Chapter 25 The Mystery of the Mirror
——I have always believed that as long as I work hard enough, there is always a way to get into the mirror.
Zhuang Xiaoxia stood alone in the corridor of the classroom.
The night was as cold as water, and there was no light in the dark corridor. Only the bathroom at the end of the corridor made a beep, beep, beep sound from time to time.
That's the faucet dripping.
The monotonous and boring voice was covered with a veil, making it appear extremely dull and terrifying in this dead space.
——But now, how should I get out?
Zhuang Xiaoxia was walking up and down the corridor. She had been walking around the school recently. How many days had it been? The campus that should have been vibrant had become gray and mottled in Zhuang Xiaoxia's world.
Just like this corridor, it is shabby, like a faded old photo, without color.
Zhuang Xiaoxia only knew that a long time ago, when she woke up, she came into this world. This world was upside down. Although there were still familiar plants and trees in it, it was still the familiar Spring City Xicheng Middle School where she had studied for two years.
.
However, there was no one else in the school except her.
There wasn't even any other living thing. It seemed like there was no other living thing in the world except her.
Time was passing slowly. Zhuang Xiaoxia was so frightened at first that she huddled in the corner and shivered, waiting for the sun to rise and for her classmates outside the school to enter the campus again.
However, dawn did not come.
He never came from beginning to end.
Zhuang Xiaoxia began to explore this campus-like campus, and soon she discovered that this school was different from what she remembered.
Spring City Xicheng Middle School was renovated and renovated last year, but it is dilapidated, dark, and lonely.
Yes, the most terrifying thing is loneliness.
The longer Zhuang Xiaoxia stayed there after recovering from her initial fear, the more she felt that she was going crazy.
But when did she suddenly realize that she had actually entered the mirror?
In this ghost place where there is no day but only night, I discovered this fact only by chance.
She came to the women's bathroom by chance and glanced at the mirror on the sink. At that moment, she saw light.
In this world, there is no light, and she has to work very hard to see what is nearby. But when her eyes fall on the mirror, she sees a bright world.
Outside the mirror, everything is upside down, but in the inversion just across the mirror, there are many girls gossiping, laughing, and playing around.
It was bright there, blindingly bright, and full of life.
But once Zhuang Xiaoxia takes her eyes away from the mirror, the vibrant world will disappear. In her eyes, only the gray and dirty bathroom is still left.
From that moment on, she understood that she had somehow entered the mirror.
She looked greedily at the world outside the mirror. The familiar scenes could no longer be ordinary. They were daily routines that she would never cherish. But only after losing them did she understand how precious that kind of ordinaryness is.
She knocked on the mirror countless times, trying to break this thin barrier and return to the original world.
She screamed in the mirror, heartbroken.
But all of them are of no use at all.
She was desperate.
In the mirror, there was no sense of time, and she didn't feel hungry.
But this kind of life is more terrifying than death. She even doesn't know if she can die of old age in the mirror. If she cannot grow old or die, she will be trapped in the mirror forever...
That kind of thing, that kind of thing, just thinking about it, makes Zhuang Xiaoxia's hair stand on end.
She is a timid girl, afraid of the dark, ghosts, and horror movies.
But now, she is only afraid of one thing.
Afraid, live!
The happiest thing for her every day is to look at her former classmates over and over again in front of every mirror. They attend class, they laugh, and they run on the playground.
It was as if everyone had forgotten about her, completely forgotten about her, and it was as if the time she had lived with them had never existed at all.
But she doesn't hate it.
She is just envious.
day to day.
Slowly, Zhuang Xiaoxia also found some patterns. Whenever light appeared in the mirror and classmates appeared, it was the beginning of a day.
The students left, night fell, the lights went out, and the outside of the mirror fell into darkness. That was the end of the day.
She found that when she knocked on the mirror, people outside seemed to notice it. She wanted to ask for help, but the people outside the mirror could only yell and scream with horror on their faces.
The world in the mirror is silent, but tonight is different.
very different.
Because, she actually heard the strange sound.
I heard the sound of water dripping from the faucet coming from the women's bathroom.
The voice was hazy, as if through a thick gauze, dull and monotonous, but it brought a little change to the silent Zhuang Xiaoxia's world.
Zhuang Xiaoxia looked at a large floor-to-ceiling mirror at the end of the corridor. The world outside the mirror was also dark. This meant that it was at least past ten o'clock in the evening and everyone had left.
Why can she hear sounds today?
Zhuang Xiaoxia couldn't hide her curiosity and walked towards the women's bathroom.
As she got closer and closer, suddenly, her whole body started to tremble, her expression was surprised and complicated.
Not only did she hear the dripping of water from the faucet, she could even hear someone talking.
For how long, I don't know how long, she looked at the world outside the mirror every day, but she seemed to have heard people's voices so long ago in her previous life.
The voice belonged to a girl about her age, there were three of them.
The more you listen, the more familiar it becomes.
"Peng Dan, Wen Jing, Yun Fangfei!"
The three voices are all Zhuang Xiaoxia's classmates and her best friends.
Her three friends lowered their voices, not knowing what they were saying. Zhuang Xiaoxia couldn't help crying and rushed into the women's bathroom excitedly.
The girl had only one thought. Could it be that she had left the world in the mirror and returned to reality?
But when she actually rushed into the bathroom, she found that the bathroom was dark, dirty, and mottled, which shattered her joy.
There was no one in the bathroom.
Zhuang Xiaoxia was desperate, and she subconsciously looked at the mirror on the sink.
At first glance, she was stunned.
Outside the mirror, three girls were sitting in a dark and small space. These three people were Zhuang Xiaoxia's friends, Peng Dan, Wen Jing and Yun Fangfei.
The three of them didn't know why, but they spread a picnic mat on the bathroom floor, sat on the floor, and lit a few candles. They didn't know what they were doing.
Zhuang Xiaoxia rubbed her eyes. The mirror in the mirror was different from the real world. The mirror couldn't reflect her appearance, it could only reflect the outside world.
But this scene is not real, it is always like watching a silent TV through a piece of dirty frosted glass.
Tonight, the voices of her three friends came strangely through the mirror.
"What are they doing?"
Zhuang Xiaoxia wiped the mirror with his hand, trying hard to see clearly what his three friends wanted to do.
Finally, she understood.
Peng Dan, Wen Jing and Yun Fangfei sneaked into the school secretly to invite
——Die Xian.
