchased in the store can be put back into his system, even those from other players. Later, they met other players and returned it to them. After all, the players who came in with them knew each other, and the lighting tool could be delivered to the owner by handing it to any one of them.
Then Zhou Zhou stood in front of the mirror and said to it with a solemn oath: "Don't worry, I will be responsible."
Then pick up the mirror.
This rectangular mirror is not fixed to the ground. It can be lifted up and is not heavy. It is similar to the one-meter-high dressing mirror that is usually placed at home.
Zhou Zhou grabbed both sides of the mirror with both hands, lifted the mirror horizontally, then left here and headed towards the top of the mountain. Although the mirror is not heavy, it is easy to hit something when holding it horizontally, and the mirror looks very thin. He must be careful, otherwise what if the mirror breaks? The person inside may not be able to get out.
While Zhou Zhou and the person in the mirror were playing tug-of-war, Elvia had already reached the top of the mountain. From the top, he looked down at the entire mountainside, but there were too many weeds on the mountain. The vegetation in some places was very lush, and there were even a few slanted patches of woods blocking the view. He could not see the other players at all, let alone Zhou Zhou.
Alvia lowered her eyes slightly, no longer looking down to search, but thinking quietly.
We don't have much information right now. One of the things is that everyone is separated. After waking up, there will be an impostor who looks exactly like their companion following them. Only by saying specific sentences can they make the impostor disappear.
The second is the name of the copy - Mirror World. From the name of the copy, it can be inferred that either they are already in the mirror world, or the exit is in the mirror world and they need to find it. We just don't know which situation they are in now.
However, the most urgent task is to find Zhou Zhou first. According to Zhou Zhou's sensitivity, he will definitely be able to find out that the person following him is fake, but if no specific sentences are said, will the fake person hurt Zhou Zhou? After all, their goal is definitely to eliminate more players.
His mental power could not spread out. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, his mental power would be blocked wherever he went.
I originally thought that I might be able to find Zhou Zhou by looking down from the top of the mountain, but I still found nothing. The whole mountain was extremely silent. Now it seems that I can only search from different locations step by step.
Elvia started looking for Zhou Zhou's traces from the top of the mountain. He searched downwards in a spiral shape with the top of the mountain as the center. This time he did not rush forward, but searched inch by inch for clues left by others.
Someone had been to the top of the mountain, but the traces disappeared at the edge of the cliff, so they must have been eliminated.
When approaching the halfway point of the mountain, the player's traces were found from the broken grass leaves. Elvia continued to search along the trail, and this trace also disappeared somewhere. At the same time, there were footprints of another person in this place, and he stayed here for a while before leaving.
Continuing his search based on these clues, Elvia discovered that the man went to the top of the mountain. When it was dawn, he finally found him.
And this person was exactly Zhou Zhou whom he was looking for.
But Zhou Zhou seemed to be holding something in his hands, and walking was very difficult.
Gradually approaching the other party, Elvia discovered that it was a mirror. Zhou Zhou was holding a mirror that was almost as tall as him and walking carefully towards the top of the mountain.
Zhou Zhou also noticed Elvia behind him, and he recognized her as the real El at a glance.
Finally found Al!
Zhou Zhou was very happy. He didn't like being alone, and he was really happy to see someone familiar appear. The joy of seeing Al made him do a habitual action.
"Al~" Zhou Zhou waved at him happily.
“Bang!”
The mirror broke in two.
Zhou Zhou:! ! !
