Chapter 1 The Mystery of the Ancient Mirror
Dark, cold, low-cost rental house with dim lighting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The only thing in the rental room is a bed, a table, a straight stool, and a dilapidated old wardrobe.
The dim light reflected through the window lattice and walls, and a lonely figure was drawn up in the room.
The figure stood motionless in front of the old wardrobe, looking lonely and depressed.
Looking up, there was a picture frame in the center of the counter of the old wardrobe, and in the frame was a black and white photograph of an old man with a kind face.
In front of the photo frame, there are three pillars of incense inserted in the copper-colored small incense burner, and the smoke of the incense is curling, making the face of the deceased old man who is mourned faintly appear a little illusory.
Through the dim light, the young man standing in the shadows was emaciated, pale, haggard, and his eyes were gloomy, staring at the kind face of his grandfather, who had only been dead for a year, in the frame, and was silent for a long time.
Wu Tong always thinks that he is a loser in life, and his life is full of tragedy.
He had a lot of ups and downs in his life, when he was a child, his family was in the middle of the road, his parents were killed, and he was raised by his grandfather.
His grandfather was an astrophysicist with a good income, and although he did not spend much time with his grandson due to the nature of his work, his financial supply was never interrupted, which could ensure that Wu Tong continued to study.
Having lost his parents since he was a child, Wu Tong became precocious, very independent, and did not want to be bullied when he was in middle school, so he often got into fights and bruises all over his body, so he was forced to transfer schools.
When he was nineteen years old, his grandfather died due to an experimental explosion accident, and Wu Tong was able to save his grandfather's life after he exhausted all the family's assets.
But my grandfather's recuperation expenses are like a mountain, although the government subsidies are also a lot, but obviously not enough, in order to take care of my grandfather, Wu Tong University can only rely on work-study and part-time jobs everywhere to get by.
In the end, after graduating from Wu Tong University, in the second year of working hard with multiple hats, my grandfather still went.
Wu Tong believes that it was because his grandfather was unwilling to continue to live and drag him down that he gave up treatment, and used his life to pave a path for him that was not affected by burden, so that he would no longer live so bitter and tired, and he was forced to bend over by life, ruining his good youth, and he was deeply guilty of self-blame and guilt.
During that time, he always believed that his grandfather would give up his life because he was not strong enough, rich enough, and did not fulfill his responsibilities and filial piety.
The only relative has passed away, in order to live up to the old man's painstaking work, Wu Tong walked out of the haze, cheered up and started a business.
At the age of twenty-three, because his personality was too upright and strong, the so-called would rather bend than bend, offended the villain without knowing it, and his career sank to the bottom, and his career collapsed after less than two years of entrepreneurship, and he was inexplicably infected with an incurable disease.
Although all the assets accumulated in recent years have been dispersed again and there is no debt, the reality is still very cruel, Wu Tong's classmates and friends are still alienated from him, who wants to continue to be friends with a loser, no one wants to help him anymore.
After suffering all the hardships and seeing the state of the world, Wu Tong fell into the lowest point of his life again.
In the past few days, Wu Tong has locked himself in this small black house of less than 20 square meters, which he has temporarily rented and moved into, as if he has fallen into an abyss of endless loneliness and loneliness.
He will deeply reflect on his life experience, and will also remember the spiritual pillar that has quietly passed, although it has not collapsed, but it has faintly broken traces.
Knock knock!
may feel that there is something unusual about the new tenant who has been closed for three days, which has aroused the suspicion of the landlady, and a heavy knock on the door finally brought Wu Tong, who has been in the shadows for days, back to reality.
Wu Tong came back to his senses and felt that the landlord seemed to be about to break the door by force, so he hurried over and opened the door.
The moment he opened the door, when the light outside was refracted and reflected on his face, Wu Tong's eyes were very uncomfortable, and he covered it with his hand for a while until he got used to it, then he put down his pale and thin hand, looked at the landlady with a serious expression at the door, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mrs. landlady, is there something wrong?" ”
The landlady Li Lan is over forty years old, with fair skin, ordinary appearance, slightly rich figure, and a quiet and cute pet dog in her arms.
"Ahh
Unexpectedly, the moment the landlady saw Wu Tong, her pupils dilated, she screamed in horror, threw down the pet dog in her arms and ran away.
"Wow!"
After the pet dog lost its owner, it did not chase after its owner, it put on a defensive posture and kept barking at Wu Tong.
Wu Tong only felt depressed, could it be that his life had been ruined to the point that he didn't even want a pet dog to see him.
"Wang!"
However, the moment he wanted to close the door, the pet dog roared angrily, quickly pounced on Wu Tong's hand, bit it hard, and ran away.
Although his hands were bleeding, Wu Tong didn't feel any pain, and he was even a little numb and didn't think about getting a rabies vaccine, he just closed the door quietly.
Wu Tong walked to the head of the bed and took out a relict made of unknown metal material, which was also the only relic left to him when his parents died, it was an ancient and mysterious double-sided mirror, he wanted to see if he really became the landlady said that people are not people, ghosts and ghosts.
After squinting his eyes, he saw that the person in the mirror was short, with an ordinary appearance, and a black mole on the corner of his mouth and chin.
Especially now, the face in the ancient mirror suddenly changed greatly, becoming pale and withered, the eye circles were blue, languid and haggard, and there were a few mysterious black lines on the forehead, and the whole body was as thin as a skeleton, and it really looked like a person who was not a person, a ghost or a ghost.
"Holy, is this me, isn't it my ......"
After seeing that it was not his original self at all in the mirror, but was replaced by someone else's terrifying appearance like a devil, Wu Tong, who was already in a state of mind, was frightened by himself.
However, suddenly something even stranger happened in the silent dark room.
I only heard a voice that seemed to come from the ancient Nine Shadows suddenly sounded in my ears: "That's you!" ”
Such a sudden sound in his ears out of thin air made Wu Tong feel terrified, and when he looked around, there was not even a ghost in the house except himself.
"Who is it, don't make trouble, come out for me!"
"You can't see me!"
“……”
Wu Tong felt that this should be someone playing a prank on him.
But think about the fact that his life has failed like this, his relatives are lost, his friends are separated, it is not much better than death, who would be so boring to fix himself?
Thinking about my current situation, even if I encounter ghosts, what could be worse than this?
Thinking about it like this, Wu Tong calmed down.
He carefully analyzed the source of the voice, and then tried to say, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”
The magic voice sounded again: "Whether it is a human or a ghost, you can tell from your heart!" ”
Wu Tong finally figured out where the sound came from this time, and found that it was from the ancient and mysterious double-sided mirror he was holding.
So, Wu Tong picked up the ancient mirror and looked at it in front of him, and sure enough, the ancient mirror was still the appearance of a person who was not a person, a ghost or a ghost, but Wu Tong knew very well in his heart that this was not his original appearance at all, although he looked average and was still a mixed-race child, but it was not so ugly.
Since the supernatural happened, Wu Tong was also fearless, so he said to the ancient mirror: "Who are you?" ”
Unexpectedly, the self in the ancient mirror actually spoke: "I am you!" ”
Wu Tong didn't know if Gu Jingli's answer was a counterword, and said: "Then you tell me, am I poor and short now?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "You are rich and handsome!" ”
People often say that they are all anti in the mirror, Wu Tong thought: "Damn, what you say in the mirror is not the opposite, but it's stinky enough!" ”
But then the doubts arose, Wu Tong said: "Why do you say that I am rich and handsome, with my current situation, isn't this a dream?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "What is the difference between dreams and reality, as long as you want to, you can realize it?" ”
Wu Tong pressed the wound that was bitten by the dog before, and he couldn't help but feel pain, it felt very painful, and the blood flowed out again.
But the strange thing is that the blood did not drip to the ground, but was absorbed by the mirror.
Wu Tong was shocked: "What's going on, are you sucking my blood?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "It is the spiritual will energy contained in your blood that activates the residual power contained in the mirror!" ”
Wu Tong shook his head: "This is not scientific, now is a modern scientific and technological society, how can there be such gods and monsters!" ”
Gu Jing replied: "The power in the universe is infinitely mysterious, when you master him, you can evolve everything at will, you think it is a product of science and technology, that is, you think it is a mythical product, that is!" ”
Wu Tong was silent, he carefully savored the voice from the mirror again, it felt as cold as a machine, like an intelligent program, and like a mythical demon.
So Wu Tong said to Gu Jing again: "What kind of product are you, virtual artificial intelligence, or alien technology creation?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "No, this is the power of creation from your subconscious, virtual is reality, creation is real!" ”
Wu Tong pondered and said: "Is the play like life, and life like the play?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "Master the power, your life is a game, and a game is life, fantasy is reality, dreams are real, and you can convert it at any time!" ”
Wu Tong figured it out and said, "How can we master this power?" ”
Gu Jing replied: "Sacrifice spiritual power and sign a contract of coexistence!" ”
Wu Tong was silent for a moment, thinking about his current situation, and he didn't seem to have much choice.
In order to master the power, in order to be strong, in order to fulfill the last wishes left by his relatives, even if he gives everything, even if he sells his soul to the devil, he will not hesitate to do anything, he has the courage to break the boat.
Thinking of this, Wu Tong did not hesitate at all, and nodded in agreement.
According to the instructions of the ancient mirror, with blood as a sacrifice, soul binding as a medium, and the soul as a window, he signed a coexistence contract with this ancient and mysterious mirror with a kind of demonic power.
When the contract was completed, I saw that the ancient mirror suddenly bloomed with a blazing light, and the dark rental room was reflected as if it was day, and then gradually became a white particle that seemed to be illusory, surrounding Wu Tong.
Immediately, the extreme light disappeared in an instant, and the rental house fell into darkness again.
