"What are you doing? Let me go, ahhhh!"
The closer the body got to the mirror, the sharper and harsher Xiaohong's voice became, and the whole ghost became visibly panicked.
However, her reaction further confirmed Tang Xinjue's guess. Just when the rubber head was about to pull out the mirror, the force infused into the toilet plunger suddenly increased to the extreme, and a wet female ghost's head was forcibly pulled out of the mirror.
Xiao Hong was still screaming: "You will regret this! I will make you suffer a life worse than death... Gululu..."
The howling was drowned out by the water gushing out of the rubber head.
Tang Xin Jue raised the corner of his mouth, pulling up a smile without a smile: "How boring it is to hide in the mirror and shout. Let's talk face to face and settle all the new and old grudges together--"
"Gululu! Gululu!..."
The neck and arms connected to the head were also pulled out of the mirror. Xiaohong finally felt a sense of crisis and gave up cursing and tried to retract her hands. However, a strong force immediately clamped her arms and pressed her down to the sink.
Tang Xin Jue: "If you keep struggling, the next time the toilet is pulled, it might be your hair."
Xiaohong: “…”
Disfigurement or baldness, that is the question.
But she soon had no time to think about this problem. Tang Xinjue had already ruthlessly pulled out half of her body, and then the toilet plunger turned forcefully, pressing her head down into the sink.
The toilet plunger tried to swallow the ghost, but the ghost's strength level exceeded the upper limit of its menu. After failing, it spat out a few strands of rotten seaweed-like hair.
Xiaohong: Alpaca, I am disfigured and bald.
Tang Xin Jue placed his hands on the plastic rod and whispered, "If I'm correct, one of your abilities should be the ability to imitate the examinee. When you succeed, not only will you have the same physical appearance as the examinee, you'll also share their life. If you get hurt in the mirror, the person you're imitating will also suffer the same injury."
This is also why after transforming into Tang Xin Jue, Xiao Hong suddenly made a self-harming move - ghosts can survive even if they are broken into a hundred or eighty pieces, but once a person is determined to have his head and body separated, he will not be able to survive.
At this point, Tang Xin Jue's eyes fell on the ghost girl's arms: "Since you can imitate us, then if you disassemble your imitated body, can we use it as well?"
Xiaohong: “???”
She regained her strength and tried to look up, wanting to take a look at this disgusting pervert.
Tang Xin Jue was already measuring the length of his arm: "With the sharpness of the toilet plunger now, it may not be impossible to cut it off..."
Zheng Wanqing, who had just lost a hand and was about to be given a replacement, said: "...Wait, wait!"
She shook her arm. After the spray stopped the bleeding, a scab quickly formed on the cross-section of the wound. Although it was still frightening, it was much better than when it was bleeding continuously at the beginning.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, Zheng Wanqing's lips were a grayish-white color, and her blood-soaked body looked just as miserable as Xiaohong's. However, this did not prevent her from glaring at Xiaohong with her naturally European double eyelids, her sharp and focused gaze fixed on her.
"I don't want to use her hand."
Haha, humans are just so hypocritical. Xiaohong rolled her eyes in disdain through her hair.
Immediately, the beautiful girl spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "Chop the monster into pieces and freeze them into ice cubes like the remains of the phantom demon. Can I wear them on my body as enchanted armor?"
She couldn't find any armor that suited her needs in the student mall; it was too expensive.
Feeling the burning gaze from the side, Xiaohong: "..."
Is there any normal person in your dormitory 606?
Zhang You tried to dissuade him, "We've just entered the dungeon. If we attack the dungeon NPC now, it might affect the plot. Otherwise, we should first force her to get more information about the dungeon, and then we can attack her later."
As soon as the words fell, a faint female voice floated out from the sink where the hair was piled up: "I'm not deaf."
…
In the silent air, Xiaohong slowly raised her arms and patted the sink twice.
Hitting the ground during a fight means admitting defeat due to lack of strength.
This time, Tang Xin Jue didn't need to pull her anymore. She crawled out of the mirror by herself, her wet red skirt hugging her legs, and she curled up on the sink with a very resentful look on her face.
"What do you want to ask?"
After coming out of the mirror, Xiaohong's ghostly feeling became much less gloomy, and the oppressive feeling she gave people also decreased.
Tang Xin Jue leaned against the sink and studied it carefully. "The space within the mirror will increase your strength. Once you leave the mirror, your strength will decline."
Facing the female ghost's angry gaze, Tang Xinjue nodded again, "It shouldn't be just that. After all, according to the rules, you should have the home advantage throughout the entire instance. So what really scares you isn't leaving the mirror, but leaving it before fulfilling my death conditions."
Xiaohong appears in her mirror at the beginning, proving that she was chosen as the first target to be killed. According to the plot of the movie, killing her is the task of the ghost in the mirror.
"According to the normal plot, I should be dragged into the mirror, your strength will be enhanced, and then you will kill the next person..."
It was just unfortunate that Tang Xinjue's ability just happened to suppress Xiaohong, and because they were old acquaintances, he guessed the other party's ability in advance as soon as they met, so that now the situation is completely reversed.
Ghosts that no longer have information gaps are much less dangerous, just like horror games that have been spoiled in advance.
Xiaohong rolled her eyes and said, "You've already said everything. What else can I say?"
Tang Xinjue's eyes darkened. "No, Shang Yinghong, there's a lot more you can say. For example, how to restore my roommate's arm to normal, or how to end the dungeon without triggering the death condition."
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes again, "Don't call me that name! Humph, if I were still in the mirror right now, this would also be a death condition... Oh, provided that the person outside is not you."
The ghost girl suddenly felt that life was dull. "As for your roommate's arm, what does it have to do with me? I didn't remove it, so of course I can't give it back to her. Even if you really cut off my arm, you can't put it back on hers unless you can perform surgery on the spot... Wait, you're not a medical student, are you?"
It nervously surveyed the surroundings, then lazily retreated after seeing that the four didn't look like they were about to pull surgical equipment from their pockets. "That's all I can say. Even without me, are you safe? Hehehe, the real difficulty in this dungeon is the plot."
"Will the story end if you don't die?"
Seeing the four people silent, a malicious, provocative smile appeared on the female ghost's pale face again. Tang Xinjue stared at her expressionlessly for a few moments before suddenly saying, "The so-called plot, as shown in the movie, is that characters are killed one after another by the mirror ghost."
"But logically, this plot doesn't make sense when transferred to a dungeon. Especially in a C-level dungeon, if all the candidates must be killed according to the procedure before the end, then I can reasonably suspect that they are trying to trick us with the difficulty."
"So looking at it from another perspective, if each character's death is a [step], and a statistical comparison of the death process of each person in the movie is conducted, it can be broken down into two actions: something comes out of the mirror, and something enters the mirror."
The female ghost reaches out from the mirror and drags the target into the mirror, marking the end of a link.
Following Tang Xin Jue's line of thought, Zhang You's eyes lit up: "...But the movie doesn't specify who can enter and exit this part!"
In other words, if the ghosts coming in and out are all female ghosts themselves, can we still judge that the plot is completed and the level is passed reasonably?
The author has something to say: Xiaohong: Thanks for the invitation, the world is not worth it
