Passing through Dog-Evil Ridge, a tall stone platform appeared ahead.
Suspended on the platform was a massive bronze mirror, its surface mottled and covered in patina. This was the famous Mirror of Sin (Nie Jing Tai).
At this moment, a ghost who had been a corrupt official in life stood before the mirror. The mirror blurrily displayed him counting money, looking like surveillance footage from the 1980s—full of static snow, couldn't even see the color of the money clearly.
The Judge squinted at it for a long time: "This... how much money is this? Five hundred taels or five thousand? I can't see clearly..."
Slayer walked over, shouldering his shotgun.
Behind him, the one-eyed Corpse Dog (now named Wangcai) barked at the mirror.
Slayer looked up at the bronze mirror.
He frowned.
[Image Quality: 144p (Severe Distortion).]
[Frame Rate: 15 FPS (Laggy).]
[Latency: 3000ms.]
"Hmph." Slayer let out a dissatisfied nasal sound.
With this potato quality, let alone seeing sins clearly, you couldn't even see enemy weak points. If this were a game, he would have refunded it long ago.
Daoist Singularity saw the Big Boss was unhappy and immediately leaned in: "Big Hero, this mirror hasn't been maintained for years, the cathode ray tube (spiritual power circuit) aged long ago. I want to fix it too, but I lack high-precision optical components..."
Slayer didn't speak.
He dug something out of that pile of loot (Singularity's gunny sack).
It was a complete Eyeball Crystal dropped by the "Beholder" (Thousand-Eyed Tyrant) he blasted back in Chapter 11.
This demon's eye was reputed to see through all illusions and had extremely high resolution.
Slayer tossed the eyeball to Singularity, then pointed at the Mirror of Sin.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
The meaning was simple: Swap the screen.
Singularity caught the eyeball, his eyes lighting up: "Good stuff! This is a top-tier bio-optical lens! Comes with True Sight effect and auto-focus!"
"Wait a moment! Upgrading immediately!"
Singularity leaped onto the Mirror of Sin platform.
He removed the rusty bronze mirror and embedded the giant demon eyeball into the center of the frame.
Then, he took out his multi-functional stylus and began drawing complex array circuits around the eyeball.
"Graphics Acceleration Talisman... Anti-Aliasing Mantra... HDR Dynamic Range Enhancement Array... Overclock!"
Hum—!
The eyeball instantly melted, covering the entire mirror surface.
The originally dim bronze mirror suddenly erupted with blinding light.
[System Upgrade Complete.]
[Resolution: 3840 x 2160 (4K).]
[Refresh Rate: 240Hz.]
[Color Depth: 10 bit.]
"Come, come, come, corrupt official, stand there again!" Singularity called out.
The corrupt official stood tremblingly before the mirror again.
Whoosh!
The screen lit up.
The whole venue gasped.
Too clear!
Not only could they see him counting money, they could even see the watermarks on every banknote! They could see every bead of greedy sweat on his face! They could even analyze what he was thinking at that moment through micro-expression analysis!
Data analysis even automatically generated on the left side of the screen:
[Total Embezzlement: 5,432,100 Taels of Silver.]
[Main Sources: Dike repair kickbacks, selling official posts.]
The Judge was so excited his beard shook: "This... this is simply a 'God Eye'! Who dares to deny their crimes now?!"
Slayer looked at the incredibly smooth, vividly colored picture and finally nodded.
Now it looked right.
But he seemed slightly unsatisfied.
He walked to the control console, extended a finger, and swiped at the edge of the screen.
Beep.
He enabled [Thermal Imaging Mode] and [Weakness Marking Mode].
The corrupt official in the picture instantly turned into a red-and-blue thermal map. The position of his heart (where his conscience should be) showed as an icy blue void.
[Detection Result: Heartless Person.]
Slayer was satisfied.
This wasn't just a mirror for judgment anymore. This was now a Tactical Reconnaissance Display.
Singularity frantically took notes on the side:
"Turning demon organs into monitors... this idea is brilliant. In the future, this Mirror of Sin can not only judge ghosts but also serve as the Underworld's Sky Eye Surveillance Center!"
"Blurry vs Precision."
Under Slayer's violent modification, the Underworld's judicial evidence collection capabilities entered the HD era.
Slayer patted Wangcai's head. Wangcai barked at the corrupt official in the HD screen, as if saying: "See where you run now!"
"Next chapter, Golden Chicken Mountain (Jin Ji Shan). Heard the chickens there... are fierce?" Slayer rubbed his belly. Although Meng Po Soup quenched thirst, he seemed a bit hungry.
Singularity looked at the Big Boss's eyes and suddenly had an ominous premonition:
"It's over... those divine chickens on Golden Chicken Mountain are probably going to turn into KFC."
