86 Mirror of the Future
◎Who are you?◎
Almost in an instant, the scene before my eyes changed.
Liu Ge woke up in a daze. There was water in her lungs and a strong foreign body sensation in her nasal cavity, so she couldn't stop coughing loudly as soon as she opened her eyes.
Someone behind her patted her back to comfort her. With her help, Liu Ge gradually stopped coughing and looked back.
"I got the key..." She thought the person behind her would be Qi Qiuxue or Li Yiqing.
But neither is true.
The person behind him... turned out to be Meng Yiyue.
"Yixin, how are you?" Meng Yiyue looked at her with a worried look on her face. Her voice was gentle, and her beautiful eyes were filled with concern for her lover. "You slept for so long. I was really scared."
"Are you feeling better now?" She put her palm against her forehead. Fortunately, the temperature had dropped.
Perhaps realizing that there was something wrong with the way Liu Ge looked at her, Meng Yiyue asked with some confusion: "Yixin, what's wrong? Is there something strange on my face?"
"No, no." This glance back was like a sharp knife, piercing Liu Ge's heart directly. She couldn't understand what was happening in front of her, but instinctively held Meng Yiyue's hand tightly, fearing that she would disappear again.
Her expression was a little paranoid, and her eyes were filled with surprise, confusion and a few moments of joy at reunion after a long separation.
Meng Yiyue stared at her for a moment, then leaned over and hugged her.
"It seems our Yixin is having a nightmare." Meng Yiyue didn't question Liu Ge's strange behavior. She raised her hand and gently patted Liu Ge's back, giving her a warm hug and shoulder. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"What's going on?" Someone walked into the room from outside. Liu Ge looked up in her lover's warm embrace. It was Qiao Meng, a member of their guild.
"A-Liu, are you awake?" Qiao Meng was a very cute girl with short hair, short stature, and the youngest. She walked over quickly, peeked in at the two of them hugging, and deliberately teased, "Why are you so close to each other right after waking up?"
"How do you feel? You have no idea how worried we've been these past few days. Ever since you looked in that broken mirror, you've been unconscious for two days!" She sighed with some fear. "Thankfully, you finally woke up."
Mirror.
Liu Ge frowned: "What mirror? Where am I now?"
"What?" Qiao Meng was stunned when she heard this. "That mirror of the future."
Mirror of the future.
Liu Ge paused, then said uncertainly, "Mirror of the Future... Pirates of Soklia! Are you saying we're still in the Pirates of Soklia dungeon?!"
"Yeah..." Qiao Meng nodded, frightened by her appearance. "A Liu, what did you see in that mirror? Why did you become so strange?"
Liu Ge shook his head and had no intention of responding to Qiao Meng's words.
The warmth in Meng Yiyue's arms was so real, so real that she wanted to cry. If this was the right time, then what about everything she had seen and experienced before?
The death of her companions, the death of Meng Yiyue, she completed the dungeon alone, then met Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing, and quit the previous guild due to differences in ideas.
Was this all fake? A dream? Or perhaps an illusion she'd seen through the pirate's treasure, the Mirror of the Future?
"Yixin, what's wrong with you?" As if realizing that the person in her arms was crying, Meng Yiyue held her face and met her gaze with heartache.
"Nothing." Liu Ge shook her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I just had a very bad dream. I dreamed that you disappeared."
"How could that be?" Meng Yiyue touched her cheek soothingly and said sincerely, "Dreams are always the opposite of reality. I won't leave."
"I will always be by your side, no matter how far into the future."
-
Without much rest, Liu Ge got up from the bed and left the room with Meng Yiyue.
The dungeon was now in the middle and late stages. After going through untold hardships, they had obtained the pirates' treasure and were preparing to leave the sea area on a cruise ship.
As long as you log in again, the copy will be successfully completed.
At this moment, everyone had a relaxed and comfortable expression on their face. In addition to Liu Ge, Meng Yiyue and Qiao Meng, there were three other girls in the guild who entered this dungeon together.
"Let's go have a nice meal together after we get out."
"Okay, how about the restaurant downstairs from my house?"
"Okay! Then I'll order a few more dishes, spicy chicken, Maoxuewang, and yes, Kung Pao Chicken too..."
The three of them stood on the deck, looking up at the beautiful night sky and chatting happily. Meng Yiyue and Qiao Meng, who arrived later, were also infected by their emotions and had faint smiles on their faces.
Only Liu Ge remained vigilant. After reaching the deck, she interrupted the conversation and said, "There's something I need to tell you."
If everything shown in the mirror is the real future, then it means that the scene she sees in the mirror will definitely happen in the near future.
——The dangers in the dungeon are not over yet. When the ship is halfway through its journey, another wave of pirates who have been lurking for a long time will suddenly appear.
The players did not notice the danger coming, and were caught off guard by this group of people, and died one after another. Subsequent pirates climbed onto the cruise ship, determined to retrieve the treasure and kill all of them.
Liu Ge used the props she got from the previous copy: poison spray, to kill all the pirates around her to the greatest extent possible, but she didn't notice that there was still a pirate who had escaped and approached her quietly. When the other party aimed the gun at Liu Ge's body, it was Meng Yiyue who blocked it for her.
Liu Ge didn't want to recall the subsequent scenes.
She told everyone everything she saw from the mirror of the future, including the number of pirates and which direction they would come from. As long as they formulated a good strategy, the weapons and ammunition left in their hands would be enough to wipe out the pirates.
"Okay." Everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn after hearing this. They had been in dungeons with Liu Ge and Meng Yiyue several times. They were not only friends but also comrades-in-arms. They had no doubts about Liu Ge's words.
Everyone quickly discussed a strategy and prepared themselves to face the upcoming crisis with full vigilance. Just as Liu Ge said, about ten minutes later, the pirates really appeared.
This time they seized the initiative and launched an attack on the pirate ship first. Seeing this, the pirates hurriedly fought back, but no matter what they did, these players cracked their actions one by one as if they had anticipated it.
The battle went very smoothly, and all the pirates died in the endless cold sea, without even being able to get close to them.
Win, really win!
Liu Ge looked at everything in front of her in disbelief, her chest still heaving violently due to the excitement and tension just now. The scenes of her former companions' tragic deaths flashed before her eyes one by one, and then shattered into pieces.
No one died this time and everyone survived!
Including her lover.
"Ayue." Liu Ge could hardly control her emotions. The long-standing pain, unwillingness, and regret all turned into foam and were buried in the sea along with the pirates' bodies. She called out Meng Yiyue's name in a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't lose you." She said over and over again, "I'm glad you're still alive."
Meng Yiyue hugged her tightly in the next second. Her embrace was still warm, just like the smile in her eyes: "Yes, that's great."
"I said I would always be by your side." Meng Yiyue said softly, "Yixin, do you want me to always be with you?"
"Of course!" Liu Ge raised his eyes to look at her cheek and nodded sincerely, "Of course!"
"Okay." Meng Yiyue responded softly, and the smile in her eyes deepened a little.
"Yixin, do you know that there are actually many possibilities for the future? What you see may be just one of them. It is always changing. Perhaps because of a word or an event, it will deviate from the established path and move towards another possibility."
"?" Liu Ge was stunned when he heard this. "Ayue, what do you mean?"
"Actually, I also looked into the mirror of the future." Meng Yiyue suddenly said, "What I saw was a future that was even further away than yours. The us in the mirror won the battle, just like now."
"But then the cruise ship lost control and hit a reef. We all fell into the sea. There were only two pieces of driftwood that gave us hope of survival." Her smile gradually faded, and her tone gradually became lower and slower, even sounding a little eerie. "Out of the six of us, only two people were able to survive."
"I hope those two people will be us." She said this, and raised her gun mercilessly at her companions who were still cheering and had not noticed the danger in front of her.
"No!" Liu Ge widened his eyes and subconsciously tried to grab the gun from her hand, but it was too late. After a few gunshots, everyone died tragically in front of her.
"Why..." Liu Ge's breathing stopped at this moment. She looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief and slowly knelt down.
A few seconds later, Meng Yiyue came over and lifted her chin with her hand: "Yixin, you can rest assured this time."
"No one will die after this, and we will all survive safely, just as you wished."
…Her voice was still gentle and sweet, but the words she spoke were cold and terrifying.
Liu Ge looked up at the person in front of her with tears in her eyes. After a long silence and eye contact, she picked up the gun in Qiao Meng's hand and slowly stood up.
She pointed the gun at the "Meng Yiyue" in front of her and said sternly: "You are not her."
"Tell me, who are you?!"
