Chapter 184: Strange Mirror City (Part I)
Kyoji Miyake and Masaji Maeda finally broke away from the running team and hid directly in the corner next to them, and after listening to the footsteps of everyone, Kyoji Miyake slowly got up.
Maeda Masaji asked, "General, what should we do?" ”
Kyoji Miyake thought for a long time and said, "Go back." ”
Maeda Masaji wondered: "Go back?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Yes, go back, go back to the upper floor, that high priest followed them, this is our chance." ”
Maeda Masaji is still puzzled: "What chance?" ”
Kyoji Miyake looked at Masaji Maeda and said, "A chance to become a god!" I will become a god, and you will be my shaman, my high priest! We can use that tree, create our world, train our army, and then go back to the surface and usher in our time! ”
Maeda Masaji shook his head slightly: "No......"
Kyoji Miyake grabbed Masaji Maeda: "This is our only choice, if we follow them and continue to move forward, they will kill us sooner or later!" Do you know what we are now? It's the guinea pig they experimented with, and they will let us go first in dangerous places! ”
Maeda Masaji said: "Just like before, we treated Tang Qianlin the same, right?" ”
Before Kyoji Miyake could reply, a voice sounded around them: "Yes, that's right, and besides, we will die a terrible death." ”
Kyoji Miyake and Masaji Maeda were stunned, they knew it was Victor's voice.
The two of them were frightened and looked around, but because it was pitch black, they couldn't see anything.
"It's okay, it's definitely just a hallucination, no, it's an auditory hallucination." Kyoji Miyake comforted himself like this, "It's okay, Maeda Shaosa, do you have a lighter?" Take it out! As long as there is light, as long as there is fire, there is no fear of anything! ”
When Maeda Masaji hurriedly took out a lighter from his pocket, he lit it and looked forward, but he was stunned, because he found that it was not Kyoji Miyake standing in front of him, but Berghardt, who looked anxious.
Berghardt looked at Masaji Maeda, but his tone and voice were that of Kyoji Miyake: "Hold it high!" Illuminate the surroundings and we will not be afraid of anything! ”
Maeda Masaji took a step back in fright, and at the same time found that countless black shadows appeared in the mirrors around him, and those black shadows gradually took shape under the illumination of the light, turning into familiar appearances.
The appearance of one of the teenagers made Maeda Masaji almost lose the lighter in his hand, because it was the first person he killed on the battlefield, a Chinese teenager, an unarmed passing child, the reason why he wanted to kill him was because Maeda Masaji did not fire a single shot in that battle, his actions angered his superiors, so he grabbed a passing child to him, let him stick a bayonet into the child's throat, and watched him die slowly.
Maeda Masaji did not obey, but said that he could not do it, and then there was a loud slap from his superiors, until he couldn't stand it anymore and stabbed the bayonet into the child's chest in the middle of his cry.
He still can't forget the way the kid looked at him, his eyes full of confusion and doubt.
At this moment, the child's eyes in the mirror were full of joy when he looked at him, a joy of imminent revenge.
At this time, in the eyes of Kyoji Miyake, he saw that Maeda Masaji in front of him had become Victor, and he had become a crazy Victor, and he snatched the lighter, and the lighter fell to the ground, but it was not extinguished, but the shaking light made him find in a trance that those people in the surrounding mirrors seemed to come out.
The leader turned out to be Kenji Ishihara, Kyoji Miyake retreated to the rear, stood there and swallowed his saliva, but bumped into a person behind him, he turned around abruptly and found that it was Jiro Takahashi.
"You're all hallucinators! It's all an illusion! Not really! Not really! Kyoji Miyake waved his hands and struck at Jiro Takahashi, his fist shattering the glass and slicing the artery in his wrist.
When the blood flowed from his wrist, Kyoji Miyake didn't know it, and he still swung his fist at the people who came out of the mirror, those who had been killed and killed by him.
The moment Maeda Masaji ran away, and the moment he ran out of the lighter to illuminate the range, he suddenly calmed down, turned around slowly, looked in the direction he came, and watched Kyoji Miyake around the lighter, waving his hands and spilling the blood flowing from his wrists.
Blood splattered on the surrounding mirrors, making the original hideous face of Kyoji Miyake look even more terrifying.
Maeda Masaji stood there, watching Kyoji Miyake slowly weaken and finally fall to the ground, his body still twitching, as if he still wanted to struggle, and as if he was still resisting something that didn't exist.
Maeda Masaji looked around, and although there was no light, he could still see countless surging figures in the mirror.
At this time, the lantern above the Mirror City emitted light again, and the moment of strong light illuminated the entire Mirror City.
Masaji Maeda finally saw that all the people standing in the mirrors around him were people who seemed familiar, but they were strangers, but he knew very well that these were people who had died under his hands.
Without exception, the people in the mirror held a broken mirror in their hands, and raised their hands to hand it to Masaji Maeda outside the mirror.
Maeda Masaji walked to the mirror directly opposite him as if he was fascinated, and raised his trembling hand to take the broken mirror in the hand of the person in the mirror.
The moment he took it, those people in the mirror picked up the broken mirror and gently wiped it on his neck, and Maeda Masaji couldn't help but learn from their appearance, picked up the broken mirror and cut it down on his throat.
At the same time as the shattered mirror was cut, blood spurted out and splattered on the mirror in front of him, and a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the person in the mirror.
Masaji Maeda knelt on the ground, and the whole person was attached to the mirror.
Slowly, his eyes became pitch black, and the people in the mirror gradually disappeared, and the surroundings returned to their original appearance, leaving only two sinful corpses.
At this time, the lonely Prajnissen walked over and found the bodies of the two in search of the smell of blood.
After a brief indifferent gaze, Pranynison raised his feet and continued to walk forward, revealing in the mirrors around him a group of eight-eyed puppet spiders that were slowly following him.
After the lantern was lit again, Tang Qianlin and the others found that Kyoji Miyake and Masaji Maeda were gone.
Ye Da looked around at this time and said, "The two Germans are also gone." ”
Liu Mouzheng looked at An Ran and Xia Shuang's pale faces and said, "Rest for a while, and then move on, a few of them are already dead." ”
"What?" Li Yunfan was stunned, "Dead?" ”
Liu Mouzheng glanced at Li Yunfan: "Yes, and they died miserably, don't worry, I didn't let you kill them before entering the city, just to let them experience what despair and fear are before they die, didn't you see those two Germans who caught up before?" In fact, they were all killed by Kyoji Miyake and Masaji Maeda in the wasteland of the Tsugagawa River before entering the castle. ”
Everyone looked at Liu Mouzheng in surprise, and Jin Gusi nodded, indicating that what Liu Mouzheng said was true.
He Chenxue asked tremblingly, "Then, what are the two who caught up just now?" ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Do you know why this place is called Mirror City?" It is because there are all mirrors here, and the word 'mirror' has the same meaning as the word 'jian', that is, 'Mingcha', the clear inspection, in ancient times, whether it was a folk or a pagan way, it was believed that the mirror could see the true self, and could also discover one's own sin......"
Chen Renxi of the Ming Dynasty once wrote a book, called "Latent Books", which is divided into 13 parts, such as Xuanxiang, Age, Ouyu, Renlun, Fangwai, Art Learning, Acceptance, Encounter, Delivery, Serving, Drinking, Art Planting, Leaping, etc., among which the part of the mirror is written - the liquid gold of the Yellow Emperor has been made a divine object, so as to learn from it, where there are five out of ten, the essence of yin and yang is taken, in order to take the number of five or five of Qiankun, so it can be in harmony with the sun and the moon, and the ghosts and gods understand their meaning, in order to prevent the charm and rectify the disease.
The ancient mirror was made by Xuanyuan, so there is Xuanyuan as a mirror, so although the mirror is a daily item, it can also be regarded as a thing to exorcise evil spirits, which can prevent charm, that is, it can reflect the prototype of the monster, that is, "but it can not change the true form in the mirror", that is, although the monster can become a human appearance to confuse, but when facing the mirror, it will show its original form.
Whether it is in the books that record different cultures, or in the medical books, there are records about mirrors, for example, it is written in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": The mirror is the tranquility of gold and water, and if there is a god, it can ward off evil spirits and evil spirits.
Of course, in addition to exorcizing evil spirits, the mirror also has a clear effect on the person itself, which is why the ancient yamen had a plaque with the words "Mirror hanging".
Liu Mouzheng looked at the crowd: "Mirror City is a place to examine your past sins, so I told you not to look, not to listen, not to think, just follow me." ”
Li Yunfan said: "Don't do anything bad for people, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." ”
Liu Mouzheng looked at Li Yunfan: "Everyone has done something wrong, no one does not make mistakes, if there is really a god, what you think is nothing wrong will be considered evil." Even if there are no gods, some of the things that you don't want to go to and suppress you all the time will be infinitely magnified here, and I think that's probably why the Creators created this place to prevent people from going to the last door, because that's the only way to stop people from going. ”
In the ancient antiquity works about gods and ghosts, there was a mention of a mirror about the "whole disease", this kind of mirror can also illuminate one's own sins, in the "Youyang Miscellaneous" and "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" mentioned that Qin Shi Huang had a "bone mirror", saying that this mirror can see the inside of the human body, the internal organs can be seen clearly, and you can also see your own sins.
He Chenxue hugged Tang Zicheng and said, "So, do we all have to die here?" ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Liu Mouzheng, haven't you been here?" You should know how to get around here, right? ”
Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, I rely on faith. ”
Tang Qianlin was puzzled: "Faith? ”
Of course, everyone does not believe it, everyone is wrong and guilty, can faith alone be exempted from the so-called self-punishment?
Bei Zihong clenched his fists and looked at the ground, not daring to look around, because he had noticed that countless people from the Yan clan suddenly appeared in the mirror for some reason, and these people who had been burned beyond recognition stood in the mirror, staring at him with hateful eyes.
