Chapter 44 Inversion
The dizziness only lasted for a brief moment, and I returned to normal when I blinked again, but for some reason, I suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Ji Ling?" Seeing that I was in a daze, Song Nanxing called me with some confusion.
"Well...what?" I agreed belatedly.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Song Nanxing waved his hand in front of me and looked at me inquiringly.
"Ah... no."
I shook my head and subconsciously looked back at the situation behind me. I didn't know when Chen Yubing and Gang Jue had swapped positions, but Wang Meng was still following at the end of the team, looking around.
I don't know when Song Nanxing walked from my left to my right.
It's a very strange feeling. I don't have any headache or physical discomfort, but I always have an indescribable dizziness.
I couldn't help but want to help the boiler next to me, but I found nothing.
It was Song Nanxing who was quick to help me and prevent me from falling into the pools on both sides.
Although there are no more chemical reagents in the pool, it is still quite deep. If you fall in, it will be very painful.
"Are you okay, Ji Ling? Why do I feel like something's wrong with you?" Song Nanxing touched his chin and stared at me for a long time with a very confused expression.
"It's nothing, but I feel like something's wrong here. Let's be careful." As I said that, I looked around the chemical plant.
There are many pipes on the roof and walls on both sides of the factory. After looking around, my eyes fell on an instrument in front of me that was covered with a thick layer of dust.
This thing... was it placed here just now?
"Go check that out." I pointed to the instrument in front and turned to them.
Everyone quickly approached the instrument, whose purpose was unknown. Song Nanxing wiped the dust off the instrument with his fingers and said with disgust, "It's so dirty."
"Is there anything wrong with this thing?" Chen Yubing also stepped forward and looked at the machine in front of him.
Unfortunately, no one here understands the chemical industry, and we studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this thing is used for.
Song Nanxing tried to press the switch, but the entire chemical plant had no power and the machines did not respond at all.
After some research, I found out that it was just an ordinary broken instrument.
I held the mirror fragment in my hand and looked at it again and again, trying to see if there was anything unusual.
At this time, a hand reached out and took the mirror fragment from my hand. Song Nanxing held the mirror and smiled at me.
"Do you like this mirror? I'll give you a better one later."
A strong sense of disharmony swirled up from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but look at Song Nanxing a few more times.
Song Nanxing was acting normal, which made me wonder if it was my own problem.
But why am I like this?
At this time, Song Nanxing said, "There doesn't seem to be anything here. Let's go look somewhere else." As he said that, he habitually crossed his arms in front of his chest and prepared to go back.
But it was this action of clasping hands that made me feel a chill all over my body.
Song Nanxing usually keeps his right hand underneath, but when he just folded his hands, he was pressing his left hand.
I just felt a shock in my head, and all the previous feelings of incongruity were connected at this moment.
Just now when I was supporting the boiler next to me, I reached for nothing because the boiler was originally on my left, but when I supported it, it was on the right.
The reason why I didn't notice it was that the layout of the entire chemical plant was almost axially symmetrical, with boilers on both sides, so I didn't notice it at first.
The positions of Gang Jue and Chen Yubing are also opposite.
And that instrument was indeed an ordinary instrument. The reason why I felt strange was that the instrument was initially located in front of me and slightly to the left, but when I looked up again, it was located in front of me and slightly to the right.
Since the instrument was originally located relatively close to the center, with just a slight offset, and I was not very familiar with the layout of the chemical plant, I naturally assumed that it was there.
No wonder I always felt dizzy and disoriented just now. It’s not that there is something wrong with my body, but the whole space has been mirror-flipped!
I secretly took a deep breath, clenched my palms, and forced myself to calm down.
When did it start?
My mind was rapidly recalling all the details that had just happened. I started to feel something was wrong when I got the mirror fragment and had a brief feeling of dizziness.
But what is the opportunity?
Just at this moment, I suddenly remembered to get the mirror fragment, and I looked at Song Nanxing in the mirror.
Was it at that time?
An incredible guess formed in my mind.
What if the person who just met my eyes in the mirror fragment was not Song Nanxing, but someone else?
The scene reflected in the mirror is the opposite of reality. If you think this way, then it can explain why I felt disoriented just now and why the scene in the entire chemical plant was reversed.
So, am I entering the mirror world now?
No matter how I think about it, it seems outrageous, but it seems to be the only explanation that makes sense at the moment - after all, this is not the first or second time I have encountered outrageous events.
But if my guess is correct, then Song Nanxing in front of me, and the other teammates...
I couldn't help but look at them. Song Nanxing was playing with the mirror fragments in his hand, while Gang Jue and Chen Yubing were observing their surroundings and alert to possible emergencies. Wang Meng at the end of the team also looked normal.
Nothing seemed wrong, but for some reason, they seemed very strange to me at that moment.
If I am really in a mirror world, what is the principle of this mirror world?
Is it simply a copy of things in real life, or is the world in the mirror also an independent world?
Either way, it seems very difficult to me.
At the same time, there is a most critical question: am I the only one who was pulled in, or are there others who were also pulled in?
At the moment, I can only be sure that the "Song Nanxing" in front of me is fake, so what about the others?
I am not particularly familiar with Wang Meng, but I have had quite a few interactions with Chen Yubing and Gang Jue.
Thinking of this, I secretly glanced at them again, but couldn't see any clues at all.
Chen Yubing looked at me with a sense of awareness and gave me a warm smile.
"What's wrong?"
From her smile, I am even more certain that she is also a mirror image. Chen Yubing is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Although we have been together for a long time and have a good relationship with her, the Chen Yubing I know would never show such an expression.
Maybe the entire team except me has been replaced...
When I realized this, I felt a chill run through my body.
