Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 15: Demonic Suppression
Not a dream!
Yang Xu immediately confirmed this.

These system prompts were irrefutable evidence that he had truly traveled to some unknown place while he was asleep.

In the real world, it takes 4 hours of practice to increase your compatibility. Based on this interval, 42 messages, each lasting 4 hours, would be 168 hours, or 7 days...

Yang Xu was a little bit unbelievable.

In the few minutes he had just fallen asleep, he had been hunted in that mysterious space for seven whole days!
However, it’s not quite right to say that it was a chase.

That monster was so strong that crushing him was as easy as crushing an ant.

But he was fine. It seemed that the man was not trying to kill him, but rather to train him...

This can also be seen from the panel prompt, 'Practice combat skills diligently'. In the system's judgment, the process of him being chased is regarded as practice.

"Training... could it be Zhizhe?" Yang Xu remembered that in the letter left by Zhizhe, there was a sentence saying 'I will use the last few months of my life to train you kid'. At that time, he did not understand this sentence and just thought it was Zhizhe's crazy talk. Now it seems that the person in the dream is Zhizhe?
Didn’t Kezhizhe say that he was dead? How come he appeared again?

Yang Xu rubbed his head.

By the way, he has had this dream twice, once the day before yesterday when he just became an administrator, and once today, but yesterday was skipped, which doesn't seem to be in line with the pattern.

After a little thought, Yang Xu suddenly realized that it was because he didn't sleep at midnight yesterday!
He was busy making a coffin and burying the body last night, and it was past midnight when he finished.

The day before yesterday and today, he fell asleep before midnight.

So, from now on, as long as he falls asleep before midnight, he can enter that place every day?

Yang Xu couldn't be sure, so he could only wait until midnight tomorrow to verify it.

Coming back to his senses, the sleepiness that had been suppressed just now came back. Yang Xu glanced at the territory map, confirmed that there was no new situation, and lay back on the bed.

But this time, he couldn't fall asleep at all.

"With such a huge curse weighing on you, you can still sleep?"

"If there's no Mirror Ghost, then go find it!"

The two sentences the weirdo said before he left kept circling in his mind.

Yang Xu tossed and turned for a few minutes, and then he suddenly sat up.

Yes, if there are no monsters, go find them.

Mirror Ghosts do not only appear in the administrator's territory, but are randomly refreshed all over the world.

Furthermore, even if a monster appeared within the administrator's territory, there were always cases where the administrator was not strong enough to deal with it. If it was not eliminated within 48 hours, the Mirror Ghost would overflow into the real world. Someone had to deal with these escaped monsters, otherwise Blue Planet would have been in chaos long ago.

He should have thought of it earlier.

After all, he still hasn't fundamentally accepted his situation. Perhaps because the Stopper Card was something left by his grandmother, he subconsciously feels that his grandmother will not harm him, so he still has illusions about the curse countdown, thinking that in the extraordinary world, longevity should not be difficult to obtain, and he only needs to improve step by step, and there will always be a way to survive the crisis in the end.

But is this possible?
To continue to harbor hope is to wait for death.

Thinking of this, Yang Xu no longer felt sleepy.

He turned on his phone, searched for the local portal forum in Qingyang City, switched to the news channel, and started browsing the posts.

He often visits this forum, which has pretty good traffic. Most of the users are local netizens in Qingyang City. They usually share all kinds of trivial matters on the forum.

Yang Xu felt that if any supernatural event really happened, he would be more likely to see it first on such a down-to-earth forum.

Choose to sort by posting time and take a quick look. There is nothing new in the existing posts.

Because it was late at night, the forum was not very active, with a new post appearing every one or two minutes on average.

Yang Xu was not in a hurry. He refreshed the screen from time to time and used the rest of the time to practice time stopping.

I practiced and browsed the forum at the same time, intermittently, from midnight to after two o'clock.

Finally, the title of a new post caught his attention.

A fire broke out at Beiqiao Shopping Center, and a mysterious creature appeared at the scene. (Photos to prove it!)

Yang Xu quickly clicked on the post.

The post first included a picture of a shopping mall on fire. Near a row of windows on the third floor, a fiery red, winged, cylindrical object could be vaguely seen through the flames, swaying in the wind. However, the flames blended in with the raging fire, making it difficult to distinguish clearly.

The poster specially circled the cylindrical creature to prove that he was not a clickbait.

First floor: What a bullshit unknown creature, isn’t this just a lit lantern?

Second floor: Can the picture be a little blurrier?

Third floor (poster): Can your lantern fly? Does your lantern have wings?

Fourth floor: It seems to be true. I saw it at the scene. There was indeed something floating in the flames. I don’t know if it had wings, but it was a living thing.

Fifth Floor: Maybe a kite or something got burned...

……

There were all kinds of comments below, but as the floors went up, more and more witnesses came forward to testify that there was indeed something unscientific going on in the fire.

Yang Xu was continuing to scroll down when the forum suddenly froze.

When he refreshed the page again, the post had disappeared.

"This is it!"

Yang Xu's eyes lit up. It was impossible to determine whether it was a supernatural event just by looking at the content of the post, but the fact that the post was blocked so quickly actually increased the possibility.

Northbridge Shopping Centre...

Yang Xu knew this shopping mall. It was a very famous supermarket in the local area. It was not far from their community, only two or three kilometers away.

Without further ado, Yang Xu immediately changed his skin, equipped himself with a hatchet, took all four cards, and entered the mirror world.

Of course he couldn't leave his house wearing the Taoist boy skin, as that would directly expose his identity.

Yang Xu went downstairs from the mirror world and walked all the way to the edge of the territory, into a residential building on the west side of the community.

There is a full-length mirror on the wall at the entrance of this residential building. Residents would tidy up their appearance here when passing by on their way to and from get off work every day, which provided convenience for Yang Xu.

After emerging from the mirror, Yang Xu returned to the real world.

It was two in the morning, and the neighborhood was deserted. Yang Xu groped into the green belt, reached the west wall, and climbed out.

Having lived here for more than 20 years, Yang Xu is naturally familiar with the environment near his home and tries to avoid intersections with surveillance cameras along the way.

This caution was not in vain. On the way to the mall, a system prompt was triggered.

[You wear the Dao Tong skin, carefully conceal your tracks, trigger the (Caution) attribute, and your skin compatibility increases by 0.1%.]

"Okay!" Yang Xu nodded with satisfaction. He was used to keeping a low profile. He didn't even need to deliberately perform such 'cautious' details in daily life. He could achieve it naturally by acting as usual.

It’s a pity that this prompt was only triggered once along the way. I wonder if there is any built-in cooldown.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Xu arrived near Beiqiao Shopping Mall.

At this moment, the shopping mall building in front has been surrounded by several fire trucks. As expected, flames are blazing above the second floor of the shopping mall. More than ten firefighters are distributed throughout the building to organize firefighting, and many passers-by have gathered below the building to stop and watch, holding up their mobile phones to take pictures.

As soon as Yang Xu saw the scene clearly, he felt a headache.

His original plan was that after he came here, he would sneak into the building, find the mirror ghost, kill it, and then quickly retreat, preferably without alerting anyone in the whole process.

As a result, there were firefighters and onlookers at the scene, almost surrounding the entire building. Many people were holding their mobile phones. If he really rushed in to kill the mirror ghost, it would be equivalent to a live broadcast.

Yang Xu was just racking his brains over what to do when a prompt suddenly popped up on the panel.

[Demon Spirit Subjugation Dungeon - Lantern Moth (1 Star)]

An unnamed administrator has discovered a 'Lightmoth' that has spilled over into the real world, but feeling outnumbered, he has issued an open call for other administrators within a 1km radius. Will you accept this invitation and join him in defeating the Mirror Ghost? Recruitment progress: 0/3.

[Warning: Your level is too low, and you haven't yet left the novice protection period. Participating in this type of wild demonic subjugation carries a high risk. Please choose with caution.]
