All living beings in hell

Chapter 164 - The Man in the Mirror

The lotus lantern at the entrance was lit up, and the office welcomed the 110th and eighth guest.

A burst of cold breath suddenly rose from the unknown place, and the sound of knocking on the door came from my left ear, as if the direction of my own space was instantly changed, and the seat and the wooden table were moved.I looked to the left, and the furnishings were the same as before.When I looked back again, all the furnishings in the room disappeared. In front of me was a table that looked exactly like me, and behind the table was a person who looked exactly like me.

"Hello?"

I asked tentatively, and the person in front of me also spoke, making a sound at the same time as me.Expression, posture, state, exactly the same.

I reached out to touch the edge of the table and encountered a smooth surface of cold metal.In front of me is not a guest, but a large mirror.

"Why don't you come with me?" I in the mirror suddenly spoke.

"who are you?"

"I am writing, I am you."

"The man in the mirror, although you look like me, you are definitely not me."

The person in the mirror slowly approached the mirror, as if looking at the situation here through a piece of transparent glass.

"How do you know that I'm not you?"

"Sit down, since you are here, you are my guest, I should follow the procedure."

The man in the mirror walked back to the wooden table and sat down, picked up a pen like me, and spread out the paper: "What should I call you?" He asked.

"You know my name, I don't know yours yet."

"I have already told you my name, my name is Zhibi."

"If you mess around again, I'll see you off."

"See off? Where are you sending me?"

I suddenly found that the appearance of this mirror was just at a clever image reflection angle, avoiding the appearance of all doors and windows, and even the skylight was only left with a small gap like a sewer railing.

"What are you here for today?"

"What is it for? This is what I want to ask you. What is the purpose of you coming to me today?"

Looking at the person in the mirror, I became a little impatient, but out of caution, I forcibly suppressed my anger.

"Tell me about the world in the mirror."

"Tell me about the world in the mirror, too."

"I don't live in the mirror, so how can I know what the world in the mirror looks like?"

"Perhaps you know, because you live in the mirror? You always thought I was the one in the mirror, your reflection. Isn't it possible that you are the one in the mirror, my reflection?"

"Then tell me, what did you see on me?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I were your reflection, look at me, what do you see?"

"I see myself."

"To be more specific, what kind of person are you?"

"An upright and honest little official, stubborn and sometimes overly aggressive. It seems that there is no weakness, but in fact most of the problems are terribly frightened when dealing with problems. For example, facing this situation now, you and I don't know how to break it. Bar?"

"A little bit, a little bit more."

The man in the mirror curled his lips: "What's the difference?"

"If you were me, you know, you missed the point."

"Continuously striving for lofty ideals, even if there are sacrifices, I feel that it is acceptable and reasonable."

"It's a little bit worse."

The person in the mirror was already a little annoyed: "Even if I am myself, I can't understand myself to such an extent!"

"If you can't tell, you're not me, you're just a ghost here to mess around."

"What else? What else?"

"Why do you want to know this so badly?"

"I can not be reconciled."

"Are you not reconciled to my poor imitation being seen through, or are you not reconciled to the failure of your plan?"

"What imitation? What plan?"

"Why do you want me to enter the world in the mirror?"

"This is exactly the same as your world, but everything is reversed."

"Oh, so you admit it, the world you are in is the world in the mirror, and what I am in is reality."

The person in the mirror froze for a moment and reacted for a while.

"Are you playing word games with me?"

"You haven't told me your name and the purpose of your coming here today. It's enough to play the trick. If you play too much, you will get tired of it, and the audience will get tired of it."

"Are you tired so quickly?"

"Especially this trick is not advanced, it's almost fine."

The man in the mirror muttered a few words and chanted a few spells.The mirrors around me shrank and attached to the person in the mirror, folding and covering my original appearance.The surface of the mirror figure is not completely attached, but connected together like countless prisms, and each surface reflects a piece of my face.

"The Guardian of the Mirror World, the High Priest of Zherislan, is me."

"Then let's start from the beginning. Why did you come to me today? This High Priest?"

"You sound impatient."

"If you go around in circles with me again, I will be even more impatient."

"Do you know what separates my world from yours?"

"Appreciate further details."

The mirror man pointed to his head: "Basic logic."

"how do I say this?"

"Because we look at the world from different angles, the logic formed is completely different."

"You mean, the world in the mirror is completely opposite to the world I exist in, so the thinking mode is also opposite?"

“It’s not so polarizing, but it’s still very different. For example, the mirror image of someone who is mainly logical can be completely emotional. Someone with a fiery temper can be docile, even submissive.”

"What you said made me think of an interesting hypothesis."

"Tell me."

"Is the moderate person still the same in the mirror world? Because there is no extreme, there is no other extreme to tilt. If you are always trying to maintain balance in the real world, then you should be doing the same in the mirror world." thing?"

The corner of the High Priest's mouth raised: "My lord's thinking is so jumpy."

"Maybe jumping in and out of the mirror, the thinking mode and personality traits are still very different."

"What you said is a state that is difficult and difficult to achieve. To achieve the golden mean is not the cultivation of traits, but the training of abilities."

"Please tell me in detail?"

"Balance to human nature is not just as simple as conforming to the forces of nature. There is a basic conflict between nature and human nature. To find a way to balance in this conflict is also the overall planning and coordination of human nature. "

"What is the fundamental conflict between nature and human nature?"

"The concept of survival. Nature doesn't care about birth and destruction. All living beings and spirits have their own laws in the period of survival. However, birth is a big event for human beings, and destruction is even more important. The difference in magnitude of existence has led to fundamental differences. Differences in needs, and differences in needs lead to differences in cognition. Do you understand what I said?"

"I probably understand."

"The existence of the mirror world is to balance human power to a certain extent."

"How to balance it?"

"See your own opposite in the mirror, so as to find your own balance in extremes."

"What does this balance mean?"

"I'm just the guardian of the mirror world, not the balancer of the two worlds. You ask me, how do I know?"

"Yes, yes."

"So, do you want to enter the world in the mirror?"

"why?"

"That way you can see your opposite and gain balance."

"no need."

"So unwilling to make progress?"

"It's not that I don't want to make progress."

"That is……?"

"I don't trust you."

"Oh, so straightforward and hurtful."

"Maybe it's not the time yet. I don't have the time to spend on exploring a new world. I just want to do my job well, and let's talk about the rest in the future."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"Maybe you can ask me in the mirror why I'm not in a hurry? Then everything will be clear."

"Learn it now and use it now."

"Then let's use what you have learned."

The man in the mirror took a small piece of lens from his body and put it on the wooden table: "If you want to enter the world of mirrors in the future, this is a door."

"How will this door be used?"

"Keep staring at it, look at yourself in the mirror, and let your spiritual consciousness naturally enter the world behind the mirror."

"Thank you, I see."

"This is a mirror that belongs to you, don't give it to others."

"What will happen to others?"

"Anyway, it's not very good."

I put the lens back into the hand of the high priest: "Then you take it back, I probably won't use it."

"Why? What are you running from?"

"It's not an escape. In the current state, I don't want to do anything more."

The high priest seemed a little disappointed: "Well, let's talk about it later when we have a chance."

"It's about the same time today."

The high priest got up and saw that I was silent.

"Do you think I missed a valuable opportunity?"

"Exactly."

"Precious opportunities are just wasted in the hands of those who don't need them, aren't they?"

The high priest looked at me and remained silent.

"Leave this opportunity to those who know how to cherish it. I wish you all the best in your future work."

"You too, my lord."

The high priest didn't insist anymore, he put the lens back on himself, turned and left the office.
