I sat curled up on the ground, trying to calm my frantic heartbeat, the phone screen at the foot of the mirror was still on, but there was no ringing...

I can't help but wonder, is all this just an accident? But for the same thing, when there are many accidents, there is a necessary connection.

Just as I was staring at my phone, overwhelmed, the ringtone rang again.

At first glance, only a series of eerie "symbols" are glimpsed.

I thought I was dazzled at first, closed my eyes slightly, and then opened my eyes, and then I dared to be convinced that the "symbol" reflected on the screen was actually an inverted number, just like someone took out a thin white paper, first wrote the number on one side of the paper, and then asked me to interpret the correct number of the "mirror number" from the other side of the paper through the light.

Again, this time the call lasted only seven seconds.

I anxiously paced back and forth in front of the mirror, and when I combined the two numbers that were reversed and symmetrical to each other, I had a faint glimmer of light in my heart, and I hurried to the dressing mirror.

"You can't be wrong, these two calls contain three messages." As I pondered, I lit up the screen, and by the faint light, I saw four handprints on the mirror.

The guess in my heart suddenly became a little clearer: among the three handprints, if the palm printed in last night's dream is deducted, the remaining three palm prints don't correspond to the two calls just now!

"You can't be wrong! This is the fourth signal. ”

However, with these signals, there is only one possibility at most, that is, Lin Shufan is hidden in the mirror.

I frowned and thought, "But even if you know this, what's the use?" ”

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but reach out to the mirror, and the cold feeling was close to the palm of my hand, and no matter how hard I tried, I was only separated by the mirror glass, and there was no way to get into the mirror.

"What's missing?"

I couldn't help but count them: "Phone number, seven-second ring, three palm prints..."

In order to make my thinking clearer, I grabbed the lipstick that Chen Yue had placed on the dresser, twisted the cap, held the pen in a posture, and used the mirror as "paper" to write the words "electricity", "seven", and "three" respectively to replace the key information that had been obtained in my mind.

"The phone... It's my number, it's illogical, but what exists is reasonable, and if I have to find a reason for its existence, I think someone must be trying to send me an accurate message. ”

Following this conjecture, I continued to dig deeper: "And this seemingly impossible number... It's not Chen Yue's, it's not anyone else, it's pointing at me... Why is that? ”

Thinking of this, I was suddenly shocked, "I can't be wrong!" The key point of the first message that Lin Shufan wanted to tell me was 'me'! ”

With that in mind, I marked the word "I" on the mirror.

"Numbers that are inversely symmetrical to each other are the second signal, representing a mirror image or possibly a mirror." So, I put down the "pen" and wrote the word "mirror" after the word "I".

This is indeed a method that works, and when the hidden messages in the "seven" and "three" are marked on the mirror surface by lipstick, the "voice-over" hidden in the four messages gradually emerges.

When I looked at the words "I-mirror-seven-three", I suddenly had a strong feeling, "The person who delivered this set of information really knows me too well... It's the same as tonight at Xinghuacun Restaurant.

You must know that unless you are a person who specializes in idioms and allusions, it would be too risky for Lin Shufan to only let 'Tong' convey to me the meaning of 'broken mirror reunion' with a poem hidden in it. ”

After analyzing it like this, I am even more curious about this woman named "Lin Shufan", because the mysterious numbers "seven and three" newly presented on the mirror at this moment are similar to the appearance of "Broken Mirror Reunion".

These are not two unrelated numbers, and I know from that part of my memory that has not been erased: "Seven and three represent the hour." ”

But I don't know why I know this strange and seemingly useless knowledge. Right now, the most important thing is to resist the attack of the group of carrion mirror corpses outside the door, and try to fight for yourself as much time as possible.

I subconsciously looked at the time displayed on my phone: it was 12 o'clock in the morning, nearly 50 o'clock in the morning! It made me overjoyed, "In less than three quarters of an hour, the doors of the mirror world will open." ”

As soon as I thought of this, I had to be amazed by the elaborate design of these two women, Chen Yue and Lin Shufan, and even thought to myself, maybe they had already met or communicated with each other through the ability of "spiritism"? Otherwise, how would Chen Yue know that the spiritual power of the moon's protection would guide me to arrive home at the end of the child's time?

But the more I guessed it was, the worse it would be, after all, the ultimate goal of all careful planning is to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

I couldn't help but get even more nervous, sweating suddenly, imagine, if I didn't know that the "seven" and "three" together represented the meaning of "seven people and three ghosts", the consequences would be unimaginable.

The so-called "seven people and three ghosts", in fact, is a definition of people in yin and yang, some ancients believed: everyone has seven points of popularity and three points of ghost energy, at night, yin and yang decline, ghost energy will rise, if you look in the mirror at this time, you will often see things that should not be seen. At this time, people's spirits are in the process of alternating and dissociating, if they are frightened, or disturbed by some internal and external factors, it is very easy to be scared out of the original spirit, and the saying of "timid as a mouse" is more or less related to this.

Ugly time, corresponding to 1 to 3 a.m. It was at this hour that I remembered the nightmares of these nights, which had taken place at this hour.

Maybe the time of other dreams is not clear, but when I sent the drunk Chen Yue home last night, it was the end of the night...

The thought that the reasoning in the calculus had been verified by the actual situation made me really reassured... If that's the last hope, I'll give it a go, so I immediately turned around and headed for the living room.

First, he covered the doors of the other two bedrooms, study, and bathroom, and found some clothes that he wore on weekdays and hung them by the door to confuse the public. After that, I took a long-backed chair from the kitchen, and after entering my bedroom, I put the upper spiral of the back of the chair diagonally on the handle, so that it formed a solid triangular structure with the door and the ground, and finally moved some heavier things to pile up behind the door where I could do it.

I was carrying the drawer I had pulled out of the middle of the closet, and as soon as I stepped into the piled up "barriers", I heard the sound of steel breaking from outside the hall... Immediately after, the sound of wet footsteps became chaotic, and they crowded in the direction of the study... In less than half a minute, I heard the angry roar of the mirror corpses, they seemed to see my little trick, and after a short silence, the footsteps parted and went in all directions.

After a while, there was the sound of corpse claws scratching outside the bedroom.

I held my breath, tiptoed down the wooden drawer in my hand, and hurried three steps and two steps towards the mirror, while glancing at the time—

00:59

It's time! I quickly put my phone back in my inner pocket, leaned my hands on the vanity mirror, and leaned forward at a thirty-degree angle.

Before I knew it, beads of sweat were oozing from my mirrored hands, and I was panting roughly, waiting for fate...

Hearing a sharp tearing sound behind me, I immediately raised my eyes and followed the image in the mirror to look at the position of the door... The red moonlight shone through the crack in the door, ghostly striking at the barrier we had just set up.

A corpse claw stabbed in... With the sound of wood crackling, an opening was opened in an instant.

The appearance of poking into half of the corpse is quite familiar... I looked at it, and it was the aunt I met at the elevator entrance!

She grinned, twisted her neck, smiled ghostly at me, and easily broke the chair under the handle. Squeak... The door opened.

And the pile of ground barriers is even more like a fictitious one, and with three or two strokes, the group of corpses has already crossed the line.

I slapped helplessly on the mirror surface as still as the lake water, and screamed...

"Oops! A minute has definitely passed... The mirror has not changed in the slightest... Definitely my reasoning went wrong! ”

In the reflection of the mirror, I saw the "corpse aunt" who took the lead proudly waved her ghost claws at me...

At the time of crisis, I turned around suddenly, and there was no way to avoid it, so I subconsciously leaned back, and half of my ass sat on the mirror platform, and my back and the back of my head also clung to the cold mirror.

Suddenly, I only felt that the mirror glass, which was originally as hard as thin ice, had a hint of cotton like water, "Could it be..."

By the time I had just thought of it, my body had been carried into the mirror by a huge vortex.

Originally... The true meaning of these inversely symmetrical numbers is: to be in the mirror with your back to your back!

I opened my eyes in a daze, and I still wondered why Chen Yue and Lin Shufan didn't tell me directly in words with such complicated information, and the scene that appeared in front of me, which I was no longer familiar with, made me have to put aside this "irrelevant" question for the time being.

"Isn't this my bedroom? Could it be that you have encountered a ghost hitting the wall again?! ”

I sat up and looked back at the door... There were no more barricades there, let alone a large number of corpses.

"It seems that this is no longer the same space as it used to be, but why is it still the same as my bedroom?"

Just as I was immersed in dazed thoughts, a cold light flashed from the position of the bed, flickering and dimming, penetrating into the corner of my eye...

I raised my hand to cover it, and then looked in the cold light, only to see that the bed in the room was long gone, replaced by a huge black lacquered coffin!
