Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 3: First Exploration of the Mirror World

After exploring the room, Yang Xu decided to go downstairs to take a look.

I pushed the door open and walked out, the corridor was also dark.

The light swept across the corridor. The door of Room 601 next door was ajar, but not closed.

Yang Xu did not dare to be careless. He knew that this world was not really without living creatures. According to the novice's guide, there were many "mirror ghosts" wandering around in this world, and their administrator's job was to eliminate the monsters in time to prevent them from running into the real world and causing damage.

Walking quietly to the door of Room 601, Yang Xu gripped the axe handle with one hand and stretched out the other hand to slowly push open the door.

The imagined scene of a monster suddenly rising from behind the door did not appear, and the entrance was empty.

Yang Xu walked in and searched the house quickly, and soon confirmed that there was no living thing in the house.

However, when he arrived at the bedroom of Room 601, he saw a living person for the first time in the mirror in front of the dressing table.

It was a young woman dressed in cool clothes, but she was not the neighbor he knew next door. At this moment, the woman was in front of the dressing table in the real world, applying lipstick in front of the mirror. At the same time, the sound of running water came from the direction of the bathroom, and the outline of a man was vaguely visible.

Yang Xu knew that a middle-aged couple lived in Room 601 next door. When he went to borrow a mirror in the morning, the hostess was dragging a suitcase and seemed to be going on a long journey.

The hostess had just left in the morning, and another woman came to the house in the evening. You can tell what was going on without having to think about it.

Yang Xu was not interested in other people's gossip. At this moment, he moved closer to the mirror, put his face close to the mirror, and stared straight at the woman opposite the mirror.

At this distance, if the other party could see him, he would definitely react.

I stared at it for half a minute, but the woman in the mirror was just humming a tune and putting on makeup with a relaxed look on her face. There was nothing unusual from beginning to end.

"It seems that in the mirror world, you can see the real world through the mirror, but people in the real world can't see this side."

When Yang Xu came to this conclusion, his face suddenly froze.

Because in this case, someone might have observed him through the mirror in his home without his knowledge.

Thinking about how every time he looked in the mirror, there might be a pair, or even many pairs of eyes staring at him from the other side of the mirror, Yang Xu felt a chill all over his body.

Think carefully!

……

Naturally, the elevators in this world cannot be used.

After leaving Room 601, Yang Xu walked down the stairs.

The scene downstairs is exactly the same as in reality, except that left and right are completely reversed.

The sky was foggy. Unlike the real world with clear colors and distinct layers, everything in this world was shrouded in a dim light blue hue. Coupled with the fact that there was no one around, it looked dead.

Yang Xu walked straight along the main road and tried to walk out of the community.

As a result, as he arrived at the gate of the community, an invisible wall of air appeared in front of him, like the boundary of space, blocking his way.

Outside the air wall, there is a layer of white mist, and it is so white that you can't tell what is real or fake.

At this moment, a line of text automatically appeared in front of my eyes.

【We have reached the border of the territory.】

A territory map automatically appeared below the prompt. On the map were nine square 'plots', each of which was a standard square of 200 meters * 200 meters. They were joined together in a nine-square grid, forming a square area with a side length of 600 meters, which was exactly the area he had explored while riding his bike during the day.

"I see……"

Yang Xu understood. It seemed that the only area he could move around in the mirror world was the area where he couldn't look in the mirror normally in reality. This area was his so-called "territory".

At this time, in this nine-square territory map, the two middle plots are shown as "excavated", and the other plots are "unexcavated".

In addition, there are two light spots displayed on the map, one green and one gray.

Judging from the location, the green dot of light should be referring to himself, while the gray dot is on the "excavated" plot in the middle. "What is this gray dot?"

There is no explanation on the map, but judging from the orientation on the map, this gray dot is very close to his current location. He should be able to see it as long as he passes the corner of the residential building in front.

Yang Xu picked up his axe, quietly stepped across the grass in the middle, and came to the wall of the building in front. He carefully stuck half of his head out, looked over the wall, and looked into the distance.

Then he saw a scene that caused him to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest.

In the community garbage station a hundred meters away, a person, or rather a corpse, was lying in a pool of sewage. He died in a miserable state, with his organs completely damaged.

The corpse was holding a rusty hatchet.

Not far from the body, there was a half-dug pit with a shovel lying beside it.

Yang Xu's pupils contracted as he watched, and he quickly retreated behind the wall, alarm bells ringing in his heart.

Who is this person and why is he in his territory?

Judging from the way the other party died, it seemed as if he had been eaten by some wild beast.

But there are no pure 'beasts' in this world...

So, there is a mirror ghost in his territory now?

Yang Xu hurriedly gripped the axe handle and swept it quickly to the left and right.

As far as I can see, I didn't find anything unusual.

This feeling was even more terrifying because he was not sure what he was facing. According to the beginner's manual, all the horrific creatures imagined by humans might appear in this world. The scope was too large.

He didn't dare to check on the corpse at this point, because he wasn't sure if it was actually human. He couldn't rule out the possibility that the corpse was some kind of ghost in disguise, trying to lure him closer...

How to do?
After a brief panic, Yang Xu stood up and quietly retreated along the wall.

According to the administrator's rules, the mirror ghost will not overflow into the real world until 48 hours after it appears. He doesn't know how long this mirror ghost has appeared in the territory, but since there was nothing unusual in reality before, it should not overflow in a short time.

He planned to retreat back to the real world first, ensure his own safety, and then make long-term plans.

Yang Xu crouched down, tiptoed across the grass, and moved towards the door of the building. He was always alert to his surroundings. Fortunately, he was safe throughout the whole process.

Only when he got back to his own building did Yang Xu feel slightly relieved.

Just as he was about to climb the stairs to go upstairs, Yang Xu was suddenly stunned when passing the corridor, and turned to look at the row of mailboxes against the wall of the corridor.

and many more……

Grandma said that someone left something for him in mailbox 602, but he could never find it in the real mailbox.

Could it be that he was wrong from the beginning, and the things were actually placed on this side of the mirror world?

As soon as this idea came to mind, the more Yang Xu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

After looking around and confirming that there was no danger, Yang Xu quickly rushed to the mailbox cabinet, took out the key from his body, looked at the reversed numbers on the cabinet, and quickly locked mailbox 602.

Insert the key and twist in reverse.

The moment the cabinet door opened, a golden light like a shield seemed to emerge, but it did not cause any hindrance to Yang Xu.

A flash of golden light disappeared before Yang Xu could see it clearly, and the cabinet door popped open.

Yang Xu's attention was naturally drawn over there.

At this time, three things were lying quietly inside the box.

A card, an envelope, and a piece of animal skin, stacked on top of each other.
