Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“How long has the Thousand Mirror World been around?”
Ming Shu thought for a moment. “Quite long.”
Qi Yu: “...”
How long is quite long?
“Baby, you just need to remember one thing. The Thousand Mirror World is the king of all worlds.”
Ming Shu narrowed her eyes. “This means that you are one of the kings of all worlds. Is it exciting?”
Qi Yu: “...”
No!
She bragged that she was very powerful but in the end, no one knew who she was.
Qi Yu felt that they walked for a long time. There was no turn along the corridor. It was a straight path forward. The pictures on the wall seemed eerie.
Squeak—
Qi Yu suspected that they might really have to walk till earth and heaven grew old. Suddenly, a huge mouse appeared in front of them.
The mouse was half as tall as a human. It was looking at them.
The huge mouse saw Ming Shu. It squeaked as though it saw something frightening and ran off.
“Stop!”
The huge mouse froze. It turned around hesitantly. It placed its claws together and bowed. “Little ancestor.”
“Don’t call me ancestor.” I’m not the ancestor of a mouse!
Ming Shu pulled Qi Yu over. “Why did you run when you saw me?”
The huge mouse trembled and kneeled on the ground. “Squeak... little ancestor, what is the matter?”
If I don’t call you little ancestor, what should I call you?
Squeak squeak squeak!
Ming Shu asked, “Why was the Apocalypse Pagoda activated?”
These huge mice were the guards of the Apocalypse Pagoda. There were ten of them, one for each floor.
The mouse placed all four limbs on the ground. “Little ancestor, I don’t know.”
Ming Shu: “...”
Why did you say it so blatantly!
Seriously!
“We are investigating it too. Little ancestor... you... do you need anything?” Please don’t request anything from me. Please don’t request anything.
“Bring me to the fourth floor.”
“...Squeak squeak squeak!”
“Speak human language.”
“All the floors are sealed off...”
“Are you trying to fool me?”
The huge mouse bowed again. It kowtowed. “Squeak squeak squeak...”
“Mouse meat is not good, but...”
“Squeak!”
The huge mouse sprung up. “Little ancestor, follow me.”
“What is your name?”
“Little ancestor, I’m Little Five.”
“Oh, long time no see. Why aren’t you dead?”
“...” Squeak! I will not die! I’m not a normal mouse! Erm... why does it sound wrong... forget it. Little ancestor is so scary.
The huge mouse didn’t dare to make a sound. It led Ming Shu and Qi Yu forward. Then, Qi Yu realized that they had turned a corner.
After that, a forked road appeared. One end led to a similar corridor while the other side ended in a staircase going down.
“Little ancestor, did you come back because something happened to the pagoda?” Little Five asked carefully.
“What else? Would I come back to eat your meat? You do seem to have a lot of meat on you.”
“...”
Squeak squeak squeak!
It was not nice to eat!
They didn’t walk for long. After they went down the stairs, a luxurious hall appeared in front of their eyes.
Little Five bowed naturally. “Little ancestor, this is the fourth floor.”
Qi Yu realized that the hall was segregated into two. They were standing on a path in the middle of the hall.
There was someone in the hall.
The person in the hall saw strangers and started walking toward them.
“There is someone here?”
The person was puzzled. “You finally decided to appear after bringing me here? What did you do to me?”
Ming Shu looked at him. “A new person?”
People who had stayed here for a long time wouldn’t react so violently when they saw a new person.
Little Five stammered, “I think... so.”
The person had been here for quite a while. However, to little ancestor, he... was considered a new person.
“Hey! Stop right there!”
Ming Shu walked through the path. The hall behind them didn’t disappear.
Qi Yu looked back at the person locked up in the hall. He was banging the transparent protective screen furiously. But, he couldn’t hear what the person was saying.
In front of them were similar looking halls. There was a person locked up in each one. They came from all kinds of eras. There were men, women, and even children.
The first few people were agitated when they saw them appeared.
The further they went, the slighter the reaction from these people. Some just raised their heads and glanced at them while others didn’t even bother to look at them.
Ming Shu walked at a normal speed. She was looking for something.
She stopped in front of an empty hall.
“Where is the person here?”
Little Five looked outside the hall. Qi Yu realized that there were carvings outside all the halls.
Little Five replied, “He is dead.”
“Dead?” Death was rare here, but it was possible.
Ming Shu asked, “Is there anyone here who has the ability to go back in time and walk through different worlds?”
Little Five was frightened. It was on its guard. “Little ancestor, why are you asking me this?”
“Don’t worry, I will not do anything. I just want some answers.”
Little Five relaxed. “This level holds all the people whose ability had something to do with time and space. However, going back in time and walking through worlds... these are rare abilities. There should be two people with this ability ahead.”
“Bring me there.”
Little Five hesitated. Under Ming Shu’s gaze, it quickly led the way.
...
The first person was a girl. She sat in the hall casually.
Ming Shu stood outside the hall. The girl looked at her. Then, she shifted her gaze and looked at Qi Yu.
Her eyes lit up. She stood up and rushed outside. “Little brother, you’re so pretty. Did you get caught too? Sigh, little mouse, can you let him stay opposite my hall. That way, I’ll be able to see him every day. I will be happy even if I’m locked up here.”
Little Five: “...”
Qi Yu moved behind Ming Shu. He wouldn’t like anyone else besides his wife.
Ming Shu glanced at her. “Good mindset.”
The girl smiled. Her eyes were glued to Qi Yu. “I can’t go out anyway so I need to find some fun in life.”
After she finished, the girl realized something. Normally, people who got caught would appear in the halls directly. They would not be able to walk outside freely.
Only those big mice had the right to walk outside.
“Where is the other one?”
“In the next hall,” Little Five said hurriedly.
The man in the next hall just sat on the floor without moving.
“Hey, he will not talk. Who are you?”
The girl shouted.
Ming Shu ignored her. “Only these two people?”
Little Five replied weakly, “Changing time is a rare ability.”
Also, not everyone who had this ability would come here.
Ming Shu pointed at the man. “Is he always like this?”
Little Five replied, “Ho. When he first came, he was not like this. Last time... he became like this after that. I’m not sure if anyone went in. It was a mess that time so when we realized that he was still here, we didn’t look carefully.”
Their mission was to make sure that the people in the pagoda didn’t run away.
Ming Shu asked Little Five to check what the exact ability of this person was.
Little Five was in a difficult position. However, it still succumbed in the end.
Very quickly, the results came. This man had the ability to go back in time and walk through the different worlds.
The Apocalypse had these abilities too.
