Chapter 44 (II) The Mirror World
The minecart slowed down sharply, and at the same time the two heard the sound of hitting the water, and then a large amount of water poured into the minecart from all directions, and the two knew that they were saved, and God did not give up on them, and there was a huge puddle below.
"There's fog, the lights must be turned on!" Colin said, turning on his shoulder lamp, floating on the surface of the water and shining in all directions.
Tang Shuxing also took the opportunity to turn on the shoulder lamp, illuminating the surroundings, and subconsciously tasted a mouthful of water, which was very salty, indicating that it was seawater, and somewhere below was already connected to the bottom of the sea.
The caverns below were still very deep, and the water was very deep, because their feet could not step on the bottom of the water, not even the mine that sank into the water, proving that the minecart had completely sunk underwater, and this all-steel thing was sinking very quickly.
The surroundings were full of fog, and the air was very thin, Tang Shuxing could still breathe freely, but Colin was a little struggling, so he could only take out the spare simple breathing apparatus and bite it, but that thing only had half an hour's amount of oxygen, and he couldn't inhale too much, otherwise he would soon run out.
"How to get there?" Colin turned his head to look at Tang Shuxing, because there was mist on all sides, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"I don't know what to do...... Go with the flow. Tang Shuxing shook his head and swam slowly to the right, Colin following behind, clutching the dagger.
After swimming to the right for only ten meters, he finally touched the shore, and the mist was so thick that if Tang Shuxing's body didn't feel it, he wouldn't have known that he had approached the underground water shore.
Tang Shuxing immediately turned over and climbed up, and took advantage of the situation to drag Colin up, just dragged up. The two of them realized that something was wrong, because the ground was so flat that it looked like terrazzo that had been polished by a machine.
Tang Shuxing squatted down and touched the flat ground, looked around and said, "This place is not naturally formed, it is artificial, and it may be connected to the dungeon." ”
"Doesn't that mean that there are people who can't see it?" Colin wiped the water from his face, raised his pistol, and slowly moved his steps forward with Tang Shuxing.
The flat ground still carries water, and the water seems to be flowing. Tang Shuxing squatted down again and felt it with his fingers for a while. Pointing to the direction where the water on the ground was flowing, he said, "Over there, take your time, I can't figure out what's ahead." ”
When Colin turned around, the light couldn't penetrate the smoke. Subconsciously turn off the lights. Turn the night vision goggles on. The moment he opened it, he saw a figure standing in the dense fog less than three meters away from him, just as he was looking intently. The figure dispersed like dust.
"Someone." Colin subconsciously said and stopped.
"Don't stop, don't stop." Tang Shuxing shook his head, "Keep moving forward, keep the current speed, those monsters shouldn't be chasing, they are afraid of water, if they do, we will be besieged a long time ago." “
Tang Shuxing was worried about whether there would be any accidents between Gu Madman and Ji Ye at the same time, so he could only pray that the two mines were together, and if they were going to die, they could only wait to be devoured by monsters.
Finally, the two of them reached the end of the smooth ground, and the mist in front of them was dispersed by the large, mirror-like barrier.
Tang Shuxing raised his eyes and saw that the barrier was more than ten meters high and at least dozens of meters wide, directly reflecting the figures of the two of them on it - they were so embarrassed that they couldn't get into their eyes.
"It's over." Tang Shuxing looked at the mirror barrier, "You go to the left, I'll go to the right, and see what is on both sides." ”
Colin nodded, the two of them acted separately, one searched for the other, Tang Shuxing walked for five minutes and then something was absolutely wrong, because the distance was too long, and he still didn't come to the end, so he had to go back immediately, and walked back for another five minutes, returning to what should have been the previous position, but Colin still didn't return.
"Colin?" Tang Shuxing pressed the intercom, and all he heard was rustling, and there was no signal at all.
"Colin—" Tang Shuxing shouted in the direction Colin had left, but there was no response.
At the same time, Colin on the other side was also looking around for Tang Shuxing, but he didn't hear the call or say anything, but he was also shouting loudly for Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing stood in front of the mirror and didn't dare to leave, worried that Colin would not find himself when he returned, he stood there, turned to look in the direction he came, and when he turned around, he saw a figure behind him, he immediately turned around, and when he turned around, the figure flashed and disappeared.
"Colin?" Tang Shuxing subconsciously shouted, but no one answered.
"Hey-" Tang Shuxing shouted again, but at this time, he clearly saw a figure walking around and looking around in the mirror, he looked intently, and found that it was no one else in the mirror, it was Colin.
"Colin! Colin! Tang Shuxing shouted, "How did you get in?" Feed! I am here! ”
Colin in the mirror didn't seem to hear Tang Shuxing's shouts at all, and continued to walk around, seemingly looking for Tang Shuxing.
Tang Shuxing slapped the mirror and made a dull sound, hoping to attract Colin, but Colin was still indifferent.
"Damn it, what's going on?" Tang Shuxing stroked the mirror up and down, left and right, wondering if Colin had inadvertently touched some mechanism that caused him to enter, but as he touched it, Tang Shuxing realized a very terrible thing - he was in front of the mirror before, and he could clearly see himself and Colin, why can't he see himself now, he can only see Colin in it?
Thinking of this, Tang Shuxing got up and subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Colin who was still anxiously looking around in the mirror, but he didn't see his shadow.
Tang Shuxing subconsciously waved his hand, but he still couldn't see anything from above.
"Hit the ghost." Tang Shuxing stood there and didn't dare to move anymore, just watched Colin in the mirror walking around, and then came to the mirror, as if he saw himself, yelling there, and then began to slap the mirror again.
Tang Shuxing still stood there indifferent, and did not step forward excitedly, because Colin's actions and actions in the mirror were exactly the same as his previous own. Immediately afterwards, Colin inside also squatted down and touched the mirror, and then as if he had found something, he retreated backwards, stood on the opposite side of Tang Shuxing, and then raised his hand and waved there.
At that moment, Tang Shuxing's whole body was as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he swallowed his saliva, knowing that the one in the Dao was not Colin, but some kind of strange reflection of himself, but the shadow had become Colin's appearance.
At this moment, Tang Shuxing suddenly saw Colin in the mirror showing a smile towards him, a "Is it fun?" Do you want to keep playing? This smile was the most terrifying smile Tang Shuxing had ever seen, and he couldn't help but shiver all over, and subconsciously looked around, worried that something was approaching, but after looking around, he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Colin in the mirror.
Colin began to change, becoming Tang Shuxing himself, and he was also covered in bruises, covered in blood, holding a pistol and a dragon blade in his hand, with a sad face, and he was silently saying something with his mouth open, as if he was making a prediction of what would happen next to Tang Shuxing.
"What are you kidding?" Tang Shuxing pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the mirror—the moment the bullet entered the mirror, it disappeared, without cracking the mirror, not even a slight collision.
Tang Shuxing took off the muffler, pulled the trigger continuously towards the mirror, and at the same time shot three bullets in a row, he found that his gunfire was only half of the sound every time and then disappeared, and the bullet also penetrated and disappeared, the mirror can not only absorb bullets, but also absorb sound, but the speed of absorption is not as fast as the speed of sound propagation, so it can only suck in half.
Tang Shuxing stood there stunned, and then took out the dragon blade and slowly inserted it towards the mirror, as soon as he inserted it, he immediately felt that there was a force desperately sucking the dragon blade, he had to stand there and pull it out desperately, while cursing his stupid behavior.
Just as he was desperately drawing his sword, he suddenly heard the sound of wings flapping from behind him.
Oops! The Flying Monster is coming! Tang Shuxing looked left and right, but still didn't see any trace of Colin, and the Colin in the mirror also disappeared, so he had to activate the corpse state, trying to use the power of corpse to pull out the sword, ready to fight those flying monsters. But who knew that it was good that he didn't turn into a corpse, but after the corpse, the suction of the mirror was even greater, and he instantly sucked Tang Shuxing and Long Lin Blade into the mirror together.
The moment he sucked it in, Tang Shuxing stumbled and almost fell, and after standing firmly, he froze there, looking at the ground covered with patterns, as well as the door in front of him that was carved and inlaid with gems, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The mirror is a door, there is a door inside, and there should be a security door outside? Tang Shuxing looked at the door inside, and it could be seen from the patterns on the door and some spell words that this door should also be made by ancient humans, but what was inside the door?
The sound of wings flapping was approaching, Tang Shuxing immediately turned around, stood with his sword in hand, and prepared to fight, but when he turned around, he found that the mist in the distance outside the mirror was completely gone, as if it could directly penetrate those mist through the mirror, and there was a huge cave outside, and those flying monsters were crashing around in the cave, and many of them fell to the ground because of this, unable to stand up on the smooth ground, and unable to flap their wings, as if the ground had unloaded all their strength.
Tang Shuxing did not put away his sword, but approached the barrier to look carefully, and looked at it only to find that Colin appeared on the side, knocking on the mirror as he walked, still looking for Tang Shuxing.
"Colin! Don't go over! There's a monster over there! Tang Shuxing ran to the mirror and shouted at Colin, but Colin's performance made Tang Shuxing realize that he could neither hear nor see himself in the mirror.
Tang Shuxing turned his head to look at the flying monsters outside, and found that most of the flying monsters began to return the same way, no, to be precise, they should have fled, and the remaining ones began to scatter with the flow of water, and at the same time, their bodies began to slowly dissolve in the water, and finally there was nothing left, as if it was not water, but highly corrosive sulfuric acid and the like.
Tang Shuxing recalled the time when he was sucked in before, and realized that maybe only corpses could enter this barrier, but what about going out? Can it also work? Maybe I can bring Colin in. (To be continued......)
