Weak in affinity talent? Female ghosts are eager to give hints.

The timeline rewinds to the moment I stepped out of the mirror!

"Buzz—"

From Jiang Lai's perspective.

As soon as Jiang Lai stepped out of the mirror, he was shocked!

green!

Looking around, everything is green!

Green light shone down from the dome, and he appeared in a place full of soil and roots. All around him were green tree trunks that would take several people to encircle, towering and densely covering the dome.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tree trunks, and Jiang Lai could smell the rich fragrance of flowers, but he couldn't see the top of the tree or the end of this patch of muddy land.

"W...D...Fa..."

"this..."

"Where the hell did this mess with me?"

"this..."

"Is this still a fairytale kingdom?"

Jiang Lai was completely dumbfounded!

No?

Did I just step out of the mirror?

Shouldn't I be in a vast, boundless sea of ​​flowers?

What's going on with this giant tree and the muddy ground?

besides...

What about An Lan?

"Hey! Anlan! Anlan!"

"You're here, aren't you!"

"You're there, right?!"

Jiang Lai called out a few times, but received no response from An Lan. After looking around uncertainly, he finally took a step and walked a little further away.

"I'm so angry..."

"Have we been transported to another fairy tale?"

"sieve--"

"Rustling sound—"

only!

After taking that step, Jiang Lai suddenly felt something moving coming from above!

"Varied--"

Before Jiang Lai could even utter the word "幺", he witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life!

Flowers!

Colorful flowers, with petals as large as an air-conditioning blanket, slowly fell from the sky, and on each petal... there was a person crawling on it!

These people had vacant eyes, and their limbs had a sickly purplish-black color under their skin.

"Ho—"

"Ho—"

"Ho—"

When these people floated closer, a familiar roar rang out, and Jiang Lai suddenly realized what was happening!

"Holy crap!"

"Fuck you!"

"They're all fakes?!"

"BYD! You guys are pretty trendy, aren't you? Flying down on flower petals?!"

Instinctively stepping back, Jiang Lai immediately took out his phone.

Without An Lan, and lacking combat power, and given the current situation where there's no room for maneuver or delay, using [Link to the Past] to return to the time when I was with An Lan in the [Mirror World] is the best option!

Can!

[Hello, past me! I am you ten minutes in the future. For some reason, I've found myself in a strange place! I've been separated from Anlan, which is very strange!]

Therefore... make sure you are fully prepared before going to the other side of the mirror next time!

The message was edited in less than half a minute!

But after selecting send—

The screen is displaying "No Signal"!

Holy crap!

"Holy crap!"

"Don't I still have two chances?"

"I--"

With a dark expression, Jiang Lai kept pressing the send button. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at his [Talent Panel].

[SS-Rank Talent: Connecting with the Past]

[Connect with the Past: You can use any mobile device to edit and send messages to your past self! You can edit and send three messages per day for each of your past selves within the last three days!]

If more than three days have passed and an attempt is made to contact a more distant version of oneself, this ability can only be activated once!

The [Talent] interface is displaying normally, but the icons are inexplicably grayed out!

This situation...

Jiang Lai had heard from people in the national team that it was "ineffective"!

"Damn it!"

"who!"

"Who the hell was hiding in the shadows, using [Nullify]?!"

"Come out here, you scoundrel!!!"

As he ran, Jiang Lai cursed loudly behind him.

Finished!

It's over! It's over!

Compared to An Lan, he's the most clueless one when it comes to [Nullification]!

"Rustling sound—"

High in the sky, more and more petals were falling. The first batch of petals that had drifted down earlier had already landed, and the [pseudo-human] crawling on the petals, its limbs digging in the soil, was charging towards Jiang Lai!

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

"Ha!"

The ferocious roars were getting closer and closer!

Jiang Lai was covered in sweat from running, constantly pressing his phone.

He kept glancing back at the path he'd run down, and suddenly remembered An Lan's earlier warning: "If you get nullified, immediately return to the Mirror World! Anyway, you can't be nullified there!"

"Back..."

"go back!"

"Yes! As long as we get back into the mirror... we'll be safe once we're back there!"

"I... am the person in the mirror!"

Looking up behind him, Jiang Lai was dumbfounded!

No!

There's no mirror!

Just in the distance...

In the distance, a massive, wooden-colored barrier stretched across a patch of thick, green timber. Above this barrier, even denser clusters of giant green trees completely blocked any escape route!

"Grass!"

"Damn it!"

"What the hell am I doing?!"

"call--"

"call--"

"call--"

My heart was pounding wildly from running so hard, and my chest felt like it was going to explode!

Jiang Lai's steps gradually... gradually slowed down!

A way out...

There's no way out!

Where is the way out?

"Holy crap!!!"

With a "plop," a [pseudo-human] accelerated and pushed off with its thigh, lunging forward and landing on Jiang Lai's back! This pounce caused Jiang Lai, who was still running, to stumble and roll several times in the mud!

"Woo!!!"

As his body rolled uncontrollably, Jiang Lai suddenly felt a tearing pain in his neck!

"ah!!!!!"

The pain, like bone spurs piercing his brain, made Jiang Lai scream! Only after he collapsed completely to the ground...did he feel the burning pain in his neck...

That is!

[The fake man] His layers upon layers of teeth bit open his own neck!

"Ho—"

"Ho—"

"Hmm..."

Numb screams echoed in his ears as Jiang Lai was ridden on the back of the "fake man," his hand still pressing his phone.

"Forehead--"

"Forehead!!!"

"Uh...why...why did I get separated from An Lan...what the hell is this place?!"

"Am I...am I going to die?"

"No—no!!!"

The loss of blood from his neck caused Jiang Lai's body temperature to drop rapidly.

His brain also became sluggish!

"Hehehe—hehehe—"

High in the sky, a strange laugh could be faintly heard. All around, the sounds of digging and shoving filled the air, as more and more [fake humans] approached!

died!

This time... I'm completely dead!

"Tick-tock..."

"Tick-tock..."

Bright red blood flowed into the soil, forming a pool of blood.

Perhaps it was the smell of blood that attracted something...

With a "pfft" sound!

A burst of black soil gushed out from beneath Jiang Lai's chest!

Jiang Lai felt a burning sensation in his chest, and then... he saw it—he saw a field mouse crawl out from under his chest, its head, bigger than himself, shoving against his chest and lifting him and the [pseudo-human] into the air!

"Ugh—Ah!!!"

The terrifying impact sent a churning through Jiang Lai's chest, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood!

His eyes were completely clouded!

Let your body soar high, watching the scenery rush past you, and then slowly fall after reaching a certain height...

"Field mice..."

"Before I died... I actually encountered such a huge field mouse..."

"Is this... still a fairytale world after all?"

"I--"

"I--"

Close your eyes, prepare to face the inevitable fall after your body has completely collapsed.

A series of images flashed through Jiang Lai's mind, jumping around like a slideshow.

【The Beast Prince】, 【Seven Skins】, 【Little Red Riding Hood】, 【The Skin Factory】, 【Rapunzel】, 【Thumbelina】...

and many more!

Thumbelina?!

suddenly...

He frowned!

Then, as if in a final burst of energy, he remembered something!

"wrong!"

"A giant field mouse?!"

"Giant flower petals?!"

"I...I've become like Thumbelina, haven't I?!"

"I...I've shrunk?!"

After looking around in astonishment, Jiang Lai stared at the field mouse on the ground, its head raised and mouth open, and burst into laughter!

"Hahaha--"

"Hahaha--"

"Fuck him! Fuck him!"

"I've figured it out! I've figured it out!"

"It's not that An Lan and I got separated! It's just... I shrunk! I shrunk to the size of an ant, so I can't see him anymore!"

"The mirror...that wooden strip, that's the mirror frame!!!"

"Pfft—"

As their bodies plummeted, Jiang Lai and the fake man both fell into the mouth of the field mouse!

"Woo-woo—"

With a "plop," the field mouse bit off Jiang Lai and the fake human's bodies with a "plop" sound as it opened and closed its mouth!

"Forehead!"

"Forehead!"

"Forehead!"

only!

The latter was bitten in half on the spot, its entire body falling into the mouth of the field mouse with a whimper! As for the former... Jiang Lai struggled violently, letting the field mouse swallow his lower body, while his upper body fell to the ground in front of the field mouse with a "plop"...

Then!

His gaze was resolute, his adrenaline surged, and without regard for anything else, his upper body crawled toward the wooden frame like a maggot!

He wants to live!

he...

We also have to defend [Xi Xiang]!

He can't die!!!

If we just go back into the mirror, everything... can still be reversed!!!
