C188 There is no way out

Ox-Head's voice suddenly changed and actually became the voice of the Mr. Zhao. In this instant, I suddenly thought, could it be that the Mr. Zhao is deceiving me by disguising himself as Ox-Head?

In a panic, I tried to retrieve my dagger, but it was too late. When I stabbed out with all my might, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to kill Ox-Head, so I didn't hold back at all. Now that I want to retract the dagger, how could it be easy?

I tried my best, but things went against my wishes. I watched helplessly as the dagger got closer and closer to Ox-Head's chest.

Ox-Head let out a blood-curdling scream. This voice was clearly from the Mr. Zhao. This time I heard it clearly.

Horse-Face ran over in panic. He held Ox-Head and called out, "Zhao, are you alright?" This voice belonged to Xia Xin.

I am completely sure now that the two of them are Xia Xin and Mr. Zhao.

The horse wiped her face, and I saw that she had become Xia Xin. The Ox-head fellow had also ripped off a layer of skin on his face, revealing the Mr. Zhao underneath.

Mr. Zhao's face was pale, his lips trembling slightly. He let out a hoarse voice from his throat: "Unexpectedly, I, Zhao, am a hero for life. What great storm or great wave? However, he capsized and died under the blade of his Eldest Nephew. "I hate you so much, I'm great …"

Xia Xin suddenly pushed him to the ground, "Still pretending?"

Mr. Zhao laid on the ground and asked innocently: "How did you know?"

Xia Xin pointed at his chest and said, "It's already exposed."

The knife I used just now had pierced through Mr. Zhao's chest and ripped his clothes apart, revealing the contents underneath.

Inside the clothes was not flesh, but a wooden board. I didn't hurt him at all.

Mr. Zhao laughed dryly and got up from the ground. He said seriously: "I was faking the pain in my body just now, but the pain in my heart is real."

I was a little displeased. "Second Uncle, are you playing with me?"

The Mr. Zhao said, "You think we are playing with you? We are here to verify your identity. At that time, you were knocked unconscious and the alisma fructus in your body had disappeared. Who knows if you fused with the alisma fructus or the alisma fructus fused with you? Of course we'll test you. "

When I heard Mr. Zhao say this, I immediately understood.

I faintly asked, "Have you finished the test?"

Mr. Zhao held onto my shoulders and hugged my shoulders. "I understand, I'm so clear about it."

I turned my head to look at Xia Xin. Xia Xin turned her head away with a guilty conscience. However, after a few seconds, she stubbornly turned her head back and looked at me provocatively.

I saw her trying to look nonchalant, but her face grew redder and redder. I stared at her lips and couldn't help laughing.

Xia Xin spat on the ground, "Rascal."

Mr. Zhao watched from the side with a baffled expression: "Eldest Nephew, what did you do to her again?"

I said, "I didn't do anything to her. What did she do to me?"

Xia Xin flipped her palm and a small knife appeared in her hand. She asked me, "Do you still want to be hit?"

I shrunk my neck back and said to Mr. Zhao: "Let's hurry up and go. I have been through enough of this damn place."

Mr. Zhao was puzzled all along the way. He looked at me one moment, then at Xia Xin, then started to sigh emotionally. He really couldn't understand the hearts of youngsters these days.

The three of us walked for a long time without seeing the end of the Road to River Styx.

I felt a little uneasy. I said to Mr. Zhao, "Why do I feel that something is wrong? We didn't walk that long last time, did we? "

Mr. Zhao said, "Absolutely not."

Then he pointed to a dead body by the side of the road and said, "Did you see the dead man?"

I looked over my shoulder. It was a strange dead man. The flesh on his body could still be considered intact, but there was only a skull left on his head. I could see the roots of the flower coming in through his orifices.

Mr. Zhao said, "This is the seventh time I've seen this dead man."

I was shocked and shouted, "Wall-Hitting Ghost?"

The Mr. Zhao shook his head, "We are now souls. Setting up a ghost wall for the soul was extremely difficult. Furthermore, Xia Xin and I know ghosts and gods. It is even more difficult to deceive us. Although the Zhai Fu knows some evil arts, I believe that he isn't that skilled. "

I cautiously asked, "Are you sure he isn't that capable?"

Mr. Zhao said, "I'm sure. If he has the ability, he can just bring us in. Why would he try to trick us?"

I nodded. "That's true." But what if it wasn't Zhai Fu? What about the others? "

The Mr. Zhao said, "This possibility is not high either. If the other person is very capable, I can feel it. "

I scratched my head, unsure of what to do. I turned to Xia Xin. "Do you have any good ideas?"

Xia Xin avoided my gaze and lightly coughed. "I think we can avoid following the Road to River Styx. Maybe it's the wrong way. "

Mr. Zhao laughed bitterly: "Only the Road to River Styx to the exit, if we don't follow it, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out even after ten thousand years."

Xia Xin spread out her hands, indicating that she had no other choice.

I thought about it and said, "Did this change? A fork in the road appeared in the middle, and we did not realize that the road had turned back into a closed circle. We started circling around the circle. "

Mr. Zhao said, "It's not impossible, but after walking for so long, why haven't we discovered him yet?"

He sighed and said, "Let's go once more. This time, we have to be more careful and find out what's wrong with this path."

Mr. Zhao was at the front, I was in the middle, and Xia Xin was at the back. The three of us walked slowly along the flagstone road, slowly, looking around as we walked.

This place was actually a strange painting. I don't know who painted it, but it must be an expert, because the soul can be hidden inside the painting.

Since it was a painting, could the Road to River Styx in the painting be changed? I suspect that the Zhai Fu has escaped. Using a pen to add some content to the wall, he made this road into a circle without end.

I had the feeling it was possible, but after watching for a while, I felt something was wrong. This Road to River Styx is clearly straight ahead, we also did not turn around, but why always inexplicably back to the original point? If it's really round, I should at least see the arc.

After we walked a few more steps, the Mr. Zhao said, "Stop."

I asked in surprise, "Did you find a problem?"

Mr. Zhao replied, "No." Then he pointed to the side of the road. "Look at the body."

I saw the body again, and we were back where we started.

Xia Xin said quietly, "I looked very carefully on the way here. There is nothing wrong with this road, and the flagstones have not been moved. "

Mr. Zhao muttered: "This is really strange."

I gently kicked the stone with my foot as my mind raced with thoughts. How could one not reach the end of the road?

Maybe it wasn't that we couldn't get to the end, but that we were forced to change directions halfway down the road. The problem was, how did the other party do it?

"Change directions?" The thought was like a flame that lit up my mind in an instant.

I jumped up and said to Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin, "What is it that can allow us to change directions in an instant, and that we can't detect it?"

Mr. Zhao blankly asked, "What is it?"

I said, "Mirror."

Xia Xin looked at me with a puzzled expression.

I gestured and said, "If someone had put a mirror in the middle of the road. And this mirror is special, it lets us in. That way, when we get to the mirror, will we be able to reach the world in the mirror unconsciously? "

"The mirror is a reflection of the outside world, so we have walked the same path again. Mr. Zhao, did you notice? The last time the face was turned to the right, this time to the left. Because the things in the mirror are the opposite. "

The Mr. Zhao said, "Is there a mirror here? When was it put up? "

I said, "There's no need to put it on. What if Zhai Fu painted it on a mural?"

Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin looked at each other, nodded, and said, "That is a possibility. However, I'm afraid we won't be able to find this mirror. This place is very strange and we can't feel it. "

I smiled. "Actually, it's very easy to find it. When we walk, we should look at the stone slab beneath our feet." If the two slates look the same, then the mirror is between them. "

Mr. Zhao nodded in deep agreement.

The stone slabs of the Road to River Styx had been worn out due to the passing of countless souls. None of these wear and tear is the same, so it would be most appropriate as a reference.

After we left for a while, the Mr. Zhao called out, "Here it is."

I walked over and there were two identical slabs.

Mr. Zhao stretched out his hand to touch it, but didn't manage to touch anything.

He said to me: "Eldest Nephew, if there really is a mirror here, when we go around it, we should be able to see the road behind us right?"

I agreed and was about to follow Mr. Zhao around, but suddenly, an idea came to my mind and I withdrew my leg. I said to Mr. Zhao, "No, no, we must not go."

Mr. Zhao looked at me, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

I said, "If there was only one mirror, why did we see the body seven times? He should have seen it only once. This meant that there was more than one mirror. We repeated the same scene over and over again, showing that there was still a mirror in the mirror. We continued to enter the new mirror and continued to return. We had already reached who knows how many levels. Second Uncle, how many times have we seen that corpse? "

Mr. Zhao replied, "Eight times."

I counted and said, "Then we should be in the seventh mirror. Let's break this mirror and find the other side. "Let's get out of here for now."

Mr. Zhao stared at the stone slab on the ground and fell silent for a while before saying: "Luckily we discovered it early, otherwise, who knows how many times we would have to turn back in the mirror. If we were to get lost, I'm afraid we would never be able to return to the human world."

I said, "Yeah. Second uncle, quickly break the mirror. If we were to break this mirror, we won't need to go to the countless worlds within it. "

Mr. Zhao laughed bitterly and said, "I also want to break it, but I don't."
