Thriller Hunting Program

The coffin sank with the river, and I don't know how long it sank.

Until Ling Chengmu was about to lose her breath, she suddenly felt that the coffin hit a heavy object, and she was thrown out.

Miraculously, the surrounding water gradually receded, and she finally returned to land.

She lay on the ground for a while, and then calmed down, finally breathing evenly.

She got up, flicked the water from her cuff, and walked to the overturned coffin.

"Hello." She knocked on the coffin lid, "Are you still alive?"

The next second, the coffin lid was suddenly pushed open, and Qin Ce jumped out from inside.

The airtightness of the coffin was excellent, his clothes were extremely dry, and there was no water stain on it.

"Shit." She glanced at him, "I knew I should have let you sit in the sedan chair, and I'll lie down in the coffin by myself."

Qin Ce calmly asked: "Then I will dismember you?"

Although he was lying in the coffin just now, he heard her words clearly.

Ling Chengmu said dismissively: "I have more chances to kill you, aren't you still alive now? You should reflect on what kind of virtue you have accumulated in your past life."

"Unethical."

"…Neuropathy."

The two quarreled routinely, and after arguing, they calmed down and began to seriously look at their surroundings.

If you follow the usual ideals, you have tossed so much before, there will eventually be a scene like the underwater dragon palace, right?

No result, it's no different from an adobe house.

It's still the kind of adobe house that hasn't been lived in for ten years.

Ling Chengmu walked around the room, kicked away the tables and chairs that had been covered with thick dust, and walked to the painted cabinet in the corner.

There are two rows of books on the cabinet, a lot of girls' home combs similar to rouge boxes are scattered, in addition to some ceramics, and a wine jar with the word "囍".

She brushed away the cobwebs in front of her, took down all the books, and looked at the gadgets one by one.

Her ponytail's hair rope was just broken in the water, and now her long hair is wet and clinging to her neck, and it's uncomfortable, so she can't help but open her mouth.

"Hey, the surname is Qin."

Qin Ce raised his eyes indifferently: "Speak."

"Do you have something to tie your hair?"

"Do you think I look like something?"

"...I **** knew it, you're useless at all."

Qin Ce glanced at her calmly, and then turned to the dressing box on the cabinet.

He walked over and raised his hand to unlock the lock of the dressing box.

In the dressing box, in addition to a pair of pearl earrings and two bracelets, there is also a hairpin made of ebony wood, the head of which is carved with two lifelike roses.

He picked up the hairpin and calmly motioned to Ling Chengmu: "Bow your head."

Ling Chengmu stared at the sharp hairpin with a speechless expression: "Have you found a suitable weapon?"

"Aren't you going to tie your hair? Then tie it yourself."

"I wouldn't use such a thing."

"Then bow your head."

"…"

Ling Chengmu's hands kept moving, and she was still arranging the messy furnishings on the cabinet. In fact, her nerves were tense in the dark, and she was always alert to Qin Ce's small movements, such as suddenly stabbing her carotid artery with the tail of a hairpin (…)

However, in fact, Qin Ce didn't do anything, he just used a hairpin to tie her hair in a bun behind her head. The movements were skillful, and the tie was pretty good.

She was originally a sassy and cool person, but with this bun, she was actually a little more gentle.

Even Ling Chengmu was deeply surprised and surprised. After all, when he was in the jungle system, even Xu Xiao didn't brush her hair very much.

This is not to blame Xu Xiao, no matter how versatile a technical talent is, there will inevitably be some shortcomings.

She said, "How can you still do this?"

"Always will."

"It seems that there are quite a lot of girls in the Time and Space Inspection Bureau. You have practiced a lot before."

"Your level of boredom is constantly refreshing my cognitive bottom line."

"Why, you dignified CEO, can't even hear the truth?"

The communication was ineffective, and Qin Ce had absolutely no interest in explaining it. He remained silent and went to clean up the rest of the items on the cabinet.

Coincidentally, when he touched the slightly damaged wine jar on the top floor, he found that the wine jar was fixed on the shelf, and he couldn't take it down even if he wanted to.

but…

The jar can be rotated to the right.

When it was rotated to a certain angle, there was a sudden "click" sound at the bottom of the wine jar, and then the cabinet moved to the left, revealing the secret door behind the wall.

The two looked at each other and took a step forward at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, a strong airflow hit, like an invisible big hand, and suddenly sucked the two into the mysterious darkness.

…

Ling Chengmu stood firm, and it took her a little while to adjust to the dim light in front of her.

She groped around subconsciously, but she didn't know anything else, but instead touched Qin Ce's hand.

It was probably a conditioned reflex, Qin Ce's slender fingers folded back and actually held her hand.

...that's **** embarrassing.

The two reacted and quickly shook off each other's hands.

Ling Chengmu said angrily, "Okay, I can't get out now."

These words are not casual. The current position of her and him is obviously an enchantment space similar to the formation, which is separated from the outside world and exists independently.

This space accommodates hundreds of ancient bronze mirrors, and the bronze mirrors are closely connected without any gaps, forming an intricate labyrinth terrain. A blood-red candle was lit in each bronze mirror, the flames swayed slightly, and the dim light refracted each other, rendering a gloomy atmosphere for no reason.

The candle is burning slowly, and the wax oil is gathering in the heart of the mirror drop by drop, like tears of blood.

If you want to escape, you must first find the center of the enchantment and try to crack it.

"The formation in the mirror." Qin Ce said in a deep voice, "The rare formations in the horror-themed system are mostly formed by the grievances of the ghosts. They rely on curses to kill people, and the clearance rate is less than 30%."

Although the information officer is responsible for the content of the design system, he is also the chief of the Time and Space Inspection Bureau, and he also has some understanding of these.

Ling Chengmu felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen it, and had no clue about it.

She asked him, "What's the point of being in the mirror?"

"The candle is a tool for calculating time. Once it is burned out, all the bronze mirrors will shatter together, and the people outside the mirror will be smashed together with themselves in the mirror."

-You will see my true appearance in thousands of mirrors.

All the bronze mirrors here reflect their figures on every side, which are unavoidable and have nowhere to hide.

This is the last sentence of the nursery rhyme, and it is also the last task for them to clear the game.

"...Then hurry up and find a way." Ling Chengmu's face was cold, and he pressed his knuckles hard, making a crisp "pop", "I don't want to die here with you."

So the two started from the starting point of the mirror array, holding the mirror in their hands, and walked forward along the left side, trying to find a way out.

The labyrinth that can be made of bronze mirrors is dazzling, and the difficulty is far greater than that of ordinary labyrinths. How easy is it to get out?

She didn't stop, and every sense in her body was alert to the movement around her.

Until she heard a cry.

There was a resentful, miserable woman crying.

The creepy singing sounded again.

She seemed to feel something, and suddenly looked up.

When the coolness hit, she found that in the bronze mirror above her head, a bride with a phoenix crown and a veil was clearly reflected.

Gai's head was lifted by the breeze, revealing the face of the bride.

...that's the exact same face as hers.

At this moment, in all the bronze mirrors as far as the eye can see, wherever her figure was reflected, it was replaced by a ghost bride in a wedding dress.

Countless brides' faces, with cold smiles, asked her softly over and over again.

"Is your groom here too? I want to kill him, and you must want to kill him too."

"You wanted to kill him a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Trust me, you'll kill him and find the right way."…

The indescribable pain and dizziness once again eroded Ling Chengmu's mind, she slapped herself suddenly and forced herself to wake up.

Qin Ce by his side looked at her: "What?"

"Did you hear anything?"

"no."

What he saw and heard seemed to be different from hers.

Here is the bride's perspective.

She looked around and saw that there was still no Qin Ce in the mirror, only the ghost bride.

The candle is half burned.

Her reason gradually returned, she calmed down, and carefully identified the bride's appearance in each bronze mirror.

...It turns out that not all brides look like her.

She needs to play a game of finding faults and find out all the brides who look different from her.

Those brides who are different from her have subtle differences in their standing positions, the specific difference being that their toes point in different directions.

Pick them out individually and use the direction of your toes as the standard to identify the correct route.

Almost at the same moment, she heard Qin Ce say, "Go right."

Consistent with the conclusion she just came to.

She turned her head and found that he was using the dial of his watch as a tool to gather candle light refracted from all directions.

Those rays of light finally extended a main road in the maze.

Sensing that the burning speed of the candle was also changing, the two of them sped up their pace.

Ling Chengmu subjectively blocked the whispering singing in her ear. She frowned and asked Qin Ce, "Do you know there is an easier way to get out of this maze besides finding clues?"

"what."

"If the bride kills the groom, she can pass the customs directly."

"…"

"I'm not kidding."

She really wasn't joking, and she wasn't mad at him either.

In the background of the story of the song, the bride originally killed the groom.

This is a shortcut, so the female ghost phantom in the labyrinth will use this to confuse the player who plays the bride.

Qin Ce understood, he did not doubt the authenticity of her words.

He just asked calmly: "Then why didn't you do it just now?"

"I'm worried about breaking the mirror and setting myself on fire." Ling Chengmu said, "But I'm really excited."

"Well, it's your style."

After Qin Ce finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and looked forward.

The road has come to an end.

But there was still a bronze mirror blocking the exit, and that bronze mirror was pitch black and did not reflect a human figure.

In other words, it can be broken.

The swinging stick reflected a dark light, and following Qin Ce's movements, he slammed sharply towards the mirror.

Ling Chengmu picked up the blind cane, and then another heavy blow.

There are fine cracks on the mirror surface, but it has not been completely broken.

But time was running out.

The candle in the hundred-faced bronze mirror burned out, and the light was annihilated in an instant.

Ling Chengmu's wrists were charged, and the backhand was another stick. The bronze mirror in front of him finally turned to dust.

At the same time, she heard the voice of the ghost bride, which was infinitely close to her ear, whispering sinisterly and mournfully.

"Why not kill him?"

Don't kill the groom, don't take shortcuts.

This is the punishment that belongs to the ghost bride.

She suddenly felt a tightness around her waist, and she was bound by an invisible force and dragged back.

In the distance, every crack on the mirror surface overflowed with murderous aura, and fell apart with a crisp sound.

Chasing the soul.

The blind stick hit the ground, making a harsh metallic sound.

At a moment's notice, Qin Ce turned around when he heard the sound, his eyes were cold, and he held her hand decisively. With such great strength, he quickly changed positions with her the moment he pulled her into his arms.

The tearing pain came, and it was too late to think at that moment, it was completely out of the deepest instinct of the soul.

He gritted his teeth and pushed her out of the wreckage of the bronze mirror in an instant.

The mirror array collapsed, and everything returned to darkness.

When Ling Chengmu woke up, the dizziness still accompanied her, making her lie on the ground for a long time before she could barely recover.

There was a familiar musty smell in the air, and she seemed to be back in the original adobe room.

But she remembered that two oil lamps were lit in the adobe house, why can't see any light now?

She raised her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, as if realizing something.

"Qin, is he still alive?"

After a long time, I heard Qin Ce's response not far away.

"Um."

"Is there any light in this room? Or am I blind again?"

Qin Ce was silent for a while, then replied in a low voice, "There is light."

His voice was terribly hoarse.

Ling Chengmu sighed and sneered at himself: "Okay, anyway, it's time to get used to it."

Qin Ce didn't speak any more.

She waited for a long time, but didn't hear any movement from him. After realizing it, she remembered what happened before she appeared in the mirror, and couldn't help asking again.

"Are you all right?"

Qin Ce still did not respond.

She was puzzled and couldn't see him, so she could only pick up her blind stick and grope, leaning in his direction.

The closer she got to him, the stronger she smelled of blood.

She bent down tentatively and found him lying there on his side.

And when she grabbed his shoulder and tried to turn him over, she suddenly felt blood on her hand.

The blood stained half of his clothes, and a sharp bronze mirror fragment was deeply pierced below his collarbone, gushing blood.

"... Qin Ce?"

It was the first time she had officially called him by his name since the two met.
