Chapter 5: Reunion of the Broken Mirror
What the hell is going on? At this moment, I felt the illusion of floating in the air, as if my soul had been stripped of my body, light and fluttering, without any sense of strength!
However, even though I know that the strangeness I am experiencing now is only a corner of my consciousness, no matter how much I struggle, I will never be able to return to "reality".
"Where is this?" I asked him in a panic.
But soon, I was confused, "If I'm in my own state of mind, how can I speak?" ”
Just as I was puzzled, the sound of glass shattering echoed all around. I could feel the heartbeat of my body outside of my state of mind, but I couldn't tell where the cracking sound was coming from.
In desperation, I had to concentrate on my state of mind and try to find a way to escape.
With the concentration of the spirit, the chaotic aura slowly dissipated, and more and more elements related to the mood were revealed, I looked around suspiciously, only to find that the place I was in was the corner of the three-story corridor of the Xinghuacun Restaurant.
And at some point, in front of the boys, there stood a man dressed like me.
I saw the boy's pupils shrink suddenly, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
"What's wrong?" I hurriedly stepped forward to pull him.
Unexpectedly, as if he had grabbed a handful of air, his five fingers clenched through his body.
I stumbled back a few steps in horror.
The corner of his eye swept in the direction of the boy's frightened eyes.
I saw a cheek like a pile of carrion, staring straight at the boy.
"Mirror corpse!" I cried out, sure that this monster in front of me, which was the same except for its appearance from mine, was the same thing that appeared in my dream last night!
I yelled at the boy, "Run~"
But he didn't react at all, and even the surrounding environment was in a state of stasis.
"No~No! This must be my split personality... Right! It must be like this. I looked at the boy in despair.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, like a bright mirror, and he moved quickly, and his body leaned forward a few centimeters at once.
"What are you going to do?"
Watching the boy leaning towards the mirror, I suddenly realized, it turned out that this is not a state of mind at all....
"This is the memory that the boy left in my consciousness! And he leaned forward, not for the mirror corpse, where... At a distance of one meter between him and the corpse, there should have been a man standing - it was me! ”
Thinking of this, I immediately rushed up, rushed through the body of the mirror corpse, and stood at the vacant position.
When everything was reset as it should have been, my mind suddenly shook violently... After a whirlwind, a thousand golden lights instantly enveloped me and the boy, like a powerful shield of light, driving away all evil.
After the golden light softened a little, the chaotic qi also settled, and I saw the boy.
At this moment, there was a teardrop on his cheek, and he cried, and his eyes, which were as clear as water, also became melancholy and sad.
"Huh~High... Brother Gao Li, I didn't expect to be able to meet you. ”
"How do you know my name?" I looked at him sobbing silently and asked softly.
The boy still burst into tears, but he tried his best to control his tone, word by word, for fear that I would not be able to hear every word he said, "Brother Li, I must be surprised why I know your name, but please don't be afraid, and don't speak, because at this moment, what you see and hear is just a fragment that I have transmitted to your consciousness in advance, and we can't communicate with the virtual image." ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked around, "The circle of golden light shields that you and I are standing on now is the enchantment that Sister Lin has set for us with the last trace of her psychic power. It's safe here, it's not only the fragment I left in your consciousness, but also Sister Lin's spiritual isolation mirror corpse...
Listen to me, and next, I'll tell you some facts that are hard for you to accept, but no matter how illogical they are, promise me and write down everything I say. ”
I nodded firmly to the boy, although I knew that he was just an image in front of me, but for some reason, looking at him like this, my heart was full of sorrow and longing, and I seemed to have a thousand feelings for him.
"Brother Peng, the world you live in now is not our world, whether you believe it or not, this must be the first thing I want you to remember.
Second, you must not marry the woman surnamed Chen, otherwise it will be a complete conspiracy in the mirror world. Moreover, you must not trust the people around you, including your 'parents' in this world. ”
When I heard this, I almost suffocated, the face of the world, the real and the false, the real and the false, I didn't know what I should believe anymore.
Suddenly, the golden light that shrouded us flickered unsteadily, and the boy's expression immediately became extremely nervous, "Oh no, Sister Lin can't hold it anymore...
Brother Peng, the last point is also about the laws of survival in the other world! Two words you must not mention in the Atlas... And these two words, I can't convey them to you with my voice now, but Sister Lin asked me to hand you a poem, she said, even if you are erased by the mirror corpse, you will never forget this five-character poem.
Find these two words from the poem! You'll find us!
Huh~ Brother... Brother Gao, you have to wake up early, Sister Lin and I..."
Before the boy could finish speaking, the golden light around him dissipated in a flash. I hurriedly jumped out of my position and continued to look at him and the mirror corpse from the perspective of a bystander.
The last thing I saw the boy was when he hugged me forward: like a brother, he reached out and gently patted me on the back.
At the same time, I noticed that his other hand nimbly pulled a note out of his trouser pocket and slipped it into my suit pocket.
Then, I only felt that the whole state of mind world was spinning again, and in just a moment, I was back in the dark environment.
Brush~ I opened my eyes suddenly, and the incandescent light above my head illuminated a dim corridor.
I knew I was back in the real world safely.
But my body was so weak that I felt like I had just experienced a life-and-death struggle, and I sat down weakly against the wall.
"What I just saw... Arrive... What is it? Hallucination? Or is it my split personality? ”
Suddenly, the last blank piece of paper passed through my thoughts, and my hands trembled unobediently...
Slowly... Reach into your pocket.
It wasn't until the tip of my index finger came to the touch of paper that I couldn't get it, and my mind suddenly went blank.
After a long time, when I could read the text intently, I saw a pair of beautiful handwriting in my hand.
"The mirror is gone, and the mirror is not returned. There is no shadow of Chang'e, and the bright moon shines in the sky. ”
I read the five-character poem in my hand, and some images flashed in my mind, intermittent, but familiar.
"The mirror is gone?" As I repeated the thoughts, it was as if a force was gushing up in my heart and rushing straight into my thoughts.
I remember!
"Broken~"
As soon as I shouted the first word, I immediately blocked my mouth, and the boy's last explanation echoed very clearly in my ears, "Brother Peng... If you want to save your life in the other world, you must not say those two words directly. ”
So, I pursed my lips and silently recited the two words that the boy wanted me to know in my heart: "Broken ~ mirror!" It's a broken mirror! ”
But to be precise, this five-character poem is an allusion to "breaking the mirror and reuniting".
Therefore, what the boy wants to tell me is clearly the four words "broken mirror reunion".
"It's obviously the four words "broken mirror and reunion", but why does he pretend to take it out of context and only take the 'broken and mirror'?"
I sat down on the floor, trying to figure out the boy's intentions, when the door to 0316 creaked open...
A slanted shadow was stretched and distorted by the light in the room.
When I raised my eyes, I saw a tall, graceful woman with a puzzled face.
"Xiao Gao? What are you doing in the corner by yourself? ”
Chen Yue stepped out of the room and walked slowly towards me.
