Chapter 64: Explosive Last Train

If Du Sanying had been here, he would have screamed at the top of his lungs and told everyone to run, because he could feel very strongly the problem with the mirror, but unfortunately Du Sanying was still dizzy from the headbutt and hadn't come over yet, which was probably lucky for him that he escaped unscathed.

"What was in the mirror-" Mu Sicheng muttered, " What did Zhang Gui see in the mirror, before it exploded?"

Bai Liu felt that he was unlucky too, he obviously did not know how to swim, but every time he came across a game with water, he was really a player of water, but he hated water and could not swim, sighing, Bai Liu paddled on all fours like a dog paddle and reached the carriage where Mu Sicheng was.

Mu Sicheng told Bai Liu what he knew and then reminded him, "But whatever Zhang Gui wants to say, our priority is to find the remaining twenty broken lenses, where do you think the remaining twenty broken lenses are?"

"It's not possible to be on the passengers, Antique City is the terminal, there should only be passengers getting off, not getting on." Mu Sicheng rubbed his chin and pondered, "Could it be in the station? But we came up from Antique City, so it's not likely to be in the station, I didn't see any broken lenses when I searched around."

"We've searched the train several times, and it's unlikely to be on board ......" Mu Sicheng was still thinking and analysing, "Could it be that another group of passengers will be boarding at Antique City later? "

Bai Liu interrupted him, looking sideways at Mu Sicheng, "I know what Zhang Gui wants to say to you?"

Mu Sicheng was stunned for a moment: "What did he say? What did he say about what was in the mirror?"

Bai Liu turned his head sideways to the mirror, his eyes sinking slightly, "There's one last monster in the mirror."

"All the broken lenses we encountered were on the monsters, both the bursting passengers and the thieving brothers, the lenses were on them, we were still missing the last page of our monster book, which meant we were short of the last monster, and the 20 broken lenses we were missing were most likely on the last monster."

Mu Sicheng frowned: "Then what is the last monster? Generally speaking, monsters in games are dead people or animals, and I remember that the dead people in the news about the bombing were either the passengers or the thief brothers, so only these two are suitable to be designed as monsters in games, right? Could it be the ghost in the mirror? But this was before the game had no clues to suggest that we had triggered any story missions related to the ghost in the mirror."

"No you're missing the point, there doesn't need to be a ghost in the mirror, there's something else dead in this case." Bai Liu's eyes twitched slightly, "And that was the broken mirror itself."

Mu Sicheng was stunned as he snapped back to look at the mirror, "You mean the mirror was the last monster?!"

"Right." Bai Liu bent his body and tsked at the mirror, " What Zhang Gui should be trying to tell you is - the last monster is a mirror."

"I just thought something was wrong because the system notice of Zhang Gui quitting the game was because of a spirit level clearance, which was strange because he was at the centre of the explosion and had only a dozen life points but died because of a spirit level clearance, I thought at the time that you had tortured him with props."

Mu Sicheng is speechless: "I'm not that free."

"But now it seems you don't." Bai Liu looked thoughtfully at the mirror, "Then what tortured Zhang Gui to the point where his spirit value cleared was something else, like this monster mirror."

"I always thought before that this mirror had an enhancing effect on those monsters, which is why they became weak after we took the broken lenses." Bai Liu bobbed his body in the water, his head close to the mirror to observe the broken mirror, "But you reminded me about The Mirror City Bombing, and I now realise that this is most likely not the case, because the real life Bombing brothers were afraid of the mirror, and if the blueprint of this game is a reference to the real life case, the lenses shouldn't have had a gain on the thief brothers effect, as illogical."

Mu Sicheng pulled on the hoop to prevent himself from floating away in the water, and he looked at Bai Liu in confusion: "Then how do you explain the fact that every time we removed the lenses, these monsters weakened against us?"

"For us ......" Bai Liu's eyes grew fixed as he remained silent for a minute before suddenly speaking, "Let's think of it another way, this mirror exploded into four hundred pieces inside the car, and all four hundred of those pieces also happened to be in the If the mirror exploded into the passengers and the thieves, it is very strange that every single piece of the mirror could have been inside the passengers and the thieves, and that it also happened to bounce into the key parts of their bodies that they were deliberately protecting."

"...... is indeed a bit strange." Mu Sicheng's brow grew tighter as he listened, "Because of what?"

Bai Liu lowered his eyes, "The only logical explanation is this - this distribution of debris is not the result of an explosive ejection, but these monsters are collecting broken lenses on their own, collecting them and hiding them in the most important parts of their bodies."

"Collect it yourself?!" Mu Sicheng was a little surprised, "I thought you said they were afraid of this mirror?"

"Yes, that's why they're collecting." Bai Liu's gaze gradually sank, "There are two teams collecting broken lenses in this game, us and the passengers, we collect because we want to gather this mirror, and they collect to stop us, they are afraid of this mirror, so they don't want us to collect all the broken lenses and try to stop us by hiding their collected broken lenses on different bodies, hiding them in the most important parts, and we were the party that went to grab them."

"Their weakness after being robbed of the broken lenses was not because the broken lenses gave them gain, but because the broken lenses they were afraid of came from into our hands and they were weak because they were afraid of us."

Mu Sicheng was a bit shocked: "But why are these passengers and monsters doing this?"

"There is only one reason -" Bai Liu's gaze fell on the mirror, "I suspect that the mirror is the reason they are in this state."

The moment he said this, the mirror under the water lit up and a blazing flame flared up inside, and Zhang Gui, who had disappeared, was inside the mirror.

Where Zhang Gui's eyes are is the triangular shard gap in the mirror, which also makes Zhang Gui seem unable to see, and he mumbles suspiciously, walking around and tapping in the mirror, "Where is this place?"

But soon Zhang Gui had no more time to wonder, as a blaze suddenly appeared behind him and began to burn him. Zhang Gui began to scream and flee, flapping the mirror as if trying to escape, but the flames behind him were relentlessly pursuing him.

-- exactly the same as those passengers.

"I was wondering before why there were so many violently burned bodies in an explosion, because explosions are usually impact wounds and rarely direct burns, but all the monsters we saw, both the burst passengers and the thief brothers were in pretty typical charred corpse form." Bai Liu looked in the mirror at Zhang Gui, who was burnt to a crisp, and raised an eyebrow, "Now I think I know why."

Eventually the flames leaping in the mirror slowly extinguish and Zhang Gui's charred corpse disappears, the mirror's clean, polished surface clearly reflecting the contents of the train, the only difference being - there is a broken lens on the train in the mirror.

"Looks like we've found the last broken lens." Bai Liu pondered, "Sure enough it was on the last monster."

"Wow." Bai Liu looked at his panel with a bit of surprise, he didn't panic at all when he encountered this situation, "Isn't this god level NPC said to be hard to encounter? How come I've met it again?"

But Mu Sicheng's mind had completely collapsed, and after checking his panel, he turned blue and white. Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu with an expression twisted to a grimace and gritted his teeth, feeling as if he could not wait to darken Bai Liu: "How worthy of you with a luck value of 0. "

"God ordained me to be so lucky to meet him every time." Bai Liu shrugged, "There's nothing I can do about it."
