Chapter 100: Chapter 91: Equipment Drop

"Magic Mirror, please tell me, where is my junior, Xia Shuran, right now?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

The Magic Mirror in his hand suddenly began to spasm violently.

It was a lot like his phone, which often did the same.

After a series of spasms,

The mirror’s surface automatically lit up, silently playing a live feed.

In the image,

Xia Shuran was trapped in the Mirror World. She sat all alone before a cold mirror, her eyes red and her face filled with helplessness and despair, looking as if she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Gu Qing’s brows furrowed, and his heart sank.

’How could this be?’

’The mirror specter had clearly been shattered, and the Mirror World collapsed along with it. Why is my junior still trapped inside?’

’Could there be more than one mirror specter?’

Just as Gu Qing’s thoughts grew heavy,

The Magic Mirror in his hand began to spasm violently again, and two lines of text slowly appeared on its surface:

[Want to save Xia Shuran?]

[It’s simple. Just pour a whole lot of Extraordinary Power into me. Feed me until I’m full and satisfied, and I’ll let her out.]

Reading the message, Gu Qing froze on the spot, his eyes filled with astonishment.

’This Magic Mirror actually has its own consciousness?’

’Wait!’

’Could it be that mirror specter from before?’

’It didn’t actually die, but just ran out of Extraordinary Power and went dormant?’

’And its true form is this Magic Mirror in my hands?’

’As long as it absorbs enough Extraordinary Power, it can regain its human form?’

’But when its Extraordinary Power is low, it reverts to its original form—a mirror?’

For a moment,

Countless theories swirled through Gu Qing’s mind.

He calmed himself and asked, "Why should I believe you?"

The Magic Mirror spasmed violently, and then text appeared on its surface: [Because Xia Shuran is still my prisoner.]

Gu Qing tried to bargain. "Let’s get something straight. You’re in my hands now, so I have the upper hand. You release Xia Shuran first, and then I’ll give you Extraordinary Power."

He then added, "I’m a model youth of the new era. I’m far more trustworthy than you."

The Magic Mirror started to spasm yet again.

But this time, it only spasmed twice before going completely still.

Only two words appeared on its surface: [You don’t...]

"You don’t...?"

"What does that mean?"

"Why stop halfway?"

Gu Qing asked, staring at the Magic Mirror in his hand.

But the Magic Mirror didn’t react at all. It seemed to have completely exhausted its Extraordinary Power, unable to even maintain basic consciousness.

Gu Qing waited a little longer, but when the Magic Mirror remained motionless, he gave up on bargaining. He would have to agree to its demand and inject it with Extraordinary Power.

The problem was...

’I’m just an Extraordinary Contactor.’

’I can’t generate Extraordinary Power.’

’I can’t inject Extraordinary Power into the Magic Mirror.’

’So how do I break this impasse?’

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and finally thought of his former high school English teacher—Liu Zhiyi.

Sister Zhiyi is an Extraordinary Awakened; she can endlessly generate her own Extraordinary Power.

Injecting the Magic Mirror with Extraordinary Power would be a piece of cake for her.

"Right, I’ll go ask Sister Zhiyi for help."

Having made up his mind, Gu Qing didn’t hesitate. He immediately hailed a Didi to go home and find Liu Zhiyi.

As for the Magic Mirror in his hand...

Gu Qing simply stuffed it into his phone case.

He let it sit there with his ID card.

Pressed tightly together.

The Magic Mirror was a bit smaller than his phone, so it fit perfectly inside the case.

The Magic Mirror liked to spasm, and his phone liked to spasm. They were a match made in heaven; it would be a crime not to put them together.

On the way home,

Gu Qing suddenly thought of a problem.

’This Magic Mirror is an Extraordinary object.’

’What if Sister Zhiyi sees this treasure and gets greedy, deciding to take it for herself?’

’So what if she takes it?’

’Why am I overthinking this?’

’The most urgent thing right now is to rescue my junior first.’
