Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Chapter 15: The Hero Chapter 300: Chapter 15: The Hero Lin Xian still couldn’t understand what the phrase “The mirror holds what you desire” truly meant.

Because conventionally,

a mirror is simply a flat structure that reflects light.

As long as the surface of an object is smooth enough, copper, iron, plastic, ice, or even water can all become mirrors.

In modern society, glass mirrors are the most commonly used, affordable and practical.

Every household is inseparable from mirrors, whether in the bathroom, in the wardrobe, or even on the mistress’s vanity table, a mirror is indispensable.

Lin Xian looked into mirrors many times a day, both intentionally and unintentionally.

He didn’t find anything special about it each time he did.

...

Moreover...

Based on the construction and physical principles of mirrors, “inside the mirror” is a concept that doesn’t exist.

A mirror is just a mirror, a thin layer of glass, it doesn’t have an inside.

Everything people see through a mirror is nothing more than an “illusion” cast by reflected light onto the retina, it’s nonexistent.

Perhaps, a room with a three-dimensional mirrored surface, or the mirrors on the interior of elevators do make a space appear larger, but that’s just a visual illusion, and the actual area of the space hasn’t expanded by even a centimeter.

So, it’s impossible for anything to exist within a mirror, isn’t Huang Que’s riddle just a paradoxical statement?

Therefore...

Putting it all together,

Lin Xian felt that the mirror mentioned by Huang Que most likely referred to the mirror in his own dreams.

And what he desired should be the clues or secrets that Zhao Yingjun took great pains to leave for him in the Third Dreamland.

This way, it seemed a bit more logical.

Lin Xian didn’t doubt that Huang Que knew about his dreams, which was clear from their very first meeting.

Huang Que knew too much about him, to the point that it felt like she understood him even better than he understood himself.

...

That night, after entering the dream, Lin Xian immediately dashed towards the gathering spot of the crowd and lights in the distance.

“Brother Lian.”

At this moment, Big Face Cat was still inflating his helium balloon and hadn’t changed into his handmade astronaut suit.

Lin Xian went straight over and patted his shoulder to greet him.

“Ga?”

Big Face Cat looked up in confusion, his cheeks squished together:

“Who are you?”

Following the script from before, Lin Xian spewed out a bunch of words.

However, unlike the previous interaction, he straightforwardly finished by telling Big Face Cat:

“I know the exact location of the gap in the air defense net.”

Big Face Cat’s expression changed.

Indeed, this sentence worked better than anything else, and the surrounding crowd immediately gathered around.

Lin Xian told Big Face Cat and the others that the gap in the air defense net was located directly above the square statue.

But at a height of 10,000 meters, it was impossible to see where the statue was located, let alone make out the details; even a statue tens of meters tall was no larger than a sesame seed and completely indistinguishable.

However, he could lead the way, take them to jump through the gap in the air defense net together.

Although Lin Xian had only successfully gotten through once,

he had found his own visual references and was seventy to eighty percent confident he could pinpoint the location of the gap, and even a mistake wasn’t a big deal...

they would just come back tomorrow.

Lin Xian also told them many things about Rhine Sky City; indeed there was medicine in the drugstore that could treat radiation sickness, and the city’s security was very lax, almost non-existent.

With so many flashy things in Sky City, no one paid them any attention, making any task they undertook easy and pleasant.
