Chapter 522: I love you
However, this does not mean that Guo Shengye is invincible; after all, the world behind the mirrors can only exist with the support of the mirrors.
Wen Wen just needs to find the mirror they inhabit, and before they can transfer out, shatter it.
But how easy is it to find a mirror in this entire city without knowing any specific characteristics?
Therefore, Wen Wen’s only breakthrough lies in the sketchbook in his hand; if Guo Shengye is persistent enough about this sketchbook, he will definitely come for it.
In this regard, Wen Wen is quite confident because Jidro has confirmed that the Mirror Nightmare is still observing him in some way.
If it’s not for that sketchbook, there would be no need.
Just waiting and doing nothing, competing in patience with Guo Shengye, Wen Wen is confident he can win, but this is entirely not Wen Wen’s style.
Therefore, Wen Wen is preparing to do something that will make Guo Shengye very uncomfortable, to urge him to lose patience sooner.
After briefly considering, Wen Wen smirked, made a real call to consult with Lin Zheyuan and the others, then through the Rangers’ internal channels, he contacted the company Guo Shengye had signed with.
A few hours later, that company’s official website released a piece of information.
The comic artist with the pen name ’Gentleman I Understand You’, due to being suspected of multiple malicious assault incidents, has brought negative impacts to the company... Therefore, the company has terminated the contract with said artist, and at the same time, all his comics have been taken down...
Meanwhile, the news in Furong River City also broadcasted this message, completely trashing Guo Shengye’s reputation to the greatest extent.
The foundation that Guo Shengye had built in the comic industry over half a year was completely dismantled by a few phone calls from Wen Wen.
And the Mirror Nightmare that’s observing him should know who the mastermind behind this incident is and will undoubtedly come to seek revenge on Wen Wen.
Wen Wen, with the sketchbook balanced on his fingertip, watched it rotate ceaselessly and with a curling lip said, "With things having gone this far, can you still keep your composure?"
...
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
In a resplendent room filled with mirrors, Guo Shengye furiously smashed a television.
"Why did they have to do this to me? I’ve spent half a year to get to this point, why did they have to destroy everything for me!"
Moments later, the television was beyond recognition, then Guo Shengye slumped into a chair, heaving long sighs and brief gasps of despair.
Actually, what truly made him angry in those reports was not the uncovering of his violent acts.
He knew what he had done; the souls of the young girls used to "create art", although not personally captured by him, were ultimately related to him.
Moreover, when he played games with the Mirror Nightmare, if he won, the Mirror Nightmare would help him seek ’Inspiration’, but when he lost, he had to kill to enhance the Strength of the Mirror Nightmare.
What enraged him was actually the discontinuation of his comics.
After the fury, Guo Shengye calmed down and said, "Forget it, if my reputation is already ruined, then let it stay ruined; I can simply start over with a new identity..."
"But at least the original sketchbook must remain in my hands. Have you found the sketchbook I lost, my dear friend?"
Opposite Guo Shengye stood a figure who, aside from having silver pupils, looked exactly like Guo Shengye but with everything opposite from the left to the right.
This was the Mirror Nightmare!
The Mirror Nightmare nodded at Guo Shengye saying, "The sketchbook has been found. It’s in the hands of the person who ruined your reputation."
Guo Shengye suddenly burst out in rage, "So it was him who stole my sketchbook, who is this person, and why must they do this to me?"
"My dear friend, I’m going to kill him!"
Mirror Nightmare hesitated before saying, "This person is a bit troublesome, not an ordinary superpower user..."
"If it’s troublesome, then forget it." Guo Shengye slumped down, looking somewhat dejected, "I don’t want that sketchbook anymore, I don’t want you to get hurt."
Seeing Guo Shengye’s forlorn expression, Mirror Nightmare felt a twinge of heartache, so her expression turned fierce.
"Don’t worry, if I promised you something, I will definitely do it. That person doesn’t have the ability to hurt me, I will kill him and get your sketchbook back!"
"In this world, only I will never betray you!"
Guo Shengye revealed a sincere smile and said, "Having you as a friend is truly wonderful!"
...
"When will they come to find me, my chains are already impatient with hunger."
Wen Wen sat in a chair, toying with a six-layered Magic Cube. Meanwhile, Four Cubs struggled to prop up a hefty tome. At Wen Wen’s command, it would flip a page with a small paw.
When he played with the Magic Cube, he never referred to a guide. Once you consult a guide, even an ordinary person could solve it, but Wen Wen sought the process of solving, not to boast with a mimicked solution.
As for the thick book, it was the Moriarty Case Collection, which is widely recognized as the most classic among Federation detective novels.
It narrates the story of a detective named Moriarty, a genius.
The Chapter Wen Wen was reading was about the duel between Detective Moriarty and his arch-nemesis, Detective Holmes, which he had already read several times but still found extremely thrilling.
Of course, whether it’s imitating or reading, these activities were just to alleviate boredom.
Wen Wen was actually always alert to his surroundings; there was absolutely no chance for Mirror Nightmare to launch a surprise attack. In fact, outside of places of absolute safety, even when sleeping, Wen Wen was more vigilant than a normal person who was standing up.
He believed that as long as he kept waiting in this room, that guy would definitely show his hand.
The other party had been observing Wen Wen all this time, and the only reason they hadn’t attacked him was probably just waiting for the right moment.
However, Wen Wen could sense that the atmosphere in the room was becoming increasingly eerie, suggesting his opponent was likely growing impatient.
After finishing another Chapter, Wen Wen yawned and rubbed his eyes as if getting tired, and stood up intending to wash his face.
Right at that moment, a mirror next to him moved, aiming for the manuscript sketchbook on the table.
But Wen Wen immediately picked up the manuscript sketchbook and flicked his finger against the frame, sending the mirror flying.
"Just as I suspected, you have been keeping an eye on this place, waiting for me to slip up... Haven’t your eyes gotten sore from watching me for so long?"
Guo Shengye’s face appeared in the mirror, looking grimly at Wen Wen, "You’ve been sitting here all this time just to wait for me, now here I am."
"Hmm..." Wen Wen stroked his chin, observing Guo Shengye in the mirror, "This is the first time I’ve encountered a creature like you. Does every Mirror Nightmare possess abilities like yours?"
When Wen Wen mentioned Mirror Nightmare, Guo Shengye’s eyes twitched slightly. Although he made no other significant moves, Wen Wen was still convinced that he was the Mirror Nightmare spoken of by Gadro.
As a detective, having some research into micro-expressions is to be expected, right...?
