Bab 48: Chapter Forty Eight - A Team Of Six People!

The situation in the tunnel had become weirder at this moment. Two male leads and two Tylers walked together in utmost silence, surrounded by an awkward atmosphere. Both Tyler and Dean were trying their best to curb their desires of latching onto the fake people.

But they were silent because they knew the consequences of fighting the fake ones.

They would only end up dying.

And in this situation, at least Dean could tell where the real Tyler was standing. That was his only relief because ever since they spotted the fake Tyler, the latter didn't even think about fighting and simply joined their team as if it was the most natural thing to do.

After that, they kept walking on this path for hours.

Just when they thought that they wouldn't be able to find Adam on this path, they heard someone's conservation voice.

"So, you're me?" Two voices talked in sync. Then the same voices paused and continued angrily. "Why're you repeating me?!"

It seemed this made that person even more flustered. So he got angrier and said, "If you repeat another sentence with me, I'll kill you!"

But to his dismay, the voice continued to accompany him almost in sync. "Fine! I won't talk to you!"

Tyler found this conversation funny. He knew what was going on. Adam perhaps must have found his clone and started chattering with the other only to find that the clone was likely to repeat everything he said. It was very annoying to the point that frustration was clearly audible from Adam's tone. It was just that hearing the same voice in sync made it exceptionally creepy.

Tyler couldn't help but purse his lips and quickly called out. "Idiot." But to his dismay, even his voice was in sync with his fake version.

When Adam looked over, he almost felt like he was dreaming. What the hell was wrong with him? At first, he saw another version of himself who repeated the words he said, and now, he saw two versions of Stanley and Dean.

This wasn't a horror dream of his, right?

Adam rubbed his eyes, but the scene before him remained intact.

Tyler could almost tell what this person with glasses was thinking. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think too much. There are fake versions of us too, and we met them just like how you found your clone."

Adam nodded in understanding as his fake version nodded along with him. He glanced at Tyler standing on the left and the one standing on the right, confused at whom he should address.

Seeing this kind of childish behavior, Tyler got a headache and decided to ignore this person.

Adam didn't have any choice but to walk behind Dean.

But this time, Dean already had a dark expression on his face. He had already disliked the presence of this person with glasses who seemed to attract Tyler's attention unknowingly.

The best example was now. Before they had found Adam, Tyler's attention was partially toward the two Deans walking behind him. He would constantly glance behind and then avert his eyes as if nothing happened. But now, it had been ten whole minutes, and Tyler was still staring at Adam!

Jealousy sprouted in the male lead's heart as he turned around and glared at the third person. Both the real and fake Deans turned around in sync.

Adam suddenly sensed cold air around him, making him shiver. He instantly looked at the source of coldness only to find that two male leads were glaring at him. The man with glasses shivered and lowered his head.

Both of his comrades were crazy people! One of them would just talk to him coldly while another would glare at him constantly now and then, making him shiver in fright. He still didn't know what he did to offend them!

So just like that, the team of six people walked in the tunnel made out of bricks. Yellowish light flickered on the wall every time a gust of wind passed, but then the firelamps on the wall didn't budge. It continued to give them light until they reached another intersection point. One of the pathways led them to the road filled with light while the other was shrouded in darkness.

Tyler paused and squinted his eyes before stepping his foot toward the dark path.

Seeing this, Adam's limbs trembled, and he couldn't help but ask, "Why darkness?"

"Because it's safer."

Had Stanley gone mad?! For Adam, everything related to dark was nothing but horror. But he still couldn't tell why this person decided to choose this road. But no matter how curious he was, he didn't dare to open his mouth.

He knew that walking on the brighter path alone was more dangerous. He feared that if he were to voice out his thoughts, Stanley would throw him out in annoyance. So he kept his mouth sealed.

But there was someone bolder than him.

"I still think we should've chosen the brighter path." Dean knew why this person decided to go for the darker one, but he still wanted to talk to Tyler and try coaxing him.

But to his misfortune, even Tyler knew what was going on in the male lead's mind. He glanced at the person coldly before turning back to face the darkness, slowing down his pace. "If you still remember, this is a mirror world. Since this third stage seems to have our clones who copied our actions almost as if they were our mirror reflections. So it's safe to assume that we are inside the mirror in this third level."

This information satisfied Dean because even he was thinking the same, but Adam, on the other side, was confused.

Mirror world? Why did Stanley say this was a mirror world? And what was the meaning of the third level?

He remembered climbing inside the mirrors two times already. So that meant they must have passed two levels previously.

And what did Stanley mean by being inside a mirror in the third level?! Adam's small mind couldn't comprehend this fact, and he couldn't help but ask, "So in this mirror world, we are inside the mirror?"

How's that even possible? Doesn't that mean that he was dreaming, and in that dream, he suddenly slept, and he was dreaming again?

Doesn't that mean he was dreaming about dreaming?

This was exactly what it seemed like! He saw an illusion that he was inside another illusion! What kind of messy thing was that?!

Adam was getting a splitting heading, and he stopped thinking about this. Anyway, these two people seemed to have more knowledge than him. They would find a way out even if he didn't think about it.

After this thought popped up in his mind, he calmed down.
