Chapter 64: Explosive Last Train

If Du Sanying was here, he would have screamed at the top of his lungs for everyone to run, because he could feel the problem with the mirror very strongly, but unfortunately, Du Sanying was still dazed after he was hit on the head, and hadn't yet come over, which might have been his luck, allowing him to escape from the situation without any problem.

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

Bai Liu thinks he is also unlucky, obviously do not know how to water, but every time there is water game, he is really a lot of water players, but obviously hate the water can not swim, sighing, Bai Liu limbs with dog paddle like paddling paddling, paddling to the Mu Sicheng where the carriages.

Mu Sicheng told Bai Liu what he knew, and then reminded Bai Liu: "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 could be?"

"It's impossible for the passengers to be on the bus, Antique City is the terminal, there should only be passengers getting off the bus, no passengers getting on the bus." Mu Sicheng stroked his chin and pondered, "Could it be in the station? But we came up from this station, it's unlikely to be in the station, I searched around and didn't see any broken lenses."

"We've searched the train several times, it can't be in the car ......" Mu Sicheng is still pondering and analyzing, "Could it be that the curio city will board a group of passengers later? "

Bai Liu, however, interrupted him, looking sideways at Mu Sicheng, "I see what Zhang Gui was trying to tell you?"

Mu Sicheng froze in fear, "Say what? What did he say about what's in the mirror?"

Bai Liu sidled over to the mirror, his eyes slightly sunken, "The mirror contains the last of the monsters."

"All the shattered lenses we've encountered are on monsters, whether it's the Burst Passenger or the Thief Brothers, the lenses are on them, we're still missing the last page of our monster book, which means we're missing the last monster, and the 20 shattered lenses we're missing are 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, I remember that the dead people in the news of the bombing case are the Thief Brothers besides the passengers, only these two are suitable to be designed as monsters in the game, right? Could it be the ghost in the mirror? But the game didn't have any clue hints before this, and we didn't trigger any story quests 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, "That would be the shattered mirror itself."

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

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

"I just felt something was wrong, because the system notice of Zhang Gui exiting the game was because of the spirit value clearing 0. It was strange because he was in the center of the explosion and his life value was only a dozen, but the death was because of the spirit value clearing 0. I thought at the time that you had tortured him with props."

Mu Sicheng was speechless, "I'm not that idle."

"But now it seems you don't." Bai Liu looked at the mirror thoughtfully, "Then the thing that tormented Zhang Gui to the point where his mental value cleared to 0 was something else, like this monster mirror."

"I always thought before that this mirror had an enhancing effect on those monsters, and that's why they were weakened after we took the shattered 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 Bombing of Mirror City, and I now realize that this is most likely not the case, because in reality, that pair of thief brothers from The Bombing were afraid of mirrors, and if this game's blueprint is referencing a real-life case, the mirror shouldn't have a gaining effect, because it's illogical."

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

"To us ......" Bai Liu eyes gradually stared, he was quiet for a minute, suddenly spoke, "Let's change our thinking, this mirror exploded into four hundred fragments inside the car, these four hundred fragments also all happened to be on the Passengers and Thief Brothers, if it was just the mirror exploding fragments bouncing into the passengers' bodies, it's impossible that every piece of it happened to be inside the passengers' and Thief Brothers' bodies, and it also happened to bounce into their specially protected key areas, which is very strange."

"...... It is indeed a bit strange." Mu Sicheng's brows tightened as he listened, "Because of what?"

Bai Liu drops his eyes, "The only reasonable explanation is - this distribution of debris is not caused by explosive ejection, but rather these monsters are collecting the broken lenses themselves, collecting them and hiding them in the most important parts of their bodies."

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

"Right, that's why they are collecting." Bai Liu's gaze gradually sank, "There are two teams collecting broken lenses in this game, us and the passengers, we are collecting because we want to gather this mirror, while they are collecting in order to stop us, they are afraid of this mirror, so they don't want us to finish collecting all the broken lenses, and they are trying to find a way to stop us, by hiding their own collected broken lenses separately in different people's bodies, hiding them in the most important parts, and we were the ones who went to grab them."

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

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

"There's only one reason-" Bai Liu's gaze fell on this mirror, "I'm guessing that the reason why they're in this shape is all because of this mirror."

At the moment of his words, the mirror under the water lit up, and a blazing fire burned inside, and Zhang Gui, who had disappeared, was inside the mirror.

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

But soon Zhang Gui will have no time to wonder, behind him suddenly appeared a clump of flames began to burn him, Zhang Gui began to scream and flee, constantly beating the mirror, seems to want to escape, but the flames behind him but relentlessly chasing him, Zhang Gui nowhere to escape, soon the mirror flames were burned into a zigzagging scorched corpse.

--exactly like those passengers.

"I was puzzled before as to why there were so many violently burned bodies in an explosion, since explosions are usually impact wounds, rarely direct burns, but all of the monsters we've seen, both the Burst Passenger and the Thief Brothers are in a very typical charred corpse form." Bai Liu looks at Zhang Gui, burned to a crisp in the mirror, and raises an eyebrow, "Now I think I know why."

Eventually the flames jumping in the mirror slowly extinguished, Zhang Gui's charred body also disappeared, the mirror clean and polished mirror clearly reflected the contents of the train, the only difference is - there is a piece of broken lens on the train in the mirror.

"Looks like we found the last broken lens." Bai Liu thoughtfully, "Sure enough, it's on the last monster."

"WOW." Bai Liu looked at his panel with a bit of rarity, encountering this kind of situation, he wasn't panicked at all, "Isn't this God-level NPC said to be hard to encounter? How come I encountered it again?"

But Mu Sicheng's mind had completely collapsed, after checking his panel, his face was green and white, Mu Sicheng gritted his teeth with a twisted to hideous expression and looked at Bai Liu, feeling as if he couldn't wait to darken Bai Liu's shark: "It's really worthy of you with a Lucky Value of 0.
