Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Angles right, bodies reflected.

The surfaces of the mirrors rippled like a mirage.

Now!

"Gwwwwww~"

What?

The creatures felt dizzy with disbelief, finding that they couldn't move at all.

Dammit!

What did this Mortal do to them?

Pain. Pain.

A deep pain bore into their backs, making them drop to their knees unwillingly.

They were so close to killing this bastard!

They shook and tried to get rid of the invisible binds holding them back but found it was of no use.

Master…

It was only now that their useless brains had thought of connecting with their master. However, they were greatly disappointed when they couldn't connect with him.

No!

What happened?

Has their master gone back to the underworld?

'Master, master... Where are you?'

'Graaaahhhh~'

The pain was truly unbearable.

And those watching all stared at the situation, forgetting to breathe.

In particular, they focused on the strange rippling effect above.

"Deputy Director! Look! Look at the mirrors!"

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

The surface of the mirrors began to drip like water droplets, falling onto the creatures directly below them.

Mommy…

A scary layer of frost slowly stretched itself across the office walls, creeping and crawling in all directions like a vein.

The scene was something straight out of a horror movie!

The frost moved up to the ceiling, finally reaching the transparent coverings protecting the light rods.

Treak!

It completely squeezed the covering, forming cracks on the surface. And then, there was dimness.

The room became darker than before the more the mirror droplets fell onto the creatures.

Tap Tap. Tap.

The creatures were forced to turn their faces upwards, allowing the droplets to fully cover them.

And the moment their faces were masked, the droplets moved like lightning, spreading to all other regions of their bodies.

Dammit!

This was bullying!

.

1, 2, 3… 5 seconds later, the creatures were fully covered by the droplets.

Boom!

A loud explosive sound echoed out, causing everyone to step back subconsciously.

Bubuum.

Looking at the current mirror surfaces, Bewoh's heart throbbed wildly. It wasn't just him, as everyone felt choked with fear, peering into the mirrors with widened eyes.

The image reflected this same room they were in. However, the room was more or less like a doomsday room, having burning flames and all sorts of broken pieces all scattered around.

What was more frightening was that they could all see their doppelgangers smiling creepily at them from beyond!

This was the mirror world!

It was a mirror reflection of their current world, but much, much, much worse!

No matter where one stood or what angle they positioned themselves while looking into the mirror world, they would be able to see their counterparts.

Everyone, except Donghai, Leah and the other 2 had doppelgangers shown on the mirrors.

Haru looked at his crazed and horrifying twin, feeling his tongue roll at the back of his throat.

[I see you~]

Those were the words he read from its lips.

And without knowing it, he grabbed his protective pendant on his neck.

For the first time in his life, the thing he most feared was himself.

"Brother Bewoh, I don't think I'll be able to look into another mirror again."

'Hmmm…" Bewoh was also having such thoughts.

Even if he did look into one, it wouldn't be long.

'Should I buy mirror covers for every time I want to take a shower?'

Everyone was internally debating on this matter. But how could it be that simple?

Xiang Shore almost took out a cigarette, wanting to smoke and relieve himself from it all.

"Grandmaster… what exactly are we seeing?"

"The Mirror world," Dorian said, levitating 8 coins around him with closed eyes.

"There exists a mirror world. The world is vicious and cruel. Everyone, excluding you 4, should have already seen your doppelgangers."

Xiang Shore shuddered after peeking at the overly scarred creature that was waving at him viciously.

No, take it back! He didn't want a doppelganger!

(T0T)

The more Xiang Shore saw the more he felt betrayed by the world itself.

.

"Grandmaster, can the doppelgangers harm us?"

"More or less. But they need the help of a creature!"

Boom!

Dorian's words made everyone firm their decision to buy mirror covers before they got home. No! Can it also come from their car mirrors?

They had no tears but wanted to cry the more they listened to Dorian.

In essence, these doublegangers aren't per se real in the sense that they wouldn't be able to harm or move from the mirror plane to this one… unless… they had the help of an underworld being.

It was a little tricky to explain, but those from the mirror world were neither human nor underworld creatures.

They were an entirely different category that was more or less linked to one's shadow.

Heh. The shadow might look useless to many in the mortal world. But who would've known that the shadows were roaming about in the mirror world?

Every reflection, be it on a cup, a stream of water or any other surface, was the gateway into the mirror/shadow world.

And who can know you better than your shadow?

Shadows. Shadows…. Now everyone was terrified, feeling that they could one day be betrayed by the dark images that always followed them everywhere.

Who knew that their shadows hated them this much?

"All shadows want to escape and cause carnage into the mortal world. But they need the help of a creature to do so." Dorian said, tilting his head towards the creatures before him.

Looking at the faces of these shells, the others didn't know, but these shells wore the shadows like face masks., allowing them to peer into the situation with the real victims inside.

The shadows must've struck a deal with the creature that would only come into effect after the victims died.

The creature wanted to feast on the victim, while the shadow wished for freedom from the victim.

Whether it was Haru, Bewoh, Donghai, Leah or Xiang Shore, no one could ever look at their shadows the same way again!
