Chapter 240: The Magic Mirror Awakened by Resentment
Yan Ruyu only took all the savings and the mirror, and left the small city and came to Rongcheng to treat her burns.
However, under the medical conditions at that time, Yan Ruyu's burns were almost terminal. Now, she would have had the option of skin grafting, she could have opted for laser treatment, but at the time, there was no other way than to give her medicine.
Not only that, but she spent almost all her savings in order to heal her illness.
Now Yan Ruyu, who has neither face nor money, is alone in the strange city of Rongcheng, and has seen all the indifference in the world.
Because the money was almost spent, she had to move out of the large rented apartment and live in a small tent built out of a bungalow.
The winter in Banyan City is gloomy and cold, the small tents are not well built, there are gaps everywhere, and the cold wind swells like a wild beast, pouring in through the cracks, and running rampant in this small house.
However, Yan Ruyu didn't care about the coldness on her body at all, because her heart was even colder!
In this humble house, the only thing that made Yan Ruyu feel relieved was the mirror she brought from her hometown.
Yan Ruyu gathered the somewhat shrunken cotton clothes on her body, walked to the mirror, and stretched out her hand to caress the smooth mirror.
"It would be nice if you were a magic mirror..."Yan Ruyu muttered to herself.
Just when Yan Ruyu was standing in front of the mirror in a daze, a white light suddenly flashed.
"Ahh
When she opened her eyes again, she noticed that she seemed to be a little different in the mirror.
"Huh?" she touched the blackened and festering left side of her face, feeling that the scars seemed to fade a lot, and her whole body became much more energetic and younger.
"Is my face okay?" Yan Ruyu was a little incredulous, and hurriedly took out the small mirror in her bag to look at it.
"It turned out to be dazzling..."Seeing the still miserable face in the small mirror, Yan Ruyu smiled self-deprecatingly.
Then, she stood in front of the dressing mirror again, only to find that she was still refreshed in the mirror, and the scar had faded a lot.
"What's going on?" she picked up the small mirror and looked at it, then at the dressing mirror.
It was found that the full-length mirror can make people look more beautiful.
"Could it be... Are you really a magic mirror?" Yan Ruyu said in surprise.
Because of the discovery of this secret, every time Yan Ruyu returned disappointed from the hospital, she would stand in front of the dressing mirror, tell her distress and grievances, and appreciate the self in the mirror who was more beautiful than in reality.
Seeing that the treatment seems to have no effect, the money is almost spent, and if it continues, it may not even be able to live in this small tent.
Yan Ruyu only then felt real helplessness and despair.
"Magic mirror, what should I do? If this continues, I'm afraid even you will lose it!" Yan Ruyu stood in front of the mirror again, stroking the smooth mirror surface while complaining about her sorrow.
"I'll help you!" Suddenly, an old voice came out of the mirror.
"Who?" Yan Ruyu looked around, but didn't notice that there were other people in the room.
"I!" said the old voice again, and then a flash of white light illuminated the dimly lit room.
"Ahh
"Open your eyes and see. The old voice said.
Yan Ruyu slowly opened her eyes and looked at the mirror cautiously.
"This is?" Yan Ruyu found that she in the mirror had actually returned to her original state, not only that, but she was more beautiful and younger than her original self.
"Fake!" said the old voice, then
, Yan Ruyu in the mirror has changed into her current appearance again, still scarred and ugly.
"Who are you?" Yan Ruyu realized that the voice talking to herself came from the mirror, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, and even prepared to rush out of the door.
"Don't be afraid, I am the Magic Mirror, the Magic Mirror awakened by your resentment. The old voice said.
This dressing mirror, which originally had aura, was completely revived under the call of Yan Ruyu's resentment.
Since then, Yan Ruyu has reached an agreement with the magic mirror.
Yan Ruyu brought people to look in the mirror, so that the magic mirror could absorb the other party's yang energy, and even the spirit, and the magic mirror used her own spells to help Yan Ruyu return to her original state, and used the yang energy she absorbed to transmit it to Yan Ruyu to help her freeze her age.
Therefore, Yan Ruyu, who is 61 years old this year, looks only about 40 years old.
After that, Yan Ruyu did not go to the hospital for treatment, but went out to look for a job.
Because of her ugly and terrifying appearance, many people did not dare to hire her, and after several twists and turns, in the end, it was the owner of an individual clothing store out of pity that Yan Ruyu was allowed to help him do things.
However, it was also because of her kind act that she lost her life.
Yan Ruyu didn't know what the magic mirror meant by sucking yang energy and spirit, thinking that as long as people stood in front of the magic mirror and took two photos.
"Xiao Yan, I really like this mirror!" the boss looked at himself in the mirror and said with a smile.
"If you like it, it's fine. Yan Ruyu smiled and stood in a corner that the mirror couldn't see.
The boss has to stand in front of the magic mirror several times a day, and gradually, she seems to be addicted to drugs, and she can't wait to sleep in front of the magic mirror.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, the boss clutched his chest in pain and slowly crouched down.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Yan Ruyu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the boss up.
"Heart.. Heartache!" the boss said, clutching his chest.
"Then I'll take you to the hospital!" Yan Ruyu said nervously.
"What hospital are you going to? It's too much trouble, I'll just get some sleep. The boss smiled reluctantly.
Afterwards, Yan Ruyu sent the boss back to the bedroom behind the clothing store to rest.
It's just that the boss fell asleep this time and never woke up.
The police said that the boss died because of a heart attack, which made Yan Ruyu have a trace of doubts, because, although the boss is in his early forties, he is in good health, not to mention heart disease, not even gynecological diseases.
With such doubts, Yan Ruyu left there and started her own business, from setting up a stall to opening a small shop, step by step, from a small self-employed person to the current owner of a clothing custom store.
However, she would never stay in one place for more than half a year, because she had finally discovered the secret of the magic mirror.
The Magic Mirror wants to eat people!
After the death of the clothing store owner, the customers around Yan Ruyu all died of heart attacks one after another, and before they died, they all liked to look in the mirror.
Yan Ruyu found that before they had a heart attack, they had more or less inexplicable heart palpitations, not only that, although they looked young and beautiful in the mirror, they were aging at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Did you do it?" After the two regular customers around her died one after another, Yan Ruyu finally stood in front of the magic mirror and asked the doubts buried deep in her heart.
"Hehehe... If I don't suck their spirits to increase my spiritual power, what can I rely on to change your face?" said the old voice with a smile, seemingly indifferent to the mutilation of human life.
"You.. No, you can't hurt people!" Yan Ruyu said.
"Heh!
Ten steps and a hundred steps of laughter, you watched your husband and mother-in-law, and that little lover being burned to death, at that time, why didn't you think that you could not harm others?" the old voice mocked.
"If I turn around and save them, maybe I'll be burned to death!" Yan Ruyu yelled.
In fact, when she dreams back in the middle of the night, she still often dreams about the scene at that time, and she also thinks that if she turned around to save them at that time, would it bring them a glimmer of life?
It was so dangerous at the time, if I had saved someone, I might have died in the fire.
So, she did nothing wrong!
"Seeing death and not saving you is also a disguised disregard for human life! So, there is not much difference between what you are doing and what I am doing now!" said the old voice.
"There is a difference!" Yan Ruyu slapped her palm on the mirror, with anger and panic.
"Okay, let me transmit Yang Qi to you, I already have enough Yang Qi to transmit to you. The old voice continued.
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu wiped her tears and stood up straight in disbelief.
"Huh!"
A white light flashed, stabbing Yan Ruyu to close her eyes tightly.
I saw that a ray of white light came out of the mirror and drilled into Yan Ruyu's nostrils.
"Hmm..." Yan Ruyu felt that something had entered her nose, but it was not uncomfortable, but it was fresh and comfortable, like breathing the air full of negative oxygen ions in the morning.
She opened her eyes to see what it was, but she found that it was white and dizzy.
Immediately, she closed her eyes again.
"Open your eyes. Just when Yan Ruyu was about to fall asleep, the old man's voice suddenly came out.
Yan Ruyu slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
"I... I seem to have become younger, is it still an illusion?" Yan Ruyu touched her face and asked.
"Really, I didn't give you any illusions, what you see is true. The old voice said, with a tired voice, not as sonorous as before.
Yan Ruyu took a closer look, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were gone, the forehead lines and nasolabial folds had faded a lot, and even the color of the scar on her left cheek had faded a lot, from pitch black to blue-black.
"What's going on?" Yan Ruyu touched the left side of her face and asked.
She noticed that the scar felt flatter to the touch, not as pitted as before.
"Yang Qi .. I have passed on some of the yang energy that I have absorbed over the past year to you. The old voice said, but it sounded weaker and weaker.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Ruyu also noticed its strangeness.
"If I pass on the yang energy to you, I will naturally consume some of the spirit and spiritual power, so I need to keep inhaling the yang energy and spirit energy. When I have enough spiritual power, I can use spells to smooth the scars on your face. The old voice said.
Since then, Yan Ruyu has acquiesced to the magic mirror's behavior of sucking other people's yang energy and spirits, and changed her name to "Yan Ruyu".
However, Yan Ruyu still has her own bottom line, as long as she doesn't hurt her life, she can toss the magic mirror casually.
As the magic mirror absorbed more and more yang energy and essence, its spiritual power and mana also became stronger and stronger, and while absorbing the other party's yang energy and essence, it also transferred the scar on Yan Ruyu's face to the other party's face.
Therefore, all those who have been illuminated by the magic mirror are also disfigured while losing their yang energy and spirit.
Before opening "Yan" to the south gate of the Normal University, the magic mirror had ruined the faces of several girls, and at the same time, it gradually faded the scars on Yan Ruyu's face, turning from black to red.
While the scars faded, Yan Ruyu was getting younger and younger......
