Chapter 39: Deep-Sea Phobia
Let alone whether Yugi, Jonouchi and others have already started to experience the benefits that ifd brings to excellent duelists, Xiaohui in Suite 504 has already started to feel her eyelids fighting.
The phrase "I'm sleepy" is not an excuse for the expulsion order. It is actually necessary to let Yugi and others go out. After all, Xiaohui feels...really sleepy now.
It's like the drug that Jessica sprayed on her that "can knock out elephants" has finally taken effect, but it's different from the feeling of being knocked out by the drug. Xiaohui feels more like "falling asleep naturally".
[Will a half-spirit also be sleepy? ] Xiaohui lay on the bed with some doubts. At the same time, she took out the half-spirit mochi from her backpack. The fluffy and soft feel of the half-spirit made the girl feel even more sleepy. [Strange... I didn't feel sleepy before. ]
This is a fact, because after becoming a half-spirit, Xiaohui has never felt sleepy, and even if Jessica sprayed her with medicine, she didn't react at all. After all, Li Zheng told her that the half-spirit has a similar nature to the spirit body-and the spirit body will get tired, but it will not sleep.
So now Xiao Hui didn't know whether she was sleepy because of the difference between the half-spirit and the real "spirit" or for some other reason.
[In that case, let's have a good sleep. ] Xiao Hui simply didn't think about the unknown things. Before she fell asleep, she sensed Li Zheng and found that the feeling of bond had not disappeared, so she gradually closed her eyes: [Next time... I see Li Zheng... I must ask clearly...]
Her consciousness gradually blurred, and Xiao Hui fell asleep on the bed in the hotel holding her half-spirit.
————————Tsukuyomi————————
Fujiwara Yukino didn't know how long she had been here.
She only remembered that before she came to this world, she seemed to be in a dance studio, learning a dance that she had never danced before with the masked dance king "Natasha" who was famous in all the eleven districts. That dance was not difficult, but the difficulty was to dance with the duel monsters in the three-dimensional images. Their brilliance would easily overshadow the human dancers dancing with them.
For this reason, it is easy to dance, but it is difficult to stand out; but this is nothing for Yukino who has a superhuman dancing talent.
But the strange thing is that when she was dancing, it seemed that something attacked her, and then, it seemed that it was a person called Li... Uh!
The purple-haired girl covered her head - she would have a headache when she thought of this, and when she had a headache, her image in the mirror in front of her would turn into the shadow of a terrifying giant beast - yes, mirror, this is a world made up of mirrors, the walls of this world are mirrors, the ceiling is a mirror, and even the floor is a mirror! And the shadow of the giant beast that appeared in the mirror would not let Xue No see it completely every time; these giant beasts seemed to be swimming in the sea water, and every time Xue No could only see a part of the giant beast.
The reason why she could confirm that these things were all giant beasts and not others was that once Xue No woke up with a headache, she saw nothing else, but a huge... blood-red eye!
Xue No glanced back because of fear at that time, but saw a huge mouth in the mirror that swallowed the sky and the earth, wanting to swallow herself in front of the mirror!
This made Yukino sit on the ground on the spot - God knows, Fujiwara Yukino has been living a peaceful life since she was born, and asking her to get along with these deep-sea monsters at this time... This is simply forcing the rabbit to climb the shelf (yes, that's right)!
And it was after seeing the huge eyes and the huge mouth that was eager to eat people that Yukino knew that she entered here in the state of "soul" or "spirit" - because if she entered with the flesh, then the future queen of Shengfengxian Women's College would probably have lost control of her bladder at that time...
There is nothing brave or not brave about this, it is just a human instinct - it is said that many people with "deep-sea phobia" are afraid of these fictitious deep-sea monsters; and when these monsters are hiding next to you, how would you feel?
Back to the present, after Yukino's headache recurred, countless "Fujiwara Yukino" in the mirrors around her began to transform again: the appearance of the purple-haired girl gradually began to distort, and the Yukino in the mirror began to transform into "sharks". At this time, the originally independent mirrors seemed to begin to connect. A huge fish tail suddenly appeared next to the "sharks". On both sides of the fish tail were huge eagle-like feet that were obviously not suitable for swimming in the deep sea. The sharks were only as big as its claws - it was obvious that this giant beast was standing directly on the bottom of the water!
[This giant beast doesn't seem so scary...] After staying here for so long, Yukino's inner world began to gradually become stronger - it may be a little unclear to say strong, it should be just "seeing a lot"? Yukino, who had just thought of this, turned her head and saw a huge head with red eyes. The giant beast's turtle-like mouth was open, and the mouth was dark, like a black hole (Note 1).
At the same time, a strange impulse began to rise in Yukino's heart: that is to walk into the mouth of this giant beast and let it eat itself!
But fortunately, after walking for so long, Yukino has also summarized the rules related to this mirror hall. She calmed down slightly and sorted out her impetuous mood due to the pain. After her heart returned to calm, both the deep-sea monsters and the sharks disappeared, and countless "Fujiwara Yukino" appeared in the mirrors around again.
Although she still didn't know where this place was, Yukino could feel that when the image in the mirror changed, those "mirrors" might no longer be simple "mirrors"...
If she followed that impulse and approached those monsters, she would probably pass through the mirror and be eaten by them.
[Is it on the right this time? ] When she saw that one of the countless "Fujiwara Yukino" was not reflecting her image but facing away from her, Yukino knew that the exit of this room was here, [The next room, it is probably the same? ]
When Yukino first discovered this answer, she thought she had found the key to decryption and could leave this mirror maze, but she didn't realize that she had just entered a new mirror world.
The only difference is that the sea monster that appears in the mirror world is different every time.
Xueno pushed open the mirror door with some boredom, but found that this time, there was indeed a difference...
Because the sea monster was no longer hiding behind the mirror, but appeared directly in front of Xueno...
"Boom!" Xueno's eyes widened, and she found that a mirror next to her had been smashed to pieces by a powerful tentacle. The shock wave rolled up the purple-haired girl before she noticed it, and then threw her down hard!
"Cough... cough..." Although she didn't know why the soul would choke on water, Xueno did feel as if her throat was blocked after she fell down. She coughed several times before she recovered. When she saw the environment clearly, she found that this was a huge square room with a huge pool in the center of the room. In the pool, a deep-sea monster with a human upper body and a giant squid monster in the lower body was waving her tentacles...
And around the room were huge mirrors. Behind the mirrors, the giant sea monsters that had been seen before were gathered around without a single one left, watching Xueno and the squid monster.
It was like the Romans watching gladiators fighting lions in the Colosseum...
