A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers
Chapter 18 Ghost in the Mirror
- Lying!groove!
The moment he was firmly grasped, Fang Shiqing almost cried out.
He struggled hard twice, but the hand was so strong that it held tightly, no matter how hard he shook it, he couldn't shake it off.
He suddenly remembered that he had a knife on him, and quickly fumbled around in the inventory.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from the mirror in front of him:
"—Don't be afraid, it's me."
In the mirror in front of him, lines like water rippled, and then a head and half of his shoulders poked out.
That face was very familiar, it turned out to be Xiao Fengdi.
"Help me, pull me over." He turned his head to look at Fang Shiqing and said.
Fang Shiqing was stunned, while Zeng Xin who heard the sound running from behind was petrified.
"Uh... Big... Boss?"
"Well," Xiao Fengdi in the mirror gasped, and called him again: "Help me."
Seeing him frozen in place and not moving, Xiao Fengdi had an indescribable expression on his face, and had to humiliately urge: "Can you hear me? Hurry up, give me a hand."
Fang Shiqing responded in a daze, and dragged him out of the mirror forcefully.
The mirror on the dressing table is small in size, oval in shape, and high in position, so it is not easy for someone to get out.He finally climbed out, jumped from the table to the ground, and silently raised his hand to wipe his face.
The three-flowered cat strolled over curiously, circled him around, then slipped back to Fang Shiqing and squatted down.
"Speaking of which, are you alright?" He put down his hand, his gaze swept over Fang Shiqing's whole body.
"Uh, basically nothing..."
Fang Shiqing touched the big bag on top of his head and said.
"He..." The stunned Zeng Xin finally came to his senses, pointed at Xiao Fengdi and screamed, "What is he?!"
Fang Shiqing twitched the corner of his mouth again.What's the matter with this girl, he just remembered the wrong name, but Xiao Fengdi doesn't even remember her at all?
"...Don't you know him? He's Xiao..."
"Impossible!" Zeng Xin insisted, "He is definitely not a human being, how can a human being crawl out of the mirror? It must be the monster in the mirror before! You, you, get away from him—"
The girl tremblingly raised the knife in her hand, as if she was about to fight the monster to the death.
Fang Shi said with a clear heart, how could the ghost in the mirror get stuck in the middle of the road when he was going out, and he had to ask someone to help him to get out.
But considering the boss's face, it's better not to mention this matter.
"No way, his hands are hot, the monster before was cold." He said from another angle.
At that time, those two snake-like arms were filled with cold air, without any human warmth, completely inconsistent with the other party's situation.
As Fang Shiqing spoke, he touched the arm of the person next to him: "Your body is also hot...what's the matter?"
Xiao Fengdi withdrew his hand as if it was burning, and then coughed softly, "...Sorry, I'm not used to being touched."
Fang Shiqing didn't think much about it, he just thought it was oversensitivity caused by nervous tension in this special environment.
"However, this is really strange, why did you come out of the mirror, big brother?"
"It didn't come out from the 'mirror'," Xiao Fengdi paused, "I came from the other side of the mirror."
"The other side……?"
He said slowly: "Let's start from the beginning. When the ghost in the mirror appeared, I suddenly moved from the toilet to the living room, and there was no one around. After that, I searched the whole house, but I didn't see any other living things. Not even a bug. I also tried to leave this yard, but there seems to be a restriction around it, and when I push the door, I still hear a strange beep..."
Now that it was very close to the gate of the courtyard, Fang Shiqing simply ran over and tried to push it, only to hear the prompt sound in his head: "The door seems to be fixed with the space, and it doesn't move at all."
Fang Shiqing: ...
"In short, I think we should have been teleported into the dungeon." He had no choice but to say, "If we don't defeat the BOSS, we shouldn't be able to get out."
Xiao Fengdi nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Then," he continued, touching the mirror surface of the vanity mirror, "while inspecting the yard, I noticed that this mirror was unusual. It didn't look like a solid, but something like a liquid, and it seemed to pass through it. Go to the other side. At this time, through the mirror, I saw you and the yard behind you, so I tried to reach out and pull you."
Is it so amazing? !
Fang Shiqing was very surprised.He looked at the mirror again, and found that his face was no longer reflected on it, but became as hazy as the mirror box in the toilet.Trying to touch the surface, the bottom of the hand is firm and cold, very ordinary, not to mention the strange scene that the other party said.
"This...if what you said is true..."
He suddenly thought of the games he had played before, and suddenly had a bold guess.
"Isn't this mirror a one-way teleportation point?"
"One-way... teleportation point?"
Zeng Xin couldn't help asking.She didn't dare to look in the mirror, nor did she dare to get too close to Xiao Fengdi, so she hid next to Fang Shiqing again.
"Yes. Although the scene on the side of the mirror is the same as this side, they are two different maps. The mirror is used as a teleportation point in the middle to connect and communicate. The teleportation point can only transfer people from that side to this side, so It's a one-way-"
"Based on that, I probably guessed how this dungeon works!"
This dungeon is probably composed of several scenes of "You Qingyu's house", which are connected with each other through teleportation points (mirrors).
To put it in a more general way, it's like You Qingyu's house in many parallel worlds is connected by mirrors, and they can travel between different worlds through the mirrors.
The more he talked, the more he felt that his guess was reliable, and he couldn't help but beam with joy, "I guess, this kind of mirror must be more than this one, we must find other mirrors with the same usage, and then go to another 'You Qing' through that mirror. Go to the scene of Yujia'. Maybe you can find other players there!"
"Uh……"
He danced and talked lively, but the other two didn't speak for a while.Zeng Xin didn't seem to follow his train of thought at all, and Xiao Fengdi folded his arms with his expression unchanged, but he probably didn't understand - after all, he knew nothing about the game.
"Anyway," Xiao Fengdi broke the silence, "We need to find another mirror like this, right?"
"Yes," that is, looking for the next teleportation point, "We just came out of the living room, and the big mirror should be ruled out. I haven't been upstairs yet."
"I've seen it before," Xiao Fengdi thought for a while and said, "There are two bedrooms upstairs, one of which has a large full-length mirror, but it looks very ordinary, not like that... teleportation array?"
"Teleportation point." Fang Shiqing explained to the game blind with a serious expression, "You checked the scene on the mirror side - for convenience, let's call it scene A for now, and our side is scene B. The two sides look the same , but the essence is completely different, the props that can be picked up, the flags that can be triggered, and the location of the teleportation point may all be different."
Xiao Fengdi actually listened to his preaching very seriously, then nodded and said, "So that's the case. Sorry, you know, I... don't really understand these things."
Fang Shiqing suddenly felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied: "It's okay, it's normal for people who have never played games to think of these things, and didn't we agree before? I will teach you about the content related to the game— —”
"that……"
Zeng Xin interjected weakly, "If you put it this way, we haven't finished checking the yard yet."
Although the small courtyard is not big, there are too many sundries, especially on the other side of the low brick wall, there is almost no place to step down.
"Then let's check the yard first?"
"I think," Zeng Xin grabbed his sleeve timidly, and whispered, "For...for efficiency, isn't it faster to divide the troops into two groups?"
She boldly said: "Shiqing, you go upstairs with me, this... looks very powerful, and should be able to inspect the yard alone..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally let go of her hand uneasily, "Just, just a suggestion..."
"—No, I absolutely disagree."
Fang Shiqing pursed his lips tightly. If it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a girl, he would probably have quarreled with her already.
Did she think she died too slowly to send the boss away? !
"That makes sense," Xiao Fengdi said unhurriedly at this time, "It is indeed faster to investigate separately."
"what?"
He glanced at the two of them, turned around and said, "But if they are too far away from each other, it's not easy to support each other in case something happens. Let's divide the yard into three parts, each of us will check one part thoroughly. Let's go upstairs together."
After speaking, he pointed casually, "I'll go over there." Then he took out the flashlight, turned it on, and walked away on his own.
The boss said so, Fang Shiqing had no choice but to walk to the other side.Zeng Xin hurriedly followed beside him, even closer than Xiao Hua.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Shi Qing," she apologized softly, "don't be angry."
The point is not to be angry, okay? !
Fang Shiqing shakes the flashlight tiredly, flipping through the pile of garbage in front of him.
"Why are you apologizing to me? You have to apologize to the big brother," he said, "Are you stupid? What's the use of pulling me all the time? I'm a dead house who can only play games. Boss Xiao has the ability To deal with demons and goblins, we have to hug their thighs to be safer."
Zeng Xin looked at the flashlight at the other end of the yard, lowered his voice and said timidly: "But... I think that person is really scary, gloomy, and doesn't look like a good person."
Fang Shiqing: ...the first time I saw someone at the entrance of the library, your eyes were shining like a wolf.
Turning over a pile of rotten wood, he found that there seemed to be a few dark clumps growing on it. He swept it away with a flashlight, and suddenly took a deep breath.
"This is……"
Black Fungus?
"Agaric?" Zeng Xin also recognized it, "Can fungus grow casually in this kind of place..."
"Whatever, anyway, this is a game, not reality. Edible mushrooms can grow on the cabinets. It's not strange to grow some fungus elsewhere."
Fang Shiqing pulled out the knife and happily cut off the fungus piece by piece.Fungus is more valuable than mushrooms, but unfortunately there are not many of them here, and there probably won't be much left after drying.
He found out that this yard is simply a fungus paradise.When searching again, in addition to looking for the mirror, I also paid special attention to the furniture and wood, and picked some mushrooms here and there.
With these starting points, he finally felt better again.
Close to the low wall in front, there is a tattered wardrobe.
Fang Shiqing kicked away the garbage in front of him, and opened the cabinet door to see if there was anything. Unexpectedly, the moment the cabinet door opened, a person fell out of it, rolled around on the ground, and made a low noise. Coughing and gasping—
"Lying! Slot!"
After taking a photo with the flashlight, Fang Shiqing was so frightened that he almost threw the flashlight away.Zeng Xin let out a scream.
The man was standing up with his arms, his complexion was very bad, and there were faint bloodstains on his body.
The problem is, this person... this face is clearly Xiao Fengdi who just walked to the other side!
"you……"
Isn't that right?
He immediately turned his head to look, and the flashlight at the other end just turned around, and gradually approached.Not far away, Xiao Fengdi raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, Xiao Fengdi, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up with force, supported the cabinet door to take a few breaths, and hurriedly said: "Fang Shiqing! That one over there is not me, but a dummy made of a ghost in the mirror. Come here quickly!"
He opened the wardrobe door, and inside the door was a full-length mirror more than one meter high. At this time, the mirror was shaking gently like water waves, full of mysterious ripples.
The moment he was firmly grasped, Fang Shiqing almost cried out.
He struggled hard twice, but the hand was so strong that it held tightly, no matter how hard he shook it, he couldn't shake it off.
He suddenly remembered that he had a knife on him, and quickly fumbled around in the inventory.
