Chapter 99: Mirror maze

Views:

"Dugu Zhuo, are you okay? I can't find you." Ye Zhou's voice came from a distance.

"I'm fine." Dugu Zhuo felt a little relieved when he heard his angry voice, and continued to look at the mirror.

This mirror is unusual.

Dugu Zhuo couldn't find where Ye Zhou was, so he could only remind him, "Don't break the mirror."

Ye Zhou obviously heard Dugu Zhuo's words, and responded: "This is a mirror maze, a mirror maze in the real world. Usually, you can find the exit by touching the mirror and walking in one direction. I don't know what happened here. Why? Can't break the mirror?"

Dugu Zhuo said: "I suspect that these mirrors are mirrors of the mind, and what they reflect are not our reflections, but some desires in our hearts. Once the mirror is broken, one of our desires will disappear.

"Desire itself is a part of our soul. Wanting to cultivate the Dao and ascend to immortality is desire. Wanting the common people to live and work in peace and contentment is also desire. Wanting money, fame and fortune, lust, etc. are also desires. No matter which one is damaged, part of the soul will be missing.

"In this labyrinth of mirrors, breaking the mirror is the only way to truly lose yourself. Even if you go out, you will not be the original self."

"It's so scary!" Ye Zhou said, "Then let's go in one direction and meet at the exit?"

"Try it for now," Dugu Zhuo said, "Try not to touch yourself in the mirror."

Ye Zhou: "... If you want to touch the mirror and leave here, how can you not touch yourself?"

Dugu Zhuo said: "Use the hilt of the sword to move forward little by little, so that if you in the mirror suddenly stretch out your hand and drag you in, you will have enough distance to escape."

"Is it so scary?!" Ye Zhou asked.

Dugu Zhuo said: "I suspect that they are just trapped in the mirror and cannot get out."

Dugu Zhuo asked several players in private chats several times where they were trapped and why they couldn't get out, but what they said was blocked by the system.

The content of the conversation is probably: "Zhuo Shen, we are in XX, after you enter this dungeon, you see XX, don't XXXX!"

If it is text, the key words will be blocked, if it is voice, it will be silenced, XX will be replaced with "beep", in short, it will not be heard.

At that time, Dugu Zhuo felt that they might be trapped in a place similar to the illusion of the mind, and when he saw the mirror, he immediately thought of the blocked words.

I don't know if the blocking is done by the system, or the bad taste of the game planner.

Dugu Zhuo has been in the game for a long time, and he often sees players scolding the dog planner in the world, so he understands that some system settings are made by the game planner. Probably the game planner input instructions to the artificial intelligence, the instructions are immutable and must be executed, and the system can drill at will in the gaps other than the instructions.

For example, Xiaobao's face is getting rounder and rounder. For example, when the sky says fireworks, fireworks will be set off.

If you plan to enter the command "the system cannot set off fireworks", then the system will definitely not set off fireworks, but he may change it to let the flowers of the whole game bloom at the same time, and execute the command flexibly in this way.

However, some instructions cannot be circumvented, such as the current silencer processing, as long as the game planning has fixed the rules, the system cannot make exceptions for them.

Dugu Zhuo suspected that Mosaic's instructions could not be deciphered by the system, and Ye Zhou would not trigger the harmony mechanism when he was with him, essentially because of his bug.

According to Dugu Zhuo's reminder, Ye Zhou took out the flying sword, tentatively walked forward with the hilt of the sword, and walked forward through two mirrors. The "Ye Zhou" on the third mirror showed him a strange smile and grabbed him. grabbing his flying sword, trying to drag him into the mirror.

Ye Zhou in the mirror was extremely powerful, Ye Zhou was invincible, and he didn't dare to use the Sword Control Technique to destroy the mirror, so he could only watch helplessly as the flying sword sank into the mirror.

The frightening thing is that only this mirror is different for him. The other mirrors do not reflect him arguing with Ye Zhou in the mirror at all, but replay his groping forward in the first two mirrors just now.

No wonder he didn't do anything until the third mirror. The first two mirrors were simply recording his walking appearance, which was convenient for playback when he was in danger, so that other teammates thought he was still safe.

Ye Zhou let go of the flying sword, his magic weapon was gone, and he could only find something from the storage belt to find the way.

He sometimes fights monsters, and the monsters will drop some bamboo flutes, suonas, scrolls, pens and other things of unknown meaning. These items are useful in some quest chains. As long as the storage space is enough, Ye Zhou will always bring them with him.

He was thinking about the possibility of a fight just now, so he used the flying sword. Now thinking of the flying sword that was swallowed by the mirror, I feel a little distressed. I knew I would have used the bamboo flute from the beginning.

Ye Zhou walked forward holding the bamboo flute, and shouted: "Dugu Zhuo! You guessed it right, I just met myself in the mirror and lived, thanks to you. Even if the flying sword is gone, I don't know how to get past this Can the dungeon system be returned to me, how is your side?"

"I'm fine." Ye Zhou heard Dugu Zhuo's calm and indifferent voice.

Hearing that he was fine, Ye Zhou felt relieved and continued to move forward.

On the other side, Dugu Zhuo also encountered the same situation when he touched the third mirror. In the mirror, Dugu Zhuo grabbed his sword hilt, but even with enough energy, Dugu Zhuo couldn't win the man in the mirror.

Fortunately, he was holding the broken sword he used at level 10, and he didn't feel bad when it was gone, so he let it go and stopped arguing with the mirror.

The rest of the mirrors played his actions when he explored the first two mirrors. Dugu Zhuo knew in his heart that if it weren't for this, Aotian and others would not have wiped out the whole army like this if six people came here in one go.

Thinking of this, Dugu Zhuo was a little worried about Ye Zhou, so he shouted loudly: "Ye Zhou, how are you?"

Ye Zhou's voice came intermittently: "I... met myself in the mirror... Thanks to you, I... am fine."

After hearing this, Dugu Zhuo felt relieved, he continued to walk a few steps forward, and suddenly looked down at his feet.

The top of the mirror maze and the bottom of the feet are also mirrors. If there are hands stretching out under the feet, it will be troublesome.

Dugu Zhuo cautiously floated a little, neither approaching the ceiling nor touching his feet.

He quickly told Ye Zhou what he had noticed, and Ye Zhou replied, "Is it so scary?!"

This time the voice was not so intermittent, it was a short and full of spirit.

Dugu Zhuo felt relieved and continued to look for a way out. He suspected that people in the maze could not protect themselves. The man in the mirror was so powerful just now. If he attacked the man in the mirror, he might be backlashed by the same force. And there are so many mirrors here, so this backlash is not the attack of one person in the mirror, but all of them.

In this way, it would be the worst policy to do it.

The best way is to be careful not to be dragged in, and walk out of the mind mirror maze calmly and cautiously.

Mirror Labyrinth has the feeling of "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain". It's like when you are captured by the demon, you can't think of a way out. You feel that you must die or the demon dies, and your temper becomes very extreme. . But if you jump out of the predicament and look back at the previous confusion, you will feel that it is not worth mentioning, and sometimes you don’t even understand why you are stumped by such a simple problem.

Dugu Zhuo is a person who has experienced life and death, he will not be captured by the demon.

Along the way, he concentrated on avoiding the person in the mirror, and reminded Ye Zhou from time to time, and he would always receive a reply of "it's okay" from the other party.

As Dugu Zhuo expected, at first it was just a person in a mirror stretching out his hand, then it was the person in front and behind, and then each mirror had a hand ready to drag the player into the mirror at any time.

Fortunately, Dugu Zhuo was well prepared and very cautious, and he was willing to give up the pathfinding tools. These people in the mirror couldn't do anything to catch him.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Dugu Zhuo's eyes lit up and he finally found the exit.

When he saw the exit, he didn't rush out immediately, but touched it with the road-finding suona. Sure enough, it was a mirror, and the exit was on the opposite side of the mirror. If he rushed over at this time, he would directly fall into the mirror.

Dugu Zhuo turned around and walked towards the opposite direction of the mirror. After testing, he confirmed that this was the real exit and walked out.

As soon as he went out, the environment around which was too brightly dazzled by the mirror changed, and Dugu Zhuo's eyes dazzled by the mirror changed a lot. Seeing that Ye Zhou hadn't come out, he sent a paper crane voice transmission to Ye Zhou: "How are you?" ?”

After waiting for a while, Ye Zhou didn't reply.

Dugu Zhuo's heart tightened, and he quickly recalled the conversation with Ye Zhou in the maze.

He suddenly thought that apart from the initial conversation, after he was attacked by "Dugu Zhuo" in the third mirror, Ye Zhou's response became very strange.

Especially the sentence "Is it so scary?!" There was no difference in tone and emotion from Ye Zhou's reply "Is it so scary?!" when he told Ye Zhou that there might be a hand sticking out of the mirror at the beginning.

Later, those "nothing" also seemed to be intermittent, intercepted from certain conversations.

Dugu Zhuo was concentrating on getting out of the mirror maze at that time, and didn't notice the question Ye Zhou responded to, but now that he thinks about it carefully, there are loopholes everywhere.

The mirror can replay his actions, so can't it replay what Ye Zhou once said? The person in the mirror who talked to him later, could it be that the person in the mirror intercepted what Ye Zhou said before and sent it to him

Then when he reminded Ye Zhou to "watch your step", did Ye Zhou hear it

Dugu Zhuo turned around and wanted to enter the maze to find Ye Zhou, but just as he was about to re-enter the maze, the entire mirror maze disappeared.

There are only seven large mirrors floating in the void. The first six mirrors are Aotian, Qingyue, Black Cat, Ganoderma Lucidum Doll, Magic Brush Pony, and Peerless General. Seeing Dugu Zhuo come to rescue him was really neat.

But in the seventh mirror, there is a blank space, and it is not known whether Ye Zhou did not enter the mirror, or his situation is different from others.

Dugu Zhuo suppressed the panic in his heart, told himself that this is a game, trapped in the mirror, private chat blocked is just the game company's design, there must be a way to undo it, don't mess it up, you must concentrate on going through the dungeon, and find a way to rescue everyone.

He did not rashly attack the seven mirrors, but observed the surrounding environment.

Behind the mirror maze is a dark Buddhist hall. Opposite the seven mirrors is a Buddha statue. The incense in front of the Buddha statue has been broken.

Dugu Zhuo came to the altar, there were six complete incense sticks under the altar, he picked up the incense sticks, lit the six sticks with real fire at the same time, held the six sticks of incense in his hand and bowed to the Buddha statue three times, and then inserted the six sticks of incense into the incense burner.

As soon as Xiang was inserted, the six mirrors behind him shattered, and the bodies of Aotian and others appeared behind Dugu Zhuo.

Ganoderma lucidum doll was the first to roll and jump up. She patted the non-existent dirt on her body and whispered: "Finally came out!"
