Home (three)
The self in the mirror looked surprised and also stretched out his hand to look outside the mirror.
Xu Wei moved his neck and the bones made a clicking sound. In the past, his cervical spine had not been in good condition due to long-term desk work.
The person in the mirror moves in unison with her.
Everything was normal, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to undress.
The sound of water splashing.
The clothing was pulled down to the neck, the eyes were blindfolded, and the arms were temporarily bound.
Her vision fell into darkness, she peeled off her clothes, and heard a very subtle sound coming from behind her.
“Click, click.”
It started with a slight sound, as if testing whether it would attract attention under the sound of water.
Soon, the second and third sounds followed.
Xu Wei quickly put his clothes back on and turned off the hot water.
The clicking sound stopped.
She turned and looked at the mirror. The person in the mirror still maintained the same movements, staring coldly outside the mirror.
Xu Wei grinned, and the image also smiled with a pale face.
She raised her hand and waved, and the image waved back.
“Tsk.”
She lost her patience and covered the mirror with a towel.
When the towel was fully covered, Xu Wei caught a glimpse of something, raised his eyebrows, and then opened it again.
Under the dazzling light of the incandescent lamp, the only reflective object embedded in the wall was clear and bright, illuminating the narrow toilet space - the tightly closed black window for privacy protection, the toiletries rack and trash can attached to the wall, the cracks between the white tiles were filled with years of dirt, and the ground was undecorated cement.
There is no image of Xu Wei.
The person in the mirror disappeared.
“Pah.”
The light tube suddenly went out, the light source disappeared, and the cramped space fell into unspeakable darkness.
Fishy-smelling liquid dripped from the ceiling, and one or two drops fell on the exposed skin, causing slight stinging.
The dim moonlight shone through the dark window, only giving the objects a vague outline. Xu Wei saw a figure with disheveled hair gradually condensing in the mirror. With a slight cracking sound, the limbs of the black shadow broke through the mirror surface and crawled out in a twisted posture with its limbs turned over.
“Uh ah, uh ah ah…”
It screamed in pain, and before it could completely pass through the mirror, it trembled and grabbed at the person outside the mirror.
The same voice.
She had never cried so hard before.
Most of the black shadow had squeezed out in an instant, and its outstretched five fingers were about to touch the person. Xu Wei fumbled around and pulled out a slender weapon from the side of the squat toilet.
She took a long breath, picked up the weapon and thrust it at the shadow's face.
"Boo——"
The remaining air was squeezed out of the rubber end of the weapon, which deformed under the strong pressure and firmly grasped the black shadow.
Xu Wei shouted loudly, leaning on the toilet plunger and pushing it in with all his strength.
All I heard was the black shadow screaming "Ahhhhhhhhhh" and all the limbs that had just been stretched out were pushed back, and its head was still stuck in the plunger and couldn't be pulled out no matter how hard I tried.
Xu Wei took the time to press the switch, and the light finally returned to view.
She looked at the bloody female ghost on the other side of the mirror, who looked exactly like her, and the weapon working diligently on her head.
There it is, the common weapon of the infinite flow heroine - the toilet plunger.
The walls around her showed irregular charred marks. Although the female ghost in front of her looked similar to her, there was no detailed look at her body. There were cuts and gaps all over her body, and her hair was tangled and broken, as if it had been licked by flames.
It struggled in the mirror, causing the toilet plunger to tremble. Xu Wei thought for a moment, then moved the plunger across the mirror to block its exit. He opened the door and called out, "Zhou Ze."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze's voice came from a distance, and he quickly ran back to the door, "Do you need anything else?"
When the female ghost heard Zhou Ze's voice, she trembled visibly and the sound of her struggling immediately became quieter.
It was as if he wished he could turn into an inanimate object right where he was.
"Nothing, just a small matter. I want a rope, not too long." Xu Wei tried his best to keep his eyes blank and not look at his inhuman torso.
He stood still: "What's the matter?"
"fine."
Zhou Ze remained motionless, staring at Xu Wei, then moved closer, face to face with her.
The black pupils soaked in blood and tears were right in front of him: "Is there something wrong?"
Xu Wei: "...I want a rope."
"What's in the toilet?" He pressed his cold cheek against hers and squeezed forward as if he wanted to melt his eyeballs into her sockets.
Seeing the tentacles under his feet about to crawl onto his body again, Xu Wei sighed: "There is a ghost, but it's not a big problem, I have already..."
Zhou Ze's face gradually turned cold, and he forcefully pushed her away. The door he was blocking was easily broken open, and his bloated body filled the already small bathroom.
As soon as he came in, the female ghost began to struggle desperately, screaming and rolling in the mirror. Her flesh was cut and fallen off by the broken lenses. She gasped in pain but continued to struggle regardless.
Xu Wei's head hit the shelf and he saw stars. Before he could get any information from the female ghost, he saw all the tentacles under his feet rush into the mirror, wrapping the female ghost tightly like a cocoon, and tightening little by little amid its painful wails.
Within a few seconds, the female ghost who had a physical body just now turned into a pool of black and red blood, which flowed along the tentacles to the floor.
The air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood and a nauseating taste of burning flesh. Xu Wei could no longer bear it, so he grabbed the shower head above his head and turned on the floodgate.
She almost vomited, but for her own safety, she held it back.
Zhou Ze was splashed with water by her, his expression was a little dazed, as if he didn't react to what she was doing.
Xu Wei didn't know what she was doing. She noticed that her behavior was abnormal, but she thought it was reasonable.
The sound of water is rushing.
After a while, Zhou Zele raised one of his tentacles and rubbed Xu Wei's hand: "Wife, are we taking a bath together?"
Xu Wei lowered his head and washed every corner stained with blood without saying a word.
She was now certain that this so-called husband had not shown any "love" for her.
The female ghost in the mirror who looks exactly like her obviously also has a story, but the plot was interrupted by Zhou Ze's sudden entry, so this story is likely to be related to him.
In addition, the identity of the long-haired ghost under the bed in the bedroom remains a mystery. There are also inexplicable noises in the house from time to time, which are simply evil ghosts holding a meeting.
The most evil ghost should be Zhou Ze in front of him. After all, when he appears, other ghosts will consciously keep silent and wish to disappear from this world.
Xu Wei was very curious about how the dark clouds pulled her into this world.
This copy looked similar to the system copy, but it was full of contradictions and oddities. It was likely that some modifications had been made to the system copy—modifications that it believed would be able to defeat her.
As soon as she came in, whether it was the extremely short intervals between the ghost scares, Zhou Ze's suppression of strength, or the seemingly familiar and normal environment that pretended to have returned to real life, all pointed to one purpose - the dark clouds were increasing little by little, trying to challenge the limits of her mental endurance.
In fact, when she was entangled by Zhou Ze, she did have an urge to end it all, and this feeling was so strong that she could only barely suppress it - it was obvious that her spirit had gradually collapsed in the series of bizarre situations.
Xu Wei is not a fearless superman, she just has a high mental threshold and will still panic when she sees distorted ghosts. However, as a player of horror games, her experience in dealing with these things enables her to deal with them calmly while being afraid.
What's worse, the pollution index here is probably higher than she thought.
The bloody smell became stronger and stronger, as if the water could not wash away the stain, but instead had a volatilization and amplification effect, expanding the disgusting smell thousands of times.
Zhou Ze simply removed the bathroom door, pushed it down, and walked out with wet steps.
Xu Wei had no time to be pretentious and took a quick shower.
After changing her clothes, she returned to the living room. The smell of blood was still lingering in her nose. She couldn't tell whether it was originally in the room or was inevitably contaminated by staying in the bathroom for too long.
Zhou Ze sat on the sofa, holding the baby and coaxing him to sleep.
Xu Wei picked up the vegetable bags scattered on the coffee table, counted the meat and vegetables, arranged them, and stuffed them into the refrigerator.
She put on an apron and washed the rice and the pot.
"Wife, you are so virtuous. Our daughter must be as virtuous as you in the future."
Zhou Ze muttered to her in a sticky voice.
Xu Wei took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to reply with "dear".
The rice cooker started working, and the other person was still chattering. The words he uttered seemed to have a polluting nature. She could only look up and stare at the cabinet door on top of the stove in a daze.
A shadow flashed across the gap under the cabinet door.
Here we go again.
Xu Wei lowered his eyes and sighed.
She put down the eggs in her hand, prepared herself mentally, and opened the cabinet door.
The light in the cabinet suddenly became bright, and Xu Wei's height was just enough to see the bottom floor of the cabinet.
Her pupils contracted as she came face to face with her tragically dead self.
His neck was twisted, he lay sideways, his tongue slipped out of his wide-open mouth, his whole body was folded into a shape that an ordinary person could not do, and he was stuffed into a cupboard that could only accommodate dishes.
Xu Wei closed the cabinet door, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
She began to wonder if the house was filled with dead bodies.
Zhou Ze seemed to be unaware of the noise in the kitchen and was still teasing the baby.
Xu Wei quickly opened the cabinet door and took a look.
Still here.
Motionless, dead.
She couldn't bear it.
A high pollution threshold means that the degree of influence by ghosts is reduced, but it does not mean that she can ignore the bodies of the tortured people.
What's more, the corpse looked like her own.
"Wife, is the meal ready?" Zhou Ze's voice appeared at this moment.
Xu Wei was startled, and reflexively gripped the spatula and heated the pan with oil.
It was only when the eggs were cracked into the pot that she suddenly reacted and trembled all over.
It looks exactly like "her" in the bathroom just now.
"Wife?"
She immediately went back to stirring the eggs.
"It smells so good, even the egg fried rice smells so good," Zhou Ze came up to her again without her noticing, rubbing her face, "But honey, can we eat something else next time? I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made last time."
Xu Wei looked at the burnt eggs in the pot, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
No, she can’t cook, let alone make sweet and sour pork ribs.
Before...it was always others who did it for her.
She went to other places for a long time, the people there were nice, and she grew a lot.
Is it the previous company?
"Wife, why don't you say anything?" Zhou Ze took two sets of dishes and chopsticks from her side and washed them.
"I, I'm not hungry." She said with difficulty.
"What should I do? If you don't eat, I will be angry."
He looked at her, and tears of blood seeped out of his eyes again.
