Chapter 218 Alan's Mirror Image (Modified)
Allen held his breath and listened with pricked ears, but there was no sound again. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly and said to himself, "I was too nervous, imagined it?"
"Alan." The voice came again.
This time, the sound was louder. It sounded sad, almost pleading. It came from a very distant place.
"Alan."
In the mirrors around him, Allen found that his face was extremely serious and he looked very nervous, but he finally heard the direction of the voice clearly, which came from behind the mirror.
"Luna, is that you?" Allen tried to yell at the mirror.
"Alan! You finally heard it!" Luna's voice became clearer and clearer.
"Alan, go straight ahead, beat yourself, and you will be able to come." Luna's voice was suddenly amplified countless times, and then fell silent.
No matter how Allen called, Luna's voice never appeared again.
"Beat yourself? Where are you going?" Allen didn't understand what Luna was saying at all.
Alan understood every word she said, but when put together, Alan was completely confused-so he simply chose a direction and walked forward, and the scene in front of him changed drastically.
The wide mirrored space seems to be extended infinitely, stretching into the distance, this mirrored space looks extraordinarily cold, except for Allen and his mirrored clone, the surrounding is empty and silent.
Allen stopped, "There is no end to walking like this."
"There is no end to this walk!" said a familiar voice.
Allen clenched his wand tightly and stared at the person coming, as if facing a big enemy, Allen was not alone here.
Allen was surprised to find that his mirror image, the figure in the mirror, was gone!
These mirror images converged in one place, from transparent to gray to black, solidified and expanded. Alan's mirror image quietly passed through the cold mirror, and quickly approached Alan.
He smiled at Alan, an eerie, familiar smile. "Hello, Alan!" He stopped a few steps away from Alan.
Allen frowned and stared at this weird thing, and finally realized that he was staring at himself—yes, it was Allen himself, and the other party had changed into Allen's appearance.
Alan on the opposite side was smiling at Alan, that smile was as cold as the glass mirror that surrounded them and could no longer reflect human figures.
"Don't be afraid," he said, "I am your mirror image."
Alan wasn't afraid. In fact, he was a little happy that he understood Luna's words-as long as he defeated his mirror image, wouldn't he defeat himself? As long as he defeated the mirror image in front of him, he should be able to see Luna.
The eyes of the mirror image - Alan's eyes - stared greedily at Alan, like a dog staring at a fleshy bone.
Allen looked serious, but the mirror image clone smiled very happily.
"You have to stay here!" said the mirror image.
His voice echoed in the silence, like icicles piercing the glass, "I am the one who is going to leave, and I will take your place and get your glory, affection, and friendship."
Allen clenched the wand in his hand and stared at his mirror image. Why didn't he look scared at all? Is he so sure he will win?
"Why are you so nervous?" The mirror image showed a sinister smile, and he stared at Alan closely, "Are you so afraid of the other side of yourself, Alan?"
"I am like this, you know." The mirror image clone continued, "I am your mirror image, your other side, your cold side. You don't have to be afraid, just accept your next destiny obediently!"
Although Allen didn't know what the mirror image clone could do, he realized one thing very clearly: if he waited to die, his mirror image clone would switch places with him—his mirror image clone would return to Hogwarts, and The real Allen will be trapped in this mirrored space forever, this cold, deathly silent space.
Staring at his mirror image, Allen decides to stall for time, ask him questions, and give himself time to think.
"Whose mirror is this? Who made it?" Allen asked.
The mirror image on the opposite side shrugged: "How do I know? I'm just your mirror image, you know?"
Allen continued to ask, "But how could..."
"It's time," the mirror image interrupted eagerly. "Stop trying to delay time with stupid questions. It's time for us to switch. It's time for you to be my mirror image!"
The mirror image clone suddenly divided into six, like a gust of wind, howling towards Alan, Alan fired a few spells and found that they were invalid, and quickly let himself run. He was thinking about what kind of spell he should use to break himself mirror image.
Allen's two legs ran forward rhythmically. The two arms were swinging, and it was very clear and bright here. Allen couldn't tell whether he was running or not. When he was running, he didn't make any sound, and there was no air blowing on his face.
But Alan kept on running—running through the seemingly endless, cold, flickering light.
Alan's mirror image clone was chasing after him, but Alan couldn't hear his voice, but Alan knew that the mirror image clone was behind him.
He knew that as long as he was caught by the mirror image, he would be finished, and he would be locked in this empty world forever, unable to see, hear, smell or touch anything, locked in this world forever In the cold glass world.
"Stop, Alan!" Alan heard his mirror image shouting behind him, "Stop immediately."
His voice sounded anxious! Why is he in a hurry? He said before, "The time is up!" So, after a certain period of time, did he have nothing to do with himself? —Alan ran harder.
"It's useless, Alan! You can't run away." The mirror image clone was almost exasperated. "I will always be with you."
Suddenly, the six mirror images merged into one, and returned to Alan's body in a flash - the surrounding mirrors reflected countless Alan's figures.
Allen stopped in his tracks. He suddenly understood what shadows follow him. He never thought that one day, he would escape from his mirror image, but it was useless. He couldn't defeat the mirror image, and he still couldn't leave. In this cold mirror world, gritted his teeth, Allen said: "Mirror image, you come out, I won't run away, let's have a fair and square duel."
As if inspired by Allen, the mirror image clone reappeared in front of Allen. "I am you, you are me, I know what you know, I know what you know, even your secret of bringing the dead back to life."
The mirror image clone raised its eyebrows, and its smile was extremely evil.
