Through the Mirror
Inside the side hall, there is a security guard in black uniform every few steps.
Xia Yi followed the hook-nosed woman to the second floor and walked to the westernmost room. The hook-nosed woman took out the key and opened the door. She stood outside the open door and motioned Xia Yi, Xiaoyi and Zhuozhuo to go in.
When Xia Yiguang looked at the room in front of him, he felt like his breath was almost suffocating.
Have you ever seen a room completely surrounded by mirrors? This room is exactly that. It's a full ninety square meters, its walls, ceiling, even the soles of your feet—all covered in mirrors. It has no windows, but it has all the furniture you'd expect from a bedroom: floral yellow sheets, pale yellow curtains, pear-blossom-yellow solid wood furniture, even a television and radio. The small bedside table lamp is on, its warm yellow light reflecting off the mirrors on the walls and ceiling, illuminating the entire room with a brilliant light.
Xia Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the light, tears welling up in his eyes due to the stimulation.
"The three of you only need to stay here until midnight. If anything goes wrong, use your radio to notify the guards and bodyguards at the door, and they'll come rescue you." The hook-nosed woman stood at the doorway, not even stepping into the room. Xia Yi glanced at the mirror at the door, but even the lens on the side of the door didn't reflect the hook-nosed woman. "Remember, the three of you must not leave this room. There's a toilet inside the room, and someone will bring you lunch and dinner."
After saying that, the hook-nosed woman closed the door without any hesitation, and the sound of the key turning was heard.
They were locked in the room.
Xia Yi turned around. Xiaoyi and Zhuozhuo didn't seem surprised at all. They didn't say anything and sat on the bed by themselves. They also asked Xia Yi to sit with them. Xia Yi sat down on the edge of the bed stiffly.
"How many times have you come here today?" Xiaoyi asked Zhuozhuo, "This is my second time."
"Then I've been here one more time than you." Zhuo Zhuo said with a smile. "On the day Consul Zhang was selecting people, I even dressed up and put on some simple makeup. It turns out Consul Zhang likes this kind of honest look." Zhuo Zhuo said as she wiped the powder on her face. The yellowish foundation formed a sharp contrast with her fair fingers. "Once you've been to this place, you'll definitely want to come again. New here, don't be afraid. Now that you've been selected, enjoy yourself. It's much more comfortable than doing those dirty and tiring jobs outside."
"Okay." Xia Yi nodded in agreement.
"Don't believe what those maids outside say, about people going crazy or disappearing. I spread those rumors to prevent people from competing with me for my position." Xiaoyi's eyes were shining, and the honest look on his face disappeared. "To think that Consul Zhang could actually choose an honest child to send here, you are just a fool with good luck! This place just looks weird. The company we work for made their fortune selling mirrors. They built a mirror room to commemorate the renovation. The mirror room scared a little girl who was already mentally unstable, so they hired someone to guard the mirrors."
"The mirror doesn't need to be guarded. We just let people live here one day a week to prove that there's nothing wrong with it and to reassure people." Zhuo Zhuo said, "If I made billions selling mirrors, I'd also be willing to build a house like this."
"There were several of you guarding here before?" Xia Yi finally interrupted and asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Yeah, two, three, four, and at most, five people," Xiaoyi replied. "But a lot of those guys don't work here anymore. Tsk, since you're here, you have to take something with you when you leave. We're all in this together. So, I'll be frank. See the jewelry on the dresser in the room? We'll take some of that jewelry with us when we leave."
"Isn't this stealing?" Xia Yi couldn't accept it. She knew that she was not very good at judging people, but she didn't expect it to be so inaccurate. These two people were too smart!
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, what do you mean by stealing!" Zhuo Zhuo said confidently, "We're just picking them up. No one uses the decorations in this room, and security will come and replace them regularly. The unused ones are thrown directly into the slums behind. We only picked up a few good-looking and valuable ones after we discovered they were thrown away. What's the difference between throwing them into the slums for others to pick up and us picking them up now? Stop being so stubborn. Why can't you think straight?"
Zhuozhuo said this and looked at Xiaoyi. Both of them saw helplessness in each other's eyes. It was over. Consul Zhang really hired a simple and honest person.
When Xia Yi and the two maids were in eye contact, her live broadcast room was also in an uproar. Everyone who followed Xia Yi's live broadcast received a reminder that Xia Yi had started broadcasting. Who would rush back to play the game again just three days after the game was released?
Not to mention that this was after the news that Xia Yi had just signed a contract with Huaxing Entertainment had fermented.
Fans, internet trolls, and haters of Huaxing Entertainment, countless people rushed into Xia Yi's live broadcast room. What they saw as soon as they entered was a scene where Xia Yi was sent to guard the mirror and then questioned by two maids for being too honest.
This room is so fucking eerie! Just looking at it gives me goosebumps. But honest? Tsk, tsk, are these two maids looking at me with disdain for Xia Yi's honesty? Is that word even relevant to Xia Yi now? Ever since I first had this misconception about her, I've seriously questioned myself.
——Xia Yi: I never lie.
——It’s so funny. Xia Yi will sell these two maids off later.
——Let’s not talk about the honest things. This is also a new scene. Xia Yi should be the first one to open it. Several veterans opened the copy at the same time as her, and ended up entering the new copy together. I just watched the live broadcast rooms of those veterans. I remember that Lao Xiong is from Xia Ji Entertainment, and his reputation is not very good.
——It’s okay, Xia Yi is honest.
In the dungeon game, Xiaoyi looked threatening.
"You don't have to figure it out. At night, you have to take it whether you want to or not."
"I understand." Xia Yi accepted it. She raised her hand and scratched her hair. This was the first time she had faced the ugliness of human nature so directly. The straightforward desires made people uncomfortable. "By the way, is there only one child in our employer's family? Didn't the young lady lose her mirror?"
"Of course there is only one child. Didn't you ask the agent who introduced you to the child clearly when you came? The young lady is in the first grade of junior high school this year. She is pretty and has good academic performance." Zhuozhuo said, and Xiaoyi nodded in agreement.
Xia Yi was surprised that the two men had a strong liking for the young lady.
"We didn't take the young lady's mirror. I think most of us maids would never take the young lady's mirror. The young lady is so nice to us. If we steal her things again, we would be such a jerk." Zhuozhuo shook his head and cursed sincerely.
After a long chat, it was soon noon and the security guard knocked on the door and brought the food.
The food also looked like it was packed from a high-end restaurant, and the presentation was very exquisite.
After lunch, Xia Yi followed the two of them and closed his eyes to rest for a while. When they woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. After waking up, Zhuo Zhuo turned on the TV, and the sound of the TV rang throughout the room. Xiao Yi lay on the sofa and browsed his mobile phone.
Xia Yi took the walkie-talkie for communication, pinned it on his clothes, and went into the bathroom.
The toilet was also surrounded by mirrors, and even the door was inlaid with uneven mirrors. In addition to the mirrors, the toilet was equipped with a toilet, a washbasin, a shower and a bathtub. Xia Yi didn't need to look carefully to feel dozens of her figures walking towards the toilet.
Opposite the toilet is the toilet door. Perhaps it is to prevent people from looking at their faces while using the toilet that the mirror on the door is uneven.
The moment Xia Yi took off his pants and sat down, he realized that he was wrong.
In the mirror on the toilet door, Xia Yi's cheeks suddenly became distorted. When Xia Yi's face remained motionless, the lips on the mirror lifted up. The mirrors on the floor and the walls on both sides all reflected the distorted mirror on the door, and the mirror on the ceiling reflected the mirror on the floor.
The twisted smiles from all directions were all smiling at Xia Yi. Xia Yi looked over and saw that the direction of the smiles was the same.
The mirror under Xia Yi's feet reflected her true face.
In all directions, in all directions, Xia Yi in the mirror, the distorted normal is facing each other.
But, they are all Xia Yi.
