The Sabbath

"Xiaomei!" Ronggui grabbed Xiaomei's arms nervously, and Xiaomei pulled him hard, because if he didn't do this, he would be completely on Xiaomei's body, that feeling like being caught by a trap... Although it is not It's uncomfortable, but I can't see Ronggui's expression, let alone speak properly.

The little robot stared straight at him with big black eyes full of tension, looking very pitiful.

"What's wrong?" Xiaomei asked him.

Then he saw that Ronggui's face turned "pale".

In fact, it is reasonable to say that there are color changes, but Ronggui's blunt expression can make people feel this illusion.

"Xiaomei! There's someone in the room!" Rong Gui hurriedly said.

Xiaomei tilted her head, without directly judging anything, her blue eyes fell directly on Ronggui's black eyes, and he asked lightly:

"What were you doing just now?"

"I was... looking in the mirror just now..." Rong Gui replied tremblingly.

So, is this the middle of the night when you look in the mirror and get scared by yourself?

Xiaomei said calmly.

With Rong Gui, it seemed that anything impossible could happen. He had told himself a lot of horror stories about not being able to look in the mirror at night, otherwise what would happen. However, he was the one who looked in the mirror most often.

In fact, he is used to taking pictures of anything that can reflect images, such as mirrors, glass windows, and even the surface of stagnant water. As long as there are places where pictures can be formed, he will intuitively notice and then reflectively take pictures.

The "mirror surface" was small before, and it was not easy for him to take a picture of his entire face, but now...

Xiaomei recalled: In that green room, the mirror was really big.

"I wasn't scared by myself, but..." Ronggui continued trembling as if he had guessed what Xiaomei was thinking just now.

"I was looking in the mirror at first, but when I looked at it... I felt that the mirror was not very clean, so I thought... I thought I had to wipe the mirror..."

And then you went to clean the mirror in the middle of the night——was held tightly by Ronggui, Xiaomei thought with a blank expression.

"Then... then the mirror almost fell off, I managed to catch the mirror, and then! Then I saw—" The words stopped abruptly, and Ronggui continued to stare at Xiaomei in horror with his big black eyes.

Xiaomei decided to take a look.

In this way, Xiaomei moved from the blue room to the green room, maintaining the posture of a Ronggui hanging tightly on her body.

It was completely different from the empty and tidy blue room, Ronggui seemed to be packing his luggage just now, his way of tidying up was not to take things out of the suitcase one by one, but to pour them out all at once.

Usually, Xiaomei is sorting out, and Xiaomei's speed is so fast, often the "garbage" on Ronggui's side has just been dumped, and Xiaomei's side will quickly find a place to "bury", and there is no chance to feel messy.

Today, the green hut has become a "garbage dump".

Obviously, the amount of luggage for both of them is about the same, Ronggui is carrying more unnecessary things at most, but the conditions are not so much, but the fact is——Ronggui perfectly made it with such rare things. A scene of mountains of garbage.

Picking up a pair of trousers from the ground, Xiaomei folded it up and put it aside, then habitually began to pack the next things.

"Xiaomei! What time is it? Come and see quickly!" Ronggui couldn't help poking him behind him.

Holding the third pair of trousers and preparing to fold them in half, Xiaomei froze for a moment:

Habits are terrible!

Seeing the messy luggage, I want to clean it up, this... this, this!

Xiaomei was pushed stiffly by Ronggui to the place where the mirror had been placed before. A screw should have been given away. At this moment, the mirror was hanging on the wall with only the screw on the upper left corner, and it was still. Reflecting the scenery outside, the first to bear the brunt are the two small robots at the front.

The little robot in front was calm and calm, while the little robot in the back was cowardly, shrinking behind its companion in horror.

Xiaomei...

Xiaomei quietly looked in the mirror for a while, but he didn't notice that the corners of his mouth had started to turn up slightly.

It looks normal, but there must be something to scare Ronggui like this.

After all, Ronggui is a person who can't lie.

And very timid.

Be sure to find what he just saw and explain it to him with a reasonable reason, otherwise he will always have a shadow.

This thought slipped through her mind, Xiaomei didn't continue to ask, but turned her head slightly, and said to Ronggui who was clinging tightly to her body: "I'll go over and have a look, you are standing here."

It's not because he thinks he's in the way, but because he's considerate.

Considerate of Ronggui's timidity.

"No!" Ronggui refused sharply, and hugged Xiaomei's arm tightly: "I, I won't get in the way, Xiaomei, just take me, take me~"

"And I'm afraid that you, Xiaomei, will be scared when you see it!" Ronggui even found a reason.

Although she is cowardly, she is not annoying at all, and the way she acts like a baby makes people feel considerate and warm, really... really...

Xiaomei didn't care about him.

Dragging Ronggui behind her, Xiaomei went straight to the mirror, stood on tiptoes, and held the mirror frame with both hands (←When he was helping the mirror frame, Ronggui put his hands down and hugged his waist tightly), and then moved the front mirror down.

In this way, the things behind the mirror are clearly presented in front of the eyes of the two little robots.

There are quite a few handprints there!

You can almost see the complete shape of the palm, with a strong sense of impact, protruding from the wall. The movement is too three-dimensional, as if the palm will be pushed out from the other side of the wall at any time.

"Ah!" Ronggui pressed his whole body against Xiaomei's back tightly, even tighter: "That's it. When the mirror fell just now, I suddenly saw several hands coming from the other side of the wall. Reach out!"

But just now he saw this scene when the mirror fell down. At that time, when he saw these handprints, didn't it look like someone stretched out his hand to catch him?

Too scared, Ronggui ran to the opposite side to find Xiaomei in a panic at that time, he didn't have time to tell that these were not the hands stretched out by the opposite side, but some fingerprints.

Now that he realizes that these are just fingerprints, and with Xiaomei by his side, Ronggui's courage has gradually grown back.

He poked his head out from behind Xiaomei, carefully observed the handprints on the wall, and even tried to stand on tiptoe and reach for those handprints with his hands.

"It doesn't look...it's so scary anymore." Putting his palm lightly on one of the handprints, looking at the big hand that was a circle bigger than his own, Ronggui turned his head and said to Xiaomei.

Xiaomei: ...

Obviously, he was terribly scared just now, but now he finds out that it is just a handprint, and he immediately becomes emboldened, and dares to go over and touch it.

Feeling that her lower back, which was still heavy just now, became relaxed, Xiaomei didn't speak, but just looked for a place to put the mirror first.

Then, he began to observe the surroundings carefully.

"However, how did you get these handprints? They seem real." Ronggui was muttering on the chair, when suddenly he saw Xiaomei squatting at the base of the wall, picking up a piece of wallpaper from below, and with a sound of "scrubbing", He tore off a large piece of wallpaper.

"Oh my god! Xiaomei!" Rong Gui was dumbfounded.

"It's okay, I peeled it off very well. If you use adhesive, you can paste the wallpaper back intact." Maintaining the posture of lifting the wallpaper, Xiaomei said expressionlessly.

He removed the wallpaper a little more, and said to Ronggui, "Come and see."

Ronggui immediately got off the chair and came over to look at it.

Then--

"Principal!" With a scream, Ronggui let out a "baji", jumping onto Xiaomei's back as if he was at this moment.

With her legs wrapped around Xiaomei's waist, Ronggui did not move.

So heavy—the heavy weight came back again, obviously it should affect the weight of the action, but Xiaomei felt as if something had settled down.

Slightly pursing her lips, Xiaomei even moved Ronggui's uncrossed legs because she was too nervous, and stuck a place on her waist that would not fall off, Xiaomei then went to roll the wallpaper aside , so that the two can continue to check.

Under the wallpaper is the same platinum-gold metal wall as the outside. However, unlike the flat wall outside, there are many terrible marks on the wall here:

It was like the mark of being severely scratched by a sharp weapon, the mark of being hit by a whip, the mark of poking...all kinds of marks that are very painful at first glance.

Due to their short stature, the two small robots also found a more regular and strange trace at the lower part of the wall: it looks like a letter 1, with the same length, arranged regularly at the base of the wall, like...

"It should be used for counting." Xiaomei said lightly.

Looking around, Xiaomei suddenly said, "This place was once a prison cell."

The decorative wallpaper was removed, and these rooms that were originally prisons finally showed their original appearance in front of Ronggui and Xiaomei.

The walls are full of traces left after various executions, as well as the marks left by people when they struggled in pain, and when they were locked up here, the counting marks left by the confinement people at the bottom of the wall to record time.

In addition, there are some strange-shaped ring-shaped protrusions on the back of the cabinet. Xiaomei said that it should be the place where the chains were originally fixed; He lifted up the bed, and when he lifted it up, he found that there was a metal cage cast on the ground and inseparable from the ground below. The chains inside were all ready-made, and there were even dark red blood stains on closer inspection.

……

All the furnishings in the room were not placed there for nothing, they were all used to cover up various traces behind.

There is nothing more shocking than suddenly discovering that he is living in a heavy punishment prison. Every time he finds a new piece of evidence, Ronggui is frightened. In the end, his entire robot froze.

But Xiaomei is really a reliable and meticulous person. After carefully digging out all the traces, after making sure that there were no omissions, he actually restored everything.

When it was restored, he also arranged Ronggui's luggage very smoothly, and the mirror that had been loosened by a screw was replaced by a screw and hung back up again.

The green wallpaper was glued back, the bed was laid out, the sheets were patted and fluffed, and the whole small room was clean, tidy and warm again as it was when they first came in.

"Okay, you can rest." Xiaomei announced, turning her head, he said to Ronggui who was stiff on his back: "You can continue to sleep here."

Ronggui lowered his head stiffly, his black eyes met Xiaomei's big blue eyes.

Then, she shook her head like a rattle: "No, no! Xiaomei, I don't want to sleep in this room!"

"Then..." Xiaomei lowered her head and asked nonchalantly, "Do you want to go to my room next door?"

"Yes, yes!" Ronggui nodded quickly,

Then--

Then Xiaomei put the packed and expensive luggage into the side suitcase more smoothly, and then dragged it to her own room next door very, very naturally.

Together with Ronggui.

The door of the green room was shut heavily, and for a long time after that, Ronggui didn't dare to go in by himself.
