Chapter 42: The World in the Mirror
Surprised, I hurriedly lifted the lighter in my hand to see where I was now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info by the faint light, I found that this is the bathroom in the mirror, the structure and the placement of items are all reversed left and right, the tiles on the wall also look tattered, and covered with yellow-brown spots, and from time to time oozing out black liquid, emitting bursts of rancid stench.
The room in the mirror in front of me is my bathroom, but there is no me in the mirror. At this moment, I felt as if I had come to a place that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Just when I was at a loss, the lighter started to get a little hot because it had been lit for too long.
I would like to find a candle to light it in place of the lighter in my hand. But when I looked at the place where the candles had been placed, the white candles turned red. Since the lighter in my hand was already a little hard to hold, I didn't think about it, so I lit it.
I hurriedly put away the lighter and shook my burning hand again. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "If I try again as I did now, will I be able to return to the original world?" ”
Thinking of this, I slapped my thigh and read it. After reading "......" three times, I remembered that I couldn't make any sound at all, and even if I did, it didn't have any effect at all.
I anxiously looked around the room, looking for anything that could help me. Toothpaste, towels, facial cleansers, nothing that could be used, not even anything that gave me an idea of where I am.
I panicked, grabbed the glass from the washstand and smashed it to the ground, the moment the cup touched the ground, it shattered into countless pieces, but it didn't make any sound.
The world is so quiet, eerily quiet, as if any sound here will be swallowed up in an instant, leaving no trace. In the candlelight, I looked at my hands upside down from side to side, as if I were looking at a monster.
Just when I was at a loss for anything, a dark red light suddenly appeared in the crack under the door. I hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and the moment it opened, I was stunned.
At this moment, a manor appeared in front of me, a manor surrounded by patches of black roses. In the center of the manor is a large and ornate fountain that constantly spews out a dark red liquid. Behind it is an ancient castle with a strong European Renaissance architectural style, and a little bit of early Eastern European Byzantine style when you look closely, giving people an extremely luxurious feeling. Behind it rises a bell tower, which is completely different from the style of the castle and looks a little out of place.
I thought to myself, "Could this be the castle of the countess that Hu Fang said?" Thinking of this, my feet involuntarily stepped out, and I looked up and was once again shocked by the sight in front of me. In the blood-red sky, a large dark cloud hung over the entire manor, and from time to time there were lightning bolts piercing the sky, as if he had fallen into hell again.
But as soon as I left the room, I noticed something unusual. Hurriedly looked back, and now I was completely dumbfounded, the door I had just come out had disappeared without a sound. In front of him appeared a huge iron door covered with rust, which was already crawling with rose vines.
Seeing that there was no way out, I had to go on my way, and the path was full of thorny vines, so that I had to swing my sword back and forth.
At that moment, I saw several thin figures in front of me, walking slowly and aimlessly among the thorns.
I was curious and wanted to go up and see what was going on. So I lowered my body, trying to avoid the piercing vines, and approached the moving figures.
When I got closer, the slow-moving figures turned out to be a person, their eyes were ruthlessly gouged out, and their mouths were sewn up with thread. It was as if they were lost in the rose forest, letting the thorns run through their skins and blood pouring out of their wounds.
Every time I moved forward a certain distance, more of these figures appeared in front of me, and I suddenly remembered the story Hu Fang said: "Didn't her friend just gouge out her eyes?" Could it be that these people here are the ones who were brutally murdered by Bloody Mary? And the soul seems to be imprisoned here forever. Am I going to be locked up here forever like them? ”
When I think about this, I can't help but feel a pang in my heart. In this space where there was no sound, I began to become depressed and agitated, if those were the souls of the dead, then am I dead or alive at this moment?
Gradually, my inner consciousness began to deviate gradually. But I knew that the more times like this, the more I couldn't panic, so I tried my best to keep my composure, and clenched the spirit in my hand again, trying to stabilize my mentality.
At this moment, I saw the crowd of unjust spirits in front of me stop in place at the same time, and they all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the bell tower.
Thinking something big was about to happen, I hurriedly pressed my body into the thorn bushes, quietly watching the unjust spirits, ready to deal with what might happen next.
But the unjust spirits just stood there stupidly, and just as I wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the castle, "Boom! Suddenly, a deafening bell rang in the sky, and the sound was so harsh in such silence that I couldn't help but cover my ears.
After a moment I let go of my hand, but the unjust spirits heard the sound and rushed towards the bell tower, as if fleeing the impending catastrophe.
In a moment I was the only one left in the huge rose garden, and I did not dare to think about it, nor did I dare to run with the unjust spirits to the bell tower, so I ran towards the gate of the castle in front of me.
As soon as I came to the huge door, before I could reach out and push it, the door slowly opened by itself. The result is a very spacious vestibule with a variety of medieval ornaments and a huge chandelier hanging from the roof.
But I don't want to appreciate it at all, I just want to find a way to go back. At that moment, a force behind me pushed me in, and I staggered into the castle without reacting for a moment.
I screamed that something was wrong, and I turned around and tried to get out, but the door behind me was closed. I hurriedly banged on the door with my hands and feet, trying to open it. But the gate was more than three meters high, at least a thousand pounds, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't shake it.
I sat on the floor with my back to the door, and I thought to myself, "What a wrong move, and I lost the whole game." But if I stay outside, I can't go back, so I can only take one step at a time. ”
Thinking about it, I stood up and looked around, and found that this hall was different from the medieval buildings I had seen before, and instead of a staircase leading to the second floor, there was a large square room with a corridor on the left and right sides.
For a moment, I didn't know where to go, and when I was confused, I looked at the spirit in my hand, intending to use it to show me the way. I threw my sword into the air with my left hand, and the sword hit the ground, the tip pointing right into the corridor to the left. I picked up my sword and headed for the path to the left.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a strong smell of blood, and a sense of foreboding spread through me. The corridor was at least sixty or seventy meters long, and there were many rooms neatly arranged on both sides, each with a name in English.
Just as I was halfway there, a door suddenly opened, and I was completely unprepared for the sudden opening.
But when she looked closely, there was a string of English written in blood on the wall directly opposite the door, which meant "Let her find herself!" "Other than that, there was no furniture in the room at all.
As I wondered, all the doors around me opened at this moment, and a woman with long hair and a shawl stepped out of every door, except for the room with blood letters.
They were dressed in medieval European costumes, some of them looking very luxurious, while others were unremarkable. Seeing this, I subconsciously hid in the room with blood written on it, and gently closed the door.
Through the crack in the door, I saw that the women, without exception, had their eyes gouged out, but unlike the unjust spirits outside, their mouths were not sewn shut. The women wandered the hallway, occasionally waving their hands in an attempt to grab something.
At that moment, two of them seemed to touch each other's bodies, and they were stunned for a moment, and then their faces began to twist, and their mouths opened wider and wider, until their entire heads were torn in half, and rows of sharp fangs grew out of the torn heads.
In an instant, the two of them gnawed at each other, and as they scuffled, they touched the other companions. The women who were touched also tore their heads open, bared their fangs, and joined the battle.
In an instant, the corridor was a blur of flesh and blood, and the only two or three monsters that remained lay on the ground, gnawing at the bodies that had been torn to pieces.
I saw that they had little eyesight and relied solely on their sense of touch to judge their prey, so I tried to sneak out while the monsters were biting. At that moment, I felt a chill behind me.
I suddenly turned around, and there was something behind me that was identical to the monsters outside the door, and I was shocked, "When did she come in?" It's not like there's nothing in this room......"
Thinking of this, I suddenly saw an open door on my left, connecting the room next to the passage. Now I realized that almost all the rooms were interconnected, but I didn't notice it because I was in a hurry just now.
The monster behind me was getting closer and closer, and just as I was about to touch me, I hurriedly pulled the door open. He was about to run away, but the monster that had gnawed at the corpse seemed to have lost interest in things that couldn't move, and began to wander around again, searching for his target.
I opened the door too quickly, and almost collided with the monster that happened to be roaming in the doorway, and I hurriedly reached out and grabbed the door frame and froze my body.
But at that moment I could feel the monster behind me about to touch my body, and in front of me was blocked by a large mouth full of flesh and fangs.
"Am I really going to do anything?"
