Chapter 15 The Fifteenth Night Mirror Demon

I didn't see Luo Lei at the newspaper office, and I asked her colleagues that she didn't even ask for leave. I was a little surprised. I had an appointment today to pick up Ji Yan from the hospital. Luo Lei is not a person who breaks the appointment.I didn't bother to proofread the manuscript, and hurried to Luo Lei's house after asking the boss for an errand. Luo Lei lives in her own old house. Her parents are both abroad, but the family has inserted a small one-story house in this city of tall buildings. It may be a good location, but it has not been demolished. It is said that the house is old Yes, it was still made by her grandfather at that time, it is considered a half-history.There are a lot of things left by her grandparents in the house, some years old, but Luo Lei has been unwilling to do so, maybe it has something to do with her growing up here.

After changing cars twice, I turned into a small alley. Although this alley was straight, it was long and narrow like chopsticks. Basically, when I met someone head-on, I always had to give way to someone.And the two sides are very high, even if there is enough light, it is very dark here, and it feels chilly when you walk in. Luo Lei's house is in a vacant lot, and the nearest house next to it is estimated to be 180 meters away, and it is estimated that even this place will be demolished soon.The door was closed tightly. I knocked for a long time but no one opened the door, so I had to go to the other side of the house.There is a yard at the back of the square. She likes to grow some flowers, and it is usually regarded as a back door.Fortunately, the law and order here is good, but it would be bad if there were thieves.

I looked inside through the window, it was very quiet, and there was no light, I knew that if she was at home, she would be reading in the bedroom on the right side of the window.Is she not at home?I called again and no one answered.Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sound like something being thrown. "Luo Lei! Luo Lei, are you at home?" I patted the window a few more times.This time I heard it more clearly, it was the sound of glass being broken.I thought badly, did a thief break into the house?I knocked open the back door, rushed in, and saw Luo Lei in the toilet.

She was lying on the ground in her pajamas with disheveled hair, and there were glass shards everywhere. I walked around carefully, only to see that her wrist was actually cut open, and the other hand was holding a glass that was so good that there was blood on it.I was terrified, so I quickly helped her to the bed, bandaged her briefly with my handkerchief, and then called the hospital and Ji Yan.Fortunately, her wound was not deep, and she probably didn't use much strength when cutting it, but she was very weak and remained in a coma. I made her lie down.It was strange in my heart, logically Luo Lei had no reason to commit suicide, she was still smiling a few days ago, and even if the work pressure was heavy, she would not commit suicide.I looked at the room.Almost all the glass was gone, and I looked again at the trash can, which was full of debris.

"Strange. Even if you commit suicide and break a piece of glass, that's enough." I was thinking in the dark, the power supply seemed to be turned off by Luo Lei herself.I didn't find the main gate and gave up. Suddenly I heard a mouse-like cry, although it was very soft, but I still heard it.Then something seemed to skip by my feet at a high speed, so fast that I almost didn't realize it.But let alone mice in an old house, even a snake is not surprising. Luo Lei was quickly sent to the hospital, and Ji Yan also came.He looked at the scene and was puzzled, but he took out a piece of broken glass from the trash can and looked at it.But nothing new seems to be found.

"What do you think?" Seeing that he had been squatting and not opening his mouth, I took the initiative to ask him.Ji Yan looked up at me and smiled. "I don't know, I'll ask Luo Lei when she wakes up." When we arrived at the hospital, Luo Lei was already awake, but she seemed depressed, and kept asking people for a mirror.But as soon as she took the mirror, she looked at it and immediately threw it on the wall. When we arrived, the nurse was already angry. "I've never seen anything like this, just send it to a mental hospital." A little nurse came out angrily.Luo Lei cried when she saw us.

"Ji Yan, Ouyang, I want a mirror! I want a mirror." As he spoke, he held my hand, and I looked at Ji Yan at a loss.He is still smiling.Stretched out his left hand to press on Luo Lei's person, then bent his right thumb and middle finger to make a movement towards her eyes, and then hugged her into his arms, Luo Lei unexpectedly calmed down very quickly. "Tell me, what's wrong with you?" Ji Yan put Luo Lei on the bed and helped her lie down. "Last night after I took a shower, I put on my pajamas and combed my hair in front of the mirror as usual. There was nothing at first. I combed it but found that the mirror suddenly became more and more blurry." Luo Lei put her hands on her chest Before, her eyes were wide open, and it could be seen that she was still terrified of what happened last night.

"At first I thought it was the water vapor in the bathroom, so I wiped it, and as soon as I took it off, I saw that my hair was as white as if it had been splashed with paint. I was shocked, but my hair was still black ...followed by my rapid aging in the mirror, just like in the movies, showing the skin getting old and wrinkled, then the eyes sunken and the cheeks shriveled, and finally turned into a skull. You know I freaked out and rushed out In the bathroom, I looked for other mirrors, and all I saw was a replay of that scene. I smashed all the mirrors. In the end, even if there were no mirrors, the image of my rapid aging would appear on the wall out of thin air, The lights couldn’t be turned off, so I had to turn off the main gate. I struggled all night, and in the morning my mind was dizzy. When I walked into the bathroom, I saw the image printed on the tiles under my feet. I finally collapsed and turned the wall The glass on the ceiling was smashed, and I felt as if I was really dying, and then I picked up the glass and committed suicide unconsciously, but fortunately Ouyang came early." She curled up like a kitten, it seemed that she really shouldn't be scared up.

"So you've been asking for a mirror just now? Want to see if you're really getting old?" Ji Yan asked. Luo Lei nodded, then burst into tears, she sat on the bed and touched her face. "Look, look, see if I've really become an old woman?" Ji Yan and I looked at each other, dumbfounded.I let her lie down, and then comforted her and said: "No, of course not, you are the most beautiful in our company, now and in the future, you will be as beautiful as usual after you wake up, you still have a lot of work Waiting for you." Luo Lei was indeed much quieter, and lay down obediently like a child.

Ji Yan said to me: "I already know what it is, but we have to go back to her house to lie down. Luo Lei's mood is not very stable now, so let's go when she gets better." I nodded. I still have something to do, so after more than an hour, I saw Luo Lei fell asleep and went back to the agency.Before leaving, Ji Yan told me not to pay too much attention to what I saw, wait for him to find me, and then we will go to Luo Lei's house together, I wonder why he told me these things, but he is the kind of person who doesn't ask and doesn't tell , I was in a hurry, so I didn't think much about it.

I felt a little anxious when I returned to the agency by car, so I went to the toilet.There is a very huge wall mirror in our club toilet.When I washed my hands, I took a picture of it and sorted it out. Just as I was about to turn around and drive in, I suddenly heard someone calling me. "Ouyang!" It was Luo Lei's voice, strange, why did she run out?And she should be in the hospital.I looked back, there was nothing in the toilet, I smiled and patted myself on the head, this is the men's toilet, even if she came, she couldn't be here. But on my second turn I realized something was wrong. There is a mirror image of me in the tall and wide mirror. Everyone looks in the mirror, and the image inside is themselves. But out of the corner of my eye I saw it.I was turning around, but inside I was still standing there.I waved my hand strangely, but the "I" inside was already standing there. No matter what you see, don’t believe it, I suddenly remembered Ji Yan’s advice, don’t worry about it, it’s just a hallucination, go out with your eyes closed!I really walked out with my eyes closed, but when I thought I was walking out of the toilet, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in front of the mirror, my face almost touched the mirror, and almost touched the "me" inside The me inside seems to be me, but the appearance is very hideous, and especially the eyes, there are no pupils!Just a gray one.And it seems that it will burst out of the mirror and come to me soon.I held the sink with my hands in fear as if to leave, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't do it.I suddenly understood that when we usually look in the mirror, when you walk towards the mirror, the image in the mirror will also walk towards you, but now it seems that I have become an image, and my body is completely out of control. My feet were completely numb, as if they were welded in place, and I was looking at me in the mirror with a sneer, and for the first time I felt that my face was so disgusting and hateful. Suddenly something was added to my shoulder, I couldn't turn my head, it seemed that my whole body was frozen, I could only look at the things around me through the mirror, even though I knew it was supposed to be unreal. It's a hand, there is a hand on the shoulder, slowly touching it from the shoulder.That hand is all I know, the hand that holds the Band-Aid.I couldn't be more familiar with that hand, and the fear hidden deep in my heart was suddenly fully revealed.It was her hand. The pale and slender hand stroked all the way down the shoulder, I seemed to feel that there was something on the shoulder, and then there was the familiar whisper: "I'm here, I'm looking at you." I couldn't hold it any longer, and suddenly I heard Ji Yan's voice, which seemed to be far away and nearby.Then my image in the mirror began to blur.Then it disappeared, replaced by me standing there with a look of astonishment like an idiot, next to Ji Yan. "Sure enough, it's a mirror demon." Ji Yan came over and patted my face to wake me up. I also rinsed it with cold water. After hearing what he said, I asked strangely, "Mirror demon?" "En." Ji Yan answered me while taking out a brush.He took out another iron box the size of a cigarette box. "Mirror monsters are the most common monsters. They usually hide in mirrors or anything that can reflect the scene. They like to play tricks. Once the person who looks in the mirror is turned into a mirror by the mirror monster, he sees his eyes. Oh, yes, the mirror monster Unlike human beings, they don’t have a complete soul, so they seem to have no pupils, but if you make eye contact with these eyes, it will know what you are most afraid of in your heart.” He opened the box, and there was a yellow inside. yellow.Then he dipped a brush and filled the mirror with words, as if it were Buddhist scriptures.In the end, there was only a place with a large mouth in the middle. "Is there a thermos?" He turned to me after finishing writing.I rushed to the office right away, it was not easy to find a thermos now, but I managed to find one next door.When she came, Ji Yan was covering the unwritten area with her hand.He took the thermos bottle and opened the lid, aligned the mouth of the bottle, opened his palms violently, and leaned the bottle over.I saw the bottle move violently a few times, and then it screamed like a mouse.Ji Yan quickly put the lid back on, and then pasted a seal with good words on it. "Ordinary methods to deal with mirror monsters are useless. As long as there is something that can reflect light, they can escape. So it is best to lock it in a hot water bottle. Haha." He said and shook the bottle twice. I asked him suspiciously: "Why can't I move, and what Luo Lei and I see are different." "You and Luo Lei are just hypnotized by it. The mirror demon knows what you are afraid of by observing your heart, and then releases it on the mirror. When human beings are afraid, it is naturally the time when the spirit resists manipulation. The mirror demon Of course it will control you. But it has no malicious intentions, it just likes to tease people, and I will keep it in a thermos for a few days and it will know its mistake." As he spoke, he shook the thermos again, and there were a few dull strange sounds from inside the bottle. Call. "Let him go? What if it goes around and hurts people in other people's mirrors?" Luo Lei's appearance and what happened to me made me hate this guy a bit.Ji Yan listened and thought for a while. "It's dangerous for you and Luo Lei to meet these guys alone, how about this, I will seal the mirror demon in your eyes and become a part of you, so that it can prevent it from messing around, and you can also protect yourself in times of crisis Ability." "What's the use of that? Is this guy very powerful?" I thought to myself that it seems to have nothing to do except create hallucinations. "You are wrong. If you have the ability of the mirror demon, you can easily find out other people's weaknesses, and most people will be controlled by you. How about it, if you object, then I have no choice but to take it back and seal it forever." In the bottle The mirror demon seemed to know it, calling loudly, and the hot water bottle was shaking violently. "Well, well, that sounds good." I agreed anyway. "But you have to remember, once you put your eyes into the mirror demon, you will see things that you can't see before, but don't be afraid." Ji Yan asked me to stretch out my hand, and then took the heel The silver needle pricked it, and my blood dripped into the mouth of the bottle. "Come out." Ji Yan shouted at the bottle, and an object with the shape of a newborn kitten jumped out. It was all white but translucent, with slender ears and a small pointed mouth.The front two claws are much smaller than the back, a bit like a mole.The eyes are about the size of mung beans, looking around alertly. "If you still dare to mess around, I'll seal you up forever." Ji Yan shouted at it.The mirror demon shrank into a ball in fear.I'm starting to like this little guy a little bit. "Only you and I can see it. Ordinary people can't see the mirror demon. If you don't want to seal it in your eyes, let it follow you. Treat it as a pet." The mirror demon jumped on my shoulder, as if Do you feel it at all? "Okay, great." I teased the mirror demon with my hand, it was very cold. "Okay, it's getting late. If you don't want to see it, you can tell it to disappear. The mirror demon is very human." Ji Yan looked at her watch and said that he and I should go pick up Luo Lei and be discharged from the hospital, but the mirror demon Don't tell her about it, just tell her it's a hallucination caused by too much work pressure.On the way, I asked Ji Yan why there was a mirror demon in Luo Lei's place.Ji Yan replied that items that have been used for a long time will absorb people's breath, especially mirrors, which reflect people's appearance all the year round, and will naturally form spiritual objects after a long time.But these guys can only get part of the human spirit, so most of them are not very powerful.
