Unexpectedly, the new person in front of him did not pounce on him like the previous man.

On the contrary, upon seeing Gu Shijiu's wary demeanor, the man trembled with fear, involuntarily shrinking back and revealing a look of terror on his face.

"No... please don't hit me, I meant no harm," the man said in a trembling voice, his body still shaking, his eyes pleading.

Gu Shijiu was slightly taken aback, her tense nerves relaxing a little as she asked, "Are you also a contestant?"

"I... My name is Xiaoqi. I don't know how I got here." Xiaoqi stammered, "What competition? I don't know."

Could she be an NPC in an amusement park, similar to Minnie Mouse?

Minnie just wanted to escape this place. The AI ​​is really strange; the characters it created are all weird.

"Do you know how to get out?" Gu Shijiu didn't have much hope, since NPCs are usually stationed in a fixed location.

Xiao Qi isn't a contestant, so he probably doesn't even know.

Sure enough, Xiao Qi looked miserable and said helplessly, "I don't know how long I've been here. Time seems to have gotten messed up here."

I've been trying to find a way out, but I have no clue what to do.

Moreover, the people here are strange; some will suddenly attack others, and I don't know how many times I've dodged them.

Gu Shijiu has always been enthusiastic about listening to stories, and quickly encouraged Xiao Qi to tell his own story.

"I come from the world of Mechanical Heart. In our place, most people rarely go out and spend their entire lives dealing with all kinds of machines..."

I've been in this godforsaken place for decades, sob sob sob, I wish I could go back.

Xiao Qi reminisced about his past life, and Gu Shijiu listened with great interest.

Gu Shijiu was somewhat surprised that this NPC actually had the concept of traveling through worlds. Including Minnie from before, this was the second NPC she had encountered who wanted to leave.

"You've lived here for decades, haven't you starved to death?" Gu Shijiu asked, somewhat incredulous.

"I don't know why, but the people here don't seem to get hungry," Xiao Qi explained.

"How many floors and how many spaces are there in total?" Gu Shijiu asked again.

"Then I don't know. Look at the structure of this mirror room. The number of mirrors in each room is the same, but the shapes are different."

Therefore, each room is irregularly shaped, and it's hard to say how many layers there are when they're stacked together.

Whenever I encounter a difficult person, I quickly move to another space, but over the decades, each move has resulted in a completely new space, countless times…

Xiao Qi's words sounded ominous, but he didn't completely lose confidence; on the contrary, he was quite determined.

"But in the process, I also discovered some clues! After all, I come from a world that specializes in mechanics."

During the transmission process, the human body is broken down into countless molecules, and then reassembled into a new body when the mirror is transmitted.

Some mirrors distort the body very little, while others seem to disrupt and rearrange all the molecules, resulting in a horrifying effect.

However, due to the high degree of randomness in this process, we have no way to control the final output.

I've documented countless times the mirror's process of reshaping my body, but I can never find a pattern. If only I had mental power; I've heard it's even more useful than high-tech stuff...

Gu Shijiu had never passed physics and didn't understand a word of it, only hearing about mental power: "How can you use mental power?"

Xiao Qi scratched his head, racking his brains to organize his thoughts, trying to make Gu Shijiu understand the complex concept of mental power.

"Mental strength is actually an invisible force, deeply hidden in our consciousness."

In the mechanical world I came from, although it mainly relies on mechanical technology, there are also some legends about spiritual power.

It is said that people with strong mental power can control the molecular composition of their surroundings and even influence space and time.

As Xiaoqi spoke, he gestured vigorously in the air, trying to use vivid movements to help explain.

Gu Shijiu tilted her head, seemingly understanding but not quite, and asked, "Controlling the molecular composition of things around us sounds too mysterious."

Xiao Qi pondered for a moment, then continued, "Take the mirror room we're in right now, for example. If you have spiritual power, you can try to use it to sense these mirrors."

Each mirror has a unique ripple effect, like their 'identity card'.

When you can clearly perceive these fluctuations, it may be possible to use mental power to influence how the mirror relates to the arrangement of molecules in the human body.

"Affect the way the mirror combines molecules in the human body? You mean, I can use my mental power to make the mirror reassemble my body so that it doesn't become so grotesque?"

Gu Shijiu's eyes lit up, as if she saw hope of returning to normal.

Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Theoretically, that's how it is. But it's not easy. First, you have to learn to concentrate and eliminate external distractions."

You can close your eyes, take a deep breath, focus your attention on your innermost thoughts, and feel your own consciousness.

Following Xiao Qi's instructions, Gu Shijiu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

In fact, she had already been exposed to the use of mental power in the script before, and had also mastered some rudimentary techniques.

But since leaving that fantasy drama script, she hasn't had many opportunities to use it.

This skill, like knowledge learned in high school, will be forgotten very quickly.

Gu Shijiu concentrated his mind, trying to perceive his surroundings.

At first she felt nothing, but gradually she seemed to sense a faint fluctuation, as if it were coming from the mirror.

"I think I sensed something. Is it the mirror's vibration?" Gu Shijiu opened her eyes and asked excitedly.

Xiao Qi nodded and encouraged, "Yes, that's the feeling. Now you need to strengthen this perception and feel the fluctuations in the mirror more clearly."

Once you have fully mastered it, try using your mental power to influence how it combines molecules.

Gu Shijiu closed her eyes again, concentrating on sensing the fluctuations in the mirror.

Having prior experience, her senses quickly became much clearer.

It can be detected that the fluctuations of different mirrors vary, some are strong and some are weak.

Xiao Qi was a little surprised; he hadn't expected this seemingly dim-witted girl to grasp things so quickly.

Unfortunately, he lacked spiritual power and couldn't sense that magical force.

Xiao Qi organized his thoughts and continued, "Once you clearly perceive the fluctuations in the mirror, you need to construct an ideal model in your mind."

For example, you might want your body to be in normal proportions, with symmetrical limbs and smooth skin.

You need to visualize this model as clearly as possible in your mind, making every detail lifelike.

Gu Shijiu nodded seriously, signaling Xiao Qi to continue.

"Then, you need to use your mental power to guide the fluctuations of the mirror."

It's like you're conducting an orchestra; your mental strength is your conductor's baton.

You need to make the mirror's fluctuations change according to the needs of the molecular combination model in your mind.

When the mirror's fluctuations resonate with your spiritual energy, the way it rearranges molecules changes in the direction you desire.

"That sounds really difficult," Gu Shijiu said, frowning.

"It's really not simple, and during the guidance process, you also need to pay attention to the strength and stability of your mental energy."

My mental strength is too weak to have a sufficient impact on the fluctuations in the mirror;

Excessive and unstable mental strength may lead to more chaotic molecular recombination.

You need to find a suitable balance point, just like adjusting the parameters of a mechanical device, fine-tuning it little by little.

Xiao Qi patiently explained.

Gu Shijiu did as instructed.
