Xiaomi used to dislike mirrors very much. To be precise, it doesn't like projection. It doesn't like to see cats that look like it in the world. It is said that when he was born, one of his six siblings looked exactly like him. But before Xiaomi even opened her eyes, she squeezed all the other cats away from her mother's belly, and then kicked the copy monster hard. The copy monster was kicked out of its nest, and then disappeared without a trace.
It shouldn't have remembered this because it didn't stay with its mother very long. A powerful cat should not stay with its mother, but it was taken away by its trainers. When the adult cats went out to look for food, those people sneaked in and took them to the place where they would be trained and lived in the future. Xiaomi has no opinion on this. Cats are supposed to live independently after weaning. And it's nice to have someone to take care of chores. However, what makes it impatient is that it occasionally hears older kittens mentioning its brothers (or maybe sisters).
——Where is the one who looks a lot like you? They would tilt their heads and ask. Look at its head for a while and its tail for a while. If the little cat ignores them, these stupid cats will gently push it with their paws, trying to make it recall the situation in the nest. Where is the one who looks a lot like you but is smaller? They are always asking endless questions. However, the cat's eyes have an extra ring of gray around them. Some of them were a very distinctive gray color, sometimes looking more like lavender. That cat was liked by all the cats for some reason.
Xiaomi's own fur is as white as snowflakes, only the color of her tail is different. It has never seen any purple cats and firmly believes that there are no purple cats in the world. This kind of questioning was obviously offensive to it, so when its legs and feet were flexible enough, it would give the cats who came to annoy it a severe beating. From then on, it was clean, and except for the mirror, it never saw another cat that looked exactly like it. Some cats have faces like it, but with silly orange spots. Some cats have good fur, but their faces are round and blunt, and their legs and feet are ridiculously short. All in all, the great little Mi is one of a kind.
There is only one situation that makes it unhappy. Although it has absolutely no gray hairs, there are two shallow depressions in the hair near the eye sockets. When it stood under the light and looked at the mirror, it looked like it had two very inconspicuous eye circles. That is different from its perception of itself. It angrily pressed the fur there with its paws, but the two fur pits stubbornly remained in place. Xiaomi was very dissatisfied and punished every meow who pointed out this matter.
But then it stopped doing that. That's because everyone who knows it knows how to avoid its eyes. After Whitebeard's training master took it to the Palace of Mirrors, it also felt that mirrors were not so annoying. Of course, it must be a magic mirror, because the magic mirror reflects not only the appearance, but also the soul. The mirrors in the Palace of Mirrors are said to be even more special. Its guide said that those mirrors reflect all the worlds, whether it is the material world, the spiritual world, the potential world, the dream world... In short, nothing can escape the reflection of the Palace of Mirrors. How come these mirrors have such amazing abilities? The Whitebeard Training Master said that because this palace once had a very great owner. He also considered whether to give Xiaomi one of the mirrors, but in the end he did not do so.
The mirror in the temple is too complicated. He explained to Xiaomi. Too much mapping and development is not a good thing, as cats can be easily distracted. Meow's thoughts always follow vision, and he thinks of whatever he sees. However, if you want to control the comet, you must do the opposite and let the cat's thoughts control the vision. So before parting, the master did not give it any mirror in the palace, but asked it to return to its trainer and wait to accept the first task sent to it.
The task came and was indeed delivered to it. After Xiaomi threw the collector's body into the incineration room, she found the first gift given to it by the Whitebeard training master from the secret collection room, a very ancient magic mirror with an almost scaly texture. Xiaomi looked in the mirror, and what was reflected in it was a little girl with a snow-white body and blood-red eyes.
what do you want? Xiaomi in the mirror asked in a seductive whisper. I can make anything happen for you, give you anything you want. Tell me what you want in your heart?
Get out of here, copy monster. Xiaomi replied. This is my mirror! Don't live in my mirror! There can only be me in this mirror!
The copy monster got away. As expected, there was only Xiaomi and its yellow eyes in the mirror. Xiaomi took it back to her residence with satisfaction. Then came the second task. It went to find a master of armor who lived on Eisen Island and was closely protected. This tip is much simpler. It asks the other person to put the lens in for him before he dies. No one was surprised by this, and the trainers seemed to think that it was all done by its killing instinct. Only Xiaomi himself knows that this was done for him by the training master Whitebeard. Why did he design all this for it? What does he want from Xiaomi?
I don't think about anything. The whitebeard training master replied leisurely. Raising seedlings to thrive is my joy. Ah, isn't this an interesting thing? Witnessing how a child grows into a hero is like a gardening activity or the art of sculpting. But the former is a more challenging hobby because the temperament of life is richer and more varied than stone. In order to serve the seedlings, I always have to make a lot of preparations, even if only part of them can be used - I am happy to face some small twists and surprises. For a seasoned builder and creator, randomness is no longer an annoying troublemaker but an inspiration. In short - I want nothing more than a great heroic story.
Xiaomi did not suspect that he was lying. The white-bearded training master knows a lot, and serving cats is what a person who knows a lot should do as a matter of course. However, if the whitebeard training master asked Xiaomi to do something in return, Xiaomi would not object. Meow can do something for those who serve him.
However, the Whitebeard training master has not made any requests. He seems to be just happy to serve Xiaomi, training it to be the greatest hunter, providing it with skills, weapons and prey. Xiaomi doesn't thank him for this, or like him, it just thinks that the old man can be excluded from its hunting list (he is really good at hiding and running away is another reason).
Now that I think about it, maybe all great hunters have such a role. Because they are too busy themselves, they must have a good server to take care of things other than hunting. Trivial tasks, such as maintaining weapons, organizing maps, and delivering messages, were all done by old cats who were not hunters in ancient times. Although these tasks are not honorable, they are nevertheless necessary and must be left to experienced service providers.
But the server cannot be just anyone. It cannot be as mediocre, greedy and stupid as its trainers. Those are, at best, just raised food reserves. The ability and quality of the server reflect the level of the hunter. From this aspect, it is quite satisfied with the whitebeard training master. He can help it achieve its goals.
For a long time, Xiaomi has viewed the relationship between it and the white-bearded training master this way. It can also see this relationship from other hunters. For example, the person it is confronting right now.
It is believed that the cow is a server of the fire element. You can say that. She had special care for him, even going so far to find him. She was helping the fire element achieve its goals, not out of the passion of mating instincts or the natural desire to care during lactation.
There is no other reason to explain such behavior. Therefore, she is a natural servant, a person who lives to build and create heroes. And even though she is far inferior to Whitebeard's trainer, Xiaomi admits that she is far more useful than her trainers. If she is removed, the fire elemental will become lazy and restless, lacking goals and bored with those around it, just like it did before meeting the Whitebeard trainer. She is very useful, as evidenced by the Fire Elemental's reaction: when it first encountered the cow, the Fire Elemental apparently lost control.
If necessary - and it was necessary - it needed to happen again. When the laser emitted from the nozzle landed on Xiaomi's chest, it laughed loudly. What a stupid mistake! That doesn't mean that changing to other ammunition will be useful, because Xiaomi has undergone various trainings, but laser is the weapon that Mirror is least afraid of!
Its mirror suit is not made of ordinary mirrors, and no laser of a certain frequency is powerful enough to penetrate it. It reflects everything, everything. When the red light hit its right chest, the light turned back immediately. The shooting track grazed the cow's arm and then sank into the pool of sewage.
Xiaomi couldn't help but feel sorry for the cow's stupidity and clumsiness - her aim was a little off, too far. If she was aiming at the cat's heart, the vertical, perfectly placed lens on its chest would reflect the laser back at the correct angle, and it would definitely hit the cow itself. Or if she aims at its head and eyes, then it is always ready to take precautions - the shooting direction of this kind of guide tube cannot be faked. If it sees that she is aiming at its eyes, it only needs to raise its paws to block it. Just one block. But Xiaomi doesn't think she will do this. She could not look at it with her eyes, nor any alternative speculum or camera. So if she wanted to hit it on the head, she would have to rely entirely on an automatic system to aim. Is there such a system on the market? An automated system that can move faster than a Meow, yet be small enough to be mounted on a gun? It doesn't think so.
It seems the cows didn't buy such a system. When the gun was pointed at its neck for the second time, Xiaomi shook her tail. Now it's his turn to make a move. It pointed its paw at the cow, its knuckles slightly bent, revealing the shooting port above its paw. At the same time, it imagines a ball of fur hanging in the air. A switch that can be hooked and pulled with the claw. When it pulls the switch, all its mirrors glow, reflecting its eyes that have the color of a comet.
