Chapter 24 Scene in the Mirror
This room was not originally like this!
Of course, Yu Sheng reacted instantly - he still clearly remembered what the room where Irene had been trapped looked like. It was empty, without any furnishings, not even a chair, only a lone figure on the wall facing the door.
An oil painting hangs on the floor...
Instead of being like now, there are all kinds of furniture and there is a mirror hanging on the wall facing the door.
Doubts and slight uneasiness emerged in his heart, but Yu Sheng did not feel any dangerous atmosphere in the room.
Of course, he knew that this so-called "crisis feeling" was mysterious, but after several failed attempts at death, he did feel that he had some sense of danger, and here... he felt
The room in front of you is safe.
After hesitating at the door for a few seconds, Yu Sheng stepped into the house.
Everything in the room looked very normal, and no monster with a pitchfork suddenly appeared from the corner or a brazier fell from the top just because he walked in. The sun outside the window was just right, and the air in the room was also very good.
Fresh, without any smell of putrefaction or suspicious fishy smell.
Yu Sheng checked around the room and confirmed that the furniture and furnishings here were just ordinary items, and finally came to the mirror facing the door.
In his impression, mirrors are generally not placed facing the door. According to his understanding, on the one hand, Feng Shui is important, and on the other hand, mirrors facing the door can easily cause damage at night.
People who opened the door and entered the house were frightened.
But he was not sure whether there was a similar statement in this "boundary city".
He just felt that the mirror facing the door gave him a somewhat...weird feeling.
And this weird feeling is not only because Irene's oil painting was originally hanging here, but also because the scene in the mirror... looks weird.
It was an indescribable weirdness. The scene reflected in the mirror was actually very normal. It was the way the room looked like at the moment. Yu Shengzai looked at it carefully for a long time, but could not find the source of the weird feeling in his heart.
But the more I looked at it, the more suspicious I became - what was wrong?
Is there a shift in the size and position of the objects in the mirror that is imperceptible to the naked eye? Is there a discrepancy between the light and dark of the picture? Or... is there something appearing in the mirror that is not originally in the room?
Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then stretched out his fingers and gently brushed the surface of the mirror.
A cold touch came, and the mirror surface rippled like water waves in circles where his fingers touched it. The image in the mirror shattered with the ripples in the blink of an eye!
Yu Sheng's eyes widened for a moment, and he subconsciously took half a step back. In less than a second, the mirror had turned into pitch black - the scene in the room that was originally reflected shattered and melted in that circle.
In the circular ripples, darkness as thick as ink finally filled the entire frame, as if it had swallowed up everything, slowly squirming, undulating, and rotating in front of Yu Sheng's eyes.
Then, new things gradually emerged in the darkness. Yu Sheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and took a step forward to take a closer look. Gradually, the darkness like a thick black veil faded in front of his eyes, allowing him to see.
Clear the scene deep in the mirror:
A doll - but it was not Irene, but a strange face - was lying in pieces in the ruins with no original appearance. Her limbs were broken, her clothes were torn, and she was scarred, as if she had gone through an experience.
A fierce and fierce battle, and finally died from exhaustion.
In shock, Yu Sheng opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see more things in the mirror, and the mirror seemed to really respond to his thoughts. The picture in the darkness slowly moved, and Yu Sheng noticed that the mirror surface appeared
The perspective shown is zooming out and tilting, showing a broader panorama——
He saw the situation around the dead figure, and saw the ruins on a larger scale. He saw many structures like classical columns and cornices, and those structures were broken and collapsed, collapsing into the dark mud-like chaos.
Inside, many broken limbs of the doll were scattered around, as if revealing a message to him:
Everything here was destroyed because of this battle.
Suddenly, what Irene had said to him before echoed in Yu Sheng's mind:
"...Living dolls are blessed. I can fight more in foreign lands than those so-called investigators and detectives in the spiritual world..."
"Are these 'living dolls' really so good at beating...?" Yu Sheng couldn't help but mutter to himself.
But even though he was able to fight, the doll in the mirror was still dead. Something more powerful than her killed her. As the perspective changed, Yu Sheng saw the "enemy" who killed the doll.
A...huge shadow. Yu Sheng didn't know what it was. He just felt that it was very big, almost ten times the size of a doll. Its outline was roughly human-shaped, but it seemed to have twisted and overlapping shapes on its back.
It also fell among the ruins, and part of its huge body melted like mud, merging with the chaos around the ruins, and also with the doll's limb fragments scattered in the ruins, and
The rest of the body structure is twisted and damaged.
Yu Sheng didn't know whether the distortion and damage on the huge shadow was caused by being beaten by the doll or whether it looked that way in the first place - after all, this thing was quite abstract in appearance.
But one thing he could guess was that the doll and the huge shadow that seemed to have wings should die together in the end.
And just when Yu Sheng wanted to see more details clearly, the picture in front of him suddenly rippled like water waves again.
Everything in the depths of darkness shattered and melted in the blink of an eye. The thick curtain-like darkness instantly surged up and then receded toward the surrounding mirror frames. In the blink of an eye, what Yu Sheng saw in front of him turned into an ordinary mirror, reflecting the room.
scene.
Yu Sheng stared at this scene blankly, and then tapped and touched the mirror several times, but failed to evoke any abnormality.
What was that just now?
Probably because he had dealt with a lot of abnormal things in the past two days, Yu Sheng felt that his ability to accept had become much stronger. At this time, he didn't feel that the weird scene just now was scary, but he was just interested in what he saw.
A strong curiosity arose.
Is what appears in the mirror something that really happened? Who is the dead doll? What is the huge shadow that died with the doll? Where are the ruins? And why does all this... appear here?
In this house, will he appear in front of him?
Yu Sheng frowned and thought, and couldn't help but think of another question:
Does the scene recorded in the mirror have anything to do with Irene?
The dead doll did not look similar to Irene. Although she was completely unrecognizable when she died in the battle, at least her striking blond hair was completely different from Irene. But for some reason, when I saw the doll,
But Yu Sheng couldn't help but think of a certain girl who was watching TV on the first floor and was sealed in an oil painting.
After a while, Yu Sheng ended his meditation. He looked at the mirror on the wall, stretched out his hand to hold the frame, and exerted slight pressure to see if he could take it off and change its position.
The mirror remained motionless, as solid as if it had been cast into the wall.
After trying several times, Yu Sheng chose to give up.
He turned towards the door, but before leaving the room he suddenly turned back and his eyes quickly scanned the entire room.
The furnishings in the room are still the same, and the mirrors have not changed at all.
Yu Sheng frowned and closed the door.
After two or three seconds, he pushed the door open again, as if to catch the room off guard.
There was no change in the room, it was still the same.
Yu Sheng stood at the door holding the doorknob, and poked his head into the room to look around suspiciously, gradually feeling like a lunatic.
After confirming again and again, he finally stopped messing with the door.
But instead of going back to his bedroom, he ran down the stairs and came to the dining room.
Irene, who was watching TV at the dining table, heard the noise coming from the side and looked towards the edge of the frame: "Hey? Yu Sheng, didn't you go to bed? Are you insomniac? I don't know how to tell bedtime stories...
"
He still looks careless and familiar.
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, he just sat across from Irene and looked at her seriously, as if he was observing something carefully.
This finally made the puppet in the painting feel a little awkward.
"Look what I'm doing..." Irene shrank her neck, "I'm telling you, I know I'm good-looking, but there's no future for you and the Paper Man..."
The topic that Yu Sheng had been brewing all the way was silenced by Irene's words.
"Ahem, let me tell you something serious!" He had to cough twice and put the topic on the right track very stiffly, "Do you still remember what the room where you were hung on the wall looked like before?"
"Remember," Irene thought for a while and replied naturally, "there is nothing, it is empty, you can see a door across the way, and there is wallpaper - the wallpaper on the corners is moldy and warped and you don't repair it.
build."
Yu Sheng nodded: Very good, at least on this matter, Irene's memory is consistent with his own.
"Second question, do you remember a place that looked like a ruin, with many classical columns, collapsed stone walls, and cornices? The entire ruin was 'soaked' in darkness, and then there was a doll -
—Don’t worry about whether it’s you or not. Anyway, a doll died in the ruins. He died miserably, with his arms and legs broken all over the ground..."
Erin shrank her neck instantly: "It sounds really scary."
"Don't worry about whether it's scary or not, just tell me whether you have any impression of this scene."
"No."
