Chapter Fifty One - The Mirror Babies?!

"You're clearly trying to seek death, aren't you?" After being 'molested' for another half an hour, Tyler couldn't help it and blurted it out.

The male lead, on the other hand, whistled a song and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Tyler knew the male lead was doing this deliberately. Otherwise, who would end up touching his hands, stomach, chest, and even his butt 'accidentally'?! His face was still red, but he didn't know if this was because of anger or something else. So he decided to ignore this person and quickened his steps.

This action amused Dean, and he whistled another song in a good mood.

After a few minutes of walking, Tyler, who was initially angry, couldn't help but focus on the music. For some reason, he vaguely felt that this song that the male lead was whistling was very familiar.

Just when he thought of asking the male lead about this song, the latter suddenly stopped whistling and said, "We should quickly finish the task and head over to the next stage."

Tyler momentarily felt something was off. Why did the male lead suddenly stop whistling? But he didn't think much about it because he also felt that they were instead wasting their time in this dark place. So he fastened his steps and walked toward the intersection point.

What he didn't know was that the male lead, who had suddenly stopped his music, heaved a sigh of relief. Before, when he was making that sound, he had forgotten about what song he was singing. And after a few minutes, the higherups suddenly sent him a message in his system that Tyler's condition had suddenly worsened.

They strictly warned Dean that he could in no way tell Tyler about his past or even give him a slight hint about it.

Seeing that, Dean stopped whistling and couldn't help but curse himself in his heart. Why did he have to sing this song? This music was Tyler's favorite tune, and the latter used to sing it all the time!

Damn it! He had nearly messed things up this time!

Fortunately, he stopped in time, or else Tyler's condition could've worsened. He took a few deep breaths to calm his heartbeat and focused on the task at hand.

Sadly, Tyler didn't know what the male lead was thinking at this moment. He was thinking about what might appear in the fourth stage after this.

After spending about half an hour of time in blowing off the fire lamps around the intersection point, they finally gathered around the road that was filled with light. But there was something weird about it.

"Why does it feel like there's an invisible wall blocking the light?" Adam tilted his head as he continued to stare blankly toward the tunnel filled with light. On his right, there was a familiar dark path where they had went earlier and found out a significant clue.

And after turning off the light, they directly came back to the intersection point only to see that the light from the other side wasn't coming inside the tunnel shrouded in the dark. It seemed as if brightened tunnel and the dark intersection point were two different worlds separated by a thin invisible wall.

Initially, Tyler was worried that even after blowing off the firelamps on the wall around the intersection point, the light from this particular path, which was already shrouded with bright light, would reflect on their faces, and the fake versions would appear all over again.

After experimenting for a long time, he was already confident that the illusory characters would appear whenever there was light. So his trick would've been ruined just because of the brightened path.

But thankfully, it seemed that they had chosen the correct method to get out of this place. Everything around him was still dark, and he couldn't see Dean's and Adam's faces because something had blocked the light from coming inside the intersection point.

And he thought that this invisible wall was instead a mirror, which was their way out.

Without thinking twice, he quickly entered the path. Suddenly, ripples appeared on the surface of the invisible wall as if someone were passing through the surface of the water.

Dean and Adam quickly followed him.

But as soon as they entered, they heard the ear-piercing cry of dozens of children. It seemed as if more than a dozen of babies were left alone, and they couldn't help but cry out in misery.

Tyler and Dean frowned while Adam covered his ears while screaming. "What the hell is this?!"

They just came out and found themselves surrounded by the cries of many babies! Why did this mirror world seem to turn weirder and weirder?!

But his comrades didn't say a word. It didn't matter even if they said anything. It was impossible to hear a single word when such a loud noise was echoing in the background.

So they just swept past their eyes across the area to see what was happening.

It turned out they just appeared in a living room of a middle-class house of a medieval family. What was even more surprising was that the entire living room was filled with dozens of children wearing similar clothes. And they were all crying loudly.

But that wasn't what made Tyler confused. He was stupefied to see that the skin color of these children, which should've been pinkish, was instead covered with a mirror. It seemed as if someone had painted the kids with a mirror paint that reflected every single thing in the entire living room.

You can call it a mirror skin.

But just as Tyler was about to walk toward them slowly, the children suddenly went silent and darted their faces toward Tyler and the group. Dozens of eyes were staring at him, and a grin formed on their lips as they all parted their lips in sync, screaming, "Mommy!"
