The origin of the Red Mirror is mysterious.Regarding its background, Jiang Wang knew very little.

Accidentally obtained from Hu Shaomeng, but due to limited strength, Hu Shaomeng himself did not research this treasure much and only developed its usage for creating illusions.

But from the information currently known, even Hai Zongming, the de facto elder of the Diao Hai Building, coveted this item greatly.

Looking at the Red Mirror itself, Jiang Wang didn’t get many clues from the Flying Snow Disaster.

However, the second disaster, Overturning Sea, vaguely revealed a lot of information.

But with the intelligence incomplete, Jiang Wang found it difficult to piece together a full understanding.

He only knew it probably involved a person named “Overturning Sea”.

At the end of the Flying Snow Disaster, the white snow receded, the frozen earth thawed, and the spring breeze arose.

What the female voice said was, “Beauty does not wane with age.”

At the end of the Overturning Sea Disaster, the world fell into eternal darkness.

What the female voice said was, “The sun is extinguished.”

Each disaster began with a phrase.

The first was, “Alas, the fair face ages before the mirror, the red makeup especially slaughters those within!”

The second was, “Who says there are no peerless beauties in the world?

One reflection in the red makeup kills one person.”

The third disaster began with, “Who in the world can be without guilt?

Into the bitter sea, this body is overturned.”

It seemed as if there were no connections, yet it also seemed like they could faintly outline a story.

The voice of the woman at the beginning ran throughout, connecting all the clues.

In the Flying Snow Disaster, the voice was indifferent from start to finish.

At the beginning of the Overturning Sea Disaster, when the calamity was declared, it was also cold and icy, but in the words, “Overturning Sea, I will kill you!” it was filled with hatred.

And this time, it began with a tone of sorrow.

It seemed that as the voice experienced the disasters of the Mirror World, it slowly changed.

What this change signified, Jiang Wang did not know.

Yet, this unknown was exactly the opportunity Jiang Wang sought.

Facing Zhuang Chenggan, who had been plotting for so long and knew him thoroughly, pulling him into the unknown, where both faced variables, was in itself a way to erase the gap between them.

As to how much it could erase, it would depend on what the Red Mirror could do.

From the Flying Snow Disaster, to the Overturning Sea Disaster, and now to the Asking Heart Disaster.

From the suddenness of the first time, to the risky exploration after weighing options the second time, to this instance of a desperate struggle.

Jiang Wang didn’t feel he had enough strength to get through the third disaster in the Mirror World, but at that moment, he really had no other choice.

Zhuang Chenggan was too terrifying, a despair-inducing kind of terror.

Firmly in control of the situation, planning every move, no matter how Jiang Wang resisted, he could easily cope with it.

With a flip of the hand, he would suppress all hope.

Having tried all sorts of methods, the Red Mirror was the trump card he had to play.

And before he really played this trump card, even he himself did not know what it was, what they would face.

“You could have saved me.”

Within the seemingly eternal darkness, Jiang Wang heard a voice say.

At that time, he could see nothing, but he heard it very clearly.

“You could have saved me.”

This phrase repeated, with different voices repeating it.

Ten different people, a hundred different people, a thousand different people…

Countless voices converged into one, mixing into a noise that was annoying and painful to hear.

“Why didn’t you?!”

Looking back on all the experiences he had had thus far, what was the thing that made Jiang Wang regret the most, that made him feel the most guilty?

It was initially in Maple Forest City Region.

He had already foreseen the danger, but naively trusted Dong Ah.

As a result, when the tragedy occurred, other than An An and Song Qingzhi, he couldn’t save anyone else.

His brothers in life and death, his teachers and classmates, the neighbors on his street, his relatives and fellow townspeople…

all were forever lost.

That regret and pain constantly gnawed at his heart.

“Why didn’t you?”

In the endless darkness, a face gradually became clear.

That face, originally handsome, was slashed by a sharp weapon beyond recognition, horrifically mangled.

Yet Jiang Wang still recognized it easily.

It was Zhao Rucheng.

“I…”

Jiang Wang reached out a hand, wanting to touch him but not daring to.

He was just muttering, “I…

I…”

He couldn’t explain.

He couldn’t find, nor could he make any excuses for himself.

This was his eternal pain!

“Why didn’t you have it?”

Among the countless voices, Jiang Wang still recognized Ling He’s voice.

His voice was deep and steady, even in questioning, it was filled with tolerance and closeness as if saying, “Little Wang, it’s okay, I don’t blame you.”

It was precisely this kind of tolerance Ling He would definitely have that made Jiang Wang collapse all at once.

He knelt on the ground, clutching his head in agony, “I’m sorry…

It was my foolishness and naivety that caused your demise!”

In the darkness, faint shadows writhed and drew near, closer and closer…

Jiang Wang knelt at the heart of darkness, enveloped by it, as if he too, would soon blend into this darkness.

“Brother!”

He heard a bell-like child’s voice.

“Brother!

Are you leaving me behind?”

Jiang Wang abruptly stood, his eyes wide and teary: “An An, An An!”

All the voices of questioning dissipated.

A thousand, ten thousand, hundreds of thousands of voices, all vanished.

In the endless darkness, he could see nothing, hear nothing anymore.

But he was silent.

The silence lasted a while.

He reached out, in the darkness, and wiped away his own tears.

“Ling He, my brother, Ru Cheng, my younger sibling, Dong Ah, my friend, Zhuang Chenggan, my elder, and all my dear relatives, classmates, and neighbors.

I feel guilty in my heart towards you all.”

He said, “My life in this world, is as if in a sea of suffering.”

“But I will still keep going, not just to take care of An An, but to carry forward all that you have given me.”

His voice was calm and resolute.

“I will bear all the sorrow, I will take on all the pain.

I will avenge your hatred, I will fulfill your dreams.”

The shadows deep in the darkness, silently dispersed.

Bang!

Suddenly, heartbeat sounds arose in the darkness, like the beats of a drum.

Jiang Wang felt as if his own heart was expanding, throbbing, screaming, as if it might burst and reduce his entire body to ashes with it.

And he heard, within those heartbeat sounds, a voice neither male nor female and devoid of any emotion asking—

“Faced with treasure, have you ever felt greedy?”

“Faced with beauty, have you ever had lewd thoughts?”

“Have you ever harbored murderous thoughts?

Have you thought about destroying what is beautiful?”

“Have you ever longed for power?”

“Have you ever been envious of others?”

These questions struck straight to the deepest part of the heart.

As if pulling all the darkness from the deepest darkness, forcing one to confront, forcing one to repent.

The voice said, “The deepest darkness is facing one’s own heart.

The filth and venom deep within a being’s heart are deeper than the eternal darkness of the universe.”

“Do you see it?

How will you face it?

What will you choose?”

Jiang Wang didn’t know when, but he had begun to sit cross-legged.

He sat alone in the eternal darkness, with his heart facing heaven.

He had indeed seen into the depths of his heart and acknowledged that he too had had evil thoughts.

But when faced with this final question, he uttered just four words.

He said—

“A thought blossoms forth.”

Heaven and hell are just a thought away.
