The Mirror Game [Infinite]

Two Powerful Leads / Mystery-Focused Whenever you look in a mirror, do you ever feel a sudden chill? Are you afraid that when you close your eyes, your reflection will be staring fixedly at you? One day, Xie Chi's mother brought home a bronze mirror she had picked up at an antiques market. By sheer coincidence, she placed it right in front of Xie Chi's bed. When he woke up again, he found that the world around him had been turned upside down. His bad-tempered mother had become incredibly gentle. His scrupulous, dedicated father had turned into a drunk. And his warm, friendly neighbor had suddenly acquired a strange habit: every night at midnight, he peered through the peephole at Xie Chi's front door. The only thing that hadn't changed was Wen Ying, his childhood friend, who had grown up wearing split-crotch pants right alongside him. Just as Xie Chi was congratulating himself on not having to fight alone, one day his childhood friend suddenly asked him, "Have you ever heard a saying?" Xie Chi was confused. "What saying?" His friend said mysteriously, "I turned the whole world upside down just to set your reflection right..." Xie Chi punched him. "This is a special situation, you idiot." That's right, he was trapped in a curse. More precisely, he and his childhood friend were trapped in a curse together. And only after Xie Chi successfully escaped from the mirror did he realize that, to be truly precise, he and his childhood friend, along with everyone they would meet from then on, had fallen into an endless, inescapable curse. The urban legend of the faceless woman... A school trapped in eternal night... A slaughterhouse where not a drop of blood could be drawn... A dry well beside an orphanage... How could they possibly escape the mirror world filled with evil spirits? "This is hard. The way out of this one is really hard..." "I'm really feeling just a tiny bit out of my depth..." "Wen Ying? Wen Ying? Did you hear what I... said?" Xie Chi was fretting in a cemetery when he suddenly noticed that Wen Ying was calmly eating the ghost's offerings. He munched on melon seeds while calculating the ghost's birth date and hour, and even threatened to make sure it would never be able to get by in the world of ghosts and would vanish forever if it didn't reveal the way out! What? His childhood friend was actually an insanely powerful human cheat code hiding in plain sight? Little Bonus: Xie Chi: "Huh? You're asking how my childhood friend got trapped in the curse with me?" (Scratches his head tactically.) "Am I allowed to say that?" (Checks again and again.) "Can they really air this?" (Fidgets with his fingers.) "Actually, that night... we slept together..." (Emphasizes solemnly.) "We really were just sharing a room for one night!" But now that I think about it, Wen Ying insisted very strongly on sleeping together that night, as if he knew something ahead of time. Looking back, it seems like he was hiding something from me! Wen Ying opens a book of romantic lines: "What could I possibly be hiding from you? I turned the whole world upside down..." Xie Chi cuts off his spell: "Get lost!" If you've finished reading, come check out the new ongoing novel, Details Will Be the Death of Me [Full Dive]! Two powerful leads clash, and two lunatics beat the hell out of each other! Zhao Xu spent nine years in prison, was single for twenty-four years, had a crazy older brother and an overworked mother, and came from a dirt-poor family. Even playing games at an internet cafe required him to use his good looks to get free time. He ate instant noodles three meals a day, sometimes with a sausage. With a life this pathetic, even God would regret creating him. But God doesn't play games, so he didn't know that this "ordinary" handsome guy was... A god-tier player recognized by an entire game community, creating countless legendary moments that made people worship him. He was the ideal full-dive gaming crush for countless players, while also attracting legions of obsessive anti-fans. Yet one day, the System forcibly reclaimed his top-tier account. With no other choice, the max-level expert returned to the starting village, and another storm of blood and fury began. He swept through dungeons, climbed back to the top, and crushed his opponents! He brought glory to his people and led his underlings in face-slapping foreign players! Showing off isn't Zhao Xu's hobby, but it is his specialty. A casual, effortless display of skill is often the most devastating. Zhao Xu: "I may be gone from the scene, but the scene is full of legends about me." That's right. He has proof. Because Zhao Xu was shocked to discover that after his account was reclaimed, all those anti-fan leaders who had once hated him to the bone and spread rumors to smear him began expressing their true feelings... Anti-Fan A, a guild leader: "The Ninth Ruins is the most talented full-dive game player I've ever met. His mind is beyond anyone else's, and he even saved my life!" Xu: "? Didn't you chase me around dungeons trying to chop me down, swearing you wouldn't stop until I quit the game?" Anti-Fan B, a lone-wolf player: "I'm naturally cold and look down on everyone. No one is worthy of standing beside me. But the Ninth Ruins is the only teammate I've ever acknowledged. I'm willing to look up to him forever, as long as he comes back." Xu: "What the hell are you putting on an act for? Every time we ran a dungeon together, didn't you stab me in the back? Why would I come back, just to get stabbed again?" Anti-Fan C, a blacklisted player on the rankings: "I can only give the Ninth Ruins one year of freedom. Now that the year is up, he'd better come back voluntarily and obediently. Don't make me come out there and drag him back myself." (Carefully studies books titled The 100 Ways to Force Someone to Love You, A Guide to Winning Over Your Nemesis, How Many Chains Before They Rub Your Skin Raw?, and The Sweetest Melons Are the Ones You Force: A Guide to Making Love Happen.) Xu: "Ha ha." (Laughs awkwardly.) "This one's on another level. Um, System, could you please ban this account too? Seriously, my life matters more." //////////Nine Years in Prison///////// On the ruins, the spirit endures. Content Guide: 1. The plot takes up quite a lot of space. 2.

People say that in the two hundred years since this building appeared, no one nearby has ever seen anyone living inside. And every day, different dolls are placed on the glowing shelves. That's why everyone in the area calls the building the Dollhouse Mansion. Li Li heard from the older generation that every doll inside represented a curse. He refused to believe it. And then...? Li Li: "Huh? I... I just went in, and now..." Li Li covers his face and weeps: "I really regret it now. I regret it so, so much." (Planning to write a proper love-and-hate story.
