Chapter 345

September 10, 2018, late night 22:49.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, why hasn't Ms. Miss Mei Lin come back yet." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe rolled up his sleeves, glanced at the time on his wristwatch, and asked Betang beside him: "Mr. Betang, do you have any way to contact her? She has been gone for so long, could something have happened?"

Betang shook his head and said: "She and we are already in different worlds. Now it is very troublesome to even determine each other's location, let alone make contact."

As soon as he finished speaking, Betang frowned and thought: "What's going on, why did I tell him this?"

This guy is just an ordinary mortal who happened to be involved in an eerie event and was pulled into the gambling game by the Gambler. Is it necessary for me to reveal such confidential information to a mortal?

Betang thought the more he felt something was wrong. But no matter how confused he was in his heart and how many doubts he found, he never doubted whether the mortal identity claimed by this person in front of him was true or false.

Jue Yuan does not allow him to have such doubts.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's expression changed, and he said in a dilemma: "Then what should we do now? Now that we don't know Ms. Miss Mei Lin's location and cannot contact her, can we only be trapped here with the Gambler?"

"Hmm..." Betang looked down at the wine glass in front of him, a look of hesitation appeared on his face, as if he was considering something.

There were 5 wine glasses on the table, belonging to Miss Mei Lin, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, the Gambler, Betang, and 'Fen Wu', who had been cleared of memory by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and turned into a walking corpse.

Among them, the bottoms of the wine glasses and the table in front of Miss Mei Lin, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and Fen Wu were all wet. The wine in front of them had all overflowed the cup mouth. All three of them had lost in the gambling, and they were all losers.

Only the desktop in front of Betang and the Gambler was still dry. They were the last two players in this game. Before the winner was determined, the gambling game would not end, and no one could leave.

Betang turned his head and glanced at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and stopped his gaze on his common face with some thought.

"For the loser personally, this game is actually over. The loser has actually gained freedom, but is still bound by the principle of fairness of the gambling game. Before the last winner is determined, other players cannot leave the casino even if they are free."

"And the restrictions on players still in the game are even more stringent. Now I am not only not allowed to leave the gambling table, but even sitting here requires caution in everything. Once I make some ambiguous movements, I may be judged as cheating and lose directly..."

After sorting out the current situation, the look of trouble in Betang's eyes deepened.

Looking at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's common face, he finally made a certain determination: "Although I don't know how this mortal survived after becoming a loser, now I can only rely on him."

"Can you do me a favor?" Betang said.

"What do you need me to do?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe immediately replied: "You and Ms. Miss Mei Lin are both my life-saving benefactors. If you have any instructions, please feel free to say them, and I will do my best."

"That couldn't be better." Betang nodded and said: "I am trapped in this game, but you have already gotten out of it and have a certain degree of freedom. Therefore, I need you to leave the casino and find Miss Mei Lin."

"Ah?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe showed a look of confusion: "But didn't you just say that there is no way to determine Ms. Miss Mei Lin's location? And I have no way to leave the casino..."

"Listen to me first." Betang interrupted: "Since I said so, I naturally have the certainty of success."

"Okay, you say." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded. Betang nodded and continued: "Before you were pulled into the gambling game, you should have explored the opera house, right? Have you had such an experience?

——Other people who were visible and touchable just now often disappeared suddenly after turning a corner or opening a door, leaving only you in the empty corridor."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded: "Yes, there were several companions looking for the exit of the opera house with me, but during the exploration, they disappeared one by one. I couldn't find any traces of their existence, as if they had gone to another world."

"Not as if, they did." Betang said: "They just went to another world."

"What does this mean?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe cooperated very well and showed a blank expression, with surprise in his wide eyes.

"This world is layered." Betang said, took out a mobile phone from his bosom, and reached out to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe: "Give me your mobile phone."

"Okay." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe obediently followed: "What does world layering mean?"

"Look." Betang held a mobile phone in each of his left and right hands and placed them face to face on the table. Immediately, the screens of both mobile phones reflected each other's shadows: "What do you see?"

"Uh... the black screen mobile phone is like a mirror, reflecting the appearance of the other mobile phone opposite." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said truthfully.

"Now look at the mobile phone in the screen again, what do you see in its screen?" Betang asked again.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was slightly startled, then understood: "The reflection of the mobile phone in the screen is itself a screen that can reflect light. There are reflections in the reflections!"

"Correct."

Betang snapped his fingers, returned the mobile phone to Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and said:

"The reflectivity of the mobile phone screen is not high, so it's just a demonstration. If two ordinary mirrors are placed face to face like this, light is constantly refracted between the mirror surfaces, and new reflections are constantly reflected in the reflections. Such infinite nesting, the infinite-level mirror world generated at the speed of light, is the physical phenomenon named 'Tongguang Mirror'."

"This is an eerie rule named 'Xi Zhao'. Now the Saint Golia Opera House is under its shroud. Whenever someone passes through the area between the two mirrors, their existence will be captured by 'Xi Zhao' and fall into this infinite-level mirror world."

"Where we are now is one of the layers of the infinite-level mirror world, the seal prison used by the Golden Clan to imprison the 'Gambler'."

Betang put his mobile phone in his pocket and continued:

"The ghosts imprisoned in the Xi Zhao domain are not just the Gambler. After all, the levels of the mirror world are 'infinite'. Each layer of the world can imprison a fierce ghost. Theoretically, it is completely possible to imprison all the ghosts in the world, but theory is theory after all."

"How many ghosts have been imprisoned in the 'Xi Zhao' seal prison over the years, only the Golden Clan knows."

As soon as he finished speaking, Betang turned his head sharply, staring at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's common face under his pitch-black hair. Along with the faint smile on Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's face, an emotion called horror appeared, crawling all over Betang's face inch by inch:

"Why... did I say these things?"
