The main body is SSS-level, and the mirror image is also SSS-level.

Chapter 16 [Midnight Viaduct] and [The Mirror World]

One hour ago.

The dark side.

"Wanwan, are you thirsty?"

Huang Mao Zhou Zhen took out a clean bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Lin Wanwan with a forced smile.

"Thanks."

Lin Wanwan politely accepted the bottled water, then quickly walked to Bo Jin's side, a youthful smile appearing on her delicate face:

"Junior, would you like some water?"

He handed the bottled water in his hand to Bo Jin.

The blond guy behind him: "...???"

"I'm not thirsty."

Bo Jin shook his head and looked up.

Suddenly, an overpass appeared ahead, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Faint, guttural roars could be heard emanating from the densely packed vehicles on the bridge.

……

After forming a team, they entered the white room. Then, with Qin Ran's introduction from the [Fallen Ones Cleansing Organization], Bo Jin chose a normal difficulty [Demon Realm].

This level of demonic realm, where most of the fallen beings are below the second rank, is very suitable for college students to grow and gain experience.

Of course, it is also suitable for upgrading Thin Ash.

Welcome to the [Midnight Overpass] in the game "Demon Realm"!

[Difficulty of Demon Realm: Normal]

[Main Emotion of the Demon Realm Master: Fear]

[Primary Fallen One: Endermen]

Just as Bo Jin and his group of five were walking toward the overpass, a mechanical female voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

This is the unique introduction to the "Demon Realm" within the "Dark Side".

Bo Jin began to listen.

On May 20, 2026, a severe rainstorm hit Quanxing City in the province of Pisces, causing difficulties for vehicles and severe road congestion.

The East District Elevated Road was congested from 9 PM to 1 AM, with the long line of cars remaining stationary, and the water level on the bridge gradually rising.

A sense of unease and panic began to spread across the overpass in the rainy night.

At 1:30 AM, Chu Tianjiao, the Maybach owner who had long been a "Fallen One" and had been hiding in the city, went berserk due to frustration and hunger, and began a massacre.

[It is a second-tier Enderman of the Fear pathway. After getting out of the car, it smashes car windows one by one, indiscriminately killing anyone it sees.]

The overpass, blocked by the rainy night, suddenly became a slaughterhouse for Endermen.

[Frustration and panic transformed into sheer terror amidst the bloodshed, and extreme emotions spread through the endless stream of cars to everyone present.]

Some were killed, some jumped into the river in despair, and some became depraved out of fear.

Ultimately, the overpass became a living hell.

[Introduction complete.]

[Midnight Overpass Walkthrough Rules: Kill 10 Endermen]

Bo Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.

It is now 2030, although four years have passed since the overpass accident.

But just standing here and looking at the pale overpass in the distance, one can almost feel the suffocation and despair of those drivers on that rainy night.

"I'm not thirsty anymore, you can drink it yourself."

At this moment, Lin Wanwan tossed the bottled water back into Huang Mao's arms.

Yellow-haired guy: "...You beast!"

Lin Wanwan turned around, her expression unfriendly: "Who are you talking about?"

The blond-haired man quickly smiled apologetically: "...Wanwan, no, no, I was talking about the Enderman from the Demon Realm introduction."

"He started a massacre while the others couldn't escape; what a beast!"

……

soon.

The five people walked onto the overpass.

An unpleasant, rotten smell filled my nostrils.

Accompanied by a strange roar, a pitch-black hand reached out from the broken car window.

Followed by.

A figure, entirely black with enormous legs, crawled out from the surrounding vehicles.

Bo Jin looked up.

This Enderman is very tall, almost 2.5 meters, but its pair of super long, thin black legs already take up 2 meters.

At first glance, Bo Jin thought it was a chopstick standing upright.

Looking up again...

Oh, it's a person.

What an oddball.

next moment.

The Enderman, who hadn't seen flesh and blood in a long time, charged straight at Bo Jin and his group of five.

The two chopsticks ran very fast.

The ground shook instantly, and the surrounding vehicles began to tremble.

Bo Jin did not move.

A figure suddenly rushed out from behind, and a blue-silver giant hammer slammed into the Enderman's leg!

"Blazing flames consume the heart, the universe is consumed by ashes!"

The blond guy was already furious, and now that he saw the Enderman with a fear level of only 14 coming to his door, he immediately took the initiative to attack in order to vent his anger.

And while he's at it, he'll make a good impression on his goddess.

Faced with a Tier 2 [Berserker] with a rage value of 24, this Tier 1 Enderman was instantly knocked to the ground with a single blow, his head slamming hard into a rusty cart.

He collapsed and couldn't get up.

That wasn't all. The blond guy picked up the blue silver hammer and charged over, swinging it hard at the Enderman's head!

Bang!

After the Enderman stopped moving completely, the blond guy stopped and then took out a small knife to dig out the inner demon of the Fallen One.

"Wanwan! This is for you!"

He handed it to Lin Wanwan like a precious treasure.

"Thank you." Lin Wanwan skillfully took out a tissue to wipe away her inner demons, then stuffed it into her bag.

"Wanwan, are you thirsty now?" The sweaty blond guy pulled the bottle of mineral water out of his backpack again. "Drink some water!"

This time, Lin Wanwan did not refuse and opened the bottle cap to take a sip.

Seeing the goddess drink his water, the blond-haired man was overjoyed, as if he had won a battle. His previous frustration and anger vanished instantly.

"Wanwan, you can stay here and watch over things. I'll go get rid of your inner demon!"

He was overjoyed and took the initiative to fawn over the Endermen, carrying the Blue Silver Hammer and searching for them in one vehicle after another.

Seeing this situation.

Bo Jin sighed softly.

Did you expect that the "simp" culture is so prevalent in this world?

There's really no other way.

Are there really no normal people among these sequencers?

but.

As he watched the blond-haired man blatantly smashing the car, while the surrounding vehicles began to shake, their windows shattered and blackened hands reaching out from them.

Bo Jin nodded.

Fine, let this idiot attract a few more Endermen.

I'm too lazy to bother looking for it myself.

……

soon.

The blond-haired guy got his comeuppance.

After he killed another Tier 1 Enderman, ten more Endermen suddenly emerged from the car window.

The Endermen roared angrily and charged at the blond-haired man!

He watched as ten enormous black "chopstick men" came crashing down on him in a visually striking manner.

The blond-haired man was stunned and turned to run away!

"Wanwan! Help me!"

"Bo Jin! Save me!"

Lin Wanwan shook her head.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly saw Bo Jin walk over alone.

"The line between reality and illusion is blurred, and eternal night engulfs us."

The sequence of proverbs is recited.

Lin Wanwan's face immediately lit up with anticipation.

Will we finally see an S-class destroyer take action?

That must have been earth-shattering, right?

The other couple also perked up, their eyes lighting up, eager to see just how this dignified S-class could dominate everything.

Under the expectant gazes of the three.

Then, countless mirror blades emerged from behind the handsome and refined young man, and then the mirror blades converged and transformed into a circular mirror wheel.

With the mirror wheel in hand, Bo Jin faced the Enderman directly. His posture was upright, and he was calm and composed, so handsome that he seemed to become a ray of light.

Lin Wanwan was stunned: "So handsome..."

But she hadn't finished speaking.

next moment.

The "light" was crushed into pieces by the Enderman's giant chopstick leg.

Bo Jin's figure transformed into countless fragments of mirror, drifting and surging in the wind.

Lin Wanwan: "...???"

The couple: "...Wait, what's going on?"

The blond-haired guy was also dumbfounded.

No, isn't this here to save me?

You're telling me this is S-class?!

But he didn't have time to think too much.

Seeing the Endermen continuing their pursuit, he turned and began to flee again.

But as they walked...

But suddenly he bumped into someone.

Look up.

Holy crap!

The blond-haired man was startled.

Then he saw a blond-haired man who was also wielding a blue silver hammer and was exactly the same height and looked the same as him.

She was smiling at him:

"Hello there."

"Do you need any help?"

……

"What exactly is going on?"

Looking at his exact replica, Huang Mao got goosebumps all over, and his voice even started to tremble.

This is so weird!

"Nothing's wrong, I'm here to rescue you."

"Yellow Hair" carried a meteor hammer and had a smile on his face, looking more polite than the real Yellow Hair.

"Look over there." He gestured for the blond-haired man to look at Lin Wanwan's location.

Startled, the blond-haired man turned his head to look.

Not far away, three people who looked exactly like Lin Wanwan and her two companions suddenly appeared beside them!

The blond guy was completely dumbfounded.

But when he looked up at the sky in despair, he seemed to see something.

The pupils suddenly dilated.

A look of disbelief on his face!

"Grass!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

……

"What are you things?!"

On the other side, Lin Wanwan was also stunned.

The "Lin Wanwan" in front of me had a wicked smile on her lips. Although she looked the same, her temperament was completely different from Lin Wanwan's.

Why?

Why would someone appear who is exactly like themselves?

Zhao Yutang, standing to the side, looked at her copy and subconsciously took a few steps back, but suddenly seemed to bump into something.

Her body trembled.

Why does it feel like I've bumped into a wall when there's nothing behind me?

Looking back is a bit difficult.

It was indeed air, and behind us was a somewhat dilapidated road.

Did you bump into it yourself?

Zhao Yutang stretched out her palm and tried to touch it.

Her expression changed.

No, it's not a wall.

The texture felt like... a mirror?

That's right, it's a mirror!

Before applying makeup, Zhao Yutang always wipes her makeup mirror clean, and the texture of the invisible wall behind her is exactly the same as her own makeup mirror!

Behind oneself.

There stood a huge, invisible mirror!

And this mirror blocked their way out!

"When the lake of the heart dries up, heaven and earth weep!"

Looking at himself, Chen Yu subconsciously recited the sequence mantra of the [Sadness] pathway.

A crossbow appeared in his hand.

He cried, raising his crossbow with tears streaming down his face.

But it's not because they were scared to tears; this is just a routine action for those with the "Grief" pathway sequence.

But just as he aimed his crossbow at his other self, he caught a glimpse of the Enderman opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

The Enderman suddenly stopped chasing the blond guy.

because.

In front of these Endermen, another Enderman appeared, identical to them.

These giant "chopsticks" thought they were looking in a mirror, and stood still, lost in thought.

"Look, everyone!"

"Look at the sky!"

At this moment, the blond-haired man shouted loudly.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

The gloomy sky had somehow transformed into a boundless mirror, clear as if washed by water.

Brilliant yet serene.

This broken and decaying land has become a reflection in the mirror.

Their figures were all reflected in the mirror.

The shimmering mirror reflected twenty-two faces that were gradually sinking into shock.

"I...I understand..."

Lin Wanwan's lips began to turn pale as she spoke, word by word.

"We have entered the 'domain'."

"What domain?" The blond-haired man was confused and frightened.

Lin Wanwan glanced at him, her eyes seemingly speechless: "Domain is a skill unique to S-rank."

"Ordinary sequence users only have one skill when they first awaken, but S-rank is different; they start with two skills."

"And the other skill is domain."

"Within the 'domain,' the abilities of those who follow the sequence will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, everyone within this domain will be influenced and affected by the emotions of the 'domain' lord."

"These infected emotions can also be absorbed by the 'Domain' Lord, thereby greatly enhancing his abilities once again."

"Holy crap, isn't that invincible in the same realm?" The blond guy was dumbfounded.

"S-rank is inherently superior to all other ranks," Zhao Yutang chimed in. "If he's invincible, who is?"

"To defeat an S-class, you need an even stronger S-class."

"There are different levels between S-rank?" the blond-haired man asked again.

This time, Lin Wanwan and Zhao Yutang both gave him a speechless look.

Lin Wanwan ignored him, while Zhao Yutang looked at the clear mirror-like surface in the sky and slowly said, "Even among S-ranks, there are strengths and weaknesses. As for who is stronger and who is weaker, it depends on the emotional value that each S-rank awakens at the beginning."

"The higher the starting emotional value, the stronger the 'domain' it possesses, and the faster it takes shape."

but.

What Zhao Yutang didn't say was...

Ordinary S-rank Sequencers start with an emotional value of 13, while more powerful ones start with 14. However, for these first-order Sequencers, their "domain" is merely an unformed "puddle".

It usually takes until the second or even third tribulation for a small world to take shape.

Similar to the "Domain Deployment" in Jujutsu Kaisen.

But now they are in a different "domain".

Not only is it already completed, but it also looks just like a "water world"!

Just how high is this S-rank starting emotional value?!

Zhao Yutang didn't even dare to think about it.

Chen Yu, who had been silent until now, suddenly looked up at Zhao Yutang and said, "Xiaotang, how come I didn't know you knew so much?"

Zhao Yutang smiled and said, "I looked into it beforehand."

Suddenly, the blond-haired guy yelled, "Damn it!"

"If we are now in the 'domain' of an S-level sequencer."

"But who the hell is S...?"

He suddenly froze as he spoke.
