Chapter 13: The Ghost in the Mirror

After returning to the dormitory, Liu Nan and Qin Xinrou didn't know where to play again, and the room was empty.

Putting things down, he threw himself on the bed and closed his eyes.

Slowly, I immersed myself in this comfort.

I don't know how long it took, but I seemed to be asleep, but my consciousness was still in reality, and it felt amazing.

I slowly let myself get used to the feeling, blended into the feeling, and it sucked me in as if by magic.

Next, a very strange scene appeared in my mind.

Someone! A lot of people, wearing masks, looked at me like that, each holding the mysterious man's knife in their hands, looking at me like a prey.

I wanted to run, but my body felt like I was imprisoned and couldn't move.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, I felt so cold, and the images that appeared in my mind kept disappearing until they were gone.

After a cold war, I opened my eyes and looked up at the time, it was already six o'clock, and Liu Nan and Qin Xinrou estimated that it was time to come back.

Was that a dream? I asked myself, obviously, too real.

I don't know if it's inertia or what, I habitually open my drawer.

In the drawer, the mirror that Fang Jun handed me was still quietly placed there, and the note was thrown away while they were not paying attention.

At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it at night, but now that I look closely, this mirror is really unique.

Every line, outline, is like a sigil, not like a mirror for dressing.

Now that I think about it, what does Fang Jun want a mirror for? Even if it was for me, it seemed out of place.

What's more, this mirror has an obvious ancient style, more like a family heirloom, and it is full of years.

I looked at the mirror carefully, looking at myself in the mirror, as always, but it seemed that something was missing, and it was strange that I couldn't say it.

"Squeak-" There was the sound of the key opening the door outside the door, presumably they had returned.

As soon as I entered the door, Qin Xinrou first noticed the mirror in my hand and walked over

"Hey, this mirror is so special, you bought it there?"

Taking the mirror, Qin Xinrou held it in her hand curiously and looked at it with a look of study.

Liu Nan didn't seem very interested, and continued to pick up his "The Count of Monte Cristo" and lie on the bed to watch it.

"No, someone else sent it." I replied.

"Do you think there's something wrong with this mirror? I can't describe the feeling......" Qin Xinrou pouted.

Yes, I feel that way, but I can't say it, it looks like a normal mirror, but I just can't put it into words.

I didn't answer, just smiled.

She didn't care, she asked me

"Can you lend me this mirror to study?"

"Yes, of course, you can do whatever you want." I don't care. After all, no matter how extraordinary it is, it is only a mirror and does not represent anything.

Seeing me nodding, Qin Xinrou happily held the mirror and went to bed.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but it wasn't until later that I realized how strange the mirror was.

In the next few hours, Qin Xinrou didn't do anything and kept staring at the mirror.

During this period, Liu Nan and I talked to her, and she just dealt with it simply, without even turning her head, and we were too involved in her.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and the lights were turned off and I was ready to go to bed.

"Qin Xinrou, don't look at it, it's time to sleep, the lights are off, what else are you looking at."

Hearing Liu Nan's urging, Qin Xinrou slowly got up, her movements were very slow, and she changed her lively style.

With the lights off, we only saw her slowly crawling into bed in the dark, as if she was still holding the mirror in her hand.

(None of us, I'm afraid, knew that in the dark, her eyes were kept open, staring blankly at the ceiling.) )

Seeing her lie down, I went to sleep with peace of mind, and soon, the whole dormitory fell into a deep sleep.

In my sleep, I could vaguely hear everyone's delicate voices, and my breathing became clear and deaf.

"Knock"

There seemed to be a sound, but I didn't pay much attention to it, rolled over and went back to sleep.

After a while, the voice came again, this time, more clearly!

Sleepy-eyed, I opened my sparse eyes, and there seemed to be something in front of me.

When I looked intently, I only saw one figure, Qin Xinrou! Yes!

In the dark, she just sat quietly on the bed, motionless, as if she had lost her soul.

I came to my senses all of a sudden, but I didn't bother her, just tried to stay still and observe.

Suddenly, something seemed to move me under my feet, and I was instantly agitated.

Look, it's Liu Nan!

Obviously, she was also awakened by the previous voice and the strange Qin Xinrou.

Because of the relative sleep, she gently kicked my foot, and you can see that she gestured and pointed at Qin Xinrou.

We tried to keep our movements as small as possible, and just like that, the two of us watched her together. With her back to us, she didn't seem to know.

She's moving!

I don't know whether to say suddenly or what.

Qin Xinrou picked up something from the side of the pillow, and in the dark, her figure was familiar and unfamiliar.

It's not like she would do it!

Slowly, she climbed out of bed

Suddenly my head was raised, as if to look at me, and I quickly closed my eyes,

Listening to the voice, she seemed to stand up, and the footsteps seemed to be approaching me.

The tighter I closed my eyes, the more I didn't dare to show the slightest flaw.

"Whew-"

Gradually, her breathing became so clear that I could even feel her face coming up.

I felt very depressed, I don't know how long it took, and the voice I just had just now lost in my ears.

I opened my eyes tentatively, and Liu Nan also kicked me again, and then I opened my eyes with confidence.

However, Qin Xinrou has disappeared!

I hurriedly made a gesture, and Liu Nan sat up.

"Where did she go?"

"Don't worry, she didn't leave, she went to the balcony."

Seeing me ask her, Liu Nan said in a low voice

After a short exchange, we each quietly climbed down from the bed, not daring to make a little noise to alarm Qin Xinrou.

She's so weird tonight!

The two men crept through the darkness, and the chairs on the floor were now an obstacle for us.

Simply, the balcony was within reach, and Liu Nan and I slowly hid behind the balcony, secretly observing Qin Xinrou.

On the balcony, a shadow stood there, her hands seemed to hold something to her chest.

Bad premonition comes again!

Qin Xinrou suddenly put down that thing, and I saw that it was the mirror!

Could it be that it was the mirror that made Qin Xinrou abnormal?

Without waiting for me to react, Liu Nan suddenly shouted;

"Qin Xinrou!"

I hurriedly looked, Qin Xinrou, who was still on the balcony just now, was turning over the balcony and preparing to jump down!

Tremble in the balance!
