【017】There is someone in the mirror
This is the conference room of the hotel. There is no private bathroom. To go to the bathroom, you have to enter a guest room. Zhong Kui remembers that on the right side of the exit, a little past, is the guest room.
He went to look at the corridor. Although the lights were dim, the surrounding environment could be clearly seen with the naked eye. After pointing out the direction to Xiao Ming, he returned to the conference room, leaned against his desk and closed his eyes to sleep.
I don’t know if you have that feeling. When you just fall asleep and then get up again, whether you take off your clothes to sleep or not, your body will always feel a little inexplicably cold after you get up.
Xiao Ming also felt very cold. This cold feeling came after entering the bathroom. He felt that it was much colder than the conference room.
In those days, anyone who had stayed in a guest house knew that public restrooms were used, and there were usually people cleaning the restrooms, so the restrooms were fairly clean.
But there are some public restrooms that are not cleaned. Not only do they stink to the sky, but the squatting pits are overflowing with feces and urine. Garbage, paper, and flies are flying all over the sky. Sometimes, when there are many people in, flies will swat on your face. It’s unbelievable. Is there anyone who doesn’t believe it?
Xiao Ming was born in a rural area, and he felt that the environment in his master's house was good. This was a high-end hotel environment, and he was even more surprised by the layout of the facilities here.
The facilities in the bathroom are more advanced than those in a house where people live. The floor is paved with imported marble tiles. A clear and transparent mirror is at the entrance. When he entered, it even startled him a little. When he took a closer look, he saw himself. image in the mirror.
There were only Xiao Ming and Master in the entire hotel, and it was as quiet as if no one was there. The bathroom was even more eerily quiet, with shadow-reflecting wall tiles, shiny water valves, and smooth and neatly arranged urinals, all white and flawless. Everything in the squatty toilet was so fresh in his eyes. There seemed to be a coldness invisible to the naked eye hidden in the freshness. Entering the bathroom, Xiao Ming shuddered inexplicably and glanced at the layout of the bathroom. The bathroom is spacious and bright. In the four square meters of space, the most eye-catching thing is the mirror that reflects the human figure.
Everyone has a psychology, that is, they want to take a look in front of the mirror.
After Xiao Ming finished urinating, he casually walked to the mirror and took a look. Just when he raised his eyes to look at the mirror, suddenly, within a second, a white shadow flashed past.
Xiao Ming was startled and quickly took a closer look, but there was nothing on the mirror. He looked around again, breathing in the cold air in the bathroom, trying to catch something in the quiet atmosphere.
The space was still quiet, and there was no abnormal phenomenon in front of him. He thought; the master had said before that there were no ghosts here, so what was this white shadow?
Could it be that there is fog on the mirror, and he is too tired to see the reality, which is an hallucination? Thinking this way, Xiao Ming stepped forward and touched the mirror. The mirror was cold and ice-like, but it was very clean and there was no fog.
His fingers touched the mirror, and a cold feeling flowed like mercury, invading his heart. The coldness spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body in an instant, and he looked around in panic. He quickly exited the bathroom and trotted, running. In the empty and quiet corridor, I became more and more panicked. My heart was beating like a drum. I didn't dare to look behind me, and I didn't dare to stay for a while. I just wanted to run into the meeting where Master was. Go to the room.
After running into the conference room where Master was staying, he pushed the door hard with his backhand and closed it with a loud bang. He leaned against the door leaf and kept breathing with his mouth open.
The sound of the door closing woke Zhong Kui from his sleep. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ming who was running in. He yawned and asked, "What happened?"
Seeing that the master who was resting was disturbed, Xiao Ming hurriedly stabilized his body, looked at him as if nothing happened, and said: "...Hi, Master, you're awake." Although he tried his best to act as if nothing was wrong, his small chest was not His symptoms were rising and falling, and his nose was twitching violently. No matter how he looked at it, his symptoms were caused by excessive stress and panic.
"Why are you panting? If you see something, tell me."
"I~I saw a 'person' in the mirror"
"What, don't say you are dazzled,"
"There is no dazzle, just a white shadow,"
"Come on, take me to have a look," Zhong Kui stood up and said.
"Um, Master, you're not going to sleep anymore," Xiao Ming looked at him hesitantly. He felt that he was too ignorant and disturbed Master's nap.
Zhong Kui didn't believe it. He had clearly eliminated those ghost bosses before, how could there still be ghost bosses? If there really were still ghost bosses, they must be hiding in the dark, or for other reasons, not showing up.
When the two masters and apprentices came to the bathroom, Xiao Ming was naturally frightened and followed the master closely.
"Inside," Zhong Kui asked Xiao Ming.
"Yes, in the mirror inside,"
Looking at the smooth mirror, Zhong Kui reached out and touched it. He didn't feel anything was wrong. He turned to look at Xiao Ming, who looked nervous, and said, "It's nothing."
"Well, I really saw a white shadow just now, and it disappeared in a whoosh,"
Zhong Kui stretched out his hand and touched the mirror. The cold feeling invaded all-pervasively. What his fingertips touched seemed not to be the mirror, but like ice cubes. "Hiss," he shrank his hand and stared at the mirror for a long time, but could not see anything.
Since he couldn't see anything, and considering that it was already late, Zhong Kui said to Xiao Ming: "Go back and rest, it's almost dawn,"
"Oh," Xiao Ming said, turned around, and glanced at the mirror again. He moved his eyes away from the mirror, looked at the dim corridor light, glanced at the master's face in a hurry, and walked straight to the conference room. .
Zhong Kui frowned. After Xiao Ming moved away, he subconsciously glanced at the unusual and cold mirror and followed Xiao Ming to the conference room.
There is one thing that Xiao Ming can't figure out all the time, that is, since this is a hotel and there are so many comfortable guest rooms, why doesn't Master sleep in the guest room with the soft Simmons instead of sleeping on the bare, hard desk without any obstruction? Going to rest.
Zhong Kui had his own idea. The reason why he did not stay in the guest room was because there was an unwritten rule when walking in the world. He did not owe a "conscience debt" and "never do anything that would poke someone's spine."
Xiao Ming glanced at Master just now and found that he frowned, so he started to think wildly in his heart. What he thought was that Master must think that he was lying and deliberately said that there was someone in the mirror, so he was unhappy.
He silently returned to the conference room, lay down properly, and pretended to close his eyes...
