76: Chapter 76: The Game of Mirror God 76: Chapter 76: The Game of Mirror God The mirror was placed in the center of the living room, visible as soon as the security door was opened.
The surface of the mirror did not reflect any person’s image, but it bore four characters—those who move it, die.
“A mirror that doesn’t reflect people?
And it’s directly facing the door?”
Han Fei rarely saw such an arrangement, because it was taboo in Feng Shui.
Reflective mirrors—since fortune and auspicious energy enter through the main door, if a mirror is placed directly opposite, the energies would be reflected away, possibly affecting the homeowner’s career and wealth over time.
“Does ‘those who move it die’ mean not to touch the mirror, or not to move about carelessly in the room?”
Han Fei couldn’t worry about that now, his first thought was to close the security door to ensure his own safety, but when he turned to close the door, he discovered that the lock had been deliberately damaged.
The psychopaths outside crazily battered the security door; Han Fei desperately pushed his body against the door.
“At this rate, I might be trapped and die in this room!” There were three attackers, and Han Fei’s strength was originally less than that of those Outsiders.
He watched as the door was gradually pushed open.
“Hiding in other rooms in 1074 isn’t safe either, the only way to escape this predicament is to rush out the moment they enter!”
Han Fei gritted his teeth, retreating on his own the moment the door was pushed open just a palm’s width.
The heavy security door hit the wall, and because Han Fei had suddenly retreated, the three mad killers outside were unable to brace themselves, tumbling into the room.
Han Fei had hoped to take this chance to escape, but with the three killers rushing at him like bees to honey, he was forced to retreat further.
As he moved back, Han Fei’s body accidentally touched the mirror standing in the middle of the living room.
“Attention player No.
You have successfully triggered a Grade G hidden task—The Game of the Mirror God!”
“The Game of the Mirror God (Grade G Hidden Task): Once the task begins, the reflection of you in the mirror will mimic your first movement, and after it has successfully mimicked it, will add a new movement.
You need to perform this new movement, then add another movement for the mirror’s reflection of you to mimic.
Repeat this process without any errors, last for ten minutes, and the task is completed.”
A task prompt suddenly echoed in Han Fei’s brain sea, leaving him uncertain whether to feel joy or to cry.
Completing the task would allow him to leave the game, but the problem was the three psychopathic killers nearby.
“I really suspect Huang Ying was deceiving me; it seems like there are hidden tasks everywhere in this Deep World.”
After Han Fei’s body touched the mirror, four figures gradually emerged within it, slightly blurred, perfectly corresponding to the four individuals currently in room 1074.
Han Fei received the task prompt and therefore dared not move carelessly, but the three Outsiders were different.
Seeing Han Fei standing frozen, they immediately charged at him.
However, as they took their first step, their reflections in the mirror performed the same action as well.
But after taking a step, the reflections in the mirror stopped and then raised their heads to reveal their sinister faces.
The man with a delicate and shadowy appearance was the first to sense something was wrong and did not continue to charge forward.
One of the killers, covered in scars, was fully driven by his desire to kill.
With only Han Fei in his eyes, he was desperate to tear Han Fei to pieces.
Issuing a strange roar from his mouth, he paid no heed to the mirror, stabbing his knife toward Han Fei’s neck like a wild beast.
But just as he was two or three steps away from Han Fei, a number of gray arms suddenly stretched out from within the mirror, seizing his body firmly.
No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free, and bit by bit, he was dragged into the mirror.
The knife in the hand of the Outsider fell in front of Han Fei, as if he had never appeared in the room, vanishing just like that.
The room suddenly became very quiet, and the remaining two Outsiders and Han Fei dared not make any moves.
“This mirror is terrifying,” Han Fei shivered with cold, the Outsiders were much stronger than him, but in front of the mirror, they only struggled for a few seconds: “Meng Shi even said the seventh floor was not dangerous, but just this one mirror is scary enough.”
The mirror was incredibly eerie, but it also had a flaw: it couldn’t move itself, and with the warning written on the mirror, a normal person wouldn’t seek death on their own.
The fact that Han Fei and the Outsiders triggered the mirror was completely accidental, they were all unaware of its terror, truly ignorance is courage, and only after finding out did they regret it.
Nobody in the room moved, and about ten seconds later, the gray arms emerged from the mirror again, the three people in the mirror all revealing sinister ghost faces.
The effeminate man frowned and surveyed his surroundings, and when he raised his head to meet the eyes of his reflection, the gray arms reaching toward his face disappeared.
“Do I need to make the same movements as the person in the mirror?” The effeminate man was smart, he spoke up the moment he saw the hands reaching for him vanish.
The surviving scar-faced man also understood, he too looked up at the mirror, but the murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish in the least.
The gray arms reaching out to the two Outsiders all retracted, but more and more arms appeared in front of Han Fei.
“It seems we cannot stand still for long, if we don’t make a move within about fifteen seconds, the gray hands will appear.” Han Fei silently stepped back towards the door, his reflection in the mirror did the same, then bent down to pick up the knife on the floor.
Seeing the other person pick up the knife, Han Fei had a very ominous hunch: if the other person stabbed themselves with it, would he have to follow suit?
This game seemed simple on the surface, but on further thought was actually quite horrifying.
“If you don’t make a move, the gray hands only come out of the mirror after an interval of fifteen seconds!
Don’t make your movements too quickly!” Han Fei took the initiative to speak to the other two in the room, he was not really concerned about them, but wanted to buy as much time as possible.
The two Outsiders did not at all believe that Han Fei was being kind-hearted, and they took different actions.
The scar-faced man walked step by step toward the mirror, while the effeminate man was continuously closing in on Han Fei.
“You just want that blood-red Insect Pupae, don’t you?
I’ll give it to you, that thing is useless to me.
Let’s not have infighting, even if you want to kill me, it can wait until we escape; it’s not worth risking our lives.” Han Fei didn’t want to be attacked by two murderers while on a mission, so he wracked his brains trying to persuade them.
“Neighbors helping neighbors, the mountain becomes jade; villagers cooperating, the soil turns to gold!
Why not we put aside our differences for now and work together to find a way to survive first?”
“If we end up soul scattering, then we’ll truly have nothing left.”
Under Han Fei’s earnest persuasion, the effeminate man slowed his movements, but the scar-faced man seemed to have completely lost his sanity, stepping right up to the mirror.
When it was his turn to move, the man raised the knife in his hand and viciously smashed it toward the mirror.
