Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 5 The First Prop

Real-world weapons are ineffective against these mirror ghosts! To kill them, you need special weapons!

Yang Xu cursed inwardly, he finally managed to pause time, but was told that he couldn't break the defense. He was a newcomer who had just entered the mirror world, so where could he get special weapons now?

and many more……

When he was in close contact with the monster, Yang Xu suddenly noticed three gaps on the lower left rib of the wall monster.

The length of these wounds was over 20 centimeters, obviously caused by some kind of blade. Although the wounds were not deep, they at least cut through the surface of the wall, exposing the flesh and blood tissue inside.

This means there is something nearby that can hurt the monster.

What is it?
Yang Xu subconsciously recalled the corpse he had just seen, or to be exact, the knife in the corpse's hand.

Think about the shape of the hatchet, it seems to fit the wound in front of him very well.

"That hatchet is a 'prop'?!"

Yang Xu vaguely felt that he had grasped an opportunity to survive.

There was no time to think about it, four seconds of the five-second time stop had passed.

Fortunately, the monster jumped up because of the attack, leaving a certain gap under its body, giving Yang Xu a chance to escape.

Taking advantage of the last second, Yang Xu leaned over and crawled out from under the monster, then ran out with big strides.

The 5-second pause arrived quickly and everything resumed.

Tu Bi raised his front paw and it landed on the ground with a loud bang, causing bricks and stones to crack and clouds of dust to splash.

By the time Tu Bi realized that his prey had escaped and turned around to chase out of the building with a roar, Yang Xu had already run forty meters away, heading straight for the garbage station.

The cooling time of time stop is thirty seconds, so he needs to delay for at least half a minute before the monster catches up with him. Without the help of time stop, even if he gets the hatchet, he will not be able to defeat this monster.

Yang Xu burst out at the fastest speed in his life, rushed into the garbage dump and headed straight for the corpse.

During this process, he could hear the roar of the monster behind him and the sound of trash cans being knocked over by the monster, which was getting closer and closer.

Yang Xu didn't have time to look back at the monster's situation, so he could only run desperately.

Finally, he saw the body again.

He didn't dare to approach the corpse just now because he was afraid that the other party was some kind of mirror ghost in disguise. But now that the real mirror ghost has appeared, he no longer has to worry.

Yang Xu rushed into the garbage station, ignoring the mutilated body on the ground, snatched the hatchet from the corpse's hand, and quickly retreated to the back.

The hatchet felt cold to the touch, with a faint white fluorescence on the surface. It was much heavier than expected. Yang Xu quickly changed to holding the knife with both hands so that he could hold it firmly.

As soon as you pick up the hatchet, a string of information will automatically pop up on the panel.

【Rusty hatchet】

[Type: Weapon]

[Affiliation: Eighth Era]

[Quality: Ordinary]

This lasts for 60 seconds (unusable if the conditions are not met)]

"It really is a 'prop'!"

Yang Xu didn't have time to read the instructions carefully. He took a quick glance at it and after confirming that it could be used, he looked up hurriedly. The wall-painted monster in the distance had followed him into the garbage station.

Time stop cooling, okay?

Yang Xu didn't know that in such a tense and frantic run, he couldn't concentrate on counting seconds at all. He just vaguely felt that it should be enough. Even if it wasn't enough, there was no other way.

Yang Xu gripped the hilt of his knife tightly with both hands, turned around and faced the rushing Mirror Ghost. He stared directly at the face of the monster on the wall, watching as the two palms as big as palm leaves got closer and closer to his face...

Finally, time stop is activated again!
Everything froze again. This time, Tu Bi hovered two meters in front of Yang Xu, a little far away.

Yang Xu hurriedly stepped forward, swung his sword with both hands, and chopped it down hard, aiming directly at the mirror ghost's two eyeballs.

The eyes are the most fragile organ in most living things, and are related to vision, the most important of the five senses.

So when you are not sure where the vulnerable part is, it is definitely a good idea to poke the eyes!
Yang Xu didn't care and slashed at the mirror ghost's eyes as fast as he could.

But when he actually started to attack, he found that the hatchet seemed to have a strange resistance that limited his swinging speed. Whenever he wanted to exert force to speed up his attack, the blade would instantly become heavy, forcing his attack frequency back to a certain fixed level.

During the five-second time stop, he only managed to slash three times.

In the last half second, Yang Xu had to retract his strength and jump to the side to avoid being knocked down by the recovered monster.

The next moment, time resumed flowing.

Tu Bi fell down, but lost his balance and hit his head on the concrete floor. He struggled violently on the spot and wailed continuously.

"Success?"

Yang Xu was delighted when he saw the monster's chaotic movements. Although there were only three strikes, it was enough to cause some damage to the monster's vision.

Yang Xu did not dare to be careless. He stood up and quickly moved away from where he was. Without time stopping, he was like a piece of cake in front of this monster. The other party could kill him with a slap.

He now vaguely understood what was going on with the corpse.

If I'm not mistaken, that person should be the previous administrator of this territory.

The administrator encountered Tu Bi in the territory and a fight broke out between the two sides. During the fight, the administrator injured Mirror Ghost with a prop hatchet, but this man did not have such a miraculous ability as time stop. None of the three cuts hit the vital parts, which did not hurt Tu Bi at all. In the end, he was easily beaten to death by Tu Bi.

Yang Xu figured everything out in the blink of an eye, and became even more determined not to approach the monster before the time stop was restored.

On the other side, the monster's vision was damaged, but it had not completely disappeared. As soon as Yang Xu moved, Tu Bi immediately captured his position, suddenly turned over and got up, rushing towards him again.

Fortunately, after his eyesight was damaged, Tu Bi's ability to grasp the direction was greatly reduced. In addition, Yang Xu moved swiftly and constantly adjusted the direction, making it impossible for the monster to catch up.

Soon, half a minute passed.

To be on the safe side, Yang Xu waited for a few more seconds until he was sure that the cooldown of the time stop had ended. Then he stood still and waited for the monster to rush towards him.

After the first two time stops, Yang Xu now has some experience in the timing of initiating the time stop. This time, he accurately made the mirror ghost stop about half a meter in front of him, which is the position where he can exert force most easily.

As soon as time stopped, Yang Xu swung his knife and chopped, his target still being the eyes.

With the experience of having his attack speed restricted just now, Yang Xu did not swing the hatchet forcefully this time. That would only be a waste of energy. He maintained a moderate force and chopped steadily.

In five seconds, he almost slashed out four times.

Afterwards, he was not greedy at all. He rolled over before the time stop ended and retreated far away, leaving the monster alone to roar and howl in the place.

Then Yang Xu did the same thing. After stopping time three times in a row, Tu Bi's eyesight was obviously completely destroyed, and he was spinning around like a headless fly.

The battle became much simpler, but Yang Xu was not careless. He used the time stop as soon as it was ready, ran away after chopping, and never fought to the end. The monster did not touch the corner of his clothes once during the whole process.

After a few minutes, Tu Bi's entire body was chopped into a bloody mess by Yang Xu.

But even so, the monster's vitality was so tenacious that Yang Xu was shocked.

He stopped nineteen times and chopped the thing more than seventy times.

Finally, after the last time stop, Tu Bi stopped struggling and wailed. Instead, his body fell to the ground with a bang, and he died in the flying smoke and dust.
