The origin of the red makeup mirror is mysterious.
Jiang Wang didn't know much about its background.
It was unexpectedly obtained from Hu Shaomeng's hands, but due to limited strength, Hu Shaomeng himself did not do much research on this treasure and only developed the use of the phantom body.
But the information currently known is that even Hai Zongming, the powerful elder of Diaohai Tower, covets this thing.
Judging from the red makeup mirror itself, Jiang Wang didn't get many clues since the snowstorm.
On the other hand, the second calamity, Overturning the Sea, vaguely revealed a lot of information. But the information was lacking, and it was difficult for Jiang Wang to piece together a complete understanding. I only know that it is probably related to a person named "Fu Hai".
At the end of the snowstorm, the white snow subsides, the permafrost melts, and the spring breeze occurs. What the female voice said was "The beauty is not old yet".
At the end of the catastrophe, the world fell into eternal darkness. What the female voice said was [the sun goes out].
At the beginning of every tribulation, there is a sentence.
The first calamity is "Poor old man in front of the mirror with his pretty face, but his red makeup kills the person in the mirror!"
The second calamity is "How can it be said that there is no beauty in the world? A flash of red makeup can kill a person."
In the third calamity, "Who in the world can be guilt-free? Go to the sea of suffering and overturn this body."
There seems to be no connection, but it seems to be vaguely connected to a story.
That opening female voice connects all the threads throughout.
In Feixuejie, the voice was indifferent from beginning to end. During the catastrophe of Fu Hai, when he first announced the beginning of the catastrophe, he was also cold and cold, but in the words "Fu Hai, I will kill you!", he was full of hatred.
But this time, it started with a sad mood.
It seems that with the experience of the disaster in the mirror world, the female voice gradually changed.
Jiang Wang didn't know what this change meant.
It is precisely this unknown that is the opportunity Jiang Wang wants. Facing Zhuang Chengqian, who has been planning for so long and knows him well, dragging him into the unknown together and facing variables also eliminates the gap.
As for how much it can be erased, it depends on what the red makeup mirror can do.
From the flying snow tribulation, the sea-covering tribulation, to the heart-asking tribulation.
From being caught off guard the first time, to the adventurous exploration after weighing the second time, to this time's desperate attempt.
Jiang Wang didn't feel that he had enough strength to survive the third calamity of the mirror world, but at that moment, there was really no other way.
Zhuang Chengqian is so terrifying, a kind of terrifying that makes people despair. Firmly controlling the situation and calculating everything, no matter what Jiang Wang resists, he can easily handle it. With the flip of a palm, all hope is suppressed.
After trying all kinds of means, the red makeup mirror was the secret trick he had to use.
And before he actually used this hidden hand, even he himself didn't know what it was and what they would face.
…
…
"You could have saved me."
In the seemingly eternal darkness, Jiang Wang heard a voice say this.
He couldn't see anything at this time, but he heard clearly.
"You could have saved me."
The words were repeated, repeated in different voices.
Ten different people, a hundred different people, a thousand different people...
Countless voices merged into one, blending into one annoying, painful sound.
"Why didn't you?!"
Looking back on all the experiences along the way, what is the thing that makes Jiang Wang regret the most and makes him feel most guilty?
Back in Maplewoods City, he had foreseen the danger in advance, but he trusted Dong A credulously. As a result, when the tragedy happened, no one could be saved except An An and Song Qingzhi.
His brothers in life and death, teachers and classmates, neighbors, relatives, friends and fellow countrymen...all are lost forever.
That kind of regret and pain gnawed at his heart every moment.
"Why didn't you?"
In the endless darkness, a face gradually became clear.
That originally handsome face was cut to pieces with a sharp weapon, making it hideous and terrifying.
But Jiang Wang still easily recognized that it was Zhao Rucheng.
"I……"
Jiang Wang stretched out his hand, wanting to touch him, but he didn't dare.
Just murmuring, murmuring: "I...I..."
He couldn't explain it.
He couldn't find or make any excuse for himself.
This is his eternal pain!
"Why didn't you?"
Among the thousands of voices, Jiang Wang could still hear Ling He's voice.
His voice was generous and calm, and even when he was questioning, it was tolerant and approachable. As if to say, Xiao Wang, it doesn't matter, I don't blame you.
It was precisely this kind of tolerance that Ling He must have that made Jiang Wang collapse all of a sudden.
He fell to his knees and held his head in pain: "I'm sorry...it was my stupidity and naivety that caused you harm!"
In the darkness, faint shadows are moving, getting closer, getting closer...
Jiang Wang knelt down in the center of the darkness, wrapped in the darkness, as if he was about to merge into the darkness.
"elder brother!"
He heard a child's voice like a silver bell.
"Brother! Don't you want me anymore?"
Jiang Wang stood up suddenly, his eyes wide with tears: "An'an, An'an!"
All questions disappeared.
A thousand, ten thousand, hundreds of thousands of voices, all disappeared.
In the endless darkness, he could see nothing and hear nothing.
But he was silent.
The silence lasted for a while.
He reached out his hand and wiped away his tears in the darkness.
"My brother Linghe, you are my brother, Azhan is my friend, my master Xiao is my elder, my dearest relatives and friends, classmates and neighbors. I have a guilty conscience towards you."
He said: "My journey through this world is like walking in a sea of suffering."
"But I still have to go on, not only to take care of An An, but also to go on with everything you have."
His voice was calm, firm.
"I'm here to shoulder all the sorrow, I'm here to bear all the pain. I'm here to repay your hatred, and I'm here to fulfill your dreams."
The shadows in the depths of darkness dispersed silently.
boom! boom! boom!
A heartbeat suddenly sounded in the darkness, like a drum.
Jiang Wang felt that his heart seemed to be swelling, beating, and shouting, as if it was about to explode! The whole body will be blown into ashes together with it.
And he heard, in the heartbeat, a voice that was indistinguishable from male to female and without any emotion asked -
"Have you ever felt greedy when faced with treasures?"
"Have you ever had lustful thoughts when faced with beauty?"
"Have you ever thought of murder? Have you ever thought of destroying beauty?"
"Have you ever thought about power?"
"Have you ever been jealous of others?"
These questions go straight to the deepest part of my heart. As if to pull all the dark sides out of the deepest darkness. Make people face it and make them repent.
The voice said: "The deepest darkness is facing one's own heart. The filth and malice deep in the heart of a living being is deeper than the eternal darkness of the universe."
"Have you seen it? How do you face it? How do you choose?"
Jiang Wang didn't know when he was sitting cross-legged.
He sat alone in eternal darkness with his heart upturned.
He did see deep inside his heart, and he did admit that he had had evil thoughts.
But faced with this last question, he only said four words.
He said--
"A thought blooms."
Heaven and hell are just a thought away.
