"This mirror is very normal, you don't have to be alarmist here, and with Yinglin's ability, there is really a problem with the mirror, and she can solve it." Ji Ran said disdainfully

"I'm very serious, no alarmism, you don't believe me, I can't help it, this room is full of weirdness, it's not good to stay for a long time, I just came in for a while, and I obviously felt that my three souls and seven spirits were a little unstable."

"I'm unstable, and I still have the heart to talk nonsense here, it's better to go with me to greet the guests, I think it's better for you to socialize." Zhou Xuran pushed and pulled Xing Zhao and left.

The meal was full, the people were scattered, and Yang Yinglin felt that she had regained her tranquility at this moment. She decided to go downstairs to stretch her muscles and bones, and turn around the Zhou's manor, the sunset and dusk scenery are extremely beautiful, she doesn't like to be lively, and because she wants to keep a low profile, she can only silently watch the bonfire feast from a distance.

The slow-paced carefree life is sometimes good, she walked back to her room with a relaxed walk, and saw Zhou Xuran standing at the door.

"Are you here for me? You won't be waiting for me for long. ”

"It didn't take long, I thought you would not come out inside, and I thought that I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no response, and I was thinking about whether to go out to find you, but it happened that you came back."

Yang Yinglin opened the door and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with you coming to me so late?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that Xing Zhao's guy has been nagging all the way and always saying that he sensed something wrong in this room, so he was a little worried, and he wanted to come and see you when he was done."

Zhou Xuran followed Yang Yinglin to the room, and took out a delicate small box from his pocket a little unnaturally, "This is for you." ”

Yang Yinglin said with some surprise: "Why is it so good, is it a gift for me?" She opened the box, and some surprise turned out to be the butterfly hairpin at the auction, she didn't expect Zhou Xuran to auction it for herself. She liked such a delicate hairpin at first sight, but the price made her not like it, it was a little expensive, and she inadvertently remembered the special meaning of this hairpin that she saw on the day of the auction: the young master of a certain mansion personally designed the butterfly pattern, and then chose the extremely precious red agate to give to his fiancée.

"I don't like it." Zhou Xuran saw Yang Yinglin's expression change from surprise to hesitation, and her tone became cold.

"I like it, it's just that this gift is a bit expensive." Yang Yinglin squirmed to find an excuse to excuse herself.

She looked up at Zhou Xuran and frowned slightly: "It's not precious, you don't have a burden, it's just that at first glance, I think it's suitable for you, and it will suit you if you bring it, that's all." ”

Maybe Zhou Xuran didn't know the meaning of this hairpin, but she thought about it too much, Yang Yinglin looked at Zhou Xuran with a sunny expression, this thing is really nothing to Zhou Xuran's worth, and the refusal to accept it is a bit of a refutation of his mind, she told herself not to think nonsense, just a little gift, it is better to be happy with his subordinates, everyone is happy, "I just thank you." ”

At this time, Zhou Xuran showed a satisfied smile: "It's good if you like it, it's not early, you rest early, recuperate your spirits, tomorrow night is the main event, don't forget the purpose of our coming here, there are more important things we have to deal with next." ”

"I won't forget." Zhou Xuran left with relief, and did not forget to tell him before leaving: "Close the door at night, I will be next door, and I will come to me if there is something." ”

"Okay, I know Boss Zhou, you weren't like this, you've been cold, and now you're getting more and more verbose." Zhou Xuran left a little spoiled and helpless, and inadvertently saw the mirror on the dresser refracting Yang Yinglin's image, she smiled in the mirror, familiar and unfamiliar, like she was not her.

Sending Zhou Xuran away, Yang Yinglin simply washed it, sat in front of the dresser, she took out the hairpin and looked at the workmanship and texture carefully, and looked at herself in the mirror to find a place to wear this hairpin.

Inadvertently, she found that she in the mirror had happily pinned the hairpin on her head, with a smile on her face, Yang Yinglin came back to her senses, and subconsciously looked at the hairpin in her hand, and the hairpin fell to the ground: "Why are you always so careless, I said with a smile in the mirror." ”

Yang Yinglin sat quietly and picked up the hairpin and put it in front of the mirror, combing her hair quietly in front of the mirror.

Ji Ran found the restaurant hungry and looked at Zhou Xuran with some complaints: "This morning, why is everyone gone, and the matter of today's dinner, I think we still need to sum it up in advance, Yinglin is reckless, don't make any stubble." ”

"Indeed, at a critical time, Ji Ran, you act when you see the opportunity, I have a mess there, you must take care of her over there, Yinglin." Zhou Xuran instructed.

"That's a must."

"By the way, I haven't seen her since the morning, what about people? Why did she go, yesterday she cried out that she was hungry, and this morning I told her to get up and eat, but I didn't find her, and she was noon and noon. ”

Zhou Xuran looked around, didn't see that familiar figure, couldn't help but be a little worried, and suddenly remembered Yang Yinglin's joke last night, when did he have more worries.

"Could it be that something happened?" Ji Ran's expression became serious: "Your fiancée, Miss Jiang, can't do anything to her, right?" ”

"Probably not, Jiang Yiyi is busy with the banquet to receive invited guests without this thought, and this is the Zhou family manor, under my nose, she will not be so stupid and expose herself in front of me"

"But be careful, a jealous woman can do anything." Xing Zhao teased.

"You're so pervasive." Ji Ran said.

"It's just that I'm interested in you" Xing Zhao was very calm and didn't hide anything. "Why didn't you see Yinglin, maybe you're looking for her too."

Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and did not deny it: "You are also looking for her?" ”

"Of course, I'm not interested in you, if I wasn't looking for her, I'd come to you to join in the fun, every time you see me, you have an expression that I don't like, so obvious." Xing Zhao never took Ji Ran in his eyes, he looked around: "It's really strange, I haven't seen her since I turned around here and outside, where did she go, it's not right, she is with you every time, either with you or with him, you two are here, and I haven't seen her, where did you go?" ”

After Xing Zhao finished speaking, Zhou Xuran was alerted: "Yinglin's range of activities is very small, she has always been lazy, either in the room, or near this courtyard, Xing Zhao has also searched all over here, I didn't see her after turning around just now, where will she go?" ”

"Is it in the room?" Ji Ran said suspiciously.

"Before I came, I went to look for her, and I knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response, and I shouldn't be in the room." Zhou Xuran said.

Ji Ran recalled: "Early this morning, I was thinking about taking her for morning exercises, and when I was looking for her, I knocked on the door for a long time and didn't respond, and I wondered why she got up so early, unlike her style." ”

"Will she still be in the room? But if she was still in the room, how could there be no response? There's only one possibility, there's something wrong with that room. But logically speaking, with her ability, even if there is a problem with the room, it shouldn't be. Xing Zhao didn't have time to finish speaking, and saw that Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran had already rushed back.

"Wait for me, why are you in such a hurry."

They rushed to the door of Yang Yinglin's room, shouted loudly for Yinglin to open the door, knocked on the door hard, and did not respond. Zhou Xuran couldn't wait for the housekeeper to bring the key and kick the door vigorously, Xing Zhao had never seen him so flustered, the door was kicked open, and they rushed in, at this moment Yang Yinglin was sitting upright and combing her hair quietly on the dresser.

Ji Ran said a little angrily: "We have been looking for you, shouting loudly, the door has been kicked open, you have been in the room and you can't answer, we think you are in danger, I don't know how worried." ”

In the face of Ji Ran's blame, Yang Yinglin didn't say a word from beginning to end, just sat in front of the mirror with her back to them and combed her hair silently, her posture did not change, and there was no response.

"It's not good, there seems to be something wrong with Ji Ran." Zhou Xuran noticed that something was abnormal.

"It's a mirror." Xing Zhao was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground: "She, she, she is obviously combing her hair quietly in the mirror, but the person in the mirror is her and not her." Xing Zhao was frightened and spoke incoherently.

Zhou Xuran and Ji Ran looked their attention in the mirror, and the person in the picture in the realm was indeed Yang Yinglin as Xing Zhao said, not her. Exactly the same face but not like her usual expression, with a hearty smile, obviously feeling more cheerful and enthusiastic.

Slowly, the person in the mirror began to change, first the hairstyle became shorter, and then the clothes of the person in the mirror also metamorphosed into the outfit of a new school schoolgirl in a blue cloth coat.

"Ji Ran, see for yourself if Yang Yinglin in the mirror has the same hairstyle and dress as the photos that appear in the antique camera." Zhou Xuran said with some uncertainty.

"It's exactly the same, how could this scene suddenly appear in the mirror." Ji Ran exclaimed.

"What's going on? What should we do next. Xing Zhao asked the most sensible answer.

"You haven't left yet, I thought you were scared away, and you stayed here after being scared like this, your courage is commendable."

"Where to leave, I have felt since I was a child that this Zhou family manor is dark and secret, this kind of thing has happened, you are stupid to me, it is not safe to go anywhere, what should I do if something happens, it is better to be safe with you." Xing Zhao saw that Ji Ran had already left the room, and asked vigilantly, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go back to my room and get my magic weapon, and see what's weird in this room." Xing Zhao agreed: "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"Pull it down, you better stay with your cousin Zhou Xuran."

Ji Ran turned on the compass, the compass rotated at high speed and had a strong sense, he dripped his own blood, silently recited the charm to increase the mana, the compass hovered high in the sky, and the poles were not measured for a long time.

Xing Zhao looked at Ji Ran in amazement: "Ji Gongzi is also a person with real skills, disrespectful." Ji Ran glared at him: "Don't keep interrupting and delaying us from doing business." Xing Zhao consciously closed his mouth and looked at the scene in front of him intently.

"What's the situation?" Zhou Xuran saw the compass of abnormal induction.

"The aura is very strong, the magnetic poles are blurred, there are no poles, it is an evil place, no wonder such a thing happens, this place is very similar to the otherworldly space of the ancient building of the Republic of China before."

"How is that possible? When Yinglin suspected that there was something wrong with this room before, didn't you test it with a compass? There was no problem at the time, but how can it be now? ”

"So this room is very weird, you didn't grow up here, and you haven't noticed the anomaly in this room?"

"This room has been idle, our manor is very large, there are many idle rooms, although it has been idle for a long time, but someone will clean it regularly, there has never been an accident or an abnormality in this room, Ji Ran is a sudden evil spirit."

"No, so this is the strange place, until now the compass has not sensed the evil aura at all, but has sensed that the strongest magnetic pole is pointing at that place."

They looked in the direction the compass was pointing, not the mirror but the hairpin on the table.

"Hairpin?" Xing Zhao was interested: "It's the butterfly hairpin known as the love token of the Republic of China, but it is exquisitely done, Zhou Xuran, you auctioned it at the auction that day, but it was not given to Jiang Yiyi, it appeared here, was it given to Yang Yinglin?" ”

"What's the matter, it's just a hairpin with a story."

"It's so reasonable, Zhou Xuran, you can." Xing Zhao was amazed.

"That's not the point, the point is that we need to find a way to wake up Yinglin as soon as possible without harming Yinglin." Ji Ran agreed, and he and Zhou Xuran walked to the dresser and looked at Yang Yinglin who was quietly facing the mirror.

Zhou Xuran saw the hairpin on the table, and it had never been abnormal for several days, but if you looked carefully at the moment, you found that it was connected to the mirror in a straight line, and the strange thing was that these two ordinary objects were connected together to make trouble, Zhou Xuran decisively picked up the hairpin, there was an extra crack on it, and there was no abnormality, and when he was about to pick up the dagger to pierce the mirror and break through the enchantment, Yang Yinglin's smile in the mirror did not turn into an intermittent sad sob.

"You finally came to me, but so what, are you too ruthless, or am I too stupid, it's just a hairpin you gave me jokingly, you never took it to heart, but I love it so much, I actually regard it as a token of love you gave me, think about how ridiculous it is, at the end of the song, you have changed your mind after all." Yang Yinglin in the mirror suddenly took off the hairpin from her head, fell heavily on the ground, and said with a very sad sob.

Some clips flashed by, and Zhou Xuran listened to the cry of the person in the mirror in a daze.

"Why are you standing stupidly, don't be fooled." Ji Ran stepped forward.

"I won't hurt her, she is me, I am her, the reincarnation of heaven, rebirth and reincarnation are just this opportunity to tell her not to repeat the mistakes of the past and be sad, the sad thing is that when I gave my life and love as the price of sacrifice, I have given up my love, my cold heart is not hot, it turns out that everything is just a superfluous move."

After the person in the mirror finished speaking, there was a poignant smile, and the smile disappeared with the impact, and Ji Ran and Zhou Xuran were a little at a loss for a while.

Yang Yinglin mechanically recaptured the hairpin in Zhou Xuran's hand, pinned it in that position, because it was too stiff and forceful, the hairpin punctured the scalp, and blood seeped out from it, and the blood-stained hairpin actually eliminated the demonic nature, and Yang Yinglin suddenly woke up.

"Oops, my scalp hurts." She bared her teeth in pain, touched the blood on her hand, and asked angrily: "Who is this ruthless hand, this hairpin and my scalp are bleeding, let me know who did it, and he will die." ”

"What are you doing looking at me like that?"

"Because you didn't go up on it yourself."

"Ah, how could it be, how could I be so heavy on myself in such pain?" Yang Yinglin followed their gaze and saw the mirror, and she suddenly exclaimed: "There is something wrong with this mirror, how to say that the person reflected in it is like me and not me, I don't know how to describe it." ”

At this moment, she looked at herself in the mirror again: "The person in the mirror just now is obviously like me but not me, how can this return to normal, how can I describe it?" When Yang Yinglin was going crazy, Ji Ran looked at her with some worried eyes: "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

"No, it's just a little sore back."

"Are you sure? It doesn't really mean to hurt you. ”

Zhou Xuran took out the dagger in his hand and said decisively: "Since Yinglin has already come out of this enchantment, and the person is fine, then I will pierce this mirror, lest it become a demon." Zhou Xuran pricked his finger to take blood and drip it on the dagger, silently chanted a charm and stabbed at the bronze mirror, and the mirror was shattered in an instant, but the broken lens was more like a fragment of memory, and the scene of the last fragment, the person in the mirror looked at himself with tears and a smile: "You still bear me after all, it turns out that love is really bad, may I never love anyone again." The scene disappeared, the mirror shattered to the ground, and Zhou Xuran had an indescribable feeling in his heart, in short, it was not very comfortable.

"Alright, it should be fine." Ji Ran sighed lightly.

"You adjust a little, get ready, the dinner will start in a moment, don't forget the plan we set before."

"What, the dinner is about to start, isn't the dinner party set for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?"

"And what time is it?" Yang Yinglin was a little surprised when she saw Ji Ran's incredible expression.

"17 o'clock in the afternoon, to be precise, 17:03" Ji Ran replied rigorously.

"God, it's no wonder that my back hurts, I found the abnormality of the mirror when I was sorting out the hairpin in the mirror when I washed it before going to bed last night, I won't sit all night and add a day."

"Quite possibly." Ji Ran said.
