Lu Ren had actually guessed it a long time ago.
Since the queen worm was not in this world, there could only be a mirror world on the other side of the city gate.
Wang Min had previously tried to control the queen worm to invade his body and control his consciousness.
However, Lu Ren was highly focused at the time and did not give the other party any chance to take advantage of it.
So Wang Min chose to temporarily withdraw the queen worm, hoping to paralyze Lu Ren in this way, let him relax his vigilance, and exhaust his mental power in endless suffering.
Then he would launch a surprise attack when his spirit was weakest.
Obviously, the moment the city gate was opened was such a great opportunity.
Wang Min could think of it, and so could Lu Ren.
His previous state of confusion in the city, as if on the verge of collapse and despair, was completely pretended, in order to lure the queen worm to attack him.
Sure enough, Wang Min could not hold back.
Lu Ren had been prepared, so when he saw the small black dot behind the door, he had already reacted.
He gathered his spiritual power on the palm of his right hand, and then suddenly stretched forward.
The queen insect had never expected Lu Ren to react so quickly.
When it realized the danger and wanted to escape, Lu Ren's palm had already wrapped it tightly, and the majestic spiritual power was like countless sharp blades, strangling the queen insect to death in an instant.
However, there was no change.
The two ends of the city gate were still exactly the same mirror image.
Lu Ren frowned:"Isn't this queen insect the key to breaking the situation?"
He has tried almost all methods, but he still can't get rid of the dilemma of this mirror world.
What is the problem?
The poisonous insects and puppets are all dead, and now this is an empty city with nothing.
How can I leave?
Lu Ren looked up at the dark night sky above his head without stars or moon. Could it be that it can only be broken by brute force?
But with his current realm, he can't do this at all.
Just when Lu Ren felt extremely confused, a little girl with a dirty face came over from the other end of the city gate.
She blinked her big, lively eyes, stretched out a small hand towards Lu Ren, and shouted crisply:"Uncle, my father asked you to come to our house for dinner. My mother has prepared a large table of delicious food!"
As she spoke, she took out a small cloth bag filled with coins with her other hand, and smiled, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth.
"Look! My father gave me money to buy the best wine to treat you, uncle."
Lu Ren stood under the city gate, at the junction of the two worlds, staring at the little girl thoughtfully.
""Who are you?" He didn't move, but just asked softly.
The little girl looked at him puzzledly:"Uncle Lu, I'm Li Yingzi, don't you recognize me?"
She pouted, her expression seemed a little aggrieved and dissatisfied
"Li Yingzi?" Lu Ren repeated the name several times and found that he really had no impression of it.
Wait a minute!
His eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of something.
They all had the surname Li and were about eight or nine years old. They also invited him to their home for dinner..........
Lu Ren immediately guessed her identity:"Your father is Li Zhuang? The owner of the blacksmith shop?"
"Yes!" Li Yingzi nodded, and couldn't wait to go forward and hold Lu Ren's hand, urging him:"Uncle Lu, let's go quickly, if you don't go back, the food will be cold."
Lu Ren stood at the goal line, slowly raised his right foot, but was reluctant to put it down.
""Uncle Lu, what's wrong with you?" Li Yingzi raised her little head and said angrily,"Do you look down on the simple meals cooked by my parents?"
Lu Ren did not respond, but looked at her lively big eyes and felt the warmth transmitted from her little hand.
This Li Yingzi is not a puppet!
In other words, there may be poisonous insects in her body, but at least her consciousness has not been invaded.
The eyes of those people Lu Ren had seen before, including the crazy Li Zhuang, were numb without exception, and no human emotions could be seen.
But the little girl in front of him, the daughter of Li Zhuang, was clearly a lively person.
He suddenly turned around and looked behind him. The streets were empty and there was no one.
Strange, when the defenders surrounded and killed him before, it was an absolute mirror image. Why did it disappear now?
Lu Ren looked at both ends of the city gate with a heavy gaze, and finally fell on Li Yingzi.
The mirror images are all human-shaped puppets that are completely dead, and only the living are unique.
For example, he, and........Lee Young-ja
""Can you see anything outside the city gate?"
Lu Ren asked a seemingly strange but extremely important question.
Li Yingzi's eyes flickered, and she tilted her head, looking around Lu Ren's body and looking outside the city gate.
Then, she curled her lips and said strangely,"There's nothing."
"So is that a street you see or what?"
"Uncle Lu, you haven't even had any drink yet, how come you're already drunk?" Li Yingzi scolded him mercilessly,"Where are the streets outside the city? It's just a dirt road, and in the distance are mountains."
When Lu Ren heard this, he seemed a little stunned.
The scene he saw was not the same as what Li Yingzi saw!
Was she lying, or were his eyes deceiving him?
Could it be that this fake mirrored empty city was just a trick from the beginning to the end, and was not as complicated as he imagined?
Lu Ren closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and then opened his eyes again.
A dazzling light appeared in front of him.
After adapting for a while, he finally saw everything around him clearly.
It was daybreak!
He was still standing under the city gate, but the weird mirrored world had disappeared, and what appeared in front of him was the original appearance of Shanyin City.
Outside the city gate, the guards were routinely checking the people entering and leaving.
Those humanoid puppets he had killed were now standing alive in front of him.
Looking at those familiar faces, Lu Ren's confusion deepened.
What was going on?
He Why are they all still alive?
Lu Ren should be happy to see them alive. After all, there are hundreds of living lives.
But he couldn't be happy at all.
How could someone who was obviously dead come back to life?
Was everything he saw before an illusion, or was the scene in front of him the same?
Lu Ren felt a headache and could no longer distinguish between reality and falsehood.
At this moment, wherever he looked, people were gathering and bustling. What a prosperous scene!
Lu Ren carefully looked at everyone who passed by him and found that they showed no signs of being controlled by the insect.
He couldn't help but fall into deep self-doubt.
If what he saw before him was real, then what about everything he had seen in the mirror world before?
Could it be that the facts were not what he imagined.
Wang Min was not the mastermind behind the scenes, and he didn't want to endanger the lives of the people in the city?
""Uncle Lu, why are you still in a daze? If you don't go back, my parents will scold me." Li Yingzi complained in a low voice.
Lu Ren retracted his gaze and said apologetically:"Uncle was a little distracted just now, sorry, let's go."
""Yeah." Li Yingzi nodded, then took his hand and walked towards the city.
Soon, the two arrived at a tavern. Li Yingzi, a smart kid, went in and chatted with the boss skillfully, and ordered two kilograms of the most expensive soju.
Carrying the wine out, Li Yingzi saw Lu Ren's eyes fixed on the wine pot. She couldn't help pursing her lips and asked with a smile:"Uncle Lu, are you greedy? How about a taste first?"
Lu Ren nodded slightly, took the wine pot from her hand, and poured a sip into his mouth.
Of course, he was not greedy for the taste of the wine, but wanted to verify a doubt in his heart.
After the soju went into his mouth, he felt that his throat was as painful as being cut by a blade, with a strong burning sensation and a strong aroma of wine.
Such a real feeling can never be fake.
In other words, he is indeed in the real Shanyin County now.
The people and things around him are also real.
On the way home with Li Yingzi, Lu Ren began to sort out his thoughts secretly.
I remember that I found Wang Min on , so he decided to go out of the city to pass on the news to the Demon Suppression Division.
But before he left the city, it got abnormally dark, and there was no sign of civilians on the streets of the city.
It was at that time that he entered the mirror world, and was trapped in it for several days.
As for how he got out, Lu Ren still hasn't found the answer.
Is it related to his killing of the queen insect, or did the person behind the scenes take the initiative to let him out?
In any case, he must get to the bottom of this matter.
But before that, let's go back with Li Yingzi to have a simple meal.
After an incense stick, Lu���Arriving in front of a house in a busy neighborhood
""Uncle Lu, this is my home, let's go in."
Lu Ren looked up. Although this house was not as good as Lin Jinyan's private house, it was still quite good.
It was not very grand, but at least it was spacious and beautiful.
Li Zhuang was a blacksmith, and the profit from making weapons and selling them was considerable.
In this small county town, he undoubtedly belonged to a relatively wealthy family, and there was nothing surprising about buying such a house. As soon as he entered the door, Li Zhuang and his wife, a woman who looked particularly simple, came out to greet him.
""Mr. Lu, please come in, the food is ready."
Lu Ren's eyes lingered on the two's faces for a moment, then he smiled and nodded, casually greeted them, and walked into the house with the happy family of three.
On the dining table were several plates of steaming, brightly colored dishes, both meat and vegetables, with a fragrant aroma.
After Lu Ren sat down, Li Zhuang asked his daughter to pour him some wine.
"Mr. Lu, it is my honor that you can visit my humble home. Today, we must drink until we are drunk."Lu Ren shook his head and chuckled,"This is your home. Where can you go even if you are drunk?"
Li Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Mr. Lu, I'll drink this glass of wine first as a token of my respect!".........
After three rounds of drinking, the dishes were almost finished.
Li Zhuang's wife and daughter left the table early and were playing with the dog in the yard.
Li Zhuang's face was red and he looked drunk.
"Mr. Lu, have another drink!"
Seeing that he was about to pour himself a drink, Lu Ren quickly reached out to stop him.
"Stop drinking"
"No, keep drinking, I'm not satisfied yet."
Lu Ren looked at him deeply and asked,"Li Zhuang, when did I go to the blacksmith shop to find you?"
"Didn't we just meet this afternoon? Master Lu is really a forgetful person, haha!"
Hearing this, Lu Ren's expression gradually became serious.
At this moment, the sky outside was a normal dusk scene.
In other words, it has been less than half a day since he first went to the blacksmith shop to meet Li Zhuang and discovered the secret about Wang Min?
No!
He has been trapped in the mirror world for several days, and he knows the feeling of time passing slowly.
Lu Ren didn't believe that Wang Min or the mastermind behind the scenes was powerful enough to change the speed of time in the two worlds at will.
Compared with Li Zhuang's words, Lu Ren was more willing to believe his own personal experience and feelings.
He slowly stood up, looked at Li Zhuang indifferently, and said,"Why did you lie to me?"
Li Zhuang stood up, his drunken face full of doubts:"Master Lu, when did I lie to you?"
"We clearly met a few days ago, why did you say we met this afternoon?"
"I........"Li Zhuang's eyes dodged, and he seemed a little nervous and at a loss,"Mr. Lu, you must have remembered it wrongly, we did meet today."
Lu Ren snorted coldly, and pointed out a doubt that he had never exposed before:"Then how did your daughter recognize me?"
Even if Li Zhuang did not lie, he had never seen his daughter at all. How could Li Yingzi recognize him at a glance from so many people passing by the city gate?
Lu Ren had always been suspicious about this, but he had not exposed it for the purpose of finding out the truth.
Now, Li Zhuang can no longer justify himself, and Lu Ren naturally does not need to continue acting.
Li Zhuang explained:"When you came to the store, my daughter happened to pass by outside and saw you, but you didn't notice it."
Lu Ren hesitated.
This explanation was barely acceptable, but he would not easily believe anything anyone said.
Moreover, the first person he saw when he came out of the mirror world was Li Yingzi.
It was also her words that made him see the real world again.
No matter how you look at it, her appearance seemed to be carefully planned.
Lu Ren looked at the girl squatting on the ground in the yard playing with the puppy, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
I really hope all this is true........
Despite Li Zhuang's strong persuasion, he resolutely left the Li family.
Walking on the busy and noisy street, Lu Ren once again raised his head and looked at the sky which had completely darkened.
Tonight, the moon was bright and the stars were dotted. Suddenly
, Lu Ren's eyes became sharp.........Only half a round!
