33 Chapter Thirty Three - A Chilling Experience

"Oi, I found something." Dean suddenly said from behind.

Tyler turned back and walked over to where the male lead was standing, only to collide with another mirror. His eyes couldn't help but darken.

Now he couldn't even talk face to face with Dean? After uttering out curses for the butler once again, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

To be honest, this world wasn't that difficult. He had been through situations much harder to deal with than what he was facing now. But this kind of world often made him feel excited for some reason.

He felt like he was born for action and adventure.

After seeing Tyler's action, Dean covered his mouth as if he was hiding his laughter and said, "I'm here." He waved toward Tyler, but the latter still couldn't tell. Wherever he looked, he could see Dean staring at him with a wide smile on his face, waving at him.

A frown crossed across Tyler's face before he suddenly got an idea. "Okay, stay where you're. I'll get back to you." Then he touched the mirror and started walking. His one hand kept caressing the surface of the mirror to tell whether he was touching the real thing or not. But no matter how much he tried, he was never able to touch Dean in reality.

After half an hour of moving around, Tyler finally stopped and shook his head. "It's useless. I can't find you."

"I'm really here!" Dean's face had a touch of frustration. He could see Tyler's every move, but he couldn't understand why the other person wasn't able to approach him. "Wait there. I'll come to you."

When the male character repeated the same thing as Tyler, he also wasn't able to find a way out. After half an hour, he also crouched on the ground and shook his head, exhausted. "Why does it feel like you're getting further away every time I try to approach you? It's irritating."

Tyler didn't say anything but frowned. Maybe they were doing it all wrong. There should be another way to get to Dean and find a way out. He didn't look at the male lead and kept his head down, thinking deeply.

After contemplating on it for what seemed like hours, Tyler finally came to one conclusion. "We're trapped in a maze." They had to. Otherwise, it would be too absurd. He had carefully looked at Dean's reflection in the mirror and tried to head over to the source of it, but every time, he would end up touching a mirror.

Just then, he looked at the Dean's reflection in the mirror, and his eyes widened. Before his eyes, the form of the male lead suddenly replaced with that of David, and he even smiled ambiguously.

For a while, Tyler couldn't move. In his heart, he had already assumed that this person was the one who had been playing the role of David in the previous world. But that didn't mean he expected to see that face again!

But now, when a familiar face appeared, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. What was happening? Why did he see this face? Tyler rubbed his eyes multiple times, but David's face didn't change. At this time, his heartbeat rose faster than ever, sounding like a horse galloping.

"You—" He didn't know what to say. Although he had a rough guess about what was happening, he didn't dare to confirm it. But no matter how much he tried to ignore his urge to look at that person, he would keep glancing at the male lead from time to time.

After he while, he gritted his teeth and openly stared at David's form.

The person before Tyler tilted his head in confusion. "Is there something on my face?" He touched his face and frowned.

Tyler took a few steps back. Eyes didn't leave the other person for a single second. He didn't even want to blink, fearing the other person would disappear. His throat felt sour, as if something was stuck. "David?" Tyler tried again, praying that the conclusion he came up to wasn't real. He was praying that the person standing before him was real.

But he was doomed to feel disappointed. The other person clearly heard the name. The male lead's reflection in the mirror cocked his head and smirked. "Tyler."

At this time, Tyler couldn't sit still. This reply had confirmed that the person before him wasn't a real person but rather his own imagination. And this mirror maze was instead an illusion to capture Tyler.

In this place, he would see his darkest secret that he wanted to hide no matter what. But he never thought that his darkest hidden secret in his heart would be David.

No! He must not look at that face! If he continued to follow him, he would end up getting trapped here for a long time!

F*ck! This is the first stage, and it seemed even harder than anything else! He had to get away from David's reflection!

After thinking like this, he closed his eyes.

But the illusionary David didn't want him to stay silent. He parted his lips and continued to utter nonsense. "I waited for you for fifty years. Why don't you join me?"

At first, Tyler ignored him and continued to walk without looking.

"You're really mean, you know? You were the first one to seduce me, and after capturing my heart, you just died. I suffered so much! Aren't you afraid of Karma?"

Tyler frowned. He knew this was an illusion from his heart, but he couldn't help but wish he could open his eyes and look at that person once again.

As if hearing Tyler's thoughts, David said cheerfully, "C'mon! Look at me? I'm still the same, ain't I?"

Tyler covered his ears. "Shut up!" His voice was hoarse. He couldn't do this. He didn't want to hear that voice again.

Maybe he could find a way out if he would just close his eyes and ears. Determined, he firmly clasped his hands on his ears and shut his eyes even more. Like that, he continued to walk for like half an hour when he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulders.

Tyler's shoulders stiffened. His heartbeat sped, but he didn't know whether it was from fear or something else.

Just then, a familiar hoarse voice entered his ears. "Are you okay?"

Tyler instantly opened his eyes that were already red and moistened as if he was about to cry. Standing before him was Dean.

The latter's face also had a worried expression on his face. Even the male lead's eyes were red, and he looked as if he was controlling his emotions but was already on the verge of losing himself.

"...Dean," Tyler uttered the name as if he couldn't believe what had happened. He looked around and found himself in a living room made out of walls. There were two old mirrors adjacent to each other. Dust layer decorated the surface of both the mirrors as the old house looked more haunted.

Did the illusion break?

It should. He removed his hand and silently glanced at equally emotional Dean. He wanted to ask the latter what he had seen in the illusion but afraid of hearing the reply.

What if Dean ended up saying that he had witnessed Tyler's death in the illusion? No, Tyler didn't want to think about this anymore. That illusion was more like a nightmare for him. He took a few breaths to calm himself before he forced a smile, which gave him a touch of melancholy. "I'm fine."
