Chapter 6 Crisis Strikes
I hurriedly crumpled the note in my hand and stuffed it back into my pocket when Chen Yue wasn't paying attention.
"Oh, no... I didn't do anything, I just chatted with the boy. I stood up slowly with one hand on the ground.
Chen Yue's eyebrows twisted, and he looked at me suspiciously, "What boy?" ”
"It's the porter who led the way for us just now, the one with clear eyebrows."
Chen Yue was even more puzzled, thinking that I was pretending to scare her, so she snorted cooperatively: "Oops... I'm so scared, that boy must be coming for me. ”
After speaking, Chen Yue playfully held my arm like a child, "Hahaha... You're a guy who usually blushes even when you lie, how can you be so strange today? ”
"I..."
As I spoke, I subconsciously touched the "evidence" in my pocket, and I was very frightened, so I didn't dare to say anything more.
Chen Yue saw that I was struggling, and he no longer embarrassed me, "Okay, okay, let's stop joking... Abya is still waiting for you. ”
With a squeak~, the door slowly opened, and I involuntarily followed in.
"Sitdown, please!" Chen Yue pulled out a straight-backed chair next to her for me, patted the back of the chair, and said to me.
This is Chen Yue's habit, which is different from the "seven-second ringing appointment", and occasionally speaking a commonly used English sentence is her occupational disease.
I silently glanced at Ah Cong and Aya, only to see them looking at me and Chen Yue with smiling faces.
"I haven't heard of it: show affection, no morality... Hey, Gao Shi, look at your happiness. Ah Cong said half-jokingly.
"Heh... Be... Oh, yes. ”
I only feel like my heart is sealed by something, and I don't dare to react too aggressively, if it were in the past, maybe I would have rubbed Chen Yue, but now, the words of the cream Xiaosheng are like a gramophone with me, echoing in my ears from time to time: "Brother Peng, don't trust anyone around you... Including your parents in the mirror world. ”
Aya saw my strange appearance, rolled her eyes, and asked me, "Xiao Gao, why do you look so wooden?" It's not like your usual style, what? Got something on your mind? ”
"Huh? No... No. I feigned a smile and pretended to be relaxed in response.
"Isn't it... This big man has been wrong since the morning, I can tell you..."
"Yue'er... That's enough! Don't talk about today! When Chen Yue was about to talk to them about my suspicion of the "mirror", I yelled.
The atmosphere was quiet, dead and dreary, like the sea at the prelude of a storm.
Chen Yue's eyes were filled with tears and puzzlement... Chu Chu looked at me pitifully.
Seeing this, Aya immediately greeted her, hugged Chen Yue, and turned around to scold me: "Xiao Gao, no matter how bad your mood is, you can't be fierce Yue'er." ”
"I... Right... I'm sorry. ”
Looking at the two of them, I regretted the "recklessness" just now. At this moment, the thoughts of truth and falsehood, fiction and reality floated in my mind again, and I had to suspect that I was indeed suffering from schizophrenia.
"Woo~Woo~Woo" Chen Yue leaned on Aya's arms, aggrieved.
"Isn't it just that you've been studying the relationship between 'mirror' and 'psychology' recently, and tell everyone to have fun... You're a big man, and you're still shy... Woooooooo ”
My heart suddenly tightened, and the hands hanging on my legs couldn't help but clench. Chen Yue finally said "mirror".
I looked at Ah Cong nervously, afraid that something unexpected would happen.
But Ah Cong just waved his hand lightly.
"Hey, what am I supposed to do..."
"The study of a broken thing is not worth it, it is not worth it."
I clearly heard it clearly, this sentence "a broken thing" came from the mouths of Chen Yue, A Cong and Aya at the same time!
"What... Is it? I checked again with trepidation.
"I said, the study of broken things and psychology..."Ah Cong gave me a puzzled look.
I hurriedly pretended to cough, quickly covered my mouth, and my stomach suddenly turned upside down.
"According to Chen Yue's temperament, she will definitely shout at me, 'Isn't it just a broken mirror, are you there?' But now, not to mention Chen Yue, even Ah Cong and Ah Ya are also..."
My mind was racing at a high speed, trying to calm myself down.
"Brother Li, don't mention those two words in the mirror world."
The boy's words whistled in my ears like a wind again.
I kind of understand the meaning of the word "broken mirror", "It seems that these two words are not only unspeakable to me, but also a kind of taboo for them... It's even possible..."
I suddenly remembered last night's "mirror corpse" nightmare, in the dream, the female ghost who combed her hair in the mirror at midnight didn't think she was Chen Yue, if she hadn't seen the rotten face clearly, or my exposure, I'm afraid she wouldn't have realized that she was just a "mirror corpse"!
"So... There is even a possibility that in their language, there is no use of the word 'broken mirror' at all! ”
At this thought, I was on the verge of collapse, as if I were a person walking on thin ice, and if I didn't pay attention, I would lose my life.
"I'm sorry, Yue'er, I may be tired."
I apologized to Chen Yue again, but the purpose of doing so was no longer because of my love for her.
In order to protect myself, and not to awaken their "mirror consciousness", I had to act as if nothing had happened.
Chen Yue wiped his eyes and smiled, "Forget it... Miss Ben is not so stingy. I'm also to blame for this, I shouldn't have dragged you around all day, all day long. ”
Seeing that Chen Yue had recovered her mood, Aya returned to her seat with peace of mind.
"Let's order." Ah Cong motioned to Chen Yue.
Everyone looked around and looked at each other.
"Poof... What a broken restaurant! Not even a wall phone! Chen Yue shook his head helplessly and continued: "Forget it, I'll go to the service desk in person, the three of you will drink some tea on the table first, and I'll come when I go." ”
Squeak~ya~ah, listening to the sound of the door closing faintly, I didn't dare to look back.
Aya turned the glass plate on the dining table and turned a white porcelain spout pot with tea in front of me.
At this moment, I realized that I had been clenching my fists for too long, and I just wanted to reach out and lift the teapot, but my arm was numb-
"Bang," the teapot slammed over on the table.
I hurriedly grabbed the cloth and covered it.
"Haha... Look, how long has Yue'er been gone... You can't take care of yourself. Ah Cong quipped.
I pressed the cloth in my hand, very lightly, and wiped off the pale green tea that remained on the table.
"Alas... I thought that Yue'er was born a princess, but I didn't expect that after meeting the prince charming she identified..."
During the time when she was waiting for Chen Yue to come back, Aya was tirelessly chatting with us about Chen Yue's past.
I kept my head buried in the tablecloth I pressed on the table, only occasionally raising my eyes, or smiling or nodding, but I could hear vaguely what Aya and Cong were saying.
Suddenly, Aya paused, and her tone was puzzled, "Huh? Yue'er has been gone for a while, right? Why haven't you come back yet? ”
I subconsciously shook my fingers, and the tea that had been adsorbed into the dining cloth flowed out again, drop by drop, along the edge of the table and onto my trousers.
"I'll take a look!"
Ah Cong and Aya were stunned for a moment by my sudden call, and after the two glanced at each other, they said in unison: "Okay... All right. ”
Without saying a word, I stood up and turned to the door.
As soon as the gap was opened, the cold wind from the corridor poured in.
I suddenly froze my hand, "How can the air pressure difference between the outside of the door and the inside of the room be formed by the closed space?" But this gloomy wind..."
When I realized that the situation had changed, I hurriedly stopped my steps and did not dare to move forward in the slightest.
"What's wrong?" Aya asked suddenly.
I swallowed my spittle, turned my head slowly, and was thinking about what to do, when a sound of glass breaking came from outside the door, and the wind whistled with Sasha, which made me shudder.
Immediately, the light in the room flickered on and off.
"Broken ~ mirror!"
I just listened, a scream in the tone of an opera came from the far end of the corridor, pouring into my eardrums in a torrential manner.
"Who is it? Who shouted this 'broken mirror'? I was so shocked that I quickly closed the door and pressed my back against the handle.
Before I could settle down, the chandelier suddenly went out, and the room was plunged into darkness.
"Hee-hee-hee... Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee
Getting closer...
Holding my breath, I pressed against the wooden door and quietly moved to the other side of the wall.
"Hee-hee-hee... Hee-hee-hee..."
The sound of a child's laughter followed, and although I couldn't see anything, I knew that I was in danger this time, because Aya, who was naturally afraid of the dark, could not be so calm.
I even guessed that this weird laugh was most likely from Aya.
With a bang, my right foot kicked the last way out of the road and landed on the wall with a muffled sound.
"It's over...," I thought to myself.
Seeing that everything was unavoidable and irreversible, I exerted all my strength and shouted at the source of the laughter: "Who is it?!" ”
At this moment, the chandelier on the central roof suddenly flickered, and then went out again in just a moment.
But for me, it's enough for me to see what's going on, because I don't need to doubt anymore...
At this time, the humanoid carrion standing in front of me is the "mirror corpse" that has repeatedly appeared in my dreams for the past month!
"Hee-hee-hee... Brother Cong, they are so bad, people still want to play with the handsome guy again, you say, what should we do now? ”
"Smack", suddenly, a muffled sound sounded, and it sounded like a slap on the flesh of the "person" who spoke.
"Shut your body! I hate when people call me Ah Cong. ”
The girl's voice was clearly playful, but her emotions were extremely sad.
"Humph! Those ethereal corpses... Fortunately, they came at a good time. Ya, control Gao Zhi, just wait for the ethereal corpse to reshape him. ”
"Hmm... Hee-hee-hee... Hee-hee-hee. ”
