A Midnight Escape Story for Farmers

Chapter 31 Ghost in the Mirror

"look!"

Without any explanation, he grabbed Xiao Fengdi's arm and pointed to the edge of the mirror.

"Look, where the frame of the mirror is—"

Xiao Fengdi was also slightly startled after seeing clearly the frame he was talking about.

This type of large mirror usually cannot be directly attached to the wall with glass glue, and often has to be punched on the back and fixed with rivets.

The mirror in You Qingyu's house is quite old, and there is no decoration other than the aluminum alloy frame, and the rivets used for fixing are exposed to the outside.However, now on this mirror in front of them——

There is no trace of any rivets, and the entire frame is clean.

Not sure how it's fixed to the wall?

Xiao Fengdi frowned for a while, then walked over quickly.

His actions immediately attracted the attention of others.The other two immediately dropped the things in their hands and stared at him nervously, afraid that an arm or something would suddenly appear in the mirror in front of them.

He stood in front of the mirror, stretched out his hand a little harder, and the large mirror shook directly.

"This mirror," He Xiangwu, who was next to him, also saw that something was wrong, "This mirror is not glued to the wall, but... hung?"

Generally speaking, it is impossible to hang this kind of large mirror with a length of several meters, not to mention the danger, because of its weight alone, it is not so easy to hang it.

"Probably only this side is like this. The mirrors in other halls are all made of nails."

Xiao Fengdi took a look and greeted several people: "There seems to be something behind it. Help me to take it off."

As usual, there must be some important clue behind this kind of wall decoration that can be lifted-even people who don't play games can think of it.

"what?"

"This..." Zeng Xin said tremblingly, "If you mess with this mirror, nothing will happen, right?"

"..."

After all, taking the mirror down is no more dangerous than breaking it.

It's all about fear, but Zeng Xin, who has excellent strength, still undertook the work of moving the middle position of the mirror.Fang Shiqing volunteered to move the right side, and several people worked together to remove the large mirror relatively easily.

When the mirror was moved away from the wall, Fang Shiqing glanced at what was exposed behind, and was so startled that he almost threw a corner of the mirror in his hand out.

As expected, there was something behind.

Hidden behind the large mirror is another mirror!

This mirror was about half a meter wide and taller than a person. It seemed different from ordinary large full-length mirrors. It was stuck alone in the middle of the empty wall.

There are light blue ripples on the mirror, which is obviously another teleportation point.Through the swaying ripples, you can see the same living room scene on the other side of the mirror as on this side.

These were nothing, but what shocked him was that from his angle, he could just vaguely see through the mirror—on the floor over there, there was a pile of white bones that had almost rotted away.

The skull is placed in the most conspicuous position, and the black eye sockets are facing this side, so clear that it is impossible to deceive oneself that this is not a human remains.

Fang Shiqing's arm trembled, but he stabilized in time.

At the rate at which the corpse was decomposing, those bones had been sitting there for at least several months, and there was no way they belonged to his teammates.Mostly it is just a scene decoration created in the game to create an atmosphere, and it is not worth being afraid of.

Although the skeleton was scary, he was someone who had seen zombies before, so he was shocked and passed away.

The four worked together to carefully lift the large mirror to the side of the sofa and put it down against the furniture.Fang Shiqing immediately ran to the exposed wall, and looked in through the mirror as the teleportation point.

"..." He took a deep breath, his voice trembling, "Boss, hurry up and take a look, this is..."

Depending on the viewing position, the field of view through the mirror will also vary.

Looking in from the front, I saw that the living room behind the mirror was empty, with sofas, coffee tables and other furniture all missing.Instead, blood-red messy marks were smeared all over the ground, and it was unknown whether it was blood or paint.At first glance, it was even more terrifying than a murder scene.

There are several bones piled up randomly in the corner, some big and some small, some new and some old.

In the middle of the empty living room, there was a slender figure curled up, judging from the figure and clothes, it was You Qingyu who had been taken away before.

She was motionless, like a sculpture without a soul.

Not far from her was a comatose man, with his face facing this way, it was Zhao Jun.Zhao Jun looked very weak, like a seriously ill patient.

——they who were caught by the ghost in the mirror actually appeared here at the same time, which means... Could it be that the one opposite the mirror is where the deepest boss of the dungeon is?

——Commonly known as the BOSS room.

"Stay away from the mirror." Xiao Fengdi walked towards him quickly.

"This mirror is the teleportation point, it should be fine, right?"

Even so, Fang Shiqing took two steps back obediently.

At the same time as he retreated, a pair of pale hands with bright red nails popped out of the mirror, grabbed forward, and almost brushed past his sleeves.

The "ghost in the mirror" suddenly appeared behind the mirror, her beautiful face twisted, her black hair drooping, her face pale, but her eyes were bloodshot.Her hands pierced through the mirror and kept scratching around, but she couldn't leave the mirror and could only stare at him fiercely with resentful eyes.

"……so close."

Fang Shiqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.If Xiao Fengdi hadn't reminded him, he might have been caught and dragged in.

Xiao Fengdi came to the side.As soon as he saw the cat with its head poking out of his arms, the ghost in the mirror immediately backed away as if he had been greatly frightened. He retreated two or three meters in a row before stopping, holding his shoulders with both hands, as if screaming silently .

It seemed a little out of breath, but it didn't dare to come again. Instead, it walked around the living room a few times like a headless chicken, and finally bent down next to You Qingyu.

"..." No matter how many times I experience it, this feeling of scaring ghosts in reverse is just as subtle.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Fengdi's expression changed slightly.

"It—receded into the room."

"Hey?"

Fang Shiqing was taken aback for a moment, and then realized the subtlety of this matter.

The ghost in the mirror, who had been unable to leave the mirror before, is now able to move freely in the opposite room without the mirror?

However, if they passed through this mirror to the opposite side, it could obviously attack them without restriction.

This fact is consistent with his previous guess.He licked his lips nervously: "Boss, I guess, after passing through this mirror, it's time to fight the ghost in the mirror."

"……decisive battle?"

"It's the final boss battle."



When they just moved the mirror, He Xiangwu and Zeng Xin moved the middle section.Due to the coincidence of the location, after putting down the mirror, the two were squeezed into the gap between the mirror and the sofa, and had to spend time turning out from the back of the sofa.

He Xiangwu, who has always been cowardly, didn't react when he saw the bones in the mirror—according to him, it was because those bones looked too unrealistic, just like the original paintings of the game.

Zeng Xin was immediately attracted by the unconscious teammates.

"Let's... Next, should we rescue them first?" She looked back and forth at Zhao Jun who was lying on the ground and You Qingyu who was sitting hugging her knees, and said timidly, "If you leave it alone, I'm afraid Then they'll..."

Both of them should be still alive so far, but the ghost in the mirror has been dangling around, a pair of pale arms approaching You Qingyu's neck from time to time, looking very worried.You Qingyu didn't respond to this, and seemed to have fallen into her own world.

"This...how can I save it?" He Xiangwu said in a low voice.

"Uh, send a person to rush over to attract its attention, and the rest of the people will go in and drag people out before running out... Is this method feasible?"

"I'm afraid it won't work," Xiao Fengdi said. His face became a little heavy after he saw the situation on the other side of the mirror just now. "Look at the magic circle painted on the ground."

He stretched out his hand and touched the messy bloody lines on the ground.

"...A magic circle? That is, a magic circle?"

In Fang Shiqing's impression, the so-called "magic circle" should be like in animation or games, shining while shining.

"Yes, although the drawing is ugly and clumsy, it looks like it was drawn at first glance, but it is indeed an effective magic circle for gathering energy." Xiao Fengdi paused for a moment, "The effect is... the magic circle within the range of the magic circle. The yang qi is continuously pumped to the center."

What he mentioned is completely different from the "magic formation" in Western culture, and has nothing to do with talismans and formations, but is closer to an ancient evil method.

When he saw the magic circle, Xiao Fengdi immediately understood the series of actions of the ghost in the mirror.

Its ultimate goal is to use its own soul to seize You Qingyu's body—that is, the common "seize the house" in novels.

But this is not a world of self-cultivation. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do in practice.On the one hand, the non-original physical body does not necessarily match the soul; on the other hand, the "ghost in the mirror" has been a ghost for a long time, and the yin energy accumulated on her body may not be able to bear by an ordinary female body.

To improve this problem, you need to obtain a lot of Yang Qi for reconciliation.

Just to get more yang energy, it has been trying its best to arrest male players, but it has always shown little interest in female player Zeng Xin.

"..."

After listening to the explanation, He Xiangwu's face turned green: "Doesn't this mean that if we are caught by it, we will most likely be sucked to the point of exhaustion...and die?"

No one cares about him.

Xiao Fengdi looked at the "ghost in the mirror" through the mirror: "She has at most decades of yin energy accumulated on her body, and it takes at least three ordinary men to neutralize it. Once she enters the range of the magic circle, the energy on her body will be reduced." Drains quickly, so you definitely can't set foot in the mirror. I might, but in this case, I can't stay too long."

Zeng Xin became more anxious: "Then, what about me? I'm not a man."

"You can't do it."

Women's physique is yin, if they lose yang energy, they will only weaken faster.

"This……"

Fang Shiqing habitually touched the back of his head.Looking at Xiao Fengdi's expressionless face, he had some thoughts and hesitated.

"Boss, do you... have anything to do?"

Xiao Fengdi didn't say anything, just took out the knife from the props and held it in his hand.It's not time to refresh yet, and there are still bloodstains on the blade, which looks a bit scary.

"You..." he said uncertainly, "Aren't you going to kill the boss?"

The other party didn't deny it: "You have to try."

"—Can you chop a ghost?"

"—have to try..."

Fang Shiqing held his chin and urged his head to turn as soon as possible, desperately recalling all the previous clues, while staring at the ghost in the mirror endlessly.

After such a toss, he was almost completely immune to its resentful eyes.Anyway, it can only stare at it from a distance, but it can't do anything, and it won't lose health if it is looked at twice.

While looking at it, slowly, he felt something was wrong again.

The ghost in the mirror—her clothes, something is wrong.
