Chapter 4, Initial Encounter with Non-Flowering Plants

Suddenly, in the mirror, a woman dressed in a white long dress appeared behind him. Her long black hair covered her entire face, and her pale hands were reaching towards Li Tao's neck

Ji Qianming's eyes lit up as he secretly activated his abilities

He took out another small mirror from the drawer, tossed it into the air, and the leaf pattern on his chest shimmered slightly

The current issue is that I am not yet proficient in its application, much like an infant who has just begun to familiarize themselves with their own body, requiring more practice.

Is this a limitation inherent to one's abilities, or is it simply due to insufficient control over oneself? He could not help but begin to ponder.

The mirror appeared to be enchanted, as it steadily floated in mid-air

Li Tao patted Ji Qianming on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You need to be careful living here by yourself; the world has been quite unstable lately, even superheroes have emerged."

Ji Qianming's old face flushed with embarrassment as he waved his hand to disperse the scene

"Hey Qianming, where did you go last night? We were quite worried about you."

Superman? Ji Qianming was taken aback

This frightened Li Tao so much that he scrambled out of the bathroom, muttering as he ran, "Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, may the evil spirits retreat, bless me, bless me. I will go to the temple to pray when I get back. What kind of strange thing is this"

His eyes grew increasingly bright as he patted Wang Wenrui on the shoulder and said with a half-smile, "Let's go, there's nothing to worry about"

Ji Qianming shook his head and let out a gentle sigh, realizing that he was still a bit anxious

Li Tao suddenly sat down on the ground, his face pale, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the mirror, his lips quivering uncontrollably

Subsequently, he sequentially tested the window, the floor tiles, and the television screen, ultimately summarizing the patterns.

Not all surfaces with reflective properties can alter all physical laws; the forces that can be activated are related to the strength of the object's reflective ability. For instance, he could easily control the movement of the mirror with his mind, while the effect on the water surface could only create ripples, and the floor tiles and television screen remained completely still

A scream, akin to that of a slaughtered pig, emanated from the bathroom. Wang Wenrui heard the sound and hurried over, closely followed by Ji Qianming

As Ji Qianming just entered the rented room, he heard Li Tao speaking mysteriously with another roommate, his eyes wide open as if he had just heard some earth-shattering secret

Li Tao, upon seeing Ji Qianming return, inquired.

"I haven't packed my things yet, so I need to stay for a while longer," Ji Qianming replied ambiguously

Crack!

Ji Qianming's mouth twitched uncontrollably, my good brother, I have wronged you!

He pondered for a few seconds, then fetched a basin of water. After activating his ability, a faint reflection of a captivating beauty emerged on the water's surface, which was none other than a famous actress from the island known for her action films, her pose alluring and the waves tumultuous

Qianming, my train is at 2 PM this afternoon. Li Pang is also going back this afternoon. When are you returning home

This rental apartment was specifically rented by Ji Qianming and Li Tao to prepare for the college entrance examination, and they have a roommate named Wang Wenrui.

However, it is best if someone goes in front of the mirror. He looked eagerly at his two busy roommates, who seemed to have no intention of checking themselves in the mirror, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated

Li Tao originally had a train scheduled for 5 PM, but he forcefully changed it to 2 PM, insisting on leaving with Wang Wenrui. Before departing, he solemnly shook Ji Qianming's hand and seriously said, "Qianming, you must be careful here. This house is eerie"

Only a barely perceptible blue light flashed at the edge of the shattered lens, and a small fragment emitted a sharp aura, giving the impression of an unparalleled treasure sword capable of severing hair with a breath, so sharp that merely looking at it would cause a sting

The two followed his指指 and saw the mirror clearly reflecting the three people's shadows, along with the birds chirping and flowers blooming outside the window, yet not a single shadow of a virgin could be seen.

Ah ah ah ah! Zombie

Ah ah ah ah

Perhaps I can find an opportunity to try it out myself first he thought to himself

Wang Wenrui kicked Li Tao and cursed, "You fat Li, why are you howling like that? Calling yourself Sadako, why don't you shout 'zombie' instead?"

He brought over a stone the size of a watermelon, placed it on the ground, tightly gripped the lens in his hand, and took a deep breath

At this moment, Li Tao is smugly combing his hair in front of the bathroom mirror, humming a tune while swaying his body to the rhythm, creating a rather eye-watering scene

If it had been before, Ji Qianming would have just laughed it off as a joke. However, after he obtained the Mirror Flower and learned about the existence of the mysterious Leaf Pattern, he understood that there truly are superpowered individuals in this world. So, could the explosion at the Hyatt Building that Li Tao just mentioned really be related to this Leaf Pattern?

He concentrated his mind, continuing to slowly control the mirror's movement from side to side, then up and down, and soon the mirror began to struggle to flip over, attempting to turn in mid-air

Perhaps heaven has heard his earnest prayers, and the long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived

Whose heart is it, left in solitude... Li Tao was in front of the mirror, torn between whether to part his hair in the middle or in a 3:7 ratio, or perhaps just slick it back completely

Just as the two individuals stepped out of the restroom, a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig resounded once more

He has never mentioned to anyone that he is an orphan, having grown up in an orphanage. This rented room is his only place of residence, and if he were to be forced to move out, he would likely have to sleep on the streets, after all, he cannot shamelessly return to live in the orphanage again

And he has only himself

"I went to an internet café last night and played all night." Ji Qianming naturally could not tell the truth

At the moment of turning over, the mirror suddenly shook violently, and then it fell to the ground unsteadily, shattering into countless small fragments

Moreover, the realism of the presented illusions decreases as the reflective capability diminishes. He can perfectly embody Sadako and zombies through the mirror, but can only barely outline their contours on the television screen

However, no matter how hard he tried, the surface of the water did not rise like a mirror; at most, it only stirred up a few ripples.

Within the pop-up window of soul energy visualization, the progress bar has also changed to 5 / 1000

Ji Qianming's eyes lit up; indeed, altering the laws of physics also includes changing gravity. He used his ability to reverse the gravity of the mirror, causing it to float in the air

Even the rent for this house is half subsidized by the government, while the other half is earned through his own labor. Sometimes he truly envies Li Tao and Wang Wenrui, as no matter what happens, they always have a home waiting for them

Li Tao's soul energy collection + 7

So this is how soul energy is collected, Ji Qianming thought thoughtfully, as if he had grasped the key to it

Li Tao's soul energy collection + 5

Alright, this ability to perform magic should be quite impressive, but there is a lack of combat skills. Ji Qianming felt somewhat dejected

Wang Wenrui pushed up his glasses and asked

Li Tao got up and scrutinized himself in the mirror, murmuring to himself: "Damn it, could it be that I've been staying up too late recently?"

A sharp sound sliced through the air, leaving a deep scratch on the stone, penetrating a full five centimeters into it. The edges of the cut were remarkably smooth, not at all resembling the result of a mirror being struck.

In the afternoon, Ji Qianming saw off Li Tao and Wang Wenrui, leaving him alone in the entire room, which provided him with an opportunity to experiment. In fact, within just one morning, he had already developed many ideas in his mind

He thought of the ability he had just acquired, "Replication" was currently unusable, but "Non-Flower" ... ...

Since the water surface also possesses reflective capabilities, can I control the water? This thought flashed through his mind as his eyes fixated intently on the water's surface, his expression contorted from the strain of concentration

There is ... ... there is Sadako

In the mirror, Li Tao transformed into a pale-faced zombie with deep-set eyes, dressed in Qing Dynasty official attire, who bounced out of the mirror.

Possessing reflective properties, possessing reflective properties

Wait! His eyes lit up, and then he casually picked up a shard and turned to run outside the house

Ji Qianming stifled a laugh, and at that moment, he noticed a line of small black characters jumping out on the mirror in his mind
