Flirting with old enemies in escape games

As we all know, there is a physical phenomenon called "plane mirror imaging".

When people look in the mirror, they can see another self in the mirror, and the person in the mirror is the "image".

In mirror imaging, when a person raises his left hand, what he sees is still on the left, and when he raises his right hand, what he sees is still on the right.

But if two people are facing each other, the left side of one person is on the right side of the other person, and the right side is on the left side of the other person.

The easiest way to verify it is: write a word on paper and face the mirror, and the left and right reversed text will appear in the mirror.

This effect is called mirroring.

So is it possible that they are in a mirror and everything in it is mirrored, left and right upside down, so the residents here look left-handed?

The words on the signboard of the hotel were not pasted up, but here, are they actually correct?

If this is the case, when did they get recruited?Were they in the mirror world when they got off the car at the beginning, or were they dragged in by the mirror ghost when they looked in the mirror on the first night?

Ji Wuhuan thought for a while, and felt that it was possible, but he hadn't thought of a way to verify it yet.

After all, they have never been here before, and if everything here is really upside down, there is no way to compare them.

Ji Wuhuan thought about it, and suddenly thought of a question, he raised his head and asked Zhang Xiangcai: "Teacher, can you show me your cigarette?"

Zhang Xiangcai, who had always been relatively easy-going, suddenly became strict, and sternly refused: "No, minors are not allowed to smoke!"

Ji Wuhuan pouted: "I'm just looking, why are you so fierce..." He said as he grabbed Nie Yuan's clothes and shook them aggrievedly.

Nie Yuan was thinking about the clues when he felt the hem of his clothes being pulled. When he turned his head, he saw Ji Wuhuan's face full of grievances, with tears in his eyes. Unknowingly, his face sank and he glared fiercely at Zhang Xiangcai.

Zhang Xiangcai was startled by the sudden change of the Great Demon King Nie. After he consciously took out the cigarette and gave it to him, he realized that he took the initiative to send it up before he said anything. Isn't it a bit embarrassing!

Ji Wuhuan leaned over to take a look, there was a box of red soft China, the writing on it was positive.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiangcai should have discovered such an obvious thing if the words on the cigarette pack were reversed.

So could it be that he was wrong and they weren't actually in the mirror?

There is no doubt that there must be something wrong with the townspeople here, but since they can contact people outside to buy goods, it means that they are not lying and they can go out.

So what on earth are they here for?

There were too many contradictions, and they got mixed up in a mess. Ji Wuhuan was a little confused for a while, and there was an intuition that told him that maybe they stayed here because... Just when they were about to get to the key point, Zhang Xiangcai told him Something interrupted.

Oh shit!

If Ji Wuhuan hadn't been wearing the skin of a soft and cute puppy, at this moment, he really wanted to beat up Zhang Xiangcai and throw him out.

When I came back to my senses, the flash of inspiration disappeared.

Ji Wuhuan sighed slightly, and decided to go back to the original point and rethink.

The mission of the system this time is to find out the truth about the disappearance of Yang Fa's family, but so far, after two days, they haven't found any key clues.

Maybe there are clues in Yang Fa's home, but Yao Shihua is guarding there...

Ji Wuhuan thought about it, and decided to wait another night, if Tan Song smashed the big mirror at the door today, and nothing happened at night.

Just go straight in, and if there are other mirrors in the house, smash them all.

Before lunch, the mayor and deputy mayor, who disappeared for a day yesterday, finally reappeared. They also brought a few fish, which they said were caught by colleagues, and were braised for them at noon.

Nie Yuan pretended to greet him and asked some questions. When he returned to the dining table, he secretly told Ji Wuhuan: "There are 107 people in this town."

Ji Wuhuan nodded slightly.

The mayor asked the proprietress to bring rice wine up, poured it for everyone, and toasted enthusiastically. On the first day, many people resisted, but now the few newcomers took the initiative to drink it, praising the good wine again and again, recommending it to old player.

Perhaps it was because they were fine after drinking for two days in a row. Two or three old players who love to drink didn't resist the temptation.

Ji Wuhuan secretly looked at the six newcomers, four men and two women. Except for the physical education teacher Zhang Xiangcai, he didn't know the names of the other five, but he had a little impression.

The chunky young man in a date-colored coat and the long-haired girl in a beige cotton coat next to him were newcomers who said they had gone to the bathroom last night when they saw the black high-heeled shoes this morning.

As for the other two men and one woman, they looked very young, dressed like white-collar workers sitting in an office, and didn't talk much, so they didn't have a sense of presence.

Except for the woman who looked like a white-collar worker who said she was allergic to alcohol and couldn't drink, the five newcomers, including Zhang Xiangcai, all drank, and three old players joined in.

Look at their extremely intoxicated expressions.

Ji Wuhuan was a little curious, is this wine really so delicious?

He approached the cup, originally just wanting to smell it again, but Nie Yuan reached out to take it away for him first, and added: "Underage is not allowed to drink."

Ji Wuhuan stared at the man aggrievedly, leaned on his shoulder, and acted like a textbook coquettish, who knew it was useless this time, so she pouted and cursed inwardly: "Spicy Chicken Yuanyuan!"

Ji Wuhuan and Nie Yuan didn't drink, so they naturally ate very quickly. On the contrary, those players seemed to be addicted to drinking, they didn't move after a sip, their faces turned red from drinking, and they chatted loudly.

Nie Yuan and Ji Wuhuan found an excuse to leave the dinner table early.

After leaving the yard, Nie Yuan glanced at the mayor and the deputy mayor in the room, and said in a low voice, "Go to the mayor's office to have a look."

Ji Wuhuan nodded, and felt that this was a good opportunity to find out.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiangcai also followed out.

"Teacher, you don't drink anymore?"

Zhang Xiangcai replied: "I had a cold last night, and I don't feel like drinking." He lit another cigarette and asked curiously, "Why are you going there?"

Nie Yuan pondered for a moment, then replied, "Go to Yang Fa's house again."

Zhang Xiangcai trembled immediately: "Are you still going?"

"Well, are you going?"

Zhang Xiangcai thought for a while, gritted his teeth, as if he had made some major decision, nodded and said: "I'll go with you, but I won't go in. I'll watch the wind outside the yard and notify you if there is any situation. We're here It's been two days, I'm afraid it's useless, I have to find a way to get out."

To be honest, neither Nie Yuan nor Ji Wuhuan expected him to help this talkative, curious and cowardly physical education teacher, they just hoped that he would not make trouble.

Therefore, Ji Wuhuan suggested: "Teacher, why don't we split up, you go to the town to find out more information, and we go to Yang Fa's house."

Zhang Xiangcai asked strangely: "Have you already asked everything you can ask? What else do you want to ask?"

"There are 107 people in this town, and there may be some other information that can be obtained by asking many questions." Ji Wuhuan patiently explained: "The first prompt in the system is 'You can ask every resident', maybe ask more If you ask, you can ask someone who has other information.”

Zhang Xiangcai thought it made sense, and he immediately clapped his hands in response: "Okay, then I'll be in charge of visiting the residents. I'll hurry up and try to ask more questions. I'll see you in the room tonight."

So the three of them split up.

They walked around the whole town yesterday and saw the signpost, so they naturally knew where the mayor's office was.

It's just that along the way, I kept meeting townspeople, there were vendors carrying burdens, women who bought vegetables, and some uncles and aunts hanging out after dinner, each of them greeted them warmly, and even took the initiative to join them Gossiping, inquiring about their health, chatting about household chores, and then walking with them for a while.

If he hadn't known that there was something wrong with the people here, Ji Wuhuan might only have thought that they were hospitable, but now, he clearly felt that these residents who came over were not so much dropping by, as they were following and monitoring them.

The two realize that if they go directly to the mayor's office like this, they will be exposed.

They had no choice but to keep running around in alleys, pretending to be investigating and visiting, but actually trying to get rid of them.

Finally, they looked tired. They found a small teahouse, opened a private room, closed the door and chatted inside for more than half an hour. jumped down.

Nie Yuan easily climbed up the two-meter-high fence, and then picked Ji Wuhuan up.

The two left the yard, turned into a remote path and hid in a small abandoned yard. After more than ten minutes, they confirmed that no one was following them, and then continued to set off.

It was at this time that they realized that the people here really revolved around them before, and the peaceful and quiet life in the small town was simply staged!

After getting rid of them now, I walked three remote alleys in a row, but I never met a single person, and even saw a lot of abandoned houses.

They thought they had visited the entire town before, so it seemed that they had been led around by the so-called "kind and enthusiastic guides" townspeople around the town center.

Ji Wuhuan and the two went around various trails, got lost several times, and finally found the mayor's office building, and there was no one there.

Nie Yuan climbed into the courtyard wall again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he quickly opened the door to let Ji Wuhuan in.

In the yard is a three-story white brick house. It looks like no one has been here for a while. There is a thick layer of dust on the iron door, and several spider webs are formed on the door lock. .

Ji Wuhuan pushed the door with his fingertips and found that the door was locked.

"Brother Lu, can you unlock the door?" Ji Wuhuan remembered hearing Zhang Junfeng say that Nie Yuan seemed to have a prop that could open the door.

Nie Yuan didn't answer, he turned his head and looked around, remembering that there was no one around here just now, so he took a step back and raised his leg.

"Kang--" with a sound, the iron door was kicked open.

Ji Wuhuan was taken aback by his actions, and couldn't hold back the crap in his heart, and blurted out: "Wow, Brother Lu, are you trying to scare me to death? What if someone hears it?"

Nie Yuan's face was calm, but there was a murderous look in his eyes: "If he dares to come, I will dare to silence him."

According to Mr. Nie's Iron Fist education, he taught Nie Yuan Kung Fu for justice, to protect himself, and to protect others, not to fight, hurt or bully others.

But it was clear that his education had failed miserably.

In the game, although Nie Yuan didn't take the initiative to hurt others, none of those who cheated him left the game completely.

What's more, in his eyes, npcs in the game are not equal to human beings. Although he won't take the initiative to provoke them, it doesn't mean he doesn't dare to do it.

Anyway, he had three hits.

Ji Wuhuan's heart: Damn, Yuanyuan really is a big idiot with a mind full of violence!On the surface, they began to applaud, and there was a row of shining little stars in their eyes, and they shouted excitedly: "Brother Lu, you are really amazing!"

Nie Yuan patted the ashes on his clothes proudly, but before he was proud for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that he was praising the current surname Lu, and immediately felt a little upset again.

Obviously Nie Yuan is stronger, why do you never praise him?

The man who was already a little smart in his heart thought so.

"I'll go in, and you'll watch out. If there's any danger, you can call my name loudly." Nie Yuan knew that Ji Wuhuan had a preserved egg in his hand, so if he encountered any danger, he would be fine if he persisted until he came down from the stairs.

Ji Wuhuan originally wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, if someone came over, it would be dangerous for both of them to be inside, so he nodded in agreement.

Ji Wuhuan returned to the gate of the yard, stood by the side, always paying attention to the movement outside.

After 10 minutes, Nie Yuan did not come down, after more than 20 minutes, Nie Yuan still did not come down, and after 10 minutes, he still did not come down.

Could something be wrong?

Ji Wuhuan went downstairs to the house, looked up at the second floor, and called softly: "Brother Lu, Brother Lu!"

He suppressed his voice and didn't dare to scream. After all, they had been missing for so long. If someone came to find them, wouldn't he call their attention.

Ji Wuhuan yelled a few times, but found that it didn't work, and suddenly had an idea, pinched his throat with his hands, and called softly: "Meow-meow-meow-meow~"

Ji Wuhuan's voice in the game is an extremely soft juvenile voice. After being deliberately raised and elongated, it has a childish taste. At this time, he is meowing like a cat...

"Little milk cat?" Nie Yuan upstairs was slightly taken aback, and quickly realized that there were no cats here at all.

——It's Ji Wuhuan.

Nie Yuan looked down from the window on the second floor, and saw Ji Wuhuan squatting on the ground, staring at it eagerly, tired from lifting his face for a long time, and resting his chin with his hands, meowing.

so cute.

After these three words came out of his heart, Nie Yuan immediately pinched them out again.

Must be hell!Nie Yuan trembled, and was about to go down, but found that his legs suddenly became uncomfortable.

"Meow~meow~meow~"

One long and one short, with a slightly nervous tone, soft and light, each sound seems to be seductive.

It was so hooked that Nie Yuan couldn't walk.

It must have been too cold to freeze my feet.Nie Yuan found an excuse, convinced himself, and then listened confidently for two or three minutes before going down.

Ji Wuhuan didn't know why this bastard stayed up there for so long, and asked with concern: "Brother Lu, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Nie Yuan shook his head: "There is a door inside that is blocked by debris, and it took a while to clean it up."

"Have you found anything?"

"Go back and talk."

Ji Wuhuan nodded obediently, took Nie Yuan's hand, and stuck to it.

They guessed that they had disappeared for so long, and they might have been discovered, so they didn't go back to the teahouse, but went around in various alleys, and then returned to the center of the town in a swaggering manner.

Sure enough, the townspeople who saw them were all surprised: "Where did you go?"

"I got lost." Ji Wuhuan rubbed the back of his head, making the most of the advantages of this face, and smiled harmlessly: "We just went out from the back door of the teahouse, but somehow we came to an old wharf. There is no way back."

Maybe it was because Ji Wuhuan's face was too innocent and his acting skills were too good. Although the fruit stand owner still had doubts in his eyes, he didn't ask any more questions.

They returned to the hotel, but instead of going upstairs, they sat down in the yard, pretending to be resting.

They were worried that something like a monitor was installed in the room, and someone was watching, so they just stayed here and talked in a low voice.

Ji Wuhuan couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Lu, what did you find?"

Nie Yuan wiped off the dust on his hands with a wet tissue, and answered him in a low voice: "This mayor is fake."

"Well?"

"It was abandoned five years ago."

"Could it have moved away?"

Nie Yuan shook his head: "There are still some townspeople's files and land certificates from a few years ago, and even such important things as official seals have been thrown into the trash can. If they are moved away, it is impossible to put these Stuff stays there."

And I'm afraid it's not just that, the townspeople here are probably all fake.

So who are they?

"By the way, I also got a photo, I'll show it to you sometime." Seeing someone approaching behind Ji Wuhuan, Nie Yuan closed his mouth.

Ji Wuhuan understood from his eyes, changed the subject, showed a sweet smile, and asked Nie Yuan: "Brother Lu, do you...do you like little milk cats?"

……

It was near dusk when Zhang Xiangcai came back and collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. Ji Wuhuan thoughtfully poured him a glass of warm water.

In the afternoon, they checked every corner of the room to confirm that there were no surveillance bugs or anything like that, and they were relieved.

After Zhang Xiangcai finished drinking the water and rested for a while, Ji Wuhuan asked, "Teacher, did you find anything?"

"I found nothing." Zhang Xiangcai sighed slightly, looking a little frustrated: "I met Xie Shu and the others on the road. The three of them started investigating yesterday, so the four of us asked separately. We asked 103 people in total."

"Six people?"

"Well, four people were not found, probably not in the town."

Ji Wuhuan snorted, and then asked what it meant that nothing was found.

"I asked those questions again according to what you said, and the results were basically the same." Zhang Xiangcai handed the two of them a small notebook with his records on it, and complained: "What a waste of a day." time."

"Basically the same?" Ji Wuhuan took the notebook and read it carefully.

It turned out that Zhang Xiangcai looked very arrogant, but his handwriting was quite beautiful, and he was very careful in his work.

He asked each person's name, recorded clothing and occupation, and only then did they answer.

Looking at it all the way, Ji Wuhuan became more and more surprised, it was indeed just like what Zhang Xiangcai said.

Maybe they didn't think it when they asked, but after recording it, they will find that it is more than "basically the same", remove the modal particles, and meaningless exclamations, and adjust the order. Yao Shihua's understanding of the story, opinions, and speculation about the disappearance of Yang Fa's family are exactly the same.

Zhang Xiangcai was still complaining: "Hey, I'm exhausted today. I walked around and asked people one by one. My mouth was dry, but I didn't find any problems in the end."

"No." Ji Wuhuan raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes fixed: "There is no problem, there is a problem in itself."

"What do you mean?"

"More than 100 people said exactly the same thing, is it possible?"

"What's the matter? Doesn't this mean that the facts are like this? I think the truth is that Yang Fa's family was dragged away by Yao Shihua."

"Then teacher, do you believe in ghosts in this world?"

Zhang Xiangcai pouted: "I didn't believe it before, but can I not believe it now?"

"Then do the people around you believe it?"

"They definitely don't believe it, and they have never seen a ghost..." Zhang Xiangcai is not too stupid, he suddenly understood in the middle of the sentence!

As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people.

Everyone feels different when reading the same book, so what about one thing?

The curse of Yao Shihua has already happened in the Republic of China, at least sixty years, and the town has not had a mirror in these decades, which means that there have been no more terrorist incidents during this period.

So why are they so convinced of it?If it is said that the people who stay here are more superstitious, then why don't even children have any doubts about it?

"Unless they collude and are all lying."

The author has something to say: Pippi: Do you like little milk cats?meow meow meow~

Yuanyuan: Just look at Little Yuan, and you will know whether I like it or not.

Hehe
