Explore different genres of urban fiction; there's bound to be one that suits your taste.
I ran all the way downstairs.
The flashing neon lights in the bar and the remaining forty or fifty customers gave her a sense of security.
Even wearing lace pajamas, I didn't feel so cold.
"Call the police! Yes, call the police!"
He turned himself over.
Cell phones are used to smash mirrors.
She quickly ran to the bar, and when she got there, she saw a strange Asian man wearing a green suit.
She was stunned:
"Who are you?"
Yang Xiao replied listlessly:
"I am Andy."
I learned the name from those two unlucky guys.
He paused for a moment, then paused again.
"I am Andy's aunt."
Yang Xiao raised her head and looked directly at the man, who was around forty years old. .
These foreigners all look the same; how could he tell them apart?
Yang Xiao gave an awkward laugh:
"I was brought in by Andy to fill in for him; he went to the bathroom."
There was no time to worry about that, so he quickly said:
"My phone! I need to call the police!"
Yang Xiao was taken aback, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Call the police?
Yang Xiao returned to the first floor because he wanted to find the revived forbidden item.
If something forbidden resurfaces, it will inevitably lead to murder.
Where are the most people?
The bar on the first floor is naturally the most crowded.
Strangely enough, after guarding the bar for three hours, no one has gotten into trouble.
With singing and dancing in peace and prosperity, how could it possibly resemble the resurgence of something forbidden?
Now this foreign woman is saying she's going to call the police?
Judging from the fear on her face...
Yang Xiao asked:
"What happened?"
He swallowed hard.
"There's a version of myself in my room, holding an axe and chopping me down!"
You, you must think I'm crazy, but it's true!
Quickly, grab your phone and call the police!
Just then, a series of screams rang out.
Two pale-faced girls fled down from the second-floor bathroom:
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead!"
"Help!"
"The bathroom was full of corpses!"
All the guests looked at the two girls.
At first, it was out of curiosity, but when the guests saw that one of the girls was covered in blood, they panicked.
Yang Xiao remembered the two girls.
They were drunk and staggered to the bathroom.
Now I've clearly encountered something quite terrible, and I'm completely sober.
Yang Xiao suddenly remembered.
It seems that no one who went to the restroom ever came back.
He angrily pounded his head:
"How could I only just realize something so obvious!"
It's not his fault.
If a normal person were to devour a shadow, they would gain all of that shadow's memories and skills.
It is extremely painful and maddening when memories that do not belong to you are forcibly forced into your mind.
It starts with at least severe schizophrenia, or it could lead to complete mental breakdown.
Yang Xiao has absorbed too many shadows, and it is quite difficult to maintain one's original mind amidst the madness and collapse.
But Yang Xiao was used to it; he was a monster who could survive in pain.
Unlike before, Yang Xiao has a new body, which is extremely sensitive in terms of mental state.
He hasn't fully adapted yet.
The guests started running towards the door.
Yang Xiao then walked towards the restroom.
She glanced at him, her eyes filled with surprise.
If you know there might be something like that there, why go that way in the first place?
.....
The two girls were the first to run out of the bar.
They were stunned when they arrived at the door.
It was pitch black outside, and the streetlights were off.
Everything was quiet, and there was no movement on the street, as if the area had been forcibly put on pause.
Could it be... the legendary public order control?
The guests rushed out and ran frantically outside.
At that moment, several blinding searchlights shone from the roofs of large black vans on the street.
The guests stopped and blocked the light.
A dozen or so armed men in uniforms with crosses on their chests stared coldly at them.
Some observant people noticed that there were several grotesque devil sculptures on the street.
Everything was so bizarre, so...unrealistic!
At that moment, the broadcast started:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to the bar."
We suspect that there are wanted criminals among you.
Please return to the bar and wait for our agents to enter and handle the situation.
The guests understood.
It turns out there was a wanted criminal in the bar, which is why people died.
The two girls, who were already terrified, mustered their courage and shouted:
"I demand that you protect us now!"
"We mustn't go back; it's too dangerous inside!"
The broadcast sounded again:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please return to the bar and await the arrival of our agents!"
Although the broadcast was very official, it was also very approachable and seemed to show great respect to everyone.
But......
The men in black, armed with guns, had already raised their weapons at them.
They are prosecutors from the Ghost Inspection Bureau, and they cannot allow any human who might be infected by the "ghosts" to enter the city.
Or suddenly baring its fangs at these prosecutors, causing unnecessary casualties.
The guests swallowed hard, raised their hands, and cautiously retreated back into the bar.
The head of the prosecutors was a bald, dark-skinned man. He glanced at his assistant:
When will the Dark Council arrive?
Damn it, we really can't have any more people dying!
Prosecutors have their own principles for handling matters.
First and foremost, you must ensure your own safety.
He can draw his gun on anyone if necessary.
Secondly, it's about protecting ordinary people.
Of course, if too many people are injured or killed due to an abnormal event, their bonuses will be deducted.
Or they might face other charges, in which case they'll have to hire lawyers and spend a lot of money.
Fortunately, the bar wasn't crowded, and the golems bought from the Dark Council were able to prevent the 'ghosts' from escaping and causing even greater damage.
The assistant wiped his sweat:
"They're almost there, very soon. The two messengers of hell are on their way."
......
A small red stream flows at the entrance to the restroom.
Yang Xiao then understood why the two girls hadn't been killed.
They were already scared away by the scene before they even reached the restroom.
One girl even slipped and fell here.
So, that forbidden item is in the bathroom!
Yang Xiao strode toward the bathroom, casually pointing to the other end of the corridor.
A shadow slipped out and swam towards the other end of the corridor.
The Seven Musketeers taught him a painful lesson.
Therefore, when dealing with dangerous situations in the future, I will always leave a shadow in a safe place.
Yang Xiao hummed a lighthearted tune as he stepped over the corpses and walked to the sink, where he washed his hands first.
He laid himself bare, offering himself as bait, waiting for that thing to come out.
In the mirror, 'Yang Xiao' did not bend down, but stared menacingly at the back of Yang Xiao's neck, raising the bloodstained long axe.
"Ah!! Watch out!"
A woman screamed.
A chilling killing intent flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, and he suddenly leaped backward.
There, a bloodstained long axe lay on the sink.
Yang Xiao looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief.
Although he had just made a complete mistake, his own shadow was watching from all directions.
How could I not see the abnormality in the mirror?
Could it be... because that thing in the mirror is also a reflection?
Yang Xiao turned around and looked at the woman at the door who had reminded him.
Is that The owner of this bar.
She had just been forced back to the bar by the ghost prosecutors.
What wanted criminal? That's all nonsense. It's clearly the work of a ghost!
She was a bit clever and sensed that Yang Xiao was an unusual person, so she felt that she was safe only by staying by her side.
Yang Xiaochong gave a thumbs up.
At this time, Her eyes widened, and she screamed again:
"above!"
Yang Xiao raised his head.
On the ceiling, his own reflection was grinning wickedly, raising a long axe and hacking at him.
Yang Xiao retreated again, dodging the fatal blow.
This time they were smarter and looked directly into the mirror opposite them.
Sure enough, the reflection in the mirror held up a long axe, its gaze filled with malice.
Enraged and embarrassed, Yang Xiao's lips slowly curved into a sinister smile:
"You like playing with shadows? Let me show you who's boss here!"
The next second, shadows slid out from under Yang Xiao's feet...
The mirror was instantly filled to the brim.
One by one, strangers, numb or in pain, filled the world in the mirror.
Yang Xiao, holding a long axe, stared in astonishment at everything around him.
It's so crowded, there's not even enough room to lift an axe!
Yang Xiao pointed at the mirror and said sternly:
"Get him!"
