Through the Mirror
Xia Yi paused and looked around at the expressions of several people. They looked at the key in her hand and showed joy at first, but this insignificant joy was fleeting, and what appeared again was solemnity.
Old Bear frowned at the key and said, "Too fast! I still have a lot of things to sort out. The key appearing now might not be a good thing. This is clearly a five-day dungeon." Old Bear noticed Xia Yi's confusion and, with a friendly air, explained, "Many people, even some challengers, don't understand. But one of us has a unique ability. When the key appears, she can clearly sense that the progress of the Ladder dungeon is accelerating. Normally, we enter the dungeon and get the key on the last day or the day before. Even if the progress is accelerated, it's still at the end of the dungeon, so we don't notice anything. But now it's two days early, and we need to find the door as soon as possible."
"When I was in a dungeon with a super boss before, he also got the dungeon key two days in advance," Gao Yang said indignantly. "After we found the door, he opened it and ran away. We hadn't gathered all the information yet, so we couldn't answer the door's blocked answer. We were chased by ghosts for two whole days. I swear, that was the most embarrassing dungeon I've ever been in!"
"Maybe not from now on." Luo Dian seemed to calm down after being too nervous. "I just said that the living people seem to have been eaten by the mirror elves. Now there are no living people in the entire manor except us. Now the footsteps from all directions are coming towards us. The only advantage is that they can't teleport here. How can we leave?"
As he was speaking, Xia Yi also heard the noisy footsteps outside the window, and Xiang Jiu poked his head in.
"I knew you could find something good! You're awesome!" Xiang Jiu's eyes lit up, and he looked at the key in Xia Yi's hand intently.
"Let's go outside the manor. You all came in from outside the manor, which means there are no restrictions outside the manor, right?" Xia Yi ignored Xiang Jiu's flattery, "At least go and see the Xia family. I think the door should be at the Xia family." Xia Yi looked around Xia Lijuan's bedroom. After the handheld mirror on the dressing table was broken, there was no more mirror decoration in the room.
Old Bear and Gao Yang Luo Dian exchanged glances. Not long after, prompted by Luo Dian's comment that the mirror spirit was getting closer, Old Bear gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go to the Xia family. Let's go downstairs first. I know where Mr. Xia's car is parked. Both the Xia and Jing families live in wealthy areas, not far away. We can just drive over there."
Xiang Jiu waited obediently for Xia Yi and the others to finish their discussion. When Xia Yi was leaving, he turned sideways to let a few people pass first.
As Xia Yi walked down, he heard the loud "dong, dong, dong" sounds of flesh hitting the marble floor from behind.
"Xiangjiu, can you become smaller?" After seeing Luo Dian frowning and covering his ears, Xia Yi asked Xiangjiu without any burden.
"I can undo the transformation, but after I became smaller and was wrapped in armor, I couldn't control the consciousness in my mind." Xiang Jiu nodded. "Should I change back? If you tell me to, I can change. But you can't abandon me after I change. You have to keep me safe and sound."
Xia Yi pondered. In the previous instance, Xiang Jiu had stayed by Teacher Zhou's side, searching for clues and keys. But in this instance, it was like he'd suddenly found a relative. He wasn't in a rush to find the keys himself, but instead, he told her all the clues. Did he really trust her to help him escape? This reaction was like finding a mother for himself, wasn't it?
Xia Yi thought a lot and hesitated, but still couldn't ask in front of so many people.
"Yes." Xia Yi nodded and agreed to Xiang Jiu's request, "But don't change now. Help us squeeze out a path first."
Xia Yi stared at the bottom of the stairs and the living room. He smelled human scent and heard the mirror scales scraping against each other. He felt his scalp tingling as mirror elves swarmed over.
"How many people in the Jing family have turned into mirror elves?"
"The Jing family has hired over a hundred servants, plus the people from the other branches who have come over in the past few days. The entire castle is occupied. This probably means everyone in the Jing family castle has been brought here." Xiang Jiu answered in Xia Yi's mind, his voice soft and soft, "What should I do?"
Xia Yi touched his fist and thought calmly: "Gao Yang, your gun should be able to temporarily stop these mirror elves from moving forward. Xiang Jiu, with your current strength, you can definitely knock them away. You will clear the way and try to clear a path to the door. When we enter the manor courtyard, you can transform again and I will catch you then."
Lao Xiong and the others didn't say anything, but quickly adjusted their positions according to Xia Yi's actions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!" Gao Yang fired with both hands. The bullets were made of unknown material. After breaking the floor, they quickly bounced onto the mirror elf's thigh.
The mirror elf has a sense of pain, and its pace slowed down when it felt the pain.
Xiang Jiu seized the opportunity and rushed down the stairs. He lowered his head and used the scales on his head, which were made of the same material as the mirror elf, to support the mirror elf and rushed out quickly. The huge force hit the entire group of mirror elves, and the innermost ones began to fall outwards first. Then, like dominoes, the mirror elves fell to the ground.
Xia Yi saw the opportunity and quickly followed out, hitting the mirror elf a few times with just his elbow.
As soon as he walked out of the main hall, Xiangjiu shrank rapidly, and the whole cat became the size of a normal adult cat. The mirror scales made the black cat turn silver. After Xiangjiu became a mirror elf, it seemed to retain a certain IQ. It bypassed Lao Xiong and others and walked towards her aggressively.
Xia Yi thought Xiang Jiu recognized her and went to meet her, but she didn't expect Xiang Jiu to pounce on her while meowing and trying to bite her head. When he saw that he couldn't bite the whole head, he bit the tip of Xia Yi's hair, then stood on Xia Yi's shoulder with Xia Yi's hair in his mouth and didn't move.
So, the mirror elf Xiang Jiu thought she was easy to bully, so he rushed up and wanted to bite her head off!
Xia Yi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and did not pull Xiang Jiu down. He carried the cat and followed Lao Xiong into the master's garage quickly.
The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Xia were not far from the garage, and their deaths were miserable.
"I know the general location of the Jing family. It's not far by car." Old Bear said, pushing his feet hard and speeding past the two mirror elves that were rushing towards him. The car roared out of the manor. "This side of the Jing family is full of ancient-style buildings, the houses passed down from their ancestors."
There was a white lantern hanging on the gate of the house, and yellow paper money representing the dead was pasted on the door.
Xia Yi pushed open the door of the house. The decoration style of the whole house was exactly the same as what she saw through the mirror, except that it was hung everywhere with white gauze for commemorating the dead, and paper money and paper figures were also piled up in the yard. In the dark night, the cold wind blew, and everything was eerie.
"Don't pull it off." Xia Yi took Xiang Jiu off his shoulders.
"Oh my, this is too scary." Gao Yang shuddered and was the first to push open the main door. As soon as the door was opened, he was facing a full-length mirror. After Gao Yang was frightened, he felt a little excited. "Oh my god, look, is this the door?"
Above the full-length mirror, a silver door was faintly floating.
It looks like a gate to exit the game.
Xia Yi didn't say anything, but just opened the doors of several rooms next to him. One of them was the bathroom. There was also a mirror in the bathroom, and the same silver door was floating above the mirror.
