Chapter 19 The Mystery in the Mirror
The warm sunlight shone down on me again, dispelling the chilly feeling.
They're finally back.
Qin Nan gazed at the sun, which was gradually shifting westward, and silently sighed in his heart.
What just happened has shattered her worldview. Although her worldview was shattered once before when Xiao Hui approached her two years ago, this experience was clearly more thorough.
A mysterious mirror world of unknown origin, a wolf-headed monster with a magical girl sister, and everything about her makes her feel like she's living in a dream.
Even though she is now in the real world, she still can't guarantee that she has really come out.
Staring blankly at the skyscraper in front of him, Qin Nan's heart pounded, as if the building would start to fold and flip at any moment, and then shoot straight into the sky like a rocket launch.
Qin Nan closed her eyes and exhaled a deep breath, slowly calming herself down.
She knew she was really out; at least the sun outside had warmth, and that couldn't be faked.
"Sister Nan! Sister Nan!"
Just as she was calming herself down, a gasp came from above, accompanied by the sound of wings flapping.
Immediately, his shoulder slumped as the dark gray parrot landed steadily on Qin Nan's shoulder.
"Sister Nan, you're finally back! You have no idea how worried I was. Just a moment ago, I couldn't even sense your presence, and even your rainbow crystal flower disappeared. I was really startled. But the good news is that the power of that heretic demon has also disappeared, but compared to your disappearance, it's hardly good news."
"Can I have some peace and quiet?"
Qin Nan felt her heart, which had just calmed down, begin to churn again.
"Quiet? Of course, you just disappeared from the real world and then suddenly reappeared. It's perfectly fine for you to want some peace and quiet right now. Although I don't know what happened to you, since you want some peace and quiet, then naturally I will."
"Shut your beak, Little Grey, or I won't be adding ham to my instant noodles tonight!" Qin Nan's fist hardened.
Upon hearing this, Little Gray trembled and immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing that the surroundings had finally quieted down, Qin Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but then her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Slightly steadying her somewhat unsteady steps, Qin Nan raised her head, reopened her eyes, and turned to look at the glass curtain wall behind her with an uncertain expression.
The glass curtain wall has a slightly greenish tint because of the film coating inside, but you can still clearly see your reflection through the outer glass layer.
So I came out of here just now.
Silently reaching out, Qin Nan tentatively placed her hand on the glass.
The image of her hand passing through the mirror did not appear as she had imagined; instead, she felt a hard sensation, which made her feel slightly relieved.
Today's events were truly bizarre. It was already surprising enough that a heretical demon could appear during the day, but she never expected to encounter an even stranger fellow.
Xiao Hui didn't know why Qin Nan was looking at the glass curtain wall with such anxiety. He hadn't actually seen Qin Nan disappear; he was just quietly standing on her shoulder.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Nan slowly came to her senses and broke the silence.
"Hey, Little Grey."
"I'm here," Little Grey replied immediately.
"Have you ever heard of a reversed world or a mirror dimension?" Qin Nan asked the question that she most wanted to know.
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Hui froze as if electrocuted, falling off Qin Nan's shoulder and crashing to the ground with a thud.
"You, you, you, what did you just say?!" Little Gray flapped its wings and struggled, but couldn't get up for a long time.
Qin Nan lowered his head in surprise. "The Reversed World, have you heard of this dimension?"
Little Gray struggled for a long time, but finally gave up and collapsed to the ground, opening its mouth in shock. "Before I answer your question, answer one of my questions first: where did you hear this name from?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Nan's expression turned serious, and she said irritably, "I just stepped out of a mirror, what do you think?"
"Oh my God," Little Gray stammered, his voice trembling. "You mean, you just went to the Mirror Dimension?!"
"Otherwise, answer my question now: what exactly is this mirror dimension?" Qin Nan asked.
"I don't know," Little Grey answered truthfully.
"You don't know?" Qin Nan almost choked. "You don't know, yet you're trembling like a phone on vibrate?!"
"I've never been to that place, so of course I don't know. Nobody has actually been there. Many humans have claimed to have been there, but that's all nonsense. To be honest, the fact that you came back alive from that world is enough to write an autobiography and sell to other magical girls."
The latest novel is first published here!
After quickly finishing his long speech, Xiao Hui suddenly realized something, struggled to retreat more than two meters, and looked at Qin Nan with a terrified expression.
"Wait a minute! Are you still Sister Nan? You haven't been replaced by those guys in the mirrors, have you!?"
Qin Nan's lips twitched, and a hashtag appeared on her forehead.
"Little Grey, you don't want your feathers anymore, do you? Why don't you come here and I'll show you if I'm not your Sister Nan?"
Looking at Qin Nan, who was on the verge of exploding just like in his memory, Xiao Hui chuckled awkwardly.
"I... I'm just scared. Although the power of the Rainbow Crystal Flower cannot be copied, if you really get replaced by those guys from the Mirror Dimension, I have to hurry and find someone to save you!"
"Didn't you say that no one can enter the mirror dimension? Then who can you ask to save me?" Qin Nan asked, her eyes narrowing as she glanced at Little Gray in front of her.
"Uh..." Little Grey was speechless.
Seeing his expression, Qin Nan shook her head helplessly, sighed, and continued to ask, "What exactly happened? If you don't know about the Mirror Dimension, why do you know that the beings there can replace humans?"
"I haven't actually been in contact with the Mirror Dimension, but that doesn't mean others haven't. Back when I was a homeless bird, I stayed at the home of a magical girl. At that time, she was fighting a group of strange people from the Mirror Dimension, I think their names were... something like that."
"A greedy person?"
"Yes, yes, that's the name!"
Little Gray suddenly rolled over and got up, and said seriously.
"Those guys are so weird. Every night at midnight, they climb out of the mirror, pull the victim into the mirror, and live in the real world as the victim."
"Most importantly, this kind of intrusion is impossible to defend against; even spirit beasts like us would find it difficult to detect!"
