Chapter 6: The World in the Mirror
"Ouch!"
With a loud scream, he felt as if he had hit something on his head, Wu Cun hurriedly covered the sore spot on the back of his head with both hands, and his eyes were stabbed tightly by the dazzling light.
This closed his eyes, Wu Cun came back to his senses in an instant, dazzling? Is it a bright light? From just now, he can be said to have groped in the dark alone, scared and helpless, and now the sudden appearance of the light did make Wu Cun a little overjoyed, temporarily forgetting that there seemed to be danger just now, struggling to squint his eyes to see the surroundings clearly.
"Humph!"
In the blur, a cold snort that seemed to be mockery came into his ears, and this time, it was directly by his side, Wu Cun's heart tightened, but after a short period of careful identification, his nervous heart finally relaxed a lot, because the cold snort he heard was not a female voice, but a familiar middle-aged man's voice.
After his eyes gradually adapted to the light, he slowly opened his eyes, and finally regained his eyesight, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that above his head, it was Wang Sheng who looked at himself gloatingly with his waist crossed.
"Huh? Just now? ”
Wu Cun now feels relieved when he sees the boss, where can he take care that others are laughing at him? Just about to speak, I suddenly saw a white shadow flashing at the staircase from the first floor to the second floor in the distance, and now the lights are bright here, I am sure that it will not be light and shadow, anyone? However, the stairs were made of wood, and the speed was not slow, so it stands to reason that if you want to go upstairs, of course there will be sounds, but in this living room, Wu Cun can hear the ticking of the clock, there is no sound at all. I turned my eyes to look at Wang Sheng, but I didn't seem to notice anything, still smiling. Could it be a mistake? Wu Cun blinked his eyes vigorously and looked over there again, there was indeed nothing, could it be that the white shadow was an illusion caused by dizziness?
Rubbing the sore spot, Wu Cun, who had eased up a little, found that he was now lying on the ground with his feet facing the sky, lying on his back in a backward position, so he quickly turned over and stood up, and observed the surroundings a little.
This should be a corner of the large living room, before an ancient and exquisite floor-to-ceiling pendulum clock, a large mirror in the lower part of the pendulum clock reflects all the people and things in the entire living room except for Wu Cun.
"Is it fun?"
Seeing that Wu Cun had already stood up, Wang Sheng asked in a playful tone.
"It's weird."
Although some people are not used to seeing the boss always laugh at themselves like this, Wu Cun has no way to refute it, of course, there is still a little grievance, after all, this is the first time for him, he doesn't know what kind of situation he will encounter, and he will be tricked in a daze, who would have expected this?
At this time, the hall on the first floor was already brightly lit, which made Wu Cun feel a lot at ease, luxurious furniture, electrical appliances are readily available, this is the scene that a mansion should have, and nodded secretly enviously, which is like just now. Just now? Thinking of this, Wu Cun was stunned again, and then remembered what he wanted to say.
"I didn't seem to be here just now?"
Just now in the dark, empty sound, did not touch any objects, all kinds of signs show that he is indeed not in this house, but, now, there is no long-distance movement of himself, just suddenly pulled backwards, but fell directly into this living room, this, how to explain? However, one thing is certain, that is, if you can escape from that dark world, it must be the boss's doing.
"Whoa."
Wang Sheng didn't explain, but just pointed to the lower half of the pendulum clock in front of him.
"What do you mean?"
Wu Cun was puzzled, except for the mirror, following the direction of Wang Sheng's finger, he didn't see anything special.
However, Wang Sheng still did not answer directly, but half-squatted down, and continued to stretch forward the hand pointing to the mirror, until he touched the mirror, no, it just looked like touching, because, Wang Sheng's movements did not stop, but continued to stretch forward, in Wu Cun's stunned, I saw that his right hand was directly stretched into the mirror, and the place where the arm was in contact with the mirror was rippled like water waves, and the whole hand was directly submerged in it, but it really seemed to be stretched into the water.
"Magic ...... Magic? ”
Seeing this incredible scene with his own eyes, Wu Cun was about to stutter a little when he spoke. The only thing that can be thought of in my mind now is that this is definitely magic, Liu Qian also changed it in the Spring Festival Gala back then, but now the boss is playing this trick in front of his eyes, and there is no foreshadowing, as if it is easy to come by, and the ripples on the mirror surface can't be made by magic, right? I can't see any flaws at all, it's amazing, it's amazing!
"Spirit in the Mirror."
Of course, Wang Sheng didn't pay attention to Wu Cun's complicated eyes looking at him, slowly withdrew his hand, and finally said these three words with a smile as an explanation.
Thinking that all this is a magic trick, it's just a normal person's thoughts, the three words that the boss is saying now, people who don't believe in the supernatural may not understand or will laugh at Wang Sheng for believing in ghosts and gods, if he wants to change it, Wu Cun may not believe it, but at this time, looking at his suddenly realized expression, he can know that with these four words alone, he has already guessed a rough idea.
"I seem to have met that spirit in the mirror."
That's right, Wu Cun can be sure that the person who asked himself there just now was the so-called spirit in the mirror.
"Oh."
Wang Sheng replied lightly, he didn't seem surprised, although this bland performance was a bit unexpected by Wu Cun, but considering that the boss of the family is doing this business, what haven't you seen? Of course, I won't be as shocked as myself, and I will be relieved.
The simple conversation ended here, Wang Sheng didn't speak again after that, turned around and closed his eyes, it can be seen from his eyelids that his eyes are moving, Wu Cun didn't bother about this strange move, after all, he came with the boss, and the boss was strange, this move must have some meaning, so he silently began to sort out his thoughts behind the boss.
First of all, this villa is haunted, that is certain, I heard the young woman say that the ghost is a girl who originally lived here and went to high school. Then, the boss said that there is still a spirit in the mirror here? What is this? Could there be anything else? Ghosts are also popular parties? So, the flashing white shadow that I saw before thinking it was an illusion wasn't I mistaken? The unknown is always the most terrifying, thinking about it, Wu Cun couldn't help but have a chill in his back and looked around cautiously, carefully confirming whether there was danger. If Wang Sheng turned around and saw Wu Cun's appearance at this time, he couldn't help but laugh again, because Wu Cun was worried and scared at this time, and he completely forgot that he was a ghost.
"Let's go."
After a period of silence, Wang Sheng slowly opened his eyes, spit out a word, did not look back, walked straight to the escalator at the staircase, turned on the light, and went upstairs.
Wu Cun wondered, what do you say? What do you want to do? I came as Wang Sheng's assistant, but now, people don't know what they're doing, and they can't help if they want to, so they should explain their purpose clearly, right? When I first came in, I left Xiao You there to take care of me because the young woman outside was scared, that is, now the boss and myself are here, so the purpose of my visit is to visit?
Wu Cun, who was thinking like this, kept up with Wang Sheng's footsteps and was about to ask out loud.
"Boss, we ......"
However, Wu Cun was only halfway through his words, when suddenly the wide-eyed boss looked at the exit of the second floor of the stairs diagonally above the front, and his open mouth forgot to close - the white shadow appeared again. This time, because the white shadow stayed there for a short time inexplicably, it was clear that it was a human appearance, dressed in white sheets and other items, with long hair reaching to the waist, but, because it was a cape, it was impossible to see the face clearly, and it seemed to be a female ghost on a cursory observation.
At this moment, Wang Sheng naturally noticed it, and the moment the white shadow appeared, he had already rushed forward without saying a word. Wu Cun, who was frightened to a sluggish state, saw this, and also followed up, here, Wu Cun didn't dare to stay alone, only by following Wang Sheng could he feel safer.
"Huh?"
Wu Cun hesitated lightly, crossed a corner, and went up the stairs to the second floor, and the white shadow disappeared again, and it could not be said that it was gone, but because the second floor was pitch black, it was really impossible to see anything clearly, and even Wang Sheng was no longer there.
It was pitch black, and it was pitch black, Wu Cun, who was already nervous, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and suddenly remembered that there was a staircase behind him, and he was about to fall down if he retreated, so he hurriedly grabbed his body again, and his left hand touched behind him to hold the staircase handrail. However, with a half-arc swept past, there was nothing but air behind him? Wu Cun turned his head suspiciously, this glance at the past, my obedient! It's pitch black behind here, where are the corridors, where are the lights. Isn't this exactly the same as the strange place I just escaped? Unexpectedly, I was hit again. At this time, Wu Cun was really about to cry, and originally said that he could feel a little more at ease by the boss's side, but in just a corner, Wang Sheng disappeared in his field of vision, so in less than 1 second, he came to this mirror world inexplicably, so what mirror spirit knew that he was timid and deliberately wanted to scare himself? Please, don't play like this!
"Oh? This is the mirror world. ”
Suddenly, a calm self-talk sounded from the ears of Wu Cun, who was once again paralyzed on the ground and wanted to cry without tears, as soon as he heard this voice, Wu Cun immediately had his spirit as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, this is not someone else, this voice, but he can remember it clearly in this short time, because this is the voice of the boss. It's just, boss, will he be recruited? But listening to the tone, the boss is also a big girl on the sedan chair, the first time?
"Huh? Boss, it turns out that you haven't been here before? ”
Even the boss can't escape, and with him still around, Wu Cun is suddenly a lot more relaxed, and even feels like a regular customer ready to introduce the newcomer.
"Well, it's up to you to get in."
In this way, if it is connected to Wu Cun's tone, it seems that he is indeed complimenting. Actually, although Wang Sheng is telling the truth, but it also has to take into account the current situation, what is this place? Is it a good place?
It's certainly not a good place, it's a world in the mirror, and it's the mirror against the world. Although he said that he had never been here, Wang Sheng took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket as if he had been prepared, turned on the flashlight function, and suddenly a bright white light shot out, and the surrounding scenery was unobstructed.
This made Wu Cun dumbfounded and annoyed, of course he didn't bring his mobile phone, not only his mobile phone, but also other things were not prepared, he came empty-handed, who knew that there would be these accidents? However, before coming, the boss didn't say anything to prepare. Thinking about it this way, it can be regarded as finding a step for myself to go down, and I feel a lot more at ease.
After such a photo of the mobile phone flashlight, Wu Cun finally saw the situation here.
It is said that it illuminates the surroundings, in fact, now it seems that it doesn't matter whether it is bright or not, because, within the field of vision, this place is completely empty, nothing, the first time I was hit, I still clearly remember that there was a wall, but now, the terrain here is as flat as a mirror, in addition to the distant horizon, where are there other raised places?
Just, nothing? This is impossible, I obviously heard the voice before, a girl's voice, there must be a ghost here.
"Hey, boss, did you find anything?"
Wu Cun asked in a low voice, the light source was in Wang Sheng's hand, and he observed more nature than himself.
"Well, I did."
There was no accident, Wang Sheng replied affirmatively, turned around, and followed, and the light also shot directly at Wu Cun, this time, Wu Cun's eyes were a little unbearable, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to dodge.
"What are you doing? Take it away. ”
"Didn't you ask me what I found? She's right behind you. ”
