Chapter 226: Mirror Polisher (I)

"Wait, when did you discuss today's plan with Qin Jian?" He Si remembered Fan Yu's sudden visit. She had been alone with Qin Jian for a long time before that, and even experienced a dream. However, Qin Jian did not mention any word about this plan to her, which made He Si suspicious.

"We have never discussed it." Deng Yizhi said frankly, "The mirror is not an ordinary object, and you and Qin Jian are his key surveillance targets, so we dare not be careless. The rest of us only know part of the plan, and it was all handed over secretly."

"But..." Qin Jian was not someone who could be manipulated by others. He Si wanted to say something but couldn't find the right words. She could only say it vaguely, "You rashly separated me from him and tried to trap him while leading me into the dark room. How can we ensure that he doesn't resist and that everything goes according to plan without alerting the mirror?"

"The fragment you and I are in now is the first ancient artifact that Qin Jian and the Special Protection Bureau have worked on."

Deng Yizhi's answer seemed irrelevant, but He Si heard something different in it: "He knew about this ancient artifact? So when it appeared in the exhibition hall and even triggered my hallucinations, Qin Jian immediately realized that you were passing information to him."

"Haha," Deng Yizhi clapped his hands, "In order to prevent him from forgetting things that happened too long ago, Director Fan will probably say a few more words on purpose."

Thinking of Fan Yu, a nearly two-meter-tall strong man, talking in front of Qin Jian in a long-winded and nagging manner, carefully choosing his words and testing him, He Si couldn't help but smile: "Director Fan is very good at underground work. He will definitely be able to help Qin Jian recall without being discovered by the enemy."

"Yes, and the photo-taking matter was also discussed directly between Qin Jian and the Duke," Deng Yizhi looked at He Si meaningfully, "Because of some of Miss He's hallucinations, he began to suspect that he had an evil side, which was the mastermind behind all the chaos now, and that there were spies planted by that person around us. However, he did not have any memories of that personality, so he also believed that the personality did not have his memories. They had relatively independent lives, but that side would appear in every corner of the Hall of Mirrors to monitor him. To be cautious, he found a vampire that was completely unrelated to this series of events. They made this plan next to the Duke's dark coffin, and then asked the Duke to come directly to me after taking the photos."

It turned out to be a vampire's coffin. Although it was not absolutely dark, the two people's ability was enough to prevent others from hearing the content of their conversation. He Si thought that when she was still immersed in those magical artifacts, Qin Jian had already started to act. When did he start to doubt it? Could it be? The standing skeleton flashed through He Si's mind.

"He should have anticipated Yuan Yuan's situation and wanted to find other clues from the photos, but he didn't expect you to take a picture of the mirror directly."

"Yes, the unexpected gain also confirmed Qin Jian's guess about that person from another aspect. He didn't have Qin Jian's memory, but only relied on surveillance to obtain information. He obviously underestimated our friends from the West, so he was photographed so easily." Deng Yizhi confirmed He Si's idea, "But, this information is too sensitive. I dare not tell Qin Jian directly. I can only follow his logic and use an ancient artifact that he knows but Jingzi doesn't know as a code to start a new plan."

"Director Deng," He Si asked after pondering for a while, "At first we all thought that there was a twin mirror situation, and suspected that Qin Jian would gradually lose himself in the battle with another personality, but now it seems that the other person is the mirror, and the double image in Qin Jian's photo is most likely related to his injury. If he is not a mirror, but can use the mirror corridor, what is he?"

"I don't know," Deng Yizhi shook his head in embarrassment, saying helplessly, "It's not clear how closely the mirror monitors us, and I don't dare to use the power of the Special Security Department to conduct a comprehensive investigation. We know nothing about Qin Jian's true identity."

"What if I said I had an idea?"

Deng Yizhi looked at He Si, and his frown slowly relaxed: "I'm all ears."

"He's the one who made the mirror."

"Mirror polisher? That would explain his power of moving the mirror," Deng Yizhi was skeptical, "but what about Song Zhaoxuan? Miss He saw him with her own eyes. He was the young general who gave you the mirror that year." "In the world of mirrors, seeing is not necessarily believing," He Si began to look for details in her memories, "Those illusions were too real, they didn't seem to be fabricated out of thin air, but I always felt that Song Zhaoxuan's appearance was too deliberate, and his face looked particularly clear in the illusion."

"You mean... the flow of memories is real, but the details, such as the face of the young general, have been changed?"

"Today we are able to get wet in the snow together, and in this life we ​​can grow old together..." Countless details began to emerge in He Si's mind, and she couldn't help but mutter.

Deng Yizhi had no idea what He Si was thinking. The two lines of poetry blurted out by the person in front of him made his thoughts, which had just started to improve, fall into confusion again. He asked, "What does it mean?"

"These are the words I heard in the illusion. Song Zhaoxuan said them to me, but the voice was Qin Jian's. At that time we thought..." He Si explained and suddenly stopped talking.

"Ms. He must have thought that she was overthinking it, so she replaced the character's voice with Qin Jian's."

I didn't think so. I felt suspicious at the time. It was Qin Jian who thought so. He Si complained in her heart, but said: "Not only that, the Song Zhaoxuan in the illusion always makes people feel that he is just a fake with a similar face. Apart from his face, his whole body aura is very similar to Qin Jian."

"It seems that this is indeed possible."

"There is more," He Si thought of new evidence before Deng Yizhi finished speaking, "Today I saw a new illusion. In that illusion, Song Zhaoxuan seemed to be my master, much older than me, but Song Zhaoxuan lying on the ground still looked young. It must be the mirror's negligence. He created an illusion to deceive me, but forgot that time will make people old."

He Si paused as she spoke. She suddenly remembered that after Fan Yu appeared, the teasing words "daddy boyfriend" had briefly triggered the illusion, allowing her to see the person lying in her arms again. It was clearly Qin Jian, whose face was full of vicissitudes when they first met. There were obviously so many suspicious points, but they had always ignored them.

"Qin Jian and Miss He have been particularly compatible since they first met. It turns out that you two are destined to be together for a thousand years."

Knowing that Deng Yizhi was joking, He Si's face still blushed, but then her face gradually turned pale, because this brought more questions, such as - if Qin Jian was the mirror grinder, then he was the young general back then. How did he acquire these abilities as a mortal? Has he been alive, asleep, or experienced reincarnation all these years? Why did he lose all his memories?

Deng Yizhi obviously saw He Si's doubts, but he was not eager to know the answer. He just said: "We can't see the whole picture of the matter here. I think the mirror should know more than us."

"So what's the next plan, how are we going to deal with the mirror?"
