A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers
Chapter 16 Ghost in the Mirror
"Let me do it," Fang Shiqing volunteered, "Let me try it out first, boss, just watch from the side."
Seeing this, Xiao Fengdi frowned.
"Forget it. It's really too dangerous for you inexperienced people to deal with this kind of thing."
"No, I think it's better for you, boss, to take care of you... With you here, at least we can have some confidence in our hearts. If you try something wrong when you come up, what will we do later?"
He pushed aside the other people blocking the door, squeezed into the bathroom, and took the lady's facial cleanser from the other person's hand.Maybe because he felt that what he said made sense, Xiao Fengdi finally didn't push back, and took half a step back.
"...Okay. Be careful, I'll just watch over here."
All of them stared at the pioneer—or rather, stared at the foolish and bold eyes, looking at him almost in horror.
"You..." He Xiangwu couldn't help asking, "Why are you so calm, don't you feel afraid?"
The current atmosphere in this room is not an atmosphere where one can do anything indifferently.As long as you are a normal person with a sixth sense, you will feel uneasy and panic more or less.
He also couldn't describe what was wrong. In short, the narrow space in front of him made people feel extremely uncomfortable, and they instinctively wanted to stay away.
"Are you okay?" Fang Shiqing scratched his head and replied, "After all, this is just a game, isn't it?" Ghosts, zombies and the like are just simulated data.Although scary, it is not unbearable.
"No, but, if you die in the game, you will really..."
He Xiangwu swallowed the latter words back.
Fang Shiqing looked in the mirror a few times, and made a few gestures, but found nothing unusual, so he unscrewed the cap of the facial cleanser.
Before, You Qingyu encountered an abnormality while washing his face. If he wanted to reproduce that experience, he might need to wash his face on the spot.
"This..." he hesitated, "Squeeze it out and wipe it on your face, will that be enough?"
He has never used facial cleanser, and he really doesn't know how to do it.
No one spoke, and everyone stared at him angrily.Except for Xiao Fengdi standing behind, no one dared to step into the bathroom, among them, Zhao Jun's daring to put his hand on the door frame was regarded as the most daring act.
Fang Shiqing had no choice but to squeeze a lump out casually, and patted it on his face indiscriminately, like applying medicine, and spread it evenly on the whole face.
At this time, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the door, which seemed to be You Qingyu's voice.
Immediately, I only felt an itch on my ankle, and a soft cry came from directly below——
"Meow - woo."
The three-colored cat brushed past You Qingyu, slipped in through the cracks, and was rubbing around his legs.
"...how did it come here, at such a time!"
Xiao Fengdi bent down to grab it with a dark face, but Xiao Hua nimbly slipped away from his arms and slipped under the washstand.
"I, I, I obviously locked it in my room?"
You Qingyu's voice trembled a little. She was already very nervous, but being disturbed by the sudden incident, her tense nerves almost broke.
In the afternoon, Fang Shiqing asked her to help find a place to keep the cat, so she put it in her room on the second floor, and specially prepared drinking water and cooked chicken in the room.
"Yes, is it Xiaohua?"
"Meow--"
The kitten yelled again in harmony.
Fang Shiqing's face was covered with facial cleanser, so he could only judge the surrounding situation by hearing.He still remembered to look in the mirror after applying facial cleanser, but unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, the facial cleanser around his eye sockets got stuck in it, and his eyes suddenly hurt.
A few tears were secreted from the irritated eyes, and they were about to close instinctively.He almost rubbed his eyes with hands full of facial cleanser, but fortunately he reacted in time.
He didn't dare to close his eyes just like that, let alone wash them with water, so he opened them desperately, trying to penetrate the blur in front of him.
"Wait, don't move, don't do anything," Xiao Fengdi was busy catching the cat, and took the time to shout, "Wait until I get the cat out—"
Suddenly there was the sound of tapping and tapping footsteps in the aisle, followed by a middle-aged woman angrily shouting and cursing: "What are you arguing about! You are screaming and making people sleep?"
Aunt You was wearing her nightgown and slippers, she pushed away the other people outside, rushed to You Qingyu and touched her shoulder, almost poking her nose with her fingers.
"It's okay to call someone to come to the house, and you are so noisy in the middle of the night, you girl is getting more and more outrageous! What are you doing, you, you can even hear the noise next door!"
You Qingyu was momentarily at a loss.After reacting, she immediately opened Aunt You's hand, her face was full of anger.
"Let go! Don't touch me."
"You, this unlucky child really doesn't know what to do!" Aunt You was furious, and immediately grabbed her arm angrily again.
You Qingyu was already thin and thin, but after being dragged by her like this, he staggered immediately.
Zeng Xin next to him was so frightened that he quickly reached out to help, but You Qingyu seemed to have lost his temper and shook his arm vigorously.
"I told you not to touch me!" She raised her voice and shouted, "This is busy now, don't bother me!"
There was continuous quarreling and shoving at the door.Xiao Fengdi cursed in a low voice, temporarily gave up on catching the cat, stood up and sighed: "This is completely messed up."
Yesterday, the "man in the mirror" disappeared after the npc appeared, and it is probably the same today.
Fang Shiqing's eyes were still in pain, and he was about to be unable to open his eyes completely. Hearing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly touched the faucet, turned on the water and washed his face.
Outside the toilet door, You Qingyu and her aunt were arguing more and more fiercely, as if they were about to strike.
Zeng Xin hurriedly hugged You Qingyu and pulled her back, Zhao Jun had to stand between them.
Although she doesn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, she can't do anything with her npc—everyone's workbook says that if they cause harm to an npc, the player will be severely punished.
There was a lot of noise outside, attracting everyone's attention.
Fang Shiqing rinsed off the facial cleanser, looked at his red eyes in the mirror, and couldn't help feeling resentful: the pain just now was probably for nothing.
however--
At this moment, he suddenly discovered——
There seems to be something wrong with myself in the mirror.
Seeing that the quarrel was endless, Gu Jinhong finally couldn't bear it, stepped forward and stopped Aunt You.
"Sorry, Auntie, we are still bothering you so late," he said softly.
He is good-looking and non-aggressive. He is the kind that middle-aged and elderly women like. He is polite and has a nice voice. Now he speaks sincerely and softly, calming down the anger of the other party.
"Hey, there's no need to say that, you are all guests," Aunt You waved her hand, "It's because this girl is too annoying, but I'm her own aunt! I'm not polite to my aunt at all..."
"I don't have this kind of aunt who knows how to eat and wait to die." Hearing this sentence, You Qingyu immediately sneered.
"You, look at her, what kind of attitude is this—" Aunt You trembled with anger.
"Hey, don't be angry, calm down. We'll talk about her for you later. We are all her friends at work. We came here to bother you today..."
Gu Jinhong skillfully changed the topic, while leading her to the other end of the aisle.He also seemed to be very good at dealing with women of this age group, and after a while he calmed Aunt You and sent her back to the upstairs room.
"What's my attitude?" You Qingyu's anger still persisted, "If she were my aunt, I would have moved out a long time ago, and she would definitely be as far away as possible. If it wasn't the game's requirement, if she couldn't be moved—"
Zhao Jun said: "Calm down, don't forget, we can't fight with npcs."
"that……"
Fang Shiqing said weakly, "It seems..."
Xiao Fengdi poked his head out to look at them, frowned and said, "The attempt just now was interrupted, and we may have to do it all over again."
"Who knows why she suddenly fell ill and had to run down to meddle in it?" You Qingyu leaned back and shook his head mockingly, "Why did I have to give this game to such an annoying relative?"
"Wait, I said..."
Fang Shiqing's voice trembled.
He stared at the mirror tightly, not daring to look away.The self in the mirror was also staring at him, and a creepy smile gradually appeared on the face that was obviously pale by several degrees——
He suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, but he didn't dare to call out to his companion, for fear of irritating the "thing" in front of him.
——Although the test just now was interrupted, it... didn't fail.Instead, be as successful as you can get.
Gu Jinhong walked back along the aisle, pursed his lips and said, "You don't have to be so angry. She... your 'aunt' probably heard you yelling, so she ran down to see you. You again Why keep using this irrational method to choke the fire."
"Then I really thank her," You Qingyu said mercilessly, "This kind of concern is useless, I just hope she will never bother me."
"..."
Fang Shiqing took a deep breath.
The black eyes of "myself" in the mirror slid to one side, as if I heard the conversation outside and was following the sound.
"But this won't solve the problem," Gu Jinhong said lightly, "On the contrary, if you have a better attitude and a few words of coaxing, you can save a lot of trouble. The trash who is just eating and waiting to die also wants to be respected."
"Are you teaching me how to be a human being?" You Qingyu asked forcefully.
Gu Jinhong shook his head and said nothing.
There was a moment of silence among the players.In this short period of silence, Fang Shiqing's breathing voice, which he tried so hard to suppress, was finally noticed.
"that……"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Fengdi turned around, "Oh, I might have to do it again later——"
He stopped suddenly.
Fang Shiqing pointed to the mirror box stiffly.His image reflected in the mirror was stretching out his hands straight forward, and at the same time parted the corners of his mouth, revealing a weird smile.
There was a circle of ripples on the mirror.The pair of arms suddenly broke through the mirror, elongating strangely like some kind of mollusk——
"he……"
Fang Shiqing murmured.
"He... is already here."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Fengdi rushed in.You Qingyu behind him let out a scream and backed away again and again, the players were in a mess.
The piercing chill like ice cubes approached quickly, and the hands of "Fang Shiqing" were about to touch Fang Shiqing's shoulders——
"Get out of the way!"
Xiao Fengdi pushed him away forcefully in time.
"Wow!"
Fang Shiqing slipped and fell backwards on the ground, only had time to catch a glimpse of Xiao Fengdi swinging his arms stretched like snakes from the corner of his eye, and then hit his head on the wall.
Consciousness blurred for a moment.
The scenery in front of me was like water waves, rippling one after another; there were high and low humming in my ears, but it was only a momentary thing.
He rubbed his back in a panic, leaning on the wall to stand up, but suddenly stopped.
——The small toilet was empty, and he was the only one.
Xiao Fengdi, who was still by his side just now, who was at most one meter away from him, disappeared; through the wide open door, the corridor outside was also empty, and the other players who were waiting there also disappeared.
The arms protruding from the mirror were also gone.
All breath and human traces are gone.It was quiet, without any human voice.
Only his own rapid breathing and heartbeat echoed in the room.
Seeing this, Xiao Fengdi frowned.
"Forget it. It's really too dangerous for you inexperienced people to deal with this kind of thing."
"No, I think it's better for you, boss, to take care of you... With you here, at least we can have some confidence in our hearts. If you try something wrong when you come up, what will we do later?"
