Chapter 367: The Man in the Mirror
Indulgent shouting, selfless crying.
The stars really woke up from a trance, and they were greeted by such a crazy scene.
Overwhelmed by the crowd, he struggled to swim among them, only to feel that the noise in his ears was overshadowing the waves, and there was no sign of weakness, which made him very irritable.
He never imagined that Mai's ideal world would be so wild, far from the fairy tale world he imagined, and even made him feel a little clueless.
Because he had been shuttling through the raging crowd for a while, he didn't find Mai's figure at all, only the various live events that were constantly changing, and the only thing that could catch his attention was the familiar figure on the stage.
It was a young man and a woman, followed by a guitarist who was crazy with the music, and a drummer who was reticent but equally addicted.
On the stage, they are sometimes low and sometimes high with the music, leading the emotions of the audience, and the most eye-catching are only the man and woman on the stage.
Camilla, and he... The stars are true.
They seem to belong to this stage by nature, and the tacit understanding between them is natural, attracting all the eyes on the field firmly, but in their eyes, they can only tolerate each other. Every interaction between them, every look back, brings a different kind of charm and makes people intoxicated.
"Is this what Mai sees in her eyes..."Looking at the performance on the stage that was different from herself, Zhu Xingzhen was silent for a moment, and then showed a slight smile, "It feels good." ”
As Zhu Xingzhen's footsteps stopped, the noise in his ears seemed to gradually subside, but it was the unexpected effect of getting rid of the irritability in his heart and concentrating his energy.
I didn't expect that an unintentional move would cause such an effect, and Zhu Xingzhen was quite helpless.
At this time, the stage changed again in accordance with the wishes of the 'creators', from the stage of the concert to the racing event, and the roaring sound of the engine made the stars who had become a little accustomed to music really frown.
However, having already gained experience, the stars really calmed down, ignoring the roar of the engines, and expanding the ripple form of the mind centered on itself, trying to locate the center of this 'world' - Mai Midorikawa.
I have to say that the mirror image of 'Asmantis' is really amazing.
The discovery that the 'people' detected by the true mind of the stars all have unique brain waves like real human beings, as if they are the inhabitants of this 'world' who really exist, rather than simply mirrored images, which adds more pressure to the search for the stars.
He himself is not good at the delicate operation of this kind of ultra telekinesis, and it is really difficult for him to accurately locate Mai's existence among these thousands of people.
However, it is not impossible to take advantage of it, at least Zhu Xingzhen has thought of a way to eliminate most of the number of people, and only need to remove the men in the field, which can safely and securely improve the search efficiency.
It may be difficult to find one among tens of thousands, but it is much easier to find one Mai among nearly 10,000 women.
With the spread of Ultra's telekinetic power, Zhuxingzhen also began to move, locking all the women in the area and eliminating them one by one.
After spending a little time, the stars finally locked on Mai's position before the next scene change.
......
It may have been a long time for the vision to fall apart, but Asuka only felt that his eyes were bright, and he was already in a strange space.
But at this moment, Asuka didn't have the heart to look at the strangeness around him, just stared at his empty fist right hand with a complicated expression.
It's empty.
The face of the 'father' when he threw the baseball is still vivid, but the baseball, which represents the connection between the two, has disappeared...
Or maybe that baseball didn't exist in the first place.
Everything was just an illusion created by 'Asmantis', an illusion intended to indulge him in... Illusion.
But if it is an illusion, why does the 'father' in the illusion wake himself up so well-intentioned?
If you just want him to indulge in it, 'Father' has already done it, hasn't he? Why did he wake himself up? Even before disappearing, you were still pointing yourself in the right direction?
Is that really 'Father'? Or is it...
Asuka's mind was in a mess.
It was not surprising that Kirino Mufu on the side saw it, when he first came out of the mirror world, he was just as confused as him, and he didn't know whether everything that happened in the mirror was true or false.
It is because the world created by 'Asmantis' is so 'perfect', so perfect that people can't distinguish the boundary between reality and mirror image, so that people who have experienced the 'ideal country' can be so crazy and so fascinated...
Until the stars came out of the crystal with Mai, the birds still didn't come back to their senses.
Zhu Xingzhen was a little surprised when he saw the bird standing on the sidelines, and felt that it was reasonable, but he didn't understand what his current situation was.
His puzzled gaze swept to the other side of Kirino Mufu, but he only got a shrug and a helpless smile.
Mai who was pulled out didn't care about this, at this time, she only felt that Zhu Xingzhen saw her crazy dream of chasing stars in her heart and her face was flushed with shame, and some of them were ashamed that they had forgotten their mission as a SUPER-GUTS teammate.
With this embarrassment, Mai ran from Zhu Xingzhen to Asuka in a puff of smoke, and raised her hand to knock on Asuka on the brain.
"How long are you going to be in a daze, Team Birds~Member~"
"Huh? Yes... It's Mai..."
Asuka, who was in pain, suddenly woke up, but he didn't react much after seeing Mai, and he seemed to be distracted.
"What!"
Mai was suddenly unhappy, and began to teach her 'juniors' a lesson.
"Haven't you woken up from your vision? You know, we still have a task to complete, and we don't have time for you to be in a daze here! ”
"Vision..."
Asuka muttered to himself, and then seemed to come to his senses completely, and looked at Mai in surprise.
"Mai, you also came out of the illusion??"
"W-Of course!"
Mai was a little cautious, she was brought out by the Star Advisors in the Crystal World, otherwise she might not know when she would find out that everything was just an illusion...
But these can't be known to the birds, otherwise it will be too big!
Cautiously glanced at Zhu Xingzhen behind him, revealing a pitiful pleading look, and was overjoyed when he found that the other party responded to her with a roll of his eyes, and it seemed that there was no need to worry about leaking this secret.
"As a genius girl who joined SUPER-GUTS before you, how could I be deceived by a mere illusion~" Mai, who had confidence in her heart, immediately became angry, "It's like a member of the Flying Birds, and I haven't woken up yet, it's really bad!" ”
I thought that according to Asuka's temperament, being squeezed like this would definitely not be outdone's counterattack, Mai just pulled the topic away, but she never thought that Asuka just smiled bitterly and didn't refute.
"Ah, yes, that's bad," Asuka laughed to himself.
"Huh??" This time it was Mai's turn to be surprised, so she hurriedly reached out and touched Asuka's forehead, and then touched herself, and said nervously, "It's so strange, are you really a member of the Asuka team??" You won't get sick, will you? Although I just wanted to stop you from talking too much, I wouldn't be so cooperative... Or am I still in an illusion? Double illusion?? ”
"Enough trouble."
Zhuxing really walked over angrily, and unceremoniously pulled Mai's back collar away again, and saw the interaction between Asuka and Mai a little crying and laughing.
"It's really not an illusion, I can vouch for that."
"It's hard to say, maybe the star advisors are also illusions? It's like just now..."
Mai, who wanted to question it, was shocked to find that she almost missed her mouth, so she quickly stopped the topic and covered her mouth, and then before Zhu Xingzhen raised her hand slightly to make a beating gesture, Mai quickly covered her little head with the hand covering her mouth and took a few steps back, nodding desperately, indicating that she gave in to Zhu Xingzhen's 'violent threat'.
"You should be able to distinguish between reality illusions, right?" Seeing that Mai's mouth was finally blocked, Zhu Xingzhen put away his gesture and said to Asuka, "Then we have to hurry up and go out, we have wasted too much time, and I don't know what the situation is outside..."
"Hmm."
I have to say that this mirror image seems to have a great impact on the bird, and it seems to have made him mature a lot all of a sudden, which makes Zhu Xingzhen a little interested in the illusion that the bird 'sees', but it probably involves personal privacy, and Zhu Xingzhen stopped the idea of asking.
"So, how do we get out?"
These words were said by Zhuxingzhen to Kirino Mukio.
In terms of understanding this mirror space, Kirino Mufu, who has been here for some time, naturally has a lot more than the three of them, and it is the stars who save themselves the time to explore.
"This space is similar to the 'world' formed by those crystals, although it does not have the ability to create mirror images, but with the permission of 'Asmantis', it is only necessary to enter and exit through personal will." Kirino Mufu nodded and greeted Asuka and Mai, and after explaining, he smiled, "Under the operation of 'Asmantis', this space can be said to have no restrictions on people's entry and exit, and if you want to go out, you only need to have this kind of thought, and you can easily get out." ”
"Eh~ Didn't we waste a lot of effort when we came in?"
Mai stood beside Zhu Xingzhen a little weakly, and glanced at the door of Asuka's head.
"It's good that you know, next time I have something like this, I'll definitely test you first..."
Following Mai's line of sight, Asuka realized that he was still wearing the 'device' that was said to have been developed by Nakajima, and immediately glared at Mai angrily, and then quickly took it off and threw it aside.
However, Asuka seems to have recovered, and his mood is no longer in the same mood as before, thanks to Mai's 'help'.
"Then we'd better get out early..."
Asuka and Mai are recovering well, and the 'Ideal Realm' in Crystal City has also been experienced, and Zhuxing really thinks it's time to leave.
However, when Zhu Xingzhen's eyes swept around, he felt that something was wrong in his heart.
"Wait, these glowing crystals... There's someone in there, right? ”
Frowning tightly, the stars really had a bad conjecture.
"Anyone??"
Mai saw the crystals around her that were covered by a faint mist, and she couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone inside, floating densely in this space, countless points of light were gathering together little by little, accumulating into a glowing spherical shape.
"In other words," Asuka reacted.
"There are thousands of humans in this mirror puppet!"
Zhu Xingzhen said with a grim face.
This mission seems to have added a bit of variables...
