The fourth level of the eighteen hells is the Hell of Retribution. It is said that there are many mirrors here that allow people to see the sins they committed in their previous lives.
The six people walked a distance and bumped into a mirror.
A wall covered in mirrors allowed everyone to see themselves clearly. There seemed to be no path behind the mirrors; Yu Hanjiang reached out and gently pushed, but couldn't budge them. Xiao Lou examined the mirrors carefully but found no hidden mechanisms.
The teammates were completely baffled: "How do you drive this?"
Xiao Lou thought for a moment, then suddenly took out the yin-yang mirror from his pocket. Their mirror was on the yin side, the gate of death, and could reflect the underworld... He used the yin-yang mirror to look at the mirror wall in front of him, and sure enough, he found a passage in the mirror.
Why did Xiao Lou think of using a mirror to open another mirror in a second, but we didn't?
All of Yu Hanjiang's teammates shared this mindset.
Yu Hanjiang was used to Xiao Lou's familiarity with various mechanisms, so he immediately went into the mirror wall after a passage appeared. The others followed behind him, and they soon discovered that the six of them had entered a mirrored maze.
Mirrors surround you from all sides, reflecting your image clearly. Some faces are deliberately distorted, making them look ghostly. Walking through this mirrored maze with a luminous pearl in hand is truly terrifying.
Old Mo's heart trembled. He had just seen his face covered in blood in the mirror and almost cursed. These strange mirrors deliberately distorted people's features and bodies, adding blood effects, making it seem like evil spirits were shedding tears of blood...
Xiao Lou also saw his distorted reflection in the mirror, left and right. Wherever he went, those distorted images followed him like a shadow.
This mirror maze is so psychologically torturous.
It's a complex maze with many branching paths, and there are mirrors all around, with people popping up in the mirrors from time to time.
Some frightening images appeared. After walking for a while, they were like headless flies, bumping around aimlessly, and ended up back at the starting point.
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "This mirror maze is so winding and twisting, how can we find our way?"
Everyone looked at Lao Mo, who had the best navigation skills.
Old Mo took a deep breath and said, "It's my fault. I was startled when I saw my face covered in blood in the mirror just now, and I forgot the route. Cough cough, let's go through it again and I'll redraw the map..."
Xiao Lou suggested, "Old Mo, don't you have a coloring card? Could you cover up all these mirrors?"
Mo Xuemin's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, I was so nervous that I forgot about that."
After saying that, he picked up the [Color Element] card, which he had used to dye the seawater during his Weekly Routine at sea.
Upon entering the mirror maze, Old Mo dyed all the mirrors on both sides of the first section green. With the mirrors covered in dye, all you could see was a sea of green paint, rendering the mirrors almost useless and naturally eliminating any frightening reflections.
Lu Jiuchuan laughed: "That's really ingenious, you can even use paint to deal with mirrors."
It felt like gangsters coming to collect debts, splashing paint on the mirror as they went.
If the mirrors were conscious... they'd probably want to vomit blood right now.
Old Mo splashed all sorts of colors on the scary mirror maze, instantly turning it into a colorful children's playground.
As everyone walked through the colorful maze, Lao Mo quickly drew a diagram and said, "This should be a square maze, with four '田' characters combined together. The exit is in the upper right corner. Our vision was just affected by the mirror. The maze itself is not difficult."
With Lao Mo leading the way, everyone quickly found their way out of the small mirror maze.
Some white mist was faintly visible ahead, and the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher.
Xiao Lou said, "It's the fifth level, the Steamer Hell."
Looking at the white fog ahead, the sweltering heat made everyone stop in their tracks.
It's like a giant sauna.
Liu Qiao, a science student, noticed that the steam looked very similar to the steam from their high school experiments. She quickly said, "Everyone, don't touch the steam! The temperature must be around 100 degrees Celsius. If you walk through the steam, you'll not only get burned, you'll be cooked alive."
Being steamed alive is such a cruel torture that no one would dare to try it. Moreover, the area of this steaming hell before them was unknown; recklessly entering could very well mean certain death, turning everyone into steamed human flesh.
Xiao Lou looked at Lu Jiuchuan and said, "We can only lower the temperature. Ninth Brother, can your Ice Sword freeze this steam?"
Lu Jiuchuan shook his head: "No, the Ice Sword can freeze living things it hits, but it can't freeze air. Otherwise, I would have frozen all those scissors in the scissor formation just now."
What should we do then? It seems like no one has any cards that support the Frozen Environment.
How do you get through this sweltering, sweltering hell?
Tang Ci suddenly had an idea: "My drone is heat-resistant, I should give it a try."
He summoned a drone, which flew back and forth through the white steam and provided him with a lot of useful information. Looking at the numbers displayed on the screen, Tang Ci said, "The steam temperature is 100 degrees Celsius, the ambient humidity is over 80%, this steam hell is about 100 meters long, and there are no cooling cards, so we have to force our way through."
If you have Ye Qi's teleportation card, you can teleport once every 50 meters and twice every 100 meters.
Being exposed to 100-degree steam for two seconds won't kill you, but it will cause burns, thankfully tolerable. Unfortunately, Ye Qi wasn't around, and they didn't have any cards for quick movement. With a Lightness Skill, they'd be in the steam for much longer, resulting in burns all over their bodies…
Just as Tang Ci was wondering what to do, he suddenly summoned four robots.
It looks just like a robot from a science fiction movie, with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 on its chest.
They approached Tang Ci, and Tang Ci performed some operation, causing the chests of the four robots to suddenly open and transform into four sets of clothing. Tang Ci said, "Everyone, come in. This is my mechanical armor. Although it will make you clumsy when you wear it, fortunately, the material is similar to the metal of the drone and is heat-resistant."
Everyone: "..."
Mr. Tang has so many treasures hidden away!
Yu Hanjiang was the first to climb into the metal armor. After the armor closed, there was a transparent window in front of him to see where he was going. Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who was wearing the armor and looked very imposing, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "He looks like a futuristic mecha warrior."
Tang Ci said, "The armor only lasts for 10 minutes. It can protect against bullets and high temperatures. Everyone, move quickly."
Wearing the armor did make him quite clumsy, and his footsteps made a rumbling sound when he walked, which sounded rather imposing.
The four "mech warriors" slowly made their way through the high-temperature steamer hell in 5 minutes. Although the "outerwear" could prevent them from getting burned, they still felt a bit stuffy inside.
After leaving the sweltering hell, everyone immediately took off their metal armor and breathed in the fresh air.
Just then, Ye Qi's voice came through Xiao Lou's mind: " Professor Xiao, we've passed the second level, the Bodhisattva puzzle. We thought that after completing the Bodhisattva puzzle, we could see the Buddha, but in fact, the Devas didn't see the Buddha, and we've returned to the origin of the six paths of reincarnation."
Xiao Lou was stunned: "What?"
Back to square one? How could this be...?
