# Chapter 2993: Another Xu Huo
"Could it be related to the completeness of the reflection?" Xiao Yang said. "Anyway, in other places, except for large dressing mirrors, our shadows are never as clear and distinct as they are in the water—one-to-one restoration without any distortion."
Xu Huo nodded. "Makes sense."
Xiao Yang couldn't help staring at him. "Mr. Xu, I think you'd better not go near the water."
Since the reflection people imitated real people, who here could be stronger than Xu Huo? If they actually imitated one of him, the rest of them would be in for serious trouble!
"Have you seen your own reflection?" Xu Huo asked.
Xiao Yang shook his head. Aside from those Wang family employees, no one else had seen their own reflection. This should be related to the completion level of the reflection people—only when the imitation was accurate enough, or when one's strength reached a certain level, would a player's reflection person come out and move around.
Accurate enough imitation... Just how accurate did the reflection person have to be to truly succeed in imitation?
They couldn't imitate props and instruments, but could they imitate Super Evolution?
Or did they use Spiritual Power to interfere, causing players in the instance to have illusions, mistakenly believing there was another reflection person identical to themselves in the instance?
Xu Huo frowned slightly. If Spiritual Power could reach such a level, then the spatial separation in this instance was only playing a supporting role.
This instance and the Wisteria instance were both mental-type instances. The way Spiritual Power operated was different, but it truly demonstrated another peak that Spiritual Power could reach.
The Wisteria instance pulled everyone's Spiritual Power into the same dimension. Regardless of strength, those with strong Mental Defense Lines, or rather strong spiritual bodies, clearly had an advantage. They could kill a person by killing their materialized spiritual body.
This Reflection Instance, on the other hand, formed a materialized spiritual energy body through reflection. In terms of method, it was somewhat like a materialized Life Core, but in terms of activity, it was extremely close to a living personality.
The reflection person's killing method was to throw the real person into the reflection world. How those who entered the reflection world died was still unclear. But if the reflection person possessed the real person's power, wouldn't that be the opposite of the Wisteria instance? The Wisteria instance killed people by killing their spiritual bodies, while this instance killed concrete people through spiritual bodies projected into the real world. One relied on non-physical energy, while the other forcibly materialized energy.
The Wisteria instance could kill a person by killing their spiritual body, undoubtedly breaking through their Mental Defense Line. Was the Reflection Instance the same?
The Wang family employees were the first to be found by the reflection people. This was certainly because they were weaker compared to players, but regarding the interaction between reflection and the reflection world, wasn't this also them gradually adapting to the state of this venue after being affected by spiritual energy? It was also a release and interaction of spiritual energy.
In other words, when the reflection person succeeded in imitation, it was also when the imitated person was closest to the reflection person. At this time, the reflection person could easily kill the player, but the player could also take the opportunity to kill the reflection person.
"The Personal Panel opened!" Xiao Yang suddenly shouted in surprise.
Xu Huo immediately opened his Personal Panel upon hearing this. He only had time to take out a few instruments before the Personal Panel automatically disappeared again.
"Damn it!" Xiao Yang cursed loudly. "I didn't even have time to open the Under Dimension account!"
The Under Dimension wasn't opened, and the communicator prepared in advance with the instance details written on it couldn't be sent out either.
"Next time you see your own reflection person, or get caught by a shadow, find a way to kill it," Xu Huo reminded him. "The reflection person appearing on its own is an opportunity."
Xiao Yang certainly wanted to, but he had already tried in the restaurant earlier. Those reflection people were more like condensed energy. They looked human-shaped, but when you reached out to grab them, they turned into air. Moreover, they were good at escaping. Not to mention in the lake water that reflected light everywhere, even in rooms and on paths, they could escape from unimaginable places!
Xu Huo looked to the side. "When you get back, tear down the curtains and bedsheets to make a bag. If you encounter a problem, first try wrapping yourself in it."
This was the lowest-cost way to guard against reflective objects.
Xiao Yang thought it made a lot of sense. He called the other two to go make cloth bags and thoughtfully prepared two for Xu Huo as well, earnestly requesting that if Xu Huo discovered his reflection person, he must kill it.
"The clearance requirement only says to kill the reflection, it doesn't say you have to kill it yourself," he said with a very clever expression.
It was very cold on winter nights. After the excitement passed, the three of them couldn't stand it anymore. Looking at Xu Huo who was still sitting by the lake fishing, they tentatively suggested finding a room to warm up.
Xu Huo had a feeling he definitely wouldn't see his reflection person in the short term, so he put down the fishing rod and went into the room with them.
Before they could warm up, an employee appeared at the door like a ghost. "Mr. and Mrs. are calling you to come eat."
Xiao Yang and the other two looked grim. Had someone died again?
The group went to the restaurant, the same one where Xu Huo had removed the door panels. Besides them, this time five casually dressed ordinary people were sitting there.
"They're here to repair the building," Xiao Yang quietly reminded Xu Huo.
Xu Huo observed the five. Only one young woman seemed a bit dazed; the other four were very calm.
Half of the staff standing around the restaurant had been replaced with repair personnel. The only overlap was that young woman.
After everyone sat down, "Wang Chengren" and "Ms. Yao" appeared again. This time, what was placed on the dining table were severed fingers, severed limbs, and other things. There were even two complete arms placed in the center of the table.
The moment the plate covers were lifted, Xiao Yang's face changed. "They're our people!"
A player had been killed!
This meal was clearly different from the previous ones. Whether it was Wang Chengren and his wife or the employees, everyone present, including Xu Huo, could feel the oppressive force coming from them. This almost tangible threat pressed in from all directions, constantly compressing their living space, making it difficult even to breathe.
Additionally, whether it was their imagination or not, all the reflection people seemed to have grown taller. But upon closer inspection, their height and build didn't seem to have changed much.
Xu Huo turned his gaze to "Ms. Yao," who always spoke first but whose real person wasn't actually in the instance venue.
The other reflection people all had specific imitation targets, but Wang Chengren's wife should still be in the sanatorium. Yet her image had materialized in the instance. Did this mean she was a very important part of the entire instance?
Xu Huo stood up. All the reflection people looked over.
"Ms. Yao, would you like to try my wine?" He smiled at the reflection person on the left, lifting the scarlet wine bottle. "It looks like it has a stronger flavor than the wine in front of you."
However, Ms. Yao only glanced at him. Her aura was even stronger than before as she commanded, "Sit back down."
The others at the dining table all felt the pressure, their heads involuntarily lowering.
Xu Huo maintained his original posture without moving. At the same time, Spiritual Power spread from under his feet. Black materialized objects wrapped around Ms. Yao's feet, then quickly covered her entire body. This time, he didn't give the reflection person any chance to breathe. He took off his glove and pressed it onto her shoulder!
"Ms. Yao" dissolved into a scattered mass of chaotic energy that dissipated into the air. The next second, the entire restaurant's field of vision began to shake. It wasn't the ground vibrating, but reflection worlds appearing on all the tableware, utensils, and even the floor. These reflection worlds jumped continuously like disordered film footage, occasionally showing several figures—from their shocked expressions, they weren't all reflection people!
Before Xu Huo could make his next move, his gaze suddenly fixed on the floor. On the shiny floor were also several reflection worlds. Another "Xu Huo" continuously passed through three overlapping reflection worlds and walked into the restaurant directly opposite him. The other party was also standing on the dining table, looking down at him.
The same face, the same clothes, but it was very easy to tell that these were completely two different people.
So this was his reflection person.
Xu Huo raised an eyebrow and quickly reached his right hand toward the ground.
