None of the posthumans who could reach the end were easy to deal with. In the countless battles that Lin Sanjiu had experienced, some of them relied on the use of their Special Items, some of them relied on their combat awareness and skills to win, and some of them relied on their Evolved Abilities to deal with them. No matter who they encountered, it was inevitable that they would suffer. The horse-faced man obviously belonged to the last category. Coupled with his outstanding physique, he certainly had the right to provoke others.
However, he still couldn't last more than a minute against Lin Sanjiu.
As the saying goes, when one person is stronger than ten people, all abilities and items can only be considered fancy tricks. Furthermore, Lin Sanjiu had always been very quick to react. Before the horse-faced man had a chance to use his skills, Lin Sanjiu had already stepped on him.
"What did you just say?" Lin Sanjiu exerted some strength in her legs and ground the horse-face against the mirror. To prevent the horse-face from playing any tricks, she sat on the horse-face's back. Lin Sanjiu's weight was much heavier than before. Her well-developed muscles alone weighed at least a few hundred kilograms. When she deliberately lowered her body, the horse-face let out a "burp". Obviously, the horse-face's body was not able to bear the weight.
"... Squeeze your words out?" she said, smiling unhurriedly. "Shall I begin then? I like to bully the weak. "
"Wait, wait, wait, wait," the horse-faced man muffled his words with great effort. His face was pressed tightly against the mirror, and his voice was almost drowned out by his body. "Don't, don't kill me."
"That will depend on your level of cooperation." As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she casually grabbed the man's arm with her large, fan-like hand. With a sudden tug, the man's shoulder joint was dislocated with a loud crack. Only then did the horse-faced man groan in pain.
"If you want to know anything, just ask me," he hissed. "I promise I won't fight for the big gift bag anymore …"
… You make it sound as if you can fight for it.
Lin Sanjiu scoffed inwardly. She laughed and said, "Just now, you... Are you trying to lure me into breaking the mirror? "
The horse-faced man immediately stopped talking. After two seconds, he stammered, "Yes, yes."
"Why?"
"Because … because. Touching the mirror would transmit the message, but if one touched the mirror and broke it at the same time, then … something bad would happen. As for what it is, I, I don't know either … "
Needless to say, he definitely knew. Lin Sanjiu frowned. She thought for a moment and changed her question, "Okay, is the mirror beneath our feet a pathway?" "That's right," Lin Sanjiu said.
The horse-faced man breathed a sigh of relief. "No … because this is the first floor, it cannot be transmitted through the mirror beneath our feet."
When Lin Sanjiu heard what he said, she suddenly remembered. From the looks of it, the building had at least two to three floors. She couldn't help looking at the mirror above her head. Lin Sanjiu's round and plump body looked down at the same time and met her gaze, "So, if we want to go to the second floor, we have to touch the mirror above us?"
"Well … we can go upstairs, but no one knows if we're going to the second or third floor …" the horse-faced man said hesitantly. "I've already told you. You can knock me out later, but don't kill me. This building is filled with mirror mazes, but their structure is different from a normal building. There's no concept of how many floors there are. "
"Look at the structure of this mirror maze. There are a total of 21 mirrors, and they form an irregular shape, right? Even though the number of mirrors in each mirror maze is the same, the shape is different. So, we can't add one floor at a time … "What the horse-faced man said was something Lin Sanjiu didn't expect." I'm guessing that they are stacked on top of each other. There are quite a lot of gaps between the mirror mazes.
If there's no 'floor', then there's no concept of how many floors there are. "
Lin Sanjiu pondered for a moment. "Who did you meet in the mirror maze?"
"Ah, that's quite a lot," the horse-faced man laughed bitterly. "I've been trapped here for too long, and I've met at least dozens of people. Some of the more powerful characters, I don't even dare to be in the same mirror chamber with them. Whenever I see them, I'll touch the mirror immediately … But recently, I've been seeing fewer people. I don't know if it's a coincidence. I don't know if it's a coincidence or those people are all dead. "
"A few dozen?"
Lin Sanjiu frowned. She grabbed his neck, which was very thin compared to the horse-faced man, and pulled his head up. Then, she slammed his head on the mirror. This time, cracks appeared on the mirror.
"My Player Number is 57, and you've met a few dozen people here?" Lin Sanjiu sneered. "Since you won't tell me, I'll have to figure it out myself."
"No, no," the horse-faced man stared at the mirror. He was obviously shocked, "You misunderstood me! My Player Number is 1208! "
"What?"
"The Starry Carnival Amusement Park disappears and reappears every once in a while," he said quickly, "I think you're one of the people who came in after me."
"Then, when did you come in?"
"Didn't I tell you? I don't know! But since I'm still here and haven't been sent to the next world, I'm sure it hasn't been 14 months yet. "
Lin Sanjiu slowly loosened her grip.
"If what you said is true, why didn't the big shots in Red Nautilus discover the pocket dimension of the Starry Carnival Amusement Park until now?" Another question popped up in her mind. "So —"
The horse-faced man tilted his head with great difficulty. "What are you talking about? What Red Nautilus? "
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She quickly looked at him. Even though it was a horse's face that had changed shape, the blank expression that belonged to a human was still clearly imprinted on his face. It didn't look like he was putting on an act.
No one would not know — unless — Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized a possibility, and her body turned cold.
"Which world … did you discover this pocket dimension in?" she asked softly, as if she was afraid to disturb someone who was listening attentively.
Every word from the horse-faced man rang in her ears like a huge bell.
"What are you talking about? Of course.
'Dark Forest'. Aren't you also in this world? "
Lin Sanjiu felt as if her head was about to explode. This was no small matter. If the horse-faced man wasn't lying, it meant that this was a pocket dimension that allowed her to transmigrate to another world!
Lin Sanjiu had a vague feeling that this was an incredible discovery. She could feel her blood boiling as if she was about to touch the very foundation of the apocalyptic world. However, she couldn't tell what this meant to posthumans and what it meant to them. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps, this was the reason why she was so shocked. When she realized that something was wrong, it was already too late.
Lin Sanjiu's body, which was pinned down by Lin Sanjiu, suddenly softened like a piece of hot wax. In the blink of an eye, his body, which was full of flesh and blood a moment ago, melted into nothingness. Lin Sanjiu quickly leaped up. When she looked up, she saw the horse-faced man's figure appear in front of a mirror not far away.
"See you again! Hahaha!" As he laughed, his figure was instantly swallowed by the mirror. In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left of him.
She didn't expect this. The horse-faced man still had such a trick up his sleeve. Just as this thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's mind, she heard the announcement again.
"Player 57, you have stayed here for more than three minutes …"
There were less than ten seconds left! In a moment of desperation, Lin Sanjiu looked around and found a mirror. She quickly reached out and touched it.
The familiar darkness disappeared in a flash. Soon, she opened her eyes again. What she saw was a mirror chamber. There were no cracks on the ground.
When she looked down, she was shocked by her own appearance in the mirror.
It was obviously a real body of flesh and blood, but it was stretched into the shape of a long snake. Even when she walked, she had to sway a few more times before she could take a step forward. This made her feel terrified and at a loss.
Sighing, she raised a noodle finger and bit it in her mouth.
Accompanied by a slight but distinct pain, the wound immediately turned red. Lin Sanjiu quickly walked to the corner of the mirror chamber and squeezed three drops of blood from the edge of the mirror.
The bright red blood splattered on the surface of the mirror. Fortunately, the blood droplets were far away from each other, so Lin Sanjiu could clearly distinguish the number of blood droplets.
This could be considered as a mark.
"This is the third mirror chamber that you have walked through. So, you only have three drops of blood? "Mrs. Manas suddenly asked without any warning.
"Yeah. Say, what are you doing?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you come out when I asked you? This place is weird. I need a second opinion."
Mrs. Manas sighed.
"Of course I know this place is weird … But you don't."
"Why? Did you discover something? "
Lin Sanjiu perked up. She asked as she walked to the other mirror. Just as her finger was about to touch the mirror, Mrs. Manas's voice rang out, "Do you know? When you travel between the mirror chambers, your body is actually decomposed into countless elementary particles — "
When Mrs. Manas said that, it was too late for Lin Sanjiu to retract her finger. Her finger touched the cold surface of the mirror.
Before the word "what" could form in her mind, her vision turned black again. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a new mirror chamber. Her breathing was still tight and her heart was still racing from the second half of Mrs. Manas's sentence. She could still hear Mrs. Manas's voice, "The mirror is like a conductor. Your particles are transmitted from the mirror through the mirror chamber.
Your particles pass through its' settings' and form a new you on the other side. However, it is just another image of you that has been set up by the mirror. Since you have been completely disintegrated and your cells have been reconstructed so many times, from a certain perspective, the real Lin Sanjiu has long since ceased to exist. "
Lin Sanjiu … Or should I say, a stranger? Lin Sanjiu listened to Mrs. Manas's words in a daze. She still couldn't react.
"I-I'm only average in physics … Logically speaking, you should be the same. How did you know? "
"Matter may be decomposed into particles, but your higher consciousness can't," Mrs. Manas explained briefly. "However, this is not the reason why I came out … Since this matter cannot be changed, there is no point in telling you. However, I found something that I can use."
"What is it?"
"Have you forgotten that your body has mutated? Now your body contains Nuwa's consciousness, and it carries with it
Body cells from the New Man gene pool — and you're right.
The 'Newbie' cells had no control over them at all. Although it seems that this pair of bone wings can be used as a weapon, it would be terrible if your body were to undergo some messy mutation in the next step. "
Every time Mrs. Manas disappeared, she would bring back a piece of breaking news.
Lin Sanjiu sighed, "Tell me, what should I do?"
"My idea may not be mature yet, but it's worth a try." Mrs. Manas said in a serious tone, "Before you touch the next mirror, activate [Defense Forcefield] and [Higher Consciousness Scan]. Let's see if we can record the state of the particles when they are completely disintegrated."
Lin Sanjiu shuddered when she heard the words "completely disintegrated". Suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, she said softly, "Alright, I will try."
Lin Sanjiu purposely picked a mirror that looked the most normal except for a pair of feline hind legs. She took a deep breath and walked toward it. She was ready to transform into another person.
This time, the darkness felt no different from the one before.
Even though she had activated her higher consciousness at full power, when she opened her eyes, other than almost falling out of her boots, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Her original boots were too big for a feline's feet. Holding them in her hand, Lin Sanjiu hopped two steps on the ground lightly. She felt a sense of novelty when she felt the amazing jumping force. Then, she quickly turned her attention back to Mrs. Manas, "How is it? Did you succeed in the first step? "
"Wait, let me see —" Mrs. Manas replied and then disappeared. Even when Lin Sanjiu reminded her that she could only stay here for three minutes, Mrs. Manas did not respond.
After waiting for a while, bored to death, Lin Sanjiu sat on the ground and looked at the spots on her furry legs.
When she felt a slight movement in her hypersensory state, she heard a voice full of interest behind her, "Huh? Is that a panther's leg? This one looks pretty. "(To be continued.)
