Chapter 35 Maintenance Worker Li xx
The brave girl turned her head and looked at Lu Jiamu, doubtful and uncertain: "Did you... make an appointment?"
Lu Jiamu put away his expression and looked at his pocket watch again.
They've been in here for ten minutes now.
Although the boss said there would be real NPCs, the boss doesn't look like a living person, so how could the NPC he was talking about be a living person?
The boy in front of me also said: "This joke is not funny at all..."
In the mirror fragments, the small black and white hand was still tightly grasping the girl whose neck was broken. It did not let go and continued to exert force, leaving dents on the girl's neck.
The three people soon realized that this didn't seem like a spoof, it was too realistic.
The boy asked in shock: "Is it... someone dead? Is there something wrong with the prop?"
The girl approached her best friend slowly with fear, probed with her fingers tremblingly, then let out a short scream and quickly backed away.
Lu Jiamu reminded her: "Don't touch the mirror."
The girl stopped backing away in fear.
The only difference between the girl just now and them was that she saw a red person, then stepped back and bumped into the mirror.
The ghost may be in the mirror.
She looked at Lu Jiamu: "Aren't you a staff member?"
Lu Jiamu shook his head and glanced at the little hands reflected in the broken mirror: "Let's go."
The boy at the front still asked in disbelief: "Is it really not a conspiracy between you two?"
Lu Jiamu shook his head and said, "Trust me."
When Wang Biao heard this, he immediately picked him up.
This time, Lu Jiamu did not dare to touch the mirror again. Instead, he used a difficult acrobatic or pyramid-like move, and with the cooperation of Wang Biao and his amazing balance, he climbed onto Wang Biao's shoulders and stood up by stepping on his shoulders.
Lu Jiamumi looked down, quickly glanced around, and saw a black figure whose details could not be seen clearly in the mirror maze in the distance.
"Sure enough, there are NPCs. I can already see one." After observing for a few seconds, Lu Jiamu propped up his glasses, "But it seems to be lost in the maze, and it's still far away from us."
"Don't worry about it for now." Lu Jiamu jumped down, "But there may be more than one NPC here, let's go quickly."
The brave girl pointed at the one with a broken neck and said, "What about her?"
"The haunted house has started to become haunted. We can't stay any longer." Lu Jiamu responded, "Let's go out and find the boss first."
The people in front were still a little reluctant to accept this surreal statement, but they also realized at the same time that something unexpected might have really happened.
If they don't get out immediately, nothing can be done.
As she was speaking, Xuanxuan suddenly let out a short scream: "Ah!"
The boy immediately hugged her and said, "Xuanxuan, I'm here. What's wrong, Xuanxuan?"
Xuanxuan turned her head sharply and looked at the mirror beside her. She pointed her finger in fear and trembling: "Red...red person!"
"I saw a red man! Am I going to die too?!"
But in the direction she pointed, only a few people's pale green faces were reflected.
The boy immediately comforted her: "No, no... There is nothing there, you must be too nervous and saw it wrong."
Lu Jiamu glanced at the mirror and asked, "Did you see it out of the corner of your eye?"
"Yes. He was right beside me when I saw him, but he disappeared as soon as I turned my head." Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Little brother...you haven't seen him before, have you?"
“When I came in, I did seem to have seen it once.”
Xuanxuan felt relieved when she heard that Lu Jiamu had also seen the red shadow but was still alive.
"It seems that the boss has invited a lot of NPCs." Lu Jiamu pinched his chin, "This should be another NPC, and he is not lost."
But the characteristics of this red ghost are very obvious.
Including the time Lu Jiamu saw it, it has appeared three times, but each time it was only caught in the corner of the eye. If the black and white hand in the mirror belonged to it, it did not act immediately at the beginning, but waited until the moment when they all turned their eyes away.
This already shows that this ghost, apart from being triggered by touching the mirror, is very likely unable to appear in their normal field of vision.
It can only appear in a visual blind spot such as a mirror behind everyone, and can only be captured occasionally at the limit of vision such as the corner of the eye.
As to whether it has any other abilities, it is not yet known.
“We took turns keeping a view behind us and walking fast.”
Now they have gone deeper into the maze and have walked more than halfway. As long as they continue to take the most correct path, they will be able to get out in ten minutes.
Lu Jiamu didn't want to waste any more time because he didn't know the way, so he immediately gestured to the people in front of him to make way, and then he walked past them and came to the front.
He knew the location of every mirror and walked much faster than the boy.
Because they took turns keeping their sight behind them, they soon discovered that the mirror actually began to move slowly after they passed by.
The brave girl said in fear: "Mirror... the mirror can really move?"
Although Lu Jiamu had said something like "The mirror does have a mechanism" before, she really thought at the time that it was an excuse for him to remember the wrong way.
The mirror began to move again.
Lu Jiamu rolled his eyes, then turned back: "Trust me."
Wang Biao is not behind him now.
The boy behind him caught his gaze and pointed at himself: "Me?"
Lu Jiamu nodded.
The boy had no choice but to accept his fate and pick him up, holding his breath and lifting him up as hard as he could.
Although Lu Jiamu was relatively thin, an adult man of this size couldn't be that light even if he was just bones.
The boy felt like he was being stepped on by Lu Jiamu on the shoulders and was about to be shortened.
Lu Jiamu looked down from above and squinted his eyes to look around, but he didn't see the lost NPC anymore.
However, he didn't really want to look for the other party. After rechecking the environment, he immediately jumped down and ran forward.
Just after turning a few corners, Lu Jiamu saw a dark-skinned man running towards him from the opposite direction. He almost collided head-on with him, but luckily he braked in time.
It was a tall, thin man in work clothes, holding a toolbox.
He also had a badge on his chest: [Maintenance Worker: Li xx]
Lu Jiamu glanced at his name tag and laughed.
The girl at the back was still thinking about her friend. When she saw the man in staff attire in front, her eyes immediately lit up: "Uncle, something's wrong with my friend!"
The maintenance worker named Li xx also laughed, but his smile was stiff and unnatural, as if he was wearing a mask on his face, which was very strange.
He said somewhat mechanically: "Finally, I found you. You must be lost... Our maze is very complicated."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised the electric drill in his hand. Even though it was not powered on, it still made a crackling sound and attacked Lu Jiamu.
No, actually you have been lost.
Lu Jiamu was prepared. He immediately took out Fang Gu's diary and used the diary to block his electric drill.
Although it was just an ordinary diary, it had extremely strong defense and was not penetrated by the electric drill, but was blocked.
Lu Jiamu sighed in amazement.
A line of small words slowly appeared on the cover of the diary: [Good boy. Use your father to block the electric drill.]
