Chapter 111 Yin Peach Blossom (41) [This isn't the medicine Ah Tan used...]
[You're making this kind of joke again!]
【impossible】
That's impossible..., right?
Didn't you see Ah Tan breathe a sigh of relief? Allow me to speak in my shipper's mind; he's probably afraid of dragging Lu Lu into this.
[I only started to have doubts after seeing this part. Ah Tan hates physical contact and crossing boundaries, except for Lu Lu. And when Mirror God flirted with Ah Tan, Ah Tan didn't resist at all; it was like he was condoning it!]
Indeed, others might fearfully worship this being a god, but Ah Tan only sees the god as a pawn, considering how to use him later. He didn't even flinch; is it because he doesn't want to show any weakness in front of the god, or...?
[Yeah, with that kind of ability, it's impossible for him not to dodge it. Our Atan is just lazy, not really bad at it!]
Xie Tan himself: No, I'm just bad at it, lazy and bad at it.
He didn't move at that moment because he was under God's pressure. He knew he was powerless to fight back and was even more afraid of angering God and implicating Xiao Liu.
As for the god's complete lack of boundaries, firstly, he had a psychological expectation of the "trolls," and secondly, he attributed it to his own pheromones. The evil god could certainly smell them too, but while other ghosts and monsters would be bewitched, the evil god would not. He might just find the smell pleasant and join in the fun.
But as he saw these speculations increasing, he also became hesitant. At that time, he... seemed to have failed to be on high alert; he was caught off guard and was a little frightened.
Perhaps the mirror god moved too quickly.
Is it really Lu Lu? Lu Lu would never let A Tan make a wish to die.
[And Ah Tan's expression... he's definitely smitten, no way!!!]
[How could this chapter end here! LuLu, come quick to save you! Your other half (physical) is trying to kill your other half (emotional)!!]
[Ah Tan probably won't agree, otherwise the Sleeping Curse arc will remain forever... I was so afraid that Ah Tan would just stay like that!]
Yes, Ah Tan still has unfinished business, otherwise would he have lived long enough to see the new series start? [bitter smile]
[Lu Lu doesn't talk like that, it's so strange]
[That's right, the Mirror God can see Ah Tan, which matches everyone's guess. He may be able to ignore world lines and time and exist eternally. Lu Lu can't do that, right?]
[Yes, we also encountered Atan in the passage leading to the Smoke Mirror (the monster's esophagus). It was probably because he was connected to the Smoke Mirror that he was shrouded in black smoke and developed some divinity.]
[Lu Tui felt that although the differences were huge, there was also a strange sense of similarity... was it still because of the dual souls in one mirror?]
[Since they share the same origin, both Lulu and the Mirror God saw through A-Tan's desire to die, and both liked him very much. However, due to their different personalities, their methods differed. The Mirror God aimed to fulfill A-Tan's wish, while Lulu simply clung to A-Tan, bringing him joy and helping him live a good life.]
Perhaps it's just a difference in mindset.
[Impossible! Who remembers how insane and despairing the worldviews of the Stormy Days and Dream series were, where gods were the sole sorcerers of war and death...]
[Yeah, if it really is one, how do you explain the difference between Lu Lu and the Mirror God? It can't be that Lu Lu has been faking it all along, right?]
[But one thing is certain: Lu Lu was also born from a mirror. This explains some of the inconsistencies in this man. For example, the heart-to-heart talk after the Bubble episode. At the time, I was only focused on the sweet moments, but now, looking back, Lu Lu's words seem to imply that "it's all others making wishes to me." His incomprehension of the past and future are also foreshadowing. And the "impermanence of life," the young lady's statement about "remaining detached"... he is also part of the god of impermanence.]
[Does anyone understand? I've always felt that Lu Lu's "kindness" was almost inhuman... It transcended the realm of normal human kindness...]
I understand! Doing good deeds should be as simple as breathing; kindness itself should become a rule in the world...
The feeling of inhumanity... indeed. Xie Tan had noticed this a long time ago. He didn't really care. In his eyes, no matter how many contradictions and inconsistencies Lu Jinzhao had, he was still more like a human being than him.
He often thought that perhaps Lu Jinzhao was his most beautiful fantasy about people who interacted with each other in this boring world... No matter which world it was, it had almost become a standard of fairy tales, so it was perfectly normal for Lu Jinzhao to be different from others.
Now, as if trying to unravel a mystery surrounding Lu Jinzhao, he became interested and revisited Lu Jinzhao's character profile. After reading through all of them, he began to worry about Lu Jinzhao's identity.
Previously, Xie Tan only thought that Lu Jinzhao was a god-like protagonist, and that he would be safe no matter what happened to anyone else... But now that Lu Jinzhao is still the protagonist, and may even be half of the most powerful god, Xie Tan is starting to worry.
Back to the comic, continuing with the daily blind box scene, Xie Tan froze... Why did they draw this part?!
It was a clip of him showing Xiao Liu his phone. Xiao Liu was curious about what it was and kept tapping around. Suddenly, he looked serious, though he didn't know what he was tapping.
"Why are you watching two boys kissing?" Xiao Liu holding up a phone screen covered in mosaics successfully left Xie Tan, both inside and outside the comic, completely blank and bewildered.
[Holy crap, hahaha!]
What are you watching, Little A-Tan! Where is justice? Where is morality? Where are values? Where is the connection?
So this is what little Atan is really like!
[Ah Tan reads BL (Boys' Love) novels, which means Ah Tan is male, and that Ah Tan likes Lu Lu—perfect!]
[Oh, we're kindred spirits. No problem, I enjoy watching it too.]
"How can that be the same? Our little Atan can even do it himself!"
[LuLu: I'm here! Where's the event?]
That would be even more beneficial for me.
[I want to see this, Sword God]
[Really?]
Judging from Ah Tan's expression, he probably doesn't know, haha, just as shocked as I am.
[But there's no internet, it's all offline... Ah Tan, hahahahahaha]
[It was in the regular blind box before. Lu Lu lost her phone in the water while saving someone, and she also needed to sign in for class and answer questions on her phone, so she borrowed Atan's phone for a day. I guess that's when Lu Lu downloaded it, hahaha]
[Lu Lu reading BL (Boys' Love) novels means Lu Lu is male, and that Lu Lu likes A Tan—perfect!]
[That's possible. As we all know, Angel Dog is incredibly curious and has explored all sexual orientations. He often makes various exclamations while reading. That's what happened when he borrowed Xiao Ai's shoujo manga last time; he read it with great interest.]
[Does reading BL (Boys' Love) count as self-enlightenment? Hahaha]
[I can't even imagine how red-faced Ah Tan would be if he could see this forum, hahaha]
Thanks for the invitation, I'm already incredibly famous.
Xie Tan covered his face with a book, took a deep breath, and for the first time, he, a person ostracized by society, felt the sensation of social death.
It would be better if he really died, thank you.
He abruptly put down his book, expressionless, and grabbed the culprit who was leisurely licking its fur by the bedside. He mercilessly ravaged the cat's head and tail until the cat's meows went from playful affection to fear and resistance, and finally to helplessness and submission. Only then did Xie Tan reluctantly let it go.
He remained silent for a moment, carefully checked the offline save file, and confirmed that there was no such thing.
He said that the good neighbor would not do such a thing.
It was the cat that caused him this.
Whether it understood his resentful gaze or not, the system cat let out a weak meow, looking very aggrieved, but it didn't offer any explanation in human language. So Xie Tan assumed that it was the evil cat system's fault.
The next episode features the regretful departure of the Mirror God. He and Xiao Liu search for an exit, and once again, a series of scenes unfold before their eyes, depicting a hellish picture of sudden deaths, even for the head of the family.
The pool water, covered with strands of hair and talismans, was crystal clear, and the body of the patriarch, who had drowned like an ordinary person, lay at the bottom.
The boy stood by the pool, his eyes downcast, watching the strands of hair drift and sway like water ghosts. Occasionally, golden light would shine through the gaps in the talismans pressed against the bottom of the pool by the strands of hair.
It was a darker gold, like a thick twilight reflected in shimmering waves.
Xie Tan's reflection couldn't be seen on the water, since he was now a ghost.
Upon learning of the "doomsday" prophecy, they left the Black Goat and arrived at Summer Garden in the dead of night, as if a storm was brewing.
Wow, that was so sudden, they all died in an instant?
[I knew it! The demon dog actually seems to like the mother and child, because this is truly the spectacle of the God of Impermanence unleashing his power...]
【Oh, where's Wolf Daddy? He should be out on a mission.】
[Ah Tan keeps looking at the holy water. What's wrong with the holy water?]
This water is very strange; it's different from the later ones. The intelligence says that the current holy water is used to bless the tribe.
[Ah Tan's glance was definitely not simple]
This "apocalypse"... I have a bad feeling about it...
[This couldn't have been left by Miss Qi; she's only a few years older than A-Tan. The legendary, shimmering wizard really does exist.]
[Lunch? It's daytime now??]
Sisters... this is truly an ominous sign... given the current situation...
[Isn't this the eclipse episode?! Oh my god!!]
[Ugh, that woman in red, she scared me to death! Is that the auntie version of Xia Wujin?]
This doll is terrifying!!
[But the mother and son are adorable; Ah-Tan only cares about whether his mom likes it or not.]
Judging from Ah Tan's completely unsurprised expression, he must know about his great-aunt's existence, so naturally he doesn't take it to heart.
[But wasn't my aunt supposed to have a traditional Chinese style? How come she's suddenly going for a Western look? Is her style really that versatile?]
[It hasn't been observed yet.]
Ah, the Mirror God says all wishes will come true!
Sixth Sister said she wanted to leave, even if it was the end of the world, so she really left, and it really was the end of the world.
The old lady wanted power and to become a noble lady. Wasn't the unclaimed tomb the princess's tomb? In the end, she and the princess's vengeful spirit became one, so she could be considered to have fulfilled her wish.
As expected, wishes are bound to be misinterpreted, and others will likely be no exception.
Wait, does that include the trash in front of the offerings?
[That patriarch's wish... oh my god...]
In the comic, when the butler probed, the unseen ghost curled his lips into a casual sneer and said sarcastically, "Black goats are such tough monsters... they're quite tenacious."
Then, as soon as the crow that brought the bad news left, the Xia family, whose minds were now active, received a message from the head of the Black Goat family.
The scene shifts back to the black goat.
Beneath the secret chamber lies the master of the household's room.
On the ceiling, black mist slowly seeped down the walls. As the mist passed by, it revealed a dark golden liquid beneath, as if the black mist had solidified.
The liquid flowed into the pool, and the talismans at the bottom of the pool shone brightly with golden light. The pool instantly churned up billowing black smoke, which surged into the entire mountain through the gaps in the glowing bricks, devouring the flesh and blood of all the corpses.
As the fog gradually dissipated, the white skeleton suspended in the pool suddenly opened its eyes, and flesh and blood reappeared on top of it. The person screamed in agony, a gruesome sight.
The water was murky from his blood, but after a while, it absorbed the blood and became like a mirror.
Scenes of white bones covering the black goat ripple on the water's surface, while a fleeting image of a handsome young man gazing at his reflection in the water is hidden deep within its depths.
The black goats died and came back to life.
[What a blatant mass resurrection! Are they trying to borrow another five hundred years from the Mirror God?!]
[How disgusting, like cockroaches that just won't go away...]
Wait a minute, doesn't anyone see this? This gold color... isn't that the color of Ah Tan's medicine?!
[Really! So the medicine Ah Tan used was actually... um, concentrated essence of the Smoke Mirror?]
Xie Tan realized that the broken mirror from the secret room had melted and flowed down.
He had hesitated before. If he kept the inhibitor in the holy water, the story would be full of twists and turns and have a lot of room for development, but it would be disadvantageous to him. He wasn't in the Black Goat, so how could he get the holy water? The head of the family was still living inside... He refused the steamed white octopus soup.
But if it's the smoke mirror itself, there's even more freedom.
His recent condition made him feel uneasy, so he no longer hesitated and used Chekhov's Spear to capture the dark golden liquid flowing down from the ceiling and bind it to his inhibitor.
Something has subtly changed.
