Chapter 135 Mirror World
Reports show that this mirror world was created by a mysterious ancient magic circle to study and test human adaptability and wisdom. To leave this world, one must find the control center of the magic circle and pass a series of tests to activate the portal back to the real world.

Jiang Che and others put together the information they had collected, and after analysis, decided to go to the control center of the magic circle to find a way to return to the real world.

Following the clues provided in the report, they came to an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. In the deepest part of the factory, they found a hidden basement, which was the control center of the magic circle.

However, when they entered the control center, they found an unexpected person - the mysterious man they met in the forest before.

"You are finally here." The mysterious man said with a smile, "I have been waiting for you."

"Who are you? Why did you bring us here?" Jiang Che asked vigilantly.

"I am the creator of this mirror world." The mysterious man said slowly, "I brought you here to give you a test. Only by passing this test can you truly understand yourself and this world."

Jiang Che and others looked at each other and expressed their willingness to accept this test.

They knew this was their only chance to return to the real world.

Then, the mysterious man started to activate the magic circle and teleported them to a completely new scene.

Jiang Che and the others' eyes blurred, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already in a huge maze. This maze was completely different from ordinary mazes, and its walls were all mirrors, reflecting countless figures, making people dazzled.

"Is this... a mirror maze?" Ellie said in surprise, her voice echoing between the mirrors, creating a strange resonance.

"It seems that our test this time is to get out of this maze." Jiang Che looked around and frowned. He knew that this maze must be very complicated and these mirrors might hide some mystery.

Everyone moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. The reflections in the mirror did not seem to be simple reflections. Sometimes they would suddenly change their positions and even emit psychedelic light, trying to confuse them.

"Everyone be careful, there's something strange about these mirrors." Lin Xiaoxiao reminded. She held the sword tightly in her hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

They wandered around in circles in the maze, always seeming to go in circles, and every time they thought they had found the exit, they discovered that it was just an illusion caused by a mirror.

"This maze seems to be constantly changing." Tang Ke scratched his head and said helplessly, "What should we do?"

Jiang Che stopped and looked carefully at the mirrors around him. He found that every time they passed a certain mirror, the structure of the maze would change. This seemed to be the key to getting out of the maze.

"We need to find a pattern." Jiang Che said in a deep voice, "There must be some kind of connection between these mirrors. Only by finding this connection can we get out of this maze."

Jiang Che and others continued to observe and analyze the mirror maze in depth. They noticed that the angles, positions and reflected light between the mirrors could all be clues to solving the mystery of the maze.

"We can try to mark our location and the state of the surrounding mirrors every time the maze changes." Lin Xiaoxiao suggested. Jiang Che nodded in agreement: "Good idea, this way we can compare the data and find the pattern."

So they began to carefully mark every turning point and the state of the mirror. Whenever the maze changed, they recorded the mirror's position, angle, and reflected light before and after the change. Although this work is tedious, it is their only clue at present.

As the data accumulated, they began to discover patterns: The movements of certain mirrors seemed to be related to the positions of other specific mirrors, and the reflections of light followed certain patterns.

"These mirrors seem to form a complex linkage system." Jiang Che analyzed, "Our movement may have triggered certain mechanisms in this system, causing the maze structure to change."

Tang Ke suddenly had an idea: "Can we actively change the structure of the maze by controlling the angle and position of the mirror?"

"It's worth a try." Ellie said, "We have been passively adapting to the changes in the maze before, but now we can try to actively influence it."

So, they began to consciously adjust their movement paths based on the data they had collected previously, and tried to change the angles of some mirrors. At first, their attempts did not achieve obvious results, but as their understanding of the rules deepened, they were gradually able to predict and control the changes in the maze.

However, just when they thought they were about to get out of the maze, a new danger appeared. Some of the mirrors in the maze suddenly began to emit strong light, which was not only dazzling but also very confusing, making it impossible to tell the direction.

"Everyone be careful, these lights may be the last test of the maze." Jiang Che reminded loudly, "Don't look directly at these lights, try to judge the direction by sensing the surrounding environment."

Under the strong light, Jiang Che and the others seemed to be in a strange world. They tried to close their eyes and only rely on touch and hearing to perceive the surrounding environment. However, even so, they still felt it was difficult to move forward.

"We have to find a way to solve this light maze." Ellie said loudly, her voice echoing in the light with a hint of anxiety.

"Yes, we need to find a way to resist or weaken these lights." Lin Xiaoxiao added. She waved the sword in her hand, trying to cut off the light, but the light seemed to have life. It healed quickly and shone on them again.

Jiang Che pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him: "These lights are produced by the reflection of the mirror. If we can find the light source and destroy it, perhaps we can solve this maze."

"But how do we find the light source?" Tang Ke asked doubtfully. His eyes were so painful from the bright light that he could hardly open them.

"Follow me, I have a way." Jiang Che relied on his keen perception to lead everyone through the maze. They bypassed a series of winding passages and finally arrived at a spacious hall.

In the center of the hall, a huge crystal ball emits a dazzling light, illuminating the entire hall. This crystal ball is the source of the light.

"That's it!" Jiang Che pointed at the crystal ball and said, "We must destroy it to solve this maze."

However, the crystal ball is surrounded by densely packed mirrors, which reflect the light of the crystal ball everywhere, making it impossible to approach.
