The origin of the Red Makeup Mirror was mysterious.
Jiang Wang didn't know much about its background.
He had obtained it by accident from Hu Shaomeng, but due to his limited strength, Hu Shaomeng didn't do much research on this treasure. He only discovered how to use it to create illusions.
But from what he knew, even the powerful Elder Hai Zongming of the Fishing Ocean Tower coveted this item.
And from the Red Makeup Mirror itself, Jiang Wang didn't obtain many clues from the Flying Snow Tribulation.
But the second Overturning the Seas Tribulation vaguely revealed a lot of information. But due to the lack of information, Jiang Wang couldn't piece together a complete understanding. He only knew that it was related to a person called "Overturning the Seas".
At the end of the Flying Snow Tribulation, the snow retreated, the frozen ground melted, and a spring breeze appeared. The female voice said, "Beauty Is Young".
At the end of the Overturning the Seas Tribulation, the world fell into eternal darkness. The female voice said, "Sun Extinguishing".
The opening of each tribulation had a sentence.
The first tribulation was, "Pity the beauty in front of the mirror, red makeup kills the person in the mirror!"
The second tribulation was, "Is there no beauty in the world? Red makeup kills one person. "
The third tribulation was, "Who in the world has a clear conscience? Overturning this body in the sea of bitterness. "
It didn't seem to be related, but it also seemed to be connected to a story.
The female voice at the beginning was connected to all the clues.
In the Flying Snow Tribulation, the voice was cold from beginning to end. In the Overturning the Seas Tribulation, when it first announced the beginning of the tribulation, it was also cold and indifferent. But when it said, "Overturning the Seas, I will kill you!", it was filled with hatred.
And this time, it was filled with sadness from the beginning.
It seemed that the female voice had slowly changed as the tribulation in the mirror world went through.
Jiang Wang didn't know what this change meant.
But this unknown was the opportunity that Jiang Wang wanted. Facing Zhuang Chengqian, who had plotted for so long and knew him well, he pulled him into the unknown and faced the same variable. This in itself was to erase the gap between them.
As for how much could be erased, it depended on how far the Red Makeup Mirror could go.
From the Flying Snow Tribulation to the Overturning the Seas Tribulation to the Questioning Heart Tribulation.
From the first time they were caught off guard, to the second time they decided to take the risk and explore, and then this time they decided to risk their lives.
Jiang Wang didn't think he had enough strength to go through the third tribulation in the mirror world, but at that moment, there was no other way.
Zhuang Chengqian was too terrifying. It was a kind of terror that made people despair. He firmly controlled the situation and calculated everything. No matter what resistance Jiang Wang had, he could easily deal with it. With a flip of his palm, he had suppressed all hope.
After trying all sorts of methods, the Red Makeup Mirror was the trump card he had to use.
Before truly using this trump card, even he himself did not know what it was, and what they would be facing.
…
…
"You could have saved me."
In the seemingly eternal darkness, Jiang Wang heard a voice say.
At this time, he could not see anything, but he could hear everything clearly.
"You could have saved me."
This sentence was repeated with different voices.
Ten different people, a hundred different people, a thousand different people ….
Countless voices merged into one sound, mixing into a hateful and painful sound.
"Why didn't you?!"
Looking back on all his experiences, what was the thing that made Jiang Wang regret the most, the thing that made Jiang Wang feel the most guilty?
Back in Maplewood City, he had already foreseen the danger ahead of time, but he had easily trusted Dong A. In the end, when the tragedy happened, apart from An 'an and Song Qingzhi, he had not been able to save anyone else.
His life-and-death brothers, teachers, classmates, neighbors, friends … all of them had perished forever.
That kind of regret and pain gnawed at his heart every moment.
"Why didn't you?"
In the endless darkness, a face gradually became clear.
That originally handsome face had been cut into pieces by sharp weapons. It was hideous and terrifying.
But Jiang Wang could still easily recognize that it was Zhao Rucheng.
"I …"
Jiang Wang reached out, wanting to touch him, but he did not dare.
Only Ruan Ruan stammered, "I … I …"
He had no way to explain.
He could not find any, nor could he find any excuse for himself.
This was his eternal pain!
"Why didn't you?"
Among the thousands of voices, Jiang Wang still recognized Ling He's voice.
His voice was broad and steady. Even if he was questioning, there was tolerance and intimacy. It was as if he was saying, Little Wang, it's okay. I don't blame you.
It was precisely this kind of tolerance that Ling He would definitely have that made Jiang Wang break down at once.
He knelt on the ground and held his head in pain. "I'm sorry … It's my stupidity and childishness that harmed you!"
In the darkness, a faint shadow was moving, approaching, getting closer and closer …
Jiang Wang knelt in the center of the darkness, surrounded by the darkness, as if he was about to merge into the darkness.
"Brother!"
He heard a child's voice that sounded like a silver bell.
"Brother! Don't you want me anymore? "
Jiang Wang suddenly stood up, his eyes full of tears. "An 'an, An' an!"
All the questioning voices dissipated.
A thousand, ten thousand, hundreds of thousands of voices all disappeared.
In the endless darkness, he couldn't see or hear anything.
But he was silent.
The silence lasted for a while.
He reached out and wiped away his tears in the darkness.
"Ling He is my brother, Ru Cheng is my younger brother, Ah Zhan is my friend, Master Xiao is my teacher, my beloved friends, my classmates, and my neighbors. I feel guilty towards all of you. "
He said, "The world I walk in is like a sea of bitterness."
"But I still have to go on. Not only do I have to take care of An 'an, but I also have to take all of you with me."
His voice was calm and firm.
"I will shoulder all the sorrow, I will bear all the pain. I will avenge your hatred, I will fulfill your dreams. "
The shadow in the depths of the darkness dispersed silently.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sound of a heartbeat suddenly sounded in the darkness, like the beating of a drum.
Jiang Wang felt that his heart seemed to be expanding, beating, and shouting, as if it was about to explode! It was about to explode into flying ashes along with his entire body.
And he heard, in the sound of the heartbeat, a voice that was indistinguishable from a man's or a woman's and without any emotion asked —
"In the face of treasures, have you ever been greedy?"
"In the face of beauty, have you ever had lustful thoughts?"
"Have you ever had rash thoughts of killing? Have you ever thought of destroying beauty? "
"Have you ever dreamed of power?"
"Have you ever been jealous of others?"
These questions went straight to the deepest part of his heart. It was as if it wanted to pull out all the darkness from the deepest darkness. To make people face it, to make people repent.
The voice said, "The deepest darkness is to face your own heart. The filth and viciousness in the depths of a living being's heart is deeper than the eternal darkness of the universe. "
"Do you see it? How will you face it? What will you choose? "
Jiang Wang had unknowingly sat cross-legged.
He sat alone in the eternal darkness, his five hearts facing the sky.
He did see the depths of his heart, and he did admit that he had evil thoughts.
But in the face of this last question, he only said four words.
He said —
"Flowers bloom with a thought."
Heaven and Hell were just a thought away.
