A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 14 Ghost in the Mirror

——It turned out to be You Qingyu.

No one expected that she would run to this place——

However, she seemed to be in a very bad state, not as calm and self-sufficient as before. She huddled in the chair, buried her face in her knees, and kept trembling, as if she had been greatly frightened.

No matter what she asked, she couldn't get a clear answer. She just repeated a few words in a low voice intermittently, which sounded like "mirror" or something.

When the players received the news and ran to see the situation, they were all frightened by her appearance.

"It's okay, it's just that I was overly frightened by being in close contact with the Yin God," Xiao Fengdi said after checking, "Let someone be with you, don't provoke her for now, gossip with her more, get some yang energy, later It will be fine in a while."

In order not to irritate her, the others had to retreat collectively and temporarily stay in the reading room next door, leaving only Zeng Xin, the same sex with whom she had a better relationship, to accompany and comfort her.

Anyway, idle is idle, Fang Shiqing simply put away the newspapers scattered on the ground yesterday.

Putting it away, he couldn't help but sighed, and sighed again——

To be honest, I feel really complicated right now.

Although that girl is not very old, she gave people the impression that she was intellectual and rational before, but now she has become like that, and anyone who looks at it will feel sad and worried.She must have faced something terrifying, right?

The so-called unknown is the scariest thing. Now he didn't directly see the ghosts in the dungeon, but saw the terrified appearance of his companions, and instead felt unprecedented anxiety.

Gu Jinhong walked to the side, bent down to help him pick up a few newspapers, and asked in a low voice when handing them over: "I'm afraid I will enter [Dungeon] soon. How did you think about the last proposal?"

Fang Shiqing had made up his mind before, and replied without hesitation: "No matter who is in danger, I will definitely try my best to help." The implication is that he does not plan to form any small group.

"Then, wish us luck."

Gu Jinhong didn't say anything, just smiled and walked away.

Fang Shiqing shook his head secretly.He thinks that Gu Jinhong doesn't look like a bad guy, but he always looks very defensive. After all, are the players around him so worth guarding against?

Bad guys who will take other people's lives can only come out of hundreds or thousands of people. It's not so easy to come across a dead house like myself who doesn't go out——

This kind of thinking is a bit silly and sweet, but he has lived with this mentality for more than 20 years, and he has grown up smoothly.It's not that he hasn't been cheated of money or taken advantage of, but, was murdered for money?This kind of thing seemed ridiculous to him.

There was a sudden itching on his leg, and the three-colored cat, Xiaohua, ran over at some point, spinning around his calf.

He petted the cat absently, and after a while, Xiao Fengdi came around from behind a nearby bookshelf and handed him a newspaper from 20 years ago.

"Look at this." He pointed to the article that took up the entire page. The headline was "Explore New Industries, Take the Road to Wealth Together", and the content was all about Qingliang Farm, a newly developed farm in Fengyue Town.

The town's newspaper usually has nothing to write about, so it spends a lot of time detailing the ins and outs of the farm.

The article really mentioned that the southwest corner of the farm was originally a cemetery, and it described in full detail the residents of Fengyue Town who strongly supported the development measures, so they voluntarily moved the graveyard and so on.

Afterwards, Xiao Fengdi took out another old book with the words "Fengyue Town Chronicle" on the cover.

"I found out," he said, "that farm was originally built by the town mayor, and it was sold to 'your grandfather' at a low price four years after it opened. Another 13 years later, 'your grandfather' fell ill, so he bought it again. The farm was sold to someone else, and three buyers were found one after another, and the money was refunded within two months at most, and it was not sold until he passed away, so it fell into your hands."

"Wow, the background story of this game is quite well done." Fang Shiqing flipped through the newspaper and sighed, "Boss, you are really amazing, you can even find this kind of thing."

"..."

Xiao Fengdi turned his head away slightly.

"It's not that I found it..." He unconsciously clenched the Zhenzhi in his hand, "I just suddenly discovered that there was an icon labeled 'search keywords' hanging next to the item bar, so I tried to use it. one time."

Fuck?Hearing the words, Fang Shiqing suddenly became excited, rushed forward and asked repeatedly: "This, is this a skill! Is it an active skill? Boss, do you have your own active skill? This is really amazing!"

The so-called active skills are skills that need to be activated by the player themselves.So far, I haven't seen anyone with active skills, including Fang Shiqing's own skill column, which only has passive skills.

He caught the other party asking questions, but Xiao Fengdi didn't know anything about the game, so he was a little embarrassed when asked.

At this time Zeng Xin finally ran out, said that You Qingyu had almost calmed down, and told everyone to go back to the lounge.The players immediately shifted their attention and focused on the upcoming instance entrance——



You Qingyu curled up on the seat, although his expression became much calmer, his voice was still somewhat trembling.

"I heard from Zeng Xin. It said in the bulletin that I opened the entrance to the dungeon, right?" She paused for a few breaths, seeming to gather her thoughts, "But, I don't know what the entrance is at all... I just , I just met at home..."

"Anyway, tell us your experience first. You must have been frightened by something, right?" Xiao Fengdi knocked on the table and asked on behalf of everyone.

"Well, it happened in the middle of the night last night..."

After calming down, she quickly organized her language and explained the previous experience clearly.

Last night, she returned to her home in the southwest corner of the town as usual.

You Qingyu's setting in the game is to be unemployed, living in a remote old house left by his ancestors with his aunt who is also unemployed. Game skills, usually don't wash up and go to sleep until midnight.

The accident happened when she was washing up last night.

"At that time, I stood in front of the sink and applied facial cleanser to my face as usual."

The sink in her home is old and ordinary, with a mirror in front of it.

"After wiping the white foam all over my face, for some reason, I suddenly wanted to open my eyes and look in the mirror...but..."

She pursed her lips and spoke with some difficulty.

"The person in the mirror is not me."

"……what?"

"In the mirror...is a person who looks exactly like me, but it's definitely not me," she said. "Her face doesn't have the foam of cleanser, but it's as pale as my face with cleanser. In the mirror The person... After finding out that I was looking at her, that person didn't try to hide it at all, and even smiled at me..."

There is a water dispenser in the library, and Zeng Xin quickly poured her a cup of hot water.She held the water glass in her arms and took another deep breath to calm herself down.

"I probably backed away screaming," she recalled, then shivered suddenly, "while I was backing up, the woman in the mirror suddenly stretched out her hand, and her arm stretched out directly from the mirror , Stretched very long, directly strangled my neck."

She raised her head, showing off her slender neck.Sure enough, there were still bluish-purple marks on it.Several players gasped in unison.

"She wanted to choke me to death, and while choking my neck, she kept talking in my ear, using my voice..."

"What did she say?" Xiao Fengdi asked again.Judging from his tone, this seems to be quite important.

"I don't know. At that time, I was so focused on struggling that I didn't pay attention to what she said." You Qingyu rubbed his neck with lingering fear.

"Think about it again, don't you remember at all?"

You Qingyu recalled carefully, revealing a look of confusion.

"I really don't know... I just think... She seems to hate me very much. She must have said a lot of curses on me."

——Maybe in this game, the monster in the mirror has an enmity with her, Fang Shiqing thought.

Xiao Fengdi nodded and asked her to continue talking.

"Afterwards, the sound alarmed the npc who lived with me."

The so-called "npc" is a system character in the game that is not controlled by the player.And the npc in her mouth refers to the "aunt" she set up.

"The moment she pushed open the toilet door, the hand holding my neck disappeared. The person in the mirror disappeared completely."

Speaking of this, the horror episode seems to have come to an end, but You Qingyu's expression turned even worse.

When she was struggling before, she waved her hands and feet and knocked off the bottles and jars on the sink, and she also had unwashed facial cleanser all over her face. The npc stood at the door, picking up her things, and yelling at her to pack up and go to sleep.

"At this time, that npc...my 'aunt', her profile was reflected in the mirror. The image in the mirror suddenly turned to me, just like before, and smiled at me...just like before Same."

She couldn't continue, Zeng Xin quickly put his arms around her shoulder and patted her.

"Then how did you get here?" After a while, Zhao Jun interrupted and asked.

"...I ran here by myself." You Qingyu calmed down a little, and said, "After seeing that scene, how could I stay in the room? At that time, I couldn't think of anything, and I didn't even face It was clean, and I ran out straight away. At first I just wanted to run as far as possible, but then I thought I had heard it before, it seems that the library wards off evil spirits..."

The library and her home are almost on two opposite corners of the town, so one can imagine how panicked she was at that time.

"Well, that's right," Xiao Fengdi actually agreed, "Aside from other things, this library is definitely the safest place in this town after nightfall. If you encounter any danger in the future, you can also go to the library. Come here."

Fang Shiqing thought to himself, this library doesn't even have a door lock, so how safe is it?Even if it can ward off evil spirits, if a thief or robber comes, it can't be stopped.

But last night was also a special case.Usually Xiao Fengdi himself should live in the library, no matter who comes, he can immediately respond.

"If you don't have time to come here, try your best to escape to the east side of the town," he Youyou added, "The terrain of this town is high in the east and low in the west, and the yin energy goes down, mainly piled up in the west, especially in the west." On that farm."

Fang Shiqing, who was lying on the ground suddenly: "..."

"In short, I have stayed here since then, until now."

After listening to You Qingyu's shock all night, He Xiangwu muttered: "By the way, why do you need to wash your face?"

The game system automatically cleans the dust and dirt on the players every two hours, and the players will not get dirty at all.By the way, the facial cleanser that You Qingyu didn't wash off before has been removed by the system long ago.

"I'm just afraid that I won't be able to adapt to reality in the future, so I want to live a normal life," You Qingyu said with a wry smile, "But...after this incident, I don't think I will want to look in the mirror for decades."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this is just a game, you can just pretend that you watched a horror game live last night." Fang Shiqing comforted.

"...Only you can see it like this."

"So, what do you think, where is the copy entrance?"

Gu Jinhong, who had been silent before, brought the conversation back to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth, "I think it's probably where the abnormality occurred—that is, You Qingyu's bathroom at your home. What do you think?"

"I think so too," Zhao Jun pushed the chair and stood up, and said first, "Time is limited, we need to hurry over and have a look."

His expression was a little anxious, and he didn't know whether he was excited or worried about the unknown [Dungeon].

You Qingyu's eyes flickered, obviously she didn't want to go back to that horrible scene so soon, but she probably knew very well that it was useless to escape.

So after hesitating for a moment, she let go of the hands holding her knees, and stood up unsteadily.

"...I understand. I'll take you there."

After all, finding the entrance to the dungeon is not a trivial matter. The players went to the convenience store first, and under the guidance of skilled players, they bought flashlights, spare batteries, knives and other commonly used items in horror games.I don't have time to worry about money now.

After the purchase was over, it was past noon.A group of seven people finally walked towards the horror scene last night under the leadership of You Qingyu.
