I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 225: Mobius Strip (Part )
"Miss He, would you like to go in and take a look?"

"Go in? What is this?" He Si's voice was full of vigilance. She forced herself to move her eyes away from the Möbius strip, looked at Deng Yizhi's face through the changing spots of light, and took a step back.

"What do you think this is, Miss He?"

"Could it be... reincarnation?"

"Is that so? It is indeed like reincarnation, with ups and downs, twists and turns, cycles and repetitions. The starting point is also the end point, and the inner observation is also the outer expression. Unfortunately..." Deng Yizhi pondered for a while, but shook his head. "If he could show the reincarnation of this world, we can sort out your and Qin Jian's past and present lives, and we won't be guessing until now."

"Then what is this?"

"It is infinite."

"unlimited?"

He Si frowned in confusion. The light spots gathered more gracefully and smoothly, as if they were a twisting ribbon instead of scattered light spots. Inevitably, He Si's attention was attracted again. She squinted her eyes slightly, and Deng Yizhi's low voice sounded in her ears again: "I heard that Miss He likes to play games. Look at the light flowing on the Möbius strip. Does it look like the data flow in the cyber world?"

"Cyber ​​world? Really... it seems..." He Si's brain had been searching for the answer in the ancient rhyme related to porcelain. Suddenly she was pulled into the surreal world. She was very uncomfortable and became even more confused.

Deng Yizhi's voice did not stop: "The space without beginning or end, without inside or outside, breaks through the plane of the two-dimensional world, and the data is always flowing and updating. Isn't the world inside infinite?"

"It's like a relay station between the outer world and the inner space, a storage device with infinite capacity. But why... why do fragments from centuries ago possess the power of the cyber world?"

"What is cyber? Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. This is the wisdom of our ancestors." Deng Yizhi's voice became more and more distant, but the Möbius strip in front of him was getting closer and closer. The ground began to undulate, the walls began to twist, and the figures of the people around her became crooked, black and white were difficult to distinguish, the sky and the earth were turned upside down, and the four dimensions were rotating. He Si saw a huge light coming to her feet. A second before she was swallowed, she grabbed Deng Yizhi's arm.

Different from the feeling of entering the Hall of Mirrors, after a feeling of weightlessness that almost made her heart jump out of her throat, He Si barely managed to steady herself.

"What does this mean, Miss He?"

"If we're going to die, we'll die together." He Si was too lazy to continue pulling. The double-image world gradually merged before her eyes. The brilliant colors turned into a monotonous and dazzling white. She took two steps forward and began to look at the changes around her - time and space lost their accuracy, and the front, back, left and right became blurred. She stood on a huge plane, like a tiny ant facing her unknown fate.

Footsteps sounded behind him. He Si did not turn around. She looked at the infinitely extending ground and asked, "What is stored here?"

"The real clue, something that can't be shown to the mirror."

As Deng Yizhi spoke, a series of pictures appeared on the ground in front of He Si.

"Zhou Qian, Lin Huan, Zeng Bin..." He Si walked forward, looking down at these familiar yet unfamiliar figures, "Deng Chensha, isn't this Director Deng's relative? Why is he here too?"

"If you look further ahead, you can also see yourself, Liu Rui, Fan Yu, Xiao Lin... all the people related to the recent case were photographed."

"What about Director Deng?" He Si turned around, her eyes leaving the photos and looking straight at Deng Yizhi. Xiao Jiu also hummed at this moment, standing on He Si's shoulder, looking tense. "Of course he's here too," facing the aggressive girl and the provocative pet on her shoulder, Deng Yizhi remained polite and just pointed to the picture not far away and said, "It's right there."

"I don't understand," He Si stared at Deng Yizhi for a long time. She didn't see any conspiracy, but only saw his openness and magnanimity. She couldn't help but slow down her tone. "What do these photos mean? Did they also take them with that camera?"

Deng Yizhi nodded, pointed at the photo and asked, "Who's missing here?"

"Who is missing?" He Si was full of doubts. She walked around the photo twice and thought for a while before answering, "No one is missing. It's the Duke of Argyle who took one more photo... That's not right!"

He Si was startled and immediately looked at Deng Yizhi, but caught a hint of smile in his eyes.

"You said that these photos were taken with the Duke's camera, so why is the Duke still holding a camera in this photo?"

"I'm not lying to you. After realizing that there might be illusions created by the mirror among us, I asked the Duke of Argyll to take a photo of each person, one and only one, and all of them were taken with the Hasselblad camera that landed on the moon. In order to prevent being discovered, the photos were not developed, but directly imported into this storage device with unlimited space."

"How is that possible? Look for yourself. There are clearly two photos of the Duke." He Si said, her voice gradually getting lower. "It's still not right. The pose in this photo... is not of the Duke. He is taking a photo of someone else."

"As expected of Miss He, we struggled with this photo for much longer than you did."

"This photo looks like a selfie of the Duke in front of a mirror," He Si looked at the picture in disbelief, "but it's not a selfie, it's because the person he wanted to take a photo of was the mirror, and the camera made that person reveal his true self, so... the Duke's reflection in the mirror appeared in the photo - two photos of the Duke."

"Ms. He, have you discovered who is missing now?"

"It turned out to be him."

He Si fell into complete silence. She thought of that person, a person she had never doubted, a person who seemed invisible but appeared in this series of events all the time. He Si recalled their first conversation. It turned out that everything had been planned on the day they first met.

Deng Yizhi did not interrupt her thinking. After a long while, he heard He Si ask, "So, Qin Jian is not a mirror?"

"Yes," Deng Yizhi nodded slightly, "Although I don't know what he is and why he has the ability to control the mirror gallery, but judging from the photo, he can't be a mirror."

"No wonder the camera couldn't capture his true self, no wonder he suddenly lost the ability of the mirror gallery, no wonder he always said he couldn't feel the bond between him and the mirror," He Si brightened up after figuring out the connection, and finally smiled at Deng Yizhi, "So everything just now was performed for the mirror. You didn't suspect Qin Jian, and he and Fan Yu were fine. You wanted to mislead the mirror?"

"We are just using his tricks against him. He has been plotting to divide us, so we just did what he wanted to do and see what he wants to do." Deng Yizhi smiled and said meaningfully, "Besides, we think he should know the story between Qin Jian and you."

"We...what kind of story can we have?"

He Si's face turned slightly red, and she heard Deng Yizhi add: "At least we have to figure out what Qin Jian is."

Have you guessed who the mirror is?
