Chapter 17: Using people as mirrors can make you dress up
The toilet is very quiet, and the tap frequency slowly drips downwards. Because of the emptiness and silence, you can hear the sound of water droplets falling into the pool from a distance.
Five people who gathered in the toilet for various reasons had different expressions. They had just passed by the teacher's office. They were supposed to be sitting in the office of the head teachers of each class, and the lights were not turned on, and there was no sound of living people.
Just like the teachers mentioned by students never existed during evening self-study.
When they arrived at the door of the men's and women's bathroom, the five of them were still separated. Qu Yanqing exchanged a look with Yu Xing obscurely. They all knew each other's purpose - Qu Yanqing was responsible for following up on the incident of the short girl Lian En. Maybe this student could observe some information about ghosts. Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu took this opportunity to explore the men's bathroom alone for a while, and if there was no gain, they would not lose.
But Lisa is a special variable for them. When Qu Yanqing stood up, she didn't expect Lisa to follow her. Due to insufficient information, she couldn't speculate that Lisa came out, so she couldn't take revenge on her.
Isn't that looking for abuse?
Seeing that Lisa's expression was indeed a bit reluctant, and she had the same fear as Lianen. The three deducers guessed in a short time that Lisa must have to take this opportunity to come out with them in order to avoid something or someone. This existence appeared very abruptly, otherwise Lisa would not have been at such a time point.
The intersecting eyes of Yu Xing and Qu Yanqing, the tacit understanding that Qu Yanqing realized that Yu Xing was reminding her to pay attention to Lisa's movements. Whether Lisa wants to protect herself or cause trouble, she cannot interfere with their purpose.
He nodded imperceptibly. In silence, the few people separated silently into two people and threesomes, pushed open the toilet door and walked towards the dark space.
There was a thick wall between the men's and women's toilets. Once they entered the door, their sight was forced to be completely cut off. Yu Xing reached out to fumble around the door for a while and found the wire of the lamp.
The time and space of this school are also very chaotic. The overall style of the campus belongs to the last century, and the class division system is closer to the modern day. The toilet lamp is also set up with a rope lamp. Pull the hanging light line down, and the low-light light installed on the wall will quietly light up, which can barely enclose the entire toilet area.
The closer you get to the edge, the darker it becomes. The urinal is still not visible, so the compartment is very concerned. The last compartment is almost only shining on one corner by light, which is black and disturbing.
Zhao Yijiu whispered: "The temperature here is not right."
It is not a hot weather itself, but the temperature difference between the classroom and the toilet gives them a very obvious sensory experience. If long-sleeved shirts and suit pants in the classroom are just right, then the temperature in the toilet makes people want to wear a sweater.
His voice echoed in the empty toilet, and the deliberate loudness was constantly amplified, creating a creepy feeling that nothing can escape from it.
Yu Xing nodded and agreed with his statement: "It's very cold and a little gloomy. I think it's better if you imagine that this is not an empty toilet, and there is an invisible person in front of each urinal and in the compartment, which is more reasonable."
Zhao Yijiu no longer wants to complain about the reason why he matched this, because if you think about it carefully, Yu Xing’s assumption is not necessarily impossible. Who would know whether the ghost here has a physical or a non-entity, is it visible or invisible?
"What are we looking for?" he asked directly.
Yu Xing is still standing by the door. He stared at the toilet that is not big or small, and then said: "Start from the bathroom, the urinal and the compartment, the ground and the corner, check every place. We have nothing to look for, we just come and have luck, right?"
I like to hide keys in the toilet in horror games.
In horror movies, I like to kill people in the toilet the most.
No matter which one it is, they make a profit when they appear. The possible dangers are not unavoidable. Just from the strong fear shown by the students in the classroom, Yu Xing knew that some students must have survived by that kind of thing during evening self-study, which can achieve the effect of convincing everyone through word of mouth.
Otherwise, blindly groundless and indirect evidence of missing people is not enough to enable students in the entire school to achieve this level of tacit understanding and fear.
As long as there is a way to survive, those former students can find it, and of course they can find it too.
These thoughts only passed in his mind for a short moment. Soon, he rolled up his sleeves and started to investigate in the men's bathroom with Zhao Yijiu.
The relatively concentrated light of low-light lights is the front sink, the front compartment, and the tiled floor in the middle. These three areas are also the safest places. Zhao Yijiu took the initiative to open the door of the compartment, and Yu Xing walked to the sink.
The sink is a bit low, and normal high school students may have to bend down to reach their hands under the faucet to collect water. The faucet and the sink are in a row, occupying a long string, and above the pool are separated oval mirrors.
Yu Xing stared at himself in the mirror curiously. Although he was wearing the school uniform of St. Jones School, his body looked no different from that in reality. In fact, if these deducers came to the school, they would definitely feel out of place. The youngest Qu Yanqing was also the age of graduating from college. The senior high school students around him looked a little immature compared to them.
But very coincidental, most students have European faces, and the difference in appearance fills their age difference, and by coincidence dispels this abruptness a lot.
In short, the school dungeon is not as refined as the ones in the preheating event.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! But Yu Xing can guess the reason, because they have long known that there may be some connections between the various copies of the island, such as art galleries and auction houses, and the school is also a building on Dead Sinichi Island, which is connected to the outside world, so the role they play cannot be different from themselves, which violates the rules of China Unicom.
For others, this may be just a small discovery of the background board, but for Yu Xing, his mind became active again and there was a vague idea.
Naturally, the most urgent thing is to search for this men's toilet. Yu Xing looked down and saw the sink without any special things. There was only a thin layer of water at the bottom of the pool.
He stretched out his finger and touched it. He thought it was a liquid that was clear water a little thicker than he thought. He raised his eyebrows, opened his fingers in front of his nose and smelled it, but he smelled a bloody smell.
If it weren't for the sight that deceived him, he would have judged that the bottom of the sink had a layer of blood that had begun to solidify.
No, since the sight and smell do not match, there must be a sense that is distorted. Yu Xing felt that the bloody smell was very real. He had smelled it many times, so he was more inclined to have a mistake in the world he saw.
He in the mirror faced him outside the mirror, with the same face, the same figure, and the same look, as if there was no such existence as ghosts in the mirror. He chose to influence him at this time.
He could see Zhao Yijiu, who was exploring the first compartment behind him, and it looked very normal. He could also use his light to glimpse himself in the mirror and look at Zhao Yijiu when he looked at him. Yu Xing said, "Brother Jiu, your shoelaces are open."
Zhao Yijiu in the mirror seemed to be stunned for a moment, then bent down to look at the shoes. Due to the light, his legs were hidden in the darkness and the shoes could not be seen clearly. Two seconds later, the person in the mirror had already half-squatted down and started to tie his shoelaces. Yu Xing hooked the corners of his mouth.
He looked back and Zhao Yijiu was also tying her shoelaces behind her, unable to see the difference between the mirror and the reality, but there was always a little messy in her ears, with extremely tiny sounds appearing.
"Ah, I forgot." Yu Xing smiled, "Our school uniforms and leather shoes do not have shoelaces."
As soon as these words came out, both the people behind him, and the people in the mirror and Zhao Yijiu stopped moving.
The person behind him became silent, forming a sculpture, and was still moving, but Zhao Yijiu in the mirror stood up and stared at him unscrupulously with his unique and gloomy eyes.
In the mirror, Yu Xing turned his head and turned back. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was laughing, and as if he was looking at it. No matter which moment, his expression was exactly the same as Yu Xing's habit.
Such silence and gaze lasted for a long time. Yu Xing could not help but chuckled, and used the words the person in the mirror to hear as the opening remark: "Who are you?"
"I am..." Yu Xing in the mirror smiled very comfortably and calmly, "Yu Xing."
The person in the mirror did not read out the character name of Yu Xing in the dungeon, but directly said his real name, and then "put his right hand on" the mirror, and his fingertips were pressed into a smooth plane by the cold mirror.
"I am Yu Xing, so what about you?" Yu Xing asked in the mirror, "There is Brother Jiu behind me, and Brother Jiu behind you, but yours can no longer move. How about it? Have you ever thought of anything?"
"I think that keeping ghosts quiet will greatly improve their sense of mystery and deterrence. Once they talk too much, they will appear to be no different from humans, except for reproductive isolation." Yu Xinghui smiled the same smile as the person in the mirror, and spoke more annoying than the person in the mirror. "Why don't you know when to talk less?"
"I have always talked so much." Yu Xing in the mirror seemed to have heard some funny jokes, "Sure enough, the only thing that makes me feel most interesting is myself."
The person inside gently tapped the mirror with his fingers: "I just want to tease you and see your expression of being deceived by myself. In fact, I am pushing you five days behind the timeline you are in. We are already alone."
As he said that, Yu Xing in the mirror turned his head and said, "Brother Jiu, do you want to say hello to me five days ago?"
Zhao Yijiu in the mirror shook her head bored and refused, and also withdrew her gaze from Yu Xing who was staring outside the mirror.
It's really similar, every word and action is like something he will do.
Unfortunately, Yu Xing still didn't believe it. He raised his gaze slightly and looked into the sink in the mirror. The sink in the mirror was the same as outside the mirror, clean, and there was no redness, and there was no source of the bloody smell.
"It's not the world of inside and outside, nor is it the world of positive and negative. Do you think you are very clever?" Yu Xing looked at the person who was exactly the same as him in the mirror, shook his head, "Mirror, the reflection of people, the old saying goes, "With people as mirrors, you can dress and wear."
The person in the mirror gives an interesting look.
"No matter what internal story there is in St. Jones Middle School, it is always a school. I guess the students here have heard similar arguments, right? Organize the appearance and look at me three times a day, and the same sentences are similar." Yu Xing said, "I seem to understand. You, or the mirror, are the obsessions of students who once existed in this school during evening self-study?"
The expressions of the person in the mirror faded, and he seemed to be a little confused.
Yu Xing saw through the confused look and said, "Although there is no need to tell you, seeing that you are reflecting my face now, I will barely let you understand. The villain died because he talks too much, but fortunately I am not a villain."
"What will happen during this special period of evening self-study? Although I don't have enough information to support it, I don't need to make responsible guesses. I have passed many times in my mind. There will be many things in the darkness of this period of time for students, including the shadows that will be punished if they don't write their homework properly. Speaking loudly, walking alone, and not being etiquette may also allow them to encounter terrible things."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "To put it bluntly, everything is just a sense of anxiety and oppression in their hearts. They are afraid that they cannot write their homework well, they are afraid that they will be caught by the teachers and red armbands of this school, and they are afraid that they live alone in a suffocating school without help, just like bullied Oliver."
Yu Xing shrugged at the image of his face in the mirror: "You are also obsessed with - of course, this is definitely not something I had expected, but the conclusion I found out after I discovered that my vision was disturbed and distorted. "
"Are you so confident?" The man in the mirror still used Yu Xing's tone.
