Chapter 11 Mirror Travel
Chapter 11 Mirror Travel
"I don't want to hurt anyone, but I have no choice..."
"That demon kidnapped my wife and son. To save them, I need to exchange two lives. I have no choice..."
"I did something wrong, I admit it, you can kill me or torture me, I'll accept it, but please, my wife and son are innocent..."
"Please, please..."
As if experiencing a final burst of energy before death, Chen Ming, whose body was already mostly rotting, still had the strength to get up and kneel before Lin Yuan, kowtowing heavily.
It was as if this would soften Lin Yuan's heart, make him let go, or even save his wife and children.
Chen Ming slammed his head against the ground so hard that a large area was stained red in just a few blows. But after a short while, Chen Ming never got up again.
He is dead.
Lin Yuan stared blankly at the scene before him, quite surprised by his own condition.
As an ordinary working-class person, the only life and death he had ever truly witnessed were the deaths of his ancestors and the situations he encountered in his delusional fantasies.
Chen Ming's death was so gruesome that it made Lin Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.
"My consciousness tells me I should feel nauseous enough to vomit, but my body tells me that nothing is wrong and there's no need to make a fuss."
"I'm no longer a normal person after all. Is this the world of demon tamers?"
Lin Yuan raised his left hand and then lowered it again, taking one last look at Chen Ming's corpse on the ground before turning and walking towards the bedroom. "How foolish. To actually believe that someone like Ouyang Tian would let his wife and children go. Or perhaps, he already guessed it, but just didn't want to believe it?"
As Lin Yuan approached the bedroom door, he heard a soft sobbing and whimpering sound.
But the sound didn't come from a human mouth. Instead, a cell phone on a small table by the door was playing a recording on a loop.
If you listen carefully, you can hear that the recording loops for only about seven seconds.
The bedroom was in a mess. A little boy's body lay on the floor, and further ahead were scattered clothes. Finally, on the large bed, a woman lay with her eyes wide open.
"I'm really not human anymore."
Lin Yuan touched his left chest, where his heartbeat had dropped to its lowest point, almost only once a minute. The cruel scene before him seemed to have no effect on him whatsoever.
He turned around and went back to the living room.
Lin Yuan glanced at Ghost Slave Ouyang Tian, then walked to the entrance hall.
There's a full-length mirror hanging here, probably used by Chen Ming's family to check their clothes before going out. It perfectly reflects Lin Yuan's entire body.
At this moment, Lin Yuan in the mirror showed no abnormalities.
Until Lin Yuan removed the Great Sage mask from his left cheek, revealing his face covered in theatrical makeup, the "Lin Yuan" in the mirror seemed to have gained consciousness, suddenly revealing a charming smile and then reaching out his hand.
Unlike last time in the mall, Lin Yuan did not avoid her; instead, he took the initiative to walk forward.
next moment.
He walked into the mirror, but strangely, from the outside, there was nothing in the mirror.
Not only did Lin Yuan, who had just walked in, disappear, but the "Lin Yuan" in the mirror, who had developed self-awareness, also vanished without a trace.
After Lin Yuan disappeared, Ghost Slave Ouyang Tian, who had been standing quietly, moved.
It walked to the door with very stiff movements, then pulled open the door and went out.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of the ghost servants in the stairwell, and soon three ghost servants rushed out and pounced on the direction of Ghost Servant Ouyang Tian.
Ghost Slave Ouyang Tian made no move, letting the ghost slaves pounce on him.
The next moment, the purplish-brown veins that were originally only on Ghost Slave Ouyang Tian had crawled up the bodies of the Ghost Slave through the points of contact.
Wherever the blood vessels passed, decay occurred.
In just a short while, the three ghost slaves completely rotted into a pile of rotten flesh, and the theatrical makeup on Ghost Slave Ouyang Tian's face was slowly disappearing.
Instead, there were purplish-brown blood vessels that seemed to bulge out from under the skin.
An even colder aura emanated from the corpse, and the purplish-brown blood vessels, which could only invade through physical contact, were now spreading through the corpse's feet to the floor and slowly extending outwards.
At that moment, the floor seemed to breathe, as the purplish-brown veins began to pulsate.
……
"This is the world in the mirror? What a boring world."
Lin Yuan stood at the entrance, but this was no longer reality; instead, it was the mirror world where his "reflection" resided.
The reason he was able to enter this place was due to the last ability in the information within his mind, which was also the ability that interested him the most:
Mirroring the surface!
The world in the mirror didn't seem to be much different from reality, except that the left and right sides were reversed. For example, Lin Yuan's left face became normal, while his right face was covered with makeup.
He turned to look out the mirror.
You can clearly see that the floor and walls in the entryway are covered with purplish-brown veins, which are pulsating rhythmically.
"The ghost controlled by Ouyang Tian has indeed revived. The ghost slaves created by the curse are still no match for the revival of the real vengeful ghost."
"Perfect, let this ghost go and bump into the ghosts in this building, maybe there'll be a chance..."
Hearing footsteps, Lin Yuan turned around abruptly and saw another version of himself standing at the bedroom door, calmly looking at him.
It is worth noting that.
Behind "myself" was the bedroom door, but instead of a bedroom, there was only darkness.
Just looking at it gave Lin Yuan a sense of fear, as if going inside would lead to great terror, or even death.
That's not all.
The views from the other rooms and windows were all the same—a dead end.
The only exit from this mirror world seemed to be the mirror behind him, but the memory clearly told him that he could find another exit by simply looking at the mirror world.
Was I scammed?
Just then, "Lin Yuan," standing at the bedroom door, suddenly raised his right hand, made a delicate gesture with his fingers, and parted his thin lips slightly, letting out a series of mournful female voices:
"This body remains the same, and so does this soul..."
Lin Yuan's expression turned solemn. Suddenly, he realized that his right hand had risen uncontrollably, and he was imitating the "himself" opposite him by making a delicate pinky gesture.
Even more terrifying.
He discovered that the other half of his mouth on the right side of his face had also begun to open, and a woman's voice came from that half of his mouth: "My body has passed away, but my soul remains... Year after year, month after month..."
