Chapter 20

If it wasn't the same monster... No, there weren't many living creatures in this place, and so far I've only seen that one in human form. In this case, there are two monsters that look exactly the same. What are the chances?

approaching zero.

If the two of them saw the same monster, why did the monster show two completely opposite behaviors when facing Wen Yan and Jian Tong?

Because there is no other reference, Wen Yan can't even deduce which kind of behavior is normal. Is there something on him that makes him feel scared, so he runs away when he sees him, or is there something on Jian Tong? Something, or Jian Tong's certain behavior stimulated it, would it be chased by it?

Wen Yan had a feeling in his heart that compared with him, Jian Tong seemed to be more favored by those monsters.

After resting, Jian Tong's collapsed mood improved obviously, and she obediently lay on Wen Yan's back, talking to him in a low voice. Wen Yan hesitated for a while, but finally did not express her confusion.

He didn't want this specious inference without evidence to affect Jian Tong's hard-won emotions.

Wen Yan made up his mind, from now on, no matter what, he would never be separated from Jian Tong again.As for those confusions, when they encounter that monster again, they will naturally understand. If they don't encounter it again, there is no point in entanglement.

Wen Yan lowered his eyes, hiding the complexity in his eyes.

Jian Tong, who had regained his vitality lying on his back, was still chirping with him: "Brother, let me tell you, think about it now, that monster that ran out of the shoe looks super slender!"

Wen Yan was taken aback: "Slender?"

"It's the slender ghost I told you before, I'm super afraid of those things." Jian Tong said with lingering fear.

Wen Yan asked: "Is it just like? Are you sure it's not long and thin?"

"Of course not. Slenderness doesn't grow out of shoes. Although the unusually long limbs do look alike, but slenderness is an urban legend, so it shouldn't exist?" Jian Tong paused, "I probably don't either. Are you so unlucky that you are afraid of something?"

Wen Yan's footsteps paused, always feeling that he seemed to have grasped some clues, but he couldn't explain why for a while, and aware of his pause, Jian Tong asked distressedly: "Brother, are you tired? Or I'll go by myself!"

"No need." Wen Yan adjusted his posture, and continued walking with Jian Tong on his back.

"I think I'm much better, I can go by myself." Jian Tong said weakly.

Wen Yan: "Say no, just lie down obediently."

"Oh..." Jian Tong lay on Wen Yan's back without daring to move, only a small mouth remained, "Where did we just talk about?"

"Speaking of your bad luck, what are you afraid of?" In order to appease Jian Tong's emotions, Wen Yan did his best to chat with him along the way.

Jian Tong tilted her confused little head: "? You didn't say that, brother!"

"Then let's verify it and tell me what are you afraid of?" Wen Yan joked.

"I'm still afraid..." Jian Tong paused for a moment, then hesitated, "Forget it, forget it, it's not crow's mouth anymore, life-saving is the most important thing."

…………

Not long after, the two turned into a familiar street, Wen Yan glanced ahead, and whispered to his younger brother lying on his back, "Tongtong, we're home."

Although Jian Tong was nostalgic for the time when he could stay on Wen Yan's back, he felt even more distressed that his brother had carried him on his back for such a long distance. He got off Wen Yan's back cooperatively, and then sat on Wen Yan's support. The co-driver of the car.

Wen Yan carried the car key with him, which saved him the trouble and hassle of entering the door.

Before, because they were worried about missing clues, the two chose to walk to confirm the situation of several mirrors. Although they did not delay for a long time in each place, these fragmentary time added together, several nights passed. Hours, not to mention they were forced to separate for nearly an hour afterwards.

It was not easy to meet up, because Jian Tong was emotionally broken, and they rested in place for a long time.

Later, Wen Yan went home with Jian Tong on his back. There was no physical problem, but the time must have been delayed.

After so much delay, by the time they got into the car, it was already daylight.

The remaining mirrors that needed to be confirmed didn't take them long, but they didn't gain anything, so the two turned the car around and drove to Mirror Lake.

When we arrived at Jinghu Lake, the sun had already risen. The soft sunlight in the morning shimmered the entire Jinghu Lake, and the mist filled the surface of the lake, making Jinghu, a gem embedded in the mountains, appear unique. Such charm.

As mentioned before, the scope of this space includes the entire town, but because the mirror lake is larger than the entire town, this space does not include the mirror lake.It's just because the mirror lake and the edge of the town are closely connected together, so they can barely reach the edge of the mirror lake.

In order to confirm the particularity of the "mirror" of Jinghu Lake, Wen Yan did not drive directly to the side of Jinghu Lake, but to a high ground beside Jinghu Lake.Because of the high terrain, standing there can clearly see the reflection on the mirror lake.

The reflection of the mirror lake needs light to appear, so the condition of the mirror lake can only be confirmed after daytime, which is why the brothers did not immediately investigate the most suspicious mirror lake after entering this space.In the dark night, they could not confirm the uniqueness of Mirror Lake.

After arriving at the high ground, the two brothers got out of the car and stood on the high ground overlooking the entire Mirror Lake from top to bottom—only to see the sleeping image of the entire Chunxia Town reflected on the green "mirror surface" of Mirror Lake.

That's right, Mirror Lake is completely different from the mirrors they have confirmed before. What appears on the lake is not the white mist, but the image of Chunxia Town.

As the only mirror in the whole town that can reflect images, Jinghu is undoubtedly the special mirror that Jian Tong and Wen Yan have worked so hard to find.

After repeated confirmation, Jian Tong was so excited that he almost jumped up. He turned around a few times, then turned around and hugged Wen Yan, sharing his joy with him: "Brother! We finally found it! !!"

In order to find this "mirror", they had a very difficult night. However, despite going through so many hardships, things finally came to a good result.

Compared with Jian Tong's excitement, Wen Yan is obviously much calmer.They found this special mirror, but Wen Yan couldn't help but feel a little at a loss as to what to do next.

According to the assumption, as long as they pass through this special "mirror", they can return to the real world which is completely opposite to this space, but who would have thought that the "mirror" would be such a large lake?

A mirror has a substance, so you can tell if you can pass it through a test, but water can contain everything. For a water aggregate like a lake, how can it pass?

What should they do to smoothly return to the real world they are familiar with?

Jian Tong did not receive his brother's worries. Jinghu was that special mirror. This point of view was his idea from the beginning. Now that his point of view has been confirmed, Jian Tong elated instantly, feeling that he was finally useful in front of his brother.

Meng 1's aura is finally reflected a little bit!

Excited!

Jian Tong excitedly pushed Wen Yan back into the car, and drove to the lake.

Wen Yan stood by the lake and observed for a while, but did not draw any useful conclusions. Jian Tong thought for a while: "Brother, do we have to go into the water?"

Wen Yan stopped Jian Tong from approaching the lake, walked over by himself, took off his shoes and stepped into the lake.Not all parts of Jinghu Lake are very deep. There are several shallows near the lake, and the deepest part is just below the knees.

Wen Yan stood in the lake for a while, but nothing happened.

Jian Tong said again: "Maybe it's not deep enough? Why do you have to go in with your whole body!"

But even in this weird space, the lake in front of them is real, so real that they can easily drown a person. Moreover, no one can guarantee them that they will be able to return to another world after diving.

Wen Yan felt that it was not advisable to be in danger before finding a definite method.

But he didn't have any better ideas either.

Already standing on the edge of Jinghu, doing nothing and trying nothing, just turning back like that, not to mention Jian Tong, even Wen Yan, who is supremely rational, will feel unwilling.

Jian Tong saw his brother's hesitation, thought for a while, and then suggested: "Then why don't we go on the rope?"

As a person who has made full preparations in advance, Jian Tong took out a bundle of ropes for rock climbing from his bag - he was able to get this thing thanks to Wen Yan's father who has a wide range of interests. He has a hobby of rock climbing. There is rock climbing equipment at home, so Jian Tong can search for this bundle of ropes from home.

With the rope, Wen Yan finally looked better, but soon, the two brothers had a dispute over who should go into the water.

Both wanted to dive by themselves, leaving the other on the relatively safe shore.Jian Tong has always been obedient to Wen Yan's words, but this time he refused to compromise. After a long stalemate, Jian Tong gave in first. He moved to Wen Yan's side, tugged at his brother's sleeve, and shouted softly Him: "Brother~"

Wen Yan was unmoved: "There is no discussion." But he did not shake off Jian Tong's hand holding his sleeve.

"But..." Jian Tong hugged Wen Yan's arm desperately, "No brother, I can't stay on the shore alone. Once I separate from you, the chance of bumping into a ghost is [-]%. Then I hit a ghost again, so in case something unexpected happens to you, and I can't protect myself, how can I help my brother? Otherwise, we will all have to break here, won't we?"

"You can bump into ghosts on the shore, don't tell me you won't when you go down?" Wen Yan asked in a deep voice.

"But I still have an older brother!" Jian Tong raised her head to look at Wen Yan, her dark eyes were filled with the ripples of Jinghu Lake, making it impossible to move her eyes away for a moment, "My elder brother will pull me up!"

"But your physical strength is not enough..."

"Then rest until I can, anyway, we have nothing else to do, right?" Sensing Wen Yan's looseness, Jian Tong smiled and shook his arm, "Let me try, brother !"

Wen Yan was silent for a moment, he knew very well in his heart that what Jian Tong proposed was indeed the best solution at this stage.He stayed on the shore and was able to deal with unexpected situations on the shore and underwater in a timely manner. His ability to respond to emergencies and crises is better than that of Jiantong. There is no doubt about this, but he still finds it difficult to accept that he wants his brother to take the risk of diving deep into the lake. , to find their way out.

Taking advantage of the victory, Jian Tong pursued and pulled Wen Yan's arm: "Brother, I'm going to be full soon, and I'm a reliable man, trust me once, okay?"

Wen Yan was angry and funny, reached out and tapped Jian Tong's forehead: "He's still a child!"

Jian Tong has never been entangled in such small issues: "Well, well, he is also a reliable child! Just trust me once, okay?"

Wen Yan finally nodded, but asked Jian Tong to rest fully on the shore until her physical strength fully recovered before going down to the lake.

Under his brother's all-round surveillance, Jian Tong obediently put down the back of the co-pilot's seat and took a nap for several hours. After twelve o'clock, Wen Yan made sure that they had not been released, and Jian Tong's physical strength had almost recovered. Wen Yan just pulled the rope and let his younger brother into the water.
