Zhou Zhou was puzzled: "Why was he eliminated?"
One of the drivers sat back in his chair, crossed his legs and continued to eat the kebab in his hand: "Do you know why we want to pull the players into the mirror?"
Zhou Zhou shook his head.
"Once you enter the mirror, you will fall into hallucinations and see the things you fear the most. If you cannot realize that what appears before your eyes is an illusion, you will be eliminated when the time is up. Of course, if you can wake up, you will come here like you."
Zhou Zhou was very confused: "But after I came out of the mirror, I arrived at the passage and didn't see any illusions. Are you an illusion of mine?"
Drivers: “…You ended up here after you came in through the mirror?”
Several other drivers gathered around in surprise, looking Zhou Zhou up and down: "Have you never been afraid of anything since you were a child?"
Zhou Zhou said without hesitation: "Yes, I am afraid of being alone."
"Then why didn't you hallucinate?"
Zhou Zhou didn’t know.
The drivers didn't understand either. Several of them circled Zhou Zhou, stroking their chins, observing what was different about him. Logically speaking, their copy had been tested in advance, and every player who had entered through the mirror before had fallen into their own illusion without exception, so there was no possibility of any error.
The driver, who was lying on the chair, saw his companions still foolishly circling around a player and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Why don't you care why he doesn't have hallucinations? Anyway, there has been such a person all along, and it doesn't affect anything. Why don't we just let him pass the last level and get out quickly?"
But his companions didn't seem to think so: "What if other players are like him? Then the difficulty of the dungeon we designed with great difficulty will be reduced, and the points earned will also be reduced. Is this okay?"
"Yeah, we have to know the reason."
After observing to no avail, the driver asked directly: "What were you thinking when you entered the mirror?"
Zhou Zhou was stunned. What was he thinking? It seems like he wants to find the person in the mirror and apologize to him quickly? No, this was the thought in his mind before he came in. When he entered the mirror... he seemed to have no thoughts at all.
Zhou Zhou remembered that the moment he stepped into the mirror, Al held one of his hands from behind. Then he felt his heart suddenly calmed down, and the next moment he appeared in the passage alone.
I told the driver in front of me all this honestly. He and a few other people were discussing something, but the driver on the chair seemed to have no interest in it at all. He finished the kebabs in his hand and continued to take them from the grill, completely unconcerned about what his companions were doing.
Seeing the young player standing there staring at him eagerly, he thought for a moment and handed a string of food to Zhou Zhou: "Eat?"
Zhou Zhou quickly ran over to get it: "Thank you."
The driver put one hand behind his head and continued to eat the kebab: "If you want to eat it, take it from the shelf."
"Thank you." Zhou Zhou thanked him again, but looking at the kebabs in his hand, he took out a few bottles of drinks from his system: "Here you go."
The driver looked up at the drink in Zhou Zhou's hand and took it without hesitation: "You're quite considerate."
Looking at Zhou Zhou who blew on the mutton skewers seriously and then ate them in small bites, he also felt that this person was a bit interesting. After all, it was still rare to find players who used points to buy useless food in the early stages of the game.
Zhou Zhou not only took out some drinks, but also other food, and he and the driver started eating here.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhou Zhou said to the driver in the chair.
Driver: "As long as it's not the way to pass the last level, the rest is up to you."
"Do you all look like this?" Zhou Zhou had wanted to ask this question before, but there was never a right time. These drivers can transform into other people's appearances, so what do they originally look like? Is it what it looks like now? Or is it that everyone is different, but they become exactly the same just for the sake of copy requirements.
The driver snorted and chuckled. “This also has something to do with clearing the dungeon. But since you look pleasing to the eye, it’s okay for me to tell you. Only one of us looks like this. The rest of us look different. People of the Mirror Tribe can use special mirrors to transform themselves into the appearance of the person who has looked into the special mirror. They can also use these mirrors to travel freely to other places.”
"But you don't have to worry. In reality, only our own planet has this kind of mirror, and we won't sell it to people from other planets. The rules of our own tribe are very strict, and we won't do anything like peeping or sneaking into other people's homes."
Zhou Zhou was amazed: "How amazing."
"Amazing?" The driver raised his eyebrows, but his attitude softened visibly: "Don't you think it's weird and disgusting?"
“Being able to travel through the mirror and change into other people’s appearances is really amazing. I wish I could be that amazing.” Zhou Zhou didn’t know how sincere his expression was when he was envious of the other person. Little stars seemed to be popping out of his eyes.
The other drivers finally finished their discussion and happened to hear the conversation between Zhou Zhou and his companions.
Driver No. 1: "Come, eat, eat."
Driver No. 2: "Drink, drink, drink."
Driver No. 3: "Would you like it more spicy?"
Driver No. 4: "Sit down and eat. Sit down and eat."
The other two drivers also enthusiastically pushed Zhou Zhou into the chair.
The skewer in Zhou Zhou's hand that had been eaten was replaced by driver No. 5 with a handful of meat skewers.
Looking at these drivers who suddenly became very enthusiastic, Zhou Zhou was a little confused. What happened to them suddenly?
The drivers seemed to be in a good mood suddenly and enthusiastically invited Zhou Zhou to have barbecue.
"Hahaha, we just analyzed it. It's probably because the fear deep in your heart was soothed by your companions the moment you entered the mirror, so you broke the illusion and appeared in the passage directly."
“Haha, you’re lucky. You can get here the next day. You will definitely get a lot of points after you get out. After all, the most important settlement data in the mirror world is the time it takes to clear a level.”
"Hehehe, indeed, but your companions are not so lucky."
"Haha, let me help you check if your companion has been eliminated. After you get out, you can go directly to the resurrection point to find him."
"Haha, do you know where the resurrection point is? I'll help you check it out."
These drivers, who laughed devilishly as soon as they opened their mouths, had such strange attitudes that Zhou Zhou felt restrained. What was wrong with them?
The driver who had been sitting in the chair was more reliable. Seeing these bastards scare a young man silly, he felt helpless and amused, and could only comfort Zhou Zhou: "These people are sick, don't worry about them, you eat first, and then go to the last level after you finish eating."
Zhou Zhou nodded, took a bite of the skewer, then looked up at one of the drivers and tried to speak several times, but the other party asked him earnestly if he wanted to eat more barbecue.
"Um, you just said you wanted to help see where your companions are?" Zhou Zhou whispered.
The driver had just opened the task panel, but hadn't looked at it carefully. When he heard Zhou Zhou asking, he immediately flipped through it.
"Huh?" The driver frowned.
Zhou Zhou immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"Your companion has run too far. It's only been a short while, and he's already reached the third level of illusion. Has anyone of us ever been to the third level before?" Driver No. 3 asked his companion.
Driver No. 5 thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are on the first floor. A few timid ones have been to the second floor. No one has been to the third or fourth floor."
Driver No. 2 stuffed another piece of barbecue into Zhou Zhou's hand and asked, "Is your companion timid?"
Unable to understand what they were talking about, Zhou Zhou was a little anxious: "Thank you, you really don't have to give me any more. Al is very courageous, he is very powerful, the most powerful person I have ever seen."
"That's strange, how did he get there?"
Driver No. 6, who was lying on the chair, saw Zhou Zhou listening to them in confusion, as if trying hard to understand, so he explained to him: "Hallucinations evolve based on the things that people fear most in their hearts, and each level of classification is the degree of fear of these things. The deeper the fear, the deeper the hallucination, and the more difficult it will be to wake up."
"What should we do then?" Zhou Zhou understood this time.
"He can't get out on his own in this condition, so we need to go in and bring him out." Driver No. 6 said, standing up from his chair: "I'll go."
Driver No. 1 walked directly into the passage not far away, then took out a huge mirror and placed it on the open space.
Driver No. 6 finished the skewer in his hand, clapped his hands and walked towards the mirror: "I will bring him here directly later. By then, even if the two of you go out of the customs exit together, he will be eliminated."
After saying that, he walked directly into the mirror.
Zhou Zhou stood in front of the mirror waiting, while the remaining five drivers continued to make barbecue and kept passing it to Zhou Zhou so that he could eat more.
Zhou Zhou couldn't refuse, so he could only sit on the chair that driver No. 2 moved to the side of the mirror, eating while waiting for driver No. 6 and Al to come back.
Not long after, driver No. 6 came back, but the way he came back was wrong. He flew directly out of the mirror.
"Hey, what's wrong with this guy?" Driver No. 6, who flew out and fell to the ground, stood up cursing. The other drivers were curious about their companion's strange way of returning, so they put down what they were holding and surrounded him.
And where are the people he brought with him? Why didn't the player come out?
Zhou Zhou also hurried forward and saw the blue eyes of driver No. 6 at a glance.
“…What’s going on?”
The other party bared his teeth and replied: "Your good friend beat me!"
The other drivers not only did not care about their injured companion, but pointed at his eyes and laughed: "How could you be beaten like this by a player who was in a hallucination?"
Number 6 snorted coldly: "You don't know how strong that boy is, and how defensive he is..."
"Hahaha……"
“Hehe…”
Driver No. 6 was angry: "Then go in and bring him out!"
Driver No. 5 turned to look at Zhou Zhou and said, "Don't worry. This guy would never sit if he could lie down all day long. He has no strength at all. Let's go get your companion out."
Zhou Zhou thought about the strength that Al had shown in the game, and felt that the remaining drivers were probably...
After laughing at his companion, driver No. 1 walked into the mirror confidently. Before entering, he assured Zhou Zhou that he would not be like No. 6 who was powerless.
Not long after, No. 1 also flew out, with a dark circle under his eyes.
Next is No. 2, No. 3, No. 4...
Zhou Zhou couldn't stop him. He guessed that Al, who was in a hallucination, would definitely defend himself when he saw a stranger. Besides, the drivers couldn't beat him and didn't want him to get killed again. However, the drivers always felt that the mirror world was their home. How could they survive in the future if they couldn't even deal with a player? They also thought that the other companions were beaten because they were too weak. If it were them, they would definitely be able to bring the players out safely.
With this mentality, all six drivers had a black eye socket, and probably because Al in the hallucination found these people too annoying, driver No. 5, who went in last, was given an extra eye socket, and he had two black eye sockets.
In the end, the open space was full of drivers lying down, but Al had not come out yet.
“Damn it, damn it. He was already on the fourth floor when I went in. Should we report to the system to force him to quit the game? Otherwise, he might not wake up in the end.” Driver No. 5, who had two blue eye sockets, said with a grin, touching his eyes.
"What do you mean you can't wake him up?" Zhou Zhou was anxious.
"The fourth level is a world he built himself. He might be trapped in this world forever and unable to wake up. Now he has to force the system offline so that he can wake up." Driver No. 6 explained with a frown. Who would have thought that a copy that had been running normally would have such a situation? If the players cannot wake up, they will definitely be punished.
"Will there be any impact if I'm forced to wake up?" Zhou Zhou asked.
Driver No. 1 gestured with his fingers: "Maybe a little bit, but it won't have a big impact."
"I've long told you not to go so deep into the illusion part, but you insisted on saying it's impossible for a player to get in. Now look what's going on, it's really going to kill people." Driver No. 2 cursed.
"dead!"
"No, no, he's exaggerating. He won't die. It's just that your companion must have suffered a lot of psychological trauma, so he became like this. These hallucinations may arouse his negative emotions. Even if he wakes up, it may take some time for him to digest these emotions."
Zhou Zhou watched the drivers open the task panel and wanted to write the application report, then looked at the mirror behind him and asked, "Can I go in?"
Driver No. 5's eyes lit up: "Yes, you go in and bring him out, so that our copy will not be affected."
He was kicked by driver No. 6: "What's okay? What if that one doesn't come out and this one gets stuck again?"
Driver No. 5 said angrily, "Aren't they companions? That player must not be on high alert against him. If we bring them out directly, it won't have any impact on that player. Isn't that the best of both worlds? And Zhou Zhou didn't fall into hallucinations before, which means he won't fall into a deeper level and can stay absolutely sober."
Driver No. 6 also fell silent. This method was indeed better than forcing the player to wake up from the game.
Zhou Zhou immediately said, "I'll go."
The other drivers looked at each other and finally agreed to Zhou Zhou's proposal.
They gave Zhou Zhou a small mirror and told him that when he found his companions, he must make the other party realize that the place where he was was an illusion, and then break the small mirror, and an exit would appear in front of them.
If the other party is determined not to come out, they cannot force him to come out. Let Zhou Zhou crush the small mirror and come out by himself. Then they will submit a report and force the other party to sober up offline.
Zhou Zhou held the small mirror tightly and stepped into the mirror without hesitation.
