Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 301 - 165: Yin Yang Mirror
Chapter 301: Chapter 165: Yin Yang Mirror
"Wake up, everyone, wake up."
"Don’t be fooled, don’t be fooled, wake up!"
...
Bang...
Yelling, flying kicks, slaps, collisions, nothing worked.
In desperate urgency, Yuwen Dao and others even stabbed a person’s thigh with a knife, hoping the pain would jolt them back to their senses.
But even that had no effect.
The person with the pierced thigh merely glanced at him, then immediately turned his head toward the sky, unhesitatingly pulling out a dagger and stabbing it straight into his heart.
Squish...
"They’re mad, all mad, stop focusing on these people; stop others from coming over. There must be something invisible to us on the bamboo tower, something only those who have worshiped the Mirror Immortal can see!"
Just now, there were only two or three thousand people gathered by the bamboo tower.
Unbeknownst to them, more people gradually walked out from other buildings in the area, all of them approaching the bamboo tower as if possessed, their gazes fixed on the sky above it, with the same eerie smiles as the others.
Squish... squish... squish...
Seeing people committing suicide faster and faster, Yuwen Dao gave up on this group entirely and led his companions toward the outskirts of the crowd.
"Don’t come over, everyone, leave, leave, get out!"
He shouted until his voice was hoarse, but it made no difference.
The vast majority of people in the camp were still converging toward the bamboo tower.
Silver-white gleams appeared in their pupils, as if they couldn’t hear any external sounds, committing suicide one after another, just like Yuwen Hu and those beneath the bamboo tower.
"What’s going on, Dao’er, what’s happening!"
"Dao, what’s the situation."
"Lao Hong, what’s going on here."
...
Of course, a few sober individuals came out from the houses upon hearing Yuwen Dao’s voice.
These people looked a bit dazed when they came out, but when they noticed the people by the bamboo tower committing suicide one by one, their expressions froze instantly.
"Everyone leave, everyone leave, don’t come over."
Yuwen Dao didn’t provide any explanation, noting that those who remained sober were all people who hadn’t worshiped the Mirror Immortal, he immediately understood that he couldn’t stop what was happening by the bamboo tower.
"Mother, don’t come over, quickly follow Uncle Hong and run, run out of the camp, don’t stay here, the leader and others who worshiped the Mirror Immortal have all gone mad."
Seeing his mother Xu Lan walking toward the bamboo tower as well, Yuwen Dao immediately stopped her, then quickly rushed over to meet her.
"Where’s your father?"
Upon hearing his mother’s inquiry, Yuwen Dao’s expression changed, he opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say, his gaze unintentionally drifting toward the top of the bamboo tower.
Xu Lan was no ordinary person; she also had cultivation in the Earth-digging Realm.
She guessed what had happened just by looking at her son’s expression, and following his gaze to the top of the bamboo tower, her body trembled.
Yuwen Hu was quietly slumped over the railing at the top.
Even from a distance, one could clearly see a horrific wound on Yuwen Hu’s neck, with blood flowing down the railing.
Considering the scene of him motionless and the increasing number of people at the base of the bamboo tower committing suicide, it wasn’t hard to guess his husband’s fate.
Surveying the scene by the bamboo tower, Xu Lan struggled to suppress her grief and quickly turned to her son with a serious tone:
"Dao’er, there are quite a few people from Ningzhou who haven’t worshiped the Mirror Immortal, they might still be saved, go save them quickly."
Mother knew about the Mirror Immortal too?
Yuwen Dao was stunned, but hearing the latter part of Xu Lan’s words, he quickly realized something and briskly shook his head:
"No, Mother, you come with me..."
"Don’t say anymore, your mother’s decision has never changed, the more time you waste here, the fewer people can be saved, hurry up!"
Seeing the determination on his mother’s face, Yuwen Dao’s heart trembled.
"It’s too cold; can’t let your father lie there like that..."
Xu Lan murmured softly, decisively walking toward the bamboo tower.
Watching his mother’s back, Yuwen Dao clenched his fists tightly, finally glancing at his father Yuwen Hu’s body, then turned and rushed to other buildings in the camp to start notifying others to escape.
"Father and I weren’t wrong, the Mirror Immortal is a Deceitful Monster. The question now is whether the leader He Yuanhun is controlled by the Mirror Immortal, or if he has already been replaced by it."
If before, Yuwen Dao had only suspected the Mirror Immortal of being a Deceitful Monster, after witnessing his father Yuwen Hu’s suicide and the scene at the bamboo tower, he was certain.
The so-called resurrection before might have been a ruse by the Mirror Immortal, for today’s occurrence.
Yuwen Dao, along with Hong Guang and others, gathered all the sane people in the camp, organizing their escape while also contemplating in his mind.
He Yuanhun was undoubtedly a real person, which is why Yuwen Hu decided to merge the people of Yuanzhou into the Mirror Immortal Camp, primarily because of his admiration and respect for He Yuanhun, whom he regarded as a sworn brother.
Yuwen Dao himself had also long idolized He Yuanhun.
"It doesn’t matter now whether he’s controlled or if he himself is the Mirror Immortal; what’s important is why he’s doing this!"
Confirming He Yuanhun as a Deceitful Monster clarified many things!
"Great Xia must have some divine object that can see through and restrain him, which is why He Yuanhun caused the Cold Beast tide as a precaution, although it was ultimately thwarted by Great Xia!"
