Through the Mirror
There were a lot of barrages of comments in Xia Yi's live broadcast room, but a rare blank screen with only two scattered comments appeared.
When I reacted, large and dense barrages of comments instantly filled the entire screen.
What just happened? Did the giant monster let Xia Yi sit on its paw? When Xia Yi came down, he told her to be careful, didn't he? This is outrageous! Is this a supernatural power? I've never seen such a terrifying supernatural power. You know, didn't the last giant monster appear cause rivers of blood? I came here just to see this magnificent spectacle, and this is it? This!
——Is this a monster from the dungeon? I don't understand!
——This is too sweet, giant monster x cool little sister, I’m hooked!!
—What the hell is that guy sneaking in from the front?!
Liu Lian laughed and couldn't help switching between three live broadcast rooms. The screens in Lao Xiong and the other two people's live broadcast rooms were also in chaos. This special feeling of being the only one who knew the inside story was too fulfilling. When this sense of accomplishment came up, he even felt that Xia Yi's successful escape from the copy was also a good choice. Liu Lian paused and started to explain in Gao Yang's live broadcast room.
Gao Yang quickly strode to the stairs, tugged on the hem of Old Bear's shirt, and peeked down. "Did I see it wrong just now? It must have been me. What was going on? Was the fight between Xia Yi and that giant monster intense? How can a monster talk? It's not like some can't talk, but would a monster speak in that tone?" Gao Yang glanced at Xia Yi and Xiang Jiu, then turned to Old Bear. "Old Bear, am I blind?"
Luo Dian covered his ears. The monster's noise was loud enough to begin with, and now it was amplified eight hundred times. He couldn't even hear his own voice. He looked at the old bear with a pale face and asked, "Am I deaf?"
Old Bear: “…”
He dragged Gao Yang and Luo Dian downstairs, not even going to Xia Lijuan's room. Was he thinking that the giant monster would give them another elevator? What was he thinking?
Xia Yi pushed open the door of the room on the third floor. The white corridor wall of the room was stained with blood. The body of a young maid was lying near the door of Xia Lijuan's bedroom. The flat cut where the head was missing dyed the white wall pink, and the bleeding cut was facing Xia Yi.
"We'll go in to look for clues, so you don't have to come in." Xia Yi and Xiang Jiu said.
"I wasn't planning on going in. Didn't I just have to guard the door and wait for you to piece together the clues?" Xiang Jiu looked at Xia Yi in shock. The huge azure cat's eyes showed a sense of grievance. He lowered his head and butted Xia Yi with his huge cat head.
Xia Yi staggered and said quickly, "I understand."
Xia Yi looked at the old bear walking around Xiang Jiu, and Gao Yang immediately asked, "Who is he?"
"This is my companion from the last dungeon. I didn't expect to end up with the same person in the second dungeon." Xia Yi explained what he had already prepared. "He was also assigned to the Jing family. I only know about the Jing family's news because Xiang Jiu is there to help me. Let's go inside and look for clues first."
"Okay." Gao Yang nodded quickly and ran in pulling Luo Dian.
Gao Yang pushed open the door of Xia Lijuan's room. Xia Lijuan was sitting in front of a white dressing table. However, only half of her body was left sitting on the dressing table. Her head and shoulders seemed to have been cut by a sharp lens. The blood flowing from the smooth gap flowed down her beautiful puffy skirt.
Luo Dian looked at Xia Lijuan's body, his eyes revealing pity: "She's still a child, what a pity!"
Xia Yi took a look from a distance and felt very calm, without any fluctuation.
Old Bear stood beside Xia Yi and said, "Luo Dian's own child fell ill shortly after being born. He can empathize with those who don't take human life seriously, and with these underage children. I can't, I'm numb to it. But before entering the dungeon, a colleague I promised to bring with me was killed by me last night. How many people from the Jing family died?"
"Except Xiang Jiu, there is only one left." But she couldn't guarantee whether this one could survive until tomorrow.
Xia Yi shook his head, turned around and walked into Xia Lijuan's study: "I'll go to other rooms to look for clues."
"Okay, I'll search the lounge here too." Lao Xiong called Gao Yang and started searching other rooms.
Xia Yi took out the diary from Xia Lijuan's drawer. The diary had obviously been flipped through again. Xia Lijuan had also written down her feelings from yesterday: "Jing Fang is dead. I'm a little happy, but also scared. I hope she won't come looking for me after she becomes a ghost. If she does, I can tell her about the wrong things I've done, but the only thing I can't say is sorry. I've already done it, so I can't deny myself.
If you deny yourself, you will lose everything!
Xia Yi stared at the last sentence for a long time, pried open the cover of the notebook, and read it over and over again.
She had thought the anchor would be on such a private item, something that would never be lost.
But this book seems to be just an ordinary diary.
Xia Yi placed the diary in his hand on the table, paused, and then turned the entire diary upside down on the table.
Did Xia Lijuan have any other familiar items? Clothes, books, money? No, there was something else. Xia Yi suddenly remembered what the hook-nosed steward had said: the gemstones on the young lady's hand mirror were extremely valuable, and even if she sold it, she wouldn't be able to compensate for it. Indeed, it seemed that this hand mirror had been the only item that had been present throughout the entire dungeon since they first entered it!
Xia Yi stood up and hurried out.
When she first entered the dungeon, Hooked Nose said that the handheld mirror had been replaced four times this month. This was completely contradictory to what she said when she captured herself before, that she had helped the young lady find the handheld mirror. The latter was most likely to be true.
In other words, this handheld mirror has never been lost.
Xia Yi walked closer to the dressing table, where the familiar handheld mirror was still lying.
"Xia Yi, this room is very clean. Why don't we go to the master and mistress's room... What did you find?" Gao Yang looked at Xia Yi and tapped the handheld mirror. "Isn't this the handheld mirror that got you locked up? Lao Xiong and I have analyzed it. This mirror might have been placed in your room by a jealous servant. Otherwise, it's too hard to explain."
Xia Yi didn't explain. He placed the handheld mirror on the corner of the table and knocked it hard to break it. The sound of the mirror breaking was heard.
"Clang!" Amid the sound of the mirror shattering, the sound of metal colliding with the marble on the ground was heard. Under Gao Yang's shocked gaze, Xia Yi reached out and picked up the key that was shining with a bright yellow light from the mirror fragments.
"Oh my god, a key?!" Gao Yang was shocked. It had only been a few days since he entered the game copy, so how could he get the key?
"When I was looking for something just now, I felt that there were too many mirror elves today. Just now, I felt like the entire dungeon was pushed by someone, and it seemed that all the living people were eaten by the mirror elves. Seriously, after I regained my hearing, the more I heard, the more wrong it seemed." Luo Dian walked out with Lao Xiong with a serious face. "This is too fast. Isn't it a five-day dungeon? It's only the third day... Wait, key? Dungeon key?"
