nightmare novelist

Hugging is a strange thing for Su Qian.

Before the age of ten, Su Qian's physical contact with other humans was limited to when the white coats in the "infirmary" checked and injected him, and when he participated in the "school" physical training courses.

After she was ten years old, although Su Qian had adoptive father and mother by her side, they still didn't have much physical contact with each other.Although Su Qian didn't think so, people often said that the atmosphere of the Su family was very strange.Once a business partner of Su Qian’s adoptive parents came to the house as a guest, and felt that the whole dining table was like a still ice cellar, and begged if someone could make him a bowl of hot soup.

All in all, Su Qian had never thought of being hugged like this, which even made him forget that he was being forcibly pressed down by the other party on the cold ground, surrounded by darkness without any light. In the absence of any light source, Su Qian's His eyes were completely for display, and his poor emotional control made his heart beat faster.

And a little panic.

It's rare, it's hard to imagine, but Su Qian did feel this kind of emotion called "panic" after many years.

And the cold ground behind her, and the hug without any warmth, became Su Qian's only sense of security at the moment.

At the same time, the other party's hug also gave Su Qian another creepy feeling, because the "body" holding him tightly had no temperature, heartbeat or even breathing, but it was hugging him tighter and tighter.

"Do you know why there are so many reflections in the mirror?"

The voice rang in Su Qian's ear. The "he" holding Su Qian tightly must be the incarnation of the ghostly mirror, and the reflections in his mouth should be those ghosts wandering around the world in the mirror.

"Because no one wants to stay with me."

Su Qian was hugged quietly like this, trying to mobilize the so-called professional experience in his mind to think of the most suitable way to respond, but Gui Jing's words made him unable to help but think of those ghosts with half faces that were extremely terrifying, unimaginable Those things are just Barbie dolls made by the mirror to alleviate loneliness.

"I thought you hated humans." Su Qian took a deep breath to calm himself down, at least he remembered that there was something related to it in the setting file of the trick mirror.

"We are the same." The other party pressed close to Su Qian's ear, holding Su Qian's right hand with one hand, and the other hand wrapped around his lower back, crossed his legs, obviously trying to restrain Su Qian completely shallow action.

Su Qian couldn't help but think about the other party's intention of saying this. After seeing the setting file of Wei Jing, Su Qian kept thinking about what the number S0001 meant, and what the number E1122 meant. What kind of existence is the "school" where they conduct experiments.

Subconsciously, Su Qian still doesn't want herself to be the same as a numbered mirror.

"At least in terms of numbers, not necessarily." Su Qian muttered softly.

"We are the same." In the complete darkness, only hearing and touch seemed to be left, "Can we not be separated?"

"Then stay in the mirror world forever?" Su Qian tried to move her body, but only brought herself closer to the other party.

"You like it here, I can feel it." The voice was right next to Su Qian's ear, "We are the same."

It is difficult for a person to lie to the mirror, even if Su Qian told himself that he had to go back to the real world, he had to admit that after leaving here he would definitely miss this mirror world where he would not have to worry about strange symptoms.

"But I don't like this." Su Qian moved her pressed wrist, "It's annoying to hear the same voice as myself in a space where you can't see anything."

Su Qian tried to make the tone more gentle and euphemistic, but these two words have not had much intersection with him in the past 18 years.

Maybe it was Su Qian's words that played a role, maybe it was the settings in the book of nightmares that played a role. As soon as Su Qian finished speaking, light appeared in the entire dark space!The sudden light made Su Qian close his eyes like he did when he opened the gate of the manor before, but he could feel the original coldness under him disappear, replaced by a soft feeling, like lying on a comfortable bed Pad.

After Su Qian slowly opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a completely unfamiliar ceiling, the style of which was no different from the original manor.He seemed to have left that dark space and appeared in another completely strange room.

The whole room was not as bright as day, but a candle lamp was lit not far from Su Qian's side, which also allowed Su Qian to see clearly the incarnation of the mirror that was still pressing down on him and hugging him tightly.

Maybe it felt Su Qian's gaze, and the mirror that had been tightly wrapped around him stood up and looked at him, the identical faces were only one breath away from each other, even Su Qian had never been so close to herself when she looked in the mirror .

Su Qian's appearance at this moment is indeed exactly the same as Su Qian's. Unlike the reflection in the mirror, Su Qian's eyes have dark red pupils that are different from human beings, and there is an unfamiliar concentration and expectation in his expression.

It was obviously the same face, but it gave Su Qian a strange feeling.

"Where is this place?" Su Qian could feel herself laying on a soft pillow, obviously lying on a bed in a certain bedroom.

"The room the owner of the manor prepared for the vixen." When he spoke again, the voice of the ghost mirror became a little deeper than Su Qian's, similar but different.

"Fox spirit?"

"A human female, that's what the former owner called her. I don't like her." Gui Jing looked at Su Qian very intently, like a collector looking at his most precious collection, "The former owner has always liked this room, saying it The best in the whole estate."

Su Qian recalled the files of Gui Jing, and felt that the former owner he mentioned should be the wife of the owner of the manor, and the vixen should be the concubine who sold Gui Jing at a low price.

"So you put me here because you think this room looks good?" Su Qian half-closed her eyes.

"Because you seem unhappy." The guy who should be the boss of the nightmare world, the palm holding Su Qian's waist seems to have slipped a little, "The owner of the manor comes here every time he is in a bad mood, and then he will become happier .”

"I suspect this is not the effect of the room." Su Qian pouted with a poker face, "What are your hands doing?"

Gui Jing didn't answer, but at the same time when she let go of Su Qian's right hand, her warm lips pressed against Su Qian's ears, and her hands wandered around Su Qian's body. The strange feeling invaded Su Qian almost instantly.

"I'm even more unhappy now." Su Qian squeezed out a voice with some difficulty, and then felt that Wei Jing's hand stopped on his leg.

"What about this one?"

Gui Jing gestured to the side of the bed, but Su Qian was stunned when she saw a vintage-style wedding dress hanging beside the bed.

"When the owner of the manor gave it to the vixen as a gift, she said that it was the happiest day in her life." Unknowingly, Su Qian's sweater was lifted up a little bit with the hands of Wei Jing, revealing her extremely white face. Thin waist.

"I advise you not to do that." Su Qian moved her right hand holding the cane with a calm expression, "I will use this cane to pierce your head."

"I heard the human beings who came in with you say that after killing my ten reflections, you will leave here." Wei Jing's voice became cold again, and her warm hands stroked Su Qian's waist, " If I hide all my reflections, won't you leave?"

Su Qian's eyes widened instantly due to the coldness coming from her waist and what Wei Jing said. They might be fooled by the so-called novice difficulty task!

Assuming that the nightmare world of "Mirror" has not been adjusted to novice difficulty, then the task that Su Qian and other practitioners must complete may be to kill the mirror itself.But now the task given to them in the novice difficulty is to kill ten demons. Judging from the results of Su Qian's fight with demons just now, this is indeed not a difficult task to complete.

But what if... what if the Mirror really hid all the ghosts?

Just like Su Qian searched up and down but couldn't find even a demon, how should they complete the task of removing the demon?Even if the tricky mirror is removed directly, their novice difficulty task cannot be completed at all!

So if the damn mirror really isn't cooperating, there's a real chance they're stuck here!

"If this is a threat, you may have succeeded." Su Qian looked at the vintage wedding dress, and she could only be thankful that it was tightly wrapped from the arms to the neck, so it shouldn't be ugly to wear.

"No." Que Jing shook her head at this moment, stopped her fidgeting hands, hugged Su Qian tightly again, and then lay down on the bed sideways facing each other, "I won't do anything you don't like."

The same appearance, the same clothes, the same height, lying on the bed together.

"You are gone, and I will stay here quietly waiting for you to come back."

"..." What if the next time you enter this nightmare world is a practitioner whose mission is to eliminate the mirror?

"What's that sound?" Wei Jing suddenly turned his ear close to Su Qian's chest, listening to his heartbeat that could not be calmed down.

"The sound of the heartbeat proves that we still exist in the world." The mirror has no heartbeat, no matter how miraculously he imitates human beings, it is impossible to have a heartbeat after all.

Su Qian also thought that her heartbeat would continue to slow down until it disappeared completely.

"us?"

Su Qian let go of the cane in her hand, hugged Que Jing with her backhand, and brought the two of them closer together, so close that Su Jing could feel his normal heartbeat, "We are the same."

"If there is a chance to meet again someday in the future, I will be happy to lend you the sound of my heartbeat at any time." If his heartbeat can return to normal at that time.

Su Qian is easily moved by the same kind, but she also understands that she is just a passerby in this nightmare world after all.

"You are my heart."

Gui Jing hid a small object in the side pocket of Su Qian's jeans, and then completely let go of Su Qian in his arms.

"I'll be looking at you from the other side of the mirror."

Su Qian just blinked, and found that the mirror had disappeared from the bed.Su Qian, who had regained her freedom, picked up her cane and sat up from the bed, and saw a mirror exactly like the ghostly mirror placed at the door of the room where he was.

Leaving the bed and walking to the mirror, Su Qian could see "Su Qian" in the mirror stretching out her hand in an inviting gesture.This time Su Qian didn't hesitate much, and walked into the mirror as if stepping into a door, and didn't think there was anything strange about that picture at all.

Facts have proved that the trick mirror has indeed become the connection point between the two worlds. When Su Qian walked out from the other side of the mirror, what he saw was the dressing room where he was before being dragged into the small black room by the trick mirror.

It's just that the changing room looks pretty bad.

The dressing room that Su Qian saw before was well organized, and there were special partitions for all clothing and accessories.But now the changing room that Su Qian saw... was just a dusty ruin. Most of the doors of a row of wardrobes by the wall had fallen off, and the rest were just hanging there precariously.

All the once expensive cheongsam dresses in the closet are left with a decayed atmosphere, and the fallen shoe cabinets and hat racks make the whole space a mess.

This is not the mirror world!

Su Qian immediately reached out to feel her heartbeat, and found that the normal heartbeat in the mirror world disappeared again, not that the heartbeat would stop, but at least Su Qian didn't know when the next heartbeat would be.

He has indeed left the mirror world.

Although I don't know why, his heart rate can indeed return to normal in the mirror world created by the mirror.

Even just thinking about what happened in the mirror world just now, Su Qian felt her heart beat twice in a row... Well, this must be the sequelae of the mirror world, just affected by the power of the mirror, and The various unreasonable actions of that thing in the mirror have nothing to do with it.

Summoning the "Book of Nightmares", Su Qian took a look at the setting file of the mirror, and found that a certain file appendix of the mirror seemed to have changed——

"Addendum 4 to the file: Incredible learning ability, its growth is gradually getting out of control."

Su Qian's eyes glanced at the file number at the top of the setting file of the mirror. Not long ago, the number there was "E1122", but when Su Qian looked over, he found that the number there had changed to "E0625".

If the file number really reflects some kind of ranking like S0001, then this means that the ranking of Conspiracy Mirror has made an amazing leap in a short period of time!

When Su Qian was concentrating on reading, he vaguely heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from outside. The sound probably came from Bai Kou and Ding Xiang who had separated from him before.

After confirming that her emotional state was stable, Su Qian put away the book of nightmares, held the pointed cane that still existed after leaving the mirror world in her right hand, pushed open the door of the changing room and walked out.

"goodbye."

Su Qian didn't look back, for fear of seeing "herself" in the mirror looking at him with grievance and reluctance.

That mirror can do it!

"Su Qian!!" When Ding Xiang found Su Qian's figure appearing at the railing on the second floor, she was impaling a steel bar in her hand into the neck of a certain demon, and it was the one who had escaped from Su Qian before. The familiar charm of the half lady and half old lady.The fatally attacked female demon shattered into pieces the moment her neck was pierced.

I don't know where Clove found that steel bar.

"Damn it, how did you get up there?" Bai Kou glanced at the stairs that had been trampled down by them before, and didn't understand how Su Qian did it.

"Some reasons of force majeure." Su Qian realized that apart from him, Bai Kou and the others seemed to have never been separated.

So, before he changed the settings, the tricky mirror locked him in the mirror world alone?

why?

Uncle Du Zhong who was standing behind Ding Xiang and Bai Kou suddenly shouted at Su Qian: "Be careful behind you!"

Su Qian turned around subconsciously, and saw a charm wearing a retro dress waving a pair of huge gardening shears and attacking him. Half of her body was a woman with exquisite makeup, and the other half was a fox face with ugly fluff.

He staggered back a step to the side, and the speed of his body reversed again.

Even if the brain had reacted as quickly as possible, by the time Su Qian raised the cane as quickly as his body wanted to fight back, the demon in front of him had already swung the scissors at him.

"Go away, don't come near him!"

A familiar voice came from a certain mirror hanging on the wall on the second floor, and the charming fox-faced movement stopped instantly, standing still in front of Su Qian like a sculpture.

At the same time, an arrow firmly pierced through the head of Qi Mei.

"I found it from the ruins. It seems to be the collection of the owner of the manor." Bai Kou who shot downstairs waved the toy-like short crossbow in his hand, "When I played darts in the bar, there were very few people like me. opponent."

It seems to be raining heavily outside the manor, and the rain beats on the colorful windows, which has a magical power to calm people down.

After eliminating the two demons, Bai Kou breathed a sigh of relief: "Compared to this dilapidated place full of monsters, my previous wedding was not so bad."

"Oops?" Ding Xiang started talking, while looking around vigilantly, for fear that there might be some other evil spirits.

"It's nothing, it's just that my parents asked me to quit my hard-earned position and marry a man 20 years older than me for the family's business." It might be an understatement to say, "I regretted it as soon as I put on the wedding dress. That thick and bulky style was not what I wanted at all. I might have escaped far without the nightmare world."

Maybe what Bai Kou didn't want was not just the wedding dress, but also the matter itself.

"If you leave the nightmare world, what are you going to do?" Ding Xiang seemed to want to know the answer.

Bai Kou shrugged: "Anyway, I've already quit my job, and my family's company is half-dead. When this marriage fails, I'll take my family's company and start from scratch, wouldn't it be fine?"

Although they had known each other for a short time, Su Qian felt that this was indeed Bai Kou's style.

"A lot of things can be done if you want. I used to hate the identity of a sports student. I was training when others were in class, I was training when others were resting, and I was still training when others were out shopping and watching movies." Ding Xiang said. , waved the steel bar in his hand again, and said with a smile, "But now I think there is nothing wrong with being a sports student. After I am admitted to the school I like, or even after I graduate, I will have time to do what I like."

"It's definitely possible." Bai Kou patted Ding Xiang's hair lightly.

Du Zhong, who was standing aside, sighed, but he was much quieter than before.Although she didn't know what happened during the time of separation, Su Qian could feel a little change in Uncle Du Zhong's body. Although it was not big, at least he was not as neurotic as before.

"We have solved nine demons, we can leave as long as we find the last one." Bai Kou looked very confident.

"Nine?" Su Qian, who hadn't found a way to go downstairs, stood at the railing on the second floor, thought for a while, and said calmly, "I seemed to get rid of a demon when I was separated from you, and you shouldn't be counted. inside?"

"..."

Bai Kou, Ding Xiang and Uncle Du Zhong all looked up at Su Qian.

"You mean, we have already eliminated ten demons?" Ding Xiang couldn't believe it.

"We completed the task?" Bai Kou was not too sure.

"After all, it is a novice difficulty."

As soon as Su Qian's words fell, in the manor hall like ruins, all the lit candles on the candlesticks were extinguished in an instant, and the whole hall was plunged into darkness, leaving only a little moonlight through the flower window and the intensifying rain outside the window !

Then, the familiar mechanical voice sounded in the ears of all the trainees——

"Nightmare world "Mirror" novice difficulty completed."

"Looking forward to seeing you again."

"Follow the footsteps of the gray mist, there may be another world hidden there, maybe the world that really belongs to you."

After realizing that he was about to leave this nightmare world, Su Qian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The idea of ​​running to the third floor to take away the tricky mirror appeared in his mind, but the candlelight and mirror reflected it very brightly. In the next second, the hall began to be invaded by thick gray fog, completely engulfing Su Qian and the others.

In the end, all he heard was the voice saying, "Goodbye," very close to him.
