Chapter 5: Behind the Door
Click!
The closed bathroom door was slowly pushed open by Meng Xuan, and Meng Xuan looked out cautiously through the crack in the door.
Outside, the familiar living room of one's own house, empty and silent.
Seeing this, Meng Xuan completely pushed the door open.
In the quiet living room, the energy-saving lamps on the roof glow softly.
Meng Xuan looked at it carefully and found that the world in the mirror was almost no different from his home in the real world.
In his bedroom, the chair still hangs the freshly changed school uniform.
He even found his freshly eaten fast food in the trash.
There is no left and right reversal, no anomalies·····
He walked to the window to see through the window what was going on outside.
But it was pitch black outside the window, as if someone had pasted it with ink, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
Meng Xuan pondered for a moment, giving up on opening the window, he always felt that there might be some unknown horror in the darkness.
He returned to the living room, sat down on his couch, picked up the TV remote on the table, and tried to click the turn button.
Rustle rustle······
Meng Xuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the TV to really be turned on.
There is no picture, just a snowflake screen that is constantly beating and making a noisy noise.
"The TV still works? In other words, electricity also exists in this world? ”
Meng Xuan pondered for a moment, and then he realized that something was wrong.
Twitter······
The frequency of the noise on the TV is getting higher and higher, and the timbre is getting sharper and sharper, and it sounds a bit like a woman's weird shrill laugh.
The snowflakes flickering on the screen were also accelerating and distorting, and Meng Xuan vaguely saw a distorted smile shape, and this smile was becoming clearer and clearer.
Drip!
Meng Xuan decisively pressed the shutdown button on the remote control, took three steps and made two steps, rushed forward to unplug the power of the TV, and immediately turned around and rushed into the bathroom.
As soon as there is an anomaly in the living room, he will quickly touch the mirror, return to the real world, and immediately destroy the mirror in the real world.
After about five minutes, after confirming that there was no other movement in the living room, Meng Xuan returned to the living room.
He carefully observed the TV and made sure that no "Sadako" would climb out of the TV, and then he was completely relieved and relieved, and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the weirdness and danger of the world in the mirror.
I don't know what it is, but if I let what I just did take shape, I would definitely die without a place to bury······
Meng Xuan completely threw some tentative "sassy operations" out of his mind.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Meng Xuan began to retreat a little.
The world in the mirror is more unknown and weird than he imagined, he is not afraid of death, anyway, he awakens the memory of his previous life, and he is considered to have died once, what he is worried about is that if the weirdness of the mirror world escapes to the real world along the mirror······
Then there is a great possibility that his parents and the surrounding neighbors will be killed.
Meng Xuan pondered for a moment, and decided to give up the plan to explore the mirror world for the time being, it was safer, he couldn't be so reckless.
He stood up, ready to go back to the real world and think about it again.
Knock knock!!
Suddenly, there was a noise in the door of the living room, and something seemed to be striking lightly against the door.
Meng Xuan's spirit tensed up instantly, and after waiting for about ten seconds, seeing that there was no more movement from the door of the living room, he walked over lightly and looked out through the cat's eye on the door.
Unlike when it was pitch black outside the window, this time, Meng Xuan could see the scene outside clearly from the cat's eye.
"Not the hallway of the community?"
Meng Xuan was a little surprised.
From the narrow cat's eye, he saw a dim purple shimmer.
His eyes widened, and he managed to make out a rough picture of what was going on outside through the purple shimmer.
Outside the door was not a hallway, not a wilderness, but a room covered in dust and cobwebs.
This room doesn't look too small.
Meng Xuan carefully distinguished, and saw the metal table covered with dust, the one on the table covered by cobwebs looked like some kind of machine, the dust was too thick, the light was too dim, and it was impossible to see the original state at all.
Next to the metal table, there were several large vertical glassware that looked to be broken, facing the cat's eye, and a black door, which I don't know where it leads.
"Looks like a lab?"
Meng Xuan was a little surprised.
Why is there a room outside my house that looks like it has been abandoned for a long time?
What's in this dusty room? Is there a clue to the world in the mirror?
Will the world in the mirror have extraordinary powers?
As the so-called curiosity kills the cat, Meng Xuan, who was originally ready to stabilize a wave, is now as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
Although he knew that there had just been movement outside, and it was likely to be dangerous, Meng Xuan still couldn't help the curiosity and desire to explore in his heart at this time.
He continued to observe for a while.
"What just hit my door should have slipped through the door, so I'll take a look······ Close the door as soon as there is danger. ”
Meng Xuan gritted his teeth, walked to the kitchen, tied the cauldron of his own stir-fry with a rope and carried it on his back, and went to his father's room to strap on an engineering helmet he had left in the room.
He didn't think it was enough, so he finally turned the house upside down, and turned out an iron hoe that he didn't know what to do under his parents' bed, and finally got all the equipment together.
Feeling the heavy equipment on his body, Meng Xuan's heart settled down a little.
Walking to the door, Meng Xuan suddenly fell back into the room, took down the god card full of cigarette ash on his altar, and put it into the pot behind him.
This may be able to fend off some non-physical attacks······
Meng Xuan, who was ready, took a deep breath, gently twisted the doorknob, and watched quietly through the crack in the door.
A room glowing with a lilac light appeared clearly in front of him.
There was dust wafting in the air, and the smell of decay was everywhere, and through the dark purple faint light, Meng Xuan found that this room was about a hundred square meters, and the source of the purple light was something similar to amethyst inlaid on the four walls.
This room did look like an abandoned laboratory, and Meng Xuan saw that there were similar experimental operating tables and experimental machines and equipment placed in the room, and all kinds of things like potion bottles were stored on it.
Near the door of the room, there were several large broken vertical glass petri dishes, which were supposed to have contained some kind of solution before, and there were dark spots left on the glass walls.
On the walls of the room, there were still some things similar to number plates, but they were all complicated ghost drawings that he couldn't understand, and he felt a little dazed after looking at them a few times.
Finding that the laboratory seemed to be empty, Meng Xuan was bold, pushed the door open completely, and walked into the laboratory.
