Chapter 107 Funhouse Mirror



Upon entering the mirror passage on the right, Yin Zhu immediately noticed that her shadow had transformed into various shapes, some tall, some short, some fat, and some thin.

The reflection in the mirror shows only a change in appearance; the expression remains the same.

Suddenly, Yin Zhu saw the two girls who had been walking in front of her. However, their bodies were now twisted beyond recognition, but they seemed completely oblivious to what was wrong. They continued to stare at themselves in the mirror with fascination, saying smugly, "This is what I look like."

Seeing the changes in the other tourists, Yin Zhu inappropriately thought of her friend Lu Yunze from Earth.

Lu Yunze is an online friend, but that's not the point. The point is that she is a fanatical horror enthusiast who has a great passion for all things scary.

Unfortunately, her courage was at odds with her enthusiasm.

In Yin Zhu's words, Lu Yunze is a complete idiot with a huge addiction. Every time, he's the one who drags Yin Zhu to watch horror movies and play scary games, but he always ends up screaming in terror, ravaging Yin Zhu's ears.

Afterwards, Lu Yunze would apologize: "I'm sorry, but when humans see something terrifying, they instinctively cry for help, and I couldn't control myself!"

Compared to Lu Yunze, Yin Zhu was the complete opposite. Yin Zhu was a normal person too, and she would be scared when she saw jump scares (a common technique in movies/games where a ghost suddenly jumps onto the screen). But once Yin Zhu was scared, she would be so terrified that she couldn't scream.

In the eyes of many, this passive silence became proof of her calmness and courage.

But now, Yin Zhu's experience in this distorting mirror room is probably more terrifying and real than any horror movie Lu Yunze has ever seen.

Yin Zhu was so curious that if it were Lu Yunze instead of her here, would he shatter all the mirrors with a sonic attack? *Pfft*

Shaking her head, Yin Zhu tried to banish the chaotic thoughts.

Fortunately, the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear Yin Zhu's inner thoughts, so they only saw Yin Zhu stand there stunned for a moment, and then start to chuckle inexplicably.

Yin Zhu took a few more steps, and the mirrors here were clearly more distorted than before.

But none of this evoked any fear in Yin Zhu. After all, if you had a mirror ghost living next to you who was good at creating your projection by reflecting all kinds of mirrors, you would quickly become desensitized to the fear of mirrors.

Yin Zhu didn't completely avoid looking in the mirror; on the contrary, one could say she looked at each mirror very carefully.

This meticulous search differed from ordinary sightseeing; it was a search for a certain dark aura. Unfortunately, so far, all the shadows had remained normal, without any strange, exaggerated movements or bizarre reflections that seemed to suggest Yin Zhu was about to commit suicide.

Following the two girls ahead at a leisurely pace, Yin Zhu gradually noticed the problem.

When they walked up to an "S"-shaped mirror, Yin Zhu noticed that one of the girls had become exactly the same shape as the reflection in the funhouse mirror.

The completely transformed girl gazed at herself in the mirror with fascination, seemingly quite satisfied with her changes: "That's right... I'm naturally like this... This is who I am!"

"We're in a weird world already, can we stop worrying about our appearance?" Yin Zhu looked at the girl's "S-shaped figure" and was speechless, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

That kind of body shape has nothing to do with health and beauty anymore; it only reveals a distorted, inhuman proportion.

The girl accompanying her wasn't in much better spirits either, though her physical condition seemed somewhat normal; perhaps she hadn't encountered the funhouse mirror she was dreaming of.

Yin Zhu had some doubts. Funhouse mirrors could cause a certain degree of mental pollution to tourists, especially the more people wanted to see something, the more serious the pollution would be. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why they would say such things.

Everyone has some expectations about their appearance, so it's hard not to fall into those traps.

The other girl seemed completely oblivious to what was wrong with the "S-shaped" girl's mind. Instead, she quickly walked past a series of funhouse mirrors, watching her figure change in the mirrors until she stopped in front of one.

In the mirror, her body appeared wider, no longer so slender.

"Can I be this strong?"

"Really?"

"So this is what I really am like."

"I like it this way."

The girl started talking to herself in front of the funhouse mirror, as if someone was conversing with her. Yin Zhu couldn't hear anything, but the girl's reaction gave the impression of a devil's whisper.

These two people, one wants a curvaceous figure, the other wants to be strong and powerful...

So what do I want?

Yin Zhu subconsciously examined herself, and then quickly realized why she hadn't reacted to the figure in the mirror: because she wanted to find the Mirror Ghost!

The Haha Mirror Room is clearly a map where the Mirror Ghost has an advantage, just like the mirror array that Yin Zhu set up in the house in Jiayuan Community. Now that the Mirror Ghost has come here with him, shouldn't he be even more at ease?

Judging from the mirror ghost's reaction, it seems to have some conflict with the manager of Daydream Amusement Park.

Although it may be that the mirror spirit is unilaterally afraid of the other party.

However, precisely because of this, the Mirror Ghost would never betray them. Since the Mirror Ghost showed familiarity with Daydream Amusement Park, the reason it still can't contact Yin Zhu becomes somewhat intriguing.

Yin Zhu randomly picked up a funhouse mirror, leaned forward, and got closer to the mirror. She could clearly see the curve of the mirror, and she understood better why funhouse mirrors could present such different images.

Yin Zhu never regarded Jing Gui as a loyal subordinate or friend, because it was only loyal to the manager of the temporary apartment.

Moreover, Jing Gui clearly has some ulterior motives of his own.

Yin Zhu had previously ignored it because she was certain that its interests were aligned with hers, and there was no need for it to deliberately dig a hole for herself.

However, Yin Zhu always remembered one thing—don't label living beings with independent thoughts, because as the environment changes, they may make choices that are completely opposite to what they did before.

For example, what if a strange being who has long been subservient to others gains power one day and then develops a delusion of gaining freedom?

Especially after seeing Bai Hai in the amusement park, who was equally bizarre, he became the person in charge of a region, while Jing Gui was just a supporting character who followed Yin Zhu around, and sometimes even became a mouthpiece between Yin Zhu and the temporary apartment manager.

Is it really willing to accept this?

Looking at her reflection in the funhouse mirror, which was completely unlike her, Yin Zhu couldn't help but smile.

If you're not satisfied, then find a way to add fuel to the fire.
