Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 7 Equivalent Exchange
"Ok?"

Outside the mirror, Chen Qing put down his hands.

Not long ago, he knocked on the mirror, intending to see if he could take this opportunity to chat with the previous person and get some information.

But when the mirror fluctuated like water, he felt that the contents of the mirror seemed a little different from yesterday.

If the world in the mirror gave him a dark and gloomy feeling before, then this time Chen Qing only felt bright, as bright as ice and snow.

And the distorted black shadow in the mirror was obviously different.

Today's shadow is a little shorter and lighter than yesterday.If yesterday's shadow is like ink, then today's shadow... can be regarded as a stain brought by mud and water.

"So, it's not the same person who appears this time?"

Staring at the world in the mirror, Chen Qing had a suspicion in his mind.

Could it be that this mirror communicates more than just one world?Or maybe the places it connects to are different?
This is an interesting guess.

Chen Qing felt that this might mean that the mirror was more complicated than he imagined.Maybe its existence is conceptual, or maybe there are multiple mirrors in the mirror world.

I don’t know if something similar exists in my real world.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qing did not immediately say "hello" to the person in the mirror like yesterday.

He has decided to play the role of a very high-status being, so naturally he cannot be so friendly from the beginning.

Therefore, he tapped the mirror lightly, and then said slowly: "The long-lost light."

Thinking of himself as a noble and obscure being, Chen Qing's tone also became mysterious: "So, visitor, is it you who knocked on the door of 'truth'?"

After saying this.

Chen Qing remained silent.

He was waiting for the person on the other side of the mirror to speak first.

The guy in the mirror today seems less cautious than the guy yesterday.

At least Chen Qing did not hear confusing questions like "How much is 1+1" from the other party again.

In a burst of hoarse words that were almost disconnected, Chen Qing heard some out-of-tune characters.

"I... didn't mean to... I'm very sorry..."

"In order to save...hope...to help..."

Although Chen Qing was not able to hear clearly what the guy was saying because the signal was not very good, fortunately, the direction of the words transmitted this time was quite clear.So it didn't take long for Chen Qing to roughly figure out what the guy in the mirror wanted.

According to the guy, he had a relative, possibly a friend, who was suffering from a serious illness.This kind of disease cannot be solved by ordinary people at all, and must rely on some kind of strange power called "forbidden matter".

"Taboo?"

After hearing the eloquent words on the other side of the screen, Chen Qing immediately thought of the ancient mirror in front of him and the gold coins in his arms.

If taboo objects are items with special powers, then these two things seem to meet the definition?

And judging from the other party's attitude, the forbidden object is probably a very cherished and valuable resource.Otherwise, the other party would not be able to pin the hope of curing his brother on this kind of thing.

So I have two babies on hand now?One is a gold coin and the other is an ancient mirror?
"But where did these taboo items come from? What are their effects? What are the dangers of using them?"

After getting some information, more questions emerged in Chen Qing's mind.

But he was patient and did not ask these questions.

He always remembered that the person opposite him could tell him so much because that guy still couldn't figure out Chen Qing's details.So he had to maintain a mysterious attitude to prevent the guy opposite from realizing that Chen Qing was actually a novice who knew nothing.

So here you need to... leave it blank.

"The best way is to let the other party tell me."

Tapping her fingers lightly on the mirror, Chen Qing suddenly thought of an idea.
-
In the mirror world.

Colin knelt in front of the ancient mirror with trembling hands.

At this moment, his expression was shocked, as if he had discovered some unspeakable secret.

No wonder he acted so surprised.

It was really because everything that happened before him had far exceeded his imagination.

A... forbidden object that can communicate? !

Looking at the mirror, Colin only felt shocked.

He had never heard of a forbidden object that could communicate in the past!
Even if the words spoken by this taboo object are vague, the fact that it can speak has far surpassed Colin's three views!
"I heard people say that even B-level forbidden objects don't have consciousness. No, do forbidden objects really have consciousness?!"

Compared to the Director of Forbidden Objects "Li Changsheng", Colin, who is just an ordinary villager, knows very little about forbidden objects.

So when he heard the distorted voice in the ancient mirror, he was so frightened that he knelt down.

This is like using a hammer to smash your own three views!
Because of his excessive panic, Colin immediately forgot to respond to the being in the mirror.

Fortunately, the great being inside the mirror doesn't care about this.

In the intermittent echo, Colin heard the distorted voice in the mirror.

"Then...knock on the door of truth..."

Hearing these words, Colin's consciousness suddenly came to his senses.

He thought of his sick brother at home, and looked at the mysterious and evil ancient mirror in front of him.

Gritting his teeth, Colin slowly stood up.

"The great, ancient 'truth'."

Based on the words spoken by the other party, Colin picked up words that he might like and said: "Please forgive me for the offense of this humble existence. But I hope that in exchange for you, I can cure my brother."

"My brother, he is suffering from a strange disease, and even the best doctors in this town are helpless. For this I pray to you devoutly - the great 'truth', can I ask it from your hands?" A cure for my brother, for which I will pay any price!”

At the end of the sentence, Colin knelt down towards the opponent again.

From this young man's simple point of view, this is probably the only way he can show his sincerity.

And after he finished speaking.

The voice in the mirror floated: "Equivalent exchange..."

"Knowledge, only knowledge can be exchanged."

In Colin's eyes, the mirror became darker and darker, and the twisted figure in the mirror became darker and darker: "The truth...is...opened for you. The secret...in your hand...becomes the key."

In that distorted sound.

The realm of pollution fluctuates quietly.
