Dream Guide

The surface of the mirror is very soft, not like glass. It is a bit like water, elastic to the touch, with ripples rippling on it.

Su Huilan walked in front, and Qingmu followed her. When approaching the first mirror, Su Huilan's figure also appeared in the mirror.

The light was dim, but her delicate facial features and exquisite body curves were clearly reflected in the mirror. She looked at the mirror carefully for a while, with a smile on her face, as if she was appreciating a gorgeous beauty instead of looking at herself.

Suddenly, the expression on Su Huilan's face froze, and she looked shocked, as if she had seen something strange.

She turned back suddenly and looked at Aoki who was walking beside her as if she were a monster.

In the mirror, there is no Aoki.

On the mirror as clean and soft as water, there was only Su Huilan's slim figure and confused expression.

In fact, if the mirror could reflect Aoki at this time, he would definitely look more surprised than Su Huilan.

However, Su Huilan quickly calmed down and asked, "Are you a dreamless person?!"

Aoki said in surprise: "It's true that I can't dream, but what does it have to do with looking in the mirror?"

Su Huilan said: "The mirror here is not a real mirror, it is just a portal that guides people's consciousness to create space. Looking in the mirror in reality is the reflection of light. Looking in the mirror here is the self-knowledge of consciousness. You What you see is your subconscious's instinctive understanding of yourself. Therefore, you can think of it as a demon mirror. If you have a Buddha in your heart, what comes out is a Buddha. If you have a devil in your heart, what comes out is a devil."

"Then why can't I see myself?"

"I don't know. Dreamless people are very rare. They are usually caused by brain defects. Dreamless people don't really don't dream, but they don't have a clear understanding of themselves, or their subconscious cannot retrieve memories. But ...Your consciousness is obviously your own image... Moreover, your mental power is so strong, how could you..."

Su Huilan looked puzzled.

Aoki was also puzzled, but he was too lazy to think too much and said: "It doesn't matter so much, isn't this mirror here used as a mirror for looking at monsters?"

Su Huilan said: "Of course not. The demon mirror is just an auxiliary function, and it is not even a good experience for the game. However, this function comes from the self-awareness of consciousness and cannot be turned off. It is a side effect. The real function of the mirror is It is to guide consciousness to create your own space, which is equivalent to a passage to the player’s own world.”

Aoki asked: "How to guide?"

Su Huilan said: "Just walk in. Each mirror is equivalent to a door, and behind each door is a world. Of course, this world needs players to create it."

Aoki looked at the mirror that couldn't reflect himself. Sure enough, when there was no image of himself in it, it looked more like a door.

"If one door corresponds to one player, the number of mirrors here is far from enough, right?"

Su Huilan smiled and said: "No, in the quantum world, quantity is not an issue. In fact, there are countless mirrors here. Even if everyone in the world plays this game online at the same time, this hall can accommodate it."

Aoki took a few steps forward and came to another mirror. The mirror surface is gray, and the images of the hall and other mirrors can be seen inside, creating a kaleidoscope-like spectacle of mirrors within mirrors, but there is no image of Aoki himself.

He walked forward again, and all the mirrors he passed looked like this.

Originally, from a distance, there were not many mirrors in the hall, and the arrangement seemed to be very regular. But now, as soon as you walk in, there seem to be infinitely many mirrors, like entering a forest composed of mirrors.

As Aoki walked, he felt as if he no longer existed because there was no mirror that could reflect him.

When he turned back, he found that Su Huilan was behind him, and they were actually in front of the mirror they were facing at the beginning.

Only then did Aoki discover that all mirrors were created by his own consciousness. As he walked forward, mirrors would appear wherever his consciousness reached him, so he could never pass through this forest of mirrors. Once his consciousness stops, he will return to the original mirror.

"There's only one mirror, right?" he said.

"You can think so." Su Huilan smiled, "Actually, I'm very curious about how this game will guide you, a dreamless person like you, to create the world. If you don't know how to dream, what will happen after you enter?"

Aoki said: "You'll know when you go in and take a look."

Su Huilan asked: "You first or me first?"

Aoki said: "You go first. After all, I'm not familiar with it. You can show me how to do it."

Su Huilan nodded and said, "Okay."

She took a step forward, stepped one foot into the mirror, and the mirror surface rippled. Her body followed the footsteps and entered the mirror. You can see half of her body on the outside and half of her body on the inside. It was as if the people outside were going in and the people inside were coming out, but the two people bumped into each other.

Just when she was about to completely enter the mirror, leaving only the back of her head, Su Huilan suddenly turned around and smiled sweetly, and she in the mirror also turned back that way.

She said: "I'll go in first and see if you can find me later."

As soon as Qingmu was stunned, Su Huilan disappeared into the mirror, and the mirror surface returned to its soft and smooth appearance, as if nothing had happened.

He wasn't sure what Su Huilan's last words meant. Was it because the players' dreams were interconnected in this game, or was it because she knew that she could enter other people's dreams, so she asked him to find her in her dreams? ?

Aoki thought for a moment before trying to reach out his hand and gently touch the mirror with his fingers.

The tentacles of the mirror are extremely soft, like melted glass. His hand slowly reached into the mirror, and a circle of ripples appeared on the mirror, centering on his arm and spreading outward.

However, the strange thing is that when he stretched his hand in, a hand also stretched out in the mirror, which was perpendicular to his arm. It was as if his arm was reflected back by the mirror, and it was different from the rest of his arm. overlap together.

He changed the direction slightly, and his arm was no longer perpendicular to the mirror, but stretched out diagonally. The outstretched hand also stretched out diagonally from the other direction, forming an approximately sixty-foot-long circle with his stretched-out arm. The included angle is exactly the same as the specular reflection effect of light.

Aoki didn't know whether his hand that he put in was bounced back, or whether another invisible hand of his in the mirror stretched out. He looked at the hand stretched out from the mirror and tried to move his fingers. The fingers of that hand moved. He pulled his hand away again, and it disappeared behind the mirror.

Nothing like this happened when Su Huilan went in just now. Is it because he is a dreamless person and cannot enter the mirror? Or is it for some other reason?

Aoki hesitated, took a big step, and hit the mirror with his whole body.

He saw his body disappearing little by little in front of the mirror, and then saw himself walking out of the mirror little by little. Then, he completely returned to the world in front of the mirror, and looked back blankly at the world. His consciousness was completely reflected back in front of him, but nothing could be seen in the demon mirror.
