Chapter 13 Reflections in the Mirror
The Hall of Mirrors seemed endless, with beams of flashlight reflecting back and forth between the mirrors, the light weaving into a dizzying net of light.
Chen Mo felt as if he was not walking in a corridor, but trapped in a maze, surrounded by fragmented images of himself.
Footsteps echoed in the air, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes even right next to the back of his head.
It sounds like there are other people in this area...
He turned around abruptly, the flashlight beam sweeping across the empty corridor, where countless reflections of himself in the mirrors also turned around at the same time.
Hey Mo, why do you keep turning around? It's kind of scary.
[Don't scare yourself, it's all psychological!]
[Exactly, every time I turn around, I have to hold my phone screen away from my face!]
[You're not alone!]
Me too. I've already recruited all my roommates; they're asking if I'm doing some kind of new fitness trend...
[The sound effects are absolutely amazing! It's like there's really something following us!]
The comments section was filled with jokes and banter, but Chen Mo's nerves were already stretched to the limit.
His eyes continued to feel slightly sore, and the gray mist in his vision grew thicker. He quickened his pace, wanting to get through this suffocating corridor of mirrors as soon as possible.
Most of the doors on both sides of the corridor were tightly closed, and the few that were ajar were also bottomless darkness.
Just as he passed a half-open door, a rustling sound came from the darkness inside!
The sound was very soft, but in the deathly silence, it was amplified infinitely!
Chen Mo held his breath and listened carefully.
squeak...
It felt like someone was gently scratching glass with their fingernail, making my teeth ache.
Such a sound would make anyone's scalp tingle under normal circumstances, let alone at this moment!
Chen Mo suddenly turned around, and the flashlight beam shone into the room, illuminating the outline of the interior.
Just in case, he didn't turn the phone's camera around, lest any inexplicable situation arise.
[There's sound! There's sound!]
[I heard that too! Is an NPC about to appear?]
Is that the sound of the wind? Or maybe a mouse? The noise is rather faint.
[You didn't understand what I meant earlier; it's not that the louder the sound, the scarier it is.]
[I bet the plot is about to begin!!!]
[Follow along! I bet a dime!]
[Ah!!! Jade Emperor, Buddha, please bless me!]
[We don't know how intense the content is, but we suggest everyone stay away from the screen!]
As he stopped walking, the scraping sound also stopped...
This is a standard hotel room, but the room number is so blurry from the passage of time that it is no longer legible.
The furniture inside was overturned, and the floor was littered with clutter and trash. On the wall directly opposite the door hung an oval-shaped dressing mirror.
The mirror was relatively intact, only covered with a thick layer of dust.
The previous sound came from the location of the mirror, as if someone was scratching inside it!
Chen Mo squinted and examined it carefully for a while.
The gray-black mist around the mirror had been unusually active, like boiling water, but it gradually subsided after the sound stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the thick layer of dust on the mirror began to peel off on its own, as if an invisible hand was wiping it clean!
Dust settled down, gradually revealing a clear and smooth mirror surface.
The mirror reflected Chen Mo's figure holding a flashlight at the doorway, and the empty corridor behind him.
Everything seemed perfectly normal, but Chen Mo's pupils suddenly contracted.
The person reflected in the mirror was actually facing away from the inside of the room!
But in reality, he was facing the room!
In other words, he was facing the mirror, but what he saw was... the back of his head!
What's going on?!
Chen Mo in the mirror was facing away from him, his shoulders swaying slightly, just like the body's reaction when a person laughs.
He also held a flashlight in his hand, the beam of light illuminating the empty corridor in the mirror world.
Then, to Chen Mo's wide-eyed surprise, his reflection in the mirror stiffly and slowly turned his head!
His body remained motionless, his head slowly turning behind his shoulder, his neck twisting and making a sickening "crackling" sound.
That's a rotation angle that no normal human being could make!
Chen Mo also saw the other person clearly.
Facing him was a pale face without any features!
His heart tightened, and before he could react, he felt a gaze filled with intense malice locked onto him!
It didn't come from the mirror, but from the corridor behind him!
He turned around abruptly!
The beam of his flashlight pierced the darkness, but there was no one behind him!
But just as the flashlight moved, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that in all the countless mirrors on either side, his reflections were simultaneously making that strange gesture of turning around to look!
In an instant, countless pale, blurry faces, reflected in the shattered lenses, all turned to look at him in the center of the corridor!
A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head!
[What's wrong with Brother Mo?! Why did he suddenly stop here?]
[Wow, his expression changed! The attention to detail is amazing!]
[Holy crap, I have to say, Mo actually looks pretty cool like this!]
[Come on! I've been following Mo Ge for two years and I've never seen him make that face before! He's clearly angry!]
[Backed away? What did you see?]
[The anchor's acting is phenomenal! That terrified look in his eyes!]
Due to the angle, the unusual phenomenon in the mirror was not visible in the live stream.
It's a good thing they didn't see it, otherwise there would be no way to explain it...
"Damn it!" Chen Mo cursed under his breath, his body rapidly retreating.
Almost instinctively, I wanted to get away from the half-open door and the mirror inside.
However, he had only taken two steps back when he felt his ankle being gripped tightly and he couldn't break free!
Instantly, a tremendous dragging force came from behind, trying to pull him into the room with the door half open!
The sensation at the ankle that was being grabbed was crystal clear; the fingers were clenched tightly, and it was icy cold!
He looked down and shone his flashlight on his ankle, but there was nothing there!
Chen Mo's head suddenly exploded, and goosebumps rose all over his body!
It was an invisible hand that he couldn't see!
He instantly realized that the owner of this hand was most likely his reflection in the mirror!
They can actually affect reality?!
He gritted his teeth and braced his other foot against the ground, resisting the invisible force.
But the dragging force was so great that he lost his balance and was about to be dragged down.
In desperation, he remembered the paper figure in his backpack!
"***!"
After uttering a classic Chinese curse, he put his phone in his shirt pocket, freeing one hand to rip open his backpack zipper and pull out a small paper figure.
Without even looking, he pressed down hard on the approximate location of the hand on his ankle!
The instant the paper figure touched the air above his ankle—
"laugh!"
A sound like a drop of water falling into boiling oil rang out.
He felt the hand that was gripping his ankle tremble violently, and the powerful pulling force suddenly disappeared!
At the same time, the little paper figure that he pressed down spontaneously combusted without any fire!
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a small clump of ashes, which scattered on the ground.
Chen Mo staggered for a moment, then steadied himself.
He looked down at the ashes on the ground, then at his ankle, which had regained its freedom. The cold touch still lingered on his skin, and he felt a lingering fear.
The paper figure saved him from disaster!
