Although it was easy for Elvia to deal with the five impostors behind, these people could recondense and revive even if they turned into debris, which was very troublesome. It was impossible to defeat them completely.
Elvia took Zhou Zhou with him and ran to the place where the driver got off the car to catch sheep. He asked Zhou Zhou to look for any clues nearby, while he stood behind to block these people from getting close.
The two of them divided the work and Zhou Zhou searched carefully nearby, but found nothing after searching for a long time.
There were no traces of cars on the mountain road, nor any teeth marks from lambs walking or chewing. It was as if they had been wiped out by an invisible hand, leaving no trace at all.
"How is it?" Alvia walked over. Behind him, the ground was full of debris. It would take two minutes for these people to recover from the debris, so Alvia was not in a hurry.
"Nothing."
"Okay, let's go to the next place." Alvia said as she walked forward, and Zhou quickly held Alvia's hand.
The people behind him gradually returned to their original state, and Zhou Zhou and Elvia ran towards the mountain road ahead together.
If the people behind catch up, Elvia will deal with them.
Soon, they arrived at the place where they fell off the cliff.
This is a very sharp corner, but the driver did not turn at the time. Instead, he accelerated and rushed forward. There were no guardrails on the mountain road here, and there was no time to take any protective measures.
Zhou Zhou continued to look for clues, and Elvi stopped the people behind him.
Zhou Zhou found nothing. All traces had been erased, or they simply did not exist.
After turning the people behind him into debris on the ground again, Elvia walked over slowly.
"Still found nothing." Zhou Zhou said while squatting on the edge of the cliff and looking up.
Alvia nodded. In fact, he had guessed this result. After all, he had taken a look here before and found nothing.
However, seeing the five counterfeit players behind him staggering to their feet again, and this time their resurrection time was half a minute shorter, and their rushing expressions became more and more anxious, Elvia concluded that there must be something wrong with this place.
The five players behind them gradually approached them, and their steps became faster and faster.
In fact, there is still one place they haven't looked for. Elvia glanced down the cliff. Since there were no clues anywhere on the mountain, would they make any new discoveries if they fell down from the same place again?
Zhou Zhou seemed to understand Elvia's eyes and also looked down.
Looking at the nearly vertical cliff below, he silently shrank back, stood up and asked with a hint of emotion: "Is it really all we can do now, to die for love?"
Alvia: “…”
The five players behind them were only a few steps away from them. Elvia didn't have time to care about Zhou Zhou's nonsense words. She picked him up and jumped down.
This should be the place. After all, the fake guy behind them didn't extend his hand to push them down, but to pull them back.
The purpose of these NPCs is to eliminate them, how could they be so kind as to want to save them.
But the counterfeit players were a step too late, and the two men jumped off the cliff without any hesitation.
The five impostors watched helplessly as the two men disappeared in mid-air. Every part of their bodies gradually decomposed into tiny particles, starting with their hands. When the last gust of wind blew, nothing was left.
The two people who jumped off the cliff fainted again. When Zhou Zhou woke up, he found himself lying on the grass. The scene was exactly the same as the last time he woke up from the car accident, and the people around him were the same.
Alvia half-knelt beside him. Seeing Zhou Zhou wake up, she didn't show any extra expression: "Awake?"
Sure enough, it was the familiar Al. Zhou Zhou sat up and smiled at him: "Al!"
Seeing that he looked very happy, Alvia couldn't help but ask, "Are you not afraid that I'm fake?"
Zhou Zhou pointed at his hand and saw that Elvia was still holding the little wild flowers he had given her. Even though they had just fought with a few counterfeits for a long time, these timid little wild flowers did not suffer any damage.
"Have you noticed? This place is different from before." Elvia asked, holding the flowers in one hand.
What's different? Zhou Zhou was stunned and looked around. The scenery looked exactly the same, but the only difference was... the sound!
Zhou Zhou heard that the mountain when he woke up last time was too quiet. Although it is very quiet here, the sounds of insects or birds can be heard from the mountains from time to time. Dead silence and quietness are two completely different feelings.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou had discovered it, Elvia also looked up at the mountain. Sure enough, his guess was correct. When they fell off the cliff, they did not fall directly under the cliff, but arrived in another world, a world in a mirror. If they could not find the exit, they would probably have to wander in the mountains forever.
"Then if we go down the mountain now, can we walk directly back to Xuanle Street and complete the mission?" Zhou Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up. After all, the entrances and exits of all the previous copies were basically the same. They entered from Xuanle Street, so now they just need to walk out to pass the level.
Alvia: "It probably won't be that easy, but we can give it a try."
Although Zhou Zhou knew that it would not be that simple, after all, if this was where they had the car accident, then the clue to the exit would most likely be with the driver.
The two decided to try both methods. They first went to the scene of the accident and found traces of the vehicle driving there, but there was no car nearby and no driver.
Since they couldn't find it here, they could only try their luck at the foot of the mountain.
But when the two reached the foot of the mountain, they found that they couldn't get out at all. Although I could clearly see the scenery farther away, I kept circling at the foot of the mountain. No matter how I walked, I couldn't leave the area where the mountain was.
"What should we do now?" Zhou Zhou walked around several times and seemed to find this method of walking in a maze very interesting. He could clearly see the road not far away and could cross it in a few steps, but no matter which direction he walked, he could not reach it, as if they were standing still.
Alvia had already stopped and watched Zhou Zhou walking around for fun. "Let's look for clues in the mountains. Don't you want to know what happened to the man in the mirror who rolled down the mountain? They might be here."
yes! The person in the mirror who rolled down the hillside because he let go might be here. Zhou Zhou stopped walking around and quickly called Elvia to go to where he found the mirror.
Zhou Zhou was anxious to see what happened to the person in the mirror. As a result, when they walked to the corresponding place, they found six mirrors here. Six exactly the same full-length mirrors, exactly the same as the one Zhou Zhou had broken before, and these mirrors could reflect the figures of both of them.
Unlike the piece that Zhou Zhou broke before, it couldn't reflect Zhou Zhou at all.
And the people in the mirror were not seen at the foot of the hill. After all, a night had passed. Besides, Elvia felt that the people in the mirror might be in other mirror worlds.
But Zhou Zhou was very sure that the area covered by grass and trees was indeed missing a part, exactly the same as what he saw in the mirror last night.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou reached out and poked the mirror closest to him. As a result, ripples appeared on the mirror. Zhou Zhou hurriedly continued to poke the mirror with his fingers.
Elvia stood beside Zhou Zhou and looked at the mirror.
The ripples on the water became bigger and bigger, from the slight ripples at the beginning to constant ups and downs. In the end, Zhou Zhou clearly felt as if he had punctured something, and his entire hand was stretched into the mirror.
"El El, you can go in now, let's go in quickly." Zhou Zhou had wanted to go in before, but he always missed the chance. Now he finally had the chance to enter the mirror, so he naturally couldn't miss it. While shouting Elvia, he walked towards the mirror.
After he passed through a film-like substance, he found himself in a dark passage, and the mirror behind him gradually became smaller and finally disappeared.
Zhou Zhou found that Al did not come in.
Al was clearly behind him, and after half of Zhou Zhou's body entered the mirror, he clearly felt his other hand being held by Al, and then the other party entered the mirror with him, but he disappeared after entering.
Zhou Zhou stared at the direction where the mirror disappeared. After a long time, there was still no movement. The mirror did not appear, and Al did not appear either.
Didn't Al have time to come in? Or was I teleported to another place after entering?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou could only continue walking to the right towards the passage.
This dark passage was filled with mirrors, ranging from wall-high mirrors to palm-sized mirrors in the corners, in all shapes and sizes. Whenever he walked in front of a mirror, his figure would appear. Zhou Zhou observed the mirrors left and right as he walked.
Light gradually became visible ahead, and Zhou Zhou continued to move forward. When he walked out of the passage, a very familiar scene appeared before his eyes.
He was still on the mountain, right at the foot of the place where he had been circling before.
But this should be a world in the mirror.
Because Zhou Zhou saw a very flat area at the foot of the mountain with a few chairs and a barbecue grill.
Several identical drivers sat there chatting and eating barbecue, and with the surrounding scenery, it was basically like they were having a picnic here.
At that time, you could go to both ends of the passage, but Zhou Zhou chose the right passage without hesitation because he smelled barbecue from the right.
The six drivers who looked exactly the same had not yet finished eating the skewers in their hands when they met Zhou Zhou who came out of the passage. The drivers looked at him in amazement.
One of the drivers, who was originally lying leisurely on a chair, was so shocked when he saw Zhou Zhou that he fell off the chair: "Fuck!"
He got up from the ground and pointed at Zhou Zhou with a trembling finger: "Why are you here!"
Zhou Zhou looked at the six drivers. Not only were their clothes exactly the same, but even their expressions of surprise were very similar. Zhou Zhou couldn't tell who was who. It was just that the driver who was pointing at him had the biggest reaction. Could it be the driver who picked them up at Xuanle Street? After observing carefully for a while, it seemed that he was not the driver.
"I came in through the mirror."
The other drivers had complicated expressions when they saw this. It was only the second day and a player arrived here. The speed of clearing the level was too fast.
"Okay, since you can get here, you can successfully pass the customs as long as you pass the last level." One of the drivers waved his hand and said.
Zhou Zhou looked back and then at the drivers: "Actually, I came here to apologize. I accidentally made a person in the mirror fall last night, and I also broke the mirror. I don't know how he is now."
Five of the drivers looked at their companion who had fallen off the chair. No wonder he came back limping and didn't say anything when asked what happened. It turned out that he was cheated by the player.
The driver was furious: "...No need to look, I'm not dead yet."
Zhou Zhou stared at his face in surprise. Could he be the person in the mirror last night? But his appearance, figure and voice are completely different from mine.
Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, the driver took a few steps forward and stood in front of him. Then he changed into his appearance in front of Zhou Zhou, and said unhappily: "Now you believe it."
Although his face was as delicate and well-behaved as Zhou Zhou's, the driver now looked like a delinquent version of Zhou Zhou, with a hint of ruffian spirit, like a young bad boy.
Zhou Zhou nodded and believed it: "I'm sorry for what happened before. I didn't let you go on purpose. I just saw that you didn't want to come out."
The other person shrugged: "Okay, it's not a big deal anyway, I forgive you." Then he turned back into the driver.
"Since you can find this place the next day, go and pass the last checkpoint now," another driver kindly reminded.
Zhou Zhou took another look at the passage behind him, pursed his lips, and looked very embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Zhou: "My companion should have come in as well, but not with me."
"What's going on?"
Zhou Zhou told several drivers what happened before. He did feel that Al came in with him, but after that he was alone.
After hearing this, the drivers' expressions did not change much. Instead, they looked as if they were used to it. "Don't wait. He will probably be eliminated soon. Go find him at the resurrection point after you pass the level."
