Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

After the rose passed through the mirror and disappeared, the mirror surface became like muddy water, and the opposite scene could not be seen.The turbulent ripple lasted for a few seconds, and before it died down, a bright object suddenly fell out of the mirror.In order to follow it, Lu You's eyes moved away from the mirror for a moment, and when he reached out to catch it and then looked up, he could only see his own face in the mirror that returned to normal.

The thing in the hand exudes a warm orange-red light, with a blue tinge on the outermost circle, which is in the shape of a flame.Lu You squeezed it, and it felt like an inflatable candy.The solid fire felt warm in his hand, the temperature seemed to seep into the blood and flow all over the body, dispelling the chill within a few seconds.

Finally freed from the torment of the cold, Lu You, who felt like he was about to freeze to death just now, breathed a sigh of relief.He backed away from the ice and walked down the edge of the fountain pool, experiencing the strange feeling that the cold wind mixed with snowflakes was blowing, but it became soft and warm around him.

"It's really possible to use a mirror to pass things..." Lu You squeezed the fire and rubbed it a few times, "It just happens to be useful. System, do you think this seems to be designed?"

"Do you want to discover the truth, and then confront the mastermind behind the scenes?" the system asked slowly.

"How is it possible?" Lu You murmured, and stuffed the somewhat conspicuous fire in his hand into his pocket, "Try hard to figure out the intention of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then do it accordingly. I think it is against Little Red Riding Hood... ...the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right?"

"I don't know if it's a friend or not." The system said, "But if you stay here and don't leave, the enemy is probably coming soon."

Although the system awkwardly refused to agree, it still reminded Lu You that he was being hunted down by a guy who wanted to eat him, and he didn't have much time to concentrate on thinking.Lu You didn't dare to dawdle any longer, and turned his attention away from the short meeting just now, and continued to distinguish the intermittent and faintly faint guidance at that time, walking through this frozen town to search.

The next "door" is actually not far from the fountain pool. It is a wall that is blackened by soot and covered with thin ice, so that it can reflect the shadow of people.There was an experience of appearing next to the monster after crossing the mirror. Lu You passed through the mirror as quickly and quietly as possible.

The town that appeared in front of him was exactly the same as the one on the other side of the mirror: a gray sky, snowflakes blown by the wind, and shops crowded on both sides of the dirty stone road.He turned his head suspiciously, only to find that the blackened and frozen wall was still behind him.

...going through the mirror and back to where it was?

The idea that it was Little Red Riding Hood playing tricks only flashed for a moment, and Lu You quickly noticed the difference in the seemingly identical scene: the beggar who was hiding in the corner of the street before was gone, and the colors of the signboards in front of several shops were also the same as before. no the same.He tried to touch the wall again, but his fingertips couldn't penetrate the slippery ice—it seemed that even if the exit didn't disappear, the passage would only be a one-way street.

Lu You put his hands in his pockets, touched the warmth of the flame, and walked along the road to the center of the town.Along the way, probably because practice makes perfect, coupled with the fact that the distance is getting closer, his perception is becoming clearer, as if he can see a thin shiny line in the air, indicating the route he should follow.

He walked all the way to the fountain pool, which was also of the same shape as the other side.After taking a picture of his blurred figure on the ice, Lu You raised his head and stared at the statue in the center of the fountain pool.

It was no longer a bronze statue of a girl raising her hand to attract a bird.In its place is a taller standing sculpture, what appears to be the figure of a well-dressed youth.

The reason why I say "seems" is because the sculpture has suffered some kind of damage, and the surface has become bumpy.The neat dents in the shape of fish scales seemed to have been stripped of the outermost decoration; the hem of the raised cloak was broken, and only a section of the saber was left in his hand.Even on the face of the statue, the facial features were destroyed by deep scars, leaving only deep hollows in the eyes, looking at the empty space from a distance.

A pedestrian passed by Lu You, with his head bowed and his feet in a hurry, and had no time to cast his eyes on this ugly statue.

Lu You climbed the fountain again, stepped on the ice to the base of the statue, and swept away the snow.After the soft snow layer on the top was blown away, a bit of black color was revealed: under the ice and snow lay a frozen and dead swallow.

He silently put the snow back on.It is indeed the Happy Prince...but the plot is over, what is he going to do here?

Lu You looked around, observing the pedestrians around him.The aunt of the bakery used a broom to drive away the sparrows that fell in front of the shop, and the children wrapped in balls ran across the street laughing, their little faces flushed with cold.Everyone turned a blind eye to him, as if he was a transparent person.

There was also a little girl standing by the side of the road, wearing thin and ill-fitting clothes, holding a patched small cloth bag in front of her.Whenever a pedestrian passed by, she approached earnestly with something, with a begging expression on her face, but the most friendly response she got was just a few impatient waves of hands.Lu You watched from a distance for a while, then walked towards her.

The little girl's eyes fell on him. "Want a box of matches, sir?" she said timidly, holding a box of matches in her chilblained little hand.It was not well preserved in the snowy weather, and the carton of the matches was a little wet.

Lu You was a little embarrassed.He doesn't have any money that can be used in this world... He found that the little girl's small body wrapped in tattered clothes was shivering in the cold, and there was only a pair of boots with holes under her feet. The flame was brought out.

"I don't have any money, but I have this. Can I exchange it for a box of matches with you?" he asked, half genuinely sympathetic, half probing, "Take this and you won't It's not cold any more."

The little girl's eyes lit up, she took the flame carefully, and then smiled in amazement. "It's amazing." She sighed in a low voice, and quickly handed the match in exchange to Lu You.This is also the last unsold box of matches.Lu You was shivered by the cold wind that came back after the flames left, and hurriedly wanted to go to a shelter from the wind, but the corner of his clothes was pulled.

"Thank you, kind sir..." The little girl said shyly, "This must be a magical flame, right? A box of matches is not worth so much... This is for you too! It was given to me by a swallow, very Beautiful glass." She stuffed a cold object into Lu You's hand, turned and ran away before Lu You could answer.

Lu You opened his palm: a pure and transparent sapphire lay in his palm.

——In order to comfort the people suffering from poverty in the cold winter, the prince asked the swallow to be his messenger.It took the ruby ​​from the hilt of the statue, the bright sapphire from the eye socket, and the gold leaf that adorned it all.After they both had nothing left for each other, the swallow kissed the prince on the lips and fell dead at his feet, and it got the prince's broken heart.

Lu You glanced back at the damaged sculpture, remembering that he had cried about this story when he was very young.He lightly grasped the jewel eye that had seen countless sufferings, and at the same time, his other hand touched a certain rough texture.He turned the matchbox over with some doubts, and saw a few black lines on the back of the unwet box.It was an open eye drawn in charcoal, the charcoal shavings blackening his fingertips.

There is a black friction layer on the side of the matchbox, which is not a design that existed in the fairy tale era.Lu You opened the paper box in the form of a small drawer. The matches inside were not damp and were full. Even if they were used in the wrong place, a waste of one or two should be allowed?So he took one out and carefully rubbed it against the side of the box.

The match ignited with a "chick".The light twisted around the flames, reflecting a scene that Lu You had seen before: the mirror placed on the frozen lake.This illusion lasted quietly for a few seconds, and disappeared with a wisp of smoke after the match was burned out.

——In order to keep warm, the little girl lit a match.In the warm light of the fire, she saw roast goose, gifts and the deceased grandma.It's all a dream scene.The light of the fire carried her soul to heaven, and her frozen body was found on the street corner the next day.

Lu You shook the fingertips that were almost burned, thinking about the illusion just now.He dreams of mirrors...?What does it mean?

Speaking of which, the three protagonists in the two fairy tales all died in the end... It's really a bit ominous.

He was about to put the matches and precious stones into his pockets, when he lowered his head, he found that the ice and snow had melted at the place where the match stub fell at his feet, as if melted by residual heat, and became a small piece of water.On the surface of the water, Yin Yu's shadow emerged—the shadow was upside down, as if he was looking up from the water.

Yin Yu was talking to someone else with his head turned sideways, so he didn't notice the water under his feet.Before Lu You could think of a way to attract his attention, several children emerged from the corner of the street, rushing towards him with howls.The leading child bumped into Lu You's body with such force as a calf out of control. The gemstone just fell from between his fingers and fell into the stagnant water accurately.

When Lu You regained his footing, the child had already run away, the gem that fell into the water was gone, and so was the reflection on the water.All that was left in his hand was the box of matches with the eyes painted on it.

...Just now he was still thinking about which props to send over, but now he doesn't need to worry about it.

"It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't need you to figure out its intentions." The voice of the system said from the side, "It can do it on its own."

Lu You sighed. "It's not a good thing..." he whispered.

The less there is to rely on the player, the less valuable the player is.If it has no value, it is not worth protecting.

Lu You made a cross on the word "friend" that he had thought before, and felt that he should re-understand the attitude of "setting" towards players—perhaps a more indifferent attitude than he thought before.This thought clouded his heart, and he began to worry about Yin Yu's progress.

"Is it necessary to have an eyeball?" Yin Yu asked.

"This is already a discounted price." The crow said, speaking very frankly, "If you hadn't carried the weapon, I would have bought two."

Yin Yu stopped by the river not far from the ruins of the hut, because the princess left along this river before, and the surface of the river was frozen into ice.It was the third time he had returned to this place, and this inexplicable ghost hitting the wall made him realize one thing: Let the crow lead the way is a must-happen plot.

"Can I use the eyeballs of other animals?" he asked.

The crow sat on the twig of a small tree by the river and flapped its wings. "Okay," it said, opening its mouth like a smile, "if you can find it..."

As soon as it finished speaking, the ice on the river suddenly cracked.A shiny little thing rose from the water beside the river, faster and faster, as if the force of gravity had been reversed.The crow immediately flew up, trying to catch it, but Yin Yu was faster than it—he sensed what might happen when he heard the cracking of the ice, and grabbed the little thing in his hand .

Then he immediately looked towards the river, but unfortunately only his own reflection appeared in the turbulent water waves.

The crow uttered angrily and fell back up the tree. "Give it to me!" It stretched its neck and said anxiously.

That thing is a blue gem, the shape is close to shuttle.Yin Yu held it and shook it in front of the crow. "Lead the way?" he said.

"Lead the way." The crow said reluctantly, "What kind of luck is this? This is the first time I've seen an eyeball that flew out of the river instead of being dug out."

Is this an eyeball?Yin Yu looked at the gemstone in his hand, but he didn't know how the crow saw it.The crow left the branch and flew over, gave a resentful "crack" to Yin Yu's timely movement of closing his palms to hold the gem, and landed on his shoulder.

"Well, I promise to take you out of the forest," it said, "but first you have to go somewhere with me—to take this eyeball to Granny."
