Chapter 1030

"Be careful of Zhou Mingrui!"

An Xiaotian's voice echoed in the ward, covering the alarm sound of the monitoring equipment.

This... just as Anthony couldn't hide his astonishment and surprise, thunder rumbled outside.

The sky of the entire dream city suddenly became gray, and the brilliant sunlight seemed to be blocked outside by the clouds.

Within Anthony's vision, An Xiaotian's figure suddenly became blurry, sometimes expanding, sometimes shrinking, just like a confused dream.

The next second, Anthony and Ludwig felt the dream's intense rejection and felt their own rapid transformation into marionettes.

…………

Inside Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station.

Luo Shan nimbly caught up with Zhou Mingrui and Zhou Shasha, ahead of them turning into the road leading to the parking lot.

"Zhou Mingrui!" Luo Shan shouted.

Zhou Mingrui, who had already put the silver-white pocket watch into his pants pocket, turned around and looked at the rapidly approaching Luo Shan with a puzzled face:

"Why did you come here?"

Weren't you still working at the company, slacking off and chatting with me earlier?

Zhou Shasha looked at Luo Shan, then at her brother, and smartly closed her mouth, saying nothing.

Luo Shan stopped at a position where she could reach Zhou Mingrui and said in a hurried voice:

"There is an important matter to tell you."

What could be so important that it couldn't be said on WeChat or over the phone, and had to be told in person at the scene? Zhou Mingrui remembered Luo Shan's previous warnings and looked at this colleague suspiciously, waiting for her to continue.

Luo Shan had already decided that her strategy for today was "sincerity" while running over, and she said with a serious expression:

"There is an item you cannot touch right now; I will help you keep it."

Taking advantage of Zhou Mingrui's puzzled thinking, she suddenly reached out her palm with the extreme speed of a "Reporter."

Zhou Mingrui failed to dodge and had that silver-white pocket watch with vine and leaf patterns "forcibly snatched" from his pants pocket by Luo Shan.

"It's this!" Luo Shan explained quickly.

Zhou Mingrui, who subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, froze his actions, looked at the pocket watch, and muttered to himself in disbelief:

"It?"

What could be wrong with it?

Such a change left the bystander Zhou Shasha in a state of confusion and bewilderment, and she blurted out:

"Brother, what's going on?"

What are you talking about?

Aren't you two flirting as a couple?

Zhou Mingrui didn't answer Zhou Shasha's question, his gaze focused on Luo Shan.

Luo Shan couldn't care about hiding it, and couldn't think of how to hint, so she directly held up the silver-white pocket watch:

"It will bring you danger!

"Think carefully, is it a bit different from before?"

Although Luo Shan didn't know what went wrong with the pocket watch in her hand, from the conversation between Jianna and Li Ming, she knew the pocket watch had become involved with some special mirror world fragment.

In other words, the pocket watch was different from before—if the abnormality had existed in the past, Zhou Mingrui would have had problems long ago!

Zhou Mingrui fell into memory, slightly frowning:

Indeed, the glass cover of the pocket watch seems to have been replaced...

Normally, who would use black glass for a watch cover, even if it's transparent...

Zhou Shasha on the side muttered:

"I've already repaired it, so it must be a bit different from before."

Zhou Mingrui thought for a few seconds and said to Luo Shan with caution as the priority:

"Okay, you help me keep it for a few days."

Although this pocket watch had important commemorative significance for him, no item was more important than actual safety. Even if it were lost because of this, he would only feel heartache and regret, not remorse.

How reasonable, just like usual... and, I haven't had any problems yet! Luo Shan sighed with both gratification and relief.

She quickly gave Zhou Mingrui a wink:

"I'm leaving first."

After getting Zhou Mingrui's permission, she turned her body and walked toward the location of Jianna and Li Ming.

She suppressed the explosive joy in her heart, not showing it for the time being:

I succeeded!

I did it!

I risked my life to complete an important task!

Luo Shan, whose footsteps were becoming lighter, suddenly felt her body become light and airy.

Her throat began to tighten, as if it were being looped by a rope.

Her breathing quickly entered a difficult state, and her knees and arms felt as if they had been filled with viscous glue.

"Still, there's a problem...

"Am I going to be strangled to death like this, quietly, in public?"

In this state, Luo Shan heard the rumbling thunder.

She discovered that the surroundings had become quite dim and extremely oppressive, and the passing pedestrians all presented a blurry and distorted state.

"This... really is a dream..." Luo Shan suddenly had this realization, a realization filled with sorrow and sighing.

At this moment, she saw Jianna.

Jianna was still clear.

Immediately after, Luo Shan saw the anxious and worried expression on Jianna's face clearly.

She felt again that her life was still real and still meaningful.

She struggled to flash a smile at Jianna again.

Her body also gradually became blurry, just like those background characters seen in a confused dream.

Rumble!

Amidst the thunder, Zhou Mingrui also noticed the blurriness and distortion of the people around him, and noticed the dimness and illusion of the entire high-speed railway station.

The only light came from behind him and Zhou Shasha, from the passage leading to the parking lot.

Clear radiance gathered there, as if forming a huge door.

Zhou Mingrui instinctively grabbed Zhou Shasha's forearm, no longer caring about the suitcase, and ran wildly toward that light door.

After running a few steps, he felt Zhou Shasha stop and become heavy, making him unable to drag her forward anymore.

Was Shasha also affected by the abnormality? Zhou Mingrui turned his head with concern and looked at his sister.

In his eyes, Zhou Shasha had become transparent and thin, like a mirror and the reflection in the mirror.

Zhou Shasha's black dress and the "mirror" were half-merged, making the surface appear dark.

Zhou Mingrui saw himself in the dark mirror:

Shorter black hair, dark brown eyes, non-prescription glasses, soft contours, and a slightly handsome feeling...

As Zhou Mingrui saw the reflection in the mirror clearly, the "he" in the mirror suddenly curled his lips, revealing a weird and creepy smile.

The Zhou Mingrui in the mirror began to overlap with Zhou Shasha, who had regressed into a simple female image.

This... Zhou Mingrui instinctively took two steps back.

Just then, he heard the "bang" of a gunshot.

A bullet stained with a dull greenish-blue color shot out from nowhere and hit the mirror that Zhou Shasha had turned into, hitting the figure of Zhou Mingrui reflected in the mirror.

"Inevitable Death"!

Forsythe had lent the "Gun of Inevitability" to Jianna.

Crack!

That mirror shattered rapidly and fell to the ground like a rainstorm.

All its fragments lost their luster and no longer reflected anything.

Zhou Mingrui subconsciously turned to the side and saw Jianna, who was holding a brass-colored revolver, had a beautiful appearance, and was not blurry or distorted at all.

He didn't recognize this beautiful lady.

Jianna nodded slightly to Zhou Mingrui, trying her best to show her goodwill.

When Zhou Mingrui witnessed himself in the mirror revealing a creepy smile, he had already judged that this was an adversary, someone who held malice toward him.

From this, he had a series of thoughts:

"They used Shasha!

"Must find out how the real Shasha is doing now!"

Based on this judgment, Zhou Mingrui held no malice toward Jianna, who had shattered the mirror and the "him" in the mirror, believing she was sent by the friendly side to stop this matter.

Seeing Zhou Mingrui return a friendly nod, Jianna hadn't had time to feel joy, nor had she gone to think about how to save Luo Shan, when she suddenly felt the dream rejecting her intensely, felt her thoughts stutter, and felt pain from two directions strike simultaneously.

She was being kicked out of the dream; she was being rapidly turned into a marionette.

Zhou Mingrui was just about to ask the lady opposite what to do next when he discovered that her face was twisting, appearing quite painful.

Was she attacked? An invisible attack? Zhou Mingrui hurriedly looked around, searching for possible enemies.

He then saw that every pillar and every screen in the high-speed railway station had become illusory, either stretching or widening, becoming dark mirrors.

These mirrors all reflected Zhou Mingrui's figure looking around, but the Zhou Mingrui in every mirror wore a cold and creepy smile without exception.

"They" suddenly stopped, looked at Jianna in unison, and laughed with overlapping voices:

"Too late!

"Zhou Shasha is the medium, the medium pointing to that mirror world!"

Jianna, who was resisting the dream's rejection force and rapid marionette transformation, had her gaze freeze.

Too late?

The Zhou Mingrui in the mirror had already been born?

The Celestial Worthy was about to use this?

On one side of the mirror-world-turned high-speed railway station, Lu Mian, who had not officially appeared, took out the Magic Mirror Arrodes unhurriedly.

He said in a low voice:

"Second question."

On the surface of the magic mirror, pale words appeared rapidly:

"Ask quickly!"

Arrodes didn't repeat its rules again, because this was the second question, not the first.

Lu Mian curled his lips slightly and said:

"Are you a weapon, or a medium?"

On the dark mirror surface floating with water light, the pale words squirmed and changed, forming new content:

"Medium!"

Immediately after, the Magic Mirror Arrodes asked its own question:

"How do you want to use me?"

"Definitely not as a brick to smash out." Lu Mian laughed.

…………

Sifang Street, Jinxiu Dongfang Residential Area, Mute Studio.

Anderson Hood sat in front of the easel, yawning boredly.

At this time, he heard the rumbling thunder, felt the light dim, and the environment became extremely oppressive.

Anderson stood up, walked to the window, and discovered that the pedestrians below were all blurry.

He smiled and looked at the sky:

"My mission will be completed soon."

While speaking, he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers with a pop.

Rumble!

A violent explosion occurred deep within this building, and flames rose everywhere.

In an instant, the "hotel" that had just finished renovation and was not yet occupied was swallowed by raging crimson flames.
