Shen Yunzhe, who grew up in an orphanage, was laid off by his company. After failing to find a job, he was tricked into a thrilling live-stream game.
The process was full of hardships and ter...
Chapter 128
Sure enough, after Shen Yunzhe said that, the boy's eyes changed obviously.
"You hate me." said the boy.
Shen Yunzhe sneered, "You deserve to be disliked for your behavior."
The boy stared at Shen Yunzhe, two lines of blood flowed from his eyes, and everyone present walked towards them step by step.
Xing Ruomiao was terrified. She grabbed Shen Yunzhe's arm and said, "How about you sacrifice yourself and obey him? Otherwise, we'll all die!"
"If I really gave in, I'd die." Shen Yunzhe said, "The one I have is much scarier than this thing."
"Ah?!" Xing Ruomiao looked at Shen Yunzhe in horror, "Your partner is scarier than a ghost?!"
"That's not the case." Shen Yunzhe smiled at her, "Run to the right and follow me closely."
"Huh? What?!"
Unfortunately, Shen Yunzhe had no intention of continuing to explain. This was not the time to explain. He turned around and ran to the right. Xing Ruomiao followed him. The power of high school students running sooner or later came out. She ran faster than a rabbit. Shen Yunzhe kicked open a door and rushed in. After Xing Ruomiao ran in, she found that this was actually a bathroom!
"I was wondering why there wasn't a bathroom in the lobby, but it turns out there's one in every private room!"
Shen Yunzhe locked the bathroom door and looked around, trying to find a way out. "Well, when I first came in, I quickly looked around. I saw a few customers come in to touch up their makeup. The only place you can do that is the bathroom."
Xing Ruomiao nodded, "Brother is awesome!"
Before she could give a thumbs-up, she was startled by a loud bang. The door was kicked hard by someone outside.
Bang, again.
Then there was another scraping sound, like someone was scraping the metal door with the tip of a knife and fingernails.
"This door won't hold for long. Brother, we still can't get out!" Xing Ruomiao called Shen Yunzhe.
"Shh, don't make noise." Shen Yunzhe said. He found that the mirror in the bathroom was covered with a black cloth. He pulled away the black cloth and saw himself in the mirror.
He looked around the bathroom through the mirror. Because it was a private room, the bathroom was closed on all sides and there was no exit at all. The only exit was now blocked. Shen Yunzhe thought about it and turned on the faucet. The clear water inside still looked like blood in the mirror.
Shen Yunzhe turned off the faucet in disgust.
The waiter's voice came from outside.
"Don't worry, guests. Catching food is also one of our special activities."
"We guarantee that all our ingredients are super fresh, and one bite will leave you with a delicious flavor all day long!"
“It’s up to the guests to decide how much to serve!”
Xing Ruomiao stepped back, "They really are treating players as food!"
Shen Yunzhe glanced at the door and continued to look in the mirror. At this moment, he vaguely saw an eye.
The eye was glued to the bathroom door, looking inside. At this moment, Shen Yunzhe discovered that there was a black eye not only on the door, but also on the black cloth he had just lifted. The eye in the mirror stared at him intently, and after making sure that Shen Yunzhe could see it, it bent up.
Like laughing.
At the same time, giggling sounds were heard outside the door, and the waiter kept laughing.
With a click, a piece of the door lock was pried off.
"Yun Xi!" Xing Ruomiao said, "Are we going to die here?!"
Shen Yunzhe still ignored Xing Ruomiao. He stepped directly on the black cloth and quickly took out a lighter from his pocket. Don't ask where the lighter came from. He just picked it up in the box. For him at this time, many small items were of great use.
In the eyes of Xing Ruomiao's confusion and horror, Shen Yunzhe directly set the black cloth on fire, and just by stepping on it, all four corners were set on fire at the same time.
The black cloth was burning fiercely, and the temperature in this small bathroom rose rapidly. Xing Ruomiao began to feel choked and she started coughing.
"Yun Xi? Ahem."
Before she could ask, a shrill scream came from outside the door.
It was the waiter screaming.
"Ah! My eyes, my eyes!" the waiter yelled. "How dare these two pigs hurt my eyes? Cook them now!"
"Damn it! My eyes!"
“It hurts, it’s so hot!”
The waiter wailed, and Shen Yunzhe listened to the sounds outside. His breathing was steady, and he stepped harder and harder. The fire soon burned his clothes, but Shen Yunzhe was completely unmoved. He let the flames lick his trouser legs and refused to retract his feet.
"The fire is burning you!" Xing Ruomiao rushed over and slapped the flames off his body.
She did not stop him because she was not stupid and knew very well that Shen Yunzhe must be doing something very important at the moment, especially when the waiter outside was shouting at her eyes and said they were very hot, and Shen Yunzhe lit the fire in the bathroom.
I slapped the flames hard, but they kept spreading.
"Don't use water!" Shen Yunzhe shouted, "That water is not clean!"
Xing Ruomiao hurriedly took off his coat and used it to extinguish the flames.
"It's so hot! So hot!" the waiter yelled outside, "Get out of my eyes!"
Xing Ruomiao was horrified to see that the black cloth under Shen Yunzhe's feet began to twist, as if it had life and wanted to break away from under Shen Yunzhe's feet, but Shen Yunzhe stepped hard on the cloth, and the flames burned. She now understood why Shen Yunzhe stepped on the cloth tightly when he lit the fire, and even refused to press it down with anything.
This thing can really run!
"What the hell is this?!"
"Look in the mirror."
Xing Ruomiao turned her head to look at the mirror, and the next moment she was even more horrified to find that Shen Yunzhe was stepping on an eye. It was obvious that Shen Yunzhe was using a lot of strength, but the eyeball in the mirror was intact. The flames began to burn the eye. There was also a similar eye hanging on the bathroom door on the other side, staring at them.
With a vicious look.
"Eye!"
"It's the waiter's eye." Shen Yunzhe saw that the flame was almost burned out, so he grabbed a mop handle from the bathroom door. When there was only one piece of cloth left, he pulled back his foot and smashed it down hard. The waiter's screams echoed outside, and the eye hanging at the door turned completely into pain.
The flames caught up the mop and burned the eyes under the mop.
After burning, Shen Yunzhe pushed the mop away. Click, the door lock was opened a little bit. Shen Yunzhe and Xing Ruomiao turned around and saw the guests' arms squeezing in through the crack of the door.
Almost in!
"Let's go!" Shen Yunzhe directly flipped over the washbasin in front of him and stretched out his hand to Xing Ruomiao.
Xing Ruomiao had no idea what Shen Yunzhe was trying to do, but she gritted her teeth and decided to trust Shen Yunzhe. She grabbed Shen Yunzhe's hand and followed him to the washbasin. With a bang, the bathroom door was pushed open, and the dead people came in one by one. Shen Yunzhe pushed Xing Ruomiao towards the mirror. Xing Ruomiao screamed and felt like she was falling from a very high place.
Bang, she fell to the hard ground, followed by the sound of Shen Yunzhe landing beside her.
Xing Ruomiao opened her eyes cautiously and was surprised to find that they were still in the bathroom, but there was no one in the bathroom. Shen Yunzhe was still patting his trouser legs after he had put out the fire.
She looked around blankly, then looked at the place where the black cloth had been burned before, but there was no trace of burns there.
what is going on?
Thinking of this, Xing Ruomiao sat up, but it didn't matter. The important thing was that she could see the mirror in front of her at a glance from this height.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and her mind went blank in an instant, as if she had been pickled in a vat of fear.
Countless faces were staring at her in the mirror. They were all the guests from before, including a waiter who was missing an eye. They huddled together, their eyes rolling around, and their hands constantly scratching in the mirror, as if they were filled with regret and anger to the extreme.
"Don't look anymore." Shen Yunzhe said, "Let's go out and take a look."
Xing Ruomiao subconsciously got up from the ground and followed Shen Yunzhe out. Outside the bathroom was a familiar private room, but this room was covered with thick dust. It was not as luxurious as the previous one, and there was no one there.
"Read the announcement." Shen Yunzhe said.
Xing Ruomiao took out his cell phone from his pocket, and the next moment he found a new prompt on the announcement.
[Congratulations to the players for discovering a new place: Mirror World. ]
[Mirror World Rules: You can enter the Mirror World every three hours. You enter the Mirror World through a mirror and must leave after three hours.]
[Note: The area leading into the mirror world is guarded by dedicated personnel.]
[Please use the mirror world properly to complete the task! ]
"Mirror World?!" Xing Ruomiao shouted in surprise, "No, Yunxi, how did you find out?!"
"The reflection in the mirror is different from the real world." Shen Yunzhe said as he walked. "I discovered this when I went to the bathroom on the first floor. The waiter was very nervous when I went to the bathroom. Afterwards, I used the broken mirror to shine on the guests and waiters inside to confirm that no one looked normal in the mirror."
"Can this determine that there is a mirror world?!" Xing Ruomiao opened his eyes wide.
No matter how she listened, she could never imagine that there was a mirror world, and that one could enter it through a mirror. What kind of thinking could come up with such a thing?!
"No." Shen Yunzhe pushed open the door of the box. "I just thought about it based on the logic of the game field. The goal of the game field is not to kill as many players as possible, but to return the media to their rightful place as much as possible, and to allow players to become media to erode the real world as much as possible."
"That is to say: we are not in absolute trouble."
This is completely inconsistent with their current game.
There is no place to rest, no food to eat, and you cannot stay in the corridor for a long time, but in the box you face 100% death, even though this is a game field with difficulty level 10.
So far, the only very strange thing that has not harmed the player is the mirror, so Shen Yunzhe also took a gamble, but he bet right.
Xing Ruomiao wanted to kneel down to him.
Is this the boss?! Can you even test this out?!
"Brother, tell me honestly, is this really just your third game?" Xing Ruomiao said, "I think you're calmer than any other player I've ever met."
"Thank you for the compliment. You can take it as me being handsome and awesome." Shen Yunzhe boasted calmly, his expression never changing. "Now let's go find a place with a mirror."
Shen Yunzhe thought to himself: If there was a person with special abilities who could hear other people's inner thoughts right now, he would definitely hear his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out.
He said it so calmly, but actually he was scared to death. His mind was full of what would happen if he made a wrong bet. He would definitely be gnawed to a bone by those dead men. Pretending to be calm and bragging in front of his companions was his last resort. After all, he was the most handsome!
Damn, why are you so narcissistic...
[Codename: Fraudster's personality issues, haven't you adapted to it after all this time? ]
Of course you need to adapt! After all, no one changes their appearance in one day. Do you think he is Martin?
He suppressed his rich inner thoughts deep in his heart, leaving only a calm expression on his face. The decoration outside was the same as that of the Happy Dumpling House, but it was obviously much older. Not only was it old, they could see some blood marks from dragging, blood stains and broken wooden boards everywhere.
In short, although there are no strange things here, the environment seems to be more in line with the setting of a "haunted house".
They went around all the places they could go, and then started looking for the mirror from box number one. They finally determined that there was a mirror in every box, but except for box number four, the mirrors in other boxes were black, not from here, but from the other side.
"It's not painted black, but the black cloth." Shen Yunzhe said: "All the mirrors in the boxes are covered with black cloth."
It was Shen Yunzhe who burned the black cloth in box number four and then opened the mirror in box number four, and flipped through the mirror into the mirror world.
"In other words: Actually, all eight boxes can lead into the mirror world, but they are all blocked by black cloth. We need to lift the black cloth from there to enter the mirror world normally. But there is an eye on the cloth. Did the waiter put his own eye on the black cloth?!"
"Each waiter had two faces and four eyes. One eye, one front and one back, was placed on the black cloth in different boxes. The remaining eye was used to see things." Shen Yunzhe recalled, "We were lucky to burn the black cloth in box number four. It probably didn't expect us to burn the black cloth at the time."
Xing Ruomiao thought for a moment, "So, should we go back and tell the other players about the existence of the Mirror World, and then open the mirrors in the other boxes?"
Shen Yunzhe nodded and said, "Let's go back and take a look first."
They returned to Box No. 4, but were surprised to find that Box No. 4 was different from when they left.
There was a new dish on the dusty table in box number four. It was a pig's head. The pig's head looked like it had just been cooked, still steaming and emitting a strong aroma.
Xing Ruomiao didn't dare to step forward, so Shen Yunzhe walked over. He found a pig's head placed in the middle of the table, but there were more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks around the table. Shen Yunzhe picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked it up twice. The pig's head was stewed so soft that it fell off the bone with just a pinch of chopsticks.
Bones make it easier to identify race.
"Don't worry, it's pork bones." Shen Yunzhe said.
Xing Ruomiao looked at Shen Yunzhe with an even weirder look in his eyes. "Master, you can cook? And you can even recognize pig bones?!"
"The difference between pig bones and human bones is obvious, especially since this is a pig's head. It would be strange if we couldn't recognize it." Shen Yunzhe put down his chopsticks. "But the most important question is why did a pig's head suddenly appear here?"
Shen Yunzhe walked to the bathroom. He pushed open the bathroom door and looked at the mirror in the blind spot where the mirror could not reach. The bathroom door in the mirror was still broken, and he could see outside through the door, but there seemed to be no one in the box. There was only a plate of cut meat placed alone on the table.
Shen Yunzhe looked at the dishes on the table thoughtfully, then turned to look at the pig's head on the table behind him.
The placement and angle are very consistent.
"Yun Xi!" Xing Ruomiao called him, "Look, there's something here!"
Shen Yunzhe heard his voice, turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Xing Ruomiao took a small notebook from the clothes hanger next to him. There was some handwriting on the notebook.
They opened the notebook and found that the owner should be a very organized person who likes to make plans. The first few pages are his daily plans.
Everything including study, living expenses and study abroad progress is proceeding in an orderly manner.
It can be seen that he lives a positive life and is loved by his classmates and teachers, so his sunny and cheerful life is also interspersed in the well-organized plan.
Shen Yunzhe flipped through the plans and saw a page with substantive content.
I'm graduating and will soon be going abroad for my PhD. I'm really sad to be away from my friends and family, so I'm inviting my professors and classmates over for a meal with me using my scholarship! This is so meaningful!
[As for the restaurant, I'd choose the recently popular Happiness Dumpling House. They say the food there is delicious, and everyone who's been there raves about it.]
The waiter was very enthusiastic and kept recommending their signature dish, 'braised pig's head', saying it was a must-order for graduation parties, as it was auspicious.
[How strange! Why order a pig's head for a graduation party?]
