They walked to a low-rise bungalow. On the door beam hung a rickety plaque with the words "Haunted House" written in red. Many amusement parks have haunted houses, but most are crudely made and are just for show.
The man lifted the thick cloth curtain, and Wang Lina walked in first, followed by Xu Yao. The scene inside the door was very different from what he had imagined, which surprised him.
Not only was there no dark atmosphere and weird props, but it was dazzlingly bright. There were mirrors distributed irregularly around, but they reflected each other at tricky angles, reflecting countless figures.
There was no light source, and no sense of the size of the space. Hundreds of mirrors divided the space into very complicated parts. Xu Yao didn't know how the young woman knew where to go. She walked without hesitation. Xu Yao just followed her, passing through the mirrors.
Xu Yao walked behind her and saw a faint white object flashing behind her neck.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Wang Lina, who is the man with you?"
Wang Lina stopped and turned slowly. She turned around in the countless mirrors behind her and raised her head with a proud and elegant look: "Captain Xu, don't ask again. I won't tell you."
She raised her hands and spread them out, as if showing off her work to him: "We are all people who design death."
She stood in the mirror, proud like a noble queen, looking down at her kingdom and people, and this carefully designed mirror house will become the next brand new stage of death, destined to become a tomb to bury hope and glory.
After Wang Lina finished speaking, she turned around again and slowly walked into the depths of the mirror house.
They shuttled between the mirrors for about two or three minutes. Suddenly, Wang Lina's figure flashed, and she took a few quick steps and suddenly disappeared from Xu Yao's sight.
Xu Yao was startled, and he immediately chased after her. Turning to the side, he saw Mo Xiaoqing in front of him, tied to a chair with her hands tied behind her back, blindfolded, sitting in the middle of the mirror.
Wang Lina was holding a gun in her hand, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the back of her head.
Seeing that Mo Xiaoqing was dressed neatly and cleanly, and did not seem to have suffered too much, Xu Yao still called out worriedly, "Xiaoqing!"
Mo Xiaoqing raised her head abruptly, and shook her head around because she could not see, and her body struggled unconsciously, "Captain Xu, is that you?"
Xu Yao screamed loudly, "Now I'm here alone, what exactly do you want? Just say it!"
Mo Xiaoqing began to struggle violently, "Captain Xu, leave me alone!"
Xu Yao was about to speak when suddenly the mirror wall of the glass room moved quickly again. In an instant, Xu Yao was completely isolated in a space surrounded by mirrors.
He shouted in panic and used his gun to smash the glass wall in front of him, but there was no trace of Mo Xiaoqing at all. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet...
-
He Shenming, who had been controlling everything in the monitoring room, suddenly saw Xu Yao's car disappear. No matter how he located it, he couldn't find it.
He began to panic. Over the years, He Shenming tried to use all his strength to protect Xu Yao.
He Shenming was too afraid that this time, the mastermind would succeed.
So, he took off the earphones on his ears, quickly put on his coat, got into a car and drove to his destination.
He Shenming followed Xu Yao's mobile phone location and came to the glass house. He pushed open the door and walked in without looking back.
When he walked in, everyone was dumbfounded, because there were mirrors standing on all sides of his room, reflecting countless of him. The mirrors were folded and placed like screens, forming a winding maze.
He Shenming couldn't help but start calling Xu Yao softly while walking, and then checked the location of his mobile phone. Xu Yao was indeed very close to him.
"Xu Yao, can you hear me? If you can, please answer."
He Shenming walked straight into the winding maze of mirrors.
After he walked in for about five minutes, he suddenly heard the sound of a mirror being pushed behind him. He quickly covered his waist with his hands, pulled out his pistol, turned around, and fired at the sound with both hands holding the pistols upright.
But when he turned around, he found that there was still only his own shadow. Not long after, the room returned to peace.
"Hello, Deputy Director He, we meet again." Suddenly, a strange male voice came from behind the mirror.
He Shenming turned around and pointed the gun in his hand at the mirrors around him, aiming at them one by one.
However, the sound seemed to echo throughout the entire mirror room, and there was no way to know where it came from.
"He Shenming, how about we make a deal?"
He Shenming realized that the voice came from behind him. He turned around immediately and really saw a man with a mask behind the mirror.
He was wearing a black robe from head to toe, and his face could not be seen at all. All he could see was that he was very tall.
He Shenming calmed himself down and answered calmly, "How is the deal?"
"Between your life and five lives. What do you think of this deal?"
He Shenming was so shocked that he couldn't answer for a while.
"You should know my methods. I will definitely do what I want to do. How do you think Xu Yao suddenly lost contact with you? That's because I let him get rid of your surveillance.
In fact, you are all the same kind of people. You think you care about others and ignore yourself. You are all foolish people who walk into your own trap!"
He Shenming asked in a loud voice, "Since you said a deal, then fine. I want to know their situation now, are they alive or dead?"
"Of course." After the masked man finished speaking, he clapped his hands in the air. Suddenly, the mirrors around He Shenming began to shake left and right, and the space also changed.
Suddenly, the square made of mirrors appeared in front of him, and a person was tied to the chair in each square.
He Shenming looked up and saw that they were indeed the kidnapped people. His subordinates lined up in order: Xu Yao, Mo Xiaoqing, Liu Xiaobo, Huang Jie, and Lao Tan.
Xu Yao, who was sitting on a chair, looked up and saw his master, and began to shout anxiously: "Master, save me. Save me quickly."
"Deputy Chief He, don't worry about us, send the location and bring the police here."
Unexpectedly, the masked man started to talk again: "Deputy Chief He, think about it, there are people in here that you have always wanted to protect, and there are others who you have always watched grow up.
It is actually worth it to use one person's life to exchange for five people's lives. As long as you gently pull the trigger of your own pistol,
I will set them free."
