Chapter 36: Exploring the Secrets of the Mirror Sect
Mu Xueyan frowned slightly and said coldly, "This wicked art of the Mirror Sect turns people into Puppets! It's truly damnable!"
Dan Xiner clenched her fists, her eyes burning with anger, "It's truly conscience-less. Those are living beings, yet they were refined into Puppets by them!"
Just then, Lin Fan and Ye Youming walked in side by side.
Lin Fan laughed carelessly, "You're wrong. The Mirror Sect doesn't just simply refine people into Puppets; they redefine their memories and thoughts."
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite metal chip and inserted it into the data interface on the round table.
With a slight humming sound, the holographic projection began to change.
The images, originally showing the Mirror Sect performing secret arts, switched to the data Lin Fan brought back from Earth.
In the footage, a complex mental wave frequency technology was clearly displayed. By directly intervening in the brain's hippocampus, it could precisely erase specific memories while inputting new, false ones.
The consciousness of the controlled subjects could not distinguish truth from falsehood, and eventually, they completely believed the implanted memories were real.
Lin Fan said coldly, "This is what makes the Mirror Sect truly terrifying. They possess not only the methods of the Immortal Realm but also the methods of technological civilization."
And what's even more terrifying is that their presence has spread throughout the entire Universe in three-dimensional space."
Although only Lin Chen could fully understand Lin Fan's explanation, the others gathered the general idea from his words and couldn't help but feel a chill.
Mu Xueyan gripped her sword, her gaze turning cold, "Then what should we do now? We can't just sit here and wait for death!"
Lin Fan took a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag, then slowly exhaled a cloud of thick smoke, his eyes calm but tinged with a trace of sorrow.
He looked at the red dots on the holographic projection marking the scope of infection; those red dots covered almost the entire Universe.
"Currently, the three-dimensional Universe has been almost completely infected by them. There is no simple way to eradicate them completely."
He paused, tapped the projection interface, and the image switched to a blurry video, showing the Black Obsidian Organization secretly carrying out the Obsidian Light Project.
"Ten thousand years ago, they had already opened a dimensional channel from the three-dimensional world to our world."
The image displayed a massive energy field, surrounded by precise mechanical devices and complex, profound Formations.
The surface of the machinery bore the black emblem of the "Black Obsidian Organization."
They were activating the Void Realm Source Furnace to open a high-dimensional channel.
Just as they were about to succeed, Lin Fan stepped in and destroyed it.
"Back then, although I stopped them from fully opening this channel, it only delayed their progress."
Speaking of this, Lin Fan switched the image, and the projection displayed strange fluctuations quietly appearing in certain locations within the three-dimensional world.
These fluctuations were gradually spreading toward the four-dimensional space.
"Now, their power has likely already gradually infiltrated our world."
"In places we are unaware of, they are pouring in frantically, hoarding power, and attempting to launch a final invasion on our world."
Dan Xiner's face turned slightly pale, and she murmured, "Then… aren't we at a complete disadvantage? If their power has spread to this extent, what else can we do?"
Lin Fan gently extinguished the cigarette in his hand, casually tossed the butt into the Void Realm, and continued.
"The reason they are so strong fundamentally lies in their reliance on one thing: a strange mirror."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes flickered, and she asked doubtfully, "A strange mirror? What does that mean?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly, walked to the round table, and tapped the holographic projection gently.
The image changed, revealing a calm, shimmering sea surface. He pointed at the image and said calmly,
"Look, this sea surface is so calm that it feels a bit wrong, doesn't it?"
Mu Xueyan stared at the calm, waveless sea surface in the projection, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she murmured,
"Yes, it is so calm, so calm that there isn't even a ripple; it's like a mirror."
A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Lin Fan's mouth, "Exactly, that is the problem. Such a vast sea surface cannot possibly be completely without ripples."
"It looks like the sea, but in reality, it is not the sea at all."
Having said this, he lightly tapped the projection interface with his finger.
The image changed abruptly, and it could be seen that hidden beneath the sea surface was an entire world.
Those flickering points of light connected into a complex energy network, layered and overlapping like a giant web.
"This is the Watchtower Island where they are lurking on Earth. Through such a base, they can not only extract resources without limit but also secretly develop power that combines technology and cultivation."
The image continued to switch, showing some scenes of the Mirror Sect's activities inside the base.
Countless mechanical devices and rune Formations were intertwined, and the operators traveled between various worlds through "Mirror Channels."
Lin Fan pointed at the projection, his voice becoming colder, "The 'mirror' technology of the Mirror Sect is not just their weapon; it is their lifeline."
"The Souls of all those whose memories have been rewritten are stored within these mirrors, and these mirror bases are the true source of their power."
Dan Xiner gasped, asking nervously, "Then how do we destroy it? If there are such bases everywhere, aren't we…"
Lin Fan interrupted her, saying firmly, "The number of bases is not the point. The point is to find the core mirror nodes and destroy their mirror channels."
"As long as we cut off this network, the Mirror Sect will lose their greatest reliance."
A trace of coldness flashed in Mu Xueyan's eyes as she gripped the hilt of her sword and said coldly, "In that case, we must quickly find these nodes and destroy them in one fell swoop!"
Lin Chen nodded. Although she was a bit nervous inside, she tried her best to calm herself down and said softly:
"How can we find these mirror worlds now, and how can we enter these mirror worlds?"
Lin Fan's smile remained cold and gloomy. He took out that old laptop from his pocket and touched it gently, as if reminiscing about something.
He didn't say much, just opened the laptop. The keyboard made a soft clicking sound, as if connecting to a piece of his past.
"This is the only thing my father left me, and it is the only thing that can allow us to find and enter the mirror worlds."
Lin Chen noticed the trace of heaviness in Lin Fan's tone, and her heart tightened instantly, knowing that this computer carried too many memories.
She nodded gently and reached out her slender hand to Lin Fan's palm. Lin Fan trembled slightly, then immediately grasped Lin Chen's hand tightly in return.
"Thank you, Lin Chen."
Just at this moment, a small figure suddenly leaped out. Xiao Du's cute and dazed image immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow, I can finally move freely. Lin Fan, you really are slow; I've been waiting for you for ages! Finally, a new chapter begins!"
