"Hey, I always feel like there's something fishy about this."
"What went wrong again?"
"Don't you think it went too well?"
"...Is this a problem? Doesn't it mean you are too good?"
"...It would be great if this were the case. NPCs in this world are not that simple..."
Li Yi had a solemn look on his face, obviously not relaxed.
"But aren't you going quite smoothly now? Your mental energy is consumed very quickly. The mirror world is almost filled with the objects you created."
When Curtis said this, he was obviously unhappy.
Not that he didn't want to get out of trouble as soon as possible.
But looking at Hua Hua's mental energy consumption, he couldn't benefit from it at all. You must know that this is his "food".
Just making a bunch of things like this, and you can't even eat them, naturally you will be very unhappy.
But there is no way.
After all, getting out of trouble is still the main goal at this time.
If you can't even get out of trouble, you won't be able to eat anything in the end, let alone evolve.
He can still distinguish the importance of this.
So although Curtis' tone was a little unhappy, he didn't mean to complain, it was just that his tone was not good.
Now that he heard Li Yi say this, he also woke up a little.
"Then what are you going to do? Stop? If you stop now, I'm afraid you'll miss the mark!"
"I know, of course I won't stop now."
Li Yi shook his head and said that he didn't think so.
"Anyway, let's do this for now, but in order to cope with possible changes later, we need to make some preparations in advance."
"Uh...? What preparations?"
"...You'll know in a moment."
"...and still pretending to be mysterious."
Curtis curled his lips disdainfully, but he was actually looking forward to it.
…
Um? Why does something seem wrong? Hmm...is there something wrong inside?
Outside the gate of Maple Leaf County, except for a few people who had escaped, corpses and wreckage were everywhere. Even the last person standing had fallen down at some point.
The whole scene looked terrible, a bloody hell-like scene.
But even so, the gate of Maple Leaf County is still closed. A gate directly separates heaven and hell, and everything seems so strange and unpredictable.
And the fake Li Yi, the culprit who caused all this, was not as happy as he had expected.
Instead, he looked gloomy. The reason was the previous sneak attack.
Today's fake Li Yi is constantly devouring Li Yi's sea of consciousness, while also consuming his mental power.
It is equivalent to forming a bridge between the body of the Shadow Mirror, the world in the mirror, the replica, and the body, and the spiritual energy is continuously transferred to the replica through the body of the Shadow Mirror.
He can use the original owner's mental power as he wishes, and in the process, he continues to devour the original owner's consciousness until it is completely devoured.
By then, he will truly become Li Yi!
And the original owner can only become a prisoner imprisoned forever in the mirror world, and will never be able to turn over!
He has verified this process many times before, and the pirates on the ghost ship are the best proof.
In order to rob the treasure, these pirates killed an entire ship of people. The bright red blood soaked the entire Class A, causing sharks to chase them all the way.
Probably these pirates would never dream of it.
What he originally thought was his dream of getting rich turned into the walking zombie he is now after killing everyone.
If it hadn't been because of greed, it probably wouldn't have been succeeded by the Shadow Magic Mirror, which has become a spiritual tool with self-awareness, right?
Perhaps Li Yi didn't know that his current situation was caused by his innately powerful sea of consciousness and massive mental power, coupled with his not very strong desire.
The pirates on this ship were sucked clean by the Shadow Mirror almost instantly, and instantly turned into zombie-like beings.
But now Li Yi's situation has turned into a war of attrition.
What was originally a one-sided crushing without any suspense (after all, he lost the opportunity at the beginning and fell into passivity from the moment he was locked into the mirror world), but Li Yi suddenly turned into a tug-of-war.
And more importantly, because he actively responded to the situation, neither the main body of the magic mirror nor the clones outside knew that he had thought of this.
And began to actively consume mental energy without the other party's knowledge.
Probably they would not have thought that human beings, who had become prisoners, would use this lose-lose method to force this unilateral devouring to stop at this time.
It wasn't until the main body finally discovered something was wrong and notified several clones outside that things took a new turn.
"What's wrong with you? I think you seem a little uneasy?"
In a small town outside Maple Leaf County, in a tavern, a red-haired woman was looking lovingly at the young boy in front of her.
Julie, a small town girl, has a very high self-esteem. She always believes that with her beauty and charm, she can win the favor of the children of the big family and become famous.
From the moment the fake Li Yi entered the tavern, even though his face was covered, Julie could still recognize who this young man was at a glance.
Who else but the sixth young master of the Sulota family!
Ever since she had this idea, her favorite thing to do was to inquire about the personalities, hobbies, and appearance characteristics of the children of these big families who were similar to her own age.
Especially for the young master of Maple Leaf County who was so far away, Julie could even have her eyes closed and know everything about the young master who was not yet sixteen years old this year.
It is no exaggeration to say that even Li Yi did not know that there was such a person so close to Maple Leaf County who understood the original owner's personality, preferences, height and appearance better than he did.
It even got to the point where even a mask couldn't hide it.
Therefore, as soon as the clone entered the tavern, it was warmly received by the barmaid Julie.
Not only did he give him the best spot in the bar, but he also stole the wine that the shopkeeper kept secretly.
It was a kind of spirit called "Gentle Cup". It tasted great when you drank it, but when you wanted to drink a second cup, you had already entered the land of gentleness and couldn't know it.
In other words, Julie is already somewhat unscrupulous in order to achieve her goal.
Of course, how grateful she would be if she later learned that this was just an impostor.
The problem now is that at first, the young master of the Zulota family was quite interested and kept talking to Julie.
For a time, Julie thought that it was her own charm that fascinated the other party.
It also made her undecided whether to use the "gentle cup" as a killer.
After all, the established fact of voluntarily and involuntarily being forced to get drunk can be explained later.
This is probably the big difference between the main wife and the bed partner!
However, for some reason, the other party suddenly became absent-minded, and his face turned from sunny to gloomy from time to time, looking like he was frowning and worried.
At first, he was perfunctory about his initiative to talk, but later, he didn't care at all.
Julie knew that she could no longer hesitate at this time.
As long as he tricks the other person into drinking that "gentle cup", he will have no control over what happens next.
After making up her mind, Julie quickly replaced the glass of wine in the other person's hand with a "gentle glass" that was already prepared with a technique that was almost invisible.
At the same time, he used the words he had already thought of and used all his charm to look at the other person affectionately.
"I can see that you have something on your mind. Why don't you go do some business first? You can come to my place at any time!"
"Okay, excuse me then."
As soon as the words fell, the clone was about to stand up and leave, but was gently held by the other party's hand.
"Hey, even if you are in a hurry to leave, you still have to drink this cup. You have been sitting here for so long without even drinking a cup. You are fine! But those people may not let you go."
Zhu Li said coquettishly, while gesturing to the other party with her eyes.
Following Julie's gaze, the clone saw several people staring at him with malicious eyes, and while staring, they drank one glass after another.
That seems to be saying.
Not drinking means not giving face!
Are all humans like this?
Forcing people to drink this kind of drink is very harmful to the body.
But the most important thing now is to leave this place without attracting attention.
After thinking about it, the clone picked up the "gentle cup" and faced Julie.
"I propose a toast to you. After saying that, I raised my head and drank the glass of wine that had not been touched for a long time.
What he didn't know was that just as he raised his head and drank the "gentle cup", Julie's eyes brightened significantly.
