Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 2: Inside and Outside
Yang Xu looked at his right hand, which was half submerged in the mirror, feeling confused and uncertain.

He remembered clearly that he had studied mirrors countless times during the day, and all the mirrors were in a solid state, and this situation had never occurred.

The palm passed through the mirror, but it did not come out from the back of the mirror, but disappeared directly into the real world.

But he was sure that his hand was still there, connected to his wrist, and his fingers could move normally. He did not feel anything unusual. It just disappeared in the mirror. It was obvious that there was an extra space inside the mirror.

After a brief hesitation, thinking that the disaster was inevitable, Yang Xu made up his mind and moved closer to the mirror. From his right arm to his body, he entered the mirror without any hindrance.

The moment I passed through the mirror, a slight coolness swept through my whole body.

When Yang Xu opened his eyes again, he was stunned for a moment.

He was still standing in his room, with the full-length mirror behind him. Except that the light was dim, everything around him was exactly the same as he remembered his home.

But Yang Xu immediately realized that something was wrong.

Inverted!

Things that should be on the left appear on the right, things on the right go to the left, and everything itself appears to be flipped left to right.

"It really is a world in a mirror..."

Yang Xu glanced down at his hands. He had come in with the axe in his left hand, but now it was in his right. Not only were the objects in the room mirrored, but he himself was mirrored as well.

A line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Notes for Mirror World Administrators - Click to read.]

This is a line of small red words, and the last four words "Click to read" appear in the shape of a button in the upper right corner of Yang Xu's field of vision.

He tried to turn his head, but the words moved along with his perspective, as if they were directly imprinted on his retina.

Yang Xu stretched out his finger and pointed at the word "reading" in the air.

The original text disappeared, and more text appeared one after another.

The mirror world is a mirrored world that is connected to the real world and reflects reality. There are no living people in the mirror world, only various ghosts and monsters wandering in it.

[Theoretically, from ancient times to the present, all terrifying and harmful creatures imagined and created by humans, and widely circulated, will actually materialize in the mirror world. These creatures are collectively known as "mirror ghosts."]

[Under normal circumstances, creatures from the two worlds can only live in their own worlds, with no way to travel between them. However, there are a very small number of lucky humans who are chosen by the Mirror World and gain the right to enter the Mirror World and walk freely within it.]

By hunting down mirror ghosts and excavating relics buried beneath the Mirror World, these individuals can gain extraordinary powers unimaginable to ordinary people. These individuals possessing extraordinary abilities are collectively referred to as 'Mirror World Administrators'.

Before officially becoming an administrator, please keep in mind the following administrator rules:

1. Administrators are responsible for protecting their respective "territories" within the Mirror World, promptly clearing out any "Mirror Ghosts" that appear within their territory daily, and ensuring that the real world is free of Mirror Ghost invasions. Each Mirror Ghost must be eliminated within 48 hours of its appearance, otherwise it will overflow into the real world.

2. The daily opening hours of the Mirror World are from 18:00 to 6:00 the next day in the local time zone. Administrators who remain in the Mirror World after the time limit will be automatically kicked out to the corresponding location in the real world.

3. Failure to clean up the territory mirror ghosts in a timely manner, killing other administrators, or using supernatural powers to bully and harm ordinary people will increase the "deviation value". If the deviation value changes too much, the administrator will be marked as a red-name administrator and his real-time location will be disclosed to other administrators in the city.

4. You must not expose your extraordinary abilities or reveal any contents of the mirror world in front of ordinary people. If you accidentally reveal your abilities, you can use your points to redeem the "Eliminate Influence" service.

"Mirror Ghost...Administrator..."

Yang Xu read the page carefully several times, silently digesting the huge information contained in it.

Judging from these explanations, there should be many people in the world who can see the red and green countdown and enter the mirror like him. And these people can gain various extraordinary abilities through the mirror world...

The word "supernormal ability" immediately reminded Yang Xu of the various strange phenomena that happened to his grandmother.

Now he seriously suspected that his grandmother had once been an administrator, and her ability to maintain a weak presence might have been acquired from the mirror world.

And if this is true, then my grandmother’s sudden death three years ago is a bit strange.

Was it really just a medical accident? Yang Xu couldn't help but speculate. The administrator's words shouldn't have been so easy to cause death in an accident, right? And then there was the message his grandmother left him a month before she died, as if she already knew she was dying...

No matter what, now that he has become the administrator, he should be able to find clues related to his grandmother in the mirror world.

Yang Xu secretly made up his mind and turned his attention back to the text.

Below the text on this page, there is a button option. [I have read the above rules and apply to become an administrator.]

Yang Xu pointed at the void.

All the text disappeared and a new panel popped up in front of him.

【New administrator registration successful.】

……

This thing similar to a 'personal panel' seems to be standard for all administrators.

Yang Xu originally wanted to study the contents on the panel, but when he glanced at it, all he saw was none, 0, and not unlocked, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

After closing the panel, Yang Xu looked up and around.

There was no light in the room, and it was dark inside.

Yang Xu walked to the wall and turned off the light switch, but the light did not respond.

Look at the surrounding electrical appliances, computers, refrigerators, routers... the indicator lights of all electronic devices are off, and it seems that the circuit system of this world is not working at all.

The clock on the wall pointed to six o'clock, and the hour, minute and second hands were all motionless.

It seemed that from six o'clock in the afternoon, all objects in this mirror world were frozen and lost synchronization with the outside world.

Yang Xu took out his cell phone. He had brought it from the real world, and it worked fine except for the lack of signal.

Yang Xu used his cell phone as a flashlight and walked around the house.

He soon discovered that everything in this world seemed to be just a form without substance. Matches couldn't be struck, lighters couldn't start a fire, and the food in the refrigerator was just hard models that were inedible.

I went to the kitchen and turned on the faucet, but there was still no response.

"There's not even any water source?" Yang Xu was speechless. It seemed that he would have to prepare food and water before coming in every day.

There was a faint light coming from the direction of the balcony. Yang Xu walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked outside.

It was almost seven o'clock, and the sky was already completely dark in reality, but outside the window of this world it was still dusk at six o'clock.

There were many cars parked on the road downstairs, but no one was in sight.

If Yang Xu were asked to evaluate the biggest difference between the mirror world and the real world, it would be that there are no people in this world, not even any living creatures, not even the chirping of insects or birds, the whole world is immersed in a strange silence.
