"Come with me, I'll take you out of here," Wen Wen said, extending his hand to Meng Jiao.
Meng Jiao shook her head violently, unwilling to leave the room for anything.
Wen Wen patiently coaxed, "Don't worry, I'm very strong, those monsters are no match for me."
"I'm not going out, I'll die if I go out, I'll die if I go out..." Meng Jiao covered her head, completely ignoring Wen Wen's words.
Wen Wen clicked his tongue, "Her appearance suggests it's not mere fear, but a powerful psychological suggestion that confines her here."
"Then gentle means won't work."
Thus, Wen Wen immediately adopted a ferocious expression, the holy light behind his head transforming into thick black mist.
Meng Jiao froze, too stunned to speak.
Wen Wen grabbed her chin and spoke harshly, "Listen here, I'm saving you. It's my business, and you have no right to refuse. I don't need your permission. Cooperate, and you'll suffer less. Otherwise... Hmph, hmph, hmph!"
Ultimately, Meng Jiao succumbed to Wen Wen's intimidating demeanor. Wen Wen tied a rope to each of her hands, leading her out of the bedroom as if she were livestock.
However, Wen Wen soon realized that taking Meng Jiao along was perhaps not a wise choice.
Her presence would reduce Wen Wen's efficiency, and she couldn't use the shortcuts Wen Wen created, forcing him to navigate the maze's intended paths.
Well... Wen Wen's so-called shortcuts involved using explosives to blast through walls when there was no path in the desired direction.
Wen Wen, having consumed a massive amount of Demon Hunter Coins to purchase various explosives, had enough to level the entire place several times over, so he used them without hesitation.
But while Wen Wen could use these shortcuts, Meng Jiao encountered them as if hitting a wall, unable to pass through.
It seemed Wen Wen could pass through these walls due to Jidelo, and perhaps the containment facility itself.
Others, even if they destroyed the walls, could not pass through the openings; this was one of the maze's rules.
This also explained why continuously changing positions could hinder the so-called 'monsters,' as those monsters were also bound by this rule.
Next, Wen Wen tried to spatial-teleport with Meng Jiao, only to discover that he could only travel using his spatial marks, while Meng Jiao could not.
This implied that within this maze, only Wen Wen was special.
But Wen Wen couldn't abandon Meng Jiao. If they separated, Wen Wen wouldn't even be able to find her.
Therefore, Wen Wen's only remaining option was to first place Meng Jiao into the containment facility, allowing him to advance with the facility.
However, within the Mirror Dimension, imprisoning someone in the containment facility took a long time, which gave Wen Wen a headache.
But when he tried to open the containment facility, his eyes lit up. Establishing a connection with the facility was incredibly easy, with none of the sluggishness Yu Han experienced when trying to enter!
There could be two reasons for this phenomenon. First, Wen Wen's own uniqueness, but even he wouldn't feel absolutely no resistance.
The second possibility was that the containment facility had also entered the Mirror World along with Wen Wen!
When he communicated with the facility, he didn't need to traverse the entire world, which was why it was so effortless.
If it were the second possibility, Wen Wen might need to readjust his positioning of the containment facility.
But regardless, Wen Wen first needed to send Meng Jiao to safety. He knocked her unconscious, bound her with chains, and prepared to stuff her into the containment facility.
However, halfway through, Wen Wen stopped, placed Meng Jiao aside, and stared in one direction.
He sensed something approaching, and it was moving very fast!
Wen Wen readied his weapon, preparing for battle, and then a bizarre creature rushed towards him.
It was a two-meter-tall monster, with four legs and two claws. Its head resembled an elongated human skull, and silver flames burned within its two eye sockets.
Its physique was slender yet ferocious, its body covered in sharp angles. Its mirror-like skin reflected the surrounding scenery, making it look incredibly strange.
"This must be the monster Meng Jiao spoke of... It certainly looks strange. The guards the Mirror Nightmare mentioned might be this thing too."
"Here... Mirror World. Humans... you... expelled."
After speaking, the monster lunged at Wen Wen, its movements as swift as a leopard and as fierce as a tiger. But such an opponent posed no threat to Wen Wen.
His black hair clumped together, directly enveloping the monster.
Yet, these hairs, tougher than steel wires, were subtly failing to restrain the monster.
"This shouldn't be happening. Judging by its movements, it's not even as strong as an average disaster-class entity. Why... my hair is rapidly breaking!"
"No, it's not breaking, it's disappearing."
Wen Wen released the monster. Several cracks appeared on its body, caused by immense pressure, but a significant amount of Wen Wen's hair had also vanished.
Furthermore, even after releasing the monster, the hair continued to disappear, first losing its color and becoming ethereal, then vanishing entirely.
Wen Wen skillfully dodged the monster's attacks while continuously observing it.
"Corrosion? Erasure? Annihilation?"
"No, none of those. The hair that disappeared is still 'alive,' just not here..."
The monster, missing Wen Wen several times, stopped and let out a roar like fingernails scraping against metal. The roar, though piercing, carried a specific frequency.
Then, Wen Wen heard over a dozen monsters responding to the roar!
"There are a dozen more of these things? This is troublesome."
The monster looked at Wen Wen and said, "We... Mirror Guards... expel... intruders..."
Listening to the monster's fragmented speech, Wen Wen pieced together their true identity. Sudan Novel Network.
They were likely guardians of this Mirror World, similar to 'police,' protecting the native Mirror World and expelling anything from outside the mirror.
This explained why Wen Wen's attack disappeared upon contact; his hair had likely been sent to the real world.
The maze occupied by the Mirror Nightmare likely existed to control these Mirror Guards. He had introduced too many things not belonging to this world into the Mirror World, inevitably drawing the Mirror Guards' attack.
In response to the Mirror Guards' attacks, the Mirror Nightmare chose to trap them within the maze. This strategy not only avoided direct confrontation but also utilized the Mirror Guards to enhance the maze's defensive capabilities.
However, this type of monster was not invincible. The cracks on its body proved that it could be injured by attacks exceeding its limit.
But one monster was manageable for Wen Wen; with a dozen of these monsters attacking together, even Wen Wen might not be able to retreat unscathed.
