160 World in the Mirror
When we first entered the ballroom, I was fascinated by the mural on the roof. Many banquet halls have murals painted on the ceiling, and the contents of the murals are generally not specified.
But the one above my head, in my opinion, is "strange".
It is a complete painting of seven people and a cat, six of whom are kneeling on the ground, looking at men and women in dress. In the direction of their prostrations stood a woman, who appeared to be lying horizontally in front of these people due to the flat nature of the painting, with long black hair scattered but in the painting, there seemed to be nothing under her hair to support her.
The woman was wearing a white robe, covering her feet, and the place where she should have been facial features was empty, and compared to the different facial features of the others, this woman's facial features seemed to have been forgotten by the painter.
If that's all there is, then this painting is not strange. It's weird, the kneeling people are all wearing modern clothes, and one of the women has a leather bag in her hand, if I'm not mistaken, it seems that Li Nuannuan carried it not long ago, which means it's the latest. Another strange place was the black and gray tabby cat, which was lazily lying next to the woman, but not like a cat, but like a lazy woman. Because it is a mural, the overall composition is very simple, but only this cat, it can be said to be the most delicate part of the whole painting, the smug smile at the corner of its mouth, the narrow gaze in its eyes, people can't take their eyes off, as if it is a person at all, and is the protagonist of this painting.
I stared at it for a long time, until I suddenly heard Li Yu's voice, "Good news? ”
I suddenly came back to my senses, looked at Li Yu, saw that he was looking at me, and hurriedly said, "Were you looking at that painting just now?" ”
Li Yu nodded, raised his eyes to glance at it again, and said, "It looks strange. ”
I said, "It looks like a funeral." This is a banquet hall, even in the bathroom, which is too strange. ”
Li Yu said: "It is not necessarily not a funeral, but some special ceremony. However, the clothes worn by these people are very concerning, and they are the styles of the past few years. ”
I said, "That's right, the red bag that the woman put on the ground, I seem to have seen your sister carry it." ”
Li Yu laughed and said, "That's right, this bag is limited at the time, and it is even more coincidental that this woman must also be known to me." ”
I asked, "Who is it?" ”
"It may not be convenient to go into detail here." Li Yu said, "Let's talk about it after we go out." ”
That's right, this ghost hitting the wall is inexplicable, so let's be careful.
Then I went to wash my hands, and there was a mirror hanging above the sink, and I was stunned as soon as I walked over.
...... in the mirror Nothing.
I turned my head to look at Li Yu, but I only received a puzzled look, and I asked, "Did you see it?" ”
"What?" He looked dazed.
"There's nothing in this mirror." I said, "We're standing in front of it!" ”
Li Yu said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're in the mirror with me. But then he reacted and asked, "Can't you see?" ”
I shook my head, "I can't see it." As he spoke, he reached out and touched it.
Li Yu grabbed my wrist and said, "Don't touch it!" ”
I came to my senses, turned my head to Li Yu and said, "You say...... It's not going to be an exit here, is it? ”
Li Yu said: "Then wait. ”
I asked, confused, "What are you waiting for?" Apparently there is something wrong with this mirror. ”
He said, "What if its problems are not what we think?" ”
I asked, "What does that look like?" ”
"Maybe it will hurt you?" He said.
I said, "Probably not, it's never been like this before." Seeing that he didn't speak, I urged again: "There is no us in the mirror, which may mean that you and I are not the real you and me now, but our souls, so in this way, our bodies are outside, and we have to go back as soon as possible." ”
Li Yu shook his head, "I've seen your soul, and you look the same as usual now." ”
I said, "That's ......."
"We've been all the way, and only here is the difference, so I also think that the problem is in the mirror." Li Yu said: "Moreover, I just observed, this bathroom is exactly the same as the one you went to before, including the painting on the roof. ”
I asked, "Didn't you just come in?" ”
Li Yu said: "Because you haven't come out for too long, I'm a little worried, and I went in once." But I heard you talking to myself inside, and knew you were okay, so I went out. ”
I asked, "What did you hear?" ”
Li Yu laughed slightly and said, "You won't want to know." ”
Not......
Apparently about forgetting about sanitary napkins, I really didn't want to know, so I just got serious, "The furnishings are exactly the same, but since I didn't look closely at the bathroom when I was upstairs, I'm not sure if it's exactly the same." But I also think you're right, the mystery is in the mirror, so let me touch it. ”
Li Yu asked: "You first recall carefully, when you were upstairs, did you touch the mirror there?" ”
I said, "I don't remember." ”
"That's why I want you to remember it carefully." Li Yu said.
I thought about it for a while, but my head felt like I had lost my memory, and I couldn't remember it at all.
At this moment, Li Yu suddenly pointed to the mirror and said, "You have touched it." ”
I followed along, and saw that the place he pointed to was a faint mark of a few fingers.
Then I suddenly remembered that when I came out to wash my hands, I accidentally splashed water on the glass. I rubbed it with my hand a few times, because it was a habitual action, and I didn't remember it.
I'm not sure if I made the mark, but it looks like it's pretty much the same.
I couldn't help but mutter, "Could it be...... Did I really touch it? After speaking, he stretched out his hand and said, "It looks like I really have to touch it." ”
Li Yu shook my hand again.
I turned my head and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I still feel like I have to talk about it again," he said. ”
"What else is there to negotiate? We don't have any other way out now, and if I touched it, it was just an attempt, and nothing would necessarily happen. I said, "You can't be Wu Jingkang, right?" ”
He frowned, "Of course I'm not. ”
I said, "Then show your decisiveness, why do you keep grinding and chirping, it's so annoying." ”
He didn't say anything, so I pulled his hand away and reached out towards the mirror.
Just when my fingertips were about to touch the mirror, I suddenly thought of something, turned my head to look at Li Yu, and asked, "You are really not Wu Jingkang, right?" ”
Li Yu frowned, this time he didn't speak, but glanced at me.
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank you for worrying about me." ”
He didn't seem to be happy, still looking worried and frustrated.
I grabbed his wrist and said, "If this mirror suddenly opens its mouth and sucks me in, you pull it with all your might." If you can't pull it, you'll be sucked in with me. That way, you don't have nothing to contribute, and you don't have to be frustrated that you're not a man enough. ”
Li Yu frowned, looking very helpless, but still said, "I will catch you." ”
It's been a long time since I've thought he's so cute, so I can't help but lean over and kiss him on the lips, and before he can react, I touch the mirror.
And then......
Nothing happened.
One second, two seconds, three seconds......
Time passed slowly, and I finally came back to my senses and looked at Li Yu, only to find that he was no longer by my side at some point.
I could be sure it wasn't some kind of tremendous force pulling him apart, because I didn't feel anything unusual at all.
At the same time, I looked in the mirror, which was empty except for a closed bathroom door.
Although I have experienced too many terrible scenes, my heart shakes violently at this moment.
Some people scream when they panic in extreme panic, but I'm not that type, I was completely frozen, my mind was completely blank, and my hands and feet couldn't stop shaking.
Suddenly, there was a violent knock on the door, and I couldn't help but feel excited, and heard Li Yu's voice outside the door, "Good news!" Open the door! I'm a carp! ”
I came back to my senses, turned around and ran to open the door, and saw Li Yuzheng standing outside the door, and he didn't even retract his actions when I opened the door.
I couldn't help but cover my mouth, but Li Yu's reaction was much faster than mine, and he reached out and hugged my body. At the moment I touched him, my panicked heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and I hurriedly hugged his neck.
We hugged each other for a while, until our nervous hearts gradually calmed down.
Li Yu let go of his hand first, the irrepressible joy on his face, and said, "Let's go back to the real world." ”
I haven't reacted yet, "The real world? What do you mean? ”
"It's literal." He said, "Let's go back upstairs." ”
After Li Yu finished speaking, he stepped out of the way, and I saw the world behind him. It was obviously upstairs, and there were a few waiters walking around, and one of them noticed our strange look and was about to walk towards us.
Li Yu waved his hand at him, signaling that we didn't need to serve, and said to me, "Let's go, Duan Moxiu is still waiting." ”
Naturally, I was going to leave, but at this moment, I turned my face sideways, and the afterglow drifted to the mirror, and I saw a man and a woman in the mirror hugging each other and kissing, naturally it was me and Li Yu.
The "I" in it seemed to notice that someone was looking at them, and their eyes slid to the corners of their eyes, as if they were looking at me as well.
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, the muscles in my whole body were tense, and I grabbed Li Yu's arm.
At the same time, the "I" in the mirror frowned, but it was only for a brief moment, and soon, she hooked the corners of her mouth again and smiled slightly.
Li Yu stopped, and there was confusion in his eyes: "What's wrong?" ”
