When the world was born, everything was numbers. When the sky rose and the earth sank, there also born a sacred artifact, a mirror that reflect the world. The mirror’s true length was infinite, true height, unlimited. However, in the mortal’s eyes, it’s only a 9 feet wide, 9 feet high mirror. Inside the mirrors were everything in the world, all taken the form of numbers, separated into 9 same size region. Nobody is equal in every row, column or region. In every 田 shape place, whenever two orthogonally connected numbers had the same difference as the other two, a sub-mirror is born beside them.
As the example shown, 24 has the same difference as 68, so a mirror in between.
Years gone. Centuries passed by. The mirror was fogged by the dust of time. The sub-mirror was still distinctive, yet most numbers are covered by dust. Mortal, can you see through the dust?
If you are a learned Chinese, I highly recommend the origin wechat site (I really don’t think google translation would work),thsi is the last story, good luck.
comment 2022: after all this, i guess it's fate that lmd would never had a chance to see all the stories. for certain someone had repost the other easy-to-understand story in the non-story mode rule. saves me some work, that's two very long story. also the finale, i guess it'll never make sense without all those previous stories, which i really want to translate. it'll be a fun challenge.
as for now, season 2 still not here. Old Miles and I become the only two variant setters that still ticks. as for the guy repost borescoper's puzzle without story, his reputation falls even deeper. afterall, i didn't befriend Old Miles when i post puzzles. i hope next time i check my puzzles, situstion may change for the better.
Solution code: row 5 column 5

I don't care what others think.
I liked this puzzle.
It's a pity though I will never understand the rules of the previous two puzzles.

the only one in the series where the story didn't obstruct a clear view of what is expected.
Bigger: It's the sixth story. Nobody can hide rules in different ways for that long. Also there's an example, and a shorter rule.
