The crowd heard the fat man's screams and ran towards the river. found that the fat man was not hurt at all, but just looked at the river in a daze, with a look of panic on his face.

"What's wrong, fatty?" Quinta and Iwayama were concerned at the same time.

"Look!" The fat man stretched out his trembling right hand and pointed to the mirror-like surface of the river. And the little monkey Peter was also extremely uneasy, trying to break free from the fat man's arms.

Everyone looked towards the river at the same time, but they saw nothing but the sand and gravel at the bottom of the clear river.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the fat man suspiciously, but they saw that the fat man's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely terrible. Suddenly, it was as if he was pressed into the river by an invisible hand. The fat body was like paraffin wax that had met a fire, and it gradually melted into the river.

"Fatty!" Quinta and Iwayama rushed at the fat man like crazy, desperately trying to fish him out, but in vain. After a while, the figure of the fat man completely disappeared from the river. Also missing is Peter, the little monkey.

"Get out of the river!" Wren seemed to realize something, grabbed Rena and ran towards the shore.

Seeing that Quinta and Iwayama were still staring at the river in a daze, Bluebell wanted to rush over and pull the two out of the river. But he saw the two of them look at each other in horror, and at the same time plunged headlong into the river, their bodies gradually melting into a blurred reflection.

Bluebell was shocked to see this, and left the river in a few jumps.

"What the hell is going on?" Rena was stunned by the sudden change.

At this time, the sun has set in the west, and the afterimage of the setting sun is floating on the river, and the breeze blows, and the ripples on the river surface constitute a beautiful natural picture. The sudden disappearance of the fat man, the quinta, and the rocky mountain adds a bit of eerie color to the picture.

"Alpha, did you say there is nothing wrong with the water?" Bluebell stared back at the cannibalistic star.

"There's really nothing wrong with this water...... Alpha said as if he was about to cry.

Wren walked back to the river bank again, looking down at the reflection in the river, thoughtful.

His rough face was reflected in the river, rising and falling with the slight waves. However, it didn't take long for that face to begin to change, and the expression that had been deep in doubt gradually leaked a strange smile.

Just as a chill was running behind Wren's back, he stretched out his hands and reached for his head.

"Ahh

Wren stood up abruptly from the river, as if he had seen a ghost.

"It's not the river that's the problem, it's the river." Wren touched the cold sweat on his head and said with palpitations.

"What do you mean?" Bluebell leaned over, his face full of solemnity.

"The surface of the river can give people hallucinations." Wren speculated.

"So how did the fat men disappear?" Rena asked with some urgency.

"It's probably not just the fat man and the three of them who are hallucinating." Wren seemed to be pointing.

Bluebell was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that everything we are seeing so far is an illusion?

"Alpha, you go to the river and have a look." Bluebell suddenly ordered.

Alpha was also a little frightened, but he still stepped on small broken steps, and moved to the shore step by step. Cowering, he poked his head out to look at the river.

Suddenly, an alpha screamed from a machine.

"Ahh

Bluebell lunged up with a lunge to pull Alpha over. But I saw Alpha wave his hand and said, "It's okay...... It's okay. I was just scared by the way I looked. ”

But at this moment, Bluebell's vision seemed to be firmly locked on the surface of the river by a strange magic. He saw himself in the reflection of the river, a complex face mixed with immaturity and vicissitudes.

Gradually, the face slowly distorted, turning into an appearance that felt strange to him. As the reflections in the river continue to change, Bluebell's mind has all kinds of complex and complicated images out of thin air, like memories that have never existed. He saw mountains and plains, tall buildings, and even mysterious starry skies.

Eventually, from the ever-changing images, he saw a pair of blue eyes. There was a series of conflicting emotions in his eyes, such as tyranny, gentleness, jealousy, and blessing.

Blue Bell involuntarily reached out and reached towards the river, only to be pulled back by a huge force.

"Master, don't get trapped!" Alpha's anxious voice came.

"What did you just call me?" Bluebell came to his senses and suddenly realized what Alpha called him.

"No, I'm just in a hurry......"

Seeing Alpha's dodging gaze, the furrow on Bluebell's brow deepened and deepened. He knew in his heart that Alpha knew more of the secrets he longed for. However, it was powerless and coerced, and it was unwilling to tell those secrets. What exactly is this for?

"Master, allow me to call it so. However, I hope you will understand that there are some truths that can only be explored by yourself, and I cannot interfere with it, nor can I help you change anything. Just remember that everything has a price, and that human life is very short, but it contains all its secrets. ”

Hearing Alpha's words, Bluebell suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had heard these words somewhere. However, the source of his memories has never been found.

"Since you don't want to talk about it, there are some things I won't ask again." Bluebell sighed and patted Alpha on the shoulder, but the movement was very jerky.

"Thank you for your understanding." Although Alpha is just a robot, he is extremely relieved at the moment.

"What's hidden here?" Bluebell changed his mind and asked again.

"It seems to be some mirror demons, and if I'm guessing correctly, they came into this world with the Mistwalkers." Alpha was a little hesitant at first, but finally settled.

"Mirror Demon?"

"In order for you to understand its essence, I will call this thing a mirror demon. It was originally a low-level creature, similar to the organic microorganisms that live in water in this world. They can be gathered together to form a powerful aggregate of spiritual power, which can easily distort the spiritual world of living beings. In the pace of expansion, the Conquerors are very fond of using these creatures to corrupt strong-willed races. Alpha said truthfully.

"So how do you deal with them? Fat man, are they in danger now? Bluebell frowned, feeling that these things were not easy to deal with.

"In a sense, the fat man has turned into a river. But this is only a passive perverted behavior made by living organisms under the influence of the powerful spiritual power of the mirror demon. If they can get out of the control of the mirror demon in time, the fat people still have a chance to return to their original bodies.

There is only one way to deal with the mirror demon, and to treat it in the way of others. The reason why the conquerors were able to control these mirror demons was because some of them had superior mental abilities. The reason why those fogwalkers gave up on these mirror demons may have been because they had lost control of them. ”

After listening to Alpha's explanation, Bluebell couldn't help but have a headache. As far as the current situation is concerned, they simply have no ability to deal with these so-called mirror demons.

At this time, Alpha fixed his gaze on Rena's body.
