A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 29 Ghost in the Mirror

This is still the scene of the attic, and the bronze mirrors that are as tall as a person on both sides are still placed as they were.

To his horror, a human head protruded from the upper middle of the bronze mirror on the opposite side!

The human head was facing downwards, with only the parts above the neck exposed. At first glance, it looked like a prisoner stuck on the guillotine, or an animal head decorated on the wall.

What made him even more horrified was that the head actually moved twice, raised it up, and blinked at him——

"Damn it! It's alive!"

Fang Shiqing backed away in fright and bumped into the mirror behind him.If it weren't for the fact that the teleportation points are all one-way, he would probably step back directly.

Xiao Fengdi held on to his wrist, "Wait a minute, take a closer look."

"Sorry, did I scare you?" The head opened its mouth and said, "I don't want to do this either, but I can't help it."

The other party's voice was familiar.Fang Shiqing stared at that face, and was shocked to find that that face was not someone else, but Gu Jinhong, who is also a player!

He instinctively stepped forward and reached out to touch the other person's face.The hand is indeed the temperature of the human body, which is indeed the player himself and not a fake.

But...how did he become like this?

"You, you, you are..."

He, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you couldn't say anything for a long time.

"You want to ask, why did I become like this?" Gu Jinhong showed a helpless expression, "This is a long story. Before that, can you..."

At this time, Fang Shiqing's other arm was pulled violently a few times, obviously the teammates who stayed at the other end got a little impatient and were expressing doubts and urging to them.

While he was busy pulling the teammates behind him over, he also kept staring at that head.The initial shock gradually passed, followed by more and more doubts.

"Why is it so slow, what happened... What the hell!"

He Xiangwu, who finally got through, had the same reaction as him, immediately took a big step back, and almost turned around and ran.

"Let's talk about everything later, can you...try first and pull me out?"

Gu Jinhong spoke again, "I've been stuck here for a long time. My head is on one side and my body is on the other. I can't move, I can't move forward or back... If I get stuck again, I'm afraid I will be paraplegic."

"……what?"

Fang Shiqing said in a daze, "You, can you still come out? I thought you and the mirror grew up together."

Gu Jinhong: "...This joke is not funny at all."

After that, He Xiangwu pulled Zeng Xin who was still behind, while the other two started together, trying to dig Gu Jinhong out of the opposite mirror.

The bronze mirror stuck to Gu Jinhong didn't have any water-like ripples on the surface, and it didn't look like a teleportation point.On a flat surface, his head seemed to have grown out of thin air, and the joints looked very smooth, so it was no wonder Fang Shiqing had a misunderstanding just now.

Perhaps it was because of this that his card was extremely solid, as if it had been solidified in cement.

Because he only had his head and neck exposed, there was not much room to use his strength, which undoubtedly made it more difficult to pull people out.It took the two of them a long time to fully extract his shoulders, then both arms.

When Zeng Xin arrived here, she was also taken aback, and then volunteered to help.However, she almost broke Gu Jinhong's neck as soon as she started, and she was so scared that others dare not let her do it again.

Fortunately, after pulling out both arms, things became much smoother.

Several people managed to pull Gu Jinhong's whole body out. After he was completely separated from the mirror, the bronze mirror immediately returned to its smooth and flat appearance, looking ordinary and normal.

Gu Jinhong couldn't stand upright, and sat slumped on the ground with his back against the mirror.

"Thank you so much... I thought I would be stuck here to death." He glanced at himself, "It's been too long since I can change my posture, I have no feeling in my whole body... Fortunately, my arms and legs Everything is still there."

"What on earth are you..." Just as Fang Qing asked the question, Xiao Fengdi interrupted him: "I'll talk about this later, let's stay away from the mirror first."

"I'm sorry," Gu Jinhong shook his head helplessly, trying to raise his hand to signal, but failed, "My whole body is completely numb. Now I really can't stand up or move."

Fortunately, there were four people here, and they dragged and carried him, and quickly moved him away from the place, and quickly took him to the attic.

When he reached the stairs, Fang Shiqing inadvertently looked back at the bronze mirror that trapped Gu Jinhong, and his breathing stopped suddenly.

At some point in the mirror, a figure of a woman in a long skirt quietly appeared.

The surface of the bronze mirror was so distorted that she couldn't see her face clearly, but there was no doubt that it was the "ghost in the mirror" herself.

Her resentful eyes were as tangible as they were, she followed them all the time, until the group of people left the attic completely——

Several people moved Gu Jinhong into You Qingyu's bedroom and put him on the bed.

"It should be safe for the time being... How did you do it? That mirror isn't even a teleportation point, so why did you get stuck in it?"

If it was a teleportation point, it wouldn't be surprising if he was accidentally stuck in it and couldn't advance or retreat when he was alone.

"The teleportation point you mentioned refers to the kind of mirror that people can pass through?"

Everyone stared at Gu Jinhong.While trying to move his limbs, he said with a wry smile, "I was made to look like that by a woman... no, a female ghost."

After being teleported into the dungeon, Gu Jinhong quickly discovered how to use the teleportation point, and met Zhao Jun while passing through.The two of them are relatively calm, and they both have a little game experience. The initial dungeon exploration went smoothly.

However, the good times don't last long——

"While passing by the living room, from that mirror, many...hands suddenly appeared."

Speaking of this, no matter how calm he was before, he couldn't help showing a look of fear.

"Hand? Is it the kind that is white and soft, like a snake?"

Several people had similar experiences, and they were all recalled painful memories for a while, and their faces became ugly.

"Well, have you seen it?" He looked at the other players in turn, and even the cat in Xiao Fengdi's arms got a look, "Then let's ignore this process, anyway, in the end, both Zhao Jun and I were arrested." I got dragged into the mirror and got lost like that."

After a while of dizziness, when Gu Jinhong opened his eyes again, he was horrified to find that he appeared alone in the attic, and was stuck in the bronze mirror——

The entire upper body is fixed in the mirror like viscous liquid, and the legs are on the other side of the mirror, only the head is exposed.

And just as he was trying to struggle, he saw a woman in a dress appearing in the opposite mirror, showing him a beautiful and distorted smile.

That woman—no, the female ghost, had the ability to move between mirrors, and even appeared in the mirror that trapped him, groping his neck with a pair of cold hands.

From then on, until it was found, it took several hours.During this period, he had to maintain the same posture and be alone with the female ghost.

She sometimes disappears, but mostly stays around, gliding back and forth between the two bronze mirrors.

Probably because of being inside the mirror, he could also vaguely hear her voice.

Most of the time, she was like a madman, sometimes laughing nervously, sometimes talking to herself; but occasionally she would talk to him calmly, and her attitude was actually very gentle.

"Just be patient here for a while, and you can leave when things are over," she said, "after I become her, then..."

"Wait," Fang Shiqing had an unbelievable thought, "Hearing this, she doesn't seem to have any malice towards you? She just didn't want you... to participate in the dungeon strategy, so she threw you there and got stuck, but she didn't did something bad to you."

Gu Jinhong was silent.

"Couldn't be, the ghost in the mirror, she's taken a fancy to you, right?" He Xiangwu interjected, "I feel like she treats you, ahem, tenderly."

Gu Jinhong's beautiful face was originally a weapon for killing women, so it's not surprising that it can captivate female ghosts.

"...No, that shouldn't be the case," but after a while, Gu Jinhong slowly shook his head, "However, she should indeed have no ill intentions towards me. As for the reason, I probably know the reason."

Before entering the dungeon——

He once said that "waste also wants to be respected".

At that time, the "ghost in the mirror" was peeping out through the mirror box, and just heard this sentence in his ears.Because of this, she looked at him differently...

Several people fell silent for a while, each remaining silent.

After a while, Xiao Fengdi asked, "Where is Zhao Jun who was with you before?"

"I don't know," Gu Jinhong thought for a while and said, "I've probably been taken away by that female ghost, but she should be fine for the time being. She probably won't kill people yet."

"How do you know, did she tell you?"

It was said that he suddenly moved on the bed in a strange posture, trying to lift his stiff arms up.

"What are you doing? Do you practice?" He Xiangwu wondered.

"..." Gu Jinhong said, "I'm reaching for the props."

It was just a simple movement of raising his hand, and he was sweating profusely. He finally caught something and pulled it out.

"I found some clues with Zhao Jun before, and you will understand after reading it."

It was a notebook with a black cover, with an ordinary and old-fashioned shape.Fang Shiqing picked it up and opened it, only to see the words "Liu Qinsheng" written in neat handwriting on the title page——

This turned out to be the property of the "A Sheng" mentioned by the mirror.

This notebook is written quite concisely, and it is closer to a summary of event recording and organization than a diary.

On the first line of the first page, it reads:

"Mirror committed suicide two weeks ago. They sent me her make-up mirror along with a tape, supposedly a request in her will; and it's been weird since then.

"I suspect: the mirror didn't go, but came to me along with those things.

"I dream about her every day. Sometimes I dream that she strangles my neck and screams at me hysterically. Sometimes I dream that she has shards of glass stuck in her neck, and she smiles and reaches out to me, asking me to give my life to me. she.

"This is by no means day and night dreaming. It is impossible for me to have such thoughts. It must be the result of external forces. Although the theory of ghosts and gods is groundless, we must have awe and exploration when dealing with unknown things. It cannot be directly denied. I want to investigate seriously, starting by throwing away that mirror."

The handwriting obviously belonged to a woman, and every stroke and every stroke was written very smoothly, but from time to time, the writing was too heavy, which vaguely exposed the inner fear of the writer.

On the next few pages, she listed the measures she took, the results she obtained, and the abnormal phenomena of the day, written neatly and carefully.

"x month x day

Behavior: Bury makeup mirrors in the yard√

Follow-up Results: Five hours later, it was seen again in the bedroom.The makeup mirror in the yard is gone.

"On x month z day

Follow-up results: Upon reaching home, the mirror was found in the bag.

Anomaly today: I fell down the stairs in the company.I didn't fall by myself, I'm sure, there must be a pair of cold hands pushing me. "

"...This 'A Sheng' is really calm, and still has the mood to write this kind of record." Fang Shiqing muttered.

Unexpectedly, when he turned to the next page, his cognition was suddenly shattered——

Changing from the previous flat and stable style, the entire page is covered in messy wild cursive, and it is almost impossible to recognize what is written.

"It's her, it must be her—

"She must be here, she is going to kill me, why, I have never been sorry for her... the mirror has been following me, always following me, it can't be smashed, it can't be melted, why, why why—you tell Why me, I must change...I don't want to die, let me go...let me go, let me go...what to do, what to do..."
