I deliver food in a bizarre world

These three paper figures were his way out.

If something follows him back after he goes to that mirror hotel, these paper figures, which contain a trace of his spirit, might serve as a warning or even as a substitute.

He carefully wrapped the other three paper figures in a soft cloth and put them into the inner compartment of his backpack.

He inserted it at a perfect angle; one could simply reach out and pull the paper figure out of the cloth without even taking off the backpack.

He had just finished tidying up when his phone rang.

The items I ordered online and were delivered within the same city started arriving one after another.

He immediately sorted out his belongings and stuffed them into his backpack.

When he had everything ready, he glanced at the time and it was already past three in the afternoon.

With more than seven hours left before the app's countdown ended, he decided to take advantage of the daylight to scout out the area around the Mirror Hotel.

Otherwise, dragging it out until nightfall will only increase the unknown terror!

"Family members," he said to the live stream camera, "the traditional craft experience has come to a temporary end. Next, I'll take you to visit a... place with a lot of historical charm."

He slung his backpack over his shoulder, checked the high-powered flashlight and the can of red spray paint, and left the house.

【Wait, buddy, are you really going to the Mirror Hotel?】

[Wait a minute? What? What? A mirror hotel?]

[Where is that? Is it some kind of popular spot for online influencers?]

No way! We can't go to that awful place!

[What kind of trendy photo spot is this?! You can only take black and white photos there!]

Holy crap! No wonder the streamer prepared so much stuff! And he was carrying a huge bag!

[I was wondering why Brother Mo suddenly started making paper figures; it looked like he was prepared!]

He looked at the comments in the live stream and walked out of the apartment building.

The sunlight shone on him, dispelling some of the chill, but the heaviness in his heart did not lessen in the slightest.

He hopped on his electric scooter, set his destination on his phone, and set off.

The closer you get to the old West Street, the more dilapidated the surrounding scenery becomes.

The bustling urban scene gradually faded away, replaced by low old houses with peeling paint, abandoned storefronts, and demolition slogans everywhere.

The streets were sparsely populated, with only a few elderly people sitting in their doorways basking in the sun, their eyes clouded as they stared at this strange intruder.

By comparing the map and the photos on the forum, Chen Mo quickly located the four-story old building that appeared to be the Mirror Hotel.

It stands alone at the end of a narrow alley, its exterior walls covered in stains and cracks, and all the windows are dark and without glass.

The entrance was piled with construction and household waste, emitting a musty smell.

The tattered signboard above the door is exactly the same as the one in the photo, only half of it is missing.

Holy crap! This place...it looks creepy just by looking at it!

[This place really exists? I really thought it was just a legend!]

[OMG, this place doesn't even need any setup, you could film a horror movie right here!]

[Don't go in, streamer! I feel uncomfortable even watching this on screen! Trust me!]

"Brother Mo, should we go back? This place is really creepy!"

[I'm ready to notify the security bureau! Report it immediately if the streamer is in danger!]

The comments section started scrolling wildly, filled with concern and attempts to dissuade viewers from watching.

Chen Mo didn't activate his spiritual eyes; he merely stood at the alley entrance looking at the building, and a slight stinging sensation came through his eyes.

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine. After activating his spiritual eyes, he saw that the entire building was shrouded in an extremely dense layer of gray-black mist, which was almost impossible to dissipate!

The mist was still flowing slowly, as if it were alive!

He found a suitable spot to park his car, but instead of approaching immediately, he stood at the entrance of the alley and observed carefully.

He took out his phone, adjusted the camera, and aimed it at the building from a distance.

"It's alright, everyone. See that building over there? That's the legendary Mirror Hotel."

Chen Mo's voice came through the microphone, sounding incredibly relaxed, but his palms, which were holding the phone, were already slightly sweaty.

Instead of immediately entering the alley, he walked around the area.

He wanted to observe and study the building's external structure from different angles to see if there were any safe evacuation routes in an emergency.

Just as he walked to the back of the building to see if there were any windows or fire escape stairs, he spotted a figure in his field of vision!

It was hiding behind a window without glass on the third floor, and disappeared in the instant Chen Mo's field of vision swept over it!

Chen Mo's body froze instantly, and his scalp tingled with pain.

The figure disappeared so quickly that Chen Mo almost thought it was an illusion.

But he was absolutely certain that he had not misread it!

Because he saw the thing's scarlet pupils!

That's definitely not a human eye...

Almost simultaneously, a small paper figure in the inner pocket of his backpack vibrated slightly without warning!

The vibration was so slight that Chen Mo didn't feel it through the thick backpack.

But he still took a few steps back without making a sound, increasing the distance between himself and the dilapidated building.

The phone was still held up for the live stream, the camera pointed at the lifeless window.

[What happened, Brother Mo? Why did you suddenly look so serious?]

Did you see something?

[The camera shook! Was the anchor shaking?]

[It's definitely a script! There's no such thing as dirt in this world, I don't believe it.]

[The anchor's acting is pretty good; she's got those subtle expressions down perfectly.]

"It's nothing," Chen Mo said, forcing a smile at the camera. "It looks like a stray cat darted past just now, it gave me a fright."

He made up an excuse, but a shadow fell over his heart.

Chen Mo searched the surrounding area for an hour but found nothing.

Time flew by and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

He glanced at the clock and felt he couldn't wait any longer; he had to go in and find out while there was still daylight.

Otherwise, he would be unable to move an inch at night!

"Family members, since we're already here, let's go inside and see what this legendary Mirror Hotel is really like."

He took a deep breath, took out a high-powered flashlight and a can of red spray paint from his backpack, and clipped them to his belt.

[Here it comes! The main event is about to begin!]

[Be careful, streamer! It looks pretty run-down inside. Don't fall.]

[Waiting for the special effects to be released!]

【+1】

【+1】

[Yes, yes, yes, last night's blood-splattering and mud-figure act looked so real, let's see how you act today!]

The comments section remained filled with an atmosphere of enjoying the drama.

Almost everyone believed that this was an elaborately planned outdoor live-streamed show with horror elements.

Only a small number of people realized the seriousness of the problem.

But that's human nature; driven by herd mentality, people always side with the majority.

Even if they had doubts, they just kept them to themselves.

Looking at these comments, Chen Mo felt a mix of bitterness and relief.

What's bitter is that no one understands his true situation, and what's fortunate is that no one understands either...

If everyone knew about this, it would probably cause widespread panic immediately.

Let alone the Great Xia Kingdom, even the neighboring countries would probably fall into chaos...

However, I think the Americans probably have more vampires and werewolves...

A live-action Twilight?

He tried to find a bittersweet moment as he stepped into the narrow alleyway filled with garbage.
