Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 168 Mirror and Rag

The terrifying tentacles with ferocious suckers and sharp teeth that I saw in the last scene seemed to be right in front of me. Even though they were two worlds apart, Xie Zihao still felt that strong sense of oppression, and a burst of pain inevitably came out of his back.

Cold sweat.

It was his first real adventure into the spirit world. After only going a little deeper into the spirit world, he encountered the A-level terrifying monster Spirit World Predator introduced in the Extraordinary Manual of the Special Investigation Bureau. Xie Zihao wondered whether he was just too unlucky or whether the spirit world was really real.

So dangerous?

"And is that thing really just an A-level extraordinary monster? Why do I think it's scarier than the Ten Thousand Souls Adhesive Monster in the mine below Jinshan Ghost Market?"

Xie Zihao thought with lingering fear, and then thought that the difference might be caused by different relationships in the world.

"Perhaps the Thousand Soul Adhesive Monster will be more terrifying in a world like the underworld. When it comes to the real world, it will be like the red-faced devil and the yellow-eyed devil's clones before. Their strength has been suppressed by the rules of reality..."

He looked down at the items brought back by his two sons on the incense table.

Xie Zihao couldn’t help but complain:

"What are these things? Am I really going to turn into a rag picker?"

Itachi and Clark brought back a total of five items this time, but none of them looked complete or useful. They were all in tatters, as if they were picked up from a garbage dump.

One of these five items is the bones of an unknown creature, and the other is an open used can. God knows how there are cans in the spiritual world?

It was still an empty can that had been eaten, and the lid of the can was still half-curled and connected to the empty box.

The third one was half a piece of broken mirror that was no bigger than a palm, then a dry branch of unknown species, and finally an irregular triangular piece of rag that seemed to be torn from something.

Xie Zihao did not dare to directly deal with these spiritual objects. Instead, he went to the kitchen to get barbecue tongs. He first picked up the bone stick of an unknown creature that was only as long as chopsticks and as thick as a sugar cane, and observed it carefully while holding his breath.

This thing doesn't look much different from ordinary animal bones. The difference is that the texture is somewhat jade-like and it emits light fluorescence. This may be due to the difference between creatures in the spiritual world and real creatures.

"Animal bones can generally be used as medicine, or as materials for magical weapons. Although the bones of these spiritual creatures are not very spiritual, they are much more spiritual than ordinary materials in the real world. They can be compared with some spiritual materials.

It can be used as a material for magic weapons or to refine some amulets, small pendants and the like, which should be very marketable!"

"Even if it is not used to refine the magic weapon, if it is broken into pieces, it can be used as a beacon for Itachi and the others to enter the spiritual world next time. This piece can be used many times."

He was quite satisfied with this first thing.

Then he picked up the can box. The trademark pattern on it was already blurred, and he quickly threw it into the box he had prepared in disgust.

"This thing is completely rubbish. Just like the previous two pieces of rubbish, it has a small amount of spirituality and is not suitable for anything. It can only be used as a beacon for entering the spiritual world next time. Could it be that the spiritual world is the same as the ocean in reality?

Is there a problem with floating trash?”

Feeling a little depressed, the third Xie Zihao picked up the dry branch first.

He observed this thing several times, and even with the spiritual vision of the Sharingan, he could only see that in addition to a small amount of spirituality, there was still a different aura left inside the branch.

But with his knowledge, he couldn't understand it right away, so he classified it together with the bones from the spirit world to be processed.

For the fourth item, Xie Zihao picked up the half-broken mirror and looked at the rusty and dirty mirror. Suddenly, a piece of smooth mirror like mercury was revealed in the mirror.

His eyes, which emitted scarlet light, were reflected in the mirror. But then they disappeared, returning to the rusty, dirty mirror surface again.

"interesting!"

Xie Zihao looked at the mirror fragments held in the clips with interest.

This thing is not a modern industrial mirror, but something similar to the one from before the 19th century.

I originally studied history. The earliest glass mirror in the world that I remember probably appeared in the 14th century, but the glass mirrors at that time were very crudely made and were not considered real mirrors.

It wasn't until 1508 that the Italian glass craftsmen Dalcaro brothers finally successfully developed a practical glass mirror. They first attached tin foil to the glass surface, and then poured mercury on it. The mercury dissolved the tin to form a layer called "

The alloy of "tin amalgam" adheres to the glass surface, forming a relatively smooth silver mirror reflective surface.

This is the original glass mirror.

However, the "tin amalgam" method is harmful to the human body, and it is also very labor-intensive to make, so glass mirrors were not popular at that time.

It was not until 1835, when the German chemist Liebig invented the chemical silver plating method that people got truly harmless glass mirrors.

With the development of modern industry, in the 20th century, people invented a cheaper aluminum plating method. From then on, glass mirrors were no longer a luxury product, and the materials for making mirrors included not only glass, but also other materials besides copper.

Metal and plastic.

To Xie Zihao, this glass mirror fragment looked like an old-fashioned silver-plated glass mirror. Because there was no modern industrial coating on the back, and silver was more likely to rust.

"It can be roughly inferred that although we don't know how this mirror arrived in the spiritual world, its birth should be from after 1835 to the 1970s."

"And judging from the reaction of the mirror fragment just now, there must be something fishy about this thing."

Xie Zihao put the mirror fragments on the side of the box and pretended to check the last rag, turning his head away from looking at it. In fact, his mind was paying attention to that thing.

But after he picked up the rag, he discovered something different.

"Huh?"

This piece of cloth is somewhat similar to ancient linen, a kind of cloth worn by civilians. It looks similar to the old coarse cloth I saw in my previous life, except that it is more finely woven and has an irregular triangular shape as a whole. When opened, there is only one big

It was about the size of a handkerchief, with uneven edges, as if it had been torn from a complete piece of cloth.

What made Xie Zihao feel strange was that this piece of rag made him unable to see any aura or feel any spiritual aura.

This is definitely an unusual thing.

You must know that even in the real world where spiritual power is thin, everything has its own aura. Even the stones on the roadside and the man-made buildings in the community all have their own aura. The difference is just that

It’s just how much it is.

But this piece of rag actually prevented Xie Zihao from seeing any spiritual light. The spiritual vision talent brought by his Sharingan was even more sensitive to spiritual light than Melinda's natural psychic talent.

It is so ordinary and has no aura, which shows that this piece of rag is abnormal.

Just when Xie Zihao was feeling strange, he suddenly felt something strange in the mirror fragment behind him, and at the same time, the plug-in in his mind also sent a reminder.

So Xie Zihao turned around suddenly and saw a strange hand covered with scales and long nails stretching out from the mirror fragments, about to grab his back.

Xie Zihao, who was well prepared, was not frightened by this strange scene. Instead, he flew back and threw the rag in his hand towards the strange hand and the mirror fragment.

Third update, good night, see you tomorrow!
