Chapter 221: You Saw It, Right

A huge mirror silently appeared in front of him, making Lin Yao’s heart skip a beat. Just as he felt shocked, the strange and mysterious figure in the mirror, who was staring at him, suddenly opened his mouth.

“You saw it, right!”

This remark made Lin Yao’s heart sink again. Of course, he had. After understanding the relationship between light and electromagnetic waves, the 3D layers mapped in Lin Yao’s mind were already like his eyes. action

No, they were better than his eyes. At the very least, his eyes wouldn’t be able to observe the surroundings with a 360-degree view without moving, let alone see through the walls of the room. Nevertheless, these 3D maps that had received electromagnetic waves could achieve this.

After the strange and mysterious figure in the mirror shouted at him coldly, Lin Yao knew he had been discovered and this had triggered the rules of the freak. ‘The upcoming battle is unavoidable…’

“You saw it, right!”

Before Lin Yao could finish voicing his thoughts inwardly, the strange and mysterious figure in the mirror in front of him spoke again.

It repeated the exact same words. When Lin Yao first heard these words, he felt very stunned.

However, the figure didn’t attack after speaking. Instead, it asked Lin Yao the same question. This was rather ludicrous.

The corners of Lin Yao’s mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to sneer coldly, but at the last moment, his brain, which had been strengthened by the Bodhi Tree, suddenly had a Light-Bulb Moment, making him realize that something was amiss.

‘No, it is waiting for my reply!’

The first talent the Bodhi Tree had given Lin Yao was Agile Mind. At that moment, this talent made Lin Yao realize that something was wrong with the current situation.

Upon discovering this, Lin Yao’s brain became more active. There was also a Lightning Flash on his glabella. He turned on his brain domain limiter and unlocked thinking speed acceleration.

His fast-thinking brain enabled him to piece the puzzle together within a very short time.

‘Clue 1: The evil spirits have strange and mysterious abilities, but our world is not a completely broken world. It has its own rules of operation. When outsiders such as evil spirits enter our world, they will be restricted. It is only when certain conditions are met that the freaks can take action. These conditions can be a response to others, a certain degree of fear in the heart, being alone, or not reaching a certain body height… Various reasons will trigger the conditions for the freaks to kill humans. However, certain conditions need to be met before a freak can kill a human.

‘Clue 2: After killing a large number of humans, the freaks will be able to lift some of the restrictions. This applies to the balloon-shooting vendor I encountered last time. It can kill humans even without the trigger of any conditions. However, its restrictions have not been completely lifted. The balloon-shooting vendor has the ability to kill humans with one shot. However, if no one triggers the condition, it can only shoot thrice a day. Therefore, powerful freaks are also restricted. Even though they can attack humans, they cannot unleash their full powers.’

Having three chances of attacking a day was completely different from having indefinite chances to attack (so long as one couldn’t kill the enemy).

To a warlord, it was the difference between making a narrow escape and getting killed for sure.

Lin Yao was stronger than ordinary warlords, but this mirror freak was also stronger than the balloon-shooting vendor. Finding the conditions that would activate the trigger would certainly benefit Lin Yao.

‘In conclusion, although this mirror freak is strange and mysterious, it is also restricted by the world. As long as I don’t trigger the conditions, it can’t attack me brazenly no matter how powerful it is.’

After reaching his first conclusion, Lin Yao very quickly delved into another round of thinking.

‘When I first saw the mirror, was I teleported because I met the conditions? Or did it use the authority to strike brazenly?’

Thanks to his quick-thinking mind, Lin Yao kept recalling the series of events from his first encounter with the mirror leading up to the current circumstances.

(“You saw it, right!”) (“You saw it, right!”) (“You saw it, right!”)

As he was recalling this, the first talent of the Bodhi Tree was extremely striking. Photogenic Memory enabled Lin Yao to remember everything he had seen, and Agile Mind allowed him to discover some of the commonalities quickly.

‘This mirror likes to appear all of a sudden. This is what happened when it appeared in the elevator in the outside world. The same has just occurred. Appearing in such a way will make my figure appear in the mirror reflection. Does the figure have to enter the mirror in order for it to strike?’

This thought appeared in Lin Yao’s mind, but he soon dismissed it.

‘No, that’s not the case. I’m also in the mirror reflection now. The strange and mysterious figure in the mirror is actually me with an evil grin, but I have not been teleported into it.

‘Could it be the eyes? Will I only be teleported by it when I open my eyes and meet the gaze of the figure in the mirror?’

This was Lin Yao’s second conjecture. Apart from the second conjecture, Lin Yao also had a third one upon seeing the distorted face of the freak in the mirror.

‘In addition to meeting its gaze, a distorted face such as one filled with shock and panic may also be a triggering condition.’

Anyone who suddenly bumped into a mirror with a reflection that resembled them yet had an incredibly distorted face would be shocked and horrified. Furthermore, the face in the mirror was always distorted. If the face of a human outside was also distorted, it might trigger the condition of the mirror.

Lin Yao might have been tricked this way in the outside world, but in the mirror space, he had sealed off his five senses. Although he’d encountered the mirror, the shocked reaction in Lin Yao’s heart would take more time to be reflected on his face. This made his expression as impassive as a poker face.

‘There are two plausible reasons for triggering the mirror condition. The first is direct eye contact. The other is a shocked and distorted face. It is also possible that these two conditions have to be met in order to trigger the mirror’s teleportation function. In any case, the mirror freak just keeps talking and is not making any moves now. This goes to show that I have not met the conditions. I might never be attacked if I continue doing this.’

After such a thought entered his mind, although Lin Yao tried his best to keep a poker face, he started laughing hysterically in his heart.

‘You can’t attack me? Ha ha ha ha!’

With a poker face, Lin Yao disregarded the chattering mirror and vented his electric powers again.

Buzz, buzz, buzz. Boom, boom, boom…

The shrill electric currents were akin to thousands of birds screaming. Amid the terrifying electric currents, thunder and lightning lashed out at everything, including the mirror, like a whip.

Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised by something. The mirror didn’t attack, even though it had been shattered by the electric current. This made Lin Yao realize he had been right. The mirror evil spirit couldn’t take action.

‘No, in most cases, evil spirits are allowed to take action if they are attacked. It is not attacking now. It’s very likely that the mirror near me is not its actual body.

‘Forget it. I don’t give a damn. Since you don’t dare to attack, don’t blame me for being impolite.’

As he spread and flapped his Tempest Wings, Lin Yao’s figure moved again. This time, he was even more brazen as he transformed into a bolt of electric light, wandering and destroying things in the apartment.

Although the space of the floors had been stretched due to the freak, this kind of stretch was not endless, and Lin Yao could always fly out of it by maintaining a fast-moving speed.

However, while he was flying and attacking at the same time, Lin Yao gradually decided not to fly out of that space. This was because he had discovered something. More than one building had been stored into this space by the mirror.

Due to the distortion and elongation of the floors of the apartment, some hidden rooms had also appeared. In comparison to the rooms of the apartment Lin Yao had been originally located in, those rooms stood out like a sore thumb. Although they were in the apartment, the doors and rooms resembled those of a villa. In addition, they were extremely dilapidated, and some of them had very long aisles.

After smashing the doors and seeing what was inside, the face in Lin Yao’s mind suddenly turned cold.

‘Damn it! Lava and poisonous gas. Don’t tell me this silk red thread is a laser?!’
