306, looking at the demon mirror
The mirror surface of the mirror is very soft, not made of glass, a bit like water, which can be elastic to the touch, with ripples rippling on it.
Su Huilan walked in front, and Aoki followed behind her. When approaching the first mirror, Su Huilan's figure also appeared in the mirror.
The light was dim, but her delicate facial features and delicate body curves were clearly reflected in the mirror. She looked in the mirror for a moment, a smile on her face, as if she were appreciating a beautiful woman of great beauty, not herself.
Suddenly, the expression on Su Huilan's face froze, and she looked stunned, as if she had seen something strange.
She turned her head suddenly, looking at Aoki who was walking up to her side by side like a monster.
In the mirror, there is no Aoki.
On the mirror surface as clean and soft as water, there is only Su Huilan's slender figure and mismatched expression.
In fact, if Aoki could be reflected in the mirror at this time, his appearance must be even more surprising than Su Huilan's.
However, Su Huilan quickly calmed down and asked, "Are you a dreamless person?!" ”
Aoki was surprised: "It's true that I can't dream, but what does it have to do with not dreaming and looking in the mirror?" ”
Su Huilan said: "The mirror here is not a real mirror, it is just a portal that guides people's consciousness to create space. In reality, looking in the mirror is the reflection of light. And looking in the mirror here is the self-awareness of consciousness. What you see is your subconscious instinct for yourself. So, you can think that this is a mirror of demons, you have a Buddha in your heart, and if you shine it, you will be a Buddha, and if you have a demon in your heart, you will be a demon. ”
"Then why can't I see myself?"
"I don't know. Dreamless people are very rare and are usually caused by brain defects. It is not that dreamless people do not really know how to dream, but that they do not have a clear understanding of themselves, or that their subconscious mind is unable to retrieve their memories. But...... Your consciousness is clearly an image of yourself...... Moreover, you have such a strong mental power, how can you ......?"
Su Huilan looked puzzled.
Aoki was also puzzled, but he didn't bother to think too much, and said, "No matter how much, isn't this mirror used as a demon mirror?" ”
Su Huilan said: "Of course not. The Demon Mirror is just an auxiliary function, and it's not even a good experience for the game, but this function comes from the self-awareness of consciousness, and it can't be turned off, so it's a side effect. The real role of the mirror is to guide the consciousness to create its own space, which is equivalent to a passage to the player's own world. ”
Aoki asked, "How to guide?" ”
Su Huilan said: "Just walk in." Each mirror is equivalent to a door, and behind each door is a world. Of course, this world needs players to create. ”
Aoki looked at the mirror that couldn't look at himself, and sure enough, when there was no image of himself in it, it looked more like a door.
"If one door corresponds to one player, the number of mirrors here is not enough, right?"
Su Huilan smiled: "No, in the quantum world, quantity is not a problem. In fact, there are countless mirrors here, and this hall can accommodate even if everyone in the world is playing the game online at the same time. ”
Aoki took a few steps forward and came to another mirror. The mirror is gray, and you can see the image of the hall and other mirrors inside, creating a kaleidoscope of mirror-in-mirror spectacle, but it just doesn't look like Aoki himself.
He walked on again, and all the mirrors he passed were like this.
Originally, from a distance, there were not many mirrors in the hall, and the arrangement seemed to be very regular, but now when you walk in, the mirrors seem to be infinitely numerous, like entering a forest of mirrors.
Aoki walked and walked, feeling as if he didn't exist anymore, because there was no mirror that could reflect him.
When he turned around, he found that Su Huilan was behind him, and they were actually in front of the mirror they had just faced at the beginning.
Only then did Aoki discover that all the mirrors were generated by his own consciousness. As he walked forward, he realized that where there would be mirrors, so he would never be able to walk through this forest of mirrors. And once his consciousness stops, he returns to the original mirror.
"Actually, there's only one mirror, right?" He said.
"Think so, too." Su Huilan smiled, "Actually, I'm curious about how this game will guide you to create the world for a dreamless person like you." If you can't dream, what happens when you go in? ”
Aoki said, "Just go in and have a look." ”
Su Huilan asked, "You first or me first?" ”
Aoki said, "You go first, after all, I'm not familiar with it, you show me how." ”
Su Huilan nodded and said, "Okay." ”
She took a step forward, one foot stepping into the mirror, and the mirror fluctuated. Her body followed her footsteps into the mirror, and she could see half of her body on the outside and half on the inside, as if the people on the outside were going in and the people on the inside were coming out, and the two of them were colliding together.
Just when she was about to completely enter the mirror, leaving only the back of her head, Su Huilan suddenly turned around and smiled, and she in the mirror also turned her head to that side.
She said, "I'll go in first and see if you can find me in a moment." ”
As soon as Aoki was stunned, Su Huilan disappeared into the mirror, and the mirror surface returned to a soft and smooth appearance, as if nothing had happened.
He wasn't quite sure what Su Huilan's last sentence meant, was it that the player's dreams were originally interconnected in this game, or did she know that she could enter other people's dreams, so she asked him to find her in her dreams?
Aoki pondered for a moment before trying to reach out and touch the mirror lightly with his fingers.
The mirrored tentacles are extremely soft, like melted glass. His hand slowly reached into the mirror, and a circle of ripples rippled on the mirror, centered on his arm, spreading outward.
However, strangely, when his hand reached in, a hand also reached out of the mirror, perpendicular to his arm, as if his arm was reflected back by the mirror, overlapping his remaining arm.
He changed his direction slightly, and his arm was no longer perpendicular to the mirror, but was stretched diagonally into it, and the outstretched hand also stretched out diagonally from the other direction, forming an angle of about sixty degrees with his outstretched arm, exactly the same as the specular reflection of light.
Aoki didn't know if it was the hand he had put in that that bounced back, or if it was another invisible hand of himself in the mirror that had reached out. He looked at the hand that came out of the mirror and tried to move his fingers, and the fingers of that hand moved. He withdrew his hand again, and it disappeared behind the mirror.
When Su Huilan went in just now, there was no such situation. Is it because he is a dreamless person and can't get into the mirror? Or is it something else?
Aoki turned his heart sideways, simply took a big step, and his whole body slammed into the mirror.
He saw his body disappear in front of the mirror little by little, and he saw himself come out of the mirror little by little, and then he returned to the world in front of the mirror in its entirety, looking back at the mirror that completely reflected his consciousness but could not reflect it.
