QT: Capture The Villain's Love

Chapter 31: Ripples In The Mirror

[This type of illusion was a trap meant to get enough time for the spell caster to suck all the power. In short, all the power from the bodies of the people trapped inside the illusion would be sucked inside Stanley's body unknowingly.

Initially, the spell caster wasn't supposed to enter the illusion and would keep sucking in power in the real world. But since Stanley didn't know about all the energy-sucking things, the butler urged him to enter the illusion too. The poor villain easily believed his butler and entered the mirror world, only to get trapped.

In the real world, the butler was sitting beside Stanley in reality, using another spell to suck away the mirror spell's power. So Stanley's real body was just an empty shell transferring energy from one place to another when his consciousness was stuck in the mirror world.]

Tyler felt this all the information he just read was a little bit complicated.

He frowned and muttered to himself. "So Stanley didn't know anything about the last step of the spell where the spell caster would suck energy, and the butler replaced him? So, in this case, Stanley's body in the real world became an empty shell. So that means" He went through it again and understood. "Stanley's body didn't have his soul, and his soul was trapped inside the illusion like other people."

He scoffed. "Is he dumb? How could he think he would be able to help people by entering the illusion?"

He shook his head and continued.

[In the end, it was the main lead who thought of something unique. Since it was a mirror world, the only way to get out was to see the reality. So skillfully, the male lead used another shred of mirror to reflect the room and entered the mirror. But before he could step out, he was stopped by the villain.

Stanley wanted his childhood friend to learn more about long-lost humanity. So he urged the other person to spend more time in the mirror. But Dean could feel that his power was getting weaker and weaker as the day passed. So he knew that if he stayed longer, he would die. And he thought that Stanley was lying, and the latter wasn't his friend anymore.

So the two had a face-off, and Dean killed Stanley. As soon as Stanley was killed, Dean got out of the mirror world. Then he realized that the way to get out of the mirror world was merely to kill the spell caster's consciousness in the mirror world that was obstructing him.

But when he jumped out, the butler suffered a backlash because he hadn't sucked all the power, and Stanley was killed way before anything could happen!]

Tyler read and reread it as if he couldn't believe his eyes. The villain died just like that? Was this butler stupid? How could he send Stanley knowing that if the youth's consciousness were killed, the latter would die for real, making the butler suffer a backlash?

Wait, did Tyler miss something out? He went through an extended length of information and finally understood. The butler didn't know the spell correctly and was unaware of the fact that the spell caster was prohibited from entering the illusion. And if the caster entered and was killed, the people trapped inside would be able to come back to reality.

Not only would the trapped people wake up, but they would also get their power back. No wonder the butler suffered a backlash.

Tyler sighed and read the climax.

[After watching Stanley's dead body and butler's expressions, Dean realized that he had made a mistake and instantly killed butler. He later gave Stanley a good funeral.]

Finally, the story ended. It seemed to be going on and on and on. With all the complexities, Tyler couldn't wait for it to finish!

It wasn't like Tyler hated the complex scenes. He liked coding, and there was nothing more complicated than that. It was just that he was a little irritated after seeing dozens of pages filled with small letters in the system interface. He didn't want to waste his time anymore and read the entire thing!

He really wanted to see whether the person playing David in the previous world had followed him here or not!

But he couldn't just skip out a few scenes just because he was irritated. He read through the entire thing and finally let out a sigh of relief.

He closed the interface and glanced around. What point of the story was going on?

Tyler frowned and glanced around. This room seemed normal, but he didn't believe that he would randomly find himself in any kind of "normal" situations, especially after facing the previous worlds.

He glanced at the mirror again and approached it, intending to touch it. Just as his finger touched the surface, ripples appeared around his fingers as if he had only touched the surface of the water. And his finger easily went through the mirror.

He was amazed after seeing this, but he retracted his finger.

It seemed like he was already in the illusion.

If he were outside, he would've stopped himself from using the spell in the first place! And anyway, he didn't care if the world ended up getting off the track. He would just find Dean easily and investigate him. If the latter were really that person, Tyler would have found a secluded place to spend this lifetime in peace!

But it looked like he would have to follow the storyline and all the arcs to find the male lead.

It wasn't like the male lead would be available on the other side of the room, right?

At this moment, Tyler scanned the memories of the original owner of his body and understood the situation. This particular scene was where the villain also had entered but didn't leave. He just continued to stubbornly wait here until he was summoned right on the path where the male lead was standing.

After thinking of this, Tyler frowned. It seemed that the villain didn't intend to go and obstruct the male lead's path. Instead, by using the mirror trick, the main character was able to trigger the villain's summoning.

That means the mirror trick was nothing but a false alarm, and the real way to get out of the illusion is only killing the villain.

Thinking of this, Tyler couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

It looks like he would have to die again to get all the characters out of the illusion.

Just as he was thinking, the mirror suddenly displayed ripples. Soon, a hand stretched out from the other side of the mirror, followed by an entire body.

With a few seconds, a person was standing right before his eyes. But it wasn't just anyone. It was Dean, the main character himself!

While reading the storyline, the system this time presented the images of every character beside the introduction. So he couldn't forget this face after seeing that image for so many times! Who told the system to repeat the image every time it mentioned anything about Dean?

Tyler's eyes flashed an emotion before he lowered his head. He pursed his lips that were threatening to give out a smile.

This way of entering the room so suddenly was way too familiar.
