Volume 1: The Inside and Outside of the World 086 The Choice of the Mirror
Poplar walked into the cubicle, holding the huge tetrahedral gem in one hand and the key in the other, and placed it in front of him to take a closer look.
On the gemstones, the colors flow, and it seems that the pictures have been torn apart and mixed together, and several human figures are faintly visible.
It feels like the distortion that occurred when An Yi wanted to convey information through the mirror next to the sink.
When he saw this, he was very suspicious.
"Tetrahedral gems, five mirrors, distorted images?" he vaguely grasped the connection, but it seemed that something was missing.
He turned his gaze to the key.
If you ignore the jeweled decorations, the key itself is very ordinary, the same as the key used to open the security door, and it is slightly smaller, but the weight of the start is extremely heavy.
He tried to inject supernatural energy into the gem, but the primordial magic input was like a stone sinking into the sea, and when the power of faith was fed into it, the light on the surface of the gem rippled, but there was no follow-up reaction.
In the same way, he tried all kinds of possible combinations of keys and gems, such as hidden keyholes, setting slots, punch upgrades, etc., but found nothing.
He couldn't do anything now, so he sat on the toilet seat with the jewel in his hand.
Just as Yang Shu was puzzled, he suddenly remembered that the arrangement of the other four mirrors in the full-length mirror next to the washstand happened to be in the shape of a tetrahedron, and his own perspective was high, as if he was looking at the tetrahedron in his hand.
"Could it be that this tetrahedral gem is the tetrahedron in the mirror?" he couldn't help but make a bold guess.
Next, he intends to test his guesses.
With the gem in hand, he returned to the sink outside the toilet, and if it was an illusion, he noticed that the black mist at the doorway seemed to move a short distance inside.
Standing in front of the mirror, Poplar found that there were no figures in front of the other four mirrors, and it seemed that several other people had moved to other areas, and the other situation was not much different from Poplar's side, except for one point.
In the other mirrors, the men's toilet on the right side of the toilet was not as peaceful as the poplar tree, but was filled with black fog and a distorted chaotic aura.
"What's the situation?If Chu Qiu's space where they are is occupied by the aura of chaos, then where have they gone?" Yang Shu was shocked for a while, walking around in front of the mirror, scratching his head and failing to come up with the result.
"No, calm down. He realized that his current situation was very unfavorable to breaking the game, and silently recited the activation mantra of [Ice Heart], forced himself to calm down, and took out the key and gem again to observe carefully.
"Maybe it's not about the key, it's about the gems set in it. He suddenly remembered something he had been overlooking before.
The tooth of the key is surrounded by fine diamonds, which sparkle in the sunlight and shine brightly, and the junction between the tooth and the handle of the key is inlaid by a single black gemstone, which is carved into the shape of a skull, exuding an ominous atmosphere, and seems to affect the surrounding light, and the scenery will be distorted a lot through the air around the gem.
The handle of the spoon is hollowed out around the edge of the pentagonal shape with a ring of transparent crystals, which is mixed with a hint of black and silvery, while in the center is a large ruby, which is in the shape of a regular pentagon, and the facet is so smooth that the face of the poplar tree can be clearly illuminated.
Naturally, it also reflects the eerie sunlight that shines into the interior from the outside.
After the sunlight was reflected by the rubies on the keyhold, it turned from orange to crimson, which looked indescribably bewitching and weird, and in curiosity, the poplar adjusted the angle of the reflection and observed the light from different angles.
Inadvertently, the red light swept across the mirrors on the wall, and something unusual happened.
The red light hits the mirror surface, and it is not reflected, but shines into it, extending towards the space in the mirror.
"Mirror, light?" a flash of light flashed in Poplar's brain.
He adjusted the angle of the key so that the red light that entered the mirror world hit one of the four mirrors in the mirror world.
A magical scene unfolded in front of the poplar tree, the red light was reflected by the mirror in the mirror, shot out of the mirror again, and disappeared into the black fog outside the toilet door.
He grasped the key in one hand, and in the other, he held the tetrahedral gem, blocking the red light that shot out of the mirror, and the red light was absorbed by the ruby, and nothing unusual happened.
"It doesn't make sense, what's missing?" Poplar frowned, looking at the key, the mirror, and the gem.
Around the key, a circle of transparent hedron shimmered, and some of the black and silver white in it were particularly conspicuous.
"Could it be the energy?" he guessed, recalling the primordial magic and the power of faith that had been injected into the gem earlier.
At the same time, he also began to act, mobilizing the primordial magic power, and poured the gem again, and as the primordial magic continued to be injected, the circle of transparent spars on the key was gradually filled with black.
After using up about a third of his native mana, the circle of transparent hedron was filled with black, and he could no longer send mana to the gem.
Gradually, along the handle of the key, the black color in the transparent hedron flowed towards the skull-like black gemstone that was the chimera.
After another ten seconds, the spar returned to its transparent color, and the black gem became even darker and deeper, and there seemed to be a glow in the hollow eye sockets, which made people shudder.
Suddenly, the skeleton's mouth opened and closed with a miserable laugh, the red light suddenly disappeared, and the gem in Yangshu's hand burst out with an extremely high heat that forced him to let go of his hand, and the gem fell to the ground.
A flowing black curtain of light rose from the gem and suspended in the air, and a picture gradually emerged from it.
In a relatively empty space of about 100 bungalows, a tall stone statue stands in the center, the ground is paved with white tiles and the surrounding walls are gray, and there are some faint red lines on the wall, forming a certain pattern.
Above, there is a whole white halo of light, which makes people unreal, and the white light emitted illuminates the entire space, giving people the feeling of magnesium lights.
The shape of the stone statue is exactly the same as the statue that Poplar saw in the second compartment, with a slender neck, a slender tail, bat wings, horns on its head, thick and powerful arms, and slender and sharp claws.
Surprised, Poplar did not take any further action, but stopped in front of the light curtain and observed the changes in the picture on it.
After a while, a human figure appeared at the bottom of the frame, judging by the figure, it should be a woman.
Looking at this slightly familiar shadow, Yang Shu couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart, and a not very good premonition lingered in his mind.
"They won't be ······"
Soon, the man came into view of the mirror, her back to the poplar tree, her black tights outlined the graceful curves of her body, her short blond shoulder-length hair was particularly cute, and there was a pair of fluffy wolf ears on her head that kept shaking, adding to the cuteness.
It was none other than Rachel.
She seemed a little surprised when she entered this space, and her pace paused for a moment, and after scanning left and right for a while, she resumed her movements, and walked straight towards the statue in the center, while her body gradually became a beast, her teeth and nails elongated and sharpened, and the magic of natural magic green lingered on her fingertips, ready for battle.
Soon, Rachel was around the statue, she circled around the pedestal with a solemn expression, probably looking for something, and even stepped forward to touch the statue, but there was no response, her expression revealed a trace of doubt.
Finally, Rachel lost her patience and turned away from the statue, heading towards the other end of the space, partially disarmed.
"She's easy to sneak up on like this. Yang Shu looked at this scene, frowned, and said.
As if responding to poplar's words, after Rachel turned around and disarmed some of the energy, two faint blue lights rose from the statue's two huge eyes.
"Be careful!" In a hurry, the poplar tree standing outside the light curtain shouted loudly, and was immediately stunned, changed to a wry smile, and continued to look at the picture in the light curtain worriedly.
The two faint blue rays of light became more and more abundant in the eyes of the statue, and as the light spread, the eyes of the statue became more and more intense, and the fierce aura of the whole body became more and more dignified, and the poplars felt a sense of oppression through a light curtain.
There was no movement during the whole process, so Rachel was unaware of this, and still walked forward, with her back to the statue.
Poplar couldn't help but clench his fists and hold his breath.
Finally, two rays of light spread throughout the entire eyeball, and then, in just a moment, the dark blue light spread all over the body, and at the same time, the stone blocks on the statue's body began to fall off, revealing the gray-black flesh underneath, and the fragments fell to the ground with a "boom" sound.
Poplar finally remembered what it was.
