I didn’t know what Zhang Hazi meant, so I put away the sun visor on my head, then stretched my neck and looked out the window. At the same time, I thought to myself, isn’t the sun still the same sun? What difference could there be?
But when I looked through the front windshield for a long time without seeing the sun, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. Then I looked at Zhang Hazi in disbelief and asked him, what on earth is going on?
Not only did I notice something strange, but Wu Tinghan also noticed it. She also looked at Zhang Hazi with a puzzled look on her face and whispered, "The direction is different."
Yes, our direction is completely different.
Before we went from Star City to Huilongdi, and then from Huilongdi back to Laosicheng, we always walked all the way to the west. It was already bright when we set off from Huilongdi. It was already past noon when I heard Wu Tinghan talk about the things that happened to her along the way. When I entered the service area for the first time, it was already afternoon.
I say so much because I remember that before we entered the service area for the first time, I put down the sun visor because I was worried about the glare of the sun. In other words, when entering the service area, the sun is directly in front of us.
But now, I stretched my neck and searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the sun. I only saw the left front of the car, with the shadow of the car body imprinted on it. In other words, the sun at this moment is behind and to the right of our car. As Wu Tinghan said, this is completely different from the direction we were heading before!
If we are returning to the original place, then the direction of our sun must be the same. But now, the direction of the sun is completely reversed, which means that we are not returning to the original place at all, but to another service area! Moreover, it is located opposite the previous service area.
As we all know, the layout of service areas on highways is different in each place. There are various layouts such as parking areas for large vehicles, parking areas for small vehicles, repair areas, etc. But no matter how the service area changes in each place, the layout of the two service areas opposite the expressway must be exactly the same.
Therefore, the service area that can realize the completely opposite position of the sun and have the same layout as the previous service area can only be the service area opposite the previous service area!
However, we were clearly at the service area across the road just now, so how could we be here in the blink of an eye?
Mirror world!
This was the first thought that came to my mind, we must have encountered the Mirror World. Moreover, this mirror is placed on the dividing line between the service area and the road, and there is a curved mirror at the exit. The entire mirror is C-shaped, forming a complete circle with the service area.
In this way, when we rushed out, we did not actually rush out of the service area, but happened to break into another service area in the mirror world.
And due to the imaging principle of the mirror, and because we turned our head in the curved mirror, we did not appear to be at the exit, but at the entrance to the service area. (If it’s not easy to understand after reading the text, you’ll understand by drawing a picture yourself)
No wonder we haven't been able to get out. It turns out we are trapped in the mirror world. This is why Wu Tinghan still can't get out even though he used the method of destroying ghosts and building walls, and why we find that the direction of the sun has completely changed.
But it's not right. I remember Wu Tinghan said that she also tried to break the mirror world, but the result was the same, she still couldn't get out of this ghost place. Could it be that this is not the mirror world?
But after thinking about it, I found the reason, because all the mirrors we encountered before were straight, but this mirror is curved at the head and tail. Naturally, it cannot be cracked by the conventional method of breaking the mirror boundary, so Wu Ting Han will fail.
Yes, that must be the reason!
So as long as we can think of a way to break the curved mirror, we can escape from this hellish place.
But after Wu Tinghan and Zhang Hazi listened to my analysis, they both looked at me with disgust and contempt, obviously not agreeing with my analysis at all.
So I asked, what, is there something wrong with my analysis just now?
Zhang Hazi said, you are an immortal, what is the way to break the mirror world?
I thought about it and said, what’s the matter with planning to make mirrors in the mirror world?
He said that a flat mirror can be broken, but a curved mirror cannot be broken? There is so much shit in your head that you can't even understand a simple truth?
Let me tell you, what if the hardness of curved mirrors is different from that of flat mirrors?
He stretched out his hand and was about to slap me on the head. He said, "Don't you tell me that the mirror is made of bulletproof glass. That way nothing can be broken and I will be trapped until death!"
I thought about it, and then said seriously, it was either impossible or not, I just didn't know if a mirror made of bulletproof glass could be used to perform the Mirror Realm.
After hearing what I said, Zhang Hazi had a look of despair on his face. Then he weakly pointed at the tall paper man waiting for someone who had lost a little of his aura not far from the front right of the service area and said, "You are frustrated." Take a look at that paper man. If it were the mirror world, where would that paper man appear?
When I heard this question, I was stunned.
Indeed, the imaging principle of the mirror is to make things in reality symmetrical one to one. So the paper man in the real service area is standing near the entrance, so in the mirror world, it should be near the exit. Standing in the direction of the entrance, rather than appearing in the direction of this entrance.
How to explain this?
Could it be that someone moved the paper man in the real service area to the exit the moment we entered the mirror world? Then when we came out of the camera world, we moved the paper man to its original position?
But if that's the case, wouldn't the person who created the mirror world die of exhaustion?
Zhang Hazi said, whether you are exhausted or not is another matter. The key issue is that all craftsmanship requires simplicity and efficiency. If he really moved around like you said, do you think Wu Tinghan and I wouldn't be able to notice that person's presence?
Indeed, with the abilities of Zhang Hazi and Wu Tinghan, it is impossible for a craftsman to move paper figures around in the service area without them noticing.
Wu Tinghan also interjected, and if someone really moved the paper figure, the mirror would reflect that person in the mirror. Although the vision may not be good at night, I didn't see it, but in broad daylight, we should be able to see it. right.
But from beginning to end, except for the paper man, we didn’t see anyone else. If the paper man could walk on his own, that would be fine. However, Wu Tinghan had wiped away some of the aura of the paper man. Now he is just a real paper man. He does not have the ability to walk and cannot move around on his own. go.
But if the mirror world is not made of curved mirrors, how can we explain that the direction of the sun is completely reversed?
You know, no matter how talented you are as a craftsman, you cannot change the direction of the sun. The only explanation is that the direction of the front of our car has indeed changed.
But apart from curved mirrors, I really can't think of any other way that can change the direction of the car's front that can allow us to change the direction of the car's body in an instant.
Zhang Hazi said, are you sure that our direction was changed in an instant?
