I deliver food in a bizarre world
Chapter 18 Myself
At the critical moment, he remembered the words of the scavenger and his grandfather.
The scavenger said you could curse him, the dirtier the better; my grandfather had said something similar before.
And Grandpa always said, don't trust your reflection in the mirror!
So Chen Mo made an extremely daring move!
He didn't dodge, nor did he turn around!
Instead, he stared wide-eyed at his reflection in the mirror, his hand reaching out, and with all his might, let out a roar that contained all his anger.
"***! What are you looking at?!"
The roar wasn't directed at the strange entity behind him, but directly at Chen Mo in the mirror who wanted to touch him!
Aren't you me?
Then what gives you the right to try and scam me?!
Instantly, Chen Mo, whose face in the mirror had a strange smile, froze in mid-air with his outstretched hand.
This sudden roar seemed to have helped it regain its sense of self, making it realize that it was merely an image of the other!
The calm expression on its face shattered instantly, revealing a trace of confusion and struggle. In its empty eyes, the fear that belonged to Chen Mo suddenly magnified!
Chen Mo in the mirror was motionless, and the strange presence behind him was also silent. For a moment, space seemed to have been paused...
It's now!
Taking advantage of this brief moment of stiffness, Chen Mo suddenly squatted down, and at the same time, he used all his strength to slam his left elbow backward!
He bumped into nothing, fell flat on his face, and looked incredibly pathetic...
The moment he unleashed his furious roar at Chen Mo in the mirror, the cold touch and aura behind him vanished abruptly, like a burst bubble!
Without thinking twice, he quickly turned his head while lying on the ground, his gaze fixed on the mirror on the wall.
In the mirror, Chen Mo's image distorted violently, like a pebble thrown into a reflection in water.
Its facial expression rapidly shifted between terror, anger, and bewilderment. Finally, it opened its mouth wide, let out a silent scream, and the entire image vanished completely!
The mirror surface then returned to normal!
It clearly reflected the scene in the living room of room 301 at this moment: a handsome young man, his face covered in cold sweat, lay on the ground, panting heavily, and the inner door behind him remained tightly closed...
It was as if that terrifying scene had never happened!
He understood instantly.
It was all an illusion! In the real world, nothing ever happened behind me!
But if he believes what he sees in the mirror, then he's really doomed!
Sometimes, even a fake can kill a person!
The poor fear the ruthless, the ruthless fear the stubborn, and the stubborn fear the reckless. If he hadn't been driven by malice and lived in constant fear, he would have truly been doomed!
He suddenly remembered something he had long forgotten!
Before coming here, he had received a private message: "[Next is a mirror! Watch your back!]"
Mirror, behind me!
They all hit the mark!
For a moment, Chen Mo forgot to breathe.
His personal phone vibrated, pulling him out of this state.
His hands trembled as he pulled it out, and new bloody words appeared on the screen:
[Order: Person in the Mirror (Completed)]
[Evaluation: A narrow escape (Settlement reward increased by 20%)]
[Reward 1: 1000 Spirit Coins (with an additional 200)]
[Bonus 2: Mirror Affinity (Increases your affinity with mirrors.)]
[Reward 3: Slight increase in spirituality.]
[Reward 4: Spirit Eye experience points slightly increased.]
[Note: The reward has been credited to your account.]
The two bloody words "Completed" on the phone screen were like a pardon, instantly draining all of Chen Mo's strength.
He could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the dusty floor, leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
He felt a burning pain in his chest, perhaps from inhaling too much dust.
It's over...it's finally over!
Sweat streamed down his temples, dripping onto the dusty ground and spreading into dark spots.
His right hand was still trembling slightly uncontrollably, a physiological reaction to the excessive force he had exerted earlier and the prolonged contact with evil spirits.
After resting for a full five minutes, Chen Mo could barely stand up, his legs still feeling weak.
My gaze swept over the dressing mirror on the wall. At this moment, it looked ordinary, reflecting only dim light, with nothing unusual about it.
He looked away and turned to walk outside.
As he reached the door, he paused and listened intently.
There was complete silence outside the door, and the ever-present feeling of being watched from the third-floor corridor had completely vanished.
He peeked out; the corridor remained unchanged, but the suffocating sense of oppression had indeed dissipated.
The mirrors on either side hung quietly on the wall, without making a sound.
Picking up his live-streaming phone, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and quickly walked back the way he came towards the stairwell.
When I went down to the second floor and passed room 212, the door was tightly closed, and there was no sound from behind it.
It was as if everything inside had fallen silent as the mission was completed.
He continued downwards, following the markings.
When he finally stepped out of the crooked wooden door on the first floor and breathed in the outside air again, he felt as if he had been transported to another world.
It's 7 p.m. now, and it's not completely dark yet, but the streetlights are already on.
A large area around the building was dark because all the streetlights were broken.
Only a dim streetlamp was lit more than 200 meters away.
His little electric scooter was still parked alone on the side.
[He's out! Mo Ge is finally out again!]
Holy crap, that last part scared me to death!
[The solo scene where he hangs the mirror at the end was absolutely brilliant!]
[Yeah, yeah, it really looks like there's someone behind the streamer! That acting is amazing, I'm a fan now!]
The atmosphere in the live stream room erupted again the moment he appeared.
Chen Mo walked to the car, leaned against the seat, and felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart.
He gave the camera a tired smile: "Viewers, the experience is over! Okay, that's all for today's live stream. The host needs to go back and rest. See you tomorrow."
Ignoring the pleas and questions from the viewers in the chat, he immediately ended the live stream.
The world fell silent instantly.
Slumped on the cold seat of the electric scooter, Chen Mo felt as if his soul was still on the third floor of that mirrored hotel, where countless cold, sinister gazes were peering at his disheveled state through countless dirty mirrors.
A night breeze blew, and the clothes, soaked with cold sweat, clung tightly to the skin, sending shivers down one's spine.
His right hand hadn't recovered yet, and he tried to reach for his car keys, but failed several times. His fingers were completely unresponsive, as limp as overcooked noodles.
"Damn it..." he cursed under his breath, then pressed his forehead against the cold handlebars and gasped for air.
It took a good five or six minutes for my wildly beating heart to finally calm down.
He straightened up, licked his chapped lips, and finally inserted the key into the lock.
The headlights came on, and the dim yellow beams of light pierced the darkness at the alley entrance, giving him a slight sense of being alive again.
I didn't see the dark figure on the third floor either; I don't know if it was hiding or what...
He turned his head and looked back one last time, wanting to see the building one last time.
That one glance sent chills down his spine once again!
On the third floor, where he had first seen the gray figure, there was now a person standing there!
Chen Mo's mind went blank!
Because they were close together, and it wasn't completely dark, and he had activated his Spirit Eyes, which greatly enhanced his vision, he could see everything clearly!
That person was himself!
He shakily shone the flashlight beam through the crowd with his left hand, only to find the man smiling at him and waving.
It seems to be saying goodbye to itself?
Chen Mo ignored everything else, turned the handle, and the electric scooter sped off into the street!
The feeling of being agitated only subsided slightly after the electric scooter entered the downtown area.
In the ruins of the Mirror Hotel, on the third-floor window, "Chen Mo's" gaze remained fixed on him as he walked away.
Even after he and his car had completely disappeared, he remained standing there, a gentle and bright smile on his face...
