Chapter 44: The Man in the Mirror
Chapter 44: The Man in the Mirror
——————————————————————————————————————
I remember when I was a child, I once heard my father say something like this - the most terrible thing is not the unknown, but the things you once knew suddenly become strange.
I think that there are only a very few people in this world who may have the same experience as me, and suddenly find that the face in the mirror is not my own. I've never seen anything like this, and I can't hold my breath anymore at this moment, and the whole person can't help but scream "wow", and take three steps and two steps back, but one of them is not paying attention, and the whole person falls to the ground. And in the bronze mirror, the faceless female figure on my back also slowly disappeared like a wisp of green smoke.
Ryazan and the others were also shocked when they saw my reaction, especially Duan Yuwen, who was very timid, and was so frightened by my call that he even cried when he spoke, and asked, "Peixi, what's wrong with you, you?" ”
At that time, where was I willing to take care of anything faceless, the whole person was also panicked, and my brain couldn't react accordingly to what Duan Yuwen said, I just sat on the ground and retreated back again and again, but after a few steps back, I suddenly found that there was the same bronze mirror behind me, and the walls of the space around me were all bronze mirrors!
So, I retreated to the middle of the corridor, pointed to the bronze mirror and spit out the cat's eye in my mouth, and shouted loudly, "Who is it?" Who is it? ”
Duan Yuwen and Teng Yi naturally didn't know what I was talking about, but I believe that Ryazan, who had been walking beside me, and Long Bujin, who was quite mysterious, should understand what I was saying.
Sure enough, after seeing my reaction, Ryazan walked to the bronze mirror, looked at the bronze mirror twice, and immediately, he also showed a hint of surprise, but his reaction was much more rational than mine, he just suddenly clenched the simple spear, his eyes were fixed on the bronze mirror, and he said to everyone without looking back: "All stand back, there is someone behind this bronze mirror." ”
As soon as I heard this, I felt another sigh in my heart, and when I looked at Duan Yuwen again, he was even more nervous and looked around, as if he was afraid that something around him would suddenly burst out.
At this time, Ryazan came to my side and helped me up. I squinted at him and saw that this guy was still smiling, didn't he feel scared and nervous at all? This guy, is he still not human at all?
I heard Ryazan pat me on the back, and then said to me, "Lord Peixi, look at you scared." ”
I glared and said, "What's wrong with being scared?" Fear is one of the human instincts. Do you know what I saw in the mirror just now? ”
I thought that Ryazan would choke on my words, but unexpectedly, he replied without thinking: "Of course I know the truth, isn't it the face of a strange woman." ”
I was shocked and asked, "How do you know the way?" ”
"You come with me." As I spoke, I was very reluctant to be brought back to the bronze mirror by Ryazan, Teng Yi was very curious, and followed, Bu Jin didn't know when he was already standing in front of the bronze mirror. As for Duan Yuwen, he stood aside, shaking his head desperately, refusing to step forward for anything.
I came to the bronze mirror, and Ryazan pointed to the bronze mirror and said to me, "Look. ”
When I look at the bronze mirror again, it feels like watching a horror movie in a movie theater, you know that you will see something very scary, but there is still a strong curiosity that drives you to look at the bronze mirror.
Curiosity killed the cat. At the moment, all I'm thinking about is that hopefully my curiosity won't lead me to death.
Sure enough, when I saw the bronze mirror again, it was still a strange woman in front of me, perhaps because I was already mentally prepared, so I didn't feel very scared this time. On the other hand, the woman in the bronze mirror was not as terrifying as the faceless woman on my back before, on the contrary, her appearance was quiet and indifferent, her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.
However, this relaxed mood of mine was quickly replaced by a sense of fear that came with it. Because, gradually, I realized that the woman in the bronze mirror was not my reflection, but another person, another person in the bronze mirror.
No! As I approached the bronze mirror, my cold sweat began to flow uncontrollably down my neck, and inside the bronze mirror, there was not only one person, but a row of people!
"Fuck me!" I stepped back again, "What the fuck is this?" ”
"Isn't that obvious?" Teng Yi snorted and said, "In this bronze mirror, there are people, and besides, they are dead people. ”
"Yo, you've finally got the hang of it." Ryazan said in a somewhat sarcastic tone.
Teng Yi glanced at Ryazan, probably a little angry in his heart, it stands to reason that his skills are definitely at the top level, but standing in front of him is Ryazan, a person who is better than him, so he has to swallow his anger.
I didn't have time to pay attention to the conversation between the two of them, I looked around, and I only felt more and more terrifying, because I hadn't paid attention before, so I didn't notice the problem. The whole corridor is paved with bronze mirrors, which seem to have undergone some special treatment, so that these bronze metals show a translucent appearance, and you can see your own reflection from a distance, as if looking in a mirror, but if you look closely, you can see the things inside this bronze mirror. This is like the window of some private cars in our lives, which can also be said that the wall on this wall cannot be called a bronze mirror, it is just a layer of specially treated bronze thin wall.
At this moment, I found that in the entire corridor, the bronze mirrors on the top, bottom, left and right were all neatly filled with rows of corpses. Without exception, these corpses were all women, dressed in white casings, with long black hair neatly combed back, and all of them had serene faces and calm expressions. Even so, there is a ghostly feel to these things no matter how you look at them.
I wanted to stay away from the corpses, but it was futile to find that we were also a bronze mirror under our feet, and the corpses were also visited in the territory.
"Is this an underground passage or is it just an underground tomb?" I asked.
"I don't think it's an ancient tomb, if it's an ancient tomb, this kind of burial method, I really haven't seen it." Ryazan said, "You can go and ask the old man, he is a special ......"
Ryazan's words were generally stuck, and I looked at him with doubts, and then, I was also shocked.
I saw that Duan Yuwen's eyes were dull, his head drooped, like an old cow being led away, walking slowly towards the bronze mirror step by step, how awkward it looked.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked, faintly feeling a strong sense of unease.
"Quickly put on the cat's eye." Ryazan suddenly said loudly to me.
I didn't dare to delay after hearing this, and hurriedly followed what he said, and put the cat's eye that I had spit out before in my mouth again, and after that, I went to look at the Yuwen again, and I couldn't help but be surprised.
Suddenly, I saw a faceless woman standing in front of Duan Yuwen's old man, exactly the same as the woman I saw in the bronze mirror just now, only a scarlet mouth, and no other facial features.
I saw the woman standing in front of Duan Yuwen, with two hands around Duan Yuwen's neck, (which is why Duan Yuwen kept hanging his head) was dragging Duan Yuwen towards the bronze mirror little by little.
"What do you see?" Ryazan asked.
I anxiously pointed at Duan Yuwen and said, "There's a woman pulling him." ”
I heard Ryazan scolding in a low voice, and I didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about, I saw him look at Duan Yuwen with an anxious expression, and I was a little surprised in my heart. In my heart, Ryazan is definitely a very powerful character, at this moment, when Lu sees this situation, he will definitely be able to find a solution, but the actual situation is that he is at a loss for anything, and he actually turned his eyes to Bu Jin for help.
Bu Jin understood, and also glanced at Ryazan, neither of them spoke, but Bu Jin shook his head, as if he had read what he wanted to express from Ryazan's eyes.
Seeing this, I secretly said to myself: What the hell is going on, do these two people really know each other?
Just as I was hesitating, I saw that Duan Yuwen's face was almost attached to the bronze mirror at the moment, and in my eyes, the faceless woman was pinching Duan Yuwen's neck at the moment and pasting his face on the bronze mirror, as if forcing Duan Yuwen to kiss the female corpse in the bronze mirror.
Suddenly, I heard Ryazan whisper, "It's over." ”
At this time, that paragraph of Yuwen's mouth had already touched the bronze mirror.
Suddenly, one of the female corpses in the bronze mirror opened her eyes suddenly. Seeing this, I screamed "Wow" and shouted, "Damn, what is this, Sleeping Beauty?" ”
Unexpectedly, I ignored the fact that I was still shouting a cat's eye in my mouth, and the excitement caused the cat's eye to slide down my throat and into my stomach. I felt so sick that I immediately knelt on the ground and stretched out my fingers to my throat to spit out the cat's eye.
However, when I lowered my head, I suddenly found that the female corpses in the bronze mirror on the ground suddenly opened their eyes one by one. I felt a chill in my heart, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, those female corpses, they seemed to be moving in the bronze mirror.
Although they were all eerie, they had a very wonderful magic, and my eyes seemed to be firmly attracted to them.
Suddenly, the female corpse in front of me grinned at the corners of her mouth, revealing a very strange expression. Are you laughing?
Wrong! I soon noticed that something was wrong, and I saw that the corners of the woman's mouth were getting bigger and bigger, and after a while, the corners of her mouth were already grinning to the side of her ears.
"Oh my God, what's going on? Zombie? Teng Yi pulled out the long knife at his waist, although he didn't have too much fear, but in his expression, I could still clearly feel his nervousness.
Teng Yi's call pulled me back to reality, I raised my eyes to look at Duan Yuwen, and found that his whole person was attached to the bronze mirror, and in the bronze mirror, two white arms slowly stretched out, hugging Duan Yuwen's neck, as for the faceless female ghost who was pulling him just now, but I don't know when it has disappeared.
Gradually, bursts of sharp laughter began to echo in the corridor, which made people tremble when they heard it, and the female corpses in the bronze mirrors up and down, left and right, actually stretched out their arms, and strangely, the bronze mirrors were not broken.
For a while, the strange laughter of the whole corridor came like a wave one after another, and the arms around him were like algae in the ocean, floating weakly in the air, as if they wanted to grab something.
My scalp was numb, and when I looked down, I saw that one of my feet had been grabbed by a hand sticking out of the bronze mirror underground.
I glanced up at Ryazan, and saw him rush in front of me, pull out a long knife in his left hand, and with a strong wave, the hand was cut in two, and a thick black liquid sprayed out of the wound.
"These things are going to come out, you run!" Ryazan shouted at me.
