If you want to say that this apartment is different from other places, it is a mirror that can be seen everywhere.
Whether it's in the hallway, on the floor, or on the ceiling, you can see your figure in countless mirrors as long as you turn it around. Even the dining restaurant, where you can see the floor-to-ceiling windows of the outside scenery, are also equipped with bright mirrors - or two-way.
When I think of people outside, I can see that they have a feeling of being peeped, which is very uncomfortable.
The apartment has a total of 34 floors. They went to other floors to check the situation and found that almost every floor has people. Although the number is small, the whole apartment is not empty. Minnan Candles also inquired about what happened in the apartment two years ago, but found that these households were almost moved in recently, and did not understand the fire accident two years ago.
After running outside for a day, they received very little information and only knew that a mother and a child were killed in the fire.
"Why is it a mother and child?" Lin Qiu-Shi thought carefully and felt that something was wrong. "Isn't it a family of three? Is that father?"
"The father's body is not found anyway." Minnan Candleway, "Maybe he has the breakthrough we want."
At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and the sunset casts the golden light on the outer layer of the apartment covered with mirrors.
"But where to find him." Lin Qiushi frowned. "There seems to be no one in this building who knows him."
The Minnan candle shook his head, indicating that he had not been able to figure out the clue.
The city at night is getting quieter.
There was no one on the winding streets, and the black lacquered hand did not see the fingers.
Lin Qiu Shi stood at the window and looked out. In fact, only this time, he could feel that the world in which he lived was inside the door, because the world outside his door could not be so quiet at night. Even if the night is deep, the city center will at least hear the sound of the car passing by. There is no pedestrian on the road, and the strange silence outside gives a very uncomfortable feeling.
Both Minnan Candle and Cheng Yizhen have finished washing and have climbed into the bed.
Lin Qiu Shi walked into the toilet and planned to wash it briefly.
He turned on the hot water switch and took a towel to pour hot water on it. There are also many mirrors in the toilet. Lin Qiu Shi has mirrors around the front and rear. These mirrors became a bit confusing in the smog, Lin Qiu Shi lowered his head and covered the towel with hot water on his face.
In the toilet, I could only hear the sound of slap in the water. Lin Qiu Shi lowered his head and suddenly felt that something was wrong. It was a very mysterious feeling. He did not see anything unusual, but his instincts gave an alarm. Lin Qiu-Shi’s movements were slightly stunned, and the surrounding light was observed with the rest of the light.
A few seconds later, Lin Qiushi found something wrong - he lowered his head, but the man in the mirror in front of him still remained erect, watching him quietly with the same face as him.
Lin Qiu Shi’s heart was clear. He took the towel in his hand and twisted it while walking toward the outside. When he walked to the toilet door, he glanced again at the mirror, but saw that the mirror had returned to normal. , did the same thing with him.
Lin Qiu Shi’s low voice swears.
"What's wrong?" Minnan candle looked up at him.
Lin Qiushi said: "Mirror..." He closed the toilet door. "The things in the mirror are different from those in reality."
Minnan Candle: "Different? Are you okay?"
"Nothing." Lin Qiu Shidao, "I pretended not to see, came out." He said, "I don't feel very good."
If he can, he would like to give up all the mirrors in the room, but they don't know if the broken mirror is the trigger for death, so you can only bite your teeth when you are safe.
"What to do." Lin Qiu Shi lowered his head and stared at his own feet. "I haven't washed my feet yet..."
Minnan’s candle blinked and he smiled and opened his bed:
Nothing, come up, I don’t deny you.
Lin Qiushi: "..."
Cheng Yizhen looked at his nose and looked at his heart, feeling indifferent, pretending that he did not see the pair of dogs and men.
However, when Lin Qiu-Sheng tangled himself or not to go in and wash his feet, there was a fierce quarrel outside the house, and with the quarrel, the broken mirror.
Lin Qiu Shi went to the door and looked out from the cat's eyes. Only then did he discover that the newcomer brought by the Xia sister had gone out.
"I don't want to go in, you don't want to pull me in, there are monsters in the mirror!!" It was a young girl who yelled at another girl standing next to her. "Don't touch me, I am going to find Xia Jie! If you want to sleep, you can sleep in it! I don’t want to be with you!
When she spoke, she saw a mirror on her side, but she directly smashed it up with her hand, and the mirror shattered. The sharp lens fell to the ground.
The girl walked to the other side of the corridor, raised her handcuffs and knocked on the door, and saw that the door should be the place where Xiajie lived.
After a while, the door opened.
"Xia sister, I don't want to live in my room." The girl said, "I have a ghost in my room!"
Because of the angle problem, Lin Qiu Shi couldn't see the expression of Xia Jie, but she could hear her voice. Her tone was not very good. It even sounded very indifferent. "Where can you live in your room? My house only Can live two people."
"I can't sleep, I can sleep on the sofa..." The girl pleaded.
"Sofa?" Xia Jie refused very politely. "Did you not hear what the person said when you were in the room? The number of people living in each room is fixed and cannot be increased casually. If you live in." Triggered the condition of death, it is not a house to be unlucky." She probably felt that her attitude was a little over, and she deliberately softened her voice. "There are many places in this world where you are horrible. You have to learn by yourself." With the habit, let's say, what did you see?"
The girl succumbs: "I saw the difference in the mirror and I made a different movement..."
Lin Qiu Shi heard a word, thinking that he had encountered such a situation just now.
"Different actions?" Xia Jie said, "Are you mistaken..."
"I didn't read it wrong!" The girl was so perfunctory by Xia Jie, and she was a little angry. "Xia sister, can't you find a way to help me? I don't want to enter the house!"
"It's better than this." Xia Jie said, "Since you said that there is a problem with the mirror, you simply break all the mirrors, so you don't have to be afraid."
The girl said: "But..."
Xia sister interrupted her words: "Otherwise, I have no other way."
The girl is in silence. At this moment, how slow she is, she will find that the person she is called Xia Jie is not right. She had only passed two doors before, and she was a woman named Xia Jie who was on the website. Xia Jie claimed to be able to help herself jump directly to the ninth. She followed her sister Xia, but after coming in, She found herself completely confused, and Xia Jie did not protect them as promised.
"I know." The girl muttered and saw Xia Jie directly close the door.
She was helpless and had to turn around and another girl returned to her room. A moment later, Lin Qiu Shi vaguely heard the sound of broken glass in their house. The girl seemed to have broken all the mirrors in the house according to the method Xia said.
Lin Qiu Shi told the Yinan candle and Cheng Yizhen what he saw.
"This summer sister is smart." The sound of the southern candle sounds a bit cold. "Take the person with the test."
Lin Qiu Shi sighed softly. Indeed, if the mirror is okay, then they can also smash the mirror. If there is something in the mirror, then Xia Jie has no loss. It seems that she brought so many newcomers in, as if the South Candle said, is taking the risk of these people to take risks.
After the sky gradually darkened, the air began to fill with the smell of the thing being burnt.
Cheng Yizhen’s sense of smell is very sensitive. After smelling this taste, he starts to have a low cough. In desperation, he can only cover his mouth and nose with a wet towel.
Lin Qiu Shi and Minnan Candles did not intend to go out to watch, but just as they were lying in bed and forced themselves to fall asleep, the corridor appeared again, this time the woman’s miserable scream, the position of the scream It is the room where the girl who smashed the mirror was.
"Ah, ah--" The screams of sternness were particularly harsh in the silent night. Lin Qiu-Shi saw through the cat's eyes that the girl was struggling to run out of her house. Her expression was very painful The next moment will fall to the ground and can't climb again.
After the candlestick appeared in Lin Qiu Shi, he reached out and gently pressed the door handle to open the door.
The gap allowed them to see the outside more clearly, and the candlestick passed through the gap, looking towards the mirror on the ceiling of the corridor, and then snorted softly.
Lin Qiu Shi followed the gaze of the South Candle and saw the scene inside the mirror.
I saw the girl in the mirror. The whole person was wrapped up in a red flame. Her body was a little blackened and carbonized, but she was still struggling, and the picture was terrible.
Lin Qiu Shi even smelled the smell of a meat being scorched.
"Ah, ah, ah..." She finally fell down. If she looked at it, she would find that she had no scars on her body, but only through the mirror can she know how painful she suffered.
Just when Lin Qiushi thought that all this was over, his hand was caught by the South Candle, and the candlestick slightly raised his chin, indicating that Lin Qiu Shi looked in a certain direction.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at it and found that there was a person in the mirror opposite the girl who was burned to death. The same looks, the same wearing, but the smile on the face is a little weird and stiff. The person in the mirror looked at the person who was burned to death outside the mirror, and actually extended his hand slowly - the hands came out from the mirror and caught Lived the girl's wrist, and then slowly pulled the girl's charred body into the mirror.
This scene is too horrible, Lin Qiu Shi's breathing is slightly blocked.
Minnan candle reached out and slowly closed the door in front of him. The hot breath was in the ear of Lin Qiu Shi, with a touch of smile in his voice: "Frightened?"
Lin Qiu Shi turned his head: "No." He paused for a moment and exclaimed, "Fortunately, I did not smash the mirror."
It seems that the mirror can't be smashed. Once it is broken, it will have serious consequences.
The candle in the south of the country is saying: "The house at the end of the corridor is burning again."
Lin Qiu Shiyi: "The last night?"
"Yes." Minnan Candle said, "It’s just a little different this time."
Lin Qiu-Shi just looked at the girls in front of me and did not pay attention to what happened at the end of the corridor.
"There was a room in the place where it was burning." Minnan candle said, "The fire is spreading toward it."
He grabbed Lin Qiushi’s wrist and pulled Lin Qiushi back into the house, so that Cheng Yizhen, who was leaning against the bed, could also hear their conversation:
The location of our room is not very good. If the fire continues to burn here, It will soon be where we are."
Change the room?
Cheng Yizhen suggested.
"I don't know if I can change it." Minnan Candle said, "Go to the waiter tomorrow and ask, if he doesn't give us a room card, it doesn't matter." He laughed. "Although the electronic lock is a bit troublesome, it is not Can't open."
Listening to his confident tone, Lin Qiu Shi’s heart suddenly gave him a strong admiration.
"Well, let's go to sleep first." Minnan candle looked at his watch. "It has already been this point, and then it will go down, and the sky will be bright." He looked at Lin Qiushi. "Will you be with me?"
Lin Qiu Shi declined the goodwill of the South Candle, and decided to sleep on the sofa. Of course, before he went to sleep, he still had the courage to go into the toilet again, seriously washing his feet, this time there was no moth in the mirror.
The time in the middle of the night was very calm and there was no more accident.
Early the next morning, Lin Qiu Shi just opened his eyes in a confused way, and saw that the candlestick had changed clothes and was ready to go out.
"So early?" Lin Qiu Shi looked at the time, only about six o'clock, the sky was just bright, yesterday they were sleeping at three o'clock in the morning, the South Candle was only three hours of sleep.
"It's a bit of a thing." The candlestick in Minnan is very light. "I will go alone, you will continue to sleep."
Lin Qiu Shi looked at the bedside. Cheng Yizhen was a child. He was asleep during this time. He was not woken up. He lowered his voice: "Let me be together."
"No," said Minnan Candle. "It's not a dangerous thing." He said this, he had already reached the door, opened the door lightly and went straight out.
Lin Qiu Shi looked at his back, but he still couldn't continue to fall asleep. He sat up from the bed, because he was afraid of waking up, and he was very careful when changing clothes.
When Lin Qiu Shi changed his clothes and went out, the South Candles had disappeared. Lin Qiu Shi thought about it and went to the second floor restaurant.
At this time, the restaurant was still empty, but there were two or three people sitting. Lin Qiuishi noticed that Luo Qianshui, who was not in the middle of the candlestick, sat in the corner yesterday. Her look is a little anxious, the frequency of reading the watch is very frequent, and seems to be waiting for someone.
Lin Qiu Shi took some things and found a table. The first reaction after sitting down was to look at his watch. After reading it, he was shocked to see that his reaction with Luo Qianshui seemed to be a bit like a sudden disappointment, then he took control of his actions and took out his mobile phone to continue playing Sudoku.
About ten minutes later, two figures appeared at the door of the restaurant.
Luo Qianshui stood up far away, and happily shouted at the door - Luo Qianshan came. Behind Luo Qianshan, another person is also going inside, it is the candlestick that Lin Qiu Shi is waiting for.
Luo Qianshan went to Luo Qianshui's side, although the two men lowered their voices, but Lin Qiu Shi still clearly understood their dialogue.
Luo Qianshui asked: "Brother, have you changed?"
Luo Qianshan Road: "Changed."
"Which one?" Luo Qianshui asked, "Is the one inside?"
"No." Luo Qianshan said, "He moves faster than me. I only switched to the penultimate."
Luo Qianshui cursed a few words, and the wording was obviously a girl. She said, "You don't have a tough attitude?"
Luo Qianshan's tone brought helplessness: "I am tough."
Luo Qianshui: "What?"
Luo Qianshan: "I haven't beat her."
Luo Qianshui: "..."
The girl who was still harder than the Qianshan Mountains came to Lin Qiu Shi’s face and gave it a good taste. She picked up a white boiled egg and began to peel it. Lin Qiu Shi looked at the candle in the south: "Is the room card gone?"
Minnan candle took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qiuishi: "Well."
Lin Qiu Shi took the room card and saw that the number on the top is the innermost part of the corridor, which is the farthest position from the burning room.
"This is probably the time limit." Minnan Candle said, "Leave here before the corridor is burned." He opened his mouth and his white teeth left a beautiful tooth print on the boiled egg. "That Luo Qianshan Good skills."
Lin Qiu Shiyi said: "Are you playing a game?"
Minnan candle faintly said: "Well."
If this is placed outside the world, it may be said that a woman has priority, but what is the priority of life-critical things, Luo Qianshan, after determining that Minnan Candles got the best room number, I shot him.
The candlestick of Minnan was really a girl, and he might have been bullied, but he was not, so he gave Luo Qianshan a reckless backhand.
Lin Qiu-shi saw from the expression of the candle in the south of the candle that he must have failed. He said: "I feel that their brothers and sisters are also very powerful."
The Minnan candle swallowed the boiled egg: "I am amazing?"
Lin Qiushi: "No, no, you are the best."
Minnan candle, nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, it was close to 7:30, the sky outside was already lit, and people living on the 34th floor entered the restaurant.
Lin Qiu Shi saw Cheng Yizhen.
Cheng Yizhen walked over to them and sat down, his tone a little annoyed: "How come you don't call me."
"Children should sleep a little longer," said Minnan Candle. "And if you get up, you can't help."
Cheng Yizhen is silent.
Lin Qiushi said: "What do you want to eat? I will help you."
"No." Cheng Yizhen refused Lin Qiu-Shi's kindness and stood up and took it for himself.
Minnan candle looked at his back and sighed softly.
Lin Qiushi said: "How old were you when you first started?"
Minnan’s candle licked his fingers:
It’s not clear enough, eighteen or nineteen.
Lin Qiu Shi heard the words, from the first door to the tenth door, the candlestick spent six or seven years, and he did not know what he had experienced in the six or seven years.
Cheng Yizhen took the food and returned to the table. Lin Qiu Shi was planning to talk to him, but he noticed a person coming in from the door. When he was sure that he didn't look at his eyes, his expression solidified for a few seconds.
The person who came in was a normal-looking girl, and everything was very ordinary. She had a smile on her face and went to the place where she put the food to start picking up the breakfast. At first glance, her body was not noticeable— - If Lin Qiushi did not see the pictures from the cracks yesterday, he might feel that he was just an ordinary person.
That's right, she was the girl who smashed the mirror last night and was finally burned alive and then pulled in by someone in the mirror. At this point she appeared in front of everyone, as if everything that happened last night was just an illusion of dreams.
Minnan candlestick also saw her, his expression became a bit serious.
The girl took the food and smiled and walked to the table next to Xia Jie and began to eat.
Lin Qiu-Shi noticed that the expression of the girl who lived with her began to become uncomfortable, and even began to show horror in her eyes. In the end, the girl couldn’t control it. After she got up, she rushed out of the restaurant. The other people at the table didn't seem to know what happened to the girl last night, so they didn't show rejection - they didn't even know that the girl in front of the girl had changed.
"Last night, when she was in the mirror, she used her right hand."
Lin Qiu Shiyi, then understood the meaning of the South Candle, he looked at the girl again, and found that the girl's hand with chopsticks turned into the left hand.
"Is the person in the mirror coming out?" Lin Qiu Shi suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was difficult to swallow.
"It should be." Minnan's candle held his chin and picked up the hair on his ear. He said: "Fortunately, I didn't smash the mirror, otherwise... I can see two of me today. "He said that it was a very subtle smile. "It seems very interesting to think about it."
Lin Qiu Shi: "..." What are you laughing at? Why is the smile so strange?
Cheng Yi’s brows, some unhappy:
She is stinking.
Minnan Candle: "It's stinking?"
Cheng Yizhen: "Yes, a bit of burnt smell." He put down the food in his hand, it seems that this taste has seriously affected the appetite, and there are some doubts in his expression.
Minnan candle asked him: "What happened?"
"I feel like I smelled this smell on the first day." Cheng Yizhen said.
"The first day? The first night?" Lin Qiu-Shi thought of what happened last night.
Cheng Yizhen shook his head, his brow was screwed to death, his lips were slightly open, and he said something that Lin Qiu Shi and Minnan Candle did not think. He said, "No, not the first night, but The first day is in the hall."
A look at the candlestick in Minnan: "Lobby?!"
Cheng Yizhen nodded: "Yes, the taste is very light. I thought I was wrong." He seemed to think of something. He wanted to say it. The candlestick of Minnan made a squeaking gesture, indicating that he would not Say something, say it.
However, although he did not let it say, Lin Qiu Shi also understood what Cheng Yizhen said, which means that in the first day of the hall, there are people who have been burned to death in the crowd - even, may not stop One. Lin Qiu-Shi thought of this, involuntarily licked the dry lips, but there was a sentence in his mind: taking people as the mirror...
