Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

~Swish!

The 2 were on the move.

Dorian's counterpart flew on his black giant fan while Dorian leaped across the overly broken floor.

He leaped over many fallen pillars and ruined spaces with an expressionless face.

But suddenly, the ground broke.

Boom!

Dorian kicked back on the already piece, jumping high up in the air.

"Fun, isn't it."

Dorian didn't bother to try, focusing on the hell-hole below him.

The whole was more than 3 stories down, with its sides still sizzling with yellowish fares around the perimeters of the massive hole.

And right at the very bottom, he could see a burning stagnant pool of water with deadly vapor that could run a mortal if they stood too close to the place for more than a minute.

Ruined police structures, dust, bones, desks, tables, broken down furniture and even clicking light bulbs... Dorian noted it all.

The mirror world created mirror images of everything, including a pen. Anything that a mirror could reflect would have its counterpart here.

It was just that laminate objects would also be inanimate here.

Only counterpart animals and humans were alive in this world.

Sure enough, Dorian saw shadow rodents crawling within the space, as well as the shadows of the police and F.B.I officers in the mortal world who should also be standing or sitting in the same positions where these shadows were.

The couple was in here on the very bottom floor somewhere.

Time was ticking.

He had to find them fast!

~Puff!

Dorian vanished.

.

Meanwhile, in a very secluded area within the incredibly massive broken-down facility, an elderly couple was currently holding on to themselves in horror.

Their hair was disheveled, and their breathing heavy.

They had visible bags under their eyes from distress.

That's right. They had been in hell all this time. And after a long search, they finally found a place beyond the reach of those Monsters!

That's right.

It's only been a little over a day in the mortal world. But for them, it's been 5 whole days!

The man felt he had turned a hundred years older than he was because of it all.

He and his wife were very simple people with good hearts.

To change them to evil was truly a hard feat.

Nonetheless, since he came to this place, there have been strange voices in his head, telling him to do this and that.

'Kill. Kill. Kill!'

Those were the words resounding in his brain.

It wanted him to mill and grow insane with murderous thoughts.

But how can he do it?

He would rather kill himself than take a life.

.

The 57-year-old lady looked at her husband I'm distress.

"Will we ever get out of here?"

The old man rocked her back and forth, placing a fierce kiss on her forehead.

"Believe Mai... What are humans without hope and belief?"

The woman bit her lip, nodding very slowly.

They both knew that they weren't in the real world anymore.

First, they were both dragged into the mirror. And they watched their counterparts smile and step into the real world right before their very eyes.

If someone had told them that such a thing was possible, they would think the person was crazed.

What was more horrible was that their counterparts had also sworn to destroy everything important to them, including their children and 5-year-old grandson.

Tears trickled down their faces when thinking of all the horrors they went through these past few days.

Day 1, they were beaten, scratched and tormented to near insanity.

Day 2, they got burnt and scarred by some evil stream of water that seemed to have a million showers inside.

Day 3 and 4, they began to defend themselves but still got unlucky, with that voice constantly forcing them to kill.

What was even more alarming was that the voice wanted them to kill one another.

.

The ultimate test.

The couple couldn't do it. Maybe if they stayed here for years, they would change and give up their hope in someone coming for them.

However, it's just been 5 days.

Mind you, a year in the mortal world would be 5 years here.

A lot can change... Especially if one had also lost hope in humanity.

The voice in their heads constantly tried to push them to the wall.

[Hahahahha~... You are funny. Your many armed forces in your world know you are here. Many humans have been pushed in here, but your people have never bothered to save them.

Humanity is rotten... Humanity is rotten.

Why hope for them to save you?

You are just going to die anyway.

So do it... Kill your partner, and I will set you free!~~]

'No!... Get out of my head!'

The couple both cried, fighting with themselves and the shadows.

Kill each other to get out of here?

Could they really do it?

.

The human mind could always change, and that's what each other feared.

The seed was planted.

And the longer they stayed here, the less trust they would have for one another.

In future, both parties might even try killing themselves when they sleep.

In this world, they realized that they were neither hungry nor needed to relieve themselves with bathrooms.

The only thing they could say was that after 4 days, their bodies needed sleep.

That's why yesterday, they could take rotational periods of sleep, 4 hours each.

For now, they still lived and trusted none another, believing that since the government knew of this place, they would definitely send people in to save them.

The police and enlisted forces were the protectors of the nation.

The couple who had a positive outtake in life chose to believe in their rescue.

"Mai... Just you wait. Someone will come for us."

~Boom!

As if on cue, a massive sound echoed out.

Following that, a pair of eyes shone brightly, the closer it moved.

The faces of the couple stretched out in a grim horror.

"Mia! Get behind me!"
