Midnight Bookstore Chapter 179 – The Man In The Mirror

All of a sudden, there was a feeling that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. Zhou ze subconsciously lowered his center of gravity to prevent himself from falling down.

However, he saw that the old priest in the bathroom was still holding his own faucet and screaming

Xu Qinglang, who was still sleeping on the living room sofa, did not seem to feel anything strange at all.

Zhou Ze suddenly realized that it was not really an earthquake, but because all the light and shadows around him had a huge deviation, creating an illusion of violent shaking.

All the things that reflected light around him seemed to come alive at this time. They became very active and began to actively try to mislead and influence you.

This was a very strange feeling. It was as if at this time, you had been rejected by the entire environment. They were no longer the dead things around you. They were no longer at your Beck and call, allowing you to trample on the tools you used, after they had their own consciousness, they instinctively began to reject you and began to hate you.

Zhou Ze opened his mouth and wanted to wake Xu Qinglang up. However, when he shouted, Xu Qinglang continued to lie on the sofa and sleep, as if he had not heard anything.

No matter how much he slept, he could not die like this.

“Old Priest!”

Zhou ze called out again.

The old priest was standing in the bathroom. He was still staring at his faucet and shouting. No matter how much Zhou Ze called out to him, he did not turn around.

Gradually, Zhou Ze discovered that the old priest's figure was twisting. Xu Qinglang's body, who was sleeping on the sofa, was also twisting. It was as if he was in a laughing mirror room. The surrounding light was bent, it brought an extremely painful visual impact.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou ze began to close his eyes. He was no longer a rookie who had just become a ghost messenger. In the past half a year, he could be considered to have experienced storms and storms. He knew that the first thing he had to do in the face of such a situation was to calm his heart.

If his heart was as clear as ice, he would not be alarmed even if the sky collapsed!

However, just as Zhou Ze closed his eyes, he felt that he was suddenly weightless under his feet. It was as if he was about to fall into the abyss of the cliff in the next moment.

This kind of feeling often appeared when he was sleeping. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he was falling. Then, he would subconsciously tremble and quickly wake up, only to find that it was a false alarm.

However, for Zhou Ze, this feeling lasted for a long time, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

Zhou Ze could only choose to open his eyes. The moment he opened them again, rays of white light suddenly burst out from his surroundings. This brightness was like a car in front of him suddenly turning on its high beam at night.

After a moment of dizziness and blindness, when Zhou Ze's vision regained clarity, he realized that he was still standing in the living room.

Nothing had changed in his surroundings. It was as if everything just now was just an uncountable illusion. It was all a gla.s.s illusion. But soon, Zhou Ze realized that something was wrong.

The sofa was still the same sofa, but Xu Qinglang, who was on the sofa, was gone.

The bathroom was still the same, but the old priest who had peed and bled in the bathroom was also gone.

The furnis.h.i.+ngs were all there, and nothing had changed. However, there was only himself, and only himself.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath. The lights were on, but the brightness of the lights was obviously not enough. It could even be said that it was very, very low, making everything here seem very dim.

When he walked into the bathroom, through the cracked mirror on the wall, Zhou Ze suddenly saw the figures of the old priest and Xu Qinglang in the mirror.

The old priest leaned against the wall, his face full of fear and his body covered in blood. Xu Qinglang was helping him to watch, as if she was comforting the old priest.

They were in the mirror?

Zhou Ze was a little stunned. Then, Zhou Ze saw Xu Qinglang helping the old priest out of the bathroom. He couldn't see them anymore.

“Hey! Can You Hear Me?”

Zhou ze called out, but there was no response. Then, Zhou Ze left the bathroom and walked into the living room. There was a huge photo frame in the living room. Inside it was an oil painting of the eight stallions. From the Mirror, Zhou Ze saw the old priest sitting on the sofa in the living room, xu Qinglang brought him a gla.s.s of water.

Then, Xu Qinglang lit up a talisman paper and mixed it into the cup. He handed it to the old priest to drink.

The old priest frowned in pain and drank the talisman water in one gulp. Then, he continued to Huff and Puff.

Zhou Ze couldn't hear their voices at all. He could only see their images and movements.

It wasn't until Zhou Ze saw that he was in the picture that his heart sank,

things..,

really turned into an unimaginable point.

He just lay there on the sofa, not moving at all.

Xu Qinglang and the old priest looked at him with concern from time to time. Xu Qinglang was still wiping his face with a wet towel, but he did not feel anything.

Phew..

He understood,

it was not that they did not know why they had entered the mirror,

in fact..,

the one who had truly entered the mirror..,

was himself!

Zhou ze tried to scratch the surface of the mirror with his fingernails. He instinctively wanted to break this thing and get out, but his originally invincible fingernails really couldn't do anything to this small mirror at this time, this mirror was like a diamond, so solid that it made people despair.

After trying for a while, Zhou Ze gave up and sat down on the sofa.

After sitting down, Zhou Ze found that the furnis.h.i.+ngs in the room were indeed the same, but in fact, the arrangement was reversed. After all, what was in the mirror was indeed the opposite of reality.

Reaching out and touching it, Zhou Ze found that his cigarette was still there. He took a cigarette and put it in his mouth. It could really be lit with a lighter. When he smoked it, it really smelled like tobacco.

Zhou Ze did not know what state he was in. His body was still in reality outside the mirror, but everything here was so real that it did not seem like his soul had left his body.

Zhou Ze had experienced the state of his soul leaving his body. It was a very weak and uncertain feeling, but he clearly did not have this feeling now. This meant that his so-called soul had not been sucked into it.

Zhou ze remembered that in the afternoon in the restaurant, his nails were useless to those “Souls”. This seemed to mean that he was in the same state as those “Souls”who were eating in the restaurant?

Not the soul,

not the body,

a… Very strange and indescribable state?

This was..,

the state in the mirror?

That night, Zhou Ze basically sat on the sofa. He was thinking about how to get out and how to leave this place. Zhou Ze also tried to open the door to take a look outside, but he discovered that the other side of the door, including the wall of the courtyard.., it was all blocked by a layer of “Gla.s.s.”He could not get out at all and could only move around in this narrow area.

Therefore, that night, he either sat on the sofa and pondered about life, or he stood in front of the picture frame and watched the old priest and Xu Qinglang anxiously think of all kinds of ways to wake him up.

In fact, Zhou Ze was most worried about whether Xu Qinglang and the old priest would take his body back to the study room in the city the next day?

Although Zhou Ze was very determined, he really didn't want to be abandoned by his companions, even if they didn't know that he was actually in the mirror.

Zhou ze even tried to put water in the hot spring pool and then soak in it a few times. He found that even if he buried his head in the pool, he still couldn't leave this area. Zhou Ze had tried every possible method and failed.

In short, the night pa.s.sed very slowly. It was so long that Zhou Ze felt a little suffocated.

When the weak sunlight shone outside, Zhou ze slowly raised his head,

it was dawn, right.

“Crack… Crack…”

There seemed to be the sound of something breaking. Zhou Ze stood up and walked to the door. He reached out to open the door and found that a piece of the gla.s.s outside was broken. It was enough for a person to walk out normally.

This was like a tunnel for children in an amus.e.m.e.nt park. Once Zhou Ze walked in, he could only walk along this only route. This was because there was a thin layer of gla.s.s around him. He could see the people outside and the scenery outside, but he could not get out.

No matter how much strength he used, he could not break this layer of gla.s.s.

As he walked, Zhou Ze saw a door. The door was open, so he walked in.

Then..,

he was suddenly enlightened.

After all, after walking through the narrow gla.s.s corridor for more than ten minutes, he suddenly walked into an open area. It really felt like a fisherman had mistakenly entered the peach blossom country.

However, what Zhou Ze walked into was a restaurant.

The layout of the buffet..,

the familiar environment..,

it was the restaurant in the hotel.

“Sir, please give me your room card.”

A voice came from beside Zhou Ze.

Zhou ze turned his head and looked at her.

This was the waiter. However, her mouth was on her eyes, and her facial features were upside down, giving people a very frightening feeling.

Zhou Ze did not move,

the other party reached out and took out a room card from her own body.

“h.e.l.lo, I wish you a happy meal.”The waiter smiled.

This smile was the most horrifying Smile Zhou Ze had ever seen in his life. Pica.s.so could not draw such an effect, right.

There were not many people in the restaurant, but after Zhou Ze sat down, more and more customers started to come in to eat. It was exactly the same scene as yesterday.

However, Zhou Ze was a bystander yesterday. This time, he had fallen into the trap.

He didn't go to get food. He just sat down at Yesterday's table. If that was the case, Zhou Ze really wanted to see if Xu Qinglang and the old priest would also come through the hot spring pool.

Before Xu Qinglang and the old priest arrived, Zhou Ze first waited for the family of three. They also sat down at Yesterday's table. The little girl sat down first while the parents went to get food.

Then..,

the headless family of three stared blankly at the dazzling array of food in front of them.

“Hi, how are you? We meet again.”Zhou Ze was somewhat amused by the bitterness.

However..,

the family of three who had been unable to communicate before suddenly turned their bodies to face Zhou Ze collectively,

they had no head..,

logically speaking, they couldn't speak. After all, they couldn't eat either,

but they made a sound. They made a sound collectively,

even though it was only a simple word:

“Hi.”
