Chapter 1003 Mirror World
Main universe, mirror world.
As the name suggests, this is a world that exists in the mirror.
It is impossible to list its specific "geographic location". The mirror world is just like conceptual areas such as "Time Domain" and "Tribunal of Truth". It cannot be reached by "walking" or "flying". It can only be entered through some special methods.
But at this time, the four "Drunk Life and Dream Death" members of the Order Team were trapped in the Mirror Realm and couldn't get out...
After the transmission was completed, they appeared on a road about two feet wide and as colored as cinnabar; this "cinnabar road" was suspended in the air and thinner than silk. Both sides and bottom of the road were empty. From a distance... ...like a wide ribbon floating in the air.
Standing on this cinnabar road... looking up, the sky is like white frost, and there is a black sun dotted in the sky; looking down, the abyss is like a black tide, and a white hole can be seen at the bottom of the abyss.
At both ends of the road, it seems endless, with no end in sight.
"I've been walking for more than an hour, and the surrounding scenery still hasn't changed much..." Zui Wanran, who was walking at the front of the team, seemed to have begun to lose his patience.
"And I haven't found Guixiao yet... Hier~" Meng Jingchan followed him, strolling around with a cigarette in one hand and wine in the other. He was in a state of ~, as if he was taking a walk after a meal, completely out of the script. Tension in the world.
"Don't worry about that kid, he'll be fine anyway." Sashimi continued after hearing this, "On the other hand, we... what kind of reputation are we now?"
"I always feel like... there are a lot of things wrong." Wu Shenshenxuan, who was in charge of the post-disruption, muttered in a deep voice, "The situation when loading was very strange. After loading, the mission was never triggered; the substitute player entered the script inexplicably. , but Gui Xiao is nowhere to be found..." He paused, "And... these monsters..."
While he was speaking, six muscular figures wearing armor and holding long swords appeared in front of the team.
In such an environment, players don't have much choice. They can only keep moving along the road... and this road. From time to time, a group of such roadblocks will appear.
"What is it this time, the Yin soldiers (also known as the underworld soldiers, who belong to King Yama and are responsible for escorting the souls of the recently deceased)?" Zui Woran, who was responsible for opening the way, said sadly while clenching his fists to move.
The speed of his fist movement is as fast as lightning, and the force of his fist wind is as strong as thunder.
In an instant, hundreds of golden rays of light burst out at random, killing all the Yin soldiers. Dry corpses were left on the ground.
"Speaking of which... the monsters here all adhere to the magical colors of the East." Meng Jingchan commented casually, standing behind Zuiwo Wanran like a spectator.
After seeing this, everyone should understand... Why does Meng Jingchan, who is second in the team, dare to smoke and drink while walking?
Because... the path opener in front of him is so reliable.
Ever since he learned this move [Lightning Speed Punch] when he was drunk and regretful, no ordinary monster could pass even half a step in front of him.
The description of this skill is not much to list... To put it simply, it is an A-level version of Pegasus Meteor Fist. It has significant advantages such as low consumption, high power, and no cooling time.
With Zui Wo Suan Ran's hard power (specialization, equipment, passive skills, title ability bonus) and a set of lightning-fast punches, monsters below the mini-boss level can basically be eliminated. Even if you encounter a mini-boss, this move is the best choice for a tentative attack.
"Brother Zen, I see you are very free..." After hearing Meng Jingchan's sarcastic words. Zuiwo turned around sadly and said, "How about you come and give me a section?"
"If we meet two more batches of monsters and the situation still hasn't improved, then we'll change hands." Meng Jingchan said. He took another drag on his cigarette and said, "Uh-when that time comes... I'll be able to handle it just fine."
"Oh..." Zui Wo suddenly heard something from the other party's words, "So you also found that 'they' are getting stronger and stronger?" His voice became louder, "But why is your relaxed state so different from ours?" There is no difference at all when encountering the first batch of monsters?"
"Hiccup~" Brother Zen took another sip of wine. He replied, "It shows that I have confidence in you."
"Rub-" Faced with this answer, Zui Wo could only use this word to express his inner feelings.
"Okay. There's nothing to worry about." Two seconds later, Wu Shenshenxuan stepped forward and said to them in a long voice, "I also found out about the monster. I just wanted to tell you. ...The strength of these monsters blocking the road is obviously increasing batch by batch." He paused for half a second, "Following this trend, if we continue walking at the same speed for another half hour, then every batch of monsters blocking the road will be a boss. level."
“Although that won’t lead to the destruction of our team, when the mission is not yet clear and we know almost nothing about the script, it is debatable whether we should continue to follow such a path... "Sashimi quickly understood the meaning of Shishengen and took advantage of the situation.
"Tch... If I had known this, we should have split up from the beginning." Zui Wo shrugged sadly, "Maybe if we go in another direction, the monster will become weaker and weaker?"
"Let's forget about the hindsight." Wu Shi Shen Xuan added helplessly, "Besides... considering the piss-prone nature of this game, how likely is this to be do you think?"
"Then what should we do?" Zui Wo said sadly, "After talking for a long time, don't we still have to continue walking in this direction?"
"Well..." Sashimi pondered, "At least we can choose to stay where we are and rest, right?"
boom--
As if in response to Sashimi's words, just before he finished speaking, a loud noise came from behind them.
The four of them looked back together, only to see...hundreds of meters away, a dark ball of black light exuding monstrous evil power suddenly appeared, cutting off the cinnabar road, and began to slowly move towards the Order members. Wherever he stood, he moved; wherever he passed... the path seemed to be corroded and disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Meng Jingchan was still in the mood to make a joke: "Fish fillet, are you planning to raise a flag to enhance your presence?"
"Don't be wordy..." A face with pain appeared under the sashimi pot cover, and he complained, "In any case, it is better than smoking, drinking and boiling to increase your sense of presence..."
"Okay..." Compared to these weird teammates, Captain Wu Shenshenxuan is indeed a rare normal person, "Let's leave quickly. At least this time we have a clear goal... We can't leave without leaving. "
…………
At the same time, it was also in the mirror world, on a certain section of Cinnabar Road.
Wuwuwu——
Accompanied by the sound of a harmonica played poorly, two figures were teleported here.
"What kind of place is this?" As soon as Gui Xiao stood still, he cautiously distanced himself a few steps from the person next to him and turned around to ask.
"Mirror Realm." Feng Bujue replied concisely.
"So...what did you bring me here for?" Gui Xiao asked again.
"Bring you to meet your teammates." Feng Bujue said.
"Ok~ok~" Gui Xiao tilted his head and waved his hand, "We'd better talk clearly now..."
"Say it." Feng Bujue looked at the other party with a half-smile and responded.
"First of all, what happened last time... I heard Brother Chan tell you, I have to thank you." Gui Xiao was naturally referring to the incident where he was kidnapped; since he didn't know that the live broadcast of the game had been terminated, He didn't make it clear.
"You're welcome, the main thing you have to do is to smoke and drink." Feng Bujue said.
"Yes." Gui Xiao nodded and added, "But that is a private matter after all... and the competition in front of me is my job."
"I understand~ I understand." Feng Bujue said, "Out of professional ethics and quality, you will never show mercy in the competition... That's what you want to say, right?"
"Yes." Gui Xiao replied, "Besides, I really don't understand now... What do you mean by this series of actions that seem to be 'helping me'? Even if the task is not triggered, the basic rules of the game will not change. Right? There is only one winning team. You and I are not on the same team. Sooner or later we will have to decide the winner."
"My purpose... haha..." Brother Jue smiled, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you. You said it yourself... We are rivals."
"Since you know it well, what nonsense are we talking about?" After hearing this, Gui Xiao immediately opened his stance and prepared to fight.
"Wait a minute..." Feng Bujue took a step back and raised his hand to stop him.
"What's wrong?" Gui Xiao looked impatient.
"I might as well make it up to you like this..." Feng Bujue replied, "At this stage, I am not prepared to fight you."
"Is this up to you?" Gui Xiao asked a very good question.
"Good question." Feng Bujue answered, "This is really up to me..." After saying that, he raised his hand and patted his luggage, "Right now, the 'Zhuanjie Harmonica' given by Billy is in my possession. With my hands, I can leave this space alone at any time if I want, and you...can't catch me."
"Hmph... won't you be doomed if I miss you before teleportation?" Gui Xiao snorted coldly.
"You don't believe this yourself, do you?" Feng Bujue laughed.
Gui Xiao curled his lips: "Then what do you want?"
"The choice is yours..." Feng Bujue replied, "You have three choices - one, follow me and meet your teammates; two, attack me, and I will kill you without saying a word. Go away, and you can do whatever you want next." He paused, "Thirdly... you can pretend to choose the first option, and then find an opportunity to kill me in the process."
After Gui Xiao heard this, he thought for a few seconds and said, "I choose three."
"Hey...if you choose three, should you also say you chose one when you answer?" Brother Jue said with a bitter smile.
"I am... so upright." Gui Xiao tilted his head, showing a provocative face, "I just want to choose three... choose three - choose three!"
He said the important words three times, his voice and tone getting louder each time.
"Okay, okay..." Brother Jue shook his head, "Then..." He made a "please" gesture, "Please..."
"What are you asking for? Do you want me to go to the front? What if you attack me unexpectedly?" Gui Xiao is not stupid either.
"Okay~Okay~" Feng Bujue felt like he was coaxing a child, "Let's walk side by side..." (To be continued.)
