The lights are bright, the wine is revelry, the life is extravagant and decadent.
Wen Ruiqing raised his glass and clinked it gently with Li Luolan.
Li Luolan raised the wine glass and took a sip. Her red lips were rosy and her narrow eyes had thick and long eyelashes. She glanced at Wen Ruiqing with the corners of her eyes raised.
Those eyelashes seemed to be sweeping across Wen Ruiqing's heart, tickling him and making him itch unbearably, making him even more determined to get it.
"I see you come to this bar often." Wen Ruiqing said.
Li Luolan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him, her red lips curled up, with deep meaning in her eyes.
"Because I'm alone at home and I feel so lonely."
"You are the same."
"Indeed."
Wen Ruiqing looked at the wine in the glass, turned his head and looked at Li Luolan, and asked casually: "Are you from K City?"
"No~"
Wen Ruiqing tasted the wine in the glass, and then watched the bartender's hands holding cups, which flew up and down, making him dizzy.
After a moment, he said with emotion: "It must be hard to be alone in K City."
The corners of Li Luolan's mouth curved even wider. She blinked, turned around and looked at Wen Ruiqing.
Continue with what he said.
“It’s really hard to be alone in a strange city without friends or family.”
"But I feel comfortable," she added.
"That's true." Wen Ruiqing raised his glass and gestured to Li Luolan with a smile on his face.
"But aren't we friends now?"
Li Luolan smiled and clinked glasses with him, agreeing with what he said.
The two chatted idly.
"Is work going well?" Wen Ruiqing asked suddenly, seemingly unintentionally.
Li Luolan smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "It's not that it's smooth or not, it's just that it's the same with or without me."
Wen Ruiqing quickly comforted her with a few words.
The two sat in the bar for a while. Li Luolan made an excuse to go home for something. Wen Ruiqing achieved his goal and did not try to keep her. He watched Li Luolan leave.
Wen Ruiqing sat there for another two minutes before he stood up, paid the bill and left.
He hailed a taxi at the door of the bar, took out his sunglasses from his bag, put them on, and then got in the car.
The taxi driver looked at him strangely. He was wearing sunglasses in a taxi so late at night. This man looked handsome, but he must be stupid.
The driver shook his head and said nothing, just thinking he was eccentric.
Wen Ruiqing, wearing sunglasses, sat in the back seat expressionlessly. There was a dark cloud in front of his eyes and the rearview mirror was blurry in his vision.
This way, you won’t see any strange figures in the rearview mirror.
Wen Ruiqing took great pains to do this.
It is definitely not okay to drive with sunglasses on at night, so he didn't even dare to drive today. He didn't even have the nerve to say he would send Li Luolan home. He just pretended that he would stay in the bar and waited until she left before leaving.
But this is not a solution. If the shadow continues to exist around Wen Ruiqing, won't he be trapped by it day and night?
Li Luolan had seen that shadow twice. Why didn't she mention a word about this matter when she met her today?
Could it be that apart from seeing it twice at his house, Li Luolan had never encountered that shadow again?
﹉
Wen Ruiqing hasn't looked at himself in the mirror properly for two days, and he tries to avoid any objects that can reflect his shadow.
Even when shaving, he does it by feeling.
I didn't go to work at the company, and I contacted people by phone when I had anything to do.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
The cell phone rang, Wen Ruiqing answered the call, explained work matters to the person on the other end of the phone, took the phone away from his ear, and prepared to hang up.
His fingers suddenly froze, Wen Ruiqing screamed, and with a wave of his hand, the phone flew out of his hand, drew an arc in the air, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Boss Wen? Boss Wen? What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
The person on the other end of the phone was originally waiting for Wen Ruiqing to hang up first, but suddenly heard Wen Ruiqing's shout, followed by the "bang bang" sound of the phone falling to the ground, and hurriedly asked.
Wen Ruiqing widened his eyes, breathed rapidly, and stepped back repeatedly.
On the phone screen, the original interface disappeared, replaced by a familiar peach blossom eye.
Those familiar peach blossom eyes were constantly oozing dark red blood...
"Hello? President Wen?"
"Can you hear me?"
The sound of calls on the phone continued to ring.
On the screen, the peach blossom eye suddenly blinked and curved slightly, as if smiling.
The bloodstains on the eyes are still flowing down...
Until the entire eye gradually fades away.
Disappeared.
The phone screen returns to the call interface.
The person on the other end of the phone was still asking about Wen Ruiqing's situation.
After a while.
Wen Ruiqing stretched out a hand, rubbed his forehead hard, and closed his eyes tightly.
"call……"
He let out a sigh.
"I'm fine." He answered the person on the other end of the phone.
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously relieved: "Boss Wen, what happened just now?"
"The phone fell to the ground. Please hang up first."
"Oh...Okay, Mr. Wen."
“Beep…beep…beep…”
﹉
Luo Zheyu was floating in the world inside the mirror, sitting cross-legged, supporting his chin with one hand, with a wicked smile on his face, and his peach blossom eyes, born from Wen Ruiqing, were slightly curved in laughter.
These past few days were not wasted as he searched everywhere for malice in the world inside the mirror and swallowed and absorbed it.
The power accumulated now is enough to use some small tricks on the mirror.
This seems to be a kind of innate ability of malice, which can be comprehended and used as long as the strength is sufficient.
For example, the tear of blood in the eyes on the mobile phone screen just now.
Sleight of hand really requires an ability of imagination. Fortunately, although his family never dared to let him watch exciting things like horror movies due to his physical condition, he gradually came into contact with them through various channels after he grew up.
Now we can learn from it and use it to scare Wen Ruiqing.
I wonder what method I will use next time?
Luo Zheyu is ready to give it a try.

"Hello?" Li Luolan's voice came from the microphone.
"It's me, Wen Ruiqing." Wen Ruiqing sat on the sofa with the landline phone in his hand.
The cell phone was lying quietly on the ground, and he didn't want to touch it for the time being.
Fortunately, I have a good memory and can still remember Li Luolan's cell phone number, so I dialed it using my home landline.
Landline, there is no place to reflect the shadow.
"Wen Ruiqing?" Li Luolan seemed a little surprised.
"Well, I wanted to... ask you something."
"What is it? Tell me."
"Last time, you saw it in the glass and mirror in my house... Have you seen it again recently?" Wen Ruiqing didn't know how to describe it, so he just passed it over vaguely.
Li Luolan on the other end of the phone seemed to smile and replied, "You're talking about that. I haven't encountered it again."
"Don't be scared just because you are in your home and you see someone who looks exactly like you. I suspect we accidentally ate something in the bar that day..."
“…I am hallucinating…”
There was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Wen Ruiqing listened in silence.
Li Luolan decided to try harder.
"You asked this suddenly. Did you see that figure appear on the glass or mirror again?"
"Why don't we go to the hospital for a checkup? Maybe I took in a lot of food that day and it wasn't excreted completely..."
"Well, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now. Don't forget to go to the hospital~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Luolan quickly hung up the phone.
If it was any later, she was afraid that her uncontrollable laughter would be heard through the phone.
What about accidentally eating something in the bar? Of course, that's not true.
The two of them only drank a little bit of wine that day, and not at the same time. The bartender had no grudge against them, so would he be so bored and put drugs in?
As for whether hallucinations would occur when taking drugs for the first time, Li Luolan had been making up stories from the beginning to guide Wen Ruiqing's thinking in this direction. Who knows whether there is such a drug?
Li Luolan had also heard about people appearing in the mirror who looked exactly like him, so he knew that this was definitely not an illusion.
But this did not prevent her from fooling Wen Ruiqing.
It would be best if Wen Ruiqing believed it, but if she didn’t, then forget it. It wouldn’t be a big loss for her anyway.
Li Luolan smiled and rolled around on the sofa holding her cell phone.
Under the sofa, there was a grayish-white tail swaying from side to side.
﹉
Wen Ruiqing was wearing sunglasses, sitting on a chair in the hospital, waiting in line for tests.
Rather than admitting that this was a supernatural event and that he was helpless and had no way to deal with it, Wen Ruiqing would rather believe what Li Luolan said.
However, the test results were normal.
Wen Ruiqing held the test report and looked at it for a long time. Suddenly he thought of something and went to see the psychiatric department.
"...too much mental pressure...I am hallucinating..."
"…Don't think too much and try to relax yourself."
"Go to the third floor to get these medicines. Remember to take them on time."
The elderly doctor in a white coat handed the medical record to Wen Ruiqing.
Wen Ruiqing took it and walked out of the ward.
"Director Jiang, do you think there are ghosts in this world?" After Wen Ruiqing walked away, the young intern who was studying nearby asked the elderly doctor.
The elderly doctor shook his head: "I don't know."
"Maybe that person just now..."
The elderly doctor slapped him on the forehead.
"Why think about these things? He is just under a lot of work pressure and is hallucinating!"
"Besides, what else can we do? You still want to follow him to see if he is hallucinating or really seeing a ghost?"
"He would rather think that he was hallucinating. When you see patients in the future, don't talk nonsense based on your own conjectures!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I will prescribe the medicine seriously and will never talk nonsense. I will not say anything that I shouldn't say!"
﹉
Wen Ruiqing felt much more relaxed.
It's just an illusion caused by mental stress.
There are no such things as ghosts in this world.
If there was, he would have been killed long ago and would not be standing here.
Thinking back, at most he had seen "people" who looked exactly like him in mirrors, glass, and other objects, but he had never been touched directly.
It's just what we see with our naked eyes, and our eyes can be deceiving.
It turned out to be just an illusion.
Subconsciously, Wen Ruiqing deliberately ignored the fact that the first person to see the figure reflected in the glass was Li Luolan.
Even if it is an illusion, no two people will have the same illusion at the same time.
The author has something to say: So sleepy, so sleepy.
good evening
