A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

This was the third time he saw such a creepy smile, but this time, for some reason, it made him more uncomfortable than before.

A chill came up from the soles of his feet, and Fang Shiqing felt that something was about to happen, subconsciously tightened his arms, and the little flower in his arms meowed in protest.

Seeing the "self" in the mirror standing up from the sofa, stretching out his hand——

At this moment, his eyes suddenly went dark, Xiao Fengdi stretched out his hand and covered his eyes.

"Don't look at it," Xiao Fengdi dragged him upstairs, "Mirrors are inherently yin, and this mirror is placed in a yin position. If you look at it for a long time, something will happen if you don't keep it in place."

"oh oh……"

His palm is wide, the palm temperature is a little high, and there is still a little smell of medicine.When you cover your eyes, you feel surprisingly safe.

Fang Shiqing was stunned for a moment, and was dragged away in a daze. He didn't realize it until he was dragged up the stairs, and quickly freed his hand to break the other's arm.

"Wait, maybe looking at the mirror is an important flag..."

During the game, if you want to promote the progress of the plot, you usually need to trigger certain events to turn on a specific "switch"-this switch is also called a "flag".

Fang Shiqing tried his best to explain the game knowledge to his companions while going up the stairs.This section of stairs is also very old, but it is still strong, but it makes an unpleasant creaking sound when walking.

"For example, if I want to open a locked door and go outside. If I want to do this in reality, I only need to hold the door key; but in the game, if the game sets 'If you have to talk to everyone in the room once to go out, then as long as I don't complete this event—that is, I don't set up this flag, even if I have the key in my hand, I can't go out anyway.

"For now, if triggering the monster in the big mirror is a necessary flag to advance the plot of the dungeon, if we don't do this, maybe we will get stuck, so, uh, let's give it a try ?”

But Xiao Fengdi just responded with a subtle expression that could not be explained in words.

"I probably understand," he said, "but... aren't you afraid?"

"what?"

The two had already passed through the stairs and came to the corridor on the second floor.There were two side-by-side doors in front of him, Xiao Fengdi walked in front and pushed open the closer one.

"I have long felt that you are a little too calm," he stepped into the room, quickly confirmed that there was no one there, and then beckoned Fang Shiqing to come in.

"Even if that may be an important condition, but it is also possible to recruit ghosts, aren't you afraid of being killed by it?"

"Well, I'm still quite scared. When I saw the monster in the mirror just now, I felt like I was going to be scared stupid."

Fang Shiqing entered the door and put the cat down casually.Xiaohua was probably strangled before, and ran away as soon as she hit the ground.

"However, that's the way it is when playing games. If you don't trigger the plot because you're afraid, and just hide in the safe house, you won't be able to pass the level for the rest of your life."

"..."

Xiao Fengdi was silent for a moment.Judging by his expression, he probably felt that there was something unusual about Fang Shiqing.

Fang Shiqing sighed in his heart.Not to mention the other party, he himself feels that he is not normal. Since entering this game, he has always embraced the mentality of playing games for everything around him—even if he was almost eaten by a zombie and torn by the ghost in the mirror. The fear I feel has never exceeded the level of watching game characters in distress across the screen.

"There is a question," Xiao Fengdi asked suddenly after a while, "You said that triggering an event may be a necessary condition for clearing the dungeon... Is it also possible that triggering that event is a necessary condition for some bad things? For example... After seeing it in the mirror a few times, she will directly double her strength or something."

"Huh? It's also possible... I really haven't thought about it."

Fang Shiqing suddenly became conflicted, touched the back of his head and said, "I'm sorry, boss, so to speak, I really didn't think carefully. This kind of negative flag may indeed lead to BADEND."

This room was a little messy, with a little cigarette ash on the floor, cigarette burn marks on the bed sheet, gaudy ornaments and ashtrays on the low cabinet, it should be Aunt You's room.

The two looked around.

Overall the room was nothing special.There is a large closet near the wall. The full-length mirror that Xiao Fengdi mentioned is in the closet. There is no abnormality, and it can reflect the human figure normally.

There are half a pack of cigarettes and an old-fashioned radio in the drawer, which seems to be broken. The sound received is intermittent, and it seems to be the weather forecast from nowhere.

Fang Shiqing tried to rotate and tune the channel, but only the sound of snowflakes remained in the microphone.

However, just when the two were about to leave, the radio was placed on the table, and the sound of snowflakes suddenly stopped.In its place is a clear female voice:

"Can you hear it?"

This turned out to be You Qingyu's voice!It's just that the voice has no ups and downs, and it's so flat that it's a little weird.

"Are you listening? Do you hear?" the voice asked, suddenly changing the subject. "You are listening. You can hear me. Now you are connected to me. You are about to become me; you It's not you anymore, your soul and body are mine. Your mind, your capital, your life—it's gone, it's all gone. Hahahaha...haha."

Followed by a series of irregular laughter, still flat and emotionless, as harsh as scraping wood.After laughing, the voice began to repeat the previous words again.

"Is it a repeater?" Fang Shiqing muttered.

Xiao Fengdi was thoughtful.

Of course, the next door is You Qingyu's room, which forms a sharp contrast with Aunt You.This room is a bit smaller, and the furniture is also outdated and old, but the whole room is very tidy, there is even a cut mineral water bottle on the window sill, with two wild flowers inserted diagonally inside.

Affected by the unexpected incident just now, both of them felt that something might happen, so they moved faster.Xiao Fengdi opened the drawer, was startled suddenly, reached out and took out a bag of things.

"Why does she have this at home?"

It turned out to be cinnabar inside, and the weight was about the same as a pack of 2000 yuan in the grocery store.

And he also checked this room when he was alone on the other side of the mirror.There was no such paper bag in the drawer at the time.

"This should not be something in her home, but an item that can be picked up in the dungeon," Fang Shiqing explained, "We are in the dungeon now, not her home."

Just like there were no mushrooms growing in the yard of You Qingyu's house, it is not surprising that cinnabar, which would not have been there, appeared in her drawer.

But he didn't expect that there would be so many good things in the dungeon, and the things he picked up after a stroll were probably worth tens of thousands of game coins.

There is no mirror in You Qingyu's room, not even a palm-sized mirror.

After a quick check, the two went downstairs again. Of course Fang Shiqing didn't forget to bring the cat with him.Xiaohua seemed to have resentment in her heart, but it passed after she meowed at him twice, and she didn't hold grudges like ordinary cats.

At this time, the strange shape of the big mirror has disappeared.Before Fang Shiqing could take another look, Xiao Fengdi pulled him out the door.

"Try not to look at it as much as possible. I suspect that the fake me just now appeared after I accidentally looked in the mirror-have you noticed? The dummy's handedness is opposite to mine."

The fakes that appeared in the yard before looked exactly the same as the real ones, but the left and right were opposite. Anyone would think of a "mirror image".

Fang Shiqing shivered: "That is to say, could looking in the mirror cause that monster to create our clones? If this is true... It's over, I've looked in the mirror several times before, and that ghost in the mirror I’ve had two face-to-face calls, and I’m afraid they’ve been copied long ago.”

——Reminiscent of the passage he received on the radio just now, what you are no longer you, you are about to become me, etc., he suddenly had a worse idea.

Could it be that its goal is to completely replace the real product with a fake copy... right?

At present, it seems that the fakes are cold, and there is a clear difference from the real ones.But the radio mentioned possession of a body, what if... what if the real person is killed, and then the fake uses the body to return to life?

With such a guess, he really panicked.He himself is not that afraid of death, but it would be too annoying if a monster pretends to be himself to trick his teammates after his accidental death.

The two of them crossed the yard again and returned to the mirror of the broken wardrobe.

Xiao Fengdi stretched out his hand to him: "I'll go over first, you push me from behind. Then I'll pull you over."

Fang Shiqing grabbed his hand, and at first he didn't know why he arranged it so meticulously.It wasn't until he followed behind and jumped into the mirror that he realized that it was really not an easy task to go through the mirror to the other side.

The inside of the mirror seems to be some kind of strange different-dimensional space, and the surrounding area seems to be filled with a special liquid, which is viscous and stagnant, and it is easy to stick and make people unable to move.If it weren't for teammates pulling in front, I really wouldn't be able to climb out by myself.

——If I was alone, if I got stuck in the middle of the mirror, would I be fixed here forever, unable to live or die?

This thought flashed across his mind, and the next moment he was smoothly pulled to the other side of the mirror.Xiaohua jumped from his arms to the ground, she also seemed to hate the feeling in the mirror, and shook her hair vigorously.

Xiao Fengdi scanned the surrounding area with a flashlight.The yard here is similar to the previous one, and it still looks messy.

Fang Shiqing regained his strength, and immediately turned back to check the wardrobe, then lowered his head in disappointment.

"…What's wrong?"

"There are no mushrooms growing on the wood here," he said despondently.

"..." Xiao Fengdi silently stopped talking, "Mushrooms...are they that important?"

"It's very important!" Fang Shiqing was very sure about this, "Boss, you don't know, so many mushrooms are very valuable! As long as we take the collected things out and sell them, we can exchange them for a lot of money, and we can buy all kinds of mushrooms with money." If you have enough props, won’t it be easier to enter the book next time?”

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "For survival games, when the pressure of survival is not strong in the early stage, it is of strategic significance to earn as much supplies as possible and lay the foundation for the future!"

I don't know if he was really convinced by him, or if he thought it was too naive to argue about this kind of thing, anyway, Xiao Fengdi didn't say anything, and even helped him to find it together.

The conclusion is that not only is there nothing on this wardrobe, but there is no sign of any collected objects in the entire yard.

It seems that the resources in the copy are also distributed randomly, not in any scene.However, Fang Shiqing was not affected. Anyway, this dungeon still has a lot of undeveloped areas.

After checking the yard, the two walked towards the gate.The window was dark and without light, and there was no sign of anyone moving inside; however—the door was locked from the inside.

There must be someone in it, or...something that isn't human.

Xiao Fengdi knocked on the door first, but there was no sound from the door.

After a while, he directly broke the door lock with a knife.

The two walked through the entrance one after another, and then did not enter the living room immediately, but first took a photo with the flashlight.

Two flashlights staggered across the hall, and soon captured an unusual scene——

There was a dark figure on the stairs, which looked like a person sitting with his knees curled up.That "person" was motionless, even if it was swept by the flashlight, it didn't respond, it was like a statue.

The flashlight illuminated the man's face; it was a face both men knew.

"...You Qingyu?"
