Chapter 1: The Mirror Corpse
In less than a few months, it will be the wedding day of Chen Yue and me.
This girl is very eccentric, and she has to ask me to spend a month of crazy days with her, saying that it is "saying goodbye to the era of love and welcoming the arrival of marriage".
In this way, the life of eating and drinking with Chen Yuehu lasted for nearly half a month.
As usual on weekends, on this day, we celebrated the final days of our mad love period at a bar.
By the time I sent the drunk Chen Yue to her house, it was already midnight.
Although Chen Yue has a hearty personality and is very aggressive, as long as she encounters things that "principle first", she still behaves more than anyone else.
So, I didn't consider staying at her house. After saying goodbye to his future father-in-law and mother-in-law in a hurry, he took a taxi home.
At the end of the new day's "Farewell Love Carnival" activity, I am exhausted. As soon as I walked into the house, I didn't say a word, and went straight to the bedroom.
By the help of wine, I fell into a deep sleep in a short time.
I don't know how long later, suddenly a shrill caller bell broke my sweet dream, I buried my head in the crook of my arm, and hummed complainingly: "I don't sleep in the middle of the night, most of it is because my brain is in water."
Despite the impatience in my mouth, I still habitually recited the seconds in my heart: "One, two, three..."
Since I confirmed my relationship with Chen Yue, it has become my habit to silently count the duration of every call that I can't answer in time.
"Six, seven! Stop it. β
Sure enough, there was no half-point difference as I expected, and seven seconds later, the troublesome ringtone stopped abruptly, and I knew that this meant that the call was from Chen Yue nine times out of ten.
"Oh, this girl. It's a shame that she didn't have a good ear, otherwise she would have heard me slap her head in water, and she wouldn't know how miserable she would have died! β
I was glad that I rolled over and fell asleep again.
"One, two, three... Seven. Hee-hee, Xiao Gao, listening to the lyrics of this seventh second, it is simply an excellent lyrical. β
I opened my eyes in a daze, followed the voice, and vaguely saw a woman lying on my left.
She turned her back to me and laughed heartily again, "Love you, as before." β
This is the lyrics of the seventh second of my ringtone.
"Chen Yue? When did you come in? β
I turned to the side and looked at her amorous back.
I saw that the silk suspenders were attached to her fair skin, reflecting the proud curves, and a seat of black hair was scattered on the pillow, exuding an elegant fragrance of osmanthus.
I swallowed my saliva tightly, and was about to rub her in my arms, when suddenly, Chen Yue jumped off the bed with his back to me.
"Haha~ Yue'er, how do you know that I am about to stop and hold you in my arms?" I asked, wondering.
"Hee-hee, one, two, three... Seven, love you, as before. Chen Yue ignored my doubts at all, and still happily repeated our "secret agreement", and followed the rhythm, swaying lightly from side to side.
I smiled helplessly.
"If I hear the lyrics and see you, wouldn't I have known this agreement?" As I spoke, I looked up at the window, and the scenery of the moon shadow was still clearly visible.
"Yue'er, don't make trouble... It's still early. I yawned and motioned for her to sleep a little longer.
"Hee-hee, one, two, three..."
When Chen Yue hummed the tune again, I had to suspect that she was sleepwalking.
To be on the safe side, I sat upright from the bed and cautiously approached her from behind.
Seeing that she could touch Chen Yue as soon as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly walked quickly to her side, so fast that when I came back to my senses, she was already sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
"Brush... Brush pull... Brush..."Chen Yue picked up the wooden comb in front of the mirror and was combing his hair unhurriedly.
The white moonlight penetrated into the room through the curtains, illuminating Chen Yue's hair like a reflective black mirror.
For some reason, I suddenly had some heart palpitations, but my strong curiosity made me walk towards Chen Yue.
"Yue'er?" I called her by her nickname in confusion.
"Bang dang..."
It seems that my call woke up Chen Yue who was sleepwalking. I saw her stiffen, and the wooden comb in her hand slipped to the ground.
"Hmm."
Chen Yue let out a dissatisfied snort and leaned down to pick up the comb.
As she leaned down, her thick black hair hung down, covering the side of her face.
Suddenly, a sound like mud slapping against the wall came to the ground.
I quickly paused and followed the sound to look over.
Through the cold moonlight, I saw in a trance, and I only felt as if something was trembling down Chen Yue's hair and falling to the ground.
"Isn't this girl still drunk?" I was distressed and stepped forward.
"Crackling", another sparse sound, accompanied by a fishy stench, diffused throughout the room.
"Yue'er, are you okay?"
I quickly leaned down to support her.
At this time, Chen Yue's body trembled significantly violently, and more filth gushed out from her "mouth".
I glanced at the floor with bated breath, and at first glance, I felt a pile of minced meat piling up on the floor.
But when Chen Yue shivered violently again, something shaped like a sphere fell down and staggered to my feet.
Through the moonlight, I can clearly see clearly, this is the human eyeball!
I took a few steps back in horror and looked at the pile of filth, and when I combined them with the human senses, the teeth, the skin, and the raw flesh became very distinguishable.
"Who are you?" I resisted the urge to gag.
The woman put her hand in the pile of carrion, pulled out the wooden comb, and was about to continue grooming in the mirror when she was interrupted by a remark from me.
I saw that her hand holding the comb suddenly hung in the air, and after a while, she slowly turned around.
Although I was mentally prepared, I was dumbfounded when a head that seemed to be made of flesh and mud was pointed at me, and my legs went limp.
"Groan," the woman suddenly twisted her neck in the hazy moonlight.
Strange to say, I seem to understand her move.
It's bewilderment! She was puzzled by the way I suddenly collapsed on the ground.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't help but think to myself: "It seems that in her consciousness, my existence and her are reasonable. If I break her original perception at this time, I am afraid that there will be unexpected dangers..."
So, I waved my hand at the meat mud woman, and barely squeezed out a smile, "It's out of the way, I accidentally slipped and fell, Yue... Yue'er, you go on. β
"Grock." The woman twisted her neck again, making a sound of grinding between her neck joints, and then turned unhurriedly to the mirror.
I took a deep breath and stared at her back, guarded, not daring to let up in the slightest.
It wasn't until I saw the woman lift her comb that I got to my feet and crept to the door.
For a moment, all that was left of the bedroom was the sound of a wooden comb sliding between the scalp and the hair.
"Brush... Brush pull..."
As I ran for my life, I pricked up my ears and listened carefully, because I couldn't turn back, so I could only confirm the woman's actions by sound.
Seeing that she was only a few steps away from the bedroom door, the woman's combing of her hair came to an abrupt halt.
I felt a sudden feeling that something was wrong. Before I could pause to make sense, I heard the strange screams of a woman, mixed with the sound of glass breaking.
I instinctively looked back.
Only then did I suddenly realize that I was both regretful and scared.
I've only been half right, but I haven't thought the situation through:
Nine times out of ten, I expected the Meat Girl to incorporate everything in the moment into her own perception, but I ignored the existence of the mirror.
Now, looking at the way it snapped into the mirror, I was sure that this eyeless monster could see itself through the mirror.
"I shouldn't let it continue to groom in the mirror,"
But now I don't care about counting myself, and before it finds me, I'd better run for my life.
So, I stopped walking on tiptoe and took a step that was crazier than the physical education sprint test when I was in school.
The sound of the mirror shattering behind me faded in, and I knew I had escaped from the bedroom.
But as soon as I thought of the appearance of the female ghost, and especially the thought that I was still in the same room with it, I became more and more panicked, and I wanted to grow a pair of wings and fly out of the windowsill.
But when people are in danger, these legs are still good.
I pondered the strange thing that had just happened, and I kept running towards my door. Before I knew it, I had come to the door in the dark.
"Whew." I changed my breath, pulled down the doorknob, and slammed it out.
"It's over, I've met a ghost hitting the wall." What I saw in front of me was astonishing.
I never imagined that I was back in the bedroom, and the corridor that was supposed to be an escape turned into a bedroom that I couldn't be more familiar with.
Even the cold moonlight in the bedroom didn't seem to change, and a woman in a white nightgown dressed herself slowly dressed herself in the mirror.
"You're back?" The woman in white put down her comb and turned back to me.
"Chen Yue? How are you..."Looking at the woman in front of me who looked the same as my fiancΓ©e, I felt my scalp tingle even more.
"Why are you so surprised? We're married, I'm not in your room, where can I go? With that, Chen Yue walked slowly towards me.
"You're not Chen Yue!" I knew I had no way back, so I made the final bet.
Sure enough, this trick "debunking" is quite effective.
Like the female ghosts I saw just now, they all live in their own consciousness, more precisely, their existence is like a programme, but they retain some of Chen Yue's signs and memories, but unlike ordinary procedures, they seem to have a potential "self-awareness".
And my sentence "You are not Chen Yue" has awakened her consciousness.
I looked at the woman tightly, only to see that she was stunned and let out a strange low growl.
"You man! Can't you be more interesting? If you can't cooperate with me to become a complete mirror corpse, it's useless to leave you! With that, she came to me quickly.
"Mirror corpses?" Before I could ask, it swung up with its teeth and claws.
I instinctively raised my arms to protect myself...
I only felt a gust of wind coming.
I opened my eyes in horror.
By this time, a faint light from the window had penetrated into my bedroom through the curtains, swaying in the breeze and swaying on my half-naked skin. In a trance, I breathed a sigh of relief and realized that all this was just a dream.
But the exhaustion of my body made me feel that the nightmare of this night was very real.
I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the dresser in the corner...
In the swaying light and shadow of the morning light, I faintly saw a palm print.
