His eyes were red and swollen, and Chen Ge stood in front of the mirror holding the puppet.

"It's twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. ”

There was no light on in the bathroom, and Chen Ge stared at himself in the mirror.

He was afraid of missing something, his eyes did not blink, his palms pressed against the sink, and his face was very close to the mirror.

Engrossed, all attention was focused on the mirror, and when there were about a few seconds left before twelve o'clock in the night, the mobile phone in Chen Ge's pocket suddenly vibrate.

"Who's going to call me at this time?"

The sudden change startled Chen Ge, he took out his mobile phone, and the caller ID had Team Li's name written on it.

"Did something happen?" Chen Ge answered the phone and put it in his ear: "Uncle Sanbao, do you have something to do with me?"

"Zhang Peng has not yet been arrested, and we have further narrowed down the scope of investigation, and we can confirm that he is hiding in the western suburbs of Jiujiang! You have to be careful! This criminal suspect is extremely cunning and dangerous, and his behavior is different from that of a normal person, so we cannot rule out the possibility that he will go back to you!" On the other side of the phone, Team Li's voice was serious and urgent.

"Wasn't there layers of controls outside the New Century Park last night? His arms were injured, so he shouldn't have been able to run far?" In Chen Ge's view, it was only a matter of time before Zhang Peng was arrested.

"The situation has changed, it's not good to explain it to you in detail for the time being, I will reveal one point, last night there was a police officer who seemed to see something after successfully intercepting the suspect of a crime, and now he is in a deep coma and is being rescued in the hospital. ”

"What?!" Chen Ge's face changed, and he was about to speak, when he inadvertently saw the mirror on the wall again.

On the smooth mirror, at some point, a blood-red Arabic numeral appeared - "1".

"But you don't have to worry, the scope of the search is constantly shrinking, and if evil does not prevail over good, he will definitely be punished by the law!"

Team Li was still talking about something, but Chen Ge had no intention of listening, he put his phone aside and looked at the mirror in a daze.

"When did it appear?The monster in the mirror has left, how can the number still appear on the mirror?!" Chen Ge recalled the scene last night, half of the monster's body in the mirror was in the mirror, and half of its body was outside the mirror, and then Zhang Peng took the initiative to stick to the mirror and fuse with it.

"What does this number mean? Yesterday it was '2', and today it became '1', will it be cleared after twelve o'clock tomorrow?" The gradually decreasing number made Chen Ge's eyes solemn: "After Zhang Peng was put on by the monster in the mirror, the number changed for the first time, just now Team Li said that a police officer fell into a coma, and after the second victim appeared, the number decreased again. Could that number have anything to do with the victims? The monster in the mirror needs three living people?"

Regardless of whether this number represents time or human life, Chen Ge is not ready to wait any longer, he has a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"The monster in the mirror is growing, and tomorrow night may be my last chance. Chen Ge took out a rag and wiped the numbers off the mirror, he couldn't care so much anymore.

After a few simple words to Team Li, he hung up the phone and entered the tool room with his black mobile phone.

"It's past midnight, and it's time for new daily quests to be refreshed, and there are two tasks that can help me now, one is the friendship quest of the red-clothed ghost, and the other is the new nightmare-level daily quest today. ”

Turning on the black phone, Chen Ge clicked on the daily task column.

"Easy difficulty: A terrifying experience should not cause a traumatic psychological shadow to the experiencer, I think you should understand the truth of overreach, please improve the safety system of the haunted house, and check the safety hazards in the haunted house. ”

"Normal difficulty: You have already obtained a chance to expand the haunted house, please find a suitable venue for expansion as soon as possible! Due to space limitations, you will not be able to perform any trial missions until the expansion is completed!"

"Nightmare difficulty: There's another person living in your room all the time, don't you want to know who he is?"

"Attention! Individual missions are extremely dangerous, so choose carefully!"

After Chen Ge finished reading the three tasks, his eyes wandered on the third nightmare task: "There is another person living in the room? ”

Chen Ge was well aware of the danger of the nightmare mission, and he didn't choose to accept it after struggling for a long time, but flipped his phone again and opened the exclusive page of the red-clothed ghost.

"Do you accept Zhang Ya's favorability quest! Attention! This quest is dangerous!"

The mobile phone intimately gave Chen Ge a warning reminder, and he rubbed his temples, a little undecided.

"Both of these tasks are very dangerous, but the rewards for the daily tasks of the nightmare difficulty are random, and it is very likely that I will be given another auxiliary ability; ”

After analyzing for a long time, Chen Ge gritted his teeth and clicked on Zhang Ya's favorability task.

"Are you sure to accept Zhang Ya's favorability mission?"

"Sure!"

The blood-red interface began to churn, like a withering rose, and new handwriting soon appeared on the phone screen.

"Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales Volume 1, Collection 3 - Red Dancing Shoes: There is a pair of very beautiful and attractive red dancing shoes, and girls wear them on their feet, and they will feel lighter and more energetic when they dance. But the girls only thought about it, and no one dared to dance with it on their feet. Because it's a pair of magical shoes that once you put them on and dance, they will dance endlessly until you exhaust all your energy from the dancer......"

"Please arrive at Xicheng Private School within one hour of accepting the mission, and find Zhang Ya's red dancing shoes before dawn. ”

"Note: Don't be late for your first date, or she'll be unhappy. ”

After reading the task prompt on the mobile phone, Chen Ge had a strange expression, Xicheng Private School had been abandoned a few years ago, the specific reason is unknown, it is said that something terrible happened that had to be closed.

"The first time I dated a girl, it was in an abandoned school after 12 a.m., did I go wrong with my love story?"

The task requires arriving at Xicheng Private School within an hour, Chen Ge calculated the time, and it was quite sufficient: "The old site of Xicheng Private School is in the western suburbs, which is not far from me, the key is that it is past twelve o'clock in the morning...... Forget it, I'd better go take a shower first, anyway, this is my first time. ”

After a quick shower, Chen Ge changed into clean clothes and stood in front of the mirror again: "There are still fifty minutes left, why did you suddenly start to feel a little nervous." ”
