Chapter 3, The Mirror, Nightmares, and Evil Gods

When Helen woke up, it was late at night.

His family came to the tavern to find him, took him home, and washed him so that he could sleep peacefully in bed, rather than on the tavern table, though perhaps he preferred the latter for himself.

So, Helen fell asleep and began to have nightmares.

The nightmare was similar to the last time, when the family had lunch and the ruins in the dark were reflected in the mirror.

I don't know if it's because she slept well during the day, or if the alcohol on her body hasn't gone away, this time Helen is much calmer than when she had nightmares before. Not only did he not wake up directly from being frightened, but he was even able to muster up the courage to stand up, point to the mirror and ask, "Do you see the scenery in the mirror?"

The family looked in the mirror, and then shook their heads.

"It's normal in the mirror. ”

"Is there anything special?"

"If it's okay, let's eat first, and then talk slowly after eating. ”

Seeing that his family was so calm, Helen was more at ease, he pondered for a while, and felt that this was indeed the truth, so he also ate with confidence.

However, while eating, things are not right.

No matter how much he ate, the food did not decrease in the slightest, but his own stomach became fuller and fuller, and he even felt a little overwhelmed later.

And the rest of the family ate the same as him, even faster than him. Gradually, Helen herself could no longer eat and put down the dishes, but her family was still eating, and she kept eating.

Helen watched them dumbfounded, and watched as their faces gradually became round as they ate, and their bodies bulged as if they were blowing. After a while, they were all as fat as pregnant women, and after a while, the flesh on their chins even drooped down and looked like they were going to hang down on the table.

Helen was completely in her seat, unable to speak.

The family is still eating, and they are eating faster and faster. The food on the table is still not decreasing, and their appearance is getting fatter and fatter, gradually developing towards a ball shape, and after a while, they are really fat into big balls of meat, but their stubby hands are still sending food into their mouths.

The scene was unimaginable, and Helen's previous courage finally dissipated completely, leaving only a heart full of trepidation.

His consciousness suddenly cleared up a little, and he realized again that he was having another nightmare.

Perhaps because he realized this, the scene before him began to shake like a reflection in the water. Helen breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to wake up from her nightmare.

But he relaxed too soon, because it was when he saw that the mirror, which should have been hung securely, suddenly "broke free" from its restraints and flew towards him.

Inside the mirror was the ruins of the night, and among the ruins, a young man with an inadequate face was looking at him with trepidation.

Of course he knew that person, and that was himself.

But the look on the man's face he had never seen before.

Myself...... Would you really be scared to this point?

He was a little suspicious, but suddenly panicked - the mirror was already in front of him, and it was still approaching him, what would happen if the mirror touched him?

Will he be locked in a mirror, locked in that pitch-black ruin, like in a horror story, and never get out?

If he is locked up, will the person in the mirror take his place?

That's the way it works in horror stories – seeing yourself in the mirror is not the same as usual, and then curiously walking over, closer, closer, closer. When they got close enough, the person in the mirror suddenly reached out and dragged themselves in, so he was locked in the mirror, and the person in the mirror went out instead of himself......

Thinking of this, he felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and he couldn't help but let out a hoarse scream.

Then he woke up.

It was pitch black all around, but fortunately it wasn't ruins, it was a normal bedroom.

Helen let out a long sigh of relief, and raised her hand to wipe her forehead, which was cold, but wet, and even her hair was soaked.

"Another nightmare...... he sighed feebly, "Shall I henceforth sleep in the bazaar during the day and stay in the tavern at night?"

Unbeknownst to him, as he screamed, the sleeping panda opened its eyes in the guest room on the top floor of the tavern.

"Evil energy!" Panda frowned, "Where did the evil energy come from?"

He frowned, got up and knocked on Loma and Alfiin's door.

Loma was right next to him, knocked twice and didn't respond, but listened closely, and there was a heavy snoring sound coming from inside.

Dwarves are like this, they can eat, drink and sleep, which is their enviable talent. Perhaps it is precisely because of this talent that they are rich in Humpty Dumpty, who are as thick as a large tree stump, and are able to take on the position of the avant-garde of the adventure team, which is usually filled by a strong man.

The panda sighed, didn't bother Loma, and walked back to Alfiin's room.

I got to the door, and before I could knock on it, the door opened.

Alfiein, dressed in civilian clothes, stood in the doorway, his eyes shining with gold and silver, and he looked like an uncertain prophet.

"That-"

"Coming in and talking, being seen in the hallway can get you in trouble. ”

Entering the room, before the panda could speak, Alfien said, "I just felt the evil qi, and you felt it too, right?"

Panda nodded: "Although it is not very strong, the feeling is quite clear." ”

"Of course it's clear, we only came into contact with this evil spirit not long ago. Alfien smiled slightly, "At dinner, the feminine-looking drinker in the tavern was the one who had been drinking for a while and was lying on the table. He has such evil spirits in him. ”

Panda frowned: "...... I didn't feel it at the time. ”

"At that time, it was very weak, and the evil element in this evil qi was not very large, so it was normal for you not to feel it. "You are a paladin and not a Templar, after all, and you don't have their sense of evil as strong as that of an evil detector. But I'm different, I'm an evil god, and in my eyes, all evil spirits can't be hidden. ”

"You're not as exaggerated as the 'evil god'......"

"So I need to be exposed to more evil ...... Or the things of the 'evil gate', so that you can draw strength from them, gain experience, and improve your evil god level. Alfiin smiled and said, "Don't worry, since the advancement of the 'Folklorist' is the 'Evil God', then my current situation should be normal." It's just that this career advancement condition is too difficult. ”

"To kill an evil god to advance, it's not just a 'difficult' word!" Panda complained, "The entire mad god world can probably only advance to one." This has to be put in the game, I'm afraid it's going to be noisy......"

Alfien smiled happily: "So, I have picked up a big bargain - could it be that this world is actually a game, and I am the protagonist?"

The panda was speechless, so he could only choose to change the topic: "By the way, are you sure where this world is?"

"Of course!" Alfiin's eyes lit up again, "similar to the style of the mad god world, Mut Town, Helen with a woman's name and appearance, evil spirit...... Together, I can clearly determine where the world came from. ”

"This is the world of Halloween Carnival Night!"
