Chapter 88 Strange Things, Strange Things
Yu Sheng leaned in front of the mirror and looked more carefully at the vague "second reflection" in the mirror. The image superimposed in the mirror gave him the feeling of the reflection of a glass window at night. The scenery outside the window and the shadow on the window glass were mixed together. The dark cave and the snow outside the cave entrance seemed to exist somewhere on the opposite side of the mirror, but it was difficult to see clearly and there were many shadows.
Irene quickly climbed up Yu Sheng's body and onto his shoulders. She held his head and looked at the mirror on the wall curiously. After a long while, she muttered, "Could it be that the snow was 'blown' over from the other side of the mirror?"
"You can see it too?" Yu Sheng looked at Irene in surprise.
"Of course, why is that surprising?" Irene felt a little puzzled, "I'm not blind."
Hu Li on the side nodded as soon as Sheng opened his mouth: "My benefactor, I can see it too."
"Uh," Yu Sheng scratched his head, "It's mainly because I've been dealing with Little Red Riding Hood and Li Lin recently. I always feel that what I can see may not be seen by others. I'm a little oversensitive."
As he spoke, he quickly weighed the issue in his mind for two or three seconds, then he carefully reached out his hand and tried to touch the surface of the mirror.
He still remembered that the last time he touched the mirror, it reflected a strange ruin, a shattered puppet and a huge monster made of shadows that died together in the center of the ruins - so what about this time? What kind of changes will the mirror produce? Irene immediately grabbed Yu Sheng's hair and watched his actions nervously: "Hey, be careful, what if something goes wrong..."
"It hurts, it hurts... Let go of my hand first!"
"Oh, oh okay, I was a little nervous so I subconsciously..."
The little doll loosened its fingers belatedly, and Yu Sheng's fingertips touched the mirror at this moment.
It was very cold, just like touching ice directly, but apart from the unusually cold feeling, the image in the mirror did not change at all.
"It seems... nothing is wrong?" Irene also plucked up the courage to reach out and touch the mirror in front of her, "My hands are just a little cold."
Yu Sheng hummed, retracted his fingers, and looked at the mirror with a frown. At this moment, he noticed that the superimposed images in the mirror began to fade away gradually. After just a few breaths, the scene of the cave entrance with flying snowflakes disappeared without a trace.
Only the normal scene in the room remained.
Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then reached out to touch the mirror and found that the icy cold temperature was gone and it had returned to its normal temperature.
"My benefactor," Hu Li watched from the side for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Was this mirror like this before?"
"Something has always been wrong. Occasionally, a landscape from nowhere will be reflected in the room," Yu Sheng said casually, his tone solemn. "But before, it only showed some unusual scenes, never like today... There was even snow in the room, and an iron lump that fell from somewhere fell to the ground."
As he spoke, he glanced again at the strange metal device he had just picked up from under the table.
The snow in the corner had melted, and there were still water marks on the floor. The black lump of iron was still in his hand. The strange image in the mirror disappeared, but these things that seemed to have "come out" of the mirror... did not disappear like an illusion, but remained in the real world.
It's just like what Irene always says: It's really evil.
"I, I'll sleep in your room today!" Irene hugged Yu Sheng's head tightly, her small body obviously a little tense. "It's okay to sleep on a chair or a table! Anyway, I absolutely don't want to live in this room!"
"You don't have to tell me that I don't plan to let anyone live in this room anymore," Yu Sheng said as he pulled Irene's hand off his head. "There's something wrong with this room. Don't open the door without me around in the future."
Irene and Hu Li nodded immediately.
"Besides, even if you don't want to sleep in this room, you can also sleep in the same room with Hu Li." Yu Sheng then took Irene off his shoulders and looked at this guy seriously, "Why do you have to stay in my room?"
"The tail monster will use its tail to whip people when it sleeps!" The little puppet immediately fluttered in the air, "You kicked me and at most I fell to the ground, but when she swung her tail at me, I was completely stunned. Didn't you see it?"
Then there was another series of non-stop beeps, about how she didn't even have her own room, how she was ignored because of her small stature, how she didn't have her own bed, and how she was driven around at night - dolls don't need to breathe, and she kept beeping non-stop, making people's heads buzz.
Yu Sheng even wanted to stuff this guy directly into Hu Li's tail - but considering that this puppet would definitely cause a lot of trouble later, he just thought about it.
Then he picked up the beeping doll and took Hu Li out of the strange room. He turned around and carefully locked the door, and pushed it several times to confirm.
"My benefactor, do you want me to guard this door at night?" Seeing Yu Sheng's worried look, Hu Li whispered beside him, "If there is any movement inside, I will call you."
Yu Sheng immediately imagined a nine-tailed fox lying in the hallway guarding the door, and immediately shook his head: "That's not necessary, this room has been weird for a long time anyway."
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He put Irene on the ground and took out the new cell phone he had just received from the Secret Service.
Irene finally stopped beeping and looked at Yu Sheng's actions curiously: "What do you want to do?"
"For weird things, find weird experts. I'll post a question on 'Border Communications'. What if someone knows about this thing?" Yu Sheng said as he studied the functions of the software. "This thing should have an option to upload photos... Those detectives and investigators who go to all kinds of weird places all day long must use this function... Hey, there it is, it really exists."
As he spoke, he held his mobile phone in one hand and the strange metal device in the other, took several photos of it from several angles, and then posted them on the message wall of the public channel.
Then he thought about it again, searched through several preset channel lists, and found two channels that seemed to be related: "Antiques and Curiosities Discussion Group" and "Abnormal Phenomena Discussion Group". He also posted the photo there and made a short message below, imitating the information posted by others:
"Unknown object, made of metal, no corrosive or living properties found, found in a room, it seemed to have snowed when it was found. In addition, it is suspected to be related to a mirror that can reflect distant scenery."
Yu Sheng originally wanted to write "picked it up at home", but he deleted it as soon as he wrote it, because he thought about it and felt that ordinary people might not find this thing in their homes, nor would they find snow in a closed room - No. 66 Wutong Road is a special place, and its secrets should not be revealed too much.
Yu Sheng felt that he still had the common sense of a normal person.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Will anyone reply?" Irene climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulder again very skillfully, and curiously looked at the content on the phone screen. "There are only a few photos, and the description is pitifully short - I saw that other people's posts have at least a few hundred words of explanation, and some even have videos..."
"I don't have much information to write down here," Yu Sheng sighed, "You talk about the surrounding environment, it's just a room, you talk about its own strange characteristics, I don't feel anything when I hold it in my hand."
"That's true..."
The little puppet muttered.
Yu Sheng returned to the living room and watched TV with Irene and Hu Li while waiting for a reply from the "Border Communication". He waited until the evening when he suddenly received a message alert.
After opening it, it turned out to be a reply from a user named "Evil Disciple Three Thousand" in the "Ancient Objects Discussion Group": "May I ask what the specific environment of the discovery is like? Is it in a foreign land? What type of foreign land is it? Are there any intelligent creatures in the foreign land, or traces left by intelligent creatures?"
Looking at this series of questions, Yu Sheng was a little confused, but at least this was the only "colleague" who had noticed his message so far, and it was also the first time he, as a "spiritual detective", had communicated with a stranger on this platform. With a certain eager mentality, he quickly edited the message:
"It's a foreign land, a residential building, and the environment is just like an ordinary modern residential building," Yu Sheng typed while looking up and looking around, "It's quite peaceful, and there are no monsters. As for intelligent creatures——"
He stopped and looked with a strange expression at Irene who was sitting on his lap and Hu Li who was combing his tail carefully.
"Intelligent creatures."
Irene reached out and grabbed Yu Sheng's phone. After taking a look, she looked up and said, "Do you really think anyone can answer your question? The Secret Service didn't even know about the existence of No. 66 Wutong Road a few days ago. Why are you so serious about chatting about this with a stranger who came from nowhere?"
"I know, but it's free to ask, what if?" Yu Sheng understood very well, "Besides, maybe no one knows what happened at No. 66 Wutong Road - but this thing that suddenly fell into our house may have come from 'outside', and it is possible that someone may recognize it."
Irene thought about it, said "Oh", and continued watching TV.
Yu Sheng's cell phone vibrated again soon.
It was still a reply from "Three Thousand Evil Disciples": "I have never heard of such a foreign land. Your description is indeed a bit bizarre... But this thing is interesting. It seems to be man-made, but the inscription on the corner is very strange. Maybe there are experts in the 'Academy' who will be interested."
