I've never heard of anyone looking for something that needs a mirror, but Aries would say that and must have his own idea.

Although it wasn't easy to find, I managed to find a small loose powder cartridge the next day, which looked edgy and didn't even look like a brand I had ever heard of.

This thing was left in a small building, and it was still usable.

That means that this thing did not appear when the city appeared, but followed the "participants".

This place records the state of this girl when she wears cosmetics, indicating that she will have cosmetics every time she is born, and I even envy her a little.

When I found Aries with a loose powder box with a small mirror, he was sitting in the doorway reading a book.

It seems that as he said, he actually got the book directly from the Earth Serpent.

When he saw me coming, he closed the book and looked up at me: "Did you find the mirror?" ”

I nodded, pulled out the little box of loose powder, and handed it to him.

"Such a small ......?" Aries took the box suspiciously, opened it and looked at it, "Is this a cosmetic?" ”

"Well, the large mirrors are hard to find, and they're almost all broken, but this one works."

Aries picked up the mirror and looked at it carefully, then muttered, "It's a pity...... Only my eyes can be seen. ”

"What?" I asked, "Is this mirror too small?" ”

"No, it's because I'm wearing a mask." Aries replied, "It's a pity...... Looks like I'm going to have to figure out how to get promoted as soon as possible. ”

I was so confused when I heard it.

"Brother Yang...... What exactly do you want to do? I threw out the doubts in my mind, "Isn't your ultimate goal to forget that you are a human being?" What does it have to do with the "motivation to go out"? What does it have to do with mirrors? ”

Aries thought for a moment and said, "The reasons are complicated. I think that if I really want to "forget that I am a person", then I have to make myself a real, flesh-and-blood person, and use these things to build the strongest psychological defense in my heart, and then use the most terrifying methods to destroy it all in one day, if I haven't had a mental breakdown, then I have already transcended human beings. ”

Well, I'll admit that it's so abstract that I can't even imagine it.

"What about the mirror?" I asked again.

"Mirror ......" Aries lowered his head, looked at the small mirror in his hand, and said, "I...... There is something to say to yourself, so you need a mirror. ”

"I have something to say to myself...... I blinked, feeling a little bad, "so you want to be promoted to the 'prefecture' as soon as possible...... The reason is to want ......"

"I want to see my face." Aries turned his head and looked at me with the withered sheep-faced mask, "The way I look now is that I can only see my own eyes, the success rate is too low, I need to capture my every micro-expression." ”

"But what is the purpose of capturing micro-expressions?" I asked again.

"I need to know myself." Aries replied, "Do you know about hypnosis? ”

"I ...... I've heard of it. I replied, "But hypnosis is at best a kind of suggestion...... It's nowhere near as useful as it is in the movie. ”

"Yes, but it does have a potential effect on a person, but I'm protecting myself now." Aries reached out and pulled at his mask, "The most important prerequisite for 'hypnosis' is to fully trust the hypnotist, but no one will trust a hypnotist wearing a mask. ”

I seem to finally know what Aries is going to do...... He's going to hypnotize himself?

"So I'm going to be promoted to the 'prefecture level' as soon as possible." Aries added, "So that I can have expressions, and I can also give myself powerful psychological cues by observing every micro-expression of myself." ”

I just nodded when I heard this, but suddenly I felt creepy.

It seems like...... Something is not quite right.

After becoming "prefecture-level...... Observe your own micro-expressions again?

"Wait...... Wait a minute...... Brother Sheep. My voice hoarse, "After you became a 'ground level'...... There will be no human expression anymore, and your face will turn into a cold sheep. ”

"Even if it's a sheep's face, it must have a micro-expression." Aries said, "When the time comes, I'll look at that sheep's face and give myself a psychological hint." ”

I think it's a little too scary...... No matter what psychological cues Aries wants to give themselves...... But if you are faced with the face of an Aries...... And if you want to keep observing the expression of this sheep......

The biggest psychological hint he can receive is "I am a sheep".

"Wait......"

I was stunned again.

It's not ...... Is it just right......?

That's what Aries was trying to achieve in the first place...... Could it be that the mental hint he gives himself in the mirror is "I am not human"?

I racked my brain to predict what Aries was going to do, but it always felt like something was missing.

Basically every time I've come here since then, Aries has been talking to myself with that mirror.

I'm even afraid he's going to go crazy before he gets the psychological cues.

According to him, his life is now occupied by a total of three things, which are talking to himself, playing games, and reading books.

He had reached the first step in getting rid of humanity, and that was to lose sleep.

Now he reads all night and feels like he has twice as much time available as anyone else.

And because we are all in a state of revenant, when we start to believe that we are not human, we really don't feel tired after a long period of sleeplessness, but we are not sure how long we can last.

Aries said that every time he returned to the "train", almost all the "zodiac signs" were eating, and the whole "train" would be filled with an atmosphere of "hunger" at this time, and it was indeed difficult to be completely unaffected.

In this atmosphere, Aries has hinted countless times that he is "not human", but he still feels hungry, so he still chooses to continue to eat - to eat the air.

Aries also told me that the seemingly abundant delicacies of the mountains and seas on the "train" are not actually satisfying, and almost all of them come from the "echo" trick.

Some food is made from sand, while others are the illusion of nothingness. Every day, a large number of "conductors" will deliver these foods to the "zodiac" room.

To put it bluntly, the greatest use of these foods is to make you "eat" and think you are "full".

It's like raising livestock, and it seems that "Tenryu" has been raising all the "zodiac signs" on the "train" as real animals from the beginning, and he has known the influence of the "subconscious" on these people from the beginning.
