sunk in yesterday

Xia Zhuo doubted the importance of this newspaper, so the content on it could not provide any information at all.

Except for the phrase "Senior with the same name".

He kept changing angles, looking horizontally and vertically, and the densely packed text still couldn't form new clues. After a while, his patience for studying was exhausted, and he turned his head and continued to search for other things.

Guan Yuzhou opened the closet. There was really nothing to see in it. Most of the clothes were not taken in, and it looked empty.

But because there is nothing to hide, the mirror surface that is close to the wooden board inside is presented in front of the two without any hindrance. The silhouette reflected on it made Xia Zhuo think that there were two people hidden in the cabinet at first glance, and almost jumped up on the spot .

After he woke up, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the position of the mirror.

Whose mirror hangs behind clothes?Don't you have to move your clothes out every time you look in the mirror?

This is not reasonable.

Guan Yuzhou seemed to feel it too, and reached out to tap on it lightly.

I don't know where it hit, the dull sound turned into a brittle sound, and the whole mirror shook from side to side like the surface of a lake touched by willow branches.

Xia Zhuo didn't even see what Guan Yuzhou had done, and he pushed the mirror inwards, and the picture flashed, revealing the appearance of Xu Mengzhi's room.

"How is this going?"

Guan Yuzhou turned sideways, "This is a one-way mirror that has been tampered with."

"...He is peeking at his sister through this mirror?" Xia Zhuo noticed the strangeness of this cabinet. It looks only one meter wide from the side, but when the cabinet door is opened, there is more than one space in it. In this way, the wall was dug through and a mirror was installed!

What would Xu Heze use this mirror for?Every time Xu Mengzhi changes into new clothes and goes out to shoot, does he just stand here and watch?Or wait until Xu Mengzhi falls asleep, and then hide in the cabinet and stare at him motionless?

Xia Zhuo felt that this matter could not be pondered deeply. He and Guan Yuzhou also stayed in the opposite room for more than an hour yesterday afternoon.He didn't know where Xu Heze was at that time, but according to Yang Yin's description, the aborigine never went back after leaving the living room, so it is very likely that he returned to this room.

As long as he hears any movement, he can open the door of this cabinet and observe them through the mirror!

Guan Yuzhou noticed that Xia Zhuo kept touching his arms while shrinking his neck, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I feel like my heart is creepy... Oh, that's right, apart from being able to see the opposite side of this mirror, can it be opened directly to Xu Mengzhi's room?"

Before Guan Yuzhou could speak, there was a sudden movement outside the door.

Xia Zhuo originally thought it was Yang Yin and the others who had come upstairs, but before he could discern, Guan Yuzhou had already pushed him into the cabinet and closed the door from the inside.

The surroundings were suddenly dark, and the faint light shone through the mirror, so that this cramped place would not be invisible.

The sound from outside became illusory and blurred through a layer of boards.

Xia Zhuo heard the sound of footsteps approaching gradually, until the insignificant light-transmitting gap in front of him was also covered. He touched Guan Yuzhou gropingly, changed his posture and grabbed the opponent's neck, listening to the steady heartbeat from the opponent's chest .

The warm breath swayed in front of his forehead, and Guan Yuzhou kissed his eyes that turned around and couldn't get down through the eyelids.

Xia Zhuo followed suit, stretching his neck and leaning towards him, but his lips only touched his tall nose bridge.

Guan Yuzhou seemed to be laughing, but before he could hear it clearly, there was a creaking and dragging sound above his head, and the thin layer of boards could hardly bear the weight, and even the whole cabinet trembled.

Then something heavy was ripped from the top and fell straight to the floor.Xia Zhuo hurriedly put away her thoughts, and sneaked a peek outside the gap——

It was Xu Heze who came, his face was pale, his clothes were wrinkled, coupled with the stubble protruding from his thin chin, anyone who threw him on the street would believe that he was a down-and-out beggar.

The young master didn't realize that someone was hiding in the cabinet in front of him. He was squatting on the ground, looking for something from the open suitcase.

Xia Zhuo was really curious, but the upright side of the suitcase blocked his view, and he didn't dare to move around at this time, if he made any abnormal noises, he would be finished.

In the end, he saw Xu Heze take out an unremarkable dark red shriveled wooden box with no lock on it, and opened the lid with a light lift.

Most of the panic and worry in Xu Heze's eyes dissipated, as if the items inside were very important to him.When he closed the box again, Xia Zhuo clearly heard the sound of metal colliding.

The man got up and left with the box, and the suitcase was still lying casually outside.Xia Zhuo was still thinking about what that metallic sound would be, and Guan Yuzhou blew a cold breath on his neck without warning.

Xia Zhuo shivered violently, and was about to turn her head and stare at him unhappily, but was dragged into her arms by a pair of hands.

Enveloped by the familiar breath, he finally realized - Guan Yuzhou was on his right side, how could he blow his breath to his left neck?

The coolness on his neck instantly spread to his limbs, so cold that his fingertips lost warmth.He looked to the left corner in astonishment, and could only vaguely see a figure with his head down.

"Dah, da——"

The voice was very familiar, he had heard it in the tunnel on the first day.A strong smell of blood radiated from nowhere, and the rolling jelly bean touched his little finger propped on the wooden board with a string of blood stains, followed by the second, third...uncountable The candy fell out of nowhere, crackling and bouncing with the energy to bury them alive here.

Xia Zhuo felt a hand around his waist move away, and he quickly touched to stop it.

Guan Yuzhou frowned, he could only hold him tighter with one hand, and push the closed cabinet door hard with the other.Unsurprisingly, the doors were tightly glued together, and no matter how hard he tried, they would not budge. Even the gap was covered with blood, and his hands were covered with wet and fishy liquid.

He blinked again and glanced into the corner, and the shadow was gone, but the panda puppet that should have appeared in Xu Mengzhi's bathtub was standing in front of the mirror, the cotton at the eye position had been stuffed back, but the scissors had cut it. There is a bigger space, two pairs of human eyeballs are being sewn in by dense threads, the red bloodshot and dull pupils are facing their faces, and the mouth with a bamboo leaf in its mouth is also unthreaded Cracked, as if laughing silently at them.

Its volume is too large, a mirror can't hold it at all, and it covers all the light that wasn't much in the first place.

"...Damn it." Xia Zhuo curled up her legs, and flicked her wrist to reach for the flashlight, "What the hell is this?"

He didn't like this panda puppet from the very beginning. Wouldn't it be more cute if it was big enough to be slapped or made into a size that can be hugged in his arms?With its current mouth, if it can open, it can eat a person's head in one bite.

He was also worried that Xu Heze didn't go far, and he didn't dare to yell loudly, the soles of his shoes sticking to the board were sticky, the sugar all over the floor had already begun to melt, and the sweet smell mixed with blood made his throat quiver. .

I can't open the cabinet, so how do I get out?Xia Zhuo quickly glanced at the sunken mirror again. Before he could turn his head, Guan Yuzhou had already taken off his coat and covered his upper body.

"Don't move." That's all Guan Yuzhou said.

The sound of glass shattering made the ear pinna tremble and numb. Xia Zhuo felt that his hearing in a dark environment was different from that of ordinary people, but now he could clearly hear the hissing sound of flesh being cut by a sharp weapon.

The warm body behind him moved away, and the cold and damp swept the whole body again.He hurriedly tore off his clothes, but saw that Guan Yuzhou had already stepped on the glass slag, and handed him a hand instead of the puppet.

Xia Zhuo no longer cared about the dark red weird room exposed behind the mirror, and was only thinking about Guan Yuzhou's injury.He hit the light of the flashlight straight on Guan Yuzhou's other arm, and blood flowed out from the opening in his palm, almost cutting a blood vessel.

"It's just a small injury, and I blocked my face." Guan Yuzhou was very calm, as if he didn't feel any pain. Xia Zhuo couldn't stop grinding his teeth with that understated and accustomed attitude, and pulled his coat tightly around it. Wrapped around his arm to stop the bleeding.

The movement just now was not small, and it is estimated that the whole floor and even the downstairs could be heard, but not to mention the other participants, even Xu Heze, who they thought was nearby and hadn't gone far, didn't come.

Xia Zhuo followed Guan Yuzhou into the cubicle, then turned around and took a flashlight to the cabinet where they stayed.The white-pink slurry at the bottom was half-dried, with a lot of blood mixed in it, and a pair of small bright red footprints were clearly left in the corner.

Those footprints connected with this room, extending into the direction of the bathroom.The panda puppet that was originally in front of the mirror was lying on the bed with its limbs wide open, with a knife stuck in its chest, and its eyes were covered with cotton wool, and there were no eyeballs at all, as if his previous glimpse was just an illusion.

The clean room I saw yesterday was now even messier than the murder scene.

The bright red thick blood spilled all over the place, spread everywhere and soaked the furniture and walls, the windows creaked and shook back and forth, and the gust of wind blew through, and a disgusting fishy smell came out, coiling around their bodies and above their heads.

The original crystal, real gold or fake silver trophies were scattered on the ground, and the entire cabinet carrying the honor was moved to the door to block the way out. deep.

"This is not the original room." Xia Zhuo said firmly, when they came, they specially looked at Xu Mengzhi's room, and it was clearly the same as yesterday, and it was impossible to create such a scene in a short period of time.

Guan Yuzhou hummed, "It's another space."

This is not the first time Xia Zhuo has been pulled into this kind of place.He tried to push the cabinet that blocked the door, but it didn't move at all, "Then how should we get out?"

"Go back the same way." Guan Yuzhou said, "Just like you did last time, you can only enter and exit through the door of the toilet cubicle."

Xia Zhuo turned her head after hearing this, and returned her gaze to the dark hole in the wall.Thinking that it was full of blood and syrup, he was a little hesitant, turned his head and asked Guan Yuzhou: "Does your hand hurt?"

Guan Yuzhou's left hand was hanging by his side, and the clothes wrapped around it were wrapped into a big ball, which looked a little funny.The clothes were already half soaked, and the fabric was too saturated to absorb any more blood, and drops were flowing down his wrist to his fingertips, and then fell to the ground.

"It doesn't hurt, don't worry."

Xia Zhuoxin said that it doesn't hurt a ghost, your arm is not made of steel.

His eyes stopped on Guan Yuzhou's fingertips, and then turned to the series of footprints on the floor.

The bathroom door was ajar and unlocked.Blood clots that have not yet dried up are stuck to the silver-white metal handle, as if someone just opened the door from the outside not long ago.

"Hey, Guan Yuzhou." He hooked Guan Yuzhou's little finger, "Do you want to go in and have a look..."

"Dah, da——"

A jelly bean suddenly rolled out from under the bed, interrupting their conversation.

A strong sense of peeping came from the back of his head, Xia Zhuo turned his head abruptly, a whitish hand retracted into the bottom of the bed, leaving only the pale powder sugar still rolling on the floor.

Xia Zhuo watched Guan Yuzhou let go of himself and walked to the bed.He was stupid for a second, and hurriedly followed.

The floor has been soaked in water for a long time, and after being damp, it bulges slightly here and there, making creaking noises with every foot stepping on it.

A piece of candy was pushed out from under the bed, rolled against the floor, hit the toe of Xia Zhuo's shoe behind, and wobbled towards the toilet in another direction.Xia Zhuo lowered his head to stare at its sliding track, and suddenly something swept across the back of his neck, which was soft and slightly prickly to the touch, like human or animal hair.

But looking back, there was only the cabinet full of knife marks behind him.

Xia Zhuo comforted herself silently, maybe it was an illusion caused by the wind passing against her skin.

At the same time, Guan Yuzhou lifted the mattress.

The panda on the bed tilted to the other side with his strength, and the handle of the knife inserted in his chest hit the wall, knocking off a small piece of wall.

Under the staggered bed boards, one can vaguely see a bottle of black jars lying on the ground, and a few pieces of sugar scattered outside and piled up in a small ball.

No one was under the bed.

I imagined the scene of shutting off the coat protector and then kicking the broken glass... It feels pretty cool!
