Chapter 66: Explosive Last Train

Shortly after "Bai Liu" gets off the bus, Bai Liu's body materializes from a translucent data-virtualized state, and he thoughtfully squeezes his palms so that he can touch the passengers around him.

I don't know whether his existence is virtualized because the two "Bai Lius" are in the same time and space, or whether his body is virtualized because "Bai Liu" doesn't get off the train and is about to die, but it doesn't matter.

The next stop is Antique City, and he's still on the train, which is about to explode in three minutes at the most.

"Bai Liu--!" Mu Sicheng's voice came from the crowded other compartment, he squeezed hard to Bai Liu's side, his face was hard to see, "There are so many people here, how can I find the broken lens? How can I find the broken lens? This last train is going to explode before we get to the station!"

"And I just tried, I was going to get off at that platform just now." Mu Sicheng's tone was grave, "But I couldn't get off, it was like I was stopped by something in this car."

But Bai Liu was deaf to Mu Sicheng's anxious pressing, Bai Liu did not close Mu Sicheng's topic but said to him, "Here is the reality, because the real [you] is not on this train, so you can't realize [get off the train] this action, and [the real me] has just gotten off the train, so there is no way for me to get off the train again on a train that [I] have already gotten off. a train that [I] have already gotten off, get off again, the cause and effect relationship is not established, it will lead to a logical disorder of the game."

"What reality?!" Mu Sicheng said alertly, "Bai Liu this isn't reality, this is in a game! Your mental value hasn't dropped, has it? Are you hallucinating? What are you saying about getting off or not getting off?"

"I don't mean that." Bai Liu tapped Mu Sicheng's shoulder with his finger, then pointed to the subway line map on the carriage, "Look at this line map, the last stop of the antique city is Lujiazui, not Reservoir, and notice that this subway line is not circular either, it's a linear subway line, this is the subway map in our real world. "

Mu Sicheng looked along Bai Liu's hand and realized this as well, he frowned, "But there's no way we can go back to reality, we are indeed in a game."

Bai Liu continued with a sense of realization, "When I say this place is [reality], I don't mean that we've returned to the real reality, the [reality] here is relative to the train full of charred corpses we were in before, that place wasn't really the game world, that place was just a constant loop of the mirror world. "

"And this train we're standing on now." Bai Liu points his toes at his feet, his eyes calm, "is the real game relative to reality, it can also be said that it is a parallel time and space caused by the possibilities derived from the reality that has already happened, the prototype of this game is the [Mirror City Bombing], and generally the reference prototype of our game is to restore the event to a high degree in the game, and that's already done well, whereas this game, it has the ability to do more than restore events."

"It recreates the event scenario." Bai Liu looked over to Mu Sicheng, "It takes us back to the point in time of that explosion, and then at that point in time it's up to us, the players, to manipulate it, and it plays out possible scenarios based on our manipulations, which can lead to different consequences."

For example, just now Bai Liu logged into the train and his first reaction was to go to find himself and Lu Yizhan. The original Bai Liu didn't sleep on this train because of the cold, but Bai Liu who logged into this train brought one thing with him that warmed up the compartment - 380 shattered lenses, which had just been exploded. The 380 broken lenses, which had just exploded, automatically entered Bai Liu's system backpack when he entered the Mirror World.

Bai Liu is virtual, but the mirror is real, and Bai Liu's proximity to the mirror warms the tired "Bai Liu" with residual heat, causing him to get really sleepy and preventing him from getting off the bus with Lu Yizhan, as Bai Liu remembers.

But Mu Sicheng wasn't paying any attention to that, he just needed to know that Bai Liu knew that this place was still in the game, and with three minutes to go before the train exploded Mu Sicheng was so anxious that he was so focused on getting through that he grabbed the key information from Bai Liu's words.

"A constantly looping world of mirrors?" Mu Sicheng asked eagerly but rhetorically, "What do you mean by constantly looping?"

"Don't you think there's a big logic hole in that previous mission of ours to collect broken lenses?" Bai Liu said lazily, "We were to collect shattered lenses on a last train that was about to explode right?"

Mu Sicheng nods, "Yes."

"But--" Bai Liu lifted his eyelids and looked at Mu Sicheng with a smile on his face, "--if this last train hasn't exploded yet, where did those broken lenses on the train come from? not exploded yet, where did those shattered lenses on the car due to the explosion come from?"

"Unless it has exploded and we have broken lenses to collect after the explosion."

Mu Sicheng came to a complete standstill for a second or two before coming back to his senses as he mumbled in a trance, "It's a constantly cycling last train that explodes over and over again ...... It's no use at all for us to collect the good broken lenses in there, and after we're done collecting them there's a good chance we'll be trapping ourselves completely in That constantly cycling exploding last train, so those passengers are thinking of ways to stop us, grass - they're saving us stupid players."

"Yes, I noticed before I got to the subway station that the elevator was running in the opposite direction, and then the order of the passengers was also reversed, and even our mission was somehow reversed." Bai Liu explained clearly. Bai Liu explained clearly, "Our task is to collect the broken lenses, but in fact, the broken lenses have already been collected by the [passengers], what we are doing instead is to scatter and grab the broken lenses again, and it seems that we are doing the villain's job, and the passengers are the right ones, I guess this is one of the properties of mirrors! --[Reversing the nature of the object itself]."

"So I think the main quest in the mirror, and the real main quest in this reality we are in should be reversed." Bai Liu's eyes were calm and lazy, his hand picking at the coins on his chest with one motion, "In this reality we're in, the train hasn't exploded yet, that means the mirrors aren't broken at all, and the quest in the mirrors is to collect and piece together the mirrors, so the flip side of that would be- "

Mu Sicheng realized something with a jolt, "We have to break the mirror!"

Bai Liu hooked his lips and snapped his fingers, "bingo."

[System Alert: Congratulations to Player Bai Liu and Player Mu Sicheng for triggering the Ultimate Main Quest--Shatter the Ghost Mirror of Sin and end the continuous cycle of Mirror Burst Shuttle].

[System Alert: Bai Liu's 380 broken mirrors are in their place, please find the real mirror quickly and break it to clear the level]

Mu Sicheng let out a long breath with some hindsight, as he looked at Bai Liu, he couldn't help but tsk, "You guy, even like this is your brain not messed up at all?"

Three minutes explosion countdown, one point of life value, this bastard actually have the mood to think about the real world real mission, he does not burn?

"But where is the mirror?" Bai Liu wasn't distraught, but Mu Sicheng was, "There are six cars in this train, and there are still two minutes left, so there's no way we can look in every one of them."

"No need to look." Bai Liu leaned unhurriedly against the door as he pointed, "I've been on this train before, and before I got off I remembered that the pair of thieves were in this section, and I came straight over here, and it turns out that they were indeed in this section, noo, standing in the center."

Mu Sicheng line of sight to move over, only to see the crowd stood a large and small two thieving passengers, hands pushing a huge suitcase, just the size of a mirror can be put down, the mirror should be inside, next to a few suits standing, should be the museum personnel, Mu Sicheng once he saw it reacted to the fact that they are the pair of thieves brothers, he glanced at the He glanced at Bai Liu, a bit speechless: "You saw it long ago, why don't you go over there? Why don't you go over there?

Bai Liu spread his hands and laughed, "This is not waiting for you to steal the mirror, big thief, how can I have the ability to steal from another pair of thieves, which of course you have to do."

Mu Sicheng was stunned for a moment, then slowly hooked his lips and snorted, "You're good at saving time."

After the words were spoken, Mu Sicheng's eyes changed, becoming cold and frozen as he adjusted the position of his headphones, put on a hooded hat to cover his eyes downward, and flung his right hand diagonally backward into a sharp, joined monkey's paw as he shifted his body ghostly past the passengers around him.

Bai Liu couldn't even see what Mu Sicheng had done before he heard the thieving brothers scream, "The mirror is gone--! There's a thief!!!"

The crowd in the carriage was in an uproar, Bai Liu turned his head and felt the back of his collar being lifted, Mu Sicheng with a hood in one hand was leading the case, Bai Liu was in the other hand, his mouth with an indulgent smile, stepping on the wall of the carriage to run up in the air, behind the thieves' brother's hissed and angry roar: "Catch the thief! "

Mu Sicheng expressionlessly flashed his knife and said the word "roll," and the crowd immediately screamed and panicked and got out of the way and ran to the other compartments, and Mu Sicheng just ran all the way to the end of the car, and scared away the other passengers in the car, leaving a whole compartment empty for them.

"Cool, Mu Sicheng, you're really not bad at doing bad things." Looking at the instantly empty compartment, Bai Liu praised sincerely.

Mu Sicheng raised an eyebrow, "Same as each other."

Bai Liu crouched down and opened the box, inside was indeed the mirror, and is complete, Bai Liu put the mirror up a moment, heard the system shrill warning sound.

[SYSTEM WARNING: The moment the mirror is broken, a god-level NPC will break the mirror, and all players in front of the mirror will be attacked indiscriminately, so please be careful of breaking the mirror!

Being attacked by a god-level NPC, whether it is Bai Liu or Mu Sicheng, with their current life value it is certain death, Mu Sicheng corner of the mouth smile quickly dispersed, the empty carriages are only the sound of the wind that was poured in by the train, and Mu Sicheng was scared to cry passengers little whimpering sound from the other carriages over.

The sweet female radio voice came on at the right time:

"Coming to the end of the line -"
