Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 168 The Mirror and the Rag

The terrifying tentacles with ferocious suckers and sharp teeth that I saw in the last picture just now seemed to be right in front of my eyes. Even though two worlds were separated, Xie Zihao still felt that strong sense of oppression, and he couldn't help feeling a burst of pain in his back. cold sweat.

It was the first time he had really explored the spirit world, but only went a little deeper into the spirit world, and he encountered the A-level horror monster spirit predator introduced in the extraordinary manual of the Special Investigation Bureau. Xie Zihao felt that he was too unlucky or the spirit world was true so dangerous?
"And is that thing really just an A-level extraordinary monster? Why do I think it seems to be scarier than the ghost monster in the mine below Jinshan Ghost City?"

Xie Zihao thought about it with lingering fear, and then thought that the difference might be caused by different relationships in the world.

"Perhaps the soul-bonded monster will be even more terrifying in a world like the underworld. When it comes to the real world, it is the same as the clones of the red-faced devil and the yellow-eyed devil before, and their strength is suppressed by the rules of reality..."

Looking down at the things brought back by the two sons on the incense table.

Xie Zihao couldn't help complaining:
"What are these things? Do I really want to become a scavenger picking up rags!"

Itachi and Clark brought back a total of five items this time, but none of them looked complete or useful, and they were all tattered as if they had been picked up from a garbage dump.

One of these five items is the bone of an unknown creature, and the other is an opened waste can. God knows how there are cans in the spirit world?
It was still an empty can that I had eaten, and the lid of the can was still half-curled and attached to the empty box.

The third one was a half-broken mirror that was no bigger than a palm, then a dry branch of unknown species, and finally a piece of irregular triangular rag that seemed to be torn from something.

Xie Zihao didn't dare to directly use these things from the spiritual world, but went to the kitchen to get barbecue tongs, first picked up the bone sticks of unknown creatures that were only as long as chopsticks and as thick as sugarcane, and held his breath to observe carefully.

This thing doesn't look much different from ordinary animal bones, the difference is that the texture is somewhat jade-like, and it is slightly fluorescent, which may be due to the differences between spirit world creatures and real creatures.

"Animal bones can generally be used as medicine, or as materials for magic tools. Although the spirituality of the bones of this spirit world creature is not strong, it is far more spiritual than ordinary materials in the real world. It can be compared with some spiritual materials. It should be very marketable if it is used as a magic weapon material or to refine some amulets and small pendants!"

"Even if you don't use it to refine the magic weapon, if you break it, it can be used as a beacon for Itachi and the others to enter the spirit world next time. This piece can be used many times."

This first thing he was quite satisfied with.

Then he picked up the canned box again, the trademark pattern on it was already blurred, and soon he threw it into the box he had prepared before.

"This thing is completely rubbish. Like the previous two pieces of trash, it is not suitable for anything except a small amount of spirituality. It can only be used as a beacon for entering the spirit world next time. Is the spirit world also the same as the ocean in reality? Is there a floating litter problem?"

Feeling somewhat depressed, the third Xie Zihao picked up the dry branch first.

He observed this thing several times. Even with the sharingan's spiritual vision, he could only see that apart from a small amount of spirituality, there was still a trace of something different inside the branch.

It's just that with his knowledge, he can't study it immediately, so he is classified as the scope to be processed together with the bone of the spirit world.

The fourth piece, Xie Zihao, picked up the half of the broken mirror, looked at the rusty and dirty mirror surface, and suddenly a piece of mercury-like smooth mirror surface appeared in the mirror surface.

His scarlet eyes were reflected in the mirror.But then it disappeared, and the rusty dirty mirror surface was restored again.

"interesting!"

Xie Zihao looked at the shards of the mirror held in the clip with great interest.

This thing is not the modern industrial mirror, but similar to the one before the nineteenth century.

The original is a history student. In my memory, the earliest glass mirrors in the world probably appeared in the [-]th century, but the glass mirrors at that time were very rough and not considered real mirrors.

Until [-], the Italian glass craftsmen Dalcarlo brothers finally successfully developed a practical glass mirror.They first attached tin foil to the glass surface, and then poured mercury. After the mercury dissolved the tin, a layer of alloy called "tin amalgam" was formed, which adhered to the glass surface to form a relatively smooth silver mirror reflection surface.

This is the original glass mirror in the true sense.

It's just that the "tin amalgam" method is harmful to the human body, and it takes a lot of work to make, so glass mirrors were not popular at that time.

It wasn't until [-] that German chemist Liebig invented the chemical silver plating method that people got truly harmless glass mirrors.

With the development of modern industry, in the [-]th century, people invented the cheaper aluminum plating method. Since then, glass mirrors are no longer luxury goods, and the materials for making mirrors include not only glass, but also other materials besides copper. metal and plastic.

To Xie Zihao, this fragment of the glass mirror looked like an old-fashioned silver-plated glass mirror.Because there is no modern industrial coating on the back, and silver is more prone to rust.

"In this way, it can be roughly speculated that although we don't know how this mirror entered the spirit world, it should have been born between 70 and the [-]s."

"And judging from the reaction of the mirror fragments just now, there must be something tricky about this thing."

Xie Zihao put the mirror fragments on the side of the box, pretended to check the last rag, turned his head away from it, but in fact his spiritual perception was always paying attention to that thing.

It's just that after he picked up the rag, he found something different.

"what?"

This piece of cloth is a bit similar to the ancient sackcloth and linen cloth that ordinary people wear. It looks similar to the old coarse cloth seen in the previous life, but the weaving is more fine and dense, and the whole is in an irregular triangular shape. There is only one big It was about the size of a handkerchief, with ragged edges, as if torn from a complete piece of cloth.

What made Xie Zihao feel strange was that this piece of rag made him unable to see any spiritual light or feel any spiritual breath at all.

This is definitely an unusual thing to do.

You must know that even in the real world where spiritual power is aura or magic power is thin, everything has its own aura. Even the stones on the roadside and the man-made buildings in the community all have their own aura. The difference is just that It's just how much.

But this piece of rag made Xie Zihao unable to see any aura. The spiritual vision talent he brought with Sharingan was even more sensitive to aura than Melinda's natural psychic talent.

The fact that it is so ordinary and devoid of inspiration just shows that this rag is not normal.

Just when Xie Zihao was feeling strange, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the fragment of the mirror behind him, and at the same time, a reminder came from the cheat in his mind.

So Xie Zihao turned his head abruptly, and suddenly saw a strange hand with scales and long nails protruding from the mirror fragments, about to grab his back.

Xie Zihao, who had been prepared for a long time, was not frightened by this weird scene, but flew back while throwing the rag in his hand towards the strange hand and the fragment of the mirror.

　Third watch, good night and see you tomorrow!
