Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Admiration?
The room where the [Mirror of Omniscience] is placed has no light source. Outside the room is a long and dim corridor. There are neither lights nor windows in the room. In the darkness that seems to be able to swallow everything, only the crystal brought in from outside by Su Yuan emits a faint and strange red light, which can barely illuminate the outline of the inlay slot.
The environment in front of me was actually a bit creepy. In the room with stagnant air, I couldn't see anything clearly. If I hadn't been told in advance that the mirror was right in front of the door, I could touch it with my hand, and I wouldn't even be able to find it.
While the Mirror of Omniscience is defined as a mirror, it is not allowed to perform its most basic reflecting function at all, and is deprived of all light that can cause reflection as if in fear.
The desire for the answer overwhelmed the fear and horror that Su Yuan should have felt.
In the silent environment, the sound of Su Yuan's gradually accelerating heartbeat became clearer and clearer.
Su Yuan was very surprised when he really got the answer. This uncontrollable emotion once again obscured his perception of the surrounding environment.
At the moment when his breathing became disordered and rapid, Su Yuan was thinking about the slight difference in the answer.
The mirror did not completely answer his confusion. Su Yuan still didn't know why he became a card, but it was not worth thinking too much about it. After all, he asked two questions. Since the mirror could only answer one question, it was reasonable for it to ignore one.
only--
——As long as you as a card die, you can wake up from your body...
The mirror gave him the feeling that the question was not answered yet and there was something else to say.
Su Yuan placed his hand on the cold mirror. After waiting for a while and realizing that he still didn't get an answer, he hesitantly moved closer to the mirror.
In Su Yuan's previous life, when something like a TV suddenly froze or the screen became distorted, the most common way to deal with it was to knock and tap on it. Due to a principle that Su Yuan didn't know, the frozen object would always recover.
However, Su Yuan seldom used this method. Most of the time, he chose to coax "them" directly.
Su Yuan wanted to hear the unfinished words, so he hesitated for a moment, took off the glasses and mask on his face, and when he got closer to the [Mirror of Omniscience], trying his best to let it see his sincere eyes, he started to coax her silently from a close distance.
——Good mirror, handsome mirror, invaluable mirror, please hold on a little longer and be kind enough to tell me.
While he was coaxing himself in the mirror, his exposed cheeks were a little red due to the excitement of getting the answer just now, and his forehead was slightly sweaty due to the stuffy environment. Unfortunately, in the darkness, no one could see Su Yuan's beautiful face which was blushing at the moment.
The warm breath belonging to Su Yuan was quickly blocked by the nearby mirror, making the surroundings even hotter.
Su Yuan coaxed for a long time, until the sweat on his forehead condensed and dripped, but he never waited for the mirror to react.
Su Yuan blinked. He seemed to hear the crisp sound of his sweat dripping on the mirror amidst his rapid heartbeat. But——
In such an airtight situation, his sweat should have dripped onto the ground, but why did it fall on the mirror in front of him which should have been upright?
Su Yuan stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, but when he touched the entire mirror along the outline of the mirror, he couldn't find any place wet with his sweat. It was even a little strange that when Su Yuan thought that the mirror in front of him would be covered with some moisture because of his hot breath, his careful action of wiping it only made him feel a smooth surface without any moisture.
It was not until then that Su Yuan realized that this copy item was somewhat strange.
After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly became a little scared and stopped insisting. He quickly put on his glasses and mask and left the room.

Unlike when he came, Su Yuan wanted to take a closer look at the library when he left.
However, Su Yuan's attention was quickly diverted.
A distinguished guest came to the library. As Su Yuan walked through the quiet corridor, felt the sunlight by the window, and saw other people, he saw an acquaintance.
His handsome face was hidden by a pair of glasses that shone with a cold light. Clay, wearing a shirt and with a cold expression, was walking forward under the gaze of people nearby.
The vice president, who had questioned Yan Zhou via video, also seemed ready to walk into the dim corridor leading to the [Mirror of Omniscience].
Su Yuan thought that Clay might be here to look for clues about the mutation in the copy.
The dungeon is both a danger and an opportunity. The initial panic about the order that strictly prohibits everyone from entering the dungeon has passed, and many card masters have expressed dissatisfaction and anxiety. Clay, as the person in charge of this matter, is obviously under great pressure.
Maybe it was because he seemed to have just walked out of the corridor, but Su Yuan felt that Clay, who seemed indifferent to everything, looked at him for a long time.
Su Yuan wasn't sure if he saw the slight curl of Clay's lips.
Although he did look funny in this fully armed state, Su Yuan didn't think Clay was the kind of person who would be disturbed by this.
Su Yuan, who was quietly waiting for Clay to walk into the corridor and was originally prepared to treat Clay as a passerby, suddenly heard the whispers of people around him.
"Have you heard the rumor that Vice President Clay might be engaged to Su Yuan?"
Su Yuan’s pupils widened for a moment: “???” Why, why is it related to him again?
"How is it possible? It must be a rumor. Vice President Clay has always hated noble families. How could he be engaged to a loser like Su Yuan?"
"How is it impossible? You all know how much the aristocratic families have suppressed Clay. If Clay can't bear the pressure, he will definitely compromise with the aristocratic families if his upward space is completely blocked by them."
"Even if I really compromise with the aristocratic family and choose to be won over by them, what about Su Yuan? Why am I going to get engaged to him?"
"It's an insulting ceremony to announce the victory of the noble family, and to instantly test Clay's obedience to the noble family's orders."
Su Yuan used to insult Clay: "."
Someone nearby seemed particularly unhappy about what he heard. He suppressed his anger and spoke to stop them, but he seemed to have some hidden meaning in his words, "That's enough. There is absolutely no way that Vice President Clay will get engaged to Su Yuan. Just wait and see!"
Su Yuan didn't want to listen to any more, so he hurriedly walked through the crowd and left the library.
When he walked towards Yan Zhou's dormitory, the breeze on the road could not improve Su Yuan's dizzy head.
Su Yuan's face was pink and wrinkled under the mask.
Why is he always on the way to getting engaged?
No, he really had to wake up quickly, express his feelings clearly, and put a stop to this situation where gossip about him was flying everywhere.
Thinking about the answer to waking up that he had just gotten from the mirror, Su Yuan adjusted the mask that was filled with stuffiness from the heat.
You can give it a try.
Unlike the situation where all the cards owned by a card master will disappear when he dies, the death of card creatures in battle is a common occurrence.
After a card 'dies', the card master can still summon it again after a certain period of sealing time.
Su Yuan walked slowly.
Therefore, there is actually no risk in this attempt.
That is, as a card, the property of the card master, the card creature has no right to harm itself.
In other words, the only way for Su Yuan to die is to be "killed".
As soon as Su Yuan returned to the empty dormitory, she took off the three-piece suit that had become uncomfortable to cover her face. The entrance ceremony did not last too long. When Su Yuan was still breathing lightly, Yan Zhou walked in with the crisp sound of the mechanical door being broken.
"Did you get the answer?"
Faced with the protagonist's question, Su Yuan, who was still thinking about how to "die", felt a little guilty and uncomfortable.
The death of a card will more or less cause harm to the card player.
On the one hand, the card master directly lacks the combat power of a card and his mental strength is restricted. On the other hand, the card master's mysterious card affinity will be reduced.
Yan Zhou took a lot of care of Su Yuan. Su Yuan didn't dare to look Yan Zhou in the face when he thought that he would make Yan Zhou suffer for his kindness.
"……Um."
"Can you tell me now?" Yan Zhou seemed to really care about this matter.
When Su Yuan gritted his teeth and shook his head to refuse, he looked even more unnatural.
"I really don't dislike you." This was the reason Su Yuan gave for rejection before.
When Yan Zhou said this to Su Yuan quite sincerely, Su Yuan felt even more sorry for Yan Zhou and his face turned red with shame.
Yan Zhou felt a little depressed and was in a very bad mood. However, he didn't have the heart to question Su Yuan. He forced himself to let the matter go and took out a bracelet from his arms.
The news that Su Yuan was his card successfully spread. After attending the entrance ceremony, Yan Zhou finally found out the reason for the senior students' surprise from the conversations with people around him.
The time a card creature can stay in the real world is limited each time. The specific length of time is closely related to the card's rejection of the real world. The more a card rejects and dislikes the real world, the shorter the time it can stay.
But even if there were card creatures that could stay for a longer time, none of them could stay as long as Su Yuan.
Everyone saw that Su Yuan had been following Yan Zhou for a long time, and they never thought that Su Yuan would be Yan Zhou's card.
Many people had just come to ask Yan Zhou about this, and wanted to know how to make the cards less repulsive. Yan Zhou, who had a summoning card for the first time, had just learned about this, and was also puzzled. However, with the introduction of others, he bought all the props that would help him develop a relationship with the summoning cards.
After Yan Zhou put the bracelet on himself, he gently put the matching bracelet on Su Yuan.
This is an auxiliary item that can quantify the intimacy between the card and the card player.
The electronic screen above can display the card creature's intimacy with the card master in real time.
Thinking about Su Yuan's previous behavior towards him, Yan Zhou was still nervous even though he knew that Su Yuan should be quite close to him.
Under Yan Zhou's close attention, the numbers on the electronic screen flashed rapidly and then stopped at '0'.
Yan Zhou paused, pursed his lips, restarted the device, and made sure the switch was on.
Then I saw——
0.
As Su Yuan looked at it with a slightly dazed look on his face, he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with the protagonist's aura. Just when he was still a little confused about the situation, he saw Yan Zhou take out something that looked like an instruction manual from his arms.
Yan Zhou flipped through the contents with a restrained expression.
How could it be possible that Su Yuan’s intimacy with him was zero and he had no special feelings for him?
Putting aside Su Yuan's previous actions, it is not reasonable to say that Su Yuan can stay here all the time. Card creatures naturally reject the real world. The only way to reduce their sense of rejection in theory is to rely on the bond with the card master.
Yan Zhou's expression became worse and worse. This instruction manual was surprisingly rigorous and he couldn't find any possible bugs.
It even lists all the possible sources from which the values were generated.
Family love, friendship, master-servant love, master-pet love...
Just as Yan Zhou felt increasingly depressed, he looked towards the line of people he had just seen in a daze.
He suddenly realized that although this contained almost all kinds of emotions, the only thing it did not contain was——
love.
The original frustration, soreness and boredom seemed to turn into the exact opposite in an instant. Yan Zhou heard the sound of his own heartbeat and tried not to think too much about it.
However, the scene just now kept flashing through his mind.
Su Yuan said that he found himself a little strange, so he wanted to get an answer.
Su Yuan asked a question that was related to him, but she didn't want to tell him, but was worried that he would be disgusted after knowing it.
After getting the answer, Su Yuan was so flustered that she didn't dare to look him in the eye when he asked her, and avoided his sight, but after he said that she would not dislike him, her pretty face suddenly turned red.
Yan Zhou, with his heart pounding, could hardly help but connect the two things together.
Could it be that the strange thing that Su Yuan discovered was, was -
Feeling of admiration?
