Neverland

"It's too metaphysical." Xu Muzhou sighed: "If you look at it from a normal person's point of view, 1 people would never have imagined such a bizarre thing... To be honest, since I discovered that this castle has two layers of mirrors. Afterwards, I kept wondering what this 'mirror image' meant—was it just referring to the difference between you and Toya, or did it mean something else."

"But later when I figured out that you and 'Tuoya' are actually the same person, many things seemed to be cleared up." Xu Muzhou said, "Tuoya is you, and you are Toya."

"Tuoya" heard the words, his eyes flickered, his lips were tightly pursed, and he stared at Xu Muzhou even more closely.

The resentment in her eyes is like substance, and the brown pupils are full of strong emotions that cannot be resolved. They are full of pain and unwillingness that have been accumulated for many years. Those negative emotions have not been diluted by time. It fermented and rotted, and finally became a jar of bitter wine that could not be spit out or swallowed.

If emotions and eyes could kill, Xu Muzhou felt that he would probably have died thousands of times by now.

But he shrugged and didn't care too much.

——Because he has found the final node of this mission.

Xu Muzhou felt confidently that he no longer needed to eat black bread for another day.

"To be honest, I used to think that Toya was very contradictory. He looked like a piece of paper, and his personality seemed to have only positive sides and no negative sides." Xu Muzhou said, "But now it seems that he is not actually Nope...he just cut himself apart, with 'he' on the front and 'you' on the back."

"Right." Xu Muzhou said, "Tuoya."

Probably because Xu Muzhou poked something, "Tuoya" was finally willing to give him some feedback - she raised her head and grinned at Xu Muzhou.

"Tuoya" probably doesn't make this kind of expression very often. She smiled stiffly, the corners of her mouth stretched outwards, the muscles on her cheeks were raised a little stiffly, and her eyes were full of strong irony, as if she was just looking at her face. It's just a mask that doesn't fit.

She raised her finger to point to the hideous scar on her neck, then pointed to the door of Xu Muzhou's room, and finally shifted her finger to Xu Muzhou himself.

Then "Tuoya" withdrew his hand and made a cutting gesture on his neck with his index finger.

After doing all this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the smile on her face widened a little.

She was probably really "happy", so that the originally stiff expression seemed to have a little bit of authenticity.

This kind of blatant threat simply ignored the two big men in front of him, Yan Cen frowned slightly, and took a step forward in displeasure.

Xu Muzhou caught the bad-tempered Yan Damao quickly with his eyes and hands, and said softly, "Why are you angry with a semi-finished product?"

While Xu Muzhou was talking, he grabbed Yan Cen's wrist and touched Yan Cen's wrist in a fawning manner. Yan Cen glanced at him, and was bribed by his bright smile, but didn't say anything.

"Then finish it quickly." Yan Cen said.

"Okay." Xu Muzhou smiled at him, blinked slyly, and said meaningfully: "It's just right, finish it soon, I have something to tell you when I go back."

Xu Muzhou's words were not quite right, Yan Cen smacked, and before he had time to ask more, Xu Muzhou let go of his hand and turned his head to engage in his "career".

The warm touch on the wrist was fleeting, and the temperature was taken away by the cold wind. Yan Cen twisted his wrist uncomfortably, and put his left hand into his trouser pocket.

Since the beginning of this world, Yan Cen has always been a little "passive and sabotage". Xu Muzhou couldn't figure it out before, but he found it a little funny when he thought about it later.

——Some people seem to only gain IQ and experience when they get older, but their love outlook does not increase at all, which makes people worry about it.

Xu Muzhou sighed inwardly half-amusingly and half-distressed, and took over the progress of this task automatically and consciously, and was going to solve this matter from beginning to end when he returned to Neverland.

There are always people in the province who are vacillating, and in the crystal ball, Baba has to create a completely different version of "the future" to play with.

"Tuoya" couldn't speak, Xu Muzhou took a second look at the wound on her neck, and had a faint guess in his heart.

"You want me to be afraid of you?" Xu Muzhou said with a smile, he was probably a little tired from standing, so he just sat down cross-legged on the ground, looking up at "Tuoya" not far away in a relaxed manner.

"There must be a reason for killing people. Whether you kill Joseph or me, what reason is there?" Xu Muzhou said, "Is it because I don't want others to set foot in this place, or is there some other reason?"

"Tuoya" didn't respond, she turned her head and glanced deep in the castle, her meaning was self-evident - that was the direction where the dagger fell.

"But to be honest, I don't trust that Toya, and I don't fully trust you either." Xu Muzhou patted the dust on his knees, and said to himself: "Everyone is a liar, even if you two are together It’s the same if it looks like a whole. That boy can lie about meeting Joseph, let alone a person like you who has 'negative' written all over his body."

"Tuoya" still didn't respond. She looked into the depths of the castle, as if she was still thinking about how to retrieve the dagger.

She looks like a simple single-celled creature, with only one tendon in her mind. Whether she listened to Xu Muzhou's words is a problem. Xu Muzhou's rambling for half a day sounds like chicken It's no different from talking to a duck.

Xu Muzhou didn't know where his addiction to class came from today, but he talked about it with great interest, endlessly.

"To be honest, the illusion you showed me is also fake." Xu Muzhou asked.

"Tuoya" quickly turned her head to look at Xu Muzhou, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and finally there was a little doubt in her eyes which was rarely seen.

"Don't be surprised." Xu Muzhou said, "Didn't you two tell me that this castle was mirrored, and you and that 'Tuoya' were also mirrored. Judging from the function of the crystal ball, it should also be mirrored. Mirrored ... but at the end of the day, these things seem to be diametrically opposed, but they still have something in common."

"Just as you and 'Tuoya' are one person, this castle will not change from the ground to the sky." Xu Muzhou chuckled and said, "Then since the 'future' in the crystal ball has moisture, why You'd think it would be so easy for me to believe there was no 'past'."

"Let me guess, if the 'future' is achieved because of fear, what about the 'past'?" Xu Muzhou said, "Is it regret?"

"Toya" didn't move.

"What is that? Jealousy? Resentment?" Xu Muzhou asked one by one in a casual tone like asking prices in a vegetable market: "Still... regret it?"

"Tuoya"'s eyes flickered for a moment, the wavering was extremely short, but it did not escape Xu Muzhou's eyes.

"That's it." Xu Muzhou made a final decision.

"People are actually quite interesting creatures. They are selfish, jealous, sinister, and changeable." Xu Muzhou said: "But they are also philanthropic, kind, sincere, and soft-hearted."

"No matter what the ratio is, these are all part of the 'human being'." Xu Muzhou said: "It's just that if someone has more of the former, he will be called a bad person, and if someone has more of the latter, he will be called a good person."

"But in the final analysis, these are not conflicts, they are all normal." Xu Muzhou said.

"Tuoya" pursed her lips in silence for a while, and then opened her mouth suddenly. She seemed to want to say something, but she opened and closed her lips in vain, but said nothing.

The wound on her neck may have severed her vocal cords, or it may have completely deprived her of the ability to speak.

Judging from the severity of the wound, if a normal person suffered such an injury, he might not be able to survive long ago—let alone in such a place where there is a shortage of medical treatment.

So from this point of view, Xu Muzhou is convinced that the person who created this wound for "Tuoya" really wanted to put her to death.

Thinking of this, Xu Muzhou sighed in his heart, feeling a little pitiful for "Tuoya" in front of him.

Because in this "prison" where almost no one set foot, no matter from which angle you look at it, the only person who can cause such a wound is actually Toya herself.

——or, strictly speaking, the well-behaved and kind "Male Toya".

"But human beings are also hypocritical. Because of hypocrisy, they are vulnerable, and because they are fragile, they suffer." Xu Muzhou said, "...he can't accept you."

This conclusion seems very unconstrained, but when you think about it carefully, it can only be the only conclusion of this mission.

——Even this conclusion has been subtly written in every corner and detail of this castle, but he has never discovered it.

Just as the "bridge" is flawed, whether it is a future mingled with fear or a past that is self-deceived because of regret, these all indicate that both sides of "Toya" are actually flawed, whether male or female.

It's just that the angles of the defects are not the same.

Who killed Joseph between the two, Xu Muzhou is still not sure, the information in the illusion is too thin, and the subjective meaning is also very strong, the "Tuoya" in front of him can't speak, the information he can get So little that he couldn't say anything.

But no matter what, what Xu Muzhou can be sure of is that Toya, the seemingly kind-hearted man, knows about Joseph.

That's why he prevented Xu Muzhou and the others from going to the attic, and he would be vague when mentioning Joseph.

No matter what kind of feelings Toya has for Joseph, in the final analysis, even if Joseph's body is buried on the floor of the attic, he still refuses to admit the fact that Joseph is dead, let alone admit that Joseph died of "My own" hand.

——Just as he refused to admit his "self" in the mirror.
