Through the Mirror
The images of Xiaoyi and Zhuozhuo lying comfortably on the sofa flashed through Xia Yi's mind.
There was no need for Xiaoyi and the others to lie to her.
And the message they revealed was that guarding the mirror here was a very easy and comfortable job.
It's impossible that the content of the job changed and became extremely dangerous as soon as she took it. This is completely illogical.
There is definitely danger here, but not now. Xia Yi thought of his working hours. Perhaps there will be a qualitative change at twelve o'clock at night.
After using the toilet, Xia Yi quickly pulled up his pants, flushed the toilet, and then sat on the toilet lid and looked at Xia Yi in the mirror.
Ten minutes passed. The corners of Xia Yi's mouth in the mirror at the doorway slowly twitched, his mouth widening until it exaggeratedly took up half his face. His gaping mouth was devoid of teeth, instead a pitch-black darkness, like a black hole.
The image in the mirror was changing, but her real body was not affected at all.
Xia Yi walked towards the door, and the normal mirror image under her feet followed her towards the door.
In the mirror at the door, her movements remained unchanged, still slowly pulling her mouth, the wide-open black hole covering most of her face, little by little, leaving only her eyes exposed, her eyeballs following Xia Yi's movements, staring at her intently.
Xia Yi frowned and stared at the distorted mirror. She looked at the reflection at her feet, raised her arm, and the reflection also raised its arm. Xia Yi raised her arm and hooked it hard. The image in the mirror could not directly touch the distorted mirror surface.
Xia Yi changed various movements, and no mirror could show her in the same frame with the twisted monster.
There are decorations in every place where a photo should be taken.
Moreover, the shelves for paper towels and the green plants used to decorate the artificial flowers blocked the mirror and could not be moved.
Xia Yi rummaged through her pockets. When she came to the mirror house in the morning, she searched her body. After removing the decorations on her clothes and pants, she was left with only a small mirror. It was Gao Minmin's small mirror, a special reward she got in the previous game.
Xia Yi took out a mirror, which was only the size of a palm. She held it above her head and took a selfie, which just happened to reflect both herself and the monster on the distorted mirror at the door into the mirror. Xia Yi poked in the direction of the monster, and the small mirror just happened to reflect it, forming a weird contact photo.
Xia Yi paused in the middle of the movement, as if she had really touched the monster in the mirror.
The feeling of warm skin faded at the fingertips.
The monster on the distorted mirror suddenly disappeared, the sound of the TV outside the door faded away, and the crackling sound of electricity came from inside the mirror.
"Where's the goat milk? Hasn't the goat milk been delivered yet? If you don't hurry up, Mimi will starve to death." A sharp voice came from the distorted mirror. The voice was so soft that Xia Yi had to get close to the mirror to hear it clearly.
The image in the mirror was not blurry, just slightly distorted. If you looked closely, you could see that it was a little girl with loose hair.
The little girl didn't look very old. She was wearing a small suit that looked like a school uniform. Behind her was a backdrop of antique decorations. She was standing in front of a dressing table, gently stroking the kitten in her hands. "Mimi, wait a moment. I'll send someone to bring some goat milk."
Xia Yi looked at the familiar black cat in the mirror and shook his head in surprise. No way?
No matter what, the possibility of two people entering the same copy at the same time in the previous game is too low. Xia Yi narrowed her eyes. The previous game was also the game that Xiangjiu entered first, but the game announced her as the first place. She felt that Xiangjiu might have props that hidden the ranking.
"Meow." The cat licked itself and turned its head to look over. Its clear blue eyes met Xia Yi's gaze. "Xia Yi?"
Despite the long distance, Xiang Jiu's sweet little voice still came out from the mirror and rang directly in her mind.
Xia Yi almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face: "..."
"This seems to be a one-way transmission mirror. You can't communicate with me from your end. I don't know how you found the pattern. It's obvious that only our place can reach your place. This little girl is my new owner. Her name is Jing Fang. She's kind-hearted and in the first year of junior high school. Her family is a famous wealthy merchant who made their fortune selling mirrors. They are the richest family in town besides Xia Lijuan's." Xiang Jiu briefly explained his location and background. "My mission is to discover the cause of the young lady's death, find the key, and find the door to exit the game."
Xiangjiu's mission is exactly the same as hers.
But if the lady from Xiang Jiu's side is included, there are two ladies.
Xia Yi was stunned again as he thought about it. How could Xiang Jiu, the one-way transmission mirror, know her?
"Of course, animals' eyes are different from people's," Xiang Jiu replied proudly. "I have four gamers here, two of whom seem to be from the same place. They're looking for someone called Brother Bear." Xiang Jiu licked his paw. "That's all I know for now. You should think of a solution and find the key quickly. I'll stay by this mirror all day. I'll write down any information I find and save it for later. We'll definitely meet again, and you can analyze it then."
Xiang Jiu seemed to treat her as his own and spoke to her without any politeness. Xia Yi nodded obediently.
Behind the distorted mirror, Jing Fang was still shouting something.
"Too slow!" Jing Fang snatched the goat milk brought by the servant. She gently stroked Xiang Jiu's fur and gently placed the bottle to Xiang Jiu's mouth. "Mimi, you must be very hungry. Come and drink milk." Jing Fang said softly, "You drink milk. I have to go to my tutoring class."
Xiangjiu grabbed Jingfang's sleeve and meowed softly, "Meow."
"You want to go to class with me? Of course you can!" Jing Fang said in surprise, and hurriedly picked up Xiang Jiu.
The servant next to Jing Fang saw this and quickly squatted down, trying to stop her in a gentle and soothing voice: "Miss, the math teacher hates small animals the most. She said when she came to teach that she would not accept any small animals in her class. Miss, why don't you put the cat in the cage first? I will definitely take good care of the kitten. When you come back from class, you can come over to play with the kitten, okay?"
"I don't want to. What if you abuse the kitten while I'm away?" Jing Fang screamed and rushed out quickly, holding Xiang Jiu. "If anyone dares to stop me, I will fire you right now. Dad said I can fire anyone of you."
The maid made a gesture of lifting her skirt and chased after him.
Xia Yi looked at the empty room. The clothes of the servants of the Jingfang family were exactly the same as theirs, as if they were made in the same factory. Even the way they lifted their skirts was exactly the same as that of the hook-nosed woman.
Xia Yi opened the bathroom door and just came out when Xiaoyi and Zhuozhuo looked over.
The two people said at the same time: "Why did you stay in the toilet for so long? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your stomach?"
Xia Yi shook his head: "No diarrhea."
"That's good. I was worried that the lunch wasn't fresh. If you start to have diarrhea, we'll definitely have diarrhea too. We're here guarding the mirror, but there's no doctor or medicine to bring you. Those big, stupid security guards down there are only concerned about whether there's anything wrong with the mirror." Zhuo Zhuo said with a smile, "Just now, while you were away, Sister Xiaoyi and I went through the jewelry box and found a few beautiful necklaces. You should go pick up a few now, or there won't be any left later."
Xia Yi nodded. The ornaments in the jewelry box looked very valuable.
"Don't be afraid to pick it up. This is a second-rate piece of jewelry. If you want to talk about valuable ones, the one our young lady wears is much better." Xiaoyi urged.
Xia Yi casually took two earrings and put them in his pocket, then asked, "What's the lady's name?"
"Xia Lijuan, Miss has a nice name, right? She grew up abroad and just returned to China recently." Zhuo Zhuo felt relieved when she saw Xia Yi put the earrings in her pocket, and her face became much more enthusiastic. She smiled and said, "When you get to know Miss later, you'll know how lovely and kind she is."
Xia Yi nodded, remembering Xiang Jiu's words. The young lady's name was Xia Lijuan, so her family was the richest in the town.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the security guard brought up dinner and packed up all the videos on the jewelry table and took them away.
"These accessories are so good, even if they are of inferior quality, there is no need to throw them all away, right?" After the security guard left, Xia Yi mustered up the courage to ask while opening his lunch box.
"Do you think rich people can be the same as us? Butler Zhang said that this is charity. Besides, these necklaces and other things are worthless in the eyes of the master. This only shows that the family we work for is kind." Xiaoyi explained impatiently, and the two seemed to believe this explanation.
Xia Yi stopped talking and finished his meal with the two of them. While looking at the jewelry table, he searched for the information on the table.
Unfortunately, nothing was found. All the tables and chairs in the house were almost brand new, with no signs of anyone having used them.
Time passed slowly while Xiao Yizhuozhuo was watching TV and it came to midnight.
The author has something to say:
I'm late~ Happy National Day everyone~ I wish our motherland prosperity!!!
