I fear I will never regain my freedom.
But who can she blame? It was her own choice!
But on second thought, if the apocalypse really does arrive after tomorrow, then following Xia Tianqiong wouldn't be a bad choice. After all, he seems to know some things that others don't, and following him might allow me to survive longer.
Just like last night, without him, I would have become a dried-up corpse like my downstairs neighbor.
After some self-consolation, Jiang Yu felt much better and prepared to actively complete the task assigned by Xia Tianqiong.
First, I went online to check what supplies I should prepare if the apocalypse were to occur.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that there are many posts online teaching people how to cope with various post-apocalyptic scenarios, and even different survival strategies for different types of post-apocalyptic scenarios.
After reading several strategy posts, I followed the advice and took out online loans, overspent on my credit cards, and combined that with my own savings, amassed a total of nearly 400,000 yuan.
Then comes renting warehouses and purchasing various supplies.
She couldn't handle it all by herself, so she hired five deliverymen, gave them the shopping list, and asked them to go to the farmers' market to buy rice, flour, and cooking oil, to the food wholesale market to buy various food items, and to the pharmacy to buy daily medicines, etc.
If you buy enough items, the seller will deliver them to your door.
She can just wait at the warehouse entrance to receive the goods.
"He must be very satisfied that he completed the task in such a short time!"
As Jiang Yu thought to herself, she suddenly felt a small sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, Xia Tianqiong sent her a message on WeChat, asking for her bank card number, saying that she wanted to transfer money to her.
Without thinking much, I sent the card number.
In less than a minute, I received a bank card SMS notification that 200 million yuan had been deposited into my account!
Jiang Yu stared wide-eyed at her phone screen, counted several times to make sure she hadn't miscounted, and then quickly called Xia Tianqiong.
"How come you have so much money? You...you didn't rob a bank, did you?"
In her opinion, Xia Tianqiong could appear and disappear like a female ghost, and she really had the ability to rob a bank.
"Robbing a bank? That's a good idea, I'll consider it." Xia Tianqiong smiled faintly on the other end of the phone.
"..."
Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, "Where did so much money come from?"
"Don't worry about what others give you, just spend it freely. Your task is to spend all this money and turn it into survival supplies before tomorrow night. Oh, and stock up on more gold and silver paper."
After Xia Tianqiong finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone.
"What a hands-off manager!" Jiang Yu stood there, stunned, and couldn't help but complain, "So much money, in such a short time, how are we going to spend it?"
On the other side.
Xia Tianqiong was in a hurry to hang up the phone because Du Minggui had just left and rushed back.
"Master, I encountered a mirror ghost as soon as I went out. I have already tricked it and it will be here soon. Please get ready."
The voice of the gambling devil rang in his mind, and Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed to hear it.
The Mirror Ghost's "Mirror Space" is particularly useful; if one can form a contract with it, they will possess a portable space. Jiang Yu can store all the supplies she buys inside and carry them with her.
Xia Tianqiong quickly took out fifty taels of gold and rewarded the gambling ghost.
Then he grabbed some smaller gold ingots and put them in his pocket, went into the bathroom, and pretended to wash his hands in front of the mirror.
While washing, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
He looked up and saw his reflection in the mirror smiling strangely and waving at him.
The next instant, an invisible force surged forth, enveloping Xia Tianqiong's entire body and pulling him into the mirror.
The mirror surface suddenly became soft, like the surface of water.
First the head went in, then the shoulders and upper body, and then the whole person went in. Ripples spread across the surface of the mirror, then quickly disappeared.
If someone were to come here at this moment, they would find two identical people reflected in the mirror.
Thump!
Xia Tianqiong fell to the ground and looked up. The surroundings still looked like a bathroom, except that there was another version of herself standing next to her.
It is naturally a manifestation of the mirror image.
This space is a mirrored space, exactly the same as the bathroom outside.
"hello!"
Xia Tianqiong stood up, smiled, and extended her hand to shake hands with the other person.
It was like meeting an old friend; they were exceptionally warm and welcoming.
This surprised the Mirror Ghost.
A normal person should be afraid, terrified, and completely at a loss, so why does this human not have any of these emotions at all? Instead, he seems very happy to see me.
Aren't you scared?
The mirror image was quite surprised and reached out to shake hands with Xia Tianqiong.
"I'm not afraid, I'm actually looking forward to your arrival!"
Xia Tianqiong grabbed the other person and wouldn't let go. "Are you willing to sign a contract with me? I'm very rich. Follow me and you'll never lack money in the future."
With his other hand, he took out a few gold ingots from his pocket, held them in his palm, and brought them close to the mirror image of the ghost, a blatant temptation.
The mirror image suddenly widened its eyes, staring straight at the gold without blinking. "You really do have a lot of ghost money."
It heard from the gambler that the people living here have a lot of ghost money, so it came to harm people in broad daylight.
"How about it? Think about it. If you agree now, we can sign an equal contract."
Xia Tianqiong continued to tempt her, but it was best not to use force if possible.
After all, there are certain risks involved.
The mirror image stared at him, the smile on its lips gradually widening, but it was clearly a cold smile.
"Why should I sign a contract with you? Once you're trapped here and die, all your ghost money will be mine."
Its rules for death are very simple: people are trapped in a mirror space. If they cannot escape within ten minutes, they will die here.
The solution is simpler: just break the mirror to return to the real world.
It's easier said than done.
Because the mirror ghost will prevent you from breaking the mirror.
Xia Tianqiong, however, was not afraid. He had a way to shatter the mirror and break free from the rules of death.
However, he cannot do that now; his goal is to mirror the ghost itself, not to escape.
