Chapter 4: Strange in the Mirror
After dinner, I sent Kong Xue back to the room, "Have a good rest, let's talk tomorrow if you have something, remember to lock the door!" ”
Kong Xue nodded, "Okay, got it!" ”
I was about to turn around and leave, but Kong Xue suddenly said, "Hey! Exceptional! ”
"What's wrong?" I asked.
Kong Xue smiled slightly, "It's okay, be careful on the road!" ”
I waved her back and left the hotel.
The next morning, I came to the door of Kong Xue's room again, and I didn't know if she was still resting, so I put my ear to the door and listened, but there was no movement in the room.
I knocked softly on the door, but no one answered. I put a hard hand on my hand, and after a few more moments, there was still no response in the room.
At this time, I couldn't help but worry, and slammed the door hard, "Kong Xue! Kong Xue! You're not there! But Kong Xue didn't respond at all, could it be that she had already left? It can't be, at least she should tell me.
The sound of me banging on the door alarmed the waiter on the floor, and after her confirmation, Kong Xue did not leave. Now I thought something must be wrong, I asked the waiter to open the door, rushed in to see, there was no one in the room, but Kong Xue's luggage was still there.
Suddenly, I heard a faint sound of water coming from the bathroom, could it be that she was taking a shower? I reached out and knocked on the door, but no one answered. So I motioned for the waitress to come in and take a look, but the waitress had just opened the door and peeked in, when he suddenly screamed.
I hurriedly pushed open the door and took a look, only to see Kong Xue lying on the ground, her hands covered in blood, and the bathroom mirror was shattered. I turned to the attendant and yelled, "Call an ambulance!" ”
I stepped forward to pick up Kong Xue and tried her snort, and found that she was only unconscious, which made me feel at ease a little. I called Kong Xue's name, and it took a long time for Kong Xue to open her eyes slightly, she looked at me, and then said softly: "Zhuoran, you are here...... I ......" Kong Xue didn't finish speaking, and fainted again.
In the hospital, the doctor bandaged Kong Xue's hand, because the wound on her hand was relatively large, the doctor hoped that Kong Xue could stay in the hospital for observation for one night, but Kong Xue said nothing.
I had no choice but to send her back to the hotel again, I settled Kong Xue on the bed and lay down, and I was about to get up and pour her a glass of water. Who knows, Kong Xue suddenly grabbed me, "Zhuo Ran, don't go!" I saw Kong Xue's panicked and helpless expression on her face, and I was suddenly a little surprised, as if Kong Xue was afraid of something!
I smiled and patted her hand: "Don't worry, I'm not leaving, I'm here with you, I'm just going to pour you a glass of water." ”
When Kong Xue heard me say this, she nodded in relief, and suddenly realized her gaffe, and quickly let go of the hand that was holding me with a blushing face.
Kong Xue took the water cup, hesitated, and said to me, "Zhuo Ran, can you please do me a favor?" ”
I nodded, "What's the rush?" Say it! ”
Kong Xue pursed her lips, as if she was making up her mind, and then said to me, "Zhuo Ran, please help me cover all the mirrors in the room." ”
Hearing Kong Xue's words, I was stunned, I really couldn't understand Kong Xue's request, but seeing her state, I felt that she must have a very special reason.
So I nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!" With that, I got up and covered up all the reflective areas with towels, sheets, etc. The hotel is really efficient, the bathroom mirror has been replaced with a new one, but it is still covered by me with a bath towel.
I sat down on the edge of the bed again and said to Kong Xue, "Okay, it's all covered." ”
Kong Xue nodded a little blankly, then sat at the head of the bed with her legs crossed, burying her head deep in her knees.
Kong Xue's state made me frown, it seems that she is really afraid of something, could it be that something happened during the period between Uncle Kong's return from Qilian Mountain and his death?
I didn't think this was the way to go, so I said softly to Kong Xue: "Kong Xue, I know you have something in your heart, but I think you can't solve it alone, if you trust me, you can tell me, okay?" ”
Kong Xue didn't raise her head when she heard my words, but I could see that her body was visibly shaking. I quickly sat down next to her and grabbed her shoulder, "Kong Xue, you don't have to be afraid, you are safe here, don't worry." ”
Hearing my words, Kong Xue slowly raised her head, and at this time her face was already full of tears.
Kong Xue looked at me, and I saw that in her eyes, there was a lot of fear and despair.
At this time, Kong Xue suddenly threw herself into my arms and cried out.
Kong Xue's cry was heartbreaking, I think she must have been under too much pressure, and she was venting the suppressed emotions in her chest at this time. I didn't make a sound, I just hugged her like this and let her release as much as she wanted.
After a long while, Kong Xue's crying gradually became smaller, and she slowly sat up straight again, rubbing her eyes that were already red from crying.
My arms were empty, and I was a little disappointed. I got up and helped Kong Xue get a towel, "Kong Xue, can you tell me what's going on?" ”
Kong Xue took the towel and wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, looked straight at me, and said with some eagerness: "Zhuo Ran, I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you, but this matter, I don't know how to tell you, maybe you won't believe it, because this matter is ......" Probably because of excitement, Kong Xue said a little incoherently, "My words, everyone doesn't believe me, they also say I'm crazy, they want to send me to the hospital, if it weren't for Brother Tao, I might have been locked up by them!" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand at her, signaling Kong Xue to calm down, "Kong Xue, we have experienced so many strange things together, what else do I not believe, just tell me about it, maybe I can help you." And here you are absolutely safe. ”
"Okay," Kong Xue nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Here's how it ......"
It all started after we brought Uncle Kong back from the ruins of Qilian Mountain. Soon after Uncle Kong returned home, he went to the hospital because of a sudden illness, but there was no problem with the examination, and my second uncle and I also knew about it. Later, after a period of time in the hospital, I will come to my home.
At the beginning, there was nothing, in Kong Xue's words, it was like the days were back to before. But it didn't take long for Kong Xue to find out that something was wrong with her father. Uncle Kong began to become a little nervous, suffering from gains and losses, irritable and irritable, extremely emotionally unstable, and often locked himself in his room for a whole day without coming out.
Kong Xue also once talked to Uncle Kong and asked him if something was wrong. And every time Uncle Kong said that he was fine, it was inferred that he was too tired during this time and his body was not very comfortable.
And Kong Xue didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning, but felt that his father really needed a period of time to adjust and recover. But Kong Xue didn't expect that Uncle Kong's situation became more and more serious, and then it almost reached the point of staying at home, his room was closed with curtains all day long, and every day's meals were delivered to the door by the guys.
Although Kong Xue was able to see Uncle Kong a few times occasionally, she found that Uncle Kong's mental state was getting worse day by day, and it seemed to be declining sharply.
Once Kong Xue passed by Uncle Kong's room and found that the curtains were not drawn properly, revealing a little gap. Kong Xue was actually very curious about what her father was doing alone in the house all day.
Kong Xue carefully grabbed the windowsill and leaned into the room hard. It was strange to find that Uncle Kong was standing alone in front of the mirror and was stunned. There was no movement, no sound, just standing in front of the mirror.
Kong Xue was very surprised, she didn't know what her father was doing, and after Uncle Kong moved his body stiffly, Kong Xue suddenly saw the scene in the mirror, and just by looking at it, Kong Xue felt that she was instantly cold, and a strong sense of suffocation came to her face. Kong Xue fell to the ground all of a sudden, covering her mouth with her hands desperately to keep herself from screaming.
She really couldn't understand what she was seeing, because she actually saw that the image that Uncle Kong reflected in the mirror had no head!
Kong Xue sat on the ground, she felt her body trembling, and her whole brain was blank, what the hell was going on? Could it be that I was wrong, no, it won't! Kong Xue firmly believes that she is absolutely not wrong!
If this matter had been placed in the past, Kong Xue must have thought that there was a problem with his eyes again, and he couldn't see this person's head in the mirror, which was simply a fantasy! It's ridiculous!
But after going through the process of the ruins of Qilian Mountain, some concepts in Kong Xue's mind have also undergone some subtle changes. She felt that this incident might have something to do with her father's trip to Qilian Mountain, because the incident at that time was so abnormal that many mysteries have not been solved now.
At night, Kong Xue lay on her bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and her mind kept flashing the terrifying scene she had seen during the day.
After thinking about it for a long time, Kong Xue decided to talk openly and honestly with her father, after all, this time she had discovered her father's secret, and hoped that her father could tell her what happened.
Having made up her mind, Kong Xue turned over and got out of bed, quietly came to Uncle Kong's room, knocked on the door gently, and there was no sound in the room.
So Kong Xue stretched out her hand to open the door, turned around and walked in. There seemed to be no one in Uncle Kong's room.
Kong Xue called her father softly while thinking about walking to the depths of the room. But no one answered,
When passing by the mirror in the room, Kong Xue subconsciously turned her head away, not daring to look inside the mirror. The scene during the day left such a deep impression on her that she still makes her heart beat when she thinks about it. Perhaps her phobia of mirrors began at that time.
