Chapter 41 The Second Round Ends
[What do you recommend? ]
[Yes.] The diary slowly wrote, [The opportunity has always been in your pocket. If you had given me all the star sand earlier, maybe I would have been able to see through what is going on here from the beginning. Of course, it’s not too late to give it to me now.]
Lu Jiamu made a stroke on the words to indicate his disapproval.
[You are on guard against me.]
Did you just notice?
The diary may want to express its grievances, but it is too embarrassed to do so, so it writes three letters: [QAQ]
[How to get out?]
[Once all of you have been replaced, “you” will be able to leave naturally. The game will definitely end then.]
Lu Jiamu looked at it expressionlessly.
The diary felt boring, so it continued: [It was only after I came in that I realized that this might be a preliminary abnormal space. ...Have you heard of the inner and outer worlds?]
Lu Jiamu nodded to show that he understood.
Both the outer and inner worlds are abnormal worlds that transcend reality. The outer world is a relatively safe world that looks similar to the real world, while the inner world is another world composed of elements such as fear and darkness in people's hearts.
Overlap each other, but not at the same time.
[Your current state may be similar to entering the other world. Go and see if there are other people here.]
Lu Jiamu had already adapted to the world of black and white. He put his glasses back on and walked into the maze.
He hadn't walked far when he saw Yu Leng standing in front of a mirror, motionless.
Lu Jiamu walked over and patted him.
Yu Leng turned around and looked at him with a bit of confusion and fear: "Who are you?"
Lu Jiamu held up his glasses and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Leng began to mutter to himself: "I can't get out, I can't get out at all..."
Next to Yu Leng, there was a man lying on the mirror almost madly, clapping at it frantically: "It's all a dead end! It's all a dead end!"
Although the maze is indeed a bit winding, it does not reach a dead end.
Words began to slowly write in the diary: [What they see may be different from what you see. This is the other world, and they are all trapped in the fear and darkness in their own hearts.]
[As for you...]
When writing in the diary, the strokes slow down and lengthen a little, giving a feeling that everything is self-explanatory.
[You have a natural advantage. This may be the reason why he chose this scene for you.]
Lu Jiamu was born without many emotions, he could not feel any fear or pain, nor any darkness. He lived in a straight line and usually saw only the most objective world.
Lu Jiamu felt that the diary was talking about himself.
In the mirror image, after Kou Man and Wang Biao lost the dummy, they began to walk very cautiously. A dark red light flashed in Kou Man's hand.
The diary also saw it and began to write: [This prop did not disappear like the other props, it should be that you have found the core of the maze. The reason why you have not left is that there is still an inner world brewing here. There are actually two cores of the maze.]
[There are still people alive in the surface world, so you still have a chance. When they are all replaced or killed, the game will naturally end, and you will never be able to get out again.]
Lu Jiamu nodded, gave up on the bewildered Yu Leng and the crazy man beside him, and jogged back and forth in the mirror.
He ran for a while and saw himself again in the mirror.
The mannequin raised its face, as if it could see him through the mirror, and gave him a big smile, with smugness and provocation in its eyes, then took off its collar pin and changed direction.
It is actually a terrifying thing to realize that you are being completely replaced by something fake.
But Lu Jiamu was not irritated by its behavior. After taking a look, he withdrew his gaze and continued to run in the direction he remembered, towards the area that Xiao Li had repaired during his lifetime.
Along the way, he met many people who were either standing in front of the mirror in a daze, or pacing back and forth anxiously, or hammering the mirror frantically, but he ignored them, squeezed past them and continued running forward.
Lu Jiamu quickly returned to the previous round and found the location of the ruby inlaid on the mirror.
In this black and white maze, all the mirrors did not reflect the scene of this space. However, in the place where the ruby was inlaid in the surface world, there was a small piece of very special mirror.
The mirror reflected Lu Jiamu's face.
Lu Jiamu took out a hammer and hit the mirror hard.
Cracks soon appeared on the mirror surface and it shattered into pieces when hit by the hammer.
The most special piece of mirror fell to the ground with a clang.
Lu Jiamu picked up the mirror and ran towards the end of the maze.
As he rushed out of the finish line, this time he did not return to the starting point, but rushed in the opposite direction into a colorful world.
The middle-aged boss was clapping at him softly: "Congratulations, you've reached the finish line."
Lu Jiamu took a look around with the mirror and started walking back. Probably because the red-clothed ghost was still harassing Kou Man and his group, it did not suddenly appear to attack him.
Halfway through the journey, I happened to meet another "Lu Jiamu" who was holding an electric drill and had just broken a mirror.
The dummy smiled strangely when he saw him, threw the electric drill aside, and took out a hammer from his pocket: "You're here?"
The mirror dummy is basically a copy, and has comparable abilities to Lu Jiamu in terms of fighting skills, agility, and speed.
The two of them fought each other, each with their own offense and defense. However, the dummy was not afraid of touching the mirror, which gave it a greater advantage than Lu Jiamu.
Kou Man and his group wasted more time in the maze because they were not as familiar with the road as Lu Jiamu. When they heard the sound of fighting and came over, they saw two people fighting fiercely and were stunned.
The dummy yelled, "Help me!"
It had just swapped its collar pins on its own in a place where no one was around, and now the collar pins of both people were in the correct direction, so it was impossible to tell the real one from the fake one.
Coleman looked at the two men who were obviously hesitant.
If she couldn't tell the two apart, one of them would die soon. But the two looked exactly the same, and now she couldn't tell who was who.
Lu Jiamu was not distracted by the mannequin's words. He was eager to prove his authenticity. Instead, he raised his hand and threw the most special mirror accurately at Kouman: "Gem, put it together and smash it!"
Coleman caught it and pressed the dark red gem in his hand on it without hesitation.
The gem's dark red light flashed and quickly melted into the mirror, becoming one with the mirror and becoming a little bit of decoration.
The dummy's eyes rolled and he pushed Lu Jiamu towards the mirror. While Lu Jiamu was dodging, he rushed towards Kouman and tried to take the mirror back.
Coleman punched the dummy in the face, breaking its entire face.
Coleman raised the mirror in his hand high up again and threw it to the ground with force. Worried that it was not enough, he punched it twice more.
As the mirror shattered, there were slight "cracking" sounds throughout the entire maze.
Suddenly, there were a few people in a place where there was no one before, some of them were slapping the mirror hard, and some were walking around anxiously.
They stopped moving at the same time and looked up blankly, as if they didn't understand what was happening.
One of them whispered, "I... I'm lost..."
Another person replied: "Me too. This maze is really evil."
"It's too scary, let's get out of here quickly."
A uniformed staff member dropped the electric drill in despair and said, "I said there was something wrong with the mirror..."
Several people looked at them cautiously, not knowing if this was some new danger.
Lu Jiamu put away his hammer and walked over: "These should be the other players who entered the maze in the past three weeks. They have also been replaced."
The new people have begun to grope their way out of the maze.
The boy was stunned for a moment when he saw so many people suddenly appeared. He then started to walk back against the crowd, calling Xuanxuan's name as he walked. The brave girl thought about it and followed him, trying to find the person she was most familiar with.
In the void, there was a slight "creak" sound of a door opening, and at the same time, a light door penetrated through the layers of mirrors and appeared in the eyes of several people.
A few people did not rush over immediately, but stood there and waited for a while.
A middle-aged man walked past them blankly, came to the end of the maze, and shouted in surprise: "What is this!"
A somewhat robotic voice came from the other end: "Congratulations on reaching the end. Our gaming experience is pretty good, right?"
Lu Jiamu lowered his head and glanced at the diary.
Small words were slowly written on the diary: [This was just a preliminary alien world before, and the scope was still small. It is a good thing that it is broken now. However, the things that have been replaced by it will not disappear just because the abnormality is broken.]
Seeing that some people have successfully walked out of the maze, several people felt relieved. Wang Biao looked at the people who walked out of the maze and sighed: "Business is really good."
After a while, Yu Leng also came in the crowd. After seeing them, he stroked his golden hair and said, "You guys are here? I suddenly couldn't find you just now."
When several people saw him, they remembered the debris all over the ground, but it seemed that Yu Leng had no memory of that time.
The diary was written down stroke by stroke, and it seemed to sigh: [It's great that the anomaly was discovered at the beginning. Otherwise, it would gradually increase until it replaced the entire world, and the game would stop. It can be regarded as a different doomsday scene.]
Lu Jiamu nodded: "Let's go."
