(172) A problematic mirror



Liu Min stayed in Hong Baobao's studio for a long time, until Hong Baobao finished get off work.

Because Liu Min had adopted Hong Baobao as her daughter, she thought she should visit Hong Baobao's home to meet her family.

When Liu Min arrived, she had driven herself.

After get off work, Hong Baobao habitually wanted to go to Cheng Yaoyao's car, but Liu Min stopped her.

"Yaoyao, how about I go to Mom's car first?" Hong Baobao said apologetically to Cheng Yaoyao.

Cheng Yaoyao hummed in agreement and said, "Okay."

Cheng Yaoyao did not seem unhappy about this.

Anyway, it's only today. Aunt Liu has her own things to do and can't possibly stay by Hong Baobao's side every day.

Hong Baobao sat in the passenger seat of Liu Min's car, and Liu Min was in a very good mood.

While driving, Liu Min habitually plays music and hums along, making it clear to anyone that she's in a very good mood.

Along the way, Hong Baobao would chat with Liu Min every now and then.

Because Liu Min was driving, Hong Baobao didn't need to concentrate, so she looked out the car window aimlessly.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Hong Baobao suddenly saw a woman on the roadside. Although the woman was wearing a black baseball cap and dressed in all black, Hong Baobao recognized her at first glance.

That person was 99% similar to himself, whether it was his physique or anything else, they were very similar.

In this world, everyone is most familiar with themselves, and naturally, they are also most unfamiliar with themselves.

Another point is that when Hong Baobao saw that person, a very strong and strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.

That feeling was both strange and familiar.

"Mom, stop the car." Hong Baobao quickly said when she saw the person.

When Hong Baobao said this, her tone was very urgent. When Liu Min heard Hong Baobao's urgent tone, she thought something had happened, so she quickly stepped on the brakes.

"Mom, I'll be leaving for a bit." After saying this, Hong Baobao quickly opened the car door and got out.

After getting out of the car, Hong Baobao walked towards the person she had seen earlier.

It's unclear whether that person discovered Hong Baobao's presence, but when Hong Baobao chased after them, the person turned and left.

Hong Baobao only walked a little faster at first, but later on, she walked faster and faster, and even started running.

The person in front of you may seem to be walking slowly, but in reality, they are walking quite fast.

Hong Baobao was already quite fast, but that person was also very fast, and Hong Baobao felt that the speed was somewhat strange and abnormal.

However, she really couldn't figure out what was wrong with her at the moment.

Hong Baobao saw the woman turn a corner and walk into a small alley. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

The alley was deep and deserted; it looked like an abandoned alley.

After Hong Baobao went inside, she didn't see the woman. She slowed down and cautiously walked in.

Hong Baobao strained her ears, listening intently to the sounds coming from the alley, but it was very quiet.

Moreover, it's not just quiet here.

Hong Baobao continued walking inside. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she realized that she had walked a very long way.

Hong Baobao stopped, then turned around and looked behind her. What she saw surprised her.

She clearly felt that she had walked such a long way, but unexpectedly, she had only gone so far. This was really abnormal.

Moreover, Hong Baobao always had a gut feeling that something was off about this place.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

She has now realized that she cannot move forward from here at all.

Since that's the case, then she won't leave; she'll just go back and talk about it later.

However, when Hong Baobao started to back away, she found that she was still in the same place.

Well, now she was even more certain that there was indeed something strange about this alley.

We cannot move forward, nor can we retreat.

Hong Baobao looked to the left and right. She noticed that the lock on the left was broken, while the lock on the right was working.

After stroking her chin and thinking for a moment, Hong Baobao walked towards the door on the left.

After Hong Baobao went inside, she carefully examined the door lock and discovered that there wasn't even any dirt on it.

Normally, the lock on this door is broken, so it seems that no one lives here.

No one comes here often, so the lock must be frequently touched, which means it must be covered in dust.

But the truth is, there wasn't much dust accumulated on it.

It seems that this door lock is frequently tampered with.

It's quite intriguing that a broken lock is frequently touched.

With that thought in mind, Hong Baobao reached out, unlocked the door, and then walked inside.

Hong Baobao may seem casual, but in reality, she is very careful.

After all, it wouldn't be good if she were to be ambushed by someone.

She really cherishes her life.

The doors inside were all unlocked, and she walked right in.

As soon as she opened the door, a cloud of dust greeted her.

Hong Baobao quickly covered her mouth and nose to avoid inhaling dust.

She stood at the door for a while, and only went inside when the dust in the air had lessened.

After entering, Hong Baobao looked around the house. There was a lot of dust inside, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.

Hong Baobao wandered around the room, and suddenly stopped in front of a mirror.

This was supposed to be a perfectly normal mirror, but in reality, it was anything but normal.

Because when Hong Baobao stood in front of this mirror, there was no image of Hong Baobao in the mirror.

If Hong Baobao is a personification of a red envelope, then the reason she is not in the mirror is also illogical.

After all, this wasn't the first time Hung Bo-bo had looked in the mirror since she became a mother.

But this is the first time that no one can be seen in the mirror.
