The cloth next to it can block the mirror, but it can't block the mirror indefinitely.
Yin Zhu fell into deep thought, pondering why the temporary apartment had such a rule. If she wanted to know the reason, trying it herself would undoubtedly be the best way, but she was afraid that it would lead to an immediate death—for example, if the mirror was eerily blocked for too long, it would get angry and smash the mirror, then have a real-life fight with itself offline, strangling itself to death in the room.
The reason for blocking the mirror is most likely to prevent the chosen ones from seeing the strange things in the mirror and thus being corrupted. But how do you explain that it cannot be blocked for a long time?
After hesitating for a while, Yin Zhu suddenly remembered something.
She's not fighting alone.
Not knowing where the live stream camera was, Yin Zhu casually looked around and then said, seemingly to herself, "If any chosen one fails to remove the cloth from the mirror within half an hour, please tell me the consequences for that chosen one."
Since she has the backing of the Dragon Kingdom, she could easily have her advisory group help her see how other foolish chosen ones are doing things.
As for whether the staff considered this important information or whether they would waste a chance to give her a hint, Yin Zhu didn't really care, because she could simply find a new place to live and a new job within three days without breaking the rule, so this was just a test.
However, Yin Zhu had a vague suspicion that she hoped to verify.
...
The staff did receive this request.
Moreover, they already knew what the consequences would be, but whether or not to waste an opportunity to tell Yin Zhu over such a trivial matter became the most time-consuming discussion.
“If we don’t provide this information, we can save a reminder opportunity. If something happens to her, we can remind the others later.” He Zihan from the opposition spoke first. “Don’t forget the last instance. Because we wasted an opportunity on Ji Liao, we ran out of attempts when Yin Zhu was drawn.”
Mo You, who was standing next to him, also agreed: "I agree. This request is not important. Yin Zhu only needs to stay here for a maximum of three days before moving out. She doesn't necessarily need to break this rule to survive."
Gu Yi was a supporter and had great trust in Yin Zhu: "She was able to pass through customs without any warning from the country and bring back useful intelligence for us. Even if we had to use all three warning opportunities on her, it would be worth it for the country—the talent is already in front of us, why hold on to an unknown?"
“That’s too much, it’s not that serious.” Tong Xinyan was also a supporter, but she was more moderate: “But I agree with Gu Yi’s opinion. Yin Zhu has never made a request to the country before. We didn’t have the chance to help her last time. This time, let’s consider it as us repaying what we owe her.”
Tong Xinyan didn't mention a single word about the potential benefits of this opportunity to remind people, but her persuasive tactics left several people in the room deep in thought.
However, Mo You wasn't buying it. She pushed up her glasses and calmly said, "With the nation in crisis, this isn't the time to play the emotional card. I'm analyzing this from the perspective that's most beneficial to both sides. It might be a bit conservative, but it's definitely the safest bet. If giving the opportunity to the next chosen one is a gamble, then isn't wasting a reminder opportunity to remind the chosen one of something that's not really necessary also a gamble?"
"Well said!" Chai Yuxuan, sitting opposite her, couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Then, because "he couldn't argue with the supporters at all except for voting against them, and was left speechless by their arguments," he was glared at by He Zihan.
Yoshiyuki, who abstained, looked at the video on the computer in front of her, seemingly calculating how much benefit she could bring to Yoonju if she violated this rule.
"Meng Li, what do you think?"
Tong Xinyan nudged the person next to her with her elbow and gave her a look, implying that she should also make some statements that were more favorable to the supporters.
Meng Li, who was suddenly called upon, hesitated for a moment before speaking carefully: "I do support providing information to Yin Zhu, but I don't understand what she wants to do."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Most of the time, she presents a carefree and silly image in her live streams, but everyone here should be able to sense her true mental state. Yin Zhu is actually a very deep person, but she doesn't show it during live streams."
So we don't know her purpose, but we can analyze it based on her behavior.
Seeing that the opposition did not interrupt her, Meng Li knew that this line of thinking was correct. After all, no matter which direction they supported, the ultimate goal of the staff was nothing more than a dispute over opinions for the peace of the Dragon Kingdom.
After organizing her thoughts, Meng Li continued her analysis: "Before making a clear request to the country, Yin Zhu confronted the person in the mirror and did not follow the rules, attempting to provoke it and make it willing to communicate with her."
Unfortunately, the person in the mirror wasn't like a mindless plant. Instead, the person accidentally used too much force, causing them to become disgusted and leave.
Therefore, she wanted to further break the rules, forcing the person in the mirror to communicate with her in order to obtain more information.
Mo You nodded slightly in agreement.
"However, Yin Zhu had some concerns because she was unsure of the consequences of violating this rule, and was worried about triggering her own death and causing trouble for the Dragon Kingdom." The latter half of the sentence was Meng Li's own speculation.
"So far, seven people have died because of the strange phenomenon in the mirror. One of them was a chosen one from a small country who was so nervous that he forgot to remove the mirror cloth, causing the strange phenomenon in the mirror to leave the mirror along with the reflection of the tiles and fill the entire room. He was eventually scared to death." Yoshiyuki Yoshiyuki added data to support this claim. "And all the chosen ones who died because of the strange phenomenon in the mirror were affected by a series of terrifying events and were eventually scared to death."
Having grasped Meng Li's meaning, Tong Xinyan continued the conversation: "Yin Zhu will not be scared to death by the ghost, and may even provoke the ghost in return, so providing the information to her will not cause any bad consequences."
“But even so, can the benefit of a single reminder be compensated by the message of this communication? The ghost is not human, and I don’t think Yin Zhu can obtain real information by communicating with it directly.” Mo You’s opinion remained unchanged.
This is just too much of a gamble.
It's like taking 1 million to buy a lottery ticket. You might win up to 5 million, but you might only win 100 or even nothing.
Currently, the risks far outweigh the potential rewards, which is the biggest reason for Mo You's opposition.
Having heard this, An Zhi had already made her decision, but instead of giving the order directly, she said, "Actually, we can wait a bit, after all, there are still two days left."
Weird, cunning, and cruel, after being tricked by Yin Zhu, she probably won't easily admit defeat to humans and will definitely try to intimidate her even more severely.
Therefore, we can wait and see; there's no need to jump to conclusions now. If we're certain that Yin Zhu can handle the Mirror Demon, we can use the opportunity of the reminder to gather more information about this instance.
