With the hope of reuniting with her friends, Xiaolan followed Xia Hua and Yi Yao and confidently walked out of the door of the dean's office.
As soon as she went out, Xiaolan was really shocked.
The world outside the door was dark, with only the white light emitted from the door vaguely outlining the surroundings. Xiaolan blinked and looked intently at her feet.
Under her feet, there was a pool of black and red viscous liquid. Xiaolan raised her feet, but the liquid seemed to be stuck to the soles of her shoes, pulling out black and red threads.
There is a strange smell floating in the air.
"It's weird," Xia Hua also noticed something under her feet, "There wasn't anything like this just now."
As he finished speaking, a sound like waves gradually surged in the darkness not far away.
That voice is getting closer.
The three people looked at each other blankly, and then, almost at the same time, they showed horrified expressions.
The sound of water...
The dean who died of drowning began to attack.
***
Several people took turns looking at the mirror, but they couldn't see any change in it.
After making difficult decisions (mainly persuading Zhou Ye), several people finally made up their minds to enter the backwaters to look for Xia Hua, but a new problem posed before them - how to get in?
"How about breaking it and taking a look?" Zhou Ye sat on the toilet next to him and reluctantly watched them working for a long time. "Maybe the entrance is at the back."
Luo Jiutian put down the toilet brush in his hand, turned around and said helplessly, "Do you think we haven't tried it?"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said, "There is no way to break it. There is not even a scratch. Sure enough, this is no ordinary mirror."
"I think we can work backwards," Li Muyuan held his chin and said thoughtfully, "How did the head of the Xiahua family get in?"
"I still think Sister Hua was caught," Luo Jiutian said. "I know Sister Hua. She will never leave us here and go on an adventure by herself without saying a word."
"Then let's assume that Xia Hua was taken away," Li Muyuan continued, "she must have triggered some conditions before she was sucked in by the stagnant water."
Everyone understood what Li Muyuan meant.
"What were Xia Hua doing when she disappeared?" the Taoist priest followed his train of thought and asked.
"Taking a...bath?" Zhou Ye said tentatively.
"No, she probably just took a shower," Luo Jiutian replied, "Sister Hua just walked out of the bathroom and disappeared."
"Then how about we perform it again exactly as it is?" Li Muyuan put forward a more constructive suggestion.
"Uh...then who will act?" Zhou Ye asked.
The eyes of several people all turned to Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye shivered.
A few minutes later, Zhou Ye, who was angry and scared, turned off the shower in front of everyone, wrapped himself in the bathrobe next to him, reluctantly imitated Xia Hua's steps, and walked to the bathroom door.
He took a deep breath nervously and reached out to push open the door.
Walked out slowly.
One step...two steps...
Nothing happened.
Zhou Ye relaxed his tone and calmly walked the remaining few steps before returning to the bathroom and shrugging at the people hiding behind the shower curtain, "You see, I can't do it."
"What's the problem?" Li Muyuan bit his lower lip.
"By the way," the Taoist priest suddenly said, "didn't we fall asleep when Xia Hua's accident happened?"
Luo Jiutian nodded, "So we still have to pretend to be asleep now, right?"
"Our sleep at that time was very abnormal," Li Muyuan said calmly. "We fell into an extremely deep sleep at the same time. This has never happened before."
"You mean, the force that captured Sister Hua had already started to attack Sister Hua when we entered this room?" Luo Jiutian asked.
"I'm afraid that's the case," the Taoist priest said.
"Then Xia Hua must have some special qualities that were noticed by that force." Zhou Ye tried hard to get rid of the job of pretending to be Xia Hua, "What could it be?... Could it be because of Xia Hua?
It’s too strong, so we have to choose a strong person..."
"Maybe it's not because of the power..." the Taoist priest said implicitly.
After all, there is a future human god on the scene. Although Luo Jiutian is still in his unfinished body, when it comes to potential power, no one can compare to him.
"Is it because of gender?" Li Muyuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief again.
Gender, fortunately, at least I am not a woman.
"Then... is that power an old pervert?" Luo Jiutian was so surprised that his hair stood up, "Oh my God... Sister Hua..."
"Don't worry about your sister Hua. As far as I know, anyone who dares to miss the Xiahua family will have a bad end," Li Muyuan said calmly, "But if it is really because the Xiahua family is a girl, they were sucked into that world.
If so...how should we get in?"
Everyone frowned and thought for a while, and then their eyes gradually focused on Zhou Ye.
"What are you looking at me for?!" Zhou Ye was so excited that he almost stepped on the bath towel in his hand, "I'm a man!"
"But you are a beautiful boy," Luo Jiutian said, "very fair and delicate."
Zhou Ye has never felt that being looked at by a man is such a disgusting thing.
"I'm not fair, nor beautiful," Zhou Ye said quickly, "I think Li Muyuan is more beautiful."
The Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian looked at Li Muyuan again.
"Don't look at me, I'm not beautiful," Li Muyuan said expressionlessly, "Besides, Zhou Ye, if you dare to push me out, I won't even want your injured leg."
Zhou Ye was aggrieved and turned into a crying cat. He sat there and shut himself up for a long time. Finally, he mustered up the courage, gritted his teeth and raised his head and asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"
Compared with his dignity, he still cares more about his injured leg.
Half an hour later, the new plan began to be implemented.
It’s still a familiar team, and it’s still a familiar “heroine”.
This time, the other people were lying down in the living room, while Zhou Ye stood alone under the shower head and actually took a shower.
The moment I turned off the shower, the surroundings became quiet again.
There was a light yellow mist in the bathroom. Zhou Ye sighed, wrapped himself in a bath towel and put on his slippers.
Zhou Ye walked to the mirror and took a look at the mirror.
The mirror was filled with steam again.
Behind the steam, something seemed to be flowing.
He could hear even breathing coming from outside the door.
Damn it, are they really asleep?
Then I will really hate them.
Zhou Ye hugged his shoulders, shivered, took heavy steps, and reached out to grab the bathroom door.
An inexplicable chill rolled over him from behind.
Zhou Ye closed her eyes helplessly.
I'm afraid...this plan really succeeded...
I finished writing it last night and forgot to post it (*)
