escape the nightmare

"three……"

The sound of Li Mu's countdown stopped abruptly.

Lin Feng understood instantly - now he can read the hints in the book.

He took out the book, and before he reached out to open it, the pages were easily opened under the convection of the air in the room.The pages of the book were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound. After a while, it seemed that the wind stopped, and the book was not turned again, but stopped on a certain page.

Lin Feng looked at the pages he turned, and the place where he stopped happened to be the page he wrote last time. Sure enough, new content appeared after the part he wrote last time.

Lin Feng suddenly felt that it was a bit funny. This thing has a good temper. When you don’t want to look at it, you can’t even pry it. open.

He was suddenly a little curious, what conditions must be met in order to see the next prompt?

Curiosity is curiosity, Lin Feng does not intend to waste brain cells on this issue, his focus now is on the content of the book, as for the rest, it will not be too late when safety is settled.

He silently read the new content in the book word by word in his heart:

"(two)

Lin Feng actually discovered the secret of the private room.

He was scurrying around in the dark corridor like a headless chicken, bumping into walls everywhere.

He was confused, he was puzzled, and he felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss layer after layer.

I'm going to lose, I'm going to lose!

He's about to lose everything, and he has nothing to lose.

Nothing left.

Nothing left.

Nothing left.

Do not believe?

Go and secretly look in the mirror, it's a shame. "

Lin Feng looked at the contents of the book, and the sudden change in his tone made his whole body inexplicably cold.Especially the last three sentences "There is nothing left" made his brows twitch.

Although the content was written in a very eerie way, and it was even suspected of scaring him deliberately, but it cannot be denied that what it said was indeed true.Now the whole plot is still unclear to him, and all doubts are messily mixed together like a ball of wool.And the clues in his hand were too fragmented to be of any use at all.

Who is the killer, the purpose and method of killing him, the consequences of losing the game of hide-and-seek, and the strange feeling he has been unable to explain...

Seeing that the game has entered the third game, but he has not solved any of these problems.Lin Feng's heart became irritable, sweat dripped from his forehead, and his palms were also slightly moist, which made the pages of the book a little damp, and the edges of the pages were curled.

He licked his lower lip and smoothed the raised corner of the book with his thumb.He suddenly noticed the last sentence in the book.

"Look in a mirror..." Lin Feng muttered to himself, repeating the words on the book.

Mirror……

A scene that had just been left deep in his memory suddenly flashed through his mind.He finally remembered the strange place before!He raised his head suddenly, and Li Mu's countdown rang again in his ears.

Time began to flow again.

Lin Feng didn't have time to carefully confirm his thoughts just now, he walked briskly, randomly chose a room, opened the door and walked in sideways.The moment he closed the door, Li Mu's countdown came to an abrupt end, and Li Mu's rustling footsteps came through the door.

Lin Feng didn't dare to make any moves for the time being. He hid next to a closet and waited for the sound of footsteps to disappear before coming out.

He went straight to the huge mirror wall, picked up the candle in the corner, and looked up.

The entire room is reflected in the huge mirror, and the reflection of candlelight on the mirror is extremely conspicuous.

Lin Feng plucked up his courage, carefully observed the scene in the mirror again, and finally took a breath——

There is nothing missing in the mirror, the only thing that is wrong is that there is no him in the mirror!

This is what made Lin Feng feel weird when he first discovered this wall.

No wonder he didn't realize that the wall was a whole mirror when he entered this type of room for the first time, because a room that was too symmetrical would only make people feel depressing at best, and would not directly let people see the flaws.And the lack of his reflection in the mirror made him ignore what was really wrong in the room.

If he hadn't happened to knock over the candle, he wouldn't have noticed the mystery in the room at all.

Lin Feng felt the beating sound of his heart coming from his eardrums, and the surrounding environment seemed more quiet and strange. He even felt that under the illumination of the candlelight at hand, the scene in the mirror began to gradually distort, swaying in the airflow with the candle flame shaking.

He tapped the mirror lightly with his hand, and the thumping sound told him that he was still alive, or at least still existed as an entity, and had not disappeared.

He remembered the "nothing left" mentioned in the book, and quickly checked whether he was really gameover.Fortunately, there was no prophecy this time.

What's going on?

If he is still alive and has not become something that does not exist, why is there no reflection of himself in the mirror?

Lin Feng stared at his hand that had knocked on the mirror, thinking ecstatically.The cream he got off the wall before was still on his hand, so he dipped a little bit of it with the index finger of his left hand and rubbed it between the index finger and thumb.

I rely on...

A very, very scary idea suddenly flashed in Lin Feng's mind.

He immediately turned around and ran back to the original room where the killer's shoe prints were left. He wanted to verify his guess again.

If this is the case, then those previous questions have reasonable answers.

The identity of the killer, the purpose of the killer...

While running, Lin Feng quickly connected all the clues together in his mind, and a nearly complete storyline gradually surfaced in his mind.

However, there is still no answer about the purpose of the killer and the final clearance conditions, and this is the most critical part of the whole plot.

This is the only thing missing!

Lin Feng hurried back to 613. As soon as he grasped the handle on the wooden door, just as he was about to turn it, he heard a conversation coming from the private room.

"I... I should have caught you..." It was Li Mu.

Didn't Li Mu leave 613, why did he come back so soon?

Lin Feng had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, right after that, he heard another voice in the 613 private room.

"Calculate."

Even a simple word, like a thunder, hit Lin Feng's eardrums and exploded in his brain.

This is his voice!

Everything makes sense.In fact, the extra person from beginning to end is himself!Or rather his—shadow.

And it was himself who wanted to kill him.

No wonder from the beginning, Lin Feng couldn't tell who the extra person was, because at the beginning, that "he" would only appear where there was a mirror.This is probably why the whole floor is covered with mirrors.

Yes, replacing himself is the purpose of "him".

The phrase "ghosts catch people, people hide from ghosts, ghosts kill people, people turn into ghosts" in the book should also convey the purpose of "substitution" to Lin Feng.

If "he" kills himself, he can replace himself, but the real self can only become a lonely soul, the "shadow" of "him".

What Lin Feng wanted to confirm just now were actually those shoe prints.From the very beginning, he felt that these shoe prints were very familiar, and the trajectory formed by these shoe prints highly coincided with his hiding route.At first, he suspected that Lu Ya should be a misleading item used by the killer to distract him, and the real killer has been following him, but gradually, the shoe prints not only repeated the route he walked, but even took a step ahead of him. good way.

Because without those shoe prints, Lin Feng himself planned to enter the room "he" entered.If it was someone else, Lin Feng would even consider whether it was a high degree of coincidence, or whether the killer had some supernatural ability to foresee his thoughts. After all, being in this game itself was a supernatural phenomenon.

But if the murderer is himself, then everything makes sense.No one knows yourself better than yourself, and no one knows what you want to do next.

——Except for myself!

As expected, those shoe prints should be exactly the same as those of the shoes on his feet.Although Lin Feng has no way to prove this point now, he basically dares to draw this conclusion with certainty.

As for the second round, I obviously didn't meet a single person, but everyone said that he had found the truth of this doubtful point, and the truth was instantly revealed.It was "he" who found them instead.So everyone thinks they have won.

Lin Feng realized a very serious thing - if at the beginning only he could see "he" because "he" could only appear in places with mirrors, then after that, it seemed that Yang Qun and the others could also see him Now, you can even interact with him. Li Mu was able to talk to him just now.

This means that "he" is becoming more and more real, and has even begun to replace himself.

Is it because I didn't discover the truth of the matter in time to find "him" in the second round?

"There's nothing left.

Nothing left.

Nothing left. "

The three black and white sentences in the book turned into a death howl echoing in Lin Feng's ears.

It turns out that there is nothing left.

Is he about to have nothing... Is this the price of losing the game that Yang Qun said at the beginning.

No, he is still alive.At least for now, he is still alive.

He hasn't lost yet!

The moment Lin Feng finally connected all the clues together, the doorknob automatically made a creaking sound, and with the sound, the door slowly opened.

Four eyes facing each other.

The two Lin Feng were several meters apart.This was the first time Lin Feng saw "him", or in other words, saw "him" alive.

"He" was exactly the same as himself, with the same T-shirt, the same pants, the same hairstyle, and even maintained the same standing posture.

The only difference is the smile on his face.It was the bloody smile of a greedy hunter who was satisfied after he succeeded.

But the real Lin Feng only had the word horror on his face.He opened his mouth, not knowing whether it was too surprised or too frightened, and he didn't make a sound.

"He" also seemed to pretend to be very surprised, and opened his mouth just like Lin Feng.

It's just that Lin Feng closed his mouth this time, he hasn't closed it yet.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly opened the book.

This may be his last buffer time.

Finally, he turned to the latest page.

"It's up to you."

Four large black characters occupy a whole page of paper.

As the book was closed with a snap, Lin Feng saw Li Mu twisting his neck dully, turning his eyes from "him" to him, and then let out an extremely piercing scream that a very human being could make——

The scream stung Lin Feng's eardrums and made his whole brain go numb.

Next, he heard similar screams and screams coming from the corridor, from far and near, echoing in all the rooms on the sixth floor, like a purgatory on earth.

Lin Feng put the candle in his mouth, turned around and ran away.
