Yu Sheng leaned close to the mirror, studying the faint "second reflection" within it even more carefully. The image layered over the mirror reminded him of the reflection on a glass window at night, with the scenery outside and the shadows on the glass blending together. The dim cave and the scene of heavy snow blowing outside its entrance seemed to truly exist somewhere on the other side of the mirror, yet they were impossible to see clearly, overlapping in layers.
Eileen climbed up Yu Sheng's body to his shoulder in just a few moves. Hugging the back of his head, she curiously studied the mirror on the wall. After a while, she muttered, "Could that snow have been 'blown' over from the other side of the mirror?"
"You can see it too?" Yu Sheng glanced at Eileen in surprise.
"Of course. What's so surprising about that?" Eileen found his reaction baffling. "I'm not blind."
Huli, standing nearby, nodded before Yu Sheng could say anything. "Benefactor, I can see it too."
"Uh." Yu Sheng scratched his hair. "It's just that I've been dealing with Little Red Riding Hood, Li Lin, and the others lately. I keep feeling that other people might not be able to see the things I can, so I've become a little paranoid."
As he spoke, he quickly weighed the matter for two or three seconds, then cautiously reached out and tried to touch the surface of the mirror.
He still remembered that the last time he touched it, the mirror had reflected a strange ruin. A shattered puppet and a huge monster made of shadows had perished together in the center of that ruin. So what about this time? What kind of change would the mirror produce?
Eileen instantly tightened her grip on Yu Sheng's hair,
