Chapter 66: The Man in the Mirror
"Comb your hair?"
Li Yang couldn't help frowning.
Why is this the kind of thing recorded in the diary? Comb your hair, but you have to comb it 999 times?
Keep scrolling down.
"May 2nd."
"The day after combing my hair, I still didn't feel anything, but my scalp hurt a little."
"Well, it hurts, it hurts, it's okay!"
"Done, 999 times!"
Diary?
Li Yang had never seen such a diary, not so much that this was a diary, but rather that it was a record of combing his hair.
999 times a day? It seems that this Huang Jiajia must cherish her hair very much.
The situation is similar on the previous pages.
The basic records are all Huang Jiajia's combing diary, nothing special.
The real time for change should be about a week later.
"May 8th! Weather: Sunny. ”
"Hiss~!"
"It hurts, I feel like an iron brush has scraped over my scalp every time the comb falls!"
"It really hurts······"
"But I want to see you, I must insist, there are still 22 days!"
"The number of times I combed my hair today, 999 times! Finish! ”
"May 9th! Weather: Cloudy. ”
"I feel like I'm going crazy!"
"Every time the comb drops, I feel like countless steel needles are running across my scalp at the same time."
"I don't know if it's because of the weather, I feel like the person in the mirror is no longer me."
"I'm starting to get a little scared!"
"999 times, complete ·····"
"May 15th, weather: heavy rain."
"It's been half a month, and there are fifteen days left."
"I feel that my scalp has begun to pus, and I can clearly see the pus and blood on the comb."
"Still, it doesn't matter."
"I can still tolerate this level of pain, well, I can."
"Today's task, comb your hair 999 times, complete."
"May 16th, weather: cloudy."
"The sixteenth day of combing your hair!"
"Oh my God, I'm crazy, and when the comb scrapes my scalp, my head feels numb."
"Hey, it hurts!"
"But it doesn't matter, I can do it, I can definitely do it."
"The person in the mirror should not be me anymore, the shadow is a little blurry, I don't know if it's him."
"Hold on, Jiajia, you can do it!"
"Today's task, comb your hair 999 times!"
Turn here.
Li Yang finally couldn't help but shudder.
Oh my God, what the hell is she doing?
Li Yang remembered that Jiang Huan had said before that Huang Jiajia often combed her hair in the mirror.
At first, he thought it was the nature of all girls to love beauty.
But now it looks like it's combing your hair, huh? What is the difference between this and the Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty?
Li Yang once saw on the Internet a form of torture called "grooming".
The "grooming" here does not refer to a woman's grooming or anything, but is a very cruel punishment.
It refers to the jailer using an iron comb to comb the flesh and skin off the body layer by layer, until the prisoner's bones are exposed, the internal organs are lost, and finally the prisoner dies.
It is said that the person who invented this "grooming" punishment was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be ruthless in his life, and during his reign, he studied and pondered a lot of torture.
And this "grooming" is one of them.
According to Shen Wen's "Records of the First Politics of the Holy Monarch", when the punishment of grooming was carried out, the executioners and jailers would strip the prisoners of their clothes naked and put them naked on an iron bed.
The jailer first poured boiling water on the prisoner several times, scalding the prisoner's skin and flesh so that the punishment would follow.
Then, a special "iron comb" is used to brush off the flesh and skin of the body.
The iron combs here are not as delicate as combing hair, they are all steel nails and iron brushes made of pure iron!
Prisoners who receive the punishment of "grooming" will not die quickly, after all, there is a limit to the amount of flesh that can be brushed off each time.
Only after a long period of torture did the flesh and skin of the prisoner's body be brushed clean, and the bones were white, and he was freed.
When Li Yang first learned about this punishment, he was simply disgusted.
The ancient feudal imperial system really annihilated humanity and lost conscience.
Don't look at the current novels and TV series, those male protagonists and women took the initiative to travel to ancient times.
If only it had traveled back in time.
I can't live the opening song, and I don't know how I died.
It's just that what makes Li Yang can't figure it out is.
Why did Huang Jiajia do this?
What did she want to do with her constant combing of her hair in the mirror?
Also, she mentioned in her diary that the shadow in the mirror is no longer herself?
The mirror is a commonly used prop in many horror scenes.
In this book, someone once did a psychic experiment called "Sigeta", and it caused a lot of repercussions.
The requirement for this experiment is actually very simple: participants have to stand in front of a mirror every day for 30 days and ask themselves "Who are you?" ten times. ”
This requirement seems very simple.
At first, the participants will be very relaxed, and even they will find it funny inside.
Especially in the first three days, the participants were quite normal, and some people even felt a little bored.
But by the fifth day, most of the participants began to feel bored and tired.
Half a month later.
All the participants' dark circles began to grow heavier, and their faces began to become very bad and unkempt.
Everyone looked very depressed.
Almost 20 days later.
The vast majority of people give up because they don't make it this time.
By the eighteenth day, they were already experiencing severe anxiety and hallucinations.
They feel that the person in the mirror is no longer themselves, but another person!
Or rather, the one in the mirror is not a person at all!
The participants were terrified and almost all withdrew from the program.
Of the hundreds of participants, only one persevered.
However, this man is in a very bad state.
He was immersed in his own world, unable to hear anyone talking to him or noticing anyone greeting him.
Finally, on the 30th day.
That is, the last day of the experiment.
The participant finally stood in front of the mirror and shouted "Who are you?" ten times more. ”
When he shouted one last time, he suddenly disappeared...
As for the mirror, there was another strange ghost left.
"Combs? Mirror? Comb your hair 999 times a day? ”
"What exactly does she want to do?"
Li Yang lay on the rocking chair, holding Huang Jiajia's diary, and frowned.
"Psychic experiments?"
"Is it ·····?"
With a sigh, Li Yang immediately reacted.
Hurriedly continued to flip down.
