Chapter Eighty-Six: The Mirror World
If it were normal, I would have run away screaming, but at this point I could only force my composure. After a while, the monster came over to me, stopped next to the object that Li Mingyan had dropped, and stretched out its claws to pick it up.
"Eyes ......," it said, immediately glaring at all the eyeballs on it.
After a while, it took the object in its hand and turned away. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Li Mingyan next to me suddenly ran towards the monster, and I immediately blurted out: "Be careful!" ”
Only then did I realize that I had violated the taboo, and the youkai with eyes all over my body immediately spotted me, let out a strange scream, and ran towards me.
"Eyes! Eye! It rushed straight at me, stretched out its two sharp claws, and rushed towards my eyeballs.
I immediately dodged and ran in the direction of the inlet. The demon chased me relentlessly, and I was about to reach the inlet, but I couldn't see Li Mingyan.
"Li Mingyan!" I yelled, it was safe by this time, and I called out to him.
Unable to hear his response, I had to enter the bamboo forest again, and saw the monster holding him with one hand and the object with the other, and kept shouting, "The hundredth pair of eyes!" The hundredth pair of eyes! ”
I immediately understood that Li Mingyan was going to get back the objects that were stolen by the monsters. I immediately shouted at the youkai, "Hey! Eyes are here! ”
It heard my shouts and immediately came at me. I didn't dodge, and watched as the monster came to me step by step. It only has two claws, one holds Li Mingyan and the other holds the object, and it can't free up the other hand to grab me.
"Eyes ......" It was stunned for a moment, and after examining it for a while, it let go of the object in its hand, ready to catch me. At that moment, I coldly threw a stone at its biggest eye.
"Eyes!" It screamed, let go of the claws that grabbed Li Mingyan, and covered its eyes tightly. Take this opportunity. I immediately picked up the objects that fell on the ground and ran to the inlet with Li Mingyan.
We both gasped for air, and finally shook off the monster. I reached for the object in my pocket and handed it to the persistent man in front of me.
"Thank you." He said. Instead, carefully open it.
It was a pendant that could be used to place a photo, and it looked like a small goldfish, and in the photo inside, five people were happily hugging each other.
"It'......" I stared curiously at the object in front of me.
Li Mingyan smiled embarrassedly and said, "This was originally a birthday gift I bought for Yufei. ”
"Yufei's nickname is Little Goldfish. After a mission, I took an antique and exchanged it with someone else. It is said that this pendant was leaked from foreign courts, so I thought about making a birthday gift for the little goldfish. Our family rarely gets together, and this is a precious photo. I found someone to print it down and put it inside. ”
I didn't know what to say, I just felt a little pain in my throat.
"When you go out and hand over the little goldfish to her personally, she must be very happy!" I said.
Li Mingyan didn't speak, just smiled woodenly. For him, there is nothing more appealing than being reunited with his family. Everyone thought that this man was selfish and family-minded. In fact, everything he did was to make this family better, and too many people misunderstood him.
But once we find the exit, everything will be easy.
"I didn't expect you to run quite fast." He smiled at me and continued, "It's a good thing that the hell doesn't have a high IQ. ”
"The IQ is not high, but it is weird and disgusting."
As I spoke, I walked over to the inlet and took a closer look at the surface of the inlet. Indeed, as Li Mingyan said, this inlet is very shallow. It's so clear that you can see it all at a glance with the naked eye.
"If you're not mistaken, its name is the Hundred Eyes Demon. It was weak until it collected the hundredth pair of eyes, but it managed to find one hundred pairs of eyes. Things are in trouble. He looked at the lake in front of him and said lightly.
The fog was still heavy all around, and I looked at the fairyland-like water and suddenly had an idea.
Since when I entered this world, the mirror was the water of the lake, so is it possible? Is this lake a mirror? Could the mirror above my head where I can see another world be like an illusion, used to confuse us?
"Li Mingyan, do you know how to swim?" I asked suddenly with a sudden turn.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
The moment he answered me, I took his hand and jumped into the inlet.
According to the depth of the inlet as seen by the naked eye, jumping down like this is equivalent to hitting the wall with your head, which is undoubtedly death. However, I have always acted like this, and although it is easy to cause accidents if I am reckless, it is also possible to bump into a different path.
Li Mingyan is an old man, I can't convince him to jump, he does things after careful consideration. I just asked him to distract him so that I could pull him into the water.
Sure enough, as I expected, I jumped into the inlet, and the depth was completely unfathomable. Beside him, he went from fear at first, to surprise, and finally smiled at me. I knew he must have appreciated my audacity.
The bottom of the lake was deep, but it was very similar to what I saw in the mirror. I didn't swim any further, letting the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake drag me deeper and deeper. The feeling of suffocation and oppression soon spread to my whole body, I closed my eyes and tried to persevere, thinking that when I was about to see Qin Chuyi and Li Mingyan was about to see the only relative in this world, I had the strength and the courage to endure the pain.
He and I held hands tightly and waited for that moment to come. The deeper you go, the dimmer the light becomes, and the water becomes dirty. There were many times when I almost wanted to give up because I really didn't have much confidence to justify my recklessness. The more time passed, the more worried I became, until a faint white light came from the bottom of the lake beneath my feet.
It's a mirror!
I opened my eyes happily, and behind the faint light, I seemed to have seen the scene from Li Yufei's bedroom. I turned my head happily, ready to share the joy of the moment with him, but I froze there, and the bubbles in my mouth and nose instantly bubbled out.
What I was holding in my hand was just a shabby piece of clothing, the one that was worn on Li Mingyan's body and had been in that world for a long, long time.
I thought he had taken off his coat and swam around looking for him. The bottom of the water is vast, and I can't see anyone except the faint water feature. I started to panic, could it be that in a moment just now, Li Mingyan dived back to the surface?
"Wu Chao."
A voice sounded from behind me, and I immediately turned around, and a stone in my heart finally landed.
It's him. (To be continued.) )
