Life Dungeon Game

His gaze turned toward the entrance, where he saw the shimmering sea, but the surface was calm and still, with no sound of waves crashing against the sand.

Everything around was eerily quiet.

The sky outside the window was still clear, but the sky and the clouds in it remained still, like a lifelike painting.

This is the 'mirror space' generated by the reflection.

He Ao held the coin in his hand, looked down at the 'flesh and blood material' he had prepared.

Like ice blocks left in the open air, the pile of flesh and blood materials in the very center of the stone house slowly 'melted'.

The flowing crimson liquid overflowed from beneath these fleshy materials, like a river flowing across the vast land, outlining crimson lines on the floor of the stone house.

Until it covered the entire stone house.

The flowing, bright red liquid slowly contracted and undulated, as if this tranquil space was breathing rhythmically.

To be precise, it is this space that is 'digesting' these flesh and blood materials.

At this moment, He Ao has already selected this mirror space as the 'fixed mirror space'.

To create such a fixed mirror space, a sufficient 'cost' is required first.

This is something we have to thank the masterminds behind all of this. If they hadn't sent that supernatural monster to attack He'ao, He'ao wouldn't have been able to find so many 'supernatural materials'.

These extraordinary materials will gradually be absorbed by this mirror space, transformed into the mirror space's own energy, and thus maintain the stability of this mirror space.

Now, even if He Ao leaves this mirror space, this space will not be immediately swallowed up.

Of course, this is just the beginning of 'fixing' the mirror space.

The mirror space where He Ao is currently located is not stable enough, nor is it sufficient to serve as the core connecting other temporary mirror spaces.

The entire fixation period will last for a little over a day, until the entire mirror space is completely fixed, at which point this mirror space will become the core of all the surrounding temporary mirror spaces.

The moment this new fixed mirror space is completed, the original 'fixed mirror space' will lose its core status and gradually dissipate.

The stone house that He Ao has chosen is located a little south of Vinland, Newland, more than 50 kilometers away from the original mirror space that West had fixed in the city center.

The reason for choosing this location is that the old and new fixed mirror spaces would be mutually exclusive.

If there is an existing fixed mirror space, the new fixed mirror space must be more than 50 kilometers away from the original fixed mirror space and cannot be within the scope of the original fixed mirror space, otherwise it cannot be successfully fixed.

As the flesh and blood material in the center of the stone house gradually dissolved and the entire mirror space began to solidify, He Ao also looked around at the remaining mirrors.

The images reflected in these mirrors are the true images of the main world.

Now, what He Ao needs to do is choose a mirror as the 'door'.

The temporary mirror space can only be used by the coin holder.

Unlike pulling people in and out, fixed mirror spaces can be connected to the main world.

The coin holder can choose a large mirror in the fixed mirror space as a 'door'. Once the 'door' is connected to the main world, anyone can enter and exit the fixed mirror space through this 'door'.

Of course, the right to open or close this door rests with the coin holder.

After glancing around, He Ao chose the mirror directly opposite the door as the 'door'.

Opening the 'door' is simple: just hold the coin and think about it. However, there are requirements regarding the location of the coin holder.

If the coin holder is in a temporary mirror space within 50 kilometers of the fixed mirror space, they can open the door with a single thought.

If the coin holder is not in the mirror space but in the main world, they must be in a place where they can see the 'door' through the 'door mirror' to open the door.

This has nothing to do with distance; as long as the peephole is directly 'visible' to the naked eye, it can be opened.

The concept of 'being visible' is rather idealistic. For example, if the mirror corresponding to a 'door' in the real world is destroyed.

Since the coin holder cannot see the 'door' in the real world, they cannot open it in the real world, and people in the real world cannot enter the fixed mirror space through the 'door'.

However, it is possible to open a 'door' through the fixed mirror space and walk out.

Of course, besides opening a door, the coin holder can also bring people into the fixed mirror space or take them out by flipping a coin, but it's not as convenient as opening a door.

Once a mirror that acts as a 'door' is determined, it cannot be modified. Therefore, if the door mirror in the main world is destroyed, the 'door' that fixes the mirror space is essentially half useless.

He stared at the mirror in front of him, which was identified as a 'door'.

Although the mirror space he is in is not yet fully fixed, the peephole is already usable.

He pondered for a moment, then, on a whim, activated the 'peephole'.

The moment he made his decision, the mirror in front of him trembled slightly, rippling like water for a moment, before returning to calm.

The 'opening' of this channel is not instantaneous; there is a delay of nearly two seconds.

You can do a lot in two seconds.

Perhaps this delay will be reduced once the mirror space is completely fixed, but He Ao still recorded this data.

Then he slowly reached out and touched the 'mirror' in front of him.

But his hand didn't touch any actual object; it simply passed through the mirror as if it were water.

Then he stepped directly into the 'mirror'.

The moss-covered, damp, and dilapidated stone house came into view almost instantly.

He turned around and glanced at the mirror behind him, which faced the stone house door.

He stepped into the mirror, but at the same time stepped out of it.

It has a somewhat disorienting sense of time and space.

He Ao stared at the peephole, reached out and touched the surface. With a ripple like water, his hand disappeared into the mirror.

Then he withdrew his hand, and with a thought, closed the passage.

The channel can be open for a maximum of fifteen minutes, after which it will automatically close.

When the passage is opened, it will consume a lot of energy, affecting the process of fixing the mirror space.

There was also a delay of nearly two seconds before the passage closed. After the passage was completely closed, He Ao reached out and touched the mirror. This time, his hand only touched a smooth surface.

Then he turned around again and looked at the center of the stone house.

At this moment, the center of the stone house that He Ao was facing was empty. There were no bright red patterns or melted flesh and blood materials. This was the real world, not the mirror space.

He gazed at the vast sky outside the door and the thick fog in the distance. He didn't leave immediately, but instead leaned against the wall to rest for a while.

The Mirror Coin is a transcendent item that only B-level beings can control. This clone is only C-level. The moment the coin flies up, the price paid for creating the mirror space is almost enough to hollow out this body.

Although He's soul descended and briefly activated his super memory, with the main soul sharing most of the cost, the clone still paid a portion of the cost.

Newland City-State Core Island

He Ao, regaining his senses, looked at the situation in front of him.

The corpses of monsters littered the ground beneath their feet. Fia, Kodo, and Chen Lin stood beside him, while behind them were several researchers from the research institute and Moonlight's superhumans who had followed them.

At this moment, the small door of a tool shed was open in front of them.

However, behind this door is not a tool shed, but a closed space.

The barely visible rock walls, the strange, blood-red moss covering them, and the writhing flesh along the edges of the walls—all these elements created a distorted and oppressive atmosphere that permeated almost every corner of the space.

This is a stable 'door' they have just found.

At this moment, Fiya had her eyes slightly closed and was placing her hand on the door frame, drawing everyone's attention to her fair palm.

The scene inside the door was like the surface of a pond where a stone had been thrown in, suddenly rippling slightly. Some strange power seemed to be circulating around. At the same time, He Aoneng could clearly feel that Fiya's complexion had worsened.

Immediately afterwards, as if breaking through some kind of boundary, the ripple-like scenery suddenly contracted, turning into a yellow point of light that lingered around Fia's fingertips.

The scene that was originally the tool shed was now in everyone's view.

"Success?"

He looked at Fiya.

"Um,"

Fia nodded gently. She raised her hand and looked at the yellow dot on her fingertip. "If we can find twenty stable 'doors' like this, we should be able to create a passage that can pass through at most level C."

"We traversed one-fifth of the core island in search of this door. If we maintain this ratio, we should be able to gather enough."

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Moreover, as the two worlds get closer, there will only be more and more stable 'gates'."

“But we need to speed things up,”

Fia nodded in agreement. She glanced at the point of light at her fingertips and then looked at He Ao. "The power of this 'door' is rapidly dissipating."

"Most of the monsters coming now are only F-rank,"

He Ao glanced at the others and said, "All personnel above level E, split up and act separately. Level F personnel will form groups of three, divide the five islands into sections, and explore all stable 'doors' as quickly as possible."

As Kodo watched Heo begin to speak from the crowd, he instinctively wanted to speak up as well.

At that very moment, he noticed He Ao's gaze fixed on him. "Kodo, I'll have Chen Lin give you a rough list of all the members of the research institute. You're most familiar with Newland City-State, so can you assign us districts?"

Kodo's words of opposition were suddenly swallowed back down. He looked at Heo's calm gaze and was speechless for a moment.

The relationship between Moonlight and the Research Institute is not good, especially after Liu Zhengyun killed Moonlight B-rank Sloan, who attacked him, during the Verola incident.

Although from a third-party perspective, Moonlight was in the wrong in that incident.

However, from Moonlight's perspective, the research institute was the villain who killed their pillar of support.

So even though they are now forced into the same predicament, Kodo subconsciously wants to support this young C-level from the research institute.

He could accept being led by Hao Yi, a semi-neutral B-level leader, but he couldn't accept being led by a C-level leader from a research institute, especially when that kid looked so young.

Although he had heard about the deeds of this young man who had shone brightly in the Navigator incident, after all, some people from Moonlight had also returned alive from the Navigator, he admired Heo in terms of his deeds alone, and knew that at this moment the other party was the most capable and powerful person to unite everyone.

However, from Moonlight's perspective, the more intelligent and powerful the other party appears, the more wary he should be.

He also knew that the research institute didn't like moonlight either.

He originally thought that no matter what, the 'kid' on the other side would have some feelings for Moonlight, and in practice, he might exclude him and Fiya.

But when the other party suddenly entrusted him with such an important task, he was completely stumped.

Isn't he worried that he might be setting a trap for the people at the research institute?
