Chapter 985 Mirror
Ange was silent for a few seconds, just as she was about to speak—
boom--!!!
A loud bang came from another direction in the amusement park.
That's the direction the haunted house is in.
All five people turned their heads at the same time.
Under the crimson sky, a window in the Gothic castle suddenly shattered, and eerie green light poured out from the broken window, twisting into bizarre shapes in the air.
Immediately afterwards, several sharp, inhuman screams came from that direction, so loud that they drowned out all the noise in other areas of the amusement park.
Someone has had an accident.
He Lingling's pupils contracted sharply.
In her field of vision, a thick, dark aura of resentment surged from the direction of Ghost Castle, an aura that was almost solidified.
“It’s someone from ‘Fukagawa’…and…Xylitol…”
She struggled to discern the living presence mixed within the resentment.
"What...did they encounter in the haunted house?"
"Whatever happens is none of our business."
Anjie looked away, her tone calm.
“Sister An is right. Our task is to collect badges, not to think about what our competitors are doing.”
Yu Shijiu also whispered.
He Lingling was silent for a few seconds, then nodded along with Chen Yi.
"You're all right."
Xu Han rubbed his hands together nervously.
"But Mutangtang... although she's a competitor now, she and we worked together before in the Fuling Hotel instance, right?"
As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and he himself realized that what he was saying was somewhat inappropriate.
Sure enough, Anjie's gaze swept over, carrying a hint of helplessness.
"Xiao Han, this is a guild competition."
“…I know, Sister An.”
Xu Han lowered his head, scratched his ear, and knowing he was in the wrong, stopped talking.
But Yu Shijiu stared in the direction of the haunted house, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Amidst the surging resentment, he sensed a strange sense of familiarity.
It wasn't familiarity with Xylitol herself, but rather a familiarity with something about her...?
Just like in the "Homecoming" instance, his left arm had a "craving" for those dark red, polluted streams.
"Shi Jiu?"
He Lingling's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"what happened?"
"nothing."
Yu Shijiu withdrew his gaze and smiled at her.
"I just felt that it was quite lively over there."
He Lingling stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded without asking any further questions.
"Then let's go."
Ange took the lead and walked in the opposite direction from Ghost Castle.
"Next target - roller coasters."
---------
Inside the Ghost Castle.
The five members of the "Fukagawa" guild, along with the Mutangtang family, were currently in complete darkness.
The loud noise just now was from He Tian, a male player from the "Shenchuan" guild, who used his talent skill "Wind Blade" to cleave open a sealed iron door in a moment of desperation when he and his companions were surrounded by a group of monsters.
But after the iron gate was split open, the exit they had been expecting did not appear.
Instead, a huge, circular hall appeared.
The walls around the hall were covered with mirrors...
Countless mirrors of varying sizes and shapes stretch from the floor to the ceiling, each reflecting a different scene.
There were female tourists screaming in terror and running away in panic, a clown in a top hat with a sinister smile, and a male tourist being dragged into the darkness by someone whose body had been torn in half...
But the strangest thing is that what is reflected in the mirror is not their current reflection.
“These mirrors…”
Jiang Chuan gripped his weapon tightly, cold sweat beading on his forehead.
He looked at the nearest mirror.
The mirror, which should have reflected my own image, instead showed a little girl in a white dress, crouching on the dark brown-red floor inside the ghost castle, hugging her knees and crying.
The little girl squatting on the ground had her face obscured by her long, disheveled hair, making it impossible to see her features, but her cries were clear as if they were right next to her ear.
"Waaaaah... Mommy... Mommy, where are you... I'm so scared... I'll never run away again... Mommy... Mommy, where are you...?"
Jiang Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Xylitol.
Mutangtang was holding Grandma Mu's hand and wandering around. She stood in the center of the mirror hall, her big round eyes curiously looking at the different mirrors around her.
As before, Mutangtang still had the familiar smile on her face, as if she hadn't heard the crying coming from the mirror at all.
"Tangtang..."
Jiang Chuan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Just then, a sharp laugh suddenly came from another mirror behind him.
"Hehehe—Found it—Found it—Baby's here—Baby, why are you hiding here—What are you doing hiding here?"
Jiang Chuan and the four people who had been on guard behind him suddenly turned around, huddled together, and refused to move an inch.
In a large mirror, about 1.8 meters tall, a blurry, tall black figure is running wildly in a certain direction.
The tall, dark figure was holding a gleaming knife. Judging from the surroundings reflected in the mirror, it seemed to be heading towards the little girl who had been crouching on the ground.
Jiang Chuan didn't know why, but he subconsciously turned his head to look at Mu Tangtang in the center of the hall not far away.
The smile on Xylitol's face froze.
She stared at the mirror, her pupils reflecting the entire body of the running black figure.
Even Grandma Mu, who was holding her hand, had a face that was always full of kindness and gentleness, but at this moment, it became... blank.
It was a blankness devoid of any expression, which looked very strange and made this old lady, who usually seemed quite humane, appear stiff and rigid.
"What is he going to do..."
Mutangtang murmured, her voice losing its deliberate coquettishness for the first time, becoming... blank and irritable.
"Is that Mommy...? Has Mommy come to find me...?"
Her words had barely faded—
In the huge mirror, a tall, dark figure, knife in hand, had caught up with the little girl in the white dress who was standing up in surprise.
wow——
A flash of light appeared.
Blood splattered.
The little girl's cries abruptly ceased at the sudden murder scene.
Jiang Chuan's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously moved a little further away from Mu Tangtang and her granddaughter.
Lin Pian, He Tian, and the other three followed suit and took several steps back.
Lin Pian wanted to say something: "Jiang Chuan, don't you think Mu Tangtang and the others—"
"Don't speak."
Jiang Chuan quickly and coldly stopped her.
Lin Pian, who received Jiang Chuan's look, was speechless.
The entire hall of mirrors fell into a deathly silence.
After an eerie silence lasting about a minute, the images in all the mirrors in the hall began to distort and change simultaneously.
