At this moment, the sound of mechanisms turning was heard in the underground hall.

They turned around and found that there were suddenly 8 more passages in the closed hall.

Without being prompted, Ash and Weisser knew that as long as they walked into one of the passages, the passage would be blocked and become their exclusive trial road.

In fact, Ash and the spectator did not intend to ambush the Silver Lantern Twins here, but they were unable to leave.

Because after they arrived at this hall, the watch popped up a reminder: "When all the trial participants reach the Chanfu Hall, the passage to the Chanchong Hall will be opened."

Obviously, even if Weisser and the others arrived at the hall first, they would have to wait for Ash and the others to arrive before they could move on. Ash was originally very curious about why there was such a setting, but when he saw these 8 passages, he understood.

There were 16 passages in the original hall, which means that this trial should be carried out by 16 groups at the same time.

8 channels means that only half of the people can enter the next trial. Compared with using the speed of passing the level to distinguish the high and low of the trial, the organizer of this trial seems to prefer to assess the overall quality - wait until everyone reaches the hall, and then only half of the people die, and the rest can enter the next level.

Ash could almost imagine how intense the previous trials were: 16 groups of twins gathered in the hall, and then the strong ones used deception to intimidate others, and the weak ones formed alliances and pretended to be cooperative, and in the end, only 8 groups survived and continued to step into the next hell.

Isn't it said that the Age of the Gray Fox Gods was a beautiful and wonderful era? Why is there such a bloody ceremony? Or is Ash wrong, and the trial participants will decide the winner by rock-paper-scissors?

But in any case, their fight could no longer continue.

"Silver Lantern, you're lucky." Ash couldn't help but say something harsh.

"See you in the next hall, then." Weisser looked at them and backed into the corridor.

"etc!"

"If you want to ask what the trial is, then don't ask." Weisser said in a low voice, "You and I are not familiar enough to share information."

“His name is the Viewer.”

Ash put his arm around the viewer's shoulders and introduced them to them, then looked at Youlan: "What's your name?"

"I am also a silver lamp." Youlan said with a smile.

"Silver Lantern is a code name specifically referring to her. You must have your own name."

"Since he is called the Viewer." Youlan pointed at the Viewer and said, "Then I will call him the Mirror Master."

Ash looked a little confused: "Does this matter?"

"You are a bystander." Youlan and Weisser retreated into the passage together:

“I am the man in the mirror.”

As the Silver Lantern Twins disappeared into the passage, Ash heard footsteps coming from behind. He found that the viewer had quietly walked into the passage behind him, and hurriedly followed him: "Wait for me, what if I'm left in the hall!"

…

…

The Silver Lantern Twins walked in the bright passage. Weisser looked at her watch and found that the countdown was still stagnant and not moving.

She suddenly said: "That code name..."

"You are not interested in going that route anyway," Youlan said lightly, "Lend it to me."

"Do you even have this memory?"

"Of course, you have been hearing this name in hallucinations these days, right? Silver Lantern Mirror Master... This is the Four Pillar Gods' expectation of you." Youlan said: "If you become a complete sense of touch, your tactile ability should be called this. Since you have already used Silver Lantern, I can only use the code name of Mirror Master."

"I thought that no matter how advanced this trial was, it wouldn't be able to monitor the traces of the Four Pillar Gods."

"It's also possible that the Four Pillar Gods don't mind others discovering their tracks." Youlan laughed, "They are like a group of advertisers using loud speakers to send out spam messages, wishing that everyone could hear their calls."

Soon, they saw a door appear in the passage. When they stood in front of the door, it opened automatically, revealing a dining table, chairs, food, and two soft beds.

"Welcome trial participant No. 1, Gemini. You can stay in the lounge for 360 minutes. When the time is up, you will continue the trial. Leaving the lounge will be considered as ending the rest time early, and the trial will continue."

Even if the killing trial copies the physical energy to restore physical injuries, the high-frequency battle is exhausting. Although you can continue the trial to reach the next hall first, you have to wait for Ash and the others to arrive before you can open the passage to the third level of the trial.

No matter how you think about it, having a good rest here is the best option. What's more, if Ash wants to rest, then Weisser also has reasons to rest.

After the door was closed, Youlan was too lazy to even go to the bathroom. She took off all her clothes as she walked and threw herself directly into the bed, rolling around.

Weisser felt very awkward watching this scene – she felt a little ashamed to see someone who looked exactly like her, behaving so wildly and lively.

Even if she pretends to be this persona outside, it doesn't mean she is like this inside.

But she didn't say anything, took off her mask and coat, took out a hemostatic bandage from the drawer, and wrapped the wound on her neck in front of the mirror - the hole caused by Ash's teeth was clearly imprinted on it, and it almost bit her throat.

"Do you need help?" Youlan lay on the bed, smiling lazily.

"unnecessary."

"It seems that Ash's twins are not as real as you expected. What should we do next?"

"His twins happen to be the truth he hides... I never expected such a good thing to happen." Weisser said calmly: "After all, my plan didn't include the option of him joining in. I should be the only one in the Trial of the Divine Fire. His appearance will only increase the variables. I didn't expect the Transcendental Sect to give him an indulgence to send God remotely..."

"But it doesn't matter." She said, "If we solve all the troubles together, things will be much simpler. The current situation is even more interesting."

"oh?"

"Compared to picking up a ready-made ally, I prefer to slowly cultivate a companion that suits my taste." Weisser said, "Here, he has lost his companions and his magic power. He is at a loss and has no idea what to do. He is surrounded by enemies and is a stranger everywhere... He is only one step away from revealing his true self."

"This tooth mark is the beginning of his awakening. Next, as long as we push the dominoes in the virtual world, we will see his collapse."

"Compared to picking up something ready-made, cultivating it would be more interesting..." Youlan walked behind Weisser, bent down slightly and put her hands on her shoulders, staring at the two people in the mirror, chewing on this statement lightly with her lips until it fermented into sweet bitterness.

"You have a point."

…

…

"It hurts, be gentler, be gentler."

The spectator threw down the bandage and said, "This time it's your left shoulder that's injured. You should bandage it yourself next time."

"Hey, there are two of us, shouldn't we help each other? I will also help you heal next time you get hurt." Ash looked at himself in the mirror, his throat and left shoulder were wrapped in bandages: "It seems that I can't take a shower tonight..."

"I can wrap myself, and so can you."

"Aren't we all the same? If you pester me, I'll pester myself." Ash tried to get away with it with a very outrageous logic: "But fortunately there are still 6 hours of rest time, and even food and toilets. I was wondering before if the trial participants can only defecate anywhere..."

"By the way, I'm going to the virtual world later. Can you go too?"

The viewer sat on the bed and closed his eyes. "No, Aurora's Magician's Manual belongs to you. I am just a copy of your memory and skills."

"You are not only a replica, but also a viewer who almost beat up Silver Lantern." Ash said happily, "What about the virtual world? After leaving here, can you enter the virtual world?"

The viewer opened his eyes and looked at him, and after a while he said, "Do you have a magic spirit that you summoned yourself?"

Ash was stunned: "No? Stand, Heart Sword... huh?"

Because he had always entered the virtual world through the operator's Gate of Truth, Ash now found that he seemed to be too far away - he was already a Sanctuary Warlock, but he didn't even have a magic spirit that he could summon on his own!

He has never even seen the Door of Truth once!

Without Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual, he couldn't even enter the virtual realm!

It's not so outrageous that you never met the professors in your department when you were in college. It should be that you didn't know your own name for more than ten years after you were born.

"I, I will try my best." Ash said sincerely, "But it doesn't matter if you can't enter the virtual realm. You protect me now, and when I become a legendary magician, I can protect you in return!"

The viewer was not moved at all: "I won't take care of you, you're on your own."

"Strange," Ash sat on his bed, staring at the viewer and mused, "Are you a tsundere? Is my complementary type so strange?"

The viewer did not react, and after waiting for a while, he found that Ash was still there. He looked embarrassed, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he made up his mind and asked, "Well, I have something to ask you..."

"I didn't inherit all your emotions." The viewer said, "And I'm not interested in those boring friendships, love, and family ties."

"What about our parents!?"

The viewer lowered his eyelids: "Same."

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, shaking his body and said, "I will go to the virtual world later and hope to draw the 'Billion Hands of Glory' from the 'Dream Treasure House'. Last time I let Sword Princess equip this collection, it was simply invincible. I can use Blood Moon Shattered Lake and Meteor Tribulation infinitely. Unless it is an invincible attribute affix, I can kill through the bubble..."

Viewer: “Why are you chatting with me?”

Ash was stunned: "If I don't look for you, do I look for a pillow to chat?"

The viewer shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, you were a little wary of me at first, but now you completely trust me."

Ash blinked and nodded readily: "Yes, because you didn't betray me even after being persuaded by Silver Lantern, I feel relieved. In fact, I was really worried at the beginning whether you wanted to replace me or something..."

"What if I have other plans, or just feel that the silver lantern is more threatening?" The viewer said: "If a more suitable situation arises-"

"Assumptions are the most meaningless, and human nature cannot be tested. Everyone has the chips to betray. As long as someone can afford the price, I can betray everything." Ash said in a light tone: "What I am really happy about is not that you did not betray me, but that I can trust you."

"Although I have people I can talk to, people who can accept me, people I can share my joys and sorrows with, and even a home waiting for me and companions who are worthy of my trust..." Ash looked down at his hands: "But you are the only one who can understand me."

After a moment of silence, Ash scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly rolled back to his bed: "It feels like some middle school boy's remarks, a bit embarrassing... It's about time, I'm going to the virtual world, good night!"

As Ash's consciousness connected to the virtual world and entered a dream bubble, the lounge returned to silence.

It was not until a long time later that a cold comment was heard:

"Too weak."
