I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

But Xijiana was stunned.

Because she wasn't smiling.

"..."

After standing there for a long time, Xijiana exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? This, this, this, this... appeared!"

Although she had been expecting herself in the mirror to come out and fight her, she didn't expect this sudden appearance to almost cause her to have a cardiac arrest.

But before Xi Jiana could call Xu Li over, and before she could even take a step to escape, the 'Xi Jiana' in the mirror suddenly smiled, stretched out her hands, grabbed, and dragged her.

Xijiana is gone.

She was dragged into the mirror like a fish into the water.

Xu Li: “…Ah?”

Although he was confused, he still moved quickly to the mirror where Xijiana disappeared, but did not face the mirror directly at first.

Looking at the smooth mirror surface of the rock wall from the side.

Xu Li pondered in his heart.

what's the situation?

But after thinking about it for a long time, I only vaguely remember that there seemed to be a plot like this in anime? A mirror world or something.

After all, it has been many years since he traveled to the Pokémon world, and it is not a permanent memory. Xu Li has almost forgotten some not very important plots.

Complaining about his memory, Xu Li sighed helplessly.

Who asked Xijiana to follow me?

He walked to the mirror. It quickly revealed Xu Li, who was also smiling, but it was a wild smile, with his arms outstretched, as if he were a king.

Is this me, a chuunibyou? Xu Li complained in his heart.

After waiting for a long time, he saw that the man in the mirror did not make any move, but was just smiling. Xu Li knocked on the mirror and said, "Pull me in."

"No." Xu Li in the mirror slowly shook his head.

Xu Li: “…”

He said, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of you." Xu Li was smiling in the mirror.

"If you don't let me in, I will smash this mirror." Xu Li said.

"Okay." Xu Li's smile disappeared in the mirror.

He stretched out his hand, reached out from the mirror, grabbed Xu Li's shoulder, and pulled.

Can't pull.

Xu Li: “…”

But he followed the force and walked in.

Suddenly, as if teleporting, the scene before my eyes was no longer the pitch-black scene with occasional flashes of mirror light in the mirror cave, but a blue sky, white clouds and grass.

The sky here is purple, the dark side is yellow, and the trees are also red, brown, and green.

But before Xu Li could sense it carefully.

A warm body rushed towards Xu Li, hugging him tightly. A large body pressed against Xu Li's chest, creating an unusual warmth. And there was her gentle, smiling breath.

"Well...Xu Li, you finally came in! I missed you so much...my dear."

This is Shijiana.

"Ugh! You imposter! Get off Xu Li now!!"

This is another Xijiana.

She was angry.

Xu Li: “…”

There was no plot to distinguish the real Monkey King from the fake one. Just based on this reaction, Xu Li could tell which one was the real one. Moreover, from the appearance, the fake one also appeared white as a whole, as if covered by a white film.

Xi Jiana said: "No! I miss Xu Li so much."

Xi Jiana was immediately furious, her face flushed: "I'm not as shameless as you!!"

"You fake one!"

She stepped forward to pull, and with Xu Li's cooperation, she managed to pull 'Xijiana' down.

But, the clothes were torn.

The black tights that Xijiana was wearing underneath were torn in half by Xijiana. After a quick glance, Xu Li looked at Xijiana with strange eyes.

No, you only wrapped this much cloth?

What can you prevent?

However, it was quite large, and quite white and red, no wonder it had felt so tight earlier. Usually, it was covered by Xi Jiana's cloak, so Xu Li didn't pay much attention to it.

"do not look!"

With a red and puffy face, Xijiana reluctantly gave her cloak to the imposter 'Xijiana'.

After hugging Xijiana tightly and subduing her, Xijiana breathed a sigh of relief.

After everything settled down.

Xu Licai asked: "What's going on here?"

The fake 'Xu Li' who was standing in the distance with his back to them, overlooking the world, turned around and slowly walked forward.

He opened his arms wildly, laughed heartily a few times, and said, "Welcome to the world of Mirror Kingdom!"

Chapter 194: Kingdom of Mirrors

"Mirror Country?" Xu Li murmured doubtfully, "So this is a country?"

"Yeah!" Xu Li from the Mirror Kingdom nodded as a matter of course, grinning widely, "We're the only country left right now!"

He was referring to himself and 'Xijiana' from another Mirror Kingdom.

"However, there will be more and more people in the future! Under my wise leadership!" Xu Li laughed without stopping. "This is what I, as the king of the Mirror Kingdom, should do!"

Xu Li: "...what is it."

It felt strange and awkward to see my own face saying such 'confident' words in front of me, and I felt embarrassed for myself.

Xi Jiana laughed out loud instead: "Xu Li! Your fake one is so arrogant!"

"Hmph... Don't call us imposters!" Xu Li said, "Although we have to admit that we are your mirror image. Although we look somewhat similar to you, we are completely different beings!"

"We are independent entities!" he said, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

But Xu Li continued his words: "It is like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water."

Xu Li immediately showed an angry expression: "No!"

He said angrily, "Even if you are my reference, you know nothing about the Mirror Kingdom! How dare you question our authenticity?"

Xu Li smiled: "Then tell us."

'Xu Li': "I know what you want to know. But I won't tell you!"

Xu Li: "Then I'll smash this place. You know I can do it."

Xu Li: "..."

"Then I'll tell you."

……

Xu Li from the Mirror Kingdom reluctantly explained the principles of the Mirror Kingdom.

Simply put, this is a mirror world that is the opposite of the real world. The characters in this mirror world have personalities that are, if not completely opposite to their original selves, at least two different paths.

Why are there only Xu Li and Xi Jiana? Because only what is reflected by the mirror is included in the reference system of the Mirror Kingdom.

For example, the arrogant Mirror Kingdom Xu Li in front of him could not summon any Pokémon. As long as Xu Li did not release his own Pokémon, this Mirror Kingdom would never be able to "reference".

"So no one has come in here before?" Xu Li asked.

"Yes!" said Xu Li from the Kingdom of Mirrors, "but he's dead."

"It seems to be a female researcher. After her original body escaped, her reflection gradually dissipated and she died. The mirror outside is also her relic."

"If the original hadn't escaped, the mirror image would still be alive."

'Xu Li' stared at Xu Li and continued, "So I won't let you leave here. You can continue to enjoy this woman's service. You can do whatever you want, I won't care."

in front of him.

'Xijiana', who was wearing new clothes, was rubbing Xu Li's shoulders with a happy smile on her face, like a newlywed wife.

The real Xijiana could only stare from the side, her cheeks puffed up, looking angry like a big toad whose cheeks were about to burst.

The mirror image 'Xu Li' seemed to be alone.

But he didn't care. Nor was he interested.

As long as the Mirror Kingdom gets better and better under his rule.

Xi Jiana was dissatisfied and said angrily, "You don't have the final say! We must leave here!"

As she spoke, she stared at Xi Jiana who was still rubbing her shoulders and said aggrievedly, "No, there's no way this is possible..."

I'm going to be replaced by a fake version of myself!

Thinking of this possibility, Xijiana pursed her lips.

But this fake guy had learned his lesson and only rubbed it gently, so she couldn't pull it away. Xu Li was the same, why wouldn't he refuse!

Why not just punch this fake guy in the head? Even if it's my own face!

Xu Li: “…”

It feels like Xijiana's resentment is about to overflow...

Sighing, and looking at the self-aware mirror image, Xu Li said, "So, aren't you still just flowers in the mirror and moon in the water?"

"Sadly, we have to leave here."

Xu Li said stubbornly: "No! No way!"

Xu Li: "Have you noticed that you have no self-awareness?"

"I've noticed it a long time ago," Xu Li said, "but I know I'm not self-aware. Does this count as self-awareness?"

Xu Li: “…”

He ignored the mirror image Xu Li's attempt to change the subject and continued, "You'd better tell us how to leave here. Otherwise, I..."

"Otherwise you'll just smash this place up, right?" Xu Li immediately responded, "How many times have you said this? Can't you come up with a different excuse? No matter what..."

Xu Li: "Just tell me if this is useful."

Xu Li: "..."

He had to admit, honestly, "It's useful."

After all, no matter how grandiose the 'Mirror Kingdom' might sound, it's ultimately just a slightly peculiar mirror. It's afraid of being smashed. Its power isn't that great, and it can't withstand even the most powerful of forces.

"That's all." Xu Li spread his hands. "I'll smash it now, or it will slowly dissipate in the future. Choose one."

After a long silence, Xu Li said, "Come with me."

He stood up as if somewhat lonely, waved his hand casually, and walked away in one direction.

Xu Li also patted Rouyi, who was holding her shoulders a little too tightly, and sighed softly in his heart, saying, "It's time to let me go."

Xi Jiana was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Can't you just not leave..."

Xu Li: "We have to leave eventually."

If they stayed any longer, perhaps the mirror image could 'live' longer, but it would not be good for everyone emotionally - perhaps except for the mirror image 'Xu Li'.
