When Lin Sanjiu twisted her body and leaped into the air, she landed on the ground facing the man. Her movements were as agile and precise as a feline.
She lowered her chin slightly and stared at the newcomer with her amber eyes.
With just one glance, Lin Sanjiu was certain that this person was not a resident of Red Nautilus.
The permanent residents of Red Nautilus had a unique temperament. Living in a highly-developed place with a lot of people all year round had broadened their horizons, and they were good at socializing. Each of them had a unique style of dressing. However, the unbalanced and unstable supply of materials, the constant anxiety of getting a visa, and the wanton presence of powerful people made the residents of Red Nautilus look a little sensitive and nervous.
However, the person in front of him looked very relaxed and at ease.
He was wearing a plain robe that could barely be considered clean. It covered him from his neck to his ankles like a bamboo hat, revealing only a pair of black cloth shoes. His skin was pure, and his lips were bright red. His eyebrows and eyes were black, and there were a few thin green veins on the back of his hand that looked like bamboo leaves. When he tilted his head, his short hair cascaded down, making it even more difficult to tell his gender.
At first glance, everything about the young man seemed normal. Only his ears were long and pointy like those of an elf. They extended outwards nimbly, and Lin Sanjiu was certain that the person in front of her had also been altered by the magnifying mirror.
… Just arrived at Red Nautilus? Or did he come from another apocalyptic world? She thought about it uncertainly, but she couldn't remember anyone mentioning such a person at the amusement park.
What bothered her the most was that she was unable to determine the combat level of the person in front of her.
Unlike Puppeteer and Hei Zeji, this man was neither as cunning as Puppeteer nor as sharp as Hei Zeji. He just stood there quietly like a puddle of pure water. Naturally, he did not reveal any useful information to Lin Sanjiu.
Even though he was being stared at by such a fierce looking woman, he still had a warm smile on his face. Even his voice was so gentle that it was hard to tell if he was a man or a woman. "Oh, did I scare you? Don't worry. I'm just passing by. "
While speaking. He raised his hand and pointed at the mirror behind Lin Sanjiu, as if he wanted to pass through it.
Should I ask him about it …?
Pursing her lips, Lin Sanjiu did not say anything. After a moment of hesitation, she stepped aside.
Perhaps it was her intuition. But she could clearly feel that it was better not to ask him about the situation.
Lin Sanjiu was only an arm's length away from the mirror. If it was a suspicious person, he would have asked her to move away. However, the young man just smiled and nodded at her politely. He slowly walked towards the mirror.
This was the kind of confidence that came from years of winning.
The chubby young man in the mirror seemed to be walking out of the mirror at the same time. The man and the reflection quickly approached each other.
The mirror chamber was not big. When the young man walked past Lin Sanjiu, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. "… Since we've met, it must be fate. Shall we exchange names? I'm Ji Shanqing. What about you? "
It was a normal request. Lin Sanjiu hesitated for a moment. Then, she answered, "I'm Lin San —"
To her surprise, the last word "Jiu" seemed to be stuck in her throat. No matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to say it. It was as if there was some kind of force that was stubbornly stopping her from saying it. The young man was slightly taken aback. It seemed like he could not understand why a girl would be called Lin San. However, he was very polite and did not show it. Instead, he smiled and nodded, "Alright, good luck."
Ji Shanqing reached out and touched the mirror. His figure instantly disappeared before the mirror.
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect him to leave just like that.
"Your name is Lin San?" Mrs. Manas popped her head out the moment Ji Shanqing left. "Lin Sanjiu, when did you change your name?"
"Stop fooling around." Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
[Power]? Maybe it's because he said the word 'exchange' … Anyway, the first effect was triggered.
'I will be given a certain discount in any activity that involves exchange.' How did that turn out? I can't even say a complete name. Tell me, what's the use of this discount? "
Mrs. Manas burst into laughter. She even choked and coughed twice. It was as if she really had a trachea.
"You're laughing so happily," Lin Sanjiu sighed. "Looks like you've made some progress in your research?"
"Not bad. Not bad, "Mrs. Manas stopped laughing and said seriously," I didn't expect my first experiment to be so successful. Basically, the entire process of your body disintegration has been recorded. "
"What should I do next?"
"You don't have to do anything for now," Mrs. Manas sounded a little smug, "I will analyze the record and extract the changes and operation of the particles during the disintegration and recombination process. Next, you can use your higher consciousness to simulate the process. Of course, you can't simulate the disintegration process, but you can learn how to control it.
I think the mutation brought by the 'Newbie' cell group should be enough. "
"It doesn't sound difficult …" Lin Sanjiu didn't feel a sense of urgency when it came to controlling the mutation. She just casually replied, "Okay."
"It's not that I want to say this, but you have to put away your skeletal wings as soon as possible. They are too cumbersome. If you accidentally break the mirror, you will be in big trouble." Mrs. Manas seemed to have sensed Lin Sanjiu's attitude, so she changed her tone with a little dissatisfaction, "Now you know why that horse-faced man wanted you to break the mirror, right? Think about it, every mirror is like a particle conduction and recombination device. It will be activated the moment you touch it. In other words, if you want to break the mirror, you have to activate it first. So, when the activated mirror disintegrates you into particles, the conduction device breaks at the same time. Have you ever thought about how you will look like after you recombine? "
Lin Sanjiu shuddered when she heard Mrs. Manas's words. She couldn't help but put her skeletal wings even tighter.
If it was randomly recombined, regardless of whether it was still alive or not, it probably wouldn't even have a one-billionth chance of becoming a human …
Lin Sanjiu felt a little numb when she thought about how there was only a mirror separating her from a pile of meat.
"That horse-faced man better pray that I don't meet him again," she muttered to herself, "Otherwise, I will let him crash into the mirror!"
She had to put her skeletal wings away as soon as possible. The most important thing for her now was to find the mirror chamber where the grand prize was.
However, other than the fact that the grand prize was in one of the mirror chambers, she knew nothing about the location of the grand prize. She had almost no information about the grand prize. If she continued to travel around like a headless chicken and rely on luck, She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to find the grand prize even after a year.
"I can't use my [Higher Consciousness Mimicry] now, right?" Lin Sanjiu asked, hoping for a fluke.
"Of course not! Your Higher Consciousness and stamina will be drained every time you mimic Nuwa. What if you run into danger after the mimicry ends? "Mrs. Manas replied mercilessly.
If that was the case. Lin Sanjiu could only rely on her brain to come up with a solution. Sighing softly, Lin Sanjiu scanned her surroundings.
This room was the same. Its shape was very irregular. There were a total of 21 mirrors. Other than the three above her head and two below her feet, there were 16 that acted as "walls".
Although the diamond building he saw at that time wasn't very neat, overall, it was still a round shape with crooked and protruding edges.
In other words, the mirror chambers should be arranged along this irregular circle … Lin Sanjiu frowned deeply. She felt that she had found something useful.
She looked up and saw the mirror that Ji Qingshan had just left through.
Ever since that person came in, his gaze immediately fell on the mirror behind her. It was as if he didn't even consider going to another mirror. Wasn't that strange? If he knew that he would become the same person as the person in the mirror after he passed through one of the mirrors, wouldn't he be a little hesitant?
Especially when there was a stranger in front of that mirror … However, Ji Qingshan didn't change to another mirror. Instead, he took the risk of causing a conflict and asked Lin Sanjiu to move aside.
Unless … he had a reason that he had to go through that mirror.
Lin Sanjiu's gaze alternated between Ji Qingshan's "exit" and the mirror that he had entered through. Suddenly, she realized that even though the two mirrors weren't facing each other, from the mirror that Ji Qingshan had entered through, there was only one mirror that was facing each other. Only that mirror could be considered as the opposite side.
Lin Sanjiu shuddered.
Lin Sanjiu shuddered and finally came to her senses.
However, before she could figure it out, a female voice suddenly rang out in the quiet mirror chamber. Lin Sanjiu was startled. It was the three-minute time limit.
“10。 Nine, eight, seven, six … "
Seeing that there were only a few seconds left, Lin Sanjiu didn't have the time to use her blood to mark the mirror. She quickly punched the mirror under her feet. As expected, cracks appeared on the mirror. Lin Sanjiu rushed toward the mirror that Ji Qingshan had left through.
In the blink of an eye, she fell out of the mirror. This time, she was a short and chubby little ball.
Her height had shrunk by half. Even the mirror chamber seemed bigger. It took Lin Sanjiu a few seconds to get used to this low altitude.
However, this time, after she had a clear look at the structure of the new mirror chamber, she walked toward the mirror in front of her without any hesitation. As she walked, she didn't forget to put on her boots.
She had figured out Ji Qingshan's plan. In fact, it could be said that she had the same idea as Ji Qingshan.
Even though the mirror chambers had irregular shapes, they were limited by the shape and size of the external "container". They were bound to form a circle, even though the circle might not be a perfect one.
Since the mirror chamber was "sucked" from the outside, it meant that the first mirror chamber, as the starting point, must be the outermost part of the building. In the first mirror chamber, the first mirror that she fell out of should be pointing at the center of the diamond building.
At this point, if she could find the mirror with the largest angle to the "entrance mirror" and follow it to the first "corner", she would be able to find the mirror that was on the same outer line as the "entrance mirror".
From the second mirror chamber onwards, she couldn't use the same method to move forward.
The most important thing was to move forward along the "outer line". Once she deviated from the outer line, she would lose the reference point. If that happened, she would really get lost in the mirror chamber.
When Lin Sanjiu came back to the mirror chamber that she came from, it meant that she had walked around the diamond building. Even though it was a little clumsy, it was the most reliable way to explore the structure of the mirror chamber.
No matter what, from the second mirror chamber onwards, she should have gone through the mirror directly opposite the "exit mirror".
However, when Lin Sanjiu entered the mirror chamber, she didn't think too much about it. She just randomly picked the mirror and didn't know how to return to the first mirror chamber. She didn't even know about the angle. Fortunately, she met Ji Qingshan.
That young man with a very androgynous face was obviously using this method. As long as she followed him out of the exit, she should be able to return to the edge of the mirror chamber.
However, she had to rely on herself for the next step.
Since the shape of the mirror chamber wasn't very regular, it wasn't easy to find the "right opposite" mirror. Sometimes, she even had to take out her [Female Slave Bondage Rope] to measure the angle. At this point, Lin Sanjiu was really glad that the person who lost the dog leash didn't buy her bondage rope.
After biting her finger a few times, she finally realized what was going on.
"I have a knife!" Lin Sanjiu suspected that her intelligence had been occupied by the mirror chamber, so she didn't think of that. "Can't I just use the knife to mark the spot? I almost suffered from anemia … "
After making a crooked "13" mark, she strode to the mirror directly opposite her.
The familiar darkness flashed by. When she opened her eyes again, she was stunned.
Ji Qingshan's gentle and good-looking face, but she couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, turned to look at her. The gentleness on his face had disappeared, replaced by a worried expression.
"Looks like you also thought of the same method." He understood the situation the moment he saw Lin Sanjiu. He sighed softly, "I can't do it anymore. I can't go any further. Take a look. "
This was a mirror chamber with a standard isosceles triangle. Lin Sanjiu had walked out from the mirror at the bottom of the triangle. (To be continued.)
