Chapter 142: Strange Talk

Meng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the forced offline was a success.

This is his previous discovery, and he is in the world of the mirror, not without consumption.

The main consumption is mental power and that elusive "inspiration".

Once these two forces are consumed to a certain extent, it will be difficult for him to maintain the state of being in the mirror world, and he will be pulled by some unknown traction force and return to the real world.

Based on this principle, Meng Xuan studied the ability to forcibly go offline.

Releasing a large amount of spiritual power in an instant, allowing the spiritual power to enter a state of exhaustion, and at the same time making his attention become scattered and weakening his own inspiration, he can make his stay time in the mirror world instantly clear, and he will be pulled back to the real world by the unknown traction, and forcibly leave the battlefield.

However, this practice is often difficult to control, so it is almost always accompanied by headaches of varying degrees.

The headache ended quickly, and he felt a little tired because of the excessive consumption of mental energy, and a wave of sleepiness hit him.

He fought hard, touched the hard heads of the two little guys on his body, and stood up.

He felt that this exploration was a little strange.

In the mirror world, a modern town has appeared, and there are countless humanoid shadows hidden in the houses of the town, all of whom seem to be residents of the town······

Meng Xuan felt that this town seemed to be a little familiar.

He opened the laptop that Lin Ya had allotted him, clicked on the search website, and began to search on the Internet with words such as "shadow", "town" and "hanging".

Unexpectedly, he quickly searched for information on the Internet.

This is a strange story that originated in a small town in Western State.

About ten years ago, an intellectually handicapped couple in a small town in Xizhou hanged themselves from a tree in their yard with their daughter, who was also mentally handicapped.

It was later learned that the intellectually handicapped couple had been bullied in the town.

The couple's parents are both old residents of the town, and they have children when they are old, but they are unlucky, and the son they gave birth to has congenital intellectual problems, and finally pulled the son up, and the father died, leaving the old mother alone to continue to take care of her son while working, and life is very poor.

But fortunately, the old mother is very strong, so that the surrounding neighbors dare not bully the stupid son easily, and the stupid son is very happy every day.

Later, when the stupid son was old, the old mother wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for her son, but unfortunately their family background and the situation of the stupid son doomed no one in the town to look down on him, and in the end he could only marry a woman with the same intellectual defect from the next town.

The two gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but unfortunately it seems that even God is punishing this family, this daughter inherited the genes of the two and also has intellectual problems.

The old mother was almost desperate, but fortunately, although her son was not very intellectual, he was very obedient and had the strength to do so, and the woman was also well-behaved, hard-working, and the life of the family was steady, and even sent her daughter to the intellectual recovery school for the disabled, and the daughter's intellectual level may be expected to return to the level of close to normal people, which makes their lives full of hope.

But after all, there is an end to this kind of day, and one day, the elderly mother suddenly had a heart attack and passed away.

Without the care of the old mother, the family's life began to be difficult.

Although the old mother entrusted her friends to help take care of her son before leaving, these people ended up using the stupid son as a laborer, paying only a meager wage.

What's worse is that when he is out working, there are always bad men in the town who don't work properly into his door, and sometimes there are screams, resistance, and cries of women in horror.

Two not-so-smart couples endured all this in silence, just to survive well in the town and earn enough tuition for their daughter's schooling.

Until one day, when her daughter came home from school vacation, she happened to bump into the scene of violence against her mother by a man in a small town.

Those eyes full of desire were firmly fixed on her daughter's body, and everything was detonated.

That night, the screams of the silly son in pain and the suppressed crying of the woman came from the house.

The next day, people found that the family of three was hanged from a big tree in the yard at the same time, and their feet were hung with the peace wind chimes made by the old mother for each of them, jingling in the wind.

What made people a little horrified was that the sun shone on their pale corpses, leaving no shadow on the ground.

This phenomenon frightened the townspeople who had bullied them in the first place, and they quickly burned their bodies and cut down trees in the yard to hide the truth of the matter.

But since then, there have been a lot of strange things in the town, there will always be people who see strange figures running over the walls of the town in the middle of the night, and within a month, there have been many disappearances and bizarre suicides in the town, not only in the town, but also in the surrounding areas of the town, and gradually spread.

As a result, the legend of the shadow man gradually spread from the town and became a strange story that circulated in Xizhou and had a wide audience.

"Strange talk?"

Meng Xuan frowned.

He continued to search the Internet to find out more about this strange story, but he found that he could hardly find the exact location of the strange story, and finally found a picture with great difficulty, three corpses hanging on a somewhat withered tree, with wind chimes hanging on their feet, the composition of the picture looked very strange, and I don't know if it was true.

"Why does the strange talk appear in the mirror world?"

Meng Xuan was a little confused.

Then Meng Xuan looked for other information, and found that there were still netizens on the Internet about how to deal with the shadow man.

"The Shadow Man is a terrifying evil spirit, it will often beckon you from a certain distance, and show you a way forward, if you follow its instructions, then you will be led into the unknown horror darkness, and eventually become one of them."

"But you can't just turn around and run, because the shadow man will merge into the shadow of your escape, and give you crazy horror hallucinations and nightmares until you can't stand the madness and confusion and kill yourself."

"The right thing to do is to wrap your hands around your neck, bow to the shadow man at ninety degrees, and look your eyes straight at the toes to make it feel respected, until it leaves on its own, and then it is out of danger......

This coping method is eloquent, as if the descriptor had actually seen a shadow man.

And Meng Xuan found that some of these descriptions were actually very similar to the situation he encountered in the Mirror World Town.

This made Meng Xuan feel a strange feeling in his heart.
